Stanny Abram – OK

$
0
0

Stanny Abram OK Marba RecordsAnother single-track release here, this one coming from the ever-prolific Stanny Abram on his own Marba Records.

As is par for the course with Stanny, struttin’ tech-house is the order of the day here, but thanks to its sinuous, funk-fuelled bassline, understated 4/4s and insistent shakers, OK is a deeper, housier groove than much of his output. And as such, it complements the very familiar, old skool vocal sample down to the ground… I won’t say what that sample is though, partly cos I don’t want to get anyone in trouble and partly because the original source escapes me right now.

It’s guaranteed floor-moving stuff, though, so check it for yourself and find out!

Out: This week

About: You can find Marba Records on Soundcloud and Facebook.

BYDEEP – Wrong

$

BYDEEP Wrong Deepest MusicSome nice chunky house grooves on this single-tracker from fledgling Argentinean label Deepest Music.

At Wrong‘s heart is a throbbing, sleazy bass groove that’s underpinned by crisp house beats and that, without needing to get all up in your face about it, conveys an air of vague menace – an air which is only added to by the disembodied, heavily reverbed fem vox that drift in and out of the mix, while stuttered synth stabs serve to further heighten the tension.

Overall, this is best summed up by the phrase “deep, down and dirty” – just how we like it! A BIG tune from a tiny label, so show some love people…

Out: This week

About: This is only the third release from Deepest Music, who you can find on Soundcloud and Facebook.

Outward Roots : EP2 [CFM074]

“The second release by Outward Roots showcases a minimal sound focused more on the Ambient side of the duo. Minimal beats flow in and out of this 3 track Ep and could almost be called entirely Ambient. Two different tracks highlight the ever changing sound ending with a Version track that removes the beat completely.”

“France based producer Oud!n13 presents his new 4-track EP, and as the title already suggests, its a musical picture of a Connected Universe.

The music on this release speaks the language of deep and melancholic dubtechno and ambient moods, always little influenced by the sound of detroit. Living chords in a perfect symbiosis with moving spheres, rounded by straight and technoid rhythms.

The universe is connected, now go and be part of it!”

What a year it’s been so far for the one they call Cristoph. This Geordie lad is one of a group of young UK producers hailing from the North East Of England that are making waves worldwide with their next generation brand of British House Music.

Following in the footsteps of the likes of Hot Since 82, Patrick Topping and wAFF, Cristoph was singled out as a ‘Future Star’ by no less an authority than Pete Tong late last year and has since only managed to raise expectations further with a glut of hot productions and remixes this year for such mighty labels as Defected, Noir, Material & Viva.

And now it’s our turn to bask in his reflected glory, welcoming him back into the Selador fold following his highly impressive remix on Dave Seaman’s ‘Justified Replacement Of Lulu’ release with a killer 4 track EP which will only add weight to his growing stature.

First up, the title track moves in a slightly different direction than you’d normally be accustomed to from Cristoph. Tougher, fuller, more melodic styled techno, this is peak time, heads down material. Hold tight.

Next up to the plate is ‘Diggin In’ with it’s assured groove and slowly building dynamics leading to a classic crescendo and joyous pay off. One of the big tunes at Selador’s recent label night at Watergate in Berlin. Large.

Third in line to the throne is “Moments’, another subterranean adventure underpinned by a robust bass and incessant synth lines rising and falling throughout. Got more drama than a Colombian soap opera.

And finally, a fitting climax comes in the shape of ‘Time For Change’, a huge melodic gem that unfolds into the kind of breakdown that takes you to places where anthems are made. Heaven sent.

All in all, let’s make no bones about it, this really is the work of a producer at the top of his game and we’re very honoured to be a part of it. Get on board now and you can be too :-)

Sean Miller – Can’t Stop

Sean Miller Can't Stop Knee Deep In SoundProving that you can’t keep a good song down, here we have the first appearance in a while (that I’ve heard) by the vocal from Black Ivory’s Mainline, as covered by Jason Load Experience and sampled in Love Revolution’s Give It To Me Baby, T.S.P’s Can’t Stop The Feeling and about 17,000 other records back in the day.

In this case, those famous lines (“Don’t wanna stop cos you’ve struck my mainline, can’t stop the feeling inside my brain,” etc) have been resung by an uncredited female vocalist, and placed – by Canadian producer Miller – atop busily shufflin’ tech-house beats and a quite gnarly-sounding bassline. It’s hard to try and sell this one as being particularly inventive musically but the familiar vocal should get a good response on the floor. Over on the B, meanwhile, Clublife rides cleaner 4/4s with rolling, surging bass and high-pitched, energy-infusing whoops that may or may not have the initials LH attached…

Two very solid floor-moving Saturday night house cuts, nothing more, nothing less.

Out: Yesterday

Vibe Killers – Leave A Message

Vibe Killers Leave A Message sinnmusik*More Saturday night house vibes here, and another interesting sample choice (see Sean Miller review below) as UK duo Vibe Killers lift a snippet of speech from Jon Favreau’s famous ‘answering machine’ scene in 90s cult comedy Swingers.

On the Original mix, that sample’s placed atop a musical background that marries now-sounding tuff, techy drums and big, throbbing bass to some ace Jersey-style organ licks. Adrian’s On Hold Mix is a sparser pass with a distinctly dubby feel, while completing the EP is Just Wanna Dance, a more peaktime house jam with hard-slammin’ 4/4s, a fluid, funk-fuelled b-line and male/female vocal microsnips.

All good, but the Original of the title track takes the gold.

Out: This week on Beatport, everywhere else from 1 Feb.

Luigi Egitto – Let It Be/Something

$

Luigi Egitto Let It Be/Something SP RecordingsA two-tracker here from Italian producer Luigi Egitto, brought to you by Essex label SP Recordings.

On the A, Let It Be is a serviceable lil’ houser that tops contemporary-style shuffling percussion and dark, throbbing bass with a spoken female vocal (“if that must surely come, then let it be”), a woman’s laugh and sung “ooh baby” snips, as well as hand percussion, and synth-work that nods to the classier end of early 90s Italo-house. But while Let It Be is plenty playable, it’s Something that’s floating this reviewer’s boat more, a stripped-back affair with meaty kicks, crisp claps and bass that comes surging out of somewhere just below Hades. Chuck in a nagging two-note keys riff, spangly synth chords and party whoops ’n’ hollers, and you’ve got the perfect eyes-down groover to keep proper house floors moving through the wee small hours.

Out: Yesterday (on general release)

Black Patterns Vol. 1 is the full-length album release by Lobster Theremin regular Snow Bone, revealing a more spectrally destructive and experimental side through his Black Patterns moniker.

The LP is a depositary for plaque-coated material culled from a series of experiments with his own ‘Oblique Strategies’ style limitations or ‘tasks’. This conceptually translates into eight raw-to-the-bone styles of techno, house, noise and electro, segueing through layers of blown-out sounds and scattered intricacies along the way.

The bulk of the material emerged from hardware jams with rudimentary editing, with Hare deliberately limiting the function and type of equipment used to dissuade over-thinking in the album process, achieving a rough-cut and rusted aesthetic.

The tracks were recorded in his home bunker onto a 20-year-old ageing 4-track cassette recorder with filthy, worn-out tape heads, onto tapes that had held several Coil albums, as well as hundreds of his own over-dubbed recordings.

The resulting phantom sounds and textures that developed are intrinsic elements of the albums feel and mood, as are the random re-pitching and other sonic degradations of tape modulation and modifications.

The resulting black patterns settle in the landscape where Cabaret Voltaire and DAF meet Basic Channel, King Tubby, Jamal Moss and Jeff Mills with unique magneto-phonic ghosts haunting it’s dark spaces.

Various – Best Of Innocent Music Limited Vol 2

Best Of Innocent Music Limited Vol 2As regular readers will be aware, Slovenia’s Innocent Music and their sub-labels Innocent Music Deep and Innocent Music Limited are among this blog’s favourite purveyors of deep techno and minimal grooves. So while it’s barely a month since the label’s last compilation offering (December’s, er, December Sampler Vol 4, as reviewed by yours truly for iDJ), this latest collection was a very welcome arrival in the inbox all the same.

It’s gotta be said, though… when a label has such a recognisable sound, and turns out so much of the stuff, it’s hard to keep thinking of anything new to say about it! So all I can really do is reiterate what I said about the last one… you won’t find too many huge surprises here, but if twitchy, crunchy beats, industrial FX, dub basslines, haunting disembodied vocal fragments and production so sparse you could drive a truck through it sound like your idea of a good time then this album, which features cuts from the likes of F.eht, Diwex, Aney F and Vagabundo as well as a host of lesser-known names, should be right up your street.

As is fitting for a Sunday night review, it also comes particularly recommended to all the sofa-surfers and midnight tokers out there…

Out: This week
