The label debut EP from Emorine, 'Pacharán' is a tremendous example of the slower BPM deep house and tech grooves for which the Berlin-based artist is becoming known. 2 outstanding originals are supplemented with a pair of remixes from label-favorite Matt Dwellers and newcomers Ohxalá.

Spanish artist Alex Under marks the progression of his work with the release of second album, ‘La Máquina de Bolas’, released in March 2012 through
Soma Records. The acclaimed producer and CMYK label boss returns a more experienced, complex artist after a seven year album hiatus following 2005’s Trapez LP release, ‘Dispositivos De Mi Granja’.
In this latest release we hear an engaging offering from the Madrid native. There are some signature musical aspects which were also part of AU’s earlier output such as the introduction of an theme early on, which is subsequently manipulated and built upon. The focused concentration on a limited selection of sounds also reflects earlier work. However, much of Máquina subverts the practised minimal style of the mid-00’s showing a desire to create expansive sounds within this stripped-down minimalism.
Alex Under’s collaborations with Soma have given scope for much exploration. The recent remix of Pablo’s ‘Turn the page’ track for the Soma 20 compilation highlights this. The idiosyncratic original seems a difficult remixing prospect with varying tempos between the vocal and sampled tracks in original and remix. The success of the remix serves to reiterate the artist’s mastery of sound, form and style. His attention to detail enables the finished product freedom from any sort of overbearing production.
First track on Máquina, Bola 1, acts as an introduction to the album sound, suggesting the album be taken as a complete whole, rather than disparate individual tracks. The track provides a sparse compositional ‘ramp’ into the subsequent tracks and slowly moves into Bola 2, which, engages samples with subtlety and soothing progression.
The themes and phrases on the album help to maintain the connected nature of the piece as a whole. There are repeated themes throughout various tracks and some self-referencing. The fluidity and balance as a whole is helped by the insightful choice of effects as heard clearly in Bola 5 which wallows in soft liquid synths.
The sound gets deeper throughout the album but the balance is well maintained and some clever tools for offering an almost tactile sound are invoked by AU as he brings in the rising bass tabla drum tones to merge with some lower beats and bass, bringing the impact of the bass up in the mix whilst never losing focus of the complex dynamics of the whole work.
The highlight of the album is waiting right at the end with Bola 7 hitting a bass heavy and forceful sound, the perfect way to tie together all elements of the album up to this point. The rhythm sits perfectly at the end of the project, which feels completed.
La Máquina de Bolas certainly conveys a new direction for Alex Under with his aesthetic obsessions and meticulous production holding him in good stead. This new material broadens expectation for the producer and the range of sound doesn’t unnecessarily complicate. This affecting second album signposts the next period in AU’s trajectory.

After two outstanding releases on Wonderwheel Recordings (2018’s “5 Star Motel” LP, and 2019’s “Saint Claude Dash / Chicha Nola” 7”), Gitkin is back with a new EP, along with two remixes from Pimps Of Joytime. “De La” - which features NYC-based singer Carol C - was inspired by the Saharan Tuareg sound, while also embracing Carl C’s Afro-Dominican roots with a beautiful melody and Spanish lyrics. 

The second track, “Canción De Aplauso,” fuses classic joyful cumbia with 70s Afrobeat, Cuban tumbao, and a bit of middle eastern flavour for good measure. The electric Guild twelve-string guitar sound is reminiscent of Turkish Saz, eliciting a festive vibe that gets the crowd grooving in live sets. 

Both songs see remixes by the Pimps of Joytime, with “De La” delving further into the trance sound. “Canción De Aplauso” gets a gogo retouch, inspired by Washington DC’s Chuck Brown, with the addition of some 70’s style funk slap bass. 

“De La Canción” EP will be released on Wonderwheel Recordings March 13th.
