TH ± Tar Hallow takeover: Curious Kees a.k.a. TAFKAMP adds his signature into the label’s catalogue with a brand new vinyl, coming soon this week.

The overall idea behind the creation of this EP is very nice and keeps alive this underground musical trend.

KISLO ‘Heirlooms’

Artist: KISLO
Title: Heirlooms
Label: Future Classic
Cat. #: FCL543
Format: Digital
Release Date: November 18th 2022
Tracklist:
1. Heirloom
2. I Don’t Mind (feat. bailey)
3. Fear [Edit] 4. Echo
5. Nova
6. Who Are You
I Don’t Mind (Instrumental)

UK producer KISLO delivers debut EP Heirlooms. KISLO says; “Heirlooms is inspired by my musical, creative and personal experiences. I want to provide a ’tasting session’ for listeners – each track is a memoir coloured by sound and visual art. I grew up travelling widely and listening to a range of electronic acts, from Faithless to BICEP, Moby to Rufus Du Sol, all which I’ve ended up absorbing influence from. Each of these ‘heirlooms’ are my own, but the focus for each song was the emotion I was feeling at the time, and what came out in that moment. I hope it resonates in a similar way for listeners.”

Oscar L ‘Alive’

Artist: Oscar L
Title: Alive
Label: Arcane
Cat. #: arc021
Format: Digital
Release Date: November 18th 2022
Tracklist:
1) Let Me Take You
2) Alive
3) Isolate

Techno music heavyweight Oscar L gets released on Eli Brown’s Arcade with ‘Alive’, a dense sounding three track release. The deep and large kickdrums are dominant in each production as some monotoid drum patterns, loops that become functional thanks to the introduction of various synths or pads, instruments that add variance all over the song structure. Aside the title track ‘Isolate’ reveals to be the most intriguing creation of the EP: there a high tension is build in the main breakdown, a sensation which explodes just after the drop with the introduction of an electro bassline.

Simone De Kunovich ‘Addio, Mondo Nuovo’

Pre order link: https://kompakt.fm/releases/addio_mondo_nuovo

Simone De Kunovich debuted on Mule Music in January ’22 with the four tracker ‘Mondo Nuovo’, showing a great way to interpret deep / tech house styles. As suggested by the title ‘Addio, Mondo Nuovo’ (addio means goodbye) and the music, this brand new EP partially abandons the influences that brought to the creation of the old release, introducing new contaminations and totally avoiding the songwriter’s block. The whole atmosphera goes specific and sometimes enigmatic, creating soundscapes that flip the mind into an unconscious but intricate state.

Club and label imprint Fabric is ready to host Nicola Cruz as curator of the next popular mix series, delivering an interesting track selection, which embraces a techno sound aesthetic. The various songs square a mature and minimalistic temperament, that can be easly translated to the dancefloor.

“I feel I’ve reconnected with electronic dance music and that’s what this mix is about in a way; being able to understand again, and to compose and play with this energy that I had forgotten. The same goes with my live show at the moment, the concept is basically enjoying the driving nature of electronic music.” Nicola says.

Pre order link: https://scissorandthread.lnk.to/ZGZG

Electronic music still allows (more than ever) international collaborations: New York connects London thanks to Zansika Lachhani and Anthony Collins, who decided to output their brand new music under the ZG alias. Their self titled album is a touching homage to jazz, downtempo, broken beat and house motifs. The various songs create a fascinating and distinctive sound, which intensifies from the middle of the tracklist: the instrumentals adopt a mutating and reinforced formula that adds catchiness without loosing the artist’s music signature, made with smooth rhythms and heavenly vocals or melodies.

Robag Wruhme ‘Speicher 123’

Artist: Robag Wruhme
Title: Speicher 123
Label: Kompakt
Cat. #: KompaktEx123
Format: Digital, vinyl
Release Date: November 11th, 2022
Tracklist:
1. Fire
2. Un-spoke-en

Buy link: https://kompakt.fm/releases/speicher_123_12

There’s no 123 without 4 in our beloved Speicher series. Robag Wruhme is back with two intense, low-slung monster tunes in his unique masterful fashion. “Fire” is destined to set your peak time dancefloor on fire with its killer bassline and trippy sequences. “Un-spok-en” is equally relentless and unfathomable, garnished with a haunting vocal snippet.

A prolific, beloved member of the German techno community, Weimar-based producer/DJ Gabor Schablitzki is known for his steadily paced yet unconventional productions, his eclectic full-lengths, and his adventurous mix sets. He achieved recognition during the 2000s for his bountiful output of original tracks and remixes under several names, most notably Robag Wruhme and Wighnomy Brothers (a partnership with Sören Bodner). As Wruhme, he demonstrated his versatility with his 2004 debut full-length, Wuzzelbud “KK,” which ventured from techno into hip-hop and IDM. Continuing to release ambient techno full-lengths such as 2019’s Venq Tolep and more club-primed singles, he’s also displayed his prowess on the decks with mixes such as 2021’s Connecting the Dot

Jeremy Olander ‘Silius EP’

Artist: Jeremy Olander
Title: Silius EP
Label: Watergate
Cat. #: WGDIG017
Format: Digital
Release Date: November 11th 2022
Tracklist:
01. Silius
02. Graincluster
03. Silius (Alfa Romero Remix)

Pre order link: lnk.to/SILIUS_EP

Jeremy Olander (known also for his own label Vivrant) after a few short featurings on important labels like Last Night On Earth and Anjunadeep will be hosted on the Berlin based Watergate Records with ‘Silius EP’. This release is a good three tracker that fluctuates into a round and lively deep house: the title track shows its nimble nature expecially in the main pause, when the main synth starts and just after the drop it indicates the right place this song needs to be played (obviously the dancefloor), while ‘Graincluster’ becomes audacious, suggesting reckless bravery but harmonious and placid.
