Exclusive: Bawrut & Benjamin Fröhlich - Kirmes

The Permanent Vacation head Benjamin Fröhlich and Ransom Note regular Bawrut joined forces for their upcoming track Kirmes, which is part of AEON's V/A Versus Vol. 1 – an EP consisting out of collaborative tracks only. Shortly before the release of their fair-project the two scene mainstays digitally met up to chat about the (non) changing daily routines, how deeply they've been involved with music lately but also share some insights on what they've struggled with over the time of the pandemic, future approaches to life and music, reflect on the scene in general, how they miss playing in front of people and – a bit – about their track Kirmes. Latter unites the best of both artist's worlds, an intriguing break-esque baseline, pointed chords paired with a whiff of edgy weirdness and spare vocals to add an accentuated different note over a few bars before fully focusing on the track's melodic frame.

Interview

EXCLUSIVE: Bawrut & Benjamin Fröhlich - Kirmes [AEON]

Our first release called Gather EP comes from the multidisciplinary Australian producer & composer Chrysalis who musically reflects his hability to make complex productions look simple, with a bundle of tracks filled with experimentation and personality. Comes with three powerful remixes by fellow friends that share this particular point of view in terms of music: Thomas Von Party, A Tweed & Mi Sun.

PREMIERE⚡️DJ Chrysalis - Gather [Alfa Trigueña]

Already loaded with a heritage that dates back to the early 1990s, Tranquil Elephantizer cues up the last ever Futureboogie single with the cosmically charged ‘Moon City’ EP.  LA’s Warehouse Preservation Society come correct with a remix of the title track.

As stalwarts of the UK & US West-coast scene Tranquil Elephantizer have notched up live & DJ performances across the globe as well as heralded releases for Wicked, Matrix, Definitive, Language and Primal. Now firmly rooted in San Francisco, lead producer DJ Shakra has kept the vibe alive over three decades and still bounces tracks across continents with original members; Alexi Worrall, Crispin J Glover and the Kedros Brothers.  Darius Kedros delivers here on additional production and mixing duties, with relatively new crew member ‘Alcyone’ bringing another level of keyboard & modular synth mastery, elevating proceedings further into the ethereal realms.

Across two mixes of ‘Moon City’, ‘Sugarlump’ and ‘Slow Brew’, transcendental vibes are set, as acid licks and sci-fi kicks are explored amongst the distinctly dubwise beats and heavyweight bass tones.  Ambient house never sounded so relevant as it does now, and the ‘Moon City’ EP drips with this esoteric sound.

Warehouse Preservation Society follow up their Futureboogie released ‘Endlessly’ EP with a stellar remix of ‘Moon City’, as chugging beats, industrious percussion and a toxic brew of kaleidoscopic synths, pianos and 303 bassline bizzness makes for a most heady experience.

French disco and electro house maestro Blazers returns to Skint Records with ‘Traffic Lights’ released on 4 February - the first delicious taster of his forthcoming ‘Live At The Fitness Room’ EP, out the following month. 

Perfectly capturing a balmy 1980’s night drive, surrounded by the city skyline, glistening streetlights, and swaying palm trees, Blazers describes ‘Traffic Lights’ as being “heavily influenced by Hi-NRG songs, Italo-disco and synth wave remixes such as Lifelike’s famous track ‘Heatwave’”. The looping synths and pulsating piano chords shimmer throughout, accompanied by the uplifting female ‘80s vocal sample of Shirley Lites ‘Heat You Up’ (West End), presenting a warm and vibrant feel-good fusion of deep house, disco, and electro. 

Blazers ‘Live At The Fitness Room’ EP will be released on Skint Records on 4 March. 

Blazers, aka Timothée Suillaud, is a Paris-born multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ. Growing up surrounded by music, Blazers quickly focused on production and DJing, getting his first gigs in Parisian bars. He then released several EPs on French local labels, while playing around clubs and festivals. Blazers’ track ‘Side2Side’ caught the attention of British labels, which led him to sign a recording deal with Skint Records. Blazers has since released on GLBDOM, Berlin House Music, and Nymphony Records. ‘Side2Side’ (Skint Records) was released in 2019, supported by Annie Mac, Pete Tong, MistaJam, Ashley Beedle, Sister Bliss, and Claptone, amongst many others.

PREMIERE: Subtraxive — My Flow (Original Mix) [Note Variation]

Tel Aviv's Nenor has released on the most illustrious of imprints like Moodymann's Mahogani Music, Dam Swindle's Heist Recordings, Strictly Rhythm and Defected, with a wide-ranging house sound fusing clever sampling with the sounds of vintage gear and rare synths. He arrives on Burnin Music with a stunning quartet of deep grooves ready for balmy summer daze and nites.

The title track jams along with insistent Rhodes chords and dubby chords and drum fills that give a nod to his time spent living and recording reggae musicians in Jamaica, while 'Side Effect' heads into dreamier territory with its chuggy tempo, '70s film score strings, twinkling electric pianos and guitar glissandos. 'Start It Up' recalls golden age hip-hop with its taut drum break and melancholy key scales and chords, and 'Green Time' finishes off in beguiling style with a hypnotic and darkly-tinged tribal rhythm.

A. Desperate Flamingo

This is the first track to be shown to the outer world by Lithuanian artist and sound engineer Adventure Society who is currently resides in Iceland where he is teaching others music production. 

The club nights consist of a magical peak hour time reserved for the brave and bold. Everyone looks like marinated pickles deeply rooted in the dance, sweating, eyes wide, totally mindless and in the moment, while the speaker system confidently rides that growling beast. This is what tribesmen and nomads where doing since the dawn of the man. Brutal energy fills the space and the sour juice from our root chakras flows into earth grounding our asses for the next Monday. Images of epic landscapes, muscular shape of Konan and the scream of Godzilla comes to the mind when you allow yourself to be absorbed by this one. Don't be fooled, 12-bit crunch will remind you that we indeed live in modern times and... it's time to - JACK IT!

J.U. Ice - It's Just A Groove (Facets Edit)

OUT NOW: http://lnk.to/PH44RMX

Originally written and produced as the centrepiece to his 2014 FabricLive compilation, Erol Alkan’s ‘Sub Conscious' arrives on 12” vinyl and to streaming platforms for the first time, accompanied by two charismatic remixes from Manfredas.

Shimmering and undulating, the original cut of ‘Sub Conscious’ was designed with Fabric’s cavernous main room in mind, taking full advantage of any finely-tuned soundsystem with a patient, rhythmic trip. Remastered here, the track evolves out of hazy darkness towards halcyon euphoria in a uniquely Alkan style.

Resident at Opium Club in Vilnius, cult DJ and producer Manfredas provides two hugely creative and alternative takes on ‘Sub Conscious’. The first works hallucinatory magic with a supple bassline and much of Alkan’s original stretched and repurposed around vampish oscillations and a westward vocal sample.

On the contrary, the ‘Stream Of Consciousness' mix sees Manfredas pitch down and strum the bones of ‘Sub Conscious’, unexpectedly delivering a lovingly lethargic, bottom-heavy jam that’s pure dubside pleasure.
