Our love affair with Catalonia (all hail Hivern Discs and John Talabot) continues with Sau Poler, the nom de guerre of Barcelona resident Pau Soler. “Bercy” squeezes exotica, layered vocals and otherworldly chord shapes into the proverbial mixer resulting in a bout of hang-loose house. The main track also comes packaged with reworkings by xxxy and Project Mooncircle producer My Panda Shall Fly.

The phrase “needs little introduction” is bandied around all over the shop, this time however it really does fit pretty well. xxxy, (yes, the very same https://soundcloud.com/xxxy who has been defining and refining galvanic house for the last 8 years) has recorded a mix for our series.  Simply put, when this mix landed in our inbox, it propelled us into the stratosphere. 

Keeping with the galactic theme, do you remember when Matthew McConaughey was floating around in the 4th dimension in interstellar? In many ways this mix is very similar: Rather than bending space-time and gravity to create a portal into another world, xxxy has cosmically welded together dance floor grooves and unearthly analog textures into an hour and a bit of utter mastery. Rather than floating around the inside of a Black Hole you’re actually just gliding from tune to tune, incredibly effortlessly and enjoyably - A testament to the man’s pedigree and seamless mixing ability.

If this incredibly specific metaphor is lost on you, the mix is really fucking good so just press play. Also, watch Interstellar.

FH || xxxy

The binary form was not one with which she stereotypically aligned. As she moved fluently beneath the crowd of party goers and distant revellers she began to question the theory of her own rational existence and her place upon this sweet earth. Her gender was irrelevant for she was empowered and fearless, mighty and fierce. The clouds parted and the sunlight radiantly shone through the black, murky shadows. In the glow she began to dance.

Skinnerbox deliver a new EP on Turbo Recordings, a club focussed record with quite a punch. The pair are remixed by Swedish stalwart Axel Boman.

B1 Nima Khak - Reality Surpasses Fiction (Cari Lekebusch RMX)

The title of Rebekah’s next EP says a lot about the British artist’s take on techno. Her My Heart Bleeds Black EP drops soon on Bas Mooy’s MORD imprint, and covers the same kind of gritty, industrial constructs that have come to shape the established talent’s releases and DJ sets.

True to form, this latest set of tracks points to Rebekah’s Birmingham heritage, a city that’s also spawned the likes of one Anthony Childs and House of God. Ahead of her set in Room Two this coming Saturday, Rebekah sent over driving closing cut Opus Devotion for us to share as a premiere.

Weval - Roll Together

A few months in and TAU, the label helmed by Adana Twins, is in the groove. Launched in August 2018, the outlet has given the Hamburg duo a chance to flex their A&R muscles, curating releases that showcase more established artists alongside up and coming talents, while allowing them to fully explore their own tastes.
TAU004 shines a light on Amberoom, a German trio comprised Manuel Tur, Adrian Hoffmann and Ramin Nouyan. The three men produce won- derfully warm, soulful, nourishing compositions which have already court favour with the Innervisions crew - their killer track ‘Kastell’ released on the much-respected ‘Secret Weapons 11’ compilation, and Dixon added his own “Retouch”. Veteran producer isolée steps up for remix duties on this one, too, making this an essential three-tracker.
The EP kicks off with ‘Tulu’ a stirring cut punctuated by a wistful male vocal complemented by a harmonious, yet sombre low end. Delicate twin- kles and emotive strings add depth as the track tugs on your heartstrings. This is a lush, measured composition with excellent programming on its organic-sounding drums and a contemplative atmosphere throughout.
Next up is the title track, ‘Jazire’, which picks up the pace immediately. A contagious 4x4 beat forms the foundation of this rousing number, which builds steadily into a cacophony of tribal-esque effects; shakers reverberating next to mysterious sounds that echo in and out of the back- ground. A melancholy melody gives this track extra emotional density, while the tension builds and subsides intermittently and the beat keeps those hips moving.
Lastly, isolée’s reinterpretation of the title track utilises a more traditional house motif, emphasising the shadowy atmospherics and injecting a more insistent beat. As the 4x4 rhythm pumps along, he adds clicks and skipping toms - pushing the energy levels up a notch. A dark, eerie tone pervades and isolée retains the sorrowful refrain from the original to complement his dour synth riff.
Adana Twins keep the standards high as TAU continues to impress with another exemplary release.

DJ Supermarkt came across Dave Mathmos while scrolling through the neverending world of Soundcloud and immediately fell in love with the unique, exceptional warm, but groovy sound of the Italian . living in Adelaide/Australia - producer. 
Side A "Your Love" is a soulful midtempo disco groover, and it became DJ Supermarkt’s most played and most successful club-track in 2018.
Side B is an even slower Soul-Affair, with a great production and feel.
Now it finally gets its official release that it deserves!
