A: Piano Ist Der Teufel

Professional Youth Club features two contrasting tracks in Piano Ist Der Teufel and Tribal.de. A tender break-beat and gorgeous melodic droplets converge to form the beautiful A side, whilst on the flip the eager drums and rasping percussion are bathed in synth to create another unique number.

As part of their celebratory Kontra-Musik-X remix package - Sebastien Mullaert (a.k.a Minilogue) presents here his remix of Jonsson & Alter’s 'Brevet Hem'. His work is an incandescent and experimental revision that has so far garnered support from the likes of DJ Koze, Midland, Dixon, Ben UFO, Dorisburg and Laurent Garnier and even comes inclusive of a piece of creative spoken poetry.

The ongoing celebration of Kontra-Musik’s 10 years’ anniversary is basically a recognition of the importance of charisma within the predominantly mechanical sphere of electronic music. To quote label boss Ulf Eriksson in a recent Groove interview: “To release on Kontra you need to have developed a unique and personal sound. If you are one of the machines out there producing electronic music for the dead, look elsewhere.”

Immaculately produced and deftly layered as ever - Mullaert’s work is buoyant, alive and capacious in depth. Progress steadily snowballs through gentle chord changes that gather percussive flickers and textural embellishments as together, they head towards a truly unique conclusion that shows the label’s aforementioned core values translated into practice. At the close of remix, Mullaert displays his artistic flair in reciting a poem he’s written himself in Swedish based on the track’s theme and title ‘Brevet Hem’ which translates to ‘Letter Home’, tying together notions of connection over distance.

Falke - O.N.G. - LP - KANN 30 - February 2017

The protagonist of this extended longplayer is the remarkable Falke. He is the unseen hermit of the clan and arrested the labels attention due the things he does best: sitting at home collecting cheap ancient technology and creating his own artistic universe, influenced by his distinct sense for the simplistic beauty in everyday life. After two records and several compilation contributions, we collected ten tracks to introduce his own extensive world properly. The music celebrates a timeless past that stares unbelieving into an expired future. 
Post-socialistic aesthetic detects 90s’ electronica to merge into a careless version of house.

Fresh from outings on Brotherhood Sound System and Bror Records, Genius of Time member Nils Krogh once again dons the Arkajo alias for a third outing on Aniara. He begins with a touch of fluid, late night dancefloor science, where loose hand percussion hits, sampled spoken word vocals and simple, cyclical riffs ride a bouncy groove rich in thickset acid bass. Krogh then delivers something altogether deeper and dreamier - all glassy-eyed chords, echoing vocal samples and unfussy percussion - before stretching a dark, tribal-influenced deep house roller across the entire B-side. While all three tracks are impressive, this is probably our pick of a very good bunch.

Melquíades - Blue Caves 

The latest release on Francis Harris’ Scissor & Thread label out of Brooklyn is another exercise in deep and meditative atmospheres. The label, comprised of a tight knit collective of multi-faceted composers, vocalists and instrumentalists, always strives to develop new projects based on a shared aesthetic, and this five track EP is both boundary pushing and fully synchronized with the label’s approach.

With Melquíades' 'Blue Caves' Melbourne based Composer and Sound Designer Alexander Albrecht presents his solo debut EP following on from the 'Tidal River' album he released as part of the Albrecht La'Brooy duo.

The title track 'Blue Caves' is a skittering, weightless exploration of space, seemingly built around lush field recordings and fragments of melody developing out of the ether.

'Avlemonas' flows from a similar source, but crystallizes around an off kilter rhythm and occasional subby bass, balanced against swooping pads and piano motifs.

'Morning Breeze' seems to revel in the evocative nature of its title, with hand played percussion backing more wistful, emotive piano sketches and wandering bass notes, before the track settles into a hypnotic groove.

Label head Francis Harris provides another take on the track for his Re-form version, a more dancefloor aimed excursion that draws deeply from the classic deep house of the New York and Detroit masters.

Ending the relases is 'Patio', which drifts back towards the ambient territories of the opening tracks, with exquisite, understated instrumentation and a melancholic yet elated vibe.

Alex Albrecht pres. Melquíades - Morning Breeze (Francis Harris Re-Form)

Kıran is the debut release of Rotterdam based DJ and producer Ruben Üvez aka Konduku. Coming from Turkish descent, Konduku’s sound is both deep and trippy. Though in a different way you might expect from a Nous’klaer release - the contagious grooves of Konduku are reached through a polyrhythmic approach. The tracks have a serious elegance, but the fun that went in making them is undeniable.
When I proposed a tracklist for the album, I had no idea Altın and Mavi Saat quite literally meant start and finish (Golden and Blue Hour). The two tracks form the framework of the trip, easing in and out of it with a 4x4 groove. The first one the energising and the latter the cooling down.
In between the opening and closing act Kıran is less straightforward. The polyrhythmic hybrid of Eastern Europe Minimal and UK Bass is a thread throughout. Güneş and Yeşil Ağaç are two of those twisted rhythm tracks. His knack for composing contrasting patterns is something he got from his father, who was a professional Jazz musician from Ankara.
Almost halfway Kızılırmak (Red River) takes the energy level up a notch, claps over claps building up to an intense but unexpected climax crafted by a snappy snaredrum. Kızı fits right in a trippy minimal set, whereas Yağmur probably leans most towards the bass driven UK sound Konduku loves.
The light drums and floating pads on Pembe Alan serve as the cooling down before the Blue Hour kicks in. The name Pembe Alan (Pink Area), and the album in it’s entirety, is a tribute to the area called Cappadocia where Ruben’s family originally comes from.
I hope you’ll enjoy this diverse album as much as we all do. We’ll be releasing more from this young talent in the near future.

Out now!
