Roy RosenfelD & Guy Mantzur – Epika

Cajmere - Percolator (Jamie Jones Vault Remix)

French imprint A-Traction Records returns with a new EP from Martial Thebault aka Marst late June, featuring three original compositions and two remixes from Moteka. 

Here we see Marst return showcasing his melodious, deep techno style which has seen heavy support from French electronic music pioneer Laurent Garnier since his humble beginnings. 

Up first is title track our Debut Transmission today ‘Nanga’ which sees Marst blend square wave arpeggios and an amalgamation of delayed staccato synth stabs with weighty rhythms and sporadic organic percussive rolls. The ‘Vocal Mix’ of ‘Future’ follows and embraces a deeper aesthetic via elongated sub drones, stuttering bass hits and snaking resonant lead hook, whilst psychedelic vocal murmurs further fuel its heady vibe.

Fellow Frenchman Moteka then turns in his first interpretation next with ‘Remix 21’ taking a more robust approach with pounding drums, murky atmospheric sweeps and vacillating synth chimes which ebb and flow throughout the groove. The ‘Instrumental’ of the original follows stripping back the vibe to it’s raw melodic state before Moteka’s ‘Remix 13’ closes with on a more dubbed out feel with expansive echoes, broken rhythms and low-pitched vocal chops.

Marst’s ‘Nanga’ EP is out on A-Traction Records 24th June 2016.

Masterworks A&R mastery continues on their third release as The Silver Rider follows in the footsteps of Closed Paradise and Ooft, rocking us properly with two sweet sample tracks. Operating out of his Texas stronghold, The Silver Rider has done damage for Smokecloud, Street Edits and Special Edition, and this bad boy is as good as any of those wax classics. A-side offering "Another Day" is all about the dancefloor, locking a hyper-looped boogie groove into a hypnotic house rhythm to keep the club at a sulty simmer. Occasional vocal snippets and blasts of squelching bass pull your attention this way and that, before the track opens out wonderfully with a Prelude style synth riff. All good. The B-side belongs to the beach bars, deck chairs and BBQs - savouring the summer all year long as the name suggests. That's right, "Eazy Breezy" is a sunkissed collage of nimble guitar riffs, chirping vocal samples and swooning synth bizznizz, all set to a buttery groove. With a beautiful soul vocal making a stunning second half appearance, this is more or less the perfect summer jam, so keep it in mind for the coming months.

B1. The Silver Rider - Eazy Breezy - The Masters Series 03

Drumcode returns with its 6th installment of the internationally celebrated A-Sides series. Renowned for fostering a shared space between industry tastemakers and rising talent alike, the careful curation that goes into each volume is a fine example of why Beyer’s brand continues to go from strength to strength.

Techno titan Adam Beyer has grown Drumcode into a force to be reckoned with; the label has become synonymous with forward-thinking, functional techno and even after 20 years, Drumcode continues to find new boundaries to push, and ways to solidify its legacy as the world’s number one techno label. 

2017 is no exception, with Beyer’s imprint hosting it’s first stage at Tomorrowland, not to mention the expansion of the critically acclaimed Junction 2 where the Drumcode stage is the centrepiece and Adam plays the key role of festival director. The Drumcode phenomenon continues to grow each week, chiefly fuelled by Drumcode Radio, Adam’s radio show that’s broadcast in 57 countries via 86 stations and to a global audience of 16 million techno fans per week. 

The A-Sides series acts as a perfect vignette of Drumcode’s cutting-edge sound; functional yet inspired techno, all tracks tried and tested by Beyer himself. Vol. 6 continues this tradition with a collection of 16 multi-faceted cuts from a mixture of both emerging artists and experienced label friends. 

The heart-throbbing bass in Amelie Lens’ electrifying piece ‘In Silence’ sets the tone for the dark and dance-floor-ready energy that Vol.6 carries the whole way through. Other standouts include Mars Bill’s rough’n’ready ‘Mohave’. Pulsating and precise, ‘Mohave’ has highlighted many of Beyer’s sets recently as has Wehbba’s monster track ‘Fake’, which fans have been anticipating the release of all year. 

Label-favourites Dense & Pika also feature on ‘A-Sides’ Vol. 6 with their hard-hitting ‘Just a Beat’ and a huge track from Beyer himself who has joined forces with Enrico Sangiuliano to bring us their undeniably infectious ‘Preset Heaven’. 

With many more notable selections from the likes of Julian Jewell, Timmo, Tiger Stripes and Pig&Dan, A-Sides Vol. 6 is another impressive addition to the label’s prolific release roster and a testament to why Drumcode remains at the forefront of the electronic world.

Amelie Lens - In Silence - Drumcode - DC178

"Closer goes first and is seven spooky minutes of spacious, acid-laced techno. Distant pads bring a cosmic feel and intimate spoken words make the whole thing feel personal yet unsettling as rubbery drums roll on below. Nothing pairs pulsating acid daubs with vocals drenched in reverb as slick drums drive things along. It’s a masterfully sparse yet engaging track that will cast its spell on all who hear it. Lastly, Motion is another absorbing track with deep drums and meandering pads sucking you into a cavernous sound world where alien motifs and acid gurgles work your mind as much as your feet.”

Charlotte de Witte continues to establish herself as a driving force on the contemporary techno scene with The Healer, her second EP on seminal British imprint Novamute. 

The four tracker comes after the Belgian has fully broken through with a dark, dense and driving sound that is proudly unrelenting. Her meteoric rise has come off the back of a series of huge productions, plus standout sets at key festivals and clubs all around the world. 

Charlotte’s fresh and innovative sound is immediately laid bare on opener ‘The Healer’, with eight minutes of spine-tingling, hypnotic techno. The sleek drums and icy hi-hats soon cast their spell, as well-crafted synths unfold up top to bring real emotion. ‘Silence’ is another slice of tunnel vision techno with perfectly designed drums rolling on and synths peeling off the groove. It’s trance inducing and otherworldly, with eerie voices adding to the all-consuming atmosphere. 

Then comes ‘Kuda’, a track built on monstrous kicks that hit hard and drive forward with real force. Filtered vocals bring character, and sharp edged percussion grows ever louder to take the track, and the club, to the next level. Last of all, ‘Song Of The Wood Nymphs’ shows another side to the producer with three minutes of suspensory synths and expansive ambient sounds that are filled with drama and tension.

WeAreTheBrave.lnk.to/Dominator

After appearing for the first time earlier this year on We Are The Brave’s very first compilation with their track ‘Resistance’, Liverpudlian’s KUSP are both accomplished artists in their own right. KUSP began as an experiment between two old friends rediscovering their love for dance music. Since mid 2018, KUSP have exploded onto the scene with releases on Sonusfield, Octopus and most recently We Are The Brave.

Already seeing plays on national radio and support slots with Amelie Lens, Dave Clarke and more, it’s fair to say we are just on the ‘KUSP’ of their potential!   Their first full EP on the label opens with title track, ‘Dominator’ - overdriven 909s meet sparse percussion and melodic undertones leading to a cheeky 90s vocal sample and complete dancefloor carnage. 

The slower, deeper ‘Be Free’ rumbles with menace before exploding into life. Strong melodics again take the lead in the main break. ‘Diss’ ups the pace and dystopian feel with a devilishly groovy machine funk that nods heavily to the 90s with class. Finally, ‘Bodied’ rips from the stalls with huge drums and sparse percussive elements are perfect for those late-night sweaty stomp-a-thons.
