Martin Eyerer - The Cake (Pan-Pot Remix)



After Martin Eyerer's move to Berlin, touring the world as usual and the construction of his Riverside Studios with the residents and partners Booka Shade, Pan-Pot, Tobi Neumann, Santé, Stephan Hinz, Jade Souaid etc, he's back with his first Kling Klong release in 2013.
And obviously Berlin is pure inspiration for the Kling Klong founder as well, just listen to his 'Cake'.

Dusty Kid - III

Album of the Week #006





"III" Dusty Kid's third album is a cinematic experience of almost 2 hours listening conceived as a single piece of music, like a wall of bricks that strictly belong to each other to give the whole album a well defined story.The album, mixed by using few different vintage consoles and recording everything on a reel-to-reel tape in order to get a more alive and lofi result, moves towards a very underground feeling. There are no easy-listening melodies (don't expect in fact any "America" or "Lynchesque", any "Kore" or "Chentu Mizas") but it rather sounds like a saga of dirty, confused, delirious, sometimes bizzare and ridiculous, very dark techno moments. "III" might remind of a noir-horror-fantasy movie to watch with eyes closed and where the listener is the main character who can play like in a 'shoot-em-up game made of many levels. The sinister calm of the opening, made of the leftfield acid ambient landscapes and industrial noises of the first 4 tracks, preannounces that something is going to happen and leads the listener into a further level of the game where entrance is initially restrained by a man at the door "He Won't Let You In". Once got through listener is taken onto a further level and enters the "Leather Bears Cinematic Suite".The 5-tracks "suite" is a deep journey into the 90's techno with its first track "Doom" being an almost metallurgical hell as the listener climbs the stairs that will lead him into the main scene. From now on what the listener will see is just what he would expect to see there...the title of the "suite" says it all! "Pandemonium" and "Dark Room" really seem to drive the listener inside a wonderfully painted idea of what's going on in there. As the listener takes the "Exit 12", that with its lofi and dark mix perfectly describes the feeling after a night spent in the "suite" and echoes of "Flashback" from the previous night still echoing in his confused and distorted mind, the journey goes even more deeply into the 90's techno. "Yota Wave" is in fact a skillfully grotesque recreation of a futuristic techno trance experimentalism of the early Plus-8 records. Level after level listener goes on in the game and while "In The Wood" sounds like a track recorded from the radio with a poor quality cassette, the triad "Prelude"-"Omega Y" and "Omega X" just seems to be a track coming out from another track which comes from another track like in a concentric way."Escape" follows in the same key as the previous triad with a flying ethereal athmosphere followed by a massive tribal anthem as "Idklip" explodes while the listener approaches the final level of the game."Ending", a simple pronounced piano note that lays on a tender carpet of soffused strings and far reverbs leads the listener to the light at the end of this journey.

Dusky - Careless

Techhouse Tuesday #006

1. Careless [Full Stream]



As Dusky, the British duo of Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman have asserted their position amongst the top producers working in electronic music right now after releases on Anjunadeep, Naked Naked, Aus, and its sister label Simple. Their Careless EP on Will Saul's Aus imprint has a relaxed flair, melding a diverse range of classic house, techno and garage influences with a wholly modern energy here, marking yet another step forward in their technique and approach.

The track 'Careless' is crackling and expansive with just the right amount of dance floor-centric coloration, detailing a more roughed up and rugged example of Dusky's deft ability to rethink and reshape their sound for the modern club context.

Niccolo Bianchi - Turdus Merula

Melodic Monday #006





Shabu regular Niccolò Bianchi comes back with Turdus Merula which sounds like a rave party that you discover in the middle of a jungle. At first, it has that dark mysterious feel to it but when it unfolds into its real form, you clearly understand every second of it and you just can't help yourself but to see where it goes next.
