WPD Staff Picks [Week 46, 2021]

Premieres

Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS190

Dustin Zahn drops ‘Feed The Fire EP’ ahead of full LP in November.

Active since the late 90’s, Dustin Zahn’s hypnotic and driving techno has consistently caught the ears of top DJs and labels, with releases and remixes on Chris Liebing’s CLR, James Ruskin’s Blueprint, and of course Radio Slave’s Rekids. Alongside his productions, Zahn runs the Enemy Records imprint, having released music from Regal, Truncate, and DVS1 alongside his own music since 2004.

For his latest offering on Rekids, which arrives ahead of his first full length album since 2014, Zahn leads the charge with four direct and expertly constructed techno cuts. Title track ‘Feed The Fire’ makes use of a snaking synth line, evolving in tandem with the sound of classic drum machines atop a pounding 4/4 pattern, while ‘Heresy’ leans towards the twilight hours, with tripped out bleeps, chugging percussion, and deep chords.

On the flip, ‘Profane Purposes’ sees bubbling synthesis alongside raucous claps and vocal cuts, making for a high octane techno bomb before ‘Golden Hour’ closes out the release, lowering the energy levels as twinkling keys, blissful pads, and dusty hats craft a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Arriving on Radio Slave’s vital Rekids imprint following 2020’s ‘Freedom of Fear EP’ on Rekids Special Projects, British duo KUSP deliver the captivating ‘Folding’, featuring vocals from Pablo:Rita and remixes from label boss Radio Slave and electronic music luminary Roman Flügel. A deviation from the duo’s upfront techno records, which have been supported by likes of Luke Slater, Regal, Truncate, and more, KUSP have crafted an emotive breakbeat jam featuring vocals from London-based duo Pablo:Rita.

“Folding is something a little bit different from the usual techno records we put out, it’s melodic, uplifting and deviates away from the normal 4/4 beat we’ve been known for in the past. It’s a track we’ve kept under wraps for quite a while now but we’re over the moon to finally unleash it on Rekids. - KUSP

Following the A1 is the ‘After Dark’ mix, which sees the duo head to heavier territories, stripping away the vocals and going for the jugular with crisp, pounding drums under the original’s melodic touch. On the flip, Roman Flügel brings his years of clubland experience to the table, introducing a wonky electro-esque pattern, arpeggiated synth lines, before an ecstatic breakdown takes hold. For the final version, Radio Slave returns to his use of breaks and delicate atmospherics with his evocative, early-rave referencing ‘New Age Of Love’ remix.

Arad, real name Dara Smith, first joined the VOITAX catalogue in June 2020. Back then, the Irish artist served us up with »Radiance Haze« - a 6-track EP, spanning from heavy-hitting breaks to the ethereal ambience, with heavy features of Smith’s vocals. Known for his multidisciplinary vision on music, he has also previously made seminal moves with his work as one half of Lakker, alongside Eomac, dropping groundbreaking music on heavyweight labels such as R&S, Blueprint and Stroboscopic Artefacts.

For his second EP on VOITAX, Smith now returns with five beautifully crafted tracks that he titles »Augmented Fantasy«. While following a similar approach, he does not fail to expand his repertoire of celestial dream-like atmospheres, which he carefully surrounds with a whole variety of vocals, and accurately placed broken drum patterns. In addition to his own singing, Arad also presents two impressive collaboration tracks, in which one of them features the voice of Stine Omar, also widely known as one half the Berlin-based pop duo EASTER. Driving rhythmics and processed, grainy vocals turn this piece into guaranteed hit material. Another collaboration with the befriended vocalist and music producer Nina Hynes serves as a touching closing chapter for this brilliantly produced, eclectic 5-tracker. All pieces are perfectly glued together while keeping their very individual character and soundscapes. The listener is certainly left with an augmented fantasy, as well as a curiosity to hear more to come from the Irish talent. 

Tracklist:

A1 Dream House
A2 State Of Her Boat ft. Stine Omar
A3 Gravedad Nos Dobla

JIN05 enters the winter season with a funky warmth from synthesizer specialist Romain FX. Based in Lyon, raised in Taiwan and Hong Kong, Romain is a true multi-culturist. Growing up only speaking Mandarin in Taipei, then got in touch with keyboard at legendary Shaw Studio in Hong Kong at age of 16. A1 “結合 Jiéhé” ( in English means Combine) and B1 Flagada both showcases Romain’s technical skills on boards and also his playful jam session disco vibe.

Remixes come in 2 opposite forms:On A2 Zurich’s Ozelot Records head honcho Manuel Fischer surprisingly delivers with an experimental approach, turning Jiéhé to a moody, dub funk.  Choppy kicks and woozy atmosphere makes this a late night dance floor favourite cut. Then Telephones finishes up the EP on B2 with a total, 90’s peak time euphoric bomb, transforming “Flagada” into a pumping feel good vibe that is a must get weapon for all house heads and  ravers alike.

🔊 https://youtu.be/9ci1_F94odo

For the debut digital EP on Viscera Transmissions, Komodo spreads his wings and takes his signature low slung psychedelica to the stars, to reap destruction on extraterrestrial dancefloors across the cosmos.

Title track Mirror Claws begins an ember in the desert, slowly stoked by guitar chord stabs and eerie screeches towards a slow yet inevitable psychedelic inferno.

For Night Crawler, the guitar steps back into co-pilot role as the acid bass takes the saddle, spurring the squelch dragon off into the void with a crack of the 303 whip.

Next up is Vanquished Angst with a dubby desert rock workout. Blazing guitar solos tear across the sky like thunderbolts whilst the hypnotic bassline and guitar progression burn through the dunes.

On the flip, Jonny Rock re-dubs the dub with his Vanquished Angst Dragon Remix. No slightly questionable guitar metaphors here, instead, a mind melting whirlpool of spiraling percussion, vocal quips, bass throbs and pads form a completely bonkers but brilliant piece.

Last but certainly not least, Chez de Milo arms Night Crawler with some serious ordnance. After changing up the beat pattern with a breaksy kick, electro warheads are ago, clearing the way for the original 303 line to cruise through. Heavy!

Credits: Thanks to Komodo for the amazing music in support of our new label, Jonny Rock & Chez de Milo for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Kirsty Carrington for the gorgeous illustration and to Jessica Lau for digital design.

CCCVVV is the Brussels based duo of Clara Vellin and soFa elsewhere. The first Covid-lockdown drew these two old friends closer and both a love-story and burst of musical creativity followed.

A wide-eyed electronic record wearing its heart on an innersleeve, Curriculum Vitae chases after no real genre, preferring a very personal colour and style of its own. Music and passion entwined, it has resulted in this collection of intimate avant-pop-oddities. The album collects whispers of 60’s chanson and psyched out chords, holding a playful spirit throughout.

Through the genre-no-genre approach, Curriculum Vitae distills down to a vital essence, constantly flirting with smartly infused elements from the past/present for the head, heart and feet.

Highlights include a dreamy version of Nancy & Lee’s ‘Some Velvet Morning’ alongside the acidic slow-mo hypnotics of ‘Ritmo Denso’. ‘Generationen’ floats on a pillow of sonic bliss, while ‘Alla Porta Subito’s vocal and instrument interplay slinks closer to outer-planetary italo-reggae.

C.V.’s production wanders along a retro-futuristic approach throughout, its punkish attitude dancing between an embrace of the modern and a more naive pop-arrangement approach. Along this 37 minute journey the sweet and dark sides of a lifetime are witnessed, light organic harp marries refreshingly to carefully chosen synthesizers. Whimsical lyrics meet with melancholic composition.

Clara Vellin is a classical harp player active in a variety of eclectic musical projects.soFa, known for his highly acclaimed series of the eclectic "elsewhere" compilations, & productions such as Mameen 3, Nyati Mayi and collab with legendary Turkish drummer Okay Temiz & Houschyar on Music From Memory/Second Circle.

After kicking off Bella Ursa’s season 2 with our Nebula Aranea series, we’re delighted to present the first album of yet another talented individual from our hometown of Strasbourg: Nocto.

Nocto has been on a very intimate journey for years and seems to have evolved in a galaxy of his own. Drifting away from planet Burial to all kinds of pop-infused nebulas, his music radiates a strong cosmic energy to which the Bella Ursa’s mothership felt spontaneously attracted.

Like a skilled woodworker, Nocto meticulously crafts his music using percussive sounds and soundscapes directly borrowed from Mother Nature. In his imaginary world, She has recently regained Her sovereignty over a civilisation blindly guided by technology and over-information. Spectres can still be heard roaming in between concrete walls and the ever -present vegetation…

Is it a dystopia or utopia? We’ll let you decide by going on a trek amongst these 12 tracks of ritualistic patterns guided by the sound of bass music!

Tracklist: 

01 - Nocto - Lithanie Peroxydee
02 - Nocto - FractalRoot
03 - Nocto - Concrete Walls
04 - Nocto - Domndowndawn
05 - Nocto - Petite Piece

Ghostrain

PREMIERE: Nocto - Ghostrain [Bella Ursa]

Sweat dripped down her face and her hair stuck to her forehead, she tried to catch her breath but couldn't find the air. Someone was hot on her tail, she could feel them closing in on her but there wasn't a moment she could look over her shoulder to check, she had to keep up the pace. Her arms felt weak, her legs and body tired but she had to put that out of mind and focus on getting as far away as possible - if she stopped, they'd catch her.

Youth marks the debut EP from British producer Larmour. Lisbon & Amsterdam imprint Karakter have had this one in the works for some time and now it's finally seeing the light of day. Driven by an interest in the relationship between electronic music and art and a mission 'to explore points of convergence and reinterpret his experiences through his unique lens', Larmour blends 80s-inspired synths, powerful rhythms and emotive wavey melodies, and brings on board Luca Draccar and Mindbender to create their own interpretations.

PREMIERE: Larmour - Run [Karakter]

Our next installment is delivered by the London based DJ and producer Farloh.

While drawing influences from his 90’s house heroes and indie disco contemporaries, in the studio, he never compromises to explore new boundaries by utilizing his own vocals and playing with unique song arrangements while exploring sounds across the downtempo stratosphere, from slow kaleidoscopic hypnotic dances to chugger-heavenly club heaters.
