Format: Digital, vinyl
Release Date: 6th May 2022
Tracklist:

https://shallnotfade.co.uk/album/learning-to-love-ep

Shall Not Fade’s Basement Tracks series welcomes Alan Fitzpatrick and DJ Deeon who team up on a cathcy and dark sounding Chicago-inspired house track, also available on a remix signed by DJOKO. Mr Fitzpatrick shows again a chameleon-like nature, is it maybe part of his evolution process or just music business? Time will give the answer.. Leaving aside his notorious big room techno productions on labels such as Drumcode and We Are The Brave, and the downtempo ones on Anjunadeep, with ‘Learning To Love EP’ he moves into deep and intimate motifs. On the B side the title track closes the EP sharing a beaming and confident vibe.

Adam BFD ‘Rose’

Artist: Adam BFD
Title: Rose
Label: Running Out Of Steam
Cat. #: ROOS012
Format: Digital
Release Date: April 29th 2022
Tracklist:
a1 Digital Tales
a2 Cirrus Dreamz
b1 1st Sight
b2 Rose
b3 Siniestro

Pre order link: https://runningoutofsteam.bandcamp.com/album/rose-ep

Adam BFD already returns on Running Out Of Steam with a magic release titled ‘Rose’, just two months after the previous EP released in February ’22. The kind of music proposed in this one have some similarities with ‘No Advice’ [ROOS010], but shows a totally relaxed and chilling mood. During the playback the songs arouse into the listener an introspective state of mind, useful for detach ourselves from the daily routine and the various life problems. Easy drum set up, broken beat rhythms and the large introduction of synth melodies and arrangements create the perfect conditions to bring out this kind of music.

Pre order link: https://wearemasomenos.bandcamp.com/album/unidentified-aerial-phenomena

Masomenos is a renowed duo in the artists scene, who is set to pop up again with a brand new album, to be out in the next month on Automatic Writing. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena LP traits minimalistic grooves and an underground approach to the sounds, even if it seems to slightly detach from the usual Masomenos imprint. The overall sound is dark and lo-fi, with a large usage of sub bass and tiny drums. Even all the synth, pad or effect have a small-scale nature, which perfectly fits with the instrumentals. This essential sound nature implies an intimate connection with the listener, delighting so the senses and the soul.

Reset Robot ‘Tired Voice’

Artist: Reset Robot
Title: Tired Voice
Label: Poker Flat Recordings
Cat. #: pfr247
Format: Digital
Release Date: April 22nd 2022
Tracklist:
01. Tired Voice
02. Meig
03. Jinx

Reset Robot has build a respectable name in the scene, having the opportunity to get released on important labels such as Drumcode, Truesoul and Last Night On Earth, just to name a few. ‘Tired Voice’ determines his debut on the great Poker Flat Recordings: this three tracker shows again to the audience the artist’s warm and essential sound signature. The title track really reflects the Poker Flat’s way of make tech house, anyway with all due respect to the other songs ‘Jinx’ emerges, underlining a club oriented nature. It features a nice set of production techniques that add fatness to each instrument, especially to the main chord and to the kickdrum.

Tracklist:
a1 CS80
a2 Millenial Millenium
b1 La Manana
b2 Horses On Acid

Pre order link: https://lobstertheremin.com/album/milennial-millenium-ep

Rove Ranger gets into a speedy techno mayhem with his ‘Milennial Millenium EP’, a bunch of four tracks that offer a quite bizzarre but attractive mentalism. ‘CS80’ reveals a hypnotic instrumental: the large reverbed main melody and the short vocal sample seem endless, while the title track closes the A side with another solid drum pattern perfectly melt into the surrounding pad sound. On the B side there are pressed the other two songs, which basically recall to classic styles such as acid (‘Horses On Acid’ is a nice tool) and warehouse techno (‘La Manana’ bangs all over its 6 minutes duration).

Pre order link: https://lobstertheremin.com/album/slightly-involved-vol-1

Here we go with another brilliant release to be out soon on Lobster Theremin, that’s a collaborative EP between Amy Dabbs and Coco Bryce: each artist edited and remixed two tracks of the other person, songs already published on the label, giving to them a new life. The refresh treatment of the original themes is interesting and propose a brilliant and gentle vision of drum n bass, the remixes on the A side sound more contemporary than the others on the flip, which have a oldschool way to treat the sounds.

AVA Belfast 2022

3 + 4 June 2022 – Titanic Slipways

AVA BELFAST 2022 TICKETS 

AVA’s infamous Boiler Room stage has always been a key part of the AVA programme. There’s been some monumental moments streamed live and direct from Belfast over the past 6 years, with over 20M views worldwide – Space Dimension Controller’s trance classics which had the crowd going wild, local legend Phil Keiran crowd surfing, and legendary sets from BICEP, KINK, Sally C, Midland, Denis Sulta and more. For 2022, Boiler Room will take over the Nomadic Stage, one of the highlight arenas from last year.

AVA are proud to announce the next installment of their collaboration with Boiler Room, featuring a solid selection of talent from the festival bill. A usual blend of Irish talent and international heavyweights will step up for the 7th AVA X BR broadcast. On the Friday, Robert Hood and Lyric Hood play under the Floorplan alias, bringing soulful house and techno vibes to the BR stage, plus rising electronic duo Prospa, and vocalist / producer Bklava, known for her high energy garage influenced creations. Representing the Irish talent is Gash Collective member ELLLL, alongside DART and Matheson.

Saturday’s line up is packed with what promises to be 100% charged energy. Turbo speed, acid tinged techno comes from superstar VTSS, one of techno’s most revered names right now, plus there’s emotional club bangers from TSHA, and left-leaning acid explorations from Skin On Skin. Rising star Mark Blair steps up to rep Irish talent, alongside Shampain and Brién – two names to keep an eye out who make their Boiler Room and AVA debuts this June.

Across the weekend, AVA Festival will once again invite a selection of internationally revered talent and local legends to play including Jon Hopkins, Mura Masa, BICEP, BIIG PIIG, I Hate Models, Sherelle, Overmono, Logic1000, Giant Swan, Holly Lester, ELLLL and more all set to join across the weekend. AVA’s new Titanic Slipways site will host an all new Main Stage and the return of the Nomadic, Grasses & Baltic stages – as well as immersive installations, chill out zones, secret stages and more. See the new site video for a vision of how AVA 2022 will look.
