Marcel Dettmann – Linux / Ellipse [50WEAPONS025]

Cover art - Marcel Dettmann: Linux

The idea behind the label name is quite simple. After 50 single releases the label will not be continued and instead look back on a series of unique electronic dance music. With catalog number 25 the first half is now completed. As a very special guest Marcel Dettmann returns to 50 Weapons for a celebration of classic techno. Similar to his sold out “Deluge / Duel” single from December 2011, Marcel Dettmann affirms his love of purified, pumping techno.

VA – Dead Cities Vol.1 [EYED001]

Portuguese duo Photonz curate Dead Cities compilation – whose title is inspired by the Future Sound of London album of the same name – which is the most articulate expression yet of their love of warped electronic music. Limiting the selection to a group of artists who are close, local Portuguese talent is prominent and due to this tightly-knit approach, there is a cohesive sound on the compilation, but it could never be called smooth or polished.

Kassem Mosse ‎– Staat Aus Glas EP [SOTU004]

https://soundsoftheuniverse.com/img/eEVuRUplRSt6cDBHZlRJZk91RzBZQT09/staat-aus-glas-ep-kassem-mosse-diana-policarpo.jpg

Three exclusive raw house & techno tracks from Kassem Mosse on Sounds Of The Universe label. This single is part of our Art+Sound 12” series. Channeling diverse percussive and rhythmic traditions – religious drumming ensembles filtered through astral jazz, Underground Resistance’s rugged 909 output tempered with considered minimalism all cut together with signature slow motion groove, textures contrast and sci-fi synths.  This first EP on the Sounds Of The Universe label travels through the dissonant orchestral sweeps, gliding metallic harmonics and tight polyrhythms of ‘Staat Aus Glas’, the skidding delay and offkilter 80s darkside of ‘Escape From Frankfurt’, and the saturated cinematic techno of ‘Nacht An Allen Tangent’.

Sawlin – Eviment [ANN017]

Eviment

‘Eviment’ is the second release of Sawlin on Delsin off shoot Ann Aimee, made up of three more deep and subterranean techno cuts that play with plenty of textures. Title track ‘Eviment’ is a tortured and paranoid offering that has a nagging vocal stretched out over splashy claps and a foreboding bottom end thud. It’s vast and dark, spare and haunting where ‘Kretze’ is a bigger and bolder track. The analogue percussion and serrated lines all sound old and aged as they mark out a scraping, dystopian vision of a world well away from here. ‘Sour Tear’ has a more syncopated, techno-funk groove but is still padded out with plenty of dubby undercurrents. Sawlin’s percussion sounds are wholly non standard, from clanking metal to twanging strings, everything sounds like a real world sound, which makes his music as arresting as anyone’s, despite being made firmly for the techno backroom.

Carl Taylor – Debbie’s Groove [EPM002V]

https://imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS478780-01A-MED.jpg

Debbie’s Groove sees Carl Taylor in full on jacking mode, with tinges of disco and a stomping beat that will see you heading straight for the nearest dancefloor. Robert Hood turns his hand to Debbie’s Groove adding that magic touch, with a deep bassline, funky claps and a vocal snippet that echoes his Floorplan sound alongside the tougher tech workouts we’re used to hearing from this master technician. Good Vibrations gives us a deeper blend of the house meets techno sound that Carl has become known for, with its tough syncopated groove reaching dizzying heights.
