As part of their celebratory Kontra-Musik-X remix package - Sebastien Mullaert (a.k.a Minilogue) presents here his remix of Jonsson & Alter’s 'Brevet Hem'. His work is an incandescent and experimental revision that has so far garnered support from the likes of DJ Koze, Midland, Dixon, Ben UFO, Dorisburg and Laurent Garnier and even comes inclusive of a piece of creative spoken poetry.

The ongoing celebration of Kontra-Musik’s 10 years’ anniversary is basically a recognition of the importance of charisma within the predominantly mechanical sphere of electronic music. To quote label boss Ulf Eriksson in a recent Groove interview: “To release on Kontra you need to have developed a unique and personal sound. If you are one of the machines out there producing electronic music for the dead, look elsewhere.”

Immaculately produced and deftly layered as ever - Mullaert’s work is buoyant, alive and capacious in depth. Progress steadily snowballs through gentle chord changes that gather percussive flickers and textural embellishments as together, they head towards a truly unique conclusion that shows the label’s aforementioned core values translated into practice. At the close of remix, Mullaert displays his artistic flair in reciting a poem he’s written himself in Swedish based on the track’s theme and title ‘Brevet Hem’ which translates to ‘Letter Home’, tying together notions of connection over distance.

Victor Ruiz is one of the hottest names in underground electronic music right now, and this release on Oliver Huntemann’s always-reliable Senso imprint gives a pretty clear reason why. The Brazilian DJ and producer has been popping up all over the world in the last few years, and his string of amazing releases on labels such as Electric Ball- room and Sudbeat have cemented his reputation.
'Nevermind' - is Victor Ruiz doing what he does best - exploring track dynamics within a perfectly developed journey - including an unsettling and trippy vocal that lifts the track even further towards the stars. Label boss Oliver Huntemann stops by to provide the remix - stipping the track down to his signature sound - deep and streamlined, yet full of emotion.

// iTunes: apple.co/2m4eG4Y
// Spotify: spoti.fi/2nr1DLx

Artist: Hidden Empire @hiddenempire, Boy Next Door @boy-next-door
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No: SVT187
Release: 2017-03-10

In the DJ booth Hidden Empire and Boy Next Door all bring their immersive sets, packing up heat and energy on the dancefloor. The same can be said for their productions, which are industrious club catalysts, as they show in their latest joint release consisting of a power-heavy four tracker. Hidden Empire kicks off affairs with Lost in Time, a resounding deep tech incursion centered around a throbbing bassline and swift percussive arrangements. The groove carves out space through alternating buzzing synths and a hellish vocal, creating an acid-tinged dungeon-like atmosphere. This seems to set the tone for the entire release, as Get Lost brings to a focus an equally murky ambiance, filled with voluminous elements and heavy synth pads. An ominous vocal enhances the overall gloomy mood adding suspense, while arpeggiated chords bring in a contrasting slice of warmth and light. Boy Next Door’s first offering comes in the form of Dael, a gradually unfolding marathon of a piece, dotted by zig-zagging synths on a backdrop of a fidgety, nervous bassline. The track evolves into a stripped down wavy synth cut, suitable for shifting up gears. Koba shows off BND’s systematic treatment of bangers featuring a tense bassline and anxious percussion. Using pounding drums and a dramatic rise, it eases into a cinematic construction with ample build ups and relentless loops. All in all, a set of intense dancefloor tools fit for late-night antics as well as transitioning swiftly into the after hours.

➟ Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/release/anything-else/2019778

Am 24. Mai 2017 kommt die zweite Katalognummer des noch jungen Labels @niewiederschlafen raus. Schöpfer von „Anything Else“ ist @himbrecht, ein rumänischer Produzent. „Die EP hat ihren Ursprung daher, als ich vor einiger Zeit jemanden gedatet habe“, erklärt der Musiker, „mein Herz und Verstand waren dann die Ideengeber für den Track „Anything Else“.“ Er könne nicht wirklich erklären, wie der Schaffungsprozess dann von statten ging: „Alles geschah auf einem sehr natürlichen Weg. Die gedatete Frau ist immer noch glücklich, und wir heiraten auch bald!“ (...) Also kam es nun zum Release, der von zwei Remixen unterstützt wird. Astrea Perpetua sowie @samgoku und @quatrimusic kreierten die Versionen. (...)

With recent releases for some of the scene’s leading labels, Fideles (aka Daniele Aprile and Mario Roberti) are an Italian duo on the rise. Their spellbinding ‘Impressum’ EP is both a fine example of the Fideles sound and exactly in keeping with the direction Tale Of Us are steering their Afterlife label. Inspired by the Ionian sea in Southern Italy, low-pitched basslines and soaring synths give the tracks just the right amount of drama, whilst the rich sound-design allows them to make the most of a big system; something Tale Of Us have put to great use in their sets this year. Take the emotionally-charged title track, the rolling, mechanical drums of ‘Kalotypse’ or the more restrained ‘Hadar’. Across all five tracks Fideles’ character shines through the adventurous melodies and distinctive touch, creating an inspiring next episode of the Afterlife catalogue.

Fideles - Impressum

DJ Koze exists both above and beyond club culture as we know it – his albums and remixes flying free from genre and trend – and symbiotically woven into its heart. Yes, he always abstracts and weirds out the principles of house, techno, hip hop, pop, psychedelia, exotica and so forth, but he does that because he understands them. And when it comes to club-demolishing tracks, he understands those principles as well as just about anybody on earth.

Thus he could create an enduring club tune like 2015's “XTC” that is strange, contemplative, even disturbing, bore little relation to anything around at the time, yet still got bodies moving and sweating better than way more obvious techno bangers. And thus the knock knock album, which melts a million genres and none into one another, can comfortably include “Seeing Aliens”.

“Seeing Aliens” unquestionably is a banger, its bass riff snaking around your body like a python, its high-drama strings, pianos and outbursts of noise designed for maximum crowd pressure release. But, again, it sounds like nothing else, and its dynamics and twists unfold over eight and a half minutes in ways that will mess with your head every time no matter how many times you hear it.

The exclusive b-side track, “Nein König Nein” (“No King No”!), meanwhile, is slightly gentler on the face of it: it's less about sonic pressure, more about hip-shaking syncopation. But it too tells strange fairytales in its peculiar and brain-tweaking accumulation of detail, and though you'll hear archetypal sounds from the heart of house and disco in it, every last one of them becomes new and otherworldly.

Exhumed Tapes II is the second in a multi-artist series of cassette releases on the Modern Cathedrals label. With label art featuring small details of "important graves," the series will dig into eery, broken beat techno with gritty textures. 

The second tape features four tracks by Detroit-based artist Uun, whose work on the EP builds from careful and subdued atmospheres to aggressive percussion-driven tracks. In keeping with the themes of the series, the label art once again features the grave of an author chosen by the artist. 

It will be limited to 50 hand-numbered physical copies.

'Plaintive synth tribute to composer Peter Broderick by the German pianist is given an elegant electronic overhaul' – The Times

After releasing Nils Frahm’s two-track solo synthesiser EP ‘Juno’ in a highly sought after 7” edition, Erased Tapes now re-release the original Juno tracks with guest reworks by Border Community's modular synth wizard Luke Abbott and Warp veteran Clark. Both known for their like-minded use of analogue synthesisers in their music, it makes them the perfect artists to rework the originals. Similar to Frahm’s online project ‘Screws Reworked’, where he invited fans to download his solo piano songs to reinterpret them with their own medium of choice, it’s far from being the typical remix EP. Aptly titled ‘Juno Reworked’, it will be released worldwide in the form of a limited 12" Vinyl and Download.
