Lilly Palmer ‘We Control’

Artist: Lilly Palmer
Title:
We Control
Cat. #.: DC258
Label: Drumcode
Format: Digital / Vinyl
Release Date: 8-4-22

One of the most exciting names to emerge on the techno scene in recent times, Lilly Palmer makes her long-awaited Drumcode EP debut.

The German-born artist is a thrilling performer, who backs up her kinetic DJ sets with a quality body of production work. We got a taste of her talent when she contributed ‘Amnesie’ to A-Sides Vol.10 and elsewhere she’s dropped heat on labels including Octopus Records, Senso Sounds and her own Spannung Records imprint.

‘We Control’ is a satisfying label debut exhibiting her stealth-like ability to work a dancefloor with a variety of driving techno moods. The title track embodies a key- driven Motor City vibe, before thrilling waves of jagged synths and ravey effects take the cut into brain spangling bosh territory.

‘Resistance’ builds tension and anticipation in equal parts and is a vibe-heavy tool needed for every set. ‘Plasma’ is a full-force weapon that highlights why there’s so much excitement surrounding the rising artist. The EP closes with ‘Don’t Look Back’, as deep pulsating layers of bass cascade towards the finish line.

“I am absolutely thrilled to have my first 4-track EP coming out Drumcode this April. All four tracks have been major highlights in my sets last year, especially with ‘We Control’ I always felt this exceptional excitement of the crowd, and I couldn’t imagine a better label than Drumcode for them!” – Lilly Palmer

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.

Tracklist:
a1 Digital Tales

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.

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.

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.

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).
