Luv Jam – Tropical 3.4 [HOUSEWAX010]

September 18, 2013July 19, 2023 hipodromeandy cole, housewax, luv jam, molly knew, rawaxLeave a comment

Luv Jam the Rawax affiliated Housewax to his sizeable discography with the four track deep Tropical 3.4 12″. Commencing with the title track, Luv Jam’s in restrained and stripped back form, as a deep acid line tries to emerge from the ether beneath a playful analogue bassline and the minimum of percussion. “Sailaway” sees him collaborate with vocalist Molly Knew on a moody and echo laden production that has a similar feel of set opener to it, whilst the flip holds more productions where Luv Jam’s musicality shines through.

Following last year’s “Unicursal Hexagram” LP Brooklyn producer Jahiliyya Fields enters a new realm with this four track EP. Taking elements from his past industrial fueled efforts and this time expanding upon them with the addition of the kick drum. One can hear a non-traditional and refreshing approach being brought to traditional beat driven electronics with piercingly harsh undertones and creeping melody. This ep explores the vast sonic elements which are designed to affect the body, the mind and the relationship between the two and the music.

DETTMANN, Marcel - Corebox

The Blueprint boss turns in three remixes of Dettmann’s “Corebox”, originally taken from MDR04 (featuring “Lattice”), supplying two club crafted tracks and an ambient 3rd Version. Ruskin reworks the original’s famous chords, adding overdrive and reverb in his first remix, while his Event mix strips them dry. Ruskin’s ambient version again uses the chords as its centrepiece, but buries them in a soundscape made for a ’70s horror film.

JC / FP aka Jose Cabrera / Fred P – Determinism EP [SPMB001]

September 16, 2013July 25, 2019 hipodromefred p, j.c., jose cabrera, minimal techno, soul people boards, soul people musicLeave a comment

Commencing a new series for Fred P’s Soul People imprint, Jose Cabrera and Fred himself deliver four tracks of uncharacteristically tough rhythms that suggest an exploration of more driving, DJ-focused cuts compared to the luscious soulful tones normally found on the label. Cabrera takes up the A side, kicking off with the hefty throwdown of “General Relativity”, all thunderous kick, snagging hat and desolate bleep over a fearsome high-pitched tone. “Framework” is housier in its demeanour, but still packs a mean punch as it twists out a chunky chord line. Fred P’s “Quantum Effects” on the flip is a perfectly scattered techno excursion, both minimal and engaging at the same time. “String Theory” is more twitchy with its dextrous layers of percussion and discordant notes claging around in the distance, a far cry from the soothing lullabies he can often be found crafting.

Subjected – Vault Remix Series 1.0 [VAULTRMX001]

September 16, 2013January 26, 2024 hipodromedeveloper, moerbeck, shifted, subjected, techno, tuff city kids, vault seriesLeave a comment

German producer Subjected’s Vault Series label has put out a series of excellent, hard-edged techno releases and now the focus turns to remixers. It’s testament to the label’s stature that it is able to get producers like Developer and Shifted involved. For his part, the mysterious UK producer delivers a bleak, jacking take on “005.7”, his razor-wire percussion marking out nightmarish riffs and insistent tonal blips. Developer’s contribution is as impressive, with waves of hissing hats providing the basis for a swelling chord progression. The release also features a rare remix from Gerd Janson; working with Philip Lauer as Tuff City Kids, he turns “005.7” into a jittery, busy house groove. Completing the package is Moerbeck’s grinding, quasi-industrial take on “005.7”.

Thirteen years ago the Nurture label released upekah, the one and only single to come under the son.sine alias. It’s an alias of a New Zealander who released only a select few EPs under different monikers, and one that sounds as good today as it did back then given all its dub infused techno glory. It’s always been hard to come buy but now Delsin are remastering and rereleasing it into the world once more.

Minimal Wave presents the 47th release, a release of early 1980s ritualistic minimal electronics by French duo DZ Lectric + Anthon Shield. The songs are selections from their 1985 cassette release, Confessions D’Un Masque. Having been active in their respective projects, the duo came together naturally in 1981 and over the years began recording music together. They shared a similar philosophical outlook and love of music, from classic rock like The Velvet Underground and The Stooges, to the edgier, industrial and no wave stuff that was coming out at the time, bands like Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, and Tuxedo Moon. They performed a number of times at special venues and festivals in Europe, creating intense and engaging live performances with minimum equipment and an abundance of spirit. They also released many tapes throughout the 1980s. Their music is challenging and hypnotic. Brutal and aggressive at times, overall the message speaks more about human ritual than anything truly sinister.
