Title: Chiques Funk
Label: Motech Records
Cat. #: MT145
Format: Digital
Release Date: 16 July 2021
Tracklist:
1. Drama
2. Flavor
3. Chiques Funk
Forthcoming on Motech Records is ‘Chiques Funk’ [MT145] from American techno artist Annika Wolfe.
Annika Wolfe’s early musical influences span a range of genres from Punk and New Wave to Hip Hop and Funk. Such eclectic taste brings a unique sound to Wolfe’s deep, rhythmic and raw Techno, which was first brought to DJ 3000’s attention via an EP for Truncate’s WRKTRX label. After reaching out, Annika now debuts on his prestigious Detroit techno label Motech Records.
“The EP was inspired by my thirst for the late-night warehouse parties we are accustomed to in Los Angeles”, says Annika, “this is my take on raw, jacking styled techno”.
Track one, ‘Drama’ instantly captures attention with its funky Ghettotech vibe, jacking drum programming and claps that elevate every transition. The second track ‘Flavor’ steps the groove level up a gear. As Annika adds, “I tried to hone in the energy of a night out by serving three tracks with different moods”. The final track ‘Chiques Funk’ sets the tone for peak-time on the dance floor. Distorted robotic bleeps filter through percussive toms and claps resulting in a sound reminiscent of Detroit techno’s stripped-back soundscapes. Bringing maximum energy, Annika concludes, “The EP is driven with classic 808, and 909 percussion rhythms, followed with cold, funky and quirky synths that modulate throughout”.
‘Cliques Funk’ [MT145] from Annika Wolfe is available on Motech Records via all digital and streaming platforms from 16 July.

Title: Rezagados EP
Label: Bpitch
Cat. #: BPX013
Format: Digital
Tracklist:
1. Estado de Conmoción (1:49)
2. Censura (5:55)
3. Falacia (5:34)
4. Creyentes (5:47)
5. Rezagados (7:16)
6. Aguilas (5:08)
7. ¿Y La Libertad? (2:52)
8. ¡Calumnia e Injuria! (2:21)
Hailing from the city of Pereira, the producer and live act Gotshell debuts on Bpitch Berlin, a wide-ranging and potent 8-track EP, crispy modular system sounds, produced in solidarity with the ongoing protests in his native Colombia.
Gotshell made his name through appearances on Mord, Planet Rhythm, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, EPM and James Ruskin’s Blueprint. Prolifi c, diverse and unpredictable, his productions weave together classic old school techno loops, IDM, breaks and experimental noise. As a live performer, his freewheeling and psychedelic sets at festivals like Freedom in Colombia and Jungle Groove in Ecuador, plus underground clubs in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Tresor Berlin have earned him an international following.
Produced against a backdrop of poverty, inequality and protest met with violent government reprisals, Rezagados is an outcry against the Colombian government’s repression of dissent and creation of what the producer calls a ‘distorted reality that minimizes hope’.
Across 8 tracks Gotshell is in full fl ight, ranging from twisted cross-rhythmic techno to intricate, stuttering IDM. Moments of darkness are balanced by fl ashes of light, sounds of nature and searching euphoria, before the EP’s deep and contorted climax. It’s the sound of a producer restless and determined to resist.
Artist: Goeran Meyer feat. D-Lee
Title: Push and Hold
Label: MYR
Cat. #: MYR22
Format: Digital
Release Date: 2nd July 2021
MYR label boss Goeran Meyer returns to his label in fantastic form. His two new tunes are backed by innovative remixes from Ivo Deutschmann, Nesker, Juli Lee and Kaiser Waldon.
This is Meyer’s first release since his last outing on this label back in September. As always, he keeps it deep while exploring the cinematic soundscape he enjoys so much. Whether DJing, producing or playing live, his approach to music is to always transport you through an ever-changing landscape of audio sculptures. His grooves get you moving, while his well-crafted sonic details occupy the mind, as this fresh EP attests.
Atmospheric opener ‘The Key’ first comes as a vocal mix. It is a deep and sparse House track with a bubbling rhythm and sustained chords that layer in melancholy under an eerie spoken word vocal. After the instrumental version comes the perfectly deep and warm ‘Three Days’. It has an airy groove that is light and gets you on your toes, while deft synths bring colour to an otherwise superbly shadowy track.
First to remix is Ivo Deutschmann, an MYR regular who first emerged in 1999 and has since been a pivotal artist. His version is reworked with a majestic breakdown that allows his synth craft to shine before the mid-tempo drums carry you away in a dynamic groove. Germany’s Nesker is another key MYR family member who does everything from melodic house to driving techno. His remix rides on bumpy kicks with glitchy snares, while lush, well-sequenced keys take your mind into the cosmos. Swiss artist Juli Lee combines groovy rhythms and driving basslines on all her tunes, and this fantastically futuristic remix is no different. Last of all, the chart-topping and prolific Bali-based producer, party host and DJ, Kaiser Waldon brings his brilliant basslines to a menacing, low key remix that rounds out a stylish package.

Artist Quote – “Next up on Just Jack Recordings mul.apin provides us with 2 contrasting tracks, the rolling infectious beats of ‘A moment in Between’ take the synths to another level whilst the bass screams ‘BIG SYSTEM!!!!’ at the top of it voice. Then it’s turn for Just Jack fave Youandewan to…well Jack things up even further with an utter dance floor destroying remix.
On the Flip From Earth is a darker more brooding affair, trippy and with a late night tribal feel but with the dance floor fairly in its sights. One for the more twisted among you!”

Paris-based duo Groove Boys Project deliver their first material on Amsem Records this June as they release their latest EP, ‘Something Special’.
Longstanding members of the Amsem family, exciting Paris-based duo Boyzi and Lucas Moinet, aka Groove Boys Project, are two-rising DJs, producers, and live artists with a deep-lying love of US house music. Having featured across the collective’s line-ups within the city for several years, June now welcomes their first material on the label as they release their eclectic five-track ‘Something Special’ EP.
‘Cooked in their beautiful Parisian Studio 937, the five tracks off their ‘Something Special’ EP feel like a perfect introduction to those who haven’t had the chance to experience their soulful and passionate live shows. This record will take you on an ecstatic journey from Chicago to Paris, from peak-time classic house to deeper, early-morning cuts, bringing in their friends, and collaborators Lucas Piette and Rawaï along the trip, culminating in an epic drum & bass number that should set many dancefloors ablaze.’ – Amsem Records
Title track ‘Something Special’ welcomes a delightful slice of house music as the pairing work slick organic drums beneath rich keys and infectious vocals, whilst ‘New York Always On My Mind’ welcomes a deep, winding journey through scintillating saxophone solos, resonant stabs and sweeping melodies alongside Lucas Piette.
Next up, ‘The Last Tenor Riff (After Hour Djoon Mix) featuring collaborator Rawaï takes influences from legendary Parisian institution Djoon, welcoming bumping basslines, swinging dusty drums, and funk-fuelled grooves guided by powerful vocal interjections. ‘Missing Lagos Memories’ introduces a winding trip through jazzy spheres and spacey chords to unveil an intoxicating early morning mood, before switching things up and throwing a curveball into the mix as they welcome the skittering soulful tones of stand-out D&B cut ‘From Saturne To Planete Keraw’.

Title: Love Changed Me
Remixer: Masters At Work
Label: Redimension
Cat. #: REDIMENSION015
Release Date: 12th June (RSD Vinyl Only Exclusive) / 18th June (Streaming & Beatport Exclusive)
Format: Vinyl / Digital
Masters At Work remix Joseph Capriati, Eric Kupper, and Byron Stingily’s ‘Love Changed Me’ this June on Redimension.
Following two volumes of remixes that included DJ Stingray, Oxia, Carl Cox, François K, and more, ‘Love Changed Me (Masters At Work Remixes)’ brings the legendary pairing of New York’s Louie Vega and Kenny Dope together as Masters At Work to deliver a mammoth six remixes of ‘Love Changed Me’ on two 12” vinyl this June.
“Masters At Work are the real first artists that inspired me in music since I was 11 years old. I have been listening to their music anytime, every day, anywhere and collecting the whole Masters At Work records catalog. This is a dream that came true! I have a lot of respect for them professionally and personally and this release means a lot for me.” – Joseph Capriati
Leading the collection is the ‘Masters At Work Remix Vox Mix’, a full-blown NYC house bomb, dousing Stingily’s vocal performance in reverb around piano licks and gliding pads as MAW’s inimitable drum work runs beneath. ‘Maw Rowdy Adlib Dub’ sees the duo run the vocal track through a variety of off-kilter effects over powerful, clicky drums and dubbed-out stabs, while the ‘Maw Rowdy Dub’ strips the vocals down even more, accentuating the powerful production.
‘Maw Bubble Bass Mix’ brings a jacking take to the track, throwing heavily swung percussion alongside bubbling synth work. Additionally, a set of instrumental versions are provided, with ‘Maw Instrumental’ and ‘Maw Bubble Bass Inst’ stripping the tracks of Stingily’s performance for vocal shy DJs. Also included is the original cut from 2020’s ‘Metamorfosi’, which displays Capriati, Eric Kupper and Byron Stingily at their finest.
“We had a great time working on ‘Love Changed Me’, and felt good to come back in the game as MAW with this one here amongst others. It’s been a true musical pleasure to contribute to the new Joseph Capriati project. Dubs and Vocal versions, something for everyone, a Masters At Work interpretation!” – Masters At Work
