Know You Better (feat. Fabolous and Pusha T)

Speaking Minds return to Aeon with their first EP on the label, after a remarkable appearance as remixers on Dodi Palese’s ‘Black Drop Effects’.

This release starts off with ‘JSB’, a captivating and hypnotic affair enhanced by perfectly crafted delayed synths creeping out of the background. The constant darkness in harmonies and pads takes the listener through a brilliantly thought out progression and leaves them wanting for more after this 9-minute trip ends.

‘Yaoundé’ continues on this melancholic vibe, while bringing forward a more cinematic and even more chilling side from the Italian producers’ music. The main ambient lead develops beautifully, alongside many synth harmonies, and offers a contrast with a pushing drum section. This track is reduced to its essence, with crisp shakers and hi-hats bringing a drive to the intense atmosphere created by numerous harmonic layers.

Closing off this EP, ‘Paradise’ features a drunken melody evolving all through the track; a hook that is celverly completed by a pad halfway through. The arrangement, natural and flowing, makes every element of this trip shine, from the discrete chords in the background to the main synth line.

Speaking Minds have truly spoken with their heart here. This is a collection of masterfully crafted tracks full of melancholy and passion. Prepare to be taken aboard this cinematic trip...

Dave Angel Guest Mix - Transitions 556 with John Digweed (2015-04-24)

Alex Niggemann’s AEON label mirrors the peak time DJs sets that the supremely talented Berliner plays, staying focused on conjuring up the spirit of classic and timeless house and techno, updating it and creating new boundless possibilities for the future.

The teasing, tension-building energy of the super- smooth “Stellar”, bears all the hallmarks of an artist who is at the top of his game. Alex Niggemann is a master of capturing and encompassing elements of darkness, mystery and uplifting melancholic beauty in his subtle and spacious creations. There aren’t enough cutting- edge artists out there who are bold enough to breathe life into their productions with true emotion. “Asterism” steers an equally subtle melancholic path, before morphing into a stunning rollercoaster ride of a track, firing with exuberant, emotive energy and desire. To complete this package, “Asterism” is treated to a remix from the uninhibited perspectives of Belgium’s exceptional rising star and kindred spirit, Locked Groove.

For those people with open minds and open ears, electronic music doesn’t really have borders – blurring the boundaries between house and techno is a given – creativity and experimentation without restrictions and
expectations is what allows artists to make exceptional music that becomes timeless and treasured.

AEON references back to Alex Niggeman’s roots – the music which inspired him to start his career as a DJ and producer – and was created as a platform to release music that stands for quality and originality. Music that fits perfectly into peak-time sets, without being too obvious, without being just functional, with multiple musical dimensions. The “Stellar EP” is the next outstanding instalment.

Alex Niggemann - Stellar

Alex Niggemann’s AEON label mirrors the peak time DJs sets that the supremely talented Berliner plays, staying focused on conjuring up the spirit of classic and timeless house and techno, updating it and creating new boundless possibilities for the future. Since launching the label in 2013 Alex has been gradually building a family of like-minded creative individuals to keep the AEON ethos moving ever forward. The label’s 17th release sees regular artist P. Lopez team up with fellow Paraguayan producer Octavio and deliver a glorious 5-track techno EP, including a stylish remix from the masterful Tobias. (Berghain / Life & Death).

Having already become established in the label’s ever-growing creative family of super-talented producers with his “The Same Beat EP” (AEON006) and “Don’t Trip” (partnered with Octavio) on the “Lost Tapes Vol.1” compilation LP (AEON010), with this new EP, P. Lopez & Octavio raise the bar yet again. The duo stamp their sonic wizardry all over the techno blueprint – darkness to light, melancholic to euphoric – these dynamic tracks explore a multitude of musical emotions. Razor sharp percussive power with layer upon layer of subtle mood defining sounds creates a decadence that only darkness can bring - cipher for restless sexual tension that comes alive the best clubs around the world.

P. Lopez & Octavio’s deft creative skills blend subtlety with energy and gorgeous quirky compositional traits to create a showcase of stellar tracks that complement each other when played in their entirety, and yet stand out as hi-octane individual gems on their own.

When influential electronic mainstay for many years, Tobias Freund, put the full stop behind his first name, he started releasing tracks that refined the live approach to his broad variety of music between Acid, Ambient and Techno to reduced but jacking grooves that displayed as much attention to detail as to floor impact and became an integral part of the defining sounds emanating from Germany since the turn of the millennium. Here, his remix of “Reaktions” is yet another masterclass in his subtle genius, perfectly in tune with AEON’s philosophy.

Aphrohead is back. 22 years since Felix Da Housecat's techno alias released the manic 'In The Dark We Live (Thee Lite)', he returned with his first full-length album in a decade last month, releasing it on Crosstown Rebels. 

'Resurrection', a fitting title for someone who's given this alias a prolonged rest, sees the Chicago producer getting cosmic with the title track and totally hammering with 'Grown Man Cryy'.

Dark prince of electronic music, ​Lee Van Dowski, is the next to make his mark on Crosstown Rebels sub­label Rebellion with his high hitting ​‘Quasar 27.3 EP’.

“Do you remember the song that was playing the night we met? No, but I remember everysong I have heard since you left.” ­ Lee Van Dowski

First up, ‘If Only Jack Was Here’ is dark and powerful, building with intensity for an epic experience. Title track ‘Quasar 27.3’ takes a deeper turn, with spacey synths that rise from the roots and penetrate the atmospherics amidst a captivating vocal hook. ‘Bango Bango’ is all about the percussion, a straight up raw kick and thundering bass is enhanced by random FX as a female vocal sweetly hums the melody. ‘Odds and Sods’ is yet another standout track that follows the same path with prominent percussions and dominant synth melodies, constantly rising with sonic energy.

Aphrohead’s first full-length album, Resurrection, in over decade has recently been released, one of the standout tracks ‘Grown Man Cryy’ sees a single release complete with a superb Carl Craig ‘Brainy Grimlin’ rework.

A heavy Detroit influence can be heard in the Aphrohead classic ‘Grown Man Cryy’, fittingly reworked by the master of the techno scene Carl Craig into a pulsating anthem suspended in time. The original cut (as put into words by DJ Mag) acts to “remind the world of the depths of talent and personality that made Aphrohead such a perennial force previously.”

Aphrohead created a precedent in 90's techno on halcyon labels Bush, Global Cuts, Power Music, Thee Black Label & Radical Fear. His Felix Da Housecat alias went on to form the epicentre of the electro-clash scene and it was through this alias his friendship began with Crosstown Rebels pioneer Damian Lazarus, then at City Rockers. Carl Craig is a key player in Detroit’s techno sound, recently releasing ‘The KMS remixes’ and consistently delivering on his own Planet E label. He began recording at the turn of the 1990's, using a number of aliases to release innovative ambient, techno, breakbeat and future jazz sounds including BFC, Psyche, Paperclip People, 69, Designer Music and Innerzone Orchestra. He is also the co-creator and artistic director for the widely successful Detroit Electronic Music Festival.

We've got the premiere of 'Houdini' and it's a fucking gem. The synths and kicks stab incessantly before claps bring the groove right back. 

It's a track that doesn't sit still and with clever instrumentals being introduced throughout, it's not hard to see why this is a DJ favourite. Check it.

As with AEON 18 Alex Niggemann steps up with another landmark voyage into the realms of me- lodic, deep techno, delivering two tracks with a sound that defines a very popular and relevant style. Divergent is a stirring track with stabbing synths and a breakbeat drum pattern, punctuated by an evocative drop around half way through the track. As is customary on Alex Niggemann AEON releases, the B-Side, Luminance, takes things into deeper territory, with a rolling bassline and a deep percussive groove.
Another fantastic release from the all conquering label, and a one in particular that has been played throughout the whole summer in almost every set by Tale Of Us (e.g. Circoloco), Mind Against (e.g. Boiler Room) and Scuba.
AEON is a home to cutting-edge artists who are bold enough to breathe life into their productions with true emotion. AEON stands for people who walk their own path, who dance just the way they feel, celebrating and being passionate about what they do without following hype, or rules, or trends.

Earlier in the year the Joy Wellboy released their second album and 'Wedding' is another fine example of the wonderfully poppy, instrument-led music that they conjure up.

One of the tracks from the album is called 'The Magic' and it's received a top notch remix package with edits from Phono, Fred P and Maceo Plex  & Shall Ocin. We've got a premiere of the latter's remix and it's arguably the best of the bunch.

Alex Niggemann’s AEON label mirrors the peak time DJs sets that the supremely talented Berliner plays, staying focused on conjuring up the spirit of classic and timeless house and techno, updating it and creating new boundless possibilities for the future. Since launching the label in 2013 Alex has been gradually building a family of like-minded creative individuals to keep the AEON ethos moving ever forward.
This time it’s AEON 19, and yet another melodic milestone in which Niggemann welcomes back Denis Horvat to lead us on a journey into the territory of ambient, driving techno. Achiev- ing two original tracks, and a remix to suite his ever-growing trademark of deep, melodic sounds, Denis again showcases the true quality of what Alex’s label stands for.
‘Apart’ is a dark and eerie track that combines pulsing me- lodic synths with a dissonant array of percussion and FX. The track forever progresses, winding its way upward and downward throughout, with a defining change in atmospher- ics halfway through his electronic industrial fused journey.
Along with the original by Denis, Hyenah gives us his own spin on the dark fused sounds of Niggemann’s imprint.
Whilst following a similar driving, moody groove, he welcomes a fresh element of tribal grooves, along with a lighter array of pads and stabs that gives listeners a whole new approach to that of the original mix.
As with previous releases, it is customary with AEON releas- es, that the B-Side, in this case ‘Cougar’, takes things into deeper territory, with a rolling bass line and a deep percussive groove. Accompanied by sharp white syncopated hats, and a mesmerizing arpreggiated synth, this track certainly main- tains to build on the foundation in which Denis strives to work towards with his style and sound.

Next up on Crosstown Rebels is the hauntingly beautiful release 'Sabor' from the Tel-Aviv based duo Red Axes, with Brazilian-born Abrao on vocals, and featuring a brilliant Isolée remix to boot!

“Give your sounds some room and blades and it will float above the land”. Red Axes

Title track 'Sabor' is an emotive and intricate composition. Spoken in his foreign tongue, there is a soothing and enchanting element to the vocals of Abrao. The variety of instruments and effects could easily have resulted in something disjointed, but all elements flawlessly come together. The instrumental version is complemented by a remix from highly respected Isolée, enhancing its depth and delivering an astute and well-crafted rework that he is famed for.

Red Axes is made up of Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi. Starting off in the band Red Cotton they have spent time living in Amsterdam and touring the world, and are now once again based in Tel Aviv. They have released on Correspondant, Klasse Recordings, Hivern Discs and their debut album ‘Ballad Of The Ice’ was released in 2014 on I'm A Cliché. This year saw them start their very own label Garzen Records. Born in Sao Paulo, Abrao has been creating and producing music for thirty years and can now be found performing live with the Red Axes.

 

Isolée is German-born Rajko Müller and has been creating music for over twenty years. He has released on labels including: Playhouse, Freundinnen, Diynamic Music and most recently Pampa Records. Resident Advisor ranked his 2005 album ‘We Are Monster’ #53 in their Top 100 Albums of the ‘00s.
