On Edge Society · [OES031] Markantonio, Drumsauw- Foundations EP

On Edge Society welcomes Italian techno mainstay Markantonio and rising English talent Drumsauw as the pair deliver their three-track ‘Foundation’ EP.

Founded in 2015, Carlo Lio and Kareem Cali’s On Edge Society imprint has been a long-standing provider of impactful techno cuts from the scene’s biggest names and freshest talent, including artists such as Truncate, Regal, Marco Faraone, Marco Bailey and Avision. Up next, the US-based imprint welcomes Neapolitan techno staple Markantonio as the AnalyticTrail boss follows up releases via EI8HT, Mindshake and REDIMENSION with three gripping collaborations alongside UK talent Draumsauw (Analytic Trail/Planet Rhythm) as the pair make their label debut with their ‘Foundation’ EP.

Title track ‘Foundation’ sets the tone and launches into a loopy ride through classic techno textures reinforced by tough kicks as a fiesta of hi-hats propel the production forwards, while ‘Keep Moving’ brings a robust yet hypnotic approach as metallic drums march forth beneath the track’s evolving melodies. Closing the show, ‘Tribe’ welcomes further deeper grooves and sharp claps for another punchy yet silky workout, rounding out an impressive first appearance on On Edge Society from the two talents.

JUST2 ‘Wasted’

Artist: JUST2
Title: Wasted
Label: Solid Grooves Raw
Cat. #: SGRAW053
Format: Digital
Release Date: 28th October 2022

Solid Grooves Raw · SGRAW053 JUST2 – Wasted

JUST2 returns to Solid Grooves Raw as he serves up his new single ‘Wasted’.

A familiar name across both Solid Grooves and Solid Grooves Raw in recent years with solo productions alongside collaborations with partner-in-crime Luca M, Romanian DJ and producer JUST2 is back again to serve up the goods. Making a quick return to sister-imprint Raw, he closes October with a shadowy effort as he drops his new single ‘Wasted’.

Channelling the effortless drum grooves and airy melodies Romanian artists are well known for with his own tougher take on the genre, ‘Wasted’ balances light vocals with darker rumbling sub-bass for a subtle yet certified crowd mover.

Close Relative ‘Isopod’

Artist: Close Relative
Title: Isopod
Label: Truesoul
Cat. #: TRUE12147
Format: Digital
Release date: 28 October, 2022

Close Relative, the burgeoning project from a revered techno don who’s fuelling Truesoul incognito, returns with another kaleidoscopic burst of melodic cuts. His third EP on Adam Beyer’s imprint, the three-tracker sees Close Relative continue in his deft explorations that come inspired by nature.

Centered around the ocean and the species that inhabit its expanse, ‘Isopod’ is the first to plunge listeners into the producer’s source of inspiration. A booming start, meandering notes are rapidly met by steady slaps and the surging melody which looms large. ‘Oyster’ pulls back on the ferocity while maintaining depth as swirling synths and mellow chords come together with skittered synths and ascending notes to create a mesmeric implosion from the deep. ‘Plankton’ seeks to disorient the ear as the galloping rhythm clashes with a shutter shock of hi hats, and chord-led ascents soon meets accelerated, scattered synths creating a chaotic underwater plain.

Lilly Palmer ‘Resonate’

Artist: Lilly Palmer
Title: Resonate
Cat. #: DC269
Label: Drumcode
Release date: October 28, 2022
Format: Digital / Vinyl

Lilly Palmer’s ‘We Control’ was one of the standout moments on Drumcode this year, an exhilarating EP debut that peaked at no.1 on the Beatport techno charts and was supported by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 6. Since the release, Lilly’s grown as an artist in leaps and bounds and enjoyed a huge year that’s propelled her from being one of techno’s most exciting breakout acts, to a genuine star-in-the making. From a debut Essential Mix to gigs as playing Drumcode Ibiza @ Amnesia and Drumcode OFF Sonar, right through to Creamfields and fabric, she’s slayed all before her in 2022.

Another highlight of the year was when she became the first artist to DJ at the European Space Agency (ESA) performing a streamed set in the “Hertz Room”, where they test satellites and spacecrafts. It’s these strong themes of the cosmos that inform her next EP on Drumcode, the three-tracker ‘Resonate’.

The title track is kinetic weapon made for peak-time moments with a brain spangling build up and drop. ‘First Time in Space’ gives a nod to her recent experience with the ESA and is a synapse tickling beast that swings between celestial melodic layers and propulsive techno rhythms. ‘Ultimate Feeling’ is a full force gem driven by a Reece bassline, thrilling top line melodies and a life affirming vocal as it builds over a dramatic five minutes.

Moist Briefs ‘Orbiter’

Title: Orbiter
Label: toucan sounds
Cat. #: YTCW087
Format: Digital
Release Date: 4th November 2022
Tracklist:
01 Low Key

Moist Briefs lands on Brooklyn’s toucan sounds with ‘Orbiter’ this November.

Moist Briefs is a New York-based producer, DJ, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Having played at some of the city’s most respected nightclubs and radio shows, such as The Lot Radio, Mood Ring, Rash, Jupiter Disco, and Half Moon BK, as well as releasing a well-received string of self-released singles and EPs, Moist Briefs now arrives on toucan sounds with the wonderfully varied ‘Orbiter’ EP.

Leading the release, ‘Low Key’ brings rattling drums and off-kilter sampling together for a high-octane start to the release. ‘Last Min Check In’ keeps the energy levels high with pounding house rhythms and chopped samples before ‘Just Blaze’ brings a flurry of breakbeats and lush pads.

‘Death From Above’ sees Moist Briefs go for the jugular, with booming subs, fast 4/4 kicks, and rave stabs taking centre stage. ‘Earidescent’ follows, a hazy deep house jam with gorgeous chords, vocal snippets shuffling percussion, which also receives the vocal treatment from toucan sounds’ family Brandon Markell Holmes as the final track on the release.

ADIN readies his first album project ‘Spring Of Perspective’ on his home label DREEF, unveiling ten hypnotic and entrancing productions from across the electronic sphere.

Embedded within the global electronic music scene for over two decades, yet continually building new projects and moving in new directions, Ajdin Begovic is a DJ, producer and label boss with a journey more unique than most. From his war-torn birthplace of Bosnia to early musical beginnings in a Rotterdam record store, he quickly established his presence on the worldwide touring scene, with his technical ability behind the decks gaining him plaudits from leading outlets including the likes of Rolling Stone. Featuring at Mysteryland, Thuishaven, Womb (Tokyo), Creamfields and Elrow alongside EDC performances in New York, Orlando, Mexico, Japan and Las Vegas, his ADIN alias is now at the heart of his focus, building his signature sound while amassing support from Joris Voorn, Nic Fanciulli, Maya Jane Coles, Hot Since 82 and more. Building on a series of impressive EPs, late-October marks a significant milestone as the Rotterdam-based talent unveils his first album under the guise ‘Spring Of Perspective’ – with the ten-track long player set for release on his home label, DREEF Records.

Opening with the organic, slow-blooming sonics of ‘Capricious’, the project slowly builds and evolves into a rich journey through wide-spanning sonics across the electronic sphere. ‘Holistic Planet’ immediately ups the energy, combining sweeping pads and trippy electronics with a rich bassline at the track’s core, while ‘I Hear You Calling’ delves into more melodic spheres to balance airy serene melodies with brooding synths. Tracks such as ‘Cranium’ and ‘Radians’ take more stripped-back approaches, revisiting those organic textures while still bringing their unique nuances and warping tones, while ‘Meiosis’ and ‘Serpentine’ launch bright, powerful melodic trips to transport listeners to the heart of the dancefloor.

Title track ‘Spring Of Perspective’ arrives next, curating and creating a captivating journey through soaring leads balanced by wandering melodies, rolling drums and snaking grooves to craft an entrancing production and keep dancers in lockstep. Closing the show, penultimate production ‘The Patch’ and final offering ‘Will The Sides’ inject one last surge of energy, delivering two colourful and impactful cuts that harness the sound of ADIN as an artist and DREEF as a label. Showcasing ten productions highlighting his ever-evolving style, ‘Spring Of Perspective’ brings an exhibit of ADIN’s talents as a producer and marks an album set to take the project to the next level.

I like working by making catchy and creative loops and adding sprinkles of vocals, so this EP is just an end result of what I wanted to achieve. Releasing two EPs in two months for one of techno’s top labels is a great honour and I want to thank Matt for the opportunity” – Procombo.
