The saying “Don't judge a book by its cover” can be also applied to music. Some albums, EPs, and singles have amazing covers, but the music is just… bad – or vice-versa. Many are also the case in which both the artwork and the music are simply sublime – or both, a total train wreck. No, we are not going to mention any examples. You can do this mentally by yourself (just do it, it’s fun). Right now, we’d rather stick with the release premiered here: with a badass design and a stunning selection of seven dark-as-hell cuts, Marinelli's debut EP "Manteca", marks the 60th episode of the Oviedo-based powerhouse Espacio Cielo.

The man of the hour is a Seville-based DJ, producer, and promoter, quite well-known for his work shaking the city's nightlife scene: he organizes various parties and is a resident of the monthly "Electronic Lunch" festival. For his very first output, he teamed up with an AAA+ team of remixers: none other than Rigopolar, Alen Skanner, Lebollet (RASTROLIVE004), and Moo Moonster (SXDNS054/TAKEOVER002) & Parissior (SXDNS206/FREEDL043/TAKEOVER002). 

The track we were solicited to review comes from the creative mind of Alen Skanner, a rising Spanish artist with previous works published on Sharped Records and Ritmo Fatale. For his take on “El Forastero”, Alen did what he does best: infused the original with heavy doses of stamina in the shape of fat basslines and sturdy synth layers. The slight increase in the BPM (from 124 to 127) simply made things fit like a glove. Puro FUEGO!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://espaciocielo.bandcamp.com/

Tiga & Kölsch - Hand In Hand - Faxman [Turbo 222]
Stream & Buy - turborec.lnk.to/HandInHand

Following the fevered reception of their 2018 single “HAL,” the union between main stage lovemaker Kölsch and techno iceman Tiga has returned with “Hand in Hand,” a rapturous exercise in sacral catharsis that many are calling the ultimate set closer. 

Emboldened to use his natural speaking voice for the first time on the title track, Tiga is eager to open up about this sentimental departure from his usual fare: “When it comes down to it, I’m an emotional frogman, When I hear a beating heart, I dive right in heart-first.”

Meanwhile, B-side “Almost Everything” takes the vibe into Kölsch’s signature indescribable euphoric heights. So indescribable in fact that we had to ask BO, Turbo’s proprietary AI and Metadata Scraper, to analyze the track based on tempo, emotional valence, and “fun factor”. His conclusion: “Total banger.” Thanks, BO!

Reflecting on just what he’s achieved here with his Danish friend Kölsch, Tiga is characteristically thoughtful: “Would you rather have a gun in your hand, or a hand in your hand? If you even have to think about the answer, you need to open your heart ASAFP because nothing less than the future of love and music hangs in the balance. It’s entirely up to you."

The release is rounded out by two remixes of “Hand in Hand,” one a bout of peak-time insanity from Irish underground icon Rebuke and the other an immaculate techno odyssey from Montreal hinterground luminary Priori.

Make You Scream (Dixon & Trikk “Tri/xon” Rework)

Out August 25th.
Pre-order: https://lnk.to/FREETHENIP

https://soundcloud.com/jaymiesilk

Jaymie Silk doesn’t make straight up-and-down techno or house music. The Paris-based artist draws from a range of influences informed by his Afro-European heritage, his teen years as a rap producer and a subsequent move to Montreal, where he fell into the city’s ballroom scene. The result is truly idiosyncratic music that’s as richly varied as his path. 
 
Free The Nip is yet another example of the prolific producer’s inability to be pigeonholed. The tracks here all feature speedy, energetic percussion, but adopt different personalities via their unique styles. 
 
On 'Keep Moving', a stately vocal loop, based on a speech from Martin Luther King, is laid over a whomping techno kick and propulsive maraca rhythms on speed. 
 
A hypnotic vocal loop also drives 'Concentrate', with discordant violin synths adding tension to the driving beat, while sax synths deliver surprising funk in the track’s tail end. 
 
The title track sounds something like a Pride anthem, busting out from a glowy subdued synths into a full throttle party track with a rousing, lusty vocal and celebratory percussion.
 
This energy continues on 'Ghetto Tribal Break', loaded with a rumbling breakdown, reverbed Eurodance synths and layer upon layer of boisterous beats. 
 
'Brotherhood' is probably the hardest to categorise of the lot. A funky bassline, tribal percussion, weird FX and distorted vocals converge in the chorus, which sounds like something Prince might have produced on an acid bender. 
 
"After the epidemic of super-fast techno and house tracks dominated by rigid rhythms in recent years, it was time to add some groove to the music,” Silk says of the EP. “It's an ode to freedom, driven by percussive rhythms. A celebration of love and positivism with no taboo.”
 
Freedom is a driving force in Silk’s music, both in its political message, whether subtle or overt, and in his refusal to play by stylistic “rules”. Sous is delighted to present the latest thrilling instalment from a one-of-a-kind talent.

Jaymie Silk - Free The Nip

On the title track Mala dons her disco boots and kicks hard again, leaving her mark with a seismic kick drum, dancing synth and darker chords which together, alongside its hooky vocal, brilliantly blend to become an exciting neon-laced anthem in the making.

Servus everybody!

Why "the hell" didn't anyone think of this before? It was so obvious: When the same music goes the same way, the truth always lies on the turntable.

KOMPAKT presents the long-awaited "two-tracker", cold-pressed and remixed. The Voigt brothers meet Helmut Geier and vice versa, or: Kölsch meets Löwenbräu, because we stand by you, star of the south.

So let's welcome the megahit "W.I.R." by Wassermann from 2000 in a brand new DJ Hell remix, and a remix by Voigt & Voigt of DJ Hell's "Anything Anytime" anthem from 2017.
Two classics that go down like liquid gold. It comes from the heart.

Special thanks to Norman Methner!
