Wallace has been something of a behind the scenes phenomenon. Having just two official releases at the time of writing, alongside a few white-labels on his own ‘Tartan’ imprint - The man known as Wallace has somehow worked his way into the record bags of the worlds biggest DJ’s: Gilles Peterson, Hunee, Moxie, Ruf Dug, Gideon and beyond.

It’s only a matter of time before the wider dance music community catches on - and I wouldn’t be surprised if - by the time this record hits the shelves - WALLACE-MANIA is in full effect. An artist like this only comes along once in a blue moon. Wallace has been quietly perfecting his craft for the last decade, and has a deep understanding of club dynamics that can’t be taught. Bradley Zero himself has been playing 4/5 Wallace tracks per set within the last year alone! Luckily for you, the secret is out, and we, for one - cannot wait!

Wallace - Breaking Up (Snippet)

https://soundcloud.com/thisisicarus moved into this year with a fresh appetite for consistently releasing new music, and a vision for a new body of work. With singles like ‘Last Night Felt Like The Future’, 'Forever', 'Catch Your Breath', 'Dominoes' and 'Draw The Line', we've seen Icarus continue to develop and refine their signature sound, building masses of energy into the launch of their hotly anticipated Album ‘Change’.

https://soundcloud.com/thisisicarus say:

"We sometimes find that placing a loose theme around a project can help us focus and find our path through the creative process. The theme around this Album is 'Change', and all the feelings and emotions that come along with that. The frustrations of a current situation, the anxieties of an uncertain future, all the way through to a gradual clarity that comes with taking time to reflect and becoming confident with who you are and where you are. Almost a process of ordering what was once chaos. The record represents where we've been, where we're at, and where we're going."

Matthias Vogt releases the deluxe version of his 10-track album Ten As One on Anjunadeep’s sister imprint Reflections, featuring 4 new tracks and edits of the original songs.

Matthias Vogt’s production journey is unconventional to say the least. His early influences came from church, jazz band and Frankfurt’s underground, so his music is a sonic melting pot. Over his decades-long career, Vogt has released dozens of albums under various aliases, including Motorcitysoul and [re:jazz], but his eponymous Matthias Vogt project is where his passion for electronic music, club culture and deep listening intertwine.

His first releases as Matthias Vogt were deep house productions on labels like Polytone Recordings, Saw Recordings and Komplex De Deep. His first release on Anjunadeep came out in 2015, a 3-track house EP that treads the line between hopeful and melancholy. His work took a turn in 2022 with the release of his Pianissimo album, which he describes as a political project. He took away the beats, the bass and the breaks and replaced them with slow-moving music accompanied by soundbites from climate change activists.

His Ten As One album was supposed to follow similar themes, but instead it developed into an album of exploration and collaboration. Vogt saw an opportunity to connect with some of his favourite artists, and teamed up with Johanna Klein, Hans Berg and Sato on several tracks. The result is a project that’s both collaborative and introspective, with each track bouncing back and forth between the artists until they landed on the perfect version.

The new version of the album features 4 brand new tracks, aptly named ‘One’ ‘Two’ ‘Three’ and ‘Four’. They are taken from a series of ambient jam sessions Matthias Vogt performed at Cream Studios in Frankfurt earlier this year.

Matthias Vogt - One

Follow Hoshina Anniversary - https://soundcloud.com/hoshina

In Japanese folklore predating written text, “Amanojaku” is the name given to a demon-like creature usually who was thought to be able to provoke a person's darkest desires, instigating them into perpetrating wicked deeds. Also described as a “twisted person” or a being with an extremely contrary nature - someone that if ordered something, would do the opposite. As a way of description this may not be an obvious choice when referring Hoshina Anniversary and his latest release, an introspective album titled “Leave Behind”, but as an artist accustomed to doing the opposite of what is expected, we would argue it be a fitting introduction for an artist consistent for the magnitude and variety of musical output beyond the last decade.

Opening track “What Can We Leave Behind In This World (この世界に何を残せるか)” sets the tone for what is to come. Interlacing layers of detuned keys falling endlessly into the void - a muted twist on the work of synth maestro’s AIR.  Like much of the album, a leap of faith. There are elements of deconstruction and awareness throughout. “Essence (本質)” reporting from the front-lines of personal reflection “Self-will is born from a terrible lack. That's what my experience has told me” echoes around drum tones. But there are lo-fidelity flourishes wherever you look, on “Toukai (東海)”, “Asia” “Obsession (Kyouhaku Kannen 強迫観念)”, “Rine (輪廻)” and “Teinen (諦念)”  clank along like the best of 2017 without ever trying to be as mired in coolness. It's a liberating look at Lo-Fi House.

“Landscape (風景)” is a song described by Hoshina as “About death, and when I wrote about death in relation to the landscape, I felt a sense of selflessness”. Quote the lyrics: “I thought I was obsessed with so many things. I feel myself becoming numb. Our own joys and sorrows seem to have nothing to do with the landscape that is spread out here.” Again the theme of leaving one’s history behind to discover the new self.

Inspired by Steely Dan and Weather Report, “Amanojaku (天邪鬼)” is a song described in Hoshina’s own words “created with a rather strange chord progression”. A song he says is about the crisis in social networking, which is no doubt a location where one finds many a “twisted person”. Quote the lyrics: “If you tell me Yes, Then I’ll tell you No. It's a boring communication. Desire for recognition. You are always right. I’m always wrong”. Words spoken by someone who if ordered to do something, would not be unlikely to do the opposite. But what other choice would you make when finding yourself tied into knots by the endless scroll of social activity. Much like a "twisted person". 

Coming back to the theme of Life & Death (opposites or just different sides of the same coin?), and what is beyond, Hoshina has said if he were to die tomorrow he’d be happy he created this collection of songs, so it’s fitting “Leave Behind” ends with “Alone In A”. In a year we lost the great Japanese musical icon Ryuchi Sakamoto, this tune comes as a soothing balm to your humble narrator. It’s a song I could imagine the great man himself nodding along to. It also generated from a place Hoshina could only get to after abandoning almost all of the Japanese instruments and Watechno elements present in his work over the last 5 years. We resonated with this overall feeling ourselves, having changed what we are as a record label/event/concept over the last 5 years. Not often looking back. But like most things in this mortal coil, we must be prepared to leave behind the things we do and are, moving always towards the new. Sometimes in the most opposite of places.
