Name: [VKM007] B2 Sagats - Therapy by Vakum Records
Duration: 2 min

The alarm clock buzzed loudly for the fifth time, as usual the snooze button had been exhausted for as long as she could get away with it. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes, squinting in the morning light that bathed her room. A familiar feeling of dread washed over her; one that didn’t seem to hit her on any other day of the week. The start of the week was always like this - uneventful and unproductive, a time for wallowing and indulging… all in all, just another average Monday.

Helsinki imprint Echocentric and Leipzig’s R.A.N.D. are joining forces for their next release, a dose of rhythmic proggy goodness from Lithuania-based producer Pletnev. Both labels know their onions - between them they’ve put out plenty of dance floor gems over the last few years from the likes of Abdul Raeva, DJ Life, Reflex Blue and Gnork. With And You Never Come Back, it’s more of the same: over four tracks Pletnev serves up squelchy, hypnotic breaks and trance-inspired rhythms, all primed and ready to bless club sound systems the world over.

And You Never Come Back EP (RMECR001)

PREMIERE: Pletnev - Average Monday [Echocentric/R.A.N.D.]

An EP of limbo-inducing squelch courtesy of our good friends Latrec aka Andy Bainbridge and Serious Hots, ft. techno flavoured remixes from Bristolian pal Remotif & our very own Matt Cowell & Johnny Aux as The W.C. Enjoy. 

In the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the intergalactic community gathers for the annual Kutika Limbo finals. 

Reigning champion Latrec draws the first straw and the percussion rolls excitedly as he steps up to the pole. Kutika glides lithely under the bar, tentacles wobbling to the acid rhythm. He celebrates his victory as the crowd chants in a glitchy alien dialect. “Kutika-tika-tika-tika!” 

Second in line, Latrec’s younger brother Dub Mix steps up for his first limbo. Shorter and stockier than his brother, we don’t know what to expect from this one. Once again the percussion rolls, the crowd gasps as his squidgy exoskeleton melts before their eyes, reforming on the other side of the bar - ‘blooooop’. The crowd goes wild “Kut-Kut!” 

Next up is The W.C. Events take a strange turn as they forgo the competition, instead they walk to the stage to sweep the band aside, hijacking control of the instruments. Heavy percussive hits twist spacetime with material melting bass throbs. The crowd goes wild as the fabric of reality collapses around them.  

Last but by no means least is Remotif, a techno unit resembling a giant cluster of biceps stands staring at the limbo pole, chaos erupting around him. The tempo of the percussion rises in anticipation and acid thunder roars in the background. Remotif picks up the bar, blinks, and hurls it off into the furthest reaches of the galaxy never to be seen again. 

Credits: Astronomical thanks to Latrec for the amazing music in support of our new label, Remotif and The W.C. for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Edward Tuckwell for the stunning artwork, Margo Broom for mix consultancy on The W.C. remix and to Jessica Lau for the beautiful graphic design.

CKNOWEP48 | Reflex Blue - Gotham EP

He had the skills, that much was clear. As he walked through the door everybody would look and stare as he meandered slowly through the diner with a kind of swagger not typically associated with your average street cat. He’d worked hard to earn his respect in the street – hustling hard wasn’t easy as the underdog.

However, that didn’t mean that there weren’t some pesky type characters who might never seen him for more than the high tech low life he really was.

As the music played loud he’d wave and smile from time to time at the passers by gazed and glanced at his meticulous demeanour and banging persona.

Remotif is back with a bang. A new EP on space lab roars triumphantly and takes us higher channeling progressive influences from Trance and beyond. This one is quite the trip…

CKNOWEP46 | Jeku - Surreality EP

After making his appearance on fifth Vakum back in 2016, Sagats returns to our label with a full EP release. Cleverly combining vocals, acid and dirty electro rhythms, Italian prodige manages to tell the story through three feet jumpers that share similar resources but each with a different twist. With A1 opener serving as a head-on tour de force of rhythmic games, Blue Screen Of Death is a spewing acid peak timer that wiggles until the end. Flip side takes a dark turn with B1 Therapy, the track that is dominated by relentless 303 sequence with everchanging parameters. Atmosphere is raw, ominous and warmly analogue. B2 is the distance runner of the release with suitable name Venice Marathon. Again Sagats pulls out the best out of 303 on saw mode and although the stamina is constant, the track still delivers some quirky and unexpected pad & fx turns completing it by every stage. 

The release is being stamped in a very limited number and is expected to hit the stories at the end of the summer.
