Premiere: G-23 + Rivet – Loose Dogs Brexperiment
G-23’s label art-aud resurface with the second instalment to their praised Secret Rave series. Stream G-23 + Rivet’s ‘Loose Dogs Brexperiment’ – a sanctioned rave-invoker, throbbing to the iterative attacks of rewinding snares, sliced-and-diced vox hooks and three-note bleeping drips. Massive.
Download: Sage – Think About Me
Today we’re glad to offer Dublin producer Sage’s Chicago-scented track ‘Think About Me’ for free download. A six-minute long slab vibing to soulful, heartwarming vocals as a versicolor chaplet of filtered synth loops and shuffling drums wrap yourself in. Vibrant summer flavours all the way.
Premiere: Nebulo – Rules
Following on from the first episode of his ‘Safari Suites’ released last year via Parisian label Odd Frequencies, Nebulo steps up with the second volume of his heavy-battered jungle trek on the boundary-pushing Seagrave, bursting the frontiers between brain music and intuitive body language through eight cuts of dense, archaic techno outbursts.
Premiere: Foans – Heavy Traffic
Los Angeles label 100% Silk travels to the steep canyons and uneven reliefs of the Colorado region with Foans, a young producer who first emerged last year with the promising ‘Schema’. Stream the vibey, pleasure-seeking ‘Heavy Traffic’ within.
Premiere: Sad City – Smoke
Gary Caruth’s debut solo album as Sad City, released on July 29th via Emotional Response and Meda Fury, makes for a particularly enticing journey into the producer’s elegiac post-urban universe, allowing his supple blends of ambient and breathable electronica to fully develop. Stream the brightly-hued ‘Smoke’ within.
Premiere: Javi Redondo – Narcotic Luv
Back on Jennifer Cardini’s label with ‘Hammocks Go West’, a three-track cosmic epic giving full vent to an infectious solution of quirky disco grooves, raucous technoid modulations and straight up funky staccato riffs, Redondo demonstrates the extent of his production skills with an ever-bold take on club functionality. Stream the italo-inflected ‘Narcotic Luv’ within.
Premiere: Christian S – Under The River
Christian S’ second solo instalment for the equally club-focused and digression-friendly Cómeme finds him delving deep in trompe-l’oeil techno grooves, afrofuturistic rhythms and further minimal architectures. Stream late night groover ‘Under The River’ in full within.
Premiere: TRP – Tragic Ending
Following up to an impressive breakthrough EP for Lobster Theremin released earlier this year, German producer TRP – real name David Willenberger, steps up on Bristol-based label Shall Not Fade with a top-notch followup. Stream the wistful ‘Tragic Ending’ within.
Premiere: Baleine 3000 – Fried Oyster
With already a pair of records as Baleine 3000 under their belt, both released via Cologne-based imprint Sonig, Le Doux, Afrojaws and Kamoda make a remarkable return via Brussels ever-vanguard Vlek. Stream the Yardbirds-friendly, Hosono-House’esque ‘Fried Oyster’ within.
Premiere: Distorted Portrait – Dirty & Smutty (Imre Kiss Rework)
After two VA’s released exclusively on digital, ‘The Best of Paperwork Vol.1 and 2′, Italian label Raw Paper Records step up with their debut solo twelve, courtesy of founding duo Distorted Portrait. Stream Imre Kiss’ mesmeric dub rework within.
Premiere: Akasha System – Vague Response
‘Vague Response’, due out early next month via 100% Silk, makes for Akasha System’s proper introduction to a wider audience. Deploying six cuts of smooth coastal house with a gleaming audio patina, the EP sounds like it’s put the sun in a bottle. Stream the title-track within.
Premiere: Liquid City Motors – Untitled 2
Hailing from Milwaukee, cutting-edge club focused label Close Up Of The Serene make their return with the second delivery from local producer Liquid City Motors, a three-tracker veering off on much more of a UK sound tangent. Stream ‘Untitled 2’ in full within.
Premiere: Tom Trago & Pisetzky – Perù
Milan-based collective and label Just This come up with their second instalment of the year, ‘Broken Promises’, a three-track VA collating contributions from Tom Trago and Pisetzky, Eduardo De La Calle and Kelpe. Stream the enthralling ‘Perù’ within.
Premiere: Pjoni – VVR Asylum
Exploring the fringes of listening ease and audio curves, Pjoni’s ‘Liminal Zones’ dares going in places few want to investigate nowadays. Don’t expect a proper rhythm, no groove, no mellifluous harmony. Stream the arrythmic ‘VVR Asylum’ in full within.
Premiere: Amato – The Labyrinth
After contributing his first track as Amato via Cititrax on the ‘Tracks Volume 1’ compilation last year, the Frenchman returns on Veronica Vasicka’s imprint with a new-wave and EBM-infused debut solo EP, ‘Le Désordre Et La Nuit’. Stream the steroids-boosted ‘The Labyrinth’ in full now.
