Get Physical and Afro Acid come together for a heavyweight musical selection, as scene godfather DJ Pierre, as well as Chris Liebing, remix a classic track with lyrics written by American giant Roland Clark and produced by Get Physical creative director, Roland Leesker.

This outstanding package will be getting as exclusive Bandcamp only release on Get Physical’s store, with a wider release planned on DJ Pierre’s Afro Acid label in September. The record sees this diverse collection of widely acclaimed and hugely influential artists come together as one for a record that expresses their belief in love and unity.

The release opens with the original, a dark, pulsating tune that straddles the house and techno divide with a bendy bassline, acid stabs and a tribal groove that is finished off with an iconic vocal. The first remix is from long time Chicago giant, Phuture founding member and Wild Pitch creator DJ Pierre. His remix is a big loopy disco jam, with soul bursting out of the colourful grooves, splashes of cymbal and horn and string sounds that get you feeling good. Mute artist and long-time dark techno mainstay Chris Liebing then comes through with a driving remix built on supple drum programming. It grows in stature, becoming ever more unhinged and is sure to blow any dance floor apart for years to come. Then we have DJ Pierre’s iconic Phuture project take the reins with an epic 10 minute plus mix of acid, rolling percussion and building tension. This is a welcome return from Phuture who have plans for a debut album in 2021.

The package is completed with two radio friendly edits from Chris Liebing and DJ Pierre respectively. These are seminal tracks that will always sound vital in any context or era.

RNDTXTR ‘Random EP’

Artist: RNDTXTR
Title: Random EP
Label: Rekids
Cat. #: REKIDS163
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release Date: 11th September 2020
Tracklist:
A1 RND009
B1 RND007 (Dub Mix)
B2 RND004

Enigmatic producer RNDTXTR debuts on Rekids with a deep techno three tracker entitled ‘Random EP’ this September.

“Some tracks just stick with you. They never leave your box, or in this case USB, and I’ve been playing these tracks from RNDTXTR for well over two years. Everywhere from Tokyo to Berlin. These have a universal appeal, being hypnotic and just the right balance between pushy club sounds and spatial melodies” –Radio Slave

Shrouded in murky atmospherics, ‘RND009’ opens the package with rigorous drums, shuffling shakers, sweeping pads and scintillating synths. ‘RND007 (Dub Mix)’ continues with a similar cantering rhythm as various rattling percussive elements work alongside clever automation for a tracky cut designed to lock listeners into a trance. Concluding matters, ‘RND004’ is the wonkiest number on the package with its syncopated groove and otherworldly melody.

Repopulate Mars drops four new cuts from ‘Remix The Stars’ competition winners Lorenzo de Blanck, B3ATS, Curt Lopez and Knober, who join the label having reimagined cuts by core producers Detlef and Latmun.

In partnership with Hello Demo, the competition began earlier in May and gave budding producers the opportunity to remix Latmun’s ‘High’ and Detlef’s ‘Music Please’: two of the biggest tracks released on Repopulate Mars over the last year which both chartered high on Beatport and garnered considerable support from the BBC.

With its crunchy snare and precision acid licks, Lorenzo de Blanck’s remix of Detlef’s ‘Music Please’ is a low-slung affair complete with a combination of quirky subtleties. It’s a quality production from an artist who’s already released on Hottrax, Saved, Moon Harbour, and ElRow Music. In contrast, the remix from newcomer B3ATS is a tougher rendition courtesy of its powerful kicks and quickened tempo, however things take a plunge into the deep and funky as scintillating synths and uplifting melodies come into effect.

Starting to make waves this year with appearances on Nervous Records, Cr2 and You Do You, Curt Lopez is next with the first of two remixes of Latmun’s ‘High’ featuring a viscous bassline, serene chords and heady guitar licks that come together to form a sultry house cut oozing with soul. Finally, VIVa, Be One and Roush producer Knober’s rhythmic take on the same track heads into another direction with its complicated groove made up of pitter-patter drums and mesmerising use of the original’s vocals.

Jacopo Susini ‘Discover’

Artist: Jacopo Susini
Title: Discover
Remixer: Patrick Siech
Label: Break New Soil
Cat. #: BNS0699

Break New Soil loves Italy! Ilario Alicante, Daniele Papini, Romano Alfieri, Marco Effe and Luca Bear amongst others – the roster of Italian artists releasing on our imprint over the past decade is immense. Now, we´re very happy to present a very promising new face: Welcome Jacopo Susini! When I heard the demo Jacopo sent in, the decision to release the music was only a matter of minutes. Jacopo presents that exact raw and hypnotic style of Techno we love so much. Choosing a remixer was an easy task – Patrick Siech, a member of our little label family for many years, was the obvious choice – and unsurprisingly he delivered the goods as always! Returning not one, but two amazing remixes by our Swedish friend completes the package. Enjoy!

Riza Gobelez ‘Van Boven’

Artist: Riza Gobelez
Title: Van Boven
Format: Digital
Cat. #: FHLR032
Release Date: 25.09.2020
Tracklist:
01. Clairvoyance
02. Van Boven

Riza Gobelez, one of the most influential representative of techno music in Turkey, joins the FHLR tribe and debuts with “Van Boven”. Riza has released on labels as Intec, Jeton, Codex and Elevate.

‘Clairvoyance’ is a strong opener, on the EP as well as on the dance floor. Fast and pounding, yet with a melodic driving groove. Euphonious pads complete the composition.
‘Van Boven’ reduces the pace, quite a dub techno tune. Great for transitioning or closing the cycle.

Metropolitan Soul Museum ‘Floaters EP’

Artist: Metropolitan Soul Museum
Title: Floaters EP
Remixer: Iron Curtis
Label: Cuore Records
Cat. #: CR2007MSM
Format: Digital
Release Date: 10th September 2020 (Beatport) / 24th September 2020 (All Stores)
Tracklist:

Floaters
Floaters (Iron Curtis Remix)
Birdland
The Unexpected Return

London pair Metropolitan Soul Museum land on Cuore with another of their fully formed EPs, this time with a remix from Iron Curtis.

This London based duo is made up of Nick of Akra, and Filippo, who first linked up in 2015 and have released an array of outstanding records including the standout ‘Tesla’ EP on Toy Tonics. The pair make melodic electronic music which encourages you to dream which has found favour with an array of established names such as Tom Trago, Chaos in the CBD, Detroit Swindle and Roman Fluegel.

This lush new EP kicks off with ‘Floaters’ a deep but heavy track with rich bass and a fine lead melody that takes you on an inward journey. It’s subtle but impactful and filled with style. Iron Curtis is a long time underground talent who releases on cult labels like Smallville and runs Achterbahn D’Amour with his longtime friend Jool aka Edit Piafra. His version on ‘Floaters’ is rock solid, with chunky kicks and scattered claps getting you in a deep state of trance while the delicate vocal sounds pan around the mix next to a rousing lead.

The next brilliant original is ‘Birdland’ which is an intelligent, Detroit inspired track of melodic, rhythmic, syncopated deep techno that really sings. Lastly, ‘The Unexpected Return’ is a hugely atmospheric and beautifully peaceful ambient track with gorgeous synth arps to close out a cultured EP.

Marco Faraone ‘True Love EP’

Artist: Marco Faraone
Title : True Love EP
Label: Rekids
Cat. #: REKIDS162
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release Date: 28th August 2020
Tracklist:
A1 True Love
B1 Want Me
B2 Safari

UNCAGE label owner Marco Faraone is back on Rekids with three massive soulful cuts entitled ‘True Love EP’.

Hailing from Tuscany, Faraone has risen to become one of Italy’s leading house and techno artists over the last fifteen years. When not performing at the likes of Awakenings, Caprices, Tomorrowland and Kappa FuturFestival, the producer has released on leading labels like Ovum, Drumcode and Be As One. Since debuting on Rekids two years ago he’s become a notable fixture on the Berlin-based imprint, dropping numerous releases including his sophomore album, and he returns again now in fine form.

Opening the release in a big way, ‘True Love’ is built on galloping kicks, rattling shakers and a murky bass throb whilst a distorted vocal sings the track title. A cacophony of percussion then joins deep synths in ‘Want Me’ before introducing a powerful diva vox, leading into ‘Safari’ with its bubbling effects, piercing stabs and swinging hats.

Innellea & Kevin De Vries ‘Hoffnungsschimmer EP’

Artist: Innellea & Kevin De Vries
Title: Hoffnungsschimmer EP
Label: Afterlife Recordings
Cat. #: AL042
Format: 12″, Digital
Release Date: 28-8-20

An inspired collaboration which delivers more than the sum of its parts.

Innellea and Kevin De Vries have both broken through in the past couple of years, pushing distinctive, high-energy sounds for the floor. On the ‘Hoffnungsschimmer’ EP, the colourful tones of Innellea’s synth work and Kevin’s hard-hitting drama are a perfect match, resulting in three diverse and unique creations. ‘Das Licht’ and ‘Mondfinsternis’ are both euphoric, peak-time efforts full of stirring elements and forward motion. The title track’s more downtempo atmosphere and breakbeats balance the EP into a rounded whole.

Patrik Berg ‘Like Forever’

Artist: Patrik Berg
Title: Like Forever
Label: Terminal M
Cat. #: TERM187
Release Date: 30.09.2020
Tracklist:

Patrik Berg – Like Forver (Original)
Patrik Berg – Like Forever (Monika Kruse remix)
Patrik Berg – Hope

Cologne-based Patrik broke into the scene back in 2010 with his unique spin on techno. Signed to a number of top dance labels including Intec and Filth On Acid, he describes his sound as something which can make people dance. “His raw sound with emotional melodies and deep lyrics really touched me when I listened to it.” Monica said.

The latest EP ‘Like Forever’ combines trance like melodies, growling FX and warehouse drums in a soulful meleé of emotive mind music. Tribal rhythms, spoken word vocals and splashy percussive underbelly complete the picture.

Monika adds her magic touch to the remix of the lead track, teasing out the main motifs and injecting a large dose of her own personality. ‘Hope’ is a whirlwind of arps and kettledrum kicks that create a wildly expansive soundscape that hypnotises you by stealth.

Radio Amore ‘Eleutheria’

Artist: Radio Amore

Title: Eleutheria

Cat. #: FIL054

Label: Filigran

Release Date: 2020-09-25
Tracklist:

Grace
Majik
Prima Hora
Omni Revolutions
Flamboyante
Eivissa
Luka
Zebra
September Waltz
Ubuntu
Novi
Zora

On his third opus aptly named Eleutheria, Munich-based Adnan Durić-Steinmann alias Radio Amore conjures transcendent creations out of his opulent musical background as a producer (Filterwolf), band musician (Ampa) and label owner (Filigran). The album is positively polychromatic: Acoustic, electronic and hybrid sounds sit comfortably side-by-side and hypnotic melodic hooks are laced into mesmerizing works of art. This superiorly authentic twelve track collection is an iridescent blend of ambient, electronica, post-disco, avantgarde and neo-classical, culminating in an sonic experience that transcends the physical world
