Charonne had gone silent for the last year... or so it looked. While not releasing much, the duo was isolated for months in their studio, exploring sounds and refining their craft. During that time, they could reflect on their past 5 years of releasing music, picking off on what they had done and where they wanted to evolve. And, one year later, here it is: Innervoice, Charonne’s first album, right here, right now, on Rakya. 14 tracks printed on 3 x 12’'.

To anyone who have been through isolated lockdown, identical days after identical days, everything concurs to a feeling of out-of-timeness. Time is no longer chronologic, but distorted. Innervoice encapsulates Charonne’s search for their own track of time, making it sound like a time-travel musical machine. Pastel Paradise (B2) is a vibrant hommage to the 80s post-funk era, while Freak Freak (C3) recreate the vibe of a 90s dance hitter. Future Past Present (D2) offers a suspended moment in-between yesterday and tomorrow, before crawling back at high-speed into SpaceCityFunk (E1), which could have very well been the OST of an old school Japanese car race video game.

Is it all about past, then? No, because this would mean forgetting the core of Innervoice: the ambition to compose… with a voice. The dreamy echo of an unknown voice welcomes us with Une Voix inconnue (A1), quickly turning into a rhythmic pattern in Odyssée (A2): “de quoi je me mêle ?”, she says. The voice is guiding us through the album up until it tells us to move in Move Me (Feat. Badbadtati's Cosmic Vox) (C2). Needless to say, the inner voice resonates with another experience of creation in social isolation: being on the edge between sanity and madness, surrounded by unknown voices. Finally, after an emotional ballad in I Lost My Body (F2), the voice asks to Stay Close to Me (F3), dit it understand that we are not meant for social isolation?

We hope you will enjoy listening to Charonne’s inner voice.

Pasquatek 2k14 Horror Liveset Extract

A new face at the Octopus table,Cold Burn has been lurking in the shadows of the techno scene for a while now,waiting for the right moment to unleash his highly polished steel productions.We felt Eduardo De La Calle could do a nice job of interpreting the lead track,and his clean,industrial,powerful and subby version adds a whole new dimension this radical new release.

After having a fantastic 2014, ANNA is back for her first single release on Tronic of 2015. 'Abre Los Ojos' is a jacking housy techno track that includes a juicy analog melody/bassline with plenty of lfo and filter action. As usual for her tracks, crowd reactions are guaranteed! Furthermore, Tronics head honcho Christian Smith delivers a strong remix focusing on the groove and an anthemic break that is reminiscent of Kevin Saundersons earlier E-Damcer releases. We hope you like both versions and play them out loud!

Victor Calderone has stepped up for his first solo release on Drumcode with his two track single, ‘Burden’. Featuring two energetic tracks, ‘Skin’ and ‘Burden’, Victor has used effected vocals to create funky rhythms over the top of some steaming kick drums. The synth stabs lend themselves well across this EP particularly in ‘Burden’ where they really augment the flow of the track. The use of percussion phrases throughout both tracks on the single also reinforces the grooves and adds character to create a distinctive sound that keeps the single fresh and exciting.

For Remain Ltd 72, Axel Karakasis unfolds once more his funkiness to bring you Strange Ways. In a series of utter groovy releases, Axel Karakasis seems unstoppable and is pushing his productions to the absolute limits!

Gripped is a playful composition that reflects the most colourful mood of the Greek producer. Slamming beats aptly combined with a hauntingly cute sample and thunderous hats set the tone for some serious partying.

The title track is dark and fierce and is an explosion of senses throughout. Sensual rhythm and neat samples complete the bigger picture of track, which is based upon well-balanced synths and repetitive keys. The build-up is immaculate and the party goes on…!

After a busy 2015 that’s taken in a debut Essential Mix, prominent remixes and a heavy international touring schedule – including a residency at Jamie Jones’ world-renowned A Planet Called Paradise at DC10 – Patrick Topping is back with his first original EP of the year. Released on Adam Beyer’s Truesoul, ‘Rights’ reinforces Patrick’s already acclaimed production credentials.

Title track ‘Rights’ features a driving beat, a whispering vocal and crescending drums leading into a seriously grooving bassline and distinctive echoing synth patterns.

‘Tool On’ takes the pace up a notch with an aggressive beat underpinning futuristic electronic melodies, while the final track - percussion-led ‘Foxton’ - features skipping hi-hats and a funk-laden bassline for a guaranteed dancefloor groover.

With a US tour and plenty more dates across the UK, Argentina and Australia still to go this year, Patrick Topping is arguably one of the most in-demand upcoming young producers of his genre - don’t miss out on this latest EP.

After recent outings on Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep In Sound imprint and Coyu’s Suara, Adrian Hour returns home to Toolroom with an incredible 2 track EP.

The lead track see’s him step away from his trademark techno roots as he delivers ‘Like This’, which can only be described as a peak-time tech house monster. With relentless energy, quirky vocal hooks and stabs, this really is a special record. He backs this up with ‘Hear What They Hear’ on the B-side that ticks more of an underground box and see’s him lay some dark vocals over a hypnotic and trippy backing track. A triumphant return to the flagship Toolroom label for Adrian Hour and an impressive showcase of his varied musical styles.

CAIRN -- a full length LP in collaboration with electronic producer Keith Sweaty -- a collection of beat driven tracks, analogue synths, acoustic piano and a wealth of vocals and lyrics by Trevor Oswalt a.k.a. East Forest. 

The timing of Cairn coincided with a time of deep personal change for Oswalt as he left a long-term relationship of many years and found himself in unexpected emotional depths. You can hear in the lyrics of Cairn a highly personal and honest dive into the world of loss and individual choice. With the added rhymes by Scarub of Living Legends, trumpet by Brad Lee of The Album Leaf, the analogue synths of Lorna Dune, along with stings by the ‘Bizarre Star Strings’ trio (Band of Horses, My Morning Jacket, Joanna Newsom) as well as Thacher Schmid (Emancipator), Cairn transformed into a grooved out electro-acoustic experience that is as simultaneously booty shaking as it is genuinely introspective -- both a personal and societal call to arms exploring contradictory truths such as destiny, choice, and personal responsibility, all against the backdrop of a civilization undergoing fundamental transition and transformation.

Equatoriality

For every search there are sightings. Behind every sighting there is a story.

An observation is either an activity of a living being, consisting of receiving knowledge of the outside world through the senses, or the recording of data using scientific instruments.

What kind of tools are we using when we observe, and how are we using them? Some tools let us observe at a greater distance, others are specialized at closer observations. Are the instruments infallible in the way they portay the object we are investigating, and how are we interacting with the data made avaliable by the observations we make?

”Through The Looking Glass” examines the relationship between the observer and the tools used for the observation.

Alpha Colony [EP] by @nemovachez

A1. Alpha Colony
A2. New Dawn
B1. Free Diving
B2. Time Trial

For Rakya’s upcoming EP, Nemo Vachez takes you to his newfound Alpha Colony. As the EP goes by, Nemo’s craft gets more and more emotional, patiently moving from the straight-forward power of Alpha Colony to the depths of the B-side. The notion of “deepness” has been slightly overused in the recent times of electronic music, but to be honest, here it rightly belongs.

100% made in Paris.

Moonstruck Zine [EP] by @charonne-music

A1. Glamorama
A2. MakeUrOwnMusic
B1. The Little People
B2. No Discipline

Discogs >> https://www.discogs.com/Charonne-Moonstruck-Zine/release/14212838

One year since Rakya’s Liquor Store, one year since our core members Charonne were secretly crafting their comeback in Rakya’s catalogue with the Moonstruck Zine EP.

This release has many faces, crossing styles and tempo: a starry-eyed collection of sounds. And most importantly, it’s designed for both the mind and the club. 

Glamorama (A1) is a synth-lead stomper, dancefloor killer, as steady and powerful as this genre can get. It has founded its fine balance between a rather dark first impression and the overtaking feel-good energy of the organs. A reference to Bret Easton Ellis’ schizophrenic society: Glamorama. Which makes a perfect transition towards the glistening bomb of the EP, an uplifting house-music anthem where Charonne encourages you to MakeUrOwnMusic (A2) 

B-side, on the other hand, is more intimate. Experimentations in tempos and structures, exploring a dystopian future. The Little People is where Charonne manoeuvre a more ravy side, but always with a sense of melancholy – moving us to the EP’s conclusion, B2, an acidic and mysterious high-speed UFO.

Good news have became the rarest thing. Not much to cheer on or be happy about when you wander around the Internet these days, right ? 
Well, now is the time to enjoy the news again. 

Say hello to our new baby boy : a 6-trackers sexy coming directly from the sharp hands of our mad scientist in chief, mister @antoinehdv. 

It synthesizes everything he has been doing so well in the past few years : complex and well-thought structures, great mastery of its gear and most of all, a very unique approach of the groooove. All across the EP there are many surprises, tweaks and turnarounds – but just as in any good book, it will all makes sense in the end. 

A-Side is sure fire for the future dancefloors to come while B-Side takes thing in a more poetic approach, forming an EP which honestly feels like an album, consistent and with a true sense of narrative.
TL;DR good stuff, enjoy

IDRIS BENA - 'FATA MORGANA' [EP]

A1. Danceteria	
A2. Birds Tale	
B1. Soft Things
B2. Devotion
B3. Now I Float

Fata Morgana originally meant two things. First, a complex and mystical form of mirage that can be seen right above the horizon of the sea. Second, a magical and powerful enchantress from the mythology. Now, it will have a third definition: a stunning EP from @idris-bena.

You’ve known Idris for his delicate breakbeat touch and harmonious house narratives - now is the time to discover his dance music repertoire. A1 ‘Danceteria’ is a statement in that regard, a joyful banger that fulfills perfectly its purpose (make you move) while maintaining finesse and surprise. 

A2 ‘Bird Tales’ pursues that goal further and drives you hypnotically towards B-Side. This is where Fata Morgana reaches its full complexity. B1 ‘Soft Things’ is a hybrid work: mysterious, hardly describable, crafted for dancers yet radiating softness and melancholia. 

No time to rest though, because B2 ‘Devotion’ is right around the corner. A muscular, generous houssy track, aesthetically closer to the 90s, showing how well Idris moves from one era to another. 

Fata Morgana is almost over as you softly dive into a musical bathtub... B3 ‘Now I Float’ - And we let that title have the final word.
