Pyrenees - GEOGRAPHICS

South London visual and sound producer, Pyrenees aka Jeremias Carroza, graces his bandcamp with a brand new EP called, GEOGRAPHICS. The 4 track release explores "the parallel signs of illness in humanity and nature, considering human's disease a pure reflection of nature's suffering" through means of classical house interpretations. Three original compositions and a closing remix from We Like Turtles. There is something definitely to take a listen at here...

Video :: Spazzkid - '40 winks'

preview :: Avalon Emerson - Pressure / Quoi!

Avalon Emerson finally announces her debut single release on San Francisco's beloved label/night, Icee Hot. "Pressure" / "Quoi" is to be released on digital and vinyl January 13, 2014. The release's second track on side A, 'Quoi!', gets double the remix treatment from Tuff City Kids with a 'Clean Shave' and 'Rusty Blade' spin on the original. Avalon Emerson advances her production to new heights by scoring two new absolutely gratifying dancefloor churners.

'Pressure' begins with a subdued bassline that slowly progresses into a dingy hyperactive techno sweeper. Reiterating the same pressure building vocal sample; the 7 minute tune climaxes at a half way point in a drowning pool of lush synth progressions and hooks. Ms. Emerson continues that hook pattern in, 'Quoi', where she locks a groove that dips the listener into deep trance that enables a sway to the rhythm of the lovely chord melody like that one night at a rave in an underground location. Both SIDE A components are deeply body-moving jams that can easily be repeatable. Keep an eye out for her debut on Icee Hot this coming January of 2014. Preview the whole thing below via soundcloud...

stream :: Earth House Hold - See Through You

SF ambient legend Brock Van Wey aka bvdub recently started his new project under the name Earth House Hold with his debut EP, See Through You on Brooklyn based, Peach Records. Earth House Hold is Peach's second release following Cromie and Sage Casewell's exceptional Vines / Pyrex release. Consistently following the lines of deep-house, bvdubs new alias emits ominous soulful house compositions that are stripped down in a pocket time, sparking instant sedation. Both sides of the 12" contain gorgeous reverb vocals prepared alongside a building slow-mo chillout lounge beat, that serves its purpose to the gods of the deep. 'A Little Late For That Now'; is incredibly curing in every which way, clocking in at almost 12 min, the track drowns itself in emotion and scores a loosely felt dance arrangement that will hook you within seconds. Its a very exciting debut from the newly established Earth House Hold. Purchase on 12" and digital formats starting November 12th here.

PLATA - '0VERLY'

Recently came across this gem on Spain producer, PLATA's soundcloud. It reminds me alot of Machinedrum or Sepalcure in terms of the rhythm production and all. PLATA has a grip of solid productions on his page exploring bass and post-dubstep sound variations, which quite nice to hear as more producers are seldom creating this sound too much anymore. PLATA gives new meaning to the genre. Over all must listen track down below. Submerge in the sound...

Medlar - Sleep

Following from last years 'Knockard Pearl' and 'Terrell', Medlar's LP Sleep released on Wolf Records is something slightly different to his usual club banging hits. Expect to hear some jazzy smooth house samples along with some sexy sax. It's defiantly one for those late nights in. Available on 12" vinyl here.

It has some of the best underground dancefloor bangers that one needs to be aware of within its duration of almost 2 hours. The mix will surely get you up and running. Check out what he had to say about it below...

"This mix basically represents everything I'd like to hear on a dance floor right now. I was having too much fun throwing it together so it's a bit long... I always appreciate when DJ's incorporate some range and depth into their mixes so they don't exhaust your ears. Hopefully I've been able to accomplish a bit of that as well. Enjoy!"

AyGeeTee - staring at the sea, snapping at your heels

A couple of weeks ago, AyGeeTee self-released his newest album, staring at the sea, snapping at your heels. The electronic experimentalist clearly doesn't care to have his music inclusive to all audiences. At first listen there is a bunch of white noise and barely audible melodies, but that's the beauty of what AyGeeTee continuously contributes to the online music realm. staring at the sea, snapping at your heels, cosmically harnesses 7 tracks of industrial half-way techno. Embodied by pumping basslines, loose ethereal synth stabs, formulated abstract alien noises, and underwater toned and textured sounds. Its definitely a release you must listen to all the way through to enjoy and understand thoroughly. Purchase or download the album via bandcamp at a 'name your price' deal....

REKchampa - 'Atonal Shit' + Divine Interface - 'A House Divided'

REKchampa and Divine Interface contribute tracks to newly established Atlanta collective/label, Harsh Riddims. Their debut compilation, Harsh Riddims Vol.1, explores different branches of devotional rhythm based compositions all representing a variety of musical styles. REKchampa's track, 'Atonal Shit' transcends to a leaky sensation of warehouse vibes, that creep until the rhythm makes the listener move anxiously to it's harsh embedded basslines. Divine Interface's, 'A House Divided', takes on a tribal house rhythm that the listener just won't be able to get over. All the other tracks on the compilation are just as good and highly recommended to check out. Stream or purchase the release for $5 over at bandcamp.

Hidden Wax Label

Recently established London based label, Hidden Wax, were kind enough to send me a 12" of their very first pressing showcasing two tracks from three of their very own; Blue Cube, Shay, and Inverchoulin. The label sampler was released in March of this year and has set an outstanding preliminary tone for the type of music this record label will be pushing. Simple, clean, and forward-thinking electronic music that has free range in its creative outlooks for computer based sound interpretations. Its a joy to hear the versatility of sound from Hidden Wax's three membered roster.

The A side starts off with Blue Cube's 'Cycle', which treads lightly in it's infectious sonic melody that conducts its self like an orchestra in the wind. This goes into A2 which is Inverchoulin's, 'Bridge Light', a hip-hop jazz sampler that will get the head bopping and have the clock stop ticking. The 3rd and final track featured on side A is Shay's 'Simulacrum', a deep toned trip-hop track that works the nodes in the brain to spark thought and insight into one's actions or memories. Truly beautiful stuff.

In Side B1 Blue Cube showcases his 2nd track 'Leopard', a rhythmic bell techno excursion following the lines of something, Daphni or Four Tet would create or arrange in their tracks. Very similar sound vibrations. Following this one,  Inverchoulin's 'Timbre' takes on a silky deep-midi tuned raga that is ever so soothing and calming to ears and mind. Lastly the records finishes off with Shay's, 'Haemoglobin', the more off-kilter pop entranced tune of the release, nicely closing out the label's first sampler.

Along with George and Scott's (label founders) newest Hidden Wax establishment, they also will be running their digital label counterpart, Don't Fret, which will solely specialize in digital releases. Keep an eye out for that. The Hidden DJ's of the label have made a mix for Thats Deck's podcast series (DECKast) that will be up in the coming week, so watch out for that as well. In the meantime check out their awesome mixes via mixcloud.
