BTCOP - Releases

BTCOP - I So Late/ Lexeme (Evil Plans)

NEW BEGINNINGS

Once in a while we do a premiere with music we enjoy. This time we have The Evil PLans Records with BTCOP with the EP Just A Disco
To keep it simple it´s just a wonderful tribute to the late grate Andrew Weatherall.
Lights On A Hill Mix is a slow wonky tune that we would enjoy on an afterparty late sunday afternoon. The Justin Robertson remix is track that you need to listen to on a proper soundsystem, it´s dubby with a sub bass that kills! Pass me that spliff please!

The latest release of uju Records ‘Galaxy Express’, is from Shubostar herself, a sweet, uncomplicated and fun-filled journey through keytar synths, twinkling leads and, of course, cosmic off-beat bass. Spaniard JAMES ROD flips the original and turns it into a deeper but still cosmic peak time version for when the serotonin really kicks in.

Hello World! 
My first piece of Music out there is proudly the finale of Flemmings upcomming EP "The Violet Hour", comming out on 12th July 2019.
A moment between day and night. A story of dusk and dawn. A scent of elder flowers and wet asphalt. The violet hour looms at the horizon and the time loop closes. Everything is connected.

AVIATIK II - The Violet Hour

Flemming Bassedow - The Blue Hour (Lennart Olsson Rework)

'Iguana is the debut release of Dead Husband on Bordello A Parigi. The American group push their unique sound to new levels across this EP. Tracks, like the title piece, pace on skeletal beats with lyrics soaked into melody to create a bliss steeped style touched with melancholy. “Memory” trills with a similarly emotive tone. A lovelorn line marches to a pulsating drum. Machine words speak, melting with tear-stained chords in a contemporary work fitting of the modern romantics. The B-Side adopts a new complexion with “They’ll Be Fine Without You.” Despite the finality of the title, the track courses with an invigorating energy as rhythms race next effervescent notes. Percussive patterns quicken for the close, “Lake.” Sheer crystalline keys scale skyward, dancing and writhing between steady kicks and echoing voice. Synthesizer gems care of this Boston based outfit.'

Exclusive Premiere: BTCOP – I So Late (Evil Plans Records)

@BTCOP first got into electronic music at the age 14 when he first bunked into the legendry Scottish nightclub ‘Pure’ in Edinburgh. That was back in 1990. He was hooked overnight and starting attending raves and clubs whenever he could.  At this stage he was never really interested in DJing and was more interested in the instruments used to make electronic music. He was always interested in the techy side of music production and was very aware of instruments such as the TB303, TR808 and TR909. When he just turned 17 his father, a professional guitar tutor, offered an Akai sampler or driving lessons. This was a no brainer. He already had an Atari ST for gaming so was able to create a small set up using Cubase, a small mixer and monitors. Then the mid 90s happened and some of the sparkle seemed to have gone from the scene. In any case he lost interest for a while until about 2000 when he started attending another legendary Scottish Club night ‘Optimo’. 

By this time he was working professionally as a consultant engineer so had some disposable income and it was at this stage he started collecting vinyl on a pretty large scale. Buying up loads of old Belgian new beat and techno records as well as more modern electronic sounds. He also started to reignite some interest in music production and started buying up some of the old classic Roland analogue gear. He slowly built up a home studio and started learning modern production techniques. By 2012 he was attending ALFOS at the Berkley suit in Glasgow and it was at this time that he really started to spend more and more of his spare time experimenting with production. This had to be balanced with raising two young kids and working full time which made progress slow, but reconnecting with the nightlife seemed to spark a much greater level of inspiration which led him to sending some demo tracks to NEIN records, which were snapped up and signed. More recently BTCOP sent some tracks out to Evil Plans Records.
 
When Jamie Tolley (co-owner of Evil Plans Records) called BTCOP to tell him he wanted to release the tracks they immediately started discussing remixes, very quickly agreeing on who they would like to get on board. So Jamie set about the task and contacted Duncan Gray and Javier Busto. They were both exited to hear they were up for it. As it turned out, Duncan actually produced two great remixes so rather than pick just one, the decision was made to include both on the release. A very pleasant bonus. Javier and Duncan really delivered on this.

For his first release on this new label BTCOP presents two contrasting tracks. He explains: ‘I So Late was produced in the sunny summer of lockdown reflects the slower pace of life in isolation. Whereas Lexeme, a total opposite, is an evil plan and is yearning for us to get back onto the darker side of the dancefloor.’

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition, we welcome @hhaller

Working his way through different parts of the electronic music scene in Berlin, Hamburg and Leipzig, for a long time H.Haller was looking for the right idea to settle for. Several years ago he experienced the enchanting pull of the mystical nights and days at electronic music festivals. What has most shook his consciousness was this new, loving encounter of community, which is resembled by those playful nights, when strangers meet under the shivering roofs of trees and stars. 

Reenacting these experiences of togetherness in the uniting strength of deep rhythms and heavy percussions is what describes H.Haller's sounds most precisely. In his versatile sets, he’s combining genres from slowed down Melodic House, Dark Disco, Deep House, always ready for a change - this is when the nasty beats and breaks of Future/Bass house come surprisingly in.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

Lexeme (Javier Busto Remix) [EVIL PLANS RECORDS] Clip

Australian / Dutch producer Ozzy (Oscar Jones) is releasing his new EP on Intercept, following up releases on HAAi's "Radical New Theory" label and Barnt's label "Schalen".
"Maersk", the name of Ozzy's new EP, features 3 tracks that explore the boundaries of dub, leftfield techno, and breaks. With only the age of 24, his sound is very mature and in our eyes groundbreaking to say the least.
The EP opens with "Aphatoon", a futuristic global bass inspired tune that moves on a slow tempo but doesn't shy away from bringing the heat. The track feels reggaeton inspired, but Ozzy's contrasting melodies bring something fresh to the genre.
"Gaan" is up next, which switches up the tempo and feel of the EP. The breaks and vocal make it sound UK inspired, almost akin to an act like The Prodigy. The combination of an emotional core with a raw, enticing synth is sure to take the emotional kids to the rave.
"Maerts" finishes it off and can be considered a 140+ bpm techno tune. It's an all-round trip meant for the peak of many techno sets. The synthwork moves the track forward in a sort of devilish emotional way, entrancing the listener and bringing them to ecstasy. We couldn't be more proud to have Ozzy on board, make sure to keep an eye open for more work to come.

* Pre-order: https://avacha.bandcamp.com/album/999-hits

Despite the fact that Avacha is based in the northwestern administrative district, actually it is based on the entire surface of the Russian Federation and sometimes beyond its borders. From the Far East to the outskirts of the European part of the map, the geography of Avacha residents is as wide as our country is and the music tastes are wide, specific and heterogeneous like the landscape of the Black Earth Region, the peaks of the Urals or the bottom of Lake Baikal.

On September 19, Avacha releases the “999% HITS” compilation. 8 tracks by domestic and not very domestic producers are designed to show the adequate side of contemporary music from Russia and the surrounding territories. The list of artists easily converts to the line-up of the best outsiders and underdogs festival.

Volta Cab opens the VA with an ethnic banger “Vertical Monopoly”, followed by duo Wolfstream and their Middle Eastern rockabilly track “Doctor Doctor”, then comes Alexei Kryuk's alter ego Bogdan who performs a nine-minute jam-passage “Drunken Swagga”, and Radial Gaze closes the dance question with the merciless "Micky, Licky Or Chicky". Conventional side B begins with a track with the self-explanatory title “It Was A Remix” from Panorama Channel, which will work easily both on the radio and on the dance floor, then Soft Metal calls upon all forces to break the disco with the hit “Humanism”, White Magik with its “Darkness” shows how disco sounds, mating with industrial under euphoretics. The wandering gang, Olta Karawane, ends with the song “Romanian Erotic Tradition”, which encourages all kinds of joy.

999% Hits

PREMIERE: Radial Gaze - Micky, Licky or Chicky (Original Mix)

The pitched rooftops of post-industry, now home to starving artists and the socially-ravenous, boom with opposing force. As the remaining dregs of sunlight draw closed, summer babies are left to fend from themselves, whilst those with a fetish for night display their colours, or lack thereof. Where there was once pockets of socially-distanced warehouse dwellers, clambering for a break from their live-in greenhouses, the now desolate road is lined with deflated pools and an orchards worth of empty Scrumpy Jacks. 

Hailing from Utrecht, the Carista-manned United Identities releases its very first compilation, ‘Modern Intimacy Volume 1’. Across its 10 tracks, the album serves to showcase some of best rising talent across the Netherlands, with an eclectic mix spanning the electronic music spectrum. Our pick, ‘Dribble’ by Mary Lake, is an Acid Techno stomper of apocalyptic proportions. With its jacking rhythms and caustic bassline, the track makes us pray that the dancefloors open up just that little bit sooner.

Modern Intimacy Volume 1

PREMIERE: Mary Lake - Dribble [United Identities]

Everything leant on tonight going well; the whole course of her life as she'd frequently been explaining to anybody who'd listen. Years and years of preparation had gone into the event, and should it be a success, her reputation would skyrocket. If it failed, however, then it would all have been for nothing. But she couldn't let those intrusive thoughts take hold, from here forward positivity and optimism would be her only friends.

Release number 30 on Chloé's Lumière Noire imprint brings together Gomma and Eskimo producer Rodion and Coméme and Huntleys & Palmers alumni Alejandro Paz for Esta Noche, three tracks matching Latinx sounds and new wave influences. Both classicaly trained musicians, the pair struck up a friendship after meeting in Ciudad de México, bonding over a shared love of romantic music and harmony. This led to a partnership in the studio, where they crafted and arranged this collection of dark, hazy and dramatic rhythms, one of which gets the rework treatment on the flip from Slow Motion boss Fabrizio Mammarella.
