Red Axes - Chew The Gun

All Is Well

Scapegoat

Those familiar with the world of dub disco and modern Balearica should know all about Layne Fox, a San Francisco-based producer who has released some killer records over the last decade as part of noted collective 40 Thieves.

The Bay Area ensemble has been responsible for some killer records, including gems on Rong Music and Leng, who released their expansive debut album The Sky Is Yours back in 2014.

Now, Fox has decided to go it alone for an outing on Magic Feet that marks his first solo outing since 2005’s Move Me under the Tuffy alias. It’s something of a gem, too, effortlessly combining many of his familiar influences with nods towards druggy Italo-disco and horizontal pop.

Fox delivers two contrasting versions of No Runnin’ Away. There’s a Vocal Mix, where Sunny’s icy, atmospheric voice drifts over a chugging mid-tempo groove built around a Moroder-style bassline, swirling electronics, dreamy chords and metronomic beats. Typically, Fox also provides a tasty Dub, where select vocal snippets drift in an out of a delay and reverb heavy mix that also gives increased prominence to his stretched-out synths and late night electronics.

Magic Feet boss Craig Bratley handles remix duties himself, offering a complimentary but notably different interpretation. His version subtly emphasizes the track’s downbeat pop credentials, pushing the vocal to the fore above a sparse electro groove, dreamy pads and flashes of acid-inspired electronics. Think Cold Wave vibes but with actual production values, not pretend ‘mastered on cassette’. It’s the perfect accompaniment to Fox’s hypnotic, head-in-the-clouds original.

PRÈMIÉRE: Roe Deers - Hunting [Rotten City]

SUBSTANCE D

Israeli imprint @Unterman delivers a new debut EP courtesy of @YaniAni, a fellow Tel Avivian who is a DJ, producer and visual artist now based in Holland.

Synths are tweaked and guitar licks chopped up across three original tracks where Yani shares a glimpse of his influences, spanning new wave, punk, indie, nu disco and rhythm tracks. Opener and title track “Yalla Bo” is the twinkling subtropical chugger, “Ohevet” is the poster track for post-punk à la Tel Aviv and “Hectic Living Rhythm” closes the trio of originals with an energy lifting alloy of body-shaking percussions, gangsta feels guitars and tripped out noises galore. D.Y.O.R. completes the package with a rework of the title track.

Release Date - 07/12/18
