Blue Soul - Sinister Ana / The Menacing (Roam Recordings)



Coming Soon From Roam Recordings
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Sinister Ana
2, The Menacing

A cornerstone of the Roam Recordings revival, Scott Boutin (aka Blue Soul) is an extremely talented and versatile producer. He has been spotted issuing singles for the likes of Whiskey Pickle, Thoughtless, and 3AM Devices as well as more experimental music under the moniker Archetypewriter. In his previous on Roam, "Summer Trip," Scott showed us his smoother '80s infused house sound. This new EP could not be more different, both tracks are mid-tempo, moody acid techno with a lot of attitude. The name of the first cut, "Sinister Ana," says it all; this track meticulously seeps in with an edgy acid bass line, gothic synths, and Arp synths that take mental prisoners through calculated transmutations. "The Menacing" is also aptly named, beckoning in all its glory with twisted horns and relentless acid notes while at the same time proving damn funky. In fact, both of these tunes maintain an 'evil' edge with grooves sure to creep into the body. This is not an EP for the fainthearted, but instead for those more adventurous DJs and dance floors ... dig in.

Trulz & Robin presents: Robomatic - Mpc 101 (Cymasonic Recordings)

Trulz & Robin presents: Robomatic - Mpc 101 (Cymasonic Recordings)

Coming Soon From Cymasonic Recordings

------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Nya drömmar

2. Elven

3. Siste stasjon

4. Bleep

5. Kan inte stoppa

6. Äntligen hemma

The Cymasonic Recordings label has gotten its hands on a textbook specimen of the old school electro sound with the Mpc 101 EP. The six track mini-LP is the undertaking of Robomatic,
a moniker assumed for this project by Robin C, also one half of Trulz
& Robin and Dance Disorder. At a time when much of dance music is
being degraded and repurposed for a younger generation mostly unaware of
their roots, this 'electro-romantic' homage to the true sound proves a
necessary addition to the dialogue: electro said in confidence.

Highlights like "Nya drömmar," "Bleep," and "Elven"
take listeners back to a purer time that even predates techno, while
worshipping the same seemingly alien electro-pop influences of
Kraftwerk, the distinguisher being that it has more to do with early
electronic experimentations in hip-hop and funk. The best thing about
the electronic culture is that the lines have always been a bit blurred,
bleeding over any perceived borders. This is how Cymasonic finds itself
releasing in such a classic American style -- but produced by
Scandinavians -- and the planet continues to spin 'round.

Kartech - House Shift (Wind Horse Records)

Coming Soon From Wind Horse Records
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. House Shift
2. Saturn's Solution
3. House Shift (Hamza Remix)
4. House Shift (Steve Conlan Mix)
5. House Shift (Priyesh Patil Remix)



"Following two previous compilation tracks under his Kartech moniker on Wind Horse Records, Thakur Kartik is now primed to release his debut EP, House Shift.
The label is excited to showcase this out-of-the-box deep house
producer and mix engineer who has already done much to help shape the
Wind Horse sound with his technical knowledge and musical background.
Kartech has also proven himself as a talented DJ on the New Delhi scene,
and fits right into the Wind Horse Records family as the label
continues to push the promising new house music talent of India.



Kartech provides two melodic and provocative deep tech originals for the release. “House Shift
has slight psychedelic accordion-like flurries over warm keys and
echoing stabs, all propelled by a rubbery bass line. Light touches of
dub effects round the track off nicely. Still undoubtedly deep, “Saturn's Solution
rings true within its minimal electronic groove. A jacking snare cuts
through the ebb of synthesizers as the track travels through unchartered
sci-fi territory.



Wind Horse enlists three familiar names from
the label’s roster to compliment “House Shift” with remixes, a tough
task as the original is already impressive. Label owner Hamza
gets loopy with the melodies, embellishing the low end through the
reverberating vibrations of a fat bass guitar riff. House music soldier Steve Conlan
also goes for the funky bass, even further testing the elasticity of
the original with plenty of movement. Hailing out of Mumbai with a
promisingly mature sound, Priyesh Patil provides the bounciest of
the remixes with the use of short, impactful notes, all while
maintaining an impressive atmosphere – the Wind Horse signature."
