Call Super is an outlet for hallucinatory club music. Swaying from the lean and muscular edges of techno, to the fractured palette of electronica and rough electro his productions share a tendency towards the live and informal. Now Call Super emerges with two tracks that comprise No Episode EP on New York’s Throne of Blood. Both tracks are then responded to, the former by Madteo, the latter by John Heckle. “No Fun” is a grinding bass-heavy groover rooted by its warehouse techno stomp and embellished with trippy melodic flourishes. Queens-based bass producer Madteo takes the original and recasts it in his singularly buggedout, broken and lo-fi style. “No Fool” is a storming dancefloor sureshot awash in noise and menace. For his relick, UK house upstart John Heckle amplifies the original’s halucinogenic circularity into a swirling monster of warped arpeggios and flying cymbals.

John Heckle on Creme Organization. John eviates ever so slightly from his trademark sound to paddle his little raft down the Mersey and run wild with the wolves. The result is epic and mystic (and 100% Organic) and opens a doorway into a mythical world of Wicker Men, Hill Figures, Druids, Witch Covens and early 90’s sunrises off the m25, when ever-E-thing seemed possible.

Myriadd – The Way We Were [SIG.MMXII.VII]

hipodrome, , , , , , Leave a comment

Two stunning slices of mercurial and heartfelt British Techno from two outstanding northern producers that cuts across the M62 corridor like a night drive into oblivion. A 10” black hit of space, lovingly designed for the dark, sweaty basements of provincial, post-industrial towns and the cold light of day in the car park of Knutsford Services.

Violence FM – Ondulation EP [SUIT002]

The second release from the Skylax sublabel Stay Underground, It Pays is coming from Violence FM. Rhythm playing and drum-machines programmings, editing, mix and mastering, his compositions are often inspired by tribal spirits, organic deep bass and melodies, oscillating beetween smoothie and energy, or both. Deep & Drum could be summing up his mind working, but no matter because the energy and emotion are primarily convened for a result that combines demanding sensuality and wildness. The release comes with a John Heckle remix.

For the 10th release, Taberbacle Records  Trackmasta Lou of Scan 7 delivers a warm, uplifting house track straight from the hood of Detroit. In contrast the b-side features two spanking remixes from Tabernacle cohorts John Heckle and The Analogue Cops.

Tr One – Drum Dance [APT001]

hipodrome, , , , Leave a comment

Apartment Record’s 2nd release comes from Ireland’s analogue-obsessed soul assassins, Tr One. On the A-side, “Drum Dance” is a fusion of beatdown with a minimal techno aesthetic, creating a hypnotic journey through the duo’s machines. The B-side serves up 2 alternative takes. John Heckle’s debut remix takes a heaving, lo-fi approach to the original’s drums while layering it with wistful synths, before Juju & Jordash’s Dub version closes off proceedings in their inimitable style; expansive yet claustrophobic at the one time.
