Hipodrome Podcast 002 – Alexandru Jijian

https://hipodrome.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/hipodrom002.jpg

Hipodrome Podcast series continues with Alexandru Jijian, an up-and-coming dj from Bucharest, Romania. With this podcast, he had shown his experimental side. For me this mix is like a very very hot summer day, like the ones we are having right now … The mix has around 90 minutes and it’s starting very deep, then as the heat is getting higher and higher, the mix is going into some ambient stuff. By the time when we passed half of the mix, the heat seems to disappear slightly as the night is coming. The mix takes a sudden turn and goes to straight up techno.
Enjoy it.

I:Cube – Merovingienne [VER068]

With this ‘Merovingienne ep’, I:Cube arrives at the synthesis. The influences are there, seminal: mental techno and creepy funk mate to give birth to sublimes bastards. A dirty sound, and chiseled structures, which reveal a little more each listening.

Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker aka GB comes with The Xpander ep. He delivers some deep introvert electro tracks. A-track The Xpander is an uptempo track, while the flip side is a more introvert electro piece that slowly builds and builds until both feet aren’t touching ground anymore.

Anthony Shake Shakir – At the Bonnie Brook [ALR012]

ANTHONY 'SHAKE' SHAKIR - At The Bonnie Brook image

New Shake gear backed with remixes from Osborne and Photonz on Astro Lab Recordings! ‘At The Bonnie Brook’ catches him in a top mood, banging out bucking house beats with crisply cornered synth edits finished as only Shake can. Osborne’s mix drops the tempo for a ruff Detroit jackers fix, while Photonz gives contrasting ruff and smoove fixes on the flip.

Mr. Bosco has outdone himself with this 2 tracker EP release for Minimal Soul Recordings. Uptempo kicking and Detroit-inspired techno. He goes full tilt with both sides, setting ornate rhythm patterns to hold his florid melodies and uplifting synthline vibes.

LOST TRAX - Lost Trax 2 image

SCSI is back with a classy Detroit techno record which has been sat in the vaults for quite some time waiting patiently to be released. As the second part of the Lost Trax series expect deep bass, booming 808 kicks and Carl Craig-esque sounding strings. The Lost Trax series is a project for producers who have inspired the label to record something special and release anonymously as we don’t believe it’s necessary to sell music on the strength of a specific artist’s reputation.

Mark du Mosch – Bareknuckle [SD18]

SD Records returns, with a four track smasher by Mark du Mosch. Mark du Mosch delivers a classic EP with four very different, but ultimately essential tracks. Titletrack Bareknuckle has ”anthem” written all over it. Warm, but pumping techno with a hint of disco and a hook that is simply killing. With the raw, dark technoelectro sound of Monolulu and Mice vs Cat Mark du Mosch dives into dusty, pounding cellar soundsystems. Machine Lives takes it in true SD style to an unexpected experimental level with not to miss.
