Plant43 – Dreams Of The Sentient City [SEMANTICA041]

March 25, 2012February 26, 2015 hipodromedetroit, electro, emile facey, plant43, semantica records, sentient city, technoLeave a comment

Plant43 returns on Semantica with a four-track electro EP. Most of the new material exhibits the melodic and placid side of electro, starting with “Neon”, good for nocturnal downtown cruising in a light drizzle. “Stellar Nursery” embarks on a space mission in more upbeat mood, expressed by blooming arpeggios and subtle disco bass, all resulting in a hefty dose of analog harmony. After futuristic dreaming and little melody played in “Metamaterial Cloaking”, the gates are smashed open in “Fluid Reasoning” for a turbocharged cavalry, whereas Plant43 is not afraid adding some trance quotient to this wake-up call.

New project by Dj Aakmael featuring 4 raw and smoked out house bangers shouting out to many of the Deep House legends. Lots of gritty, dirty chopped-up chords riding heavy beats showinf Aakmael’s love for that classic sound, featuring deep and warm organ chords topped off with lovely voices.

Model 500 – Control / The Messenger [RS1202]

February 24, 2012December 20, 2023 hipodromedetroit, electro, juan atkins, model 500, r&s records, techno2 Comments

Juan Atkins returns to R&S on a Model 500 solo mission. The last Model 500 single enlisted the help of the live line up that includes Detroit techno royalty Mike Banks and UR alumni Mark Taylor, but this latest release is just Juan in the studio and back at his best. ‘Control’ is vintage Model 500, the classic electro that Atkins pretty much invented, with his treated vocals riding over the crisp rhythm programming, dark basslines and Detroit synths. ‘The Messenger’ on the flip is a moodier affair, with the liquid synths almost running away with themselves over the rough beats.

Redshape – Throw In Dirty / The Land [3024017]

February 21, 2012September 6, 2019 hipodrome3024, detroit, house, redshape, sebastian kramer, techno2 Comments

Redshape with two tracks on 3024. A-Side ‘Throw In Dirt’ opens with vintage drum machines locked into a stooped groove as hi-hats spark off the top while a heavily filtered and pitched vocal loop offers dead eyed encouragement. After such an oppressive opener, ‘The Land’ is a noticeable change of pace. A horizon spanning kick underpins gospel’ish vocal snatches as the familiar hissing of synthesized cymbals shifts and builds on top of bass that’s more shudder than line.

Astonishing album by Mark du Mosch, who delivers his first full length album on Syncom Data Records and it’s quite simply overwhelming.

With ”Salmiak” Mark du Mosch shows he’s not only a great DJ, but one of Hollands finest producers as well.
