Lucas Croon: Schlachthof Aufnahmen

Part of Stabil Elite, The Kloom and half of BAR duo, Lucas Croon has practiced his talents quite a bit before finally engaging for a solo release on Düsseldorf’s premium platform Themes For Great Cities. Schlachthof Aufnahmen rubber stamps Croon’s versatility whilst showing a special knack for morphing complex instrumental buildups into beguiling ear candies.

DJ bwin

With their debut split about to drop via First Second Label, the timing felt ideal to invite Leipzig-via-Hamburg duo DJ bwin over for a little mixing session. The result defies gravity with its intense mashup of old school hip-hop, convulsive breakbeat, hi-NRG house and screwed electronics.

X.I: Last Waves

Imagine Giorgio Moroder boarding KITT, the face stroken through by thick black sunglasses, moustache gleaming and synth blazing as the red-hot sun sinks beyond the horizon. Aussie producer X.I lands on Mind Records with an EP that just as convincingly explicits his ability at melding a serious art of the groove and a superior sense for well-built atmospherics.

Boliden: Surfaces

Chances are that the new album “Surfaces” by Barcelona based producer Boliden will be one of the most beautiful albums released this year. More importantly than that though, it is an album which gets deeper with each listen, placing it well outside any simple genre or vibe categorisation.

Ryota OPP reimagines ‘Pale Lux’ as Haiku

Following his debut release on Meda Fury in 2015, Tokyo-based producer Ryota OPP returns with his debut full-length ‘Pale Lux’. We caught up with Ryota for a quick-fire chat as he selected some personal pictures and transformed each track from the album into haiku to better capture the mood and essence of his compositions.

Throwing Snow: Embers

In a world where the average person gives a track seven seconds for a hook to manifest, make sure time is set aside before deciding to experience ‘Embers’. An album in the truest sense of the word, it flourishes when play is pressed on track one and silence only resumes after the suite of fourteen reaches its end.
