Kmyle ‘Rise EP’

Artist: Kmyle
Title: Rise EP
Label: Break New Soil
Cat. #: BNS073
Release Date: 21.05.2021)
Tracklist:
A1: Kmyle – Hematom
A2: Kmyle – Rise (Original)
B1: Kmyle – Rise (Gregor Tresher Remix)
B2: Kmyle – Dephn

For catalogue number 73, we are happy to welcome a new face to the label. KMYLE, like many of his fellow French artists who contributed to Break New Soil before – comes up with an amazingly unique EP! His four original tracks sit comfortably between hypnotic and raw Techno and play with ethereal atmospheres on top of that. Especially „Hematom“ is what we would call a perfect Techno track – stripped down yet totally capturing and mesmerizing through the menacing melody line. “Dephn” calls the dancer in us even more! And then there is „Routine“ and „Rise“ – both perfect examples for Sam´s exceptional talent for creating lush athmospheres through melody. And well, then we included a little remix of Rise in the package as well…. but listen for yourself 😉 =

Arnaud Denzler ‘Forever EP’

Artist: Arnaud Denzler
Title: Forever EP
Label: Amsem Records
Cat. #: AMSEM009
Format: Digital
Release Date: 7th May 2021(EP) / 23rd April 2021 (Different Paths)
Tracklist

  1. Long Story Short
  2. Forever
  3. Different Paths
  4. From Far Away

Amsem Records welcome Paris-based producer Arnaud Denzler for his first appearance on the label this May as he delivers his four-track ‘Forever’ EP.

A DJ, producer, live performer, and member of Paris’ La Claque crew, Arnaud Denzler is a rising talent to watch within the French capital. Having released his first material last year, early-May sees the rising talent head to blossoming French imprint Amsem Records as he delivers his emotive and slick ‘Forever’ EP.

“Recorded while the world could still party, ‘Forever’ is the perfect house soundtrack to walk you home in the early morning. Halfway between the club and our beds, we quietly navigate to the rhythm of our emotions, through the remains of a not-so-distant euphoria and latent melancholy, where reminiscences of the past and wanderlust intertwine, carried by a delicate and nuanced sonic palette.” –Amsem Records

Opening via the acid-tinged synths and smooth violin melodies of ‘Long Story Short’, the Parisian quickly unwinds and reveals a sound palette rich in resonant, vibrant tones. ‘Forever’ welcomes a medley of mesmerising pads as they weave effortlessly amongst vivid electronics and refined organic percussion, before diving into the sweeping, 90’s influenced soundscapes of ‘Different Paths’. To close, Denzler rounds out the EP via Eastern-influenced solos and smooth, deep grooves of final cut ‘From Far Away’ – punctuating the EP in excellent fashion.

Title: Life In Pieces (LP)
Label: FUSE
Cat. #: FUSELP05
Format: Digital
Release Date: 30th April 2021
Tracklist

  1. Close Your Eyes feat. Kiki & Mavi
  2. Ever So feat. Robert Owens
  3. Close To Me
  4. Space Music
  5. Ville Néon feat. Maryam Hallou
  6. Our Time feat. Alix Alvarez
  7. Waddabout Chu feat. T.O.S.
  8. All The Reasons Why
  9. I’ve Been Here All Along feat. Tiffany Pontes
  10. This Life

Paolo Rocco delivers his ten-track debut album ‘Life In Pieces’ on FUSE.

First single ‘Ever So’ featuring house icon Robert Owens is out now accompanied by a pair of remixes from Mandar member S.A.M.

Born Canadian of Italian descent, Montreal-based DJ and producer Paolo Rocco has emerged as one of the most consistent names within house music over the past decade, with a wealth of material via the likes of Hot Creations, PIV, Berg Audio, Constant Sound, Taverna Tracks, and Rutilance Records showcasing his own take on house, deep house, and minimal territories. Having closed 2020 with fresh music on his own RAWMoments imprint, late-April welcomes the arrival of his biggest project to date as he makes his label debut on London’s FUSE to deliver his ten-track debut album, ‘Life In Pieces’.

“As my first solo album, I wanted to create a timeless collection that incorporates my range while reflecting my love for late 90s early 2000s rave culture. Something that stands out on the dancefloor yet can also be listened to at home, at a pre-party, an after-party, or on the way to either. I want to give a big thank you to everyone who believed in this project, some even more than I did. From my hometown Montreal RAWM fam, to the London FUSE crew, I couldn’t have asked for a better support system for this project. I hope I made you all proud; this is mine as much as it is yours.” – Paolo Rocco

Starting via the rich piano melodies and breakbeat infused percussion of ‘Close Your Eyes’ featuring Kiki & Mavi, before welcoming house legend Robert Owens to the fore on the grooving ‘Ever So’, Rocco quickly establishes his production range and delves into pockets of the house sphere in style. Tracks such as ‘Close To Me’ and ‘Space Music’ fuse low-slung basslines and scintillating synths with atmospheric pads and hooky vocals, while the off-kilter ‘Ville Néon’ alongside Maryam Hallou strips things back and lays the focus on sharp organic percussion, alluring spoken word snippets and twisting electronics across a warping after-hours cut of the finest calibre.

The slinking ‘Our Time’ featuring Alix Alvarez takes things back straight into the peak time as skipping drums meet icy hats, while ‘Waddabout Chu’ with T.O.S. and ‘All The Reasons Why’ introduce rubbery bass slaps, rich stabs, and infectious vocals to keep the energy high. To close, the blissful ‘I’ve Been Here All Along’ combines hazy melodies with Tiffany Pontes’ silky vocals, before wrapping up proceedings via ‘This Life’ – a heady closing production that sees Rocco excellently flex his house muscles.

A body of work rich in classy collaborations and slick solo production, ‘Life In Pieces’ delivers a blissful journey through Rocco’s rich sound palette, revealing the most in-depth project of his career while marking his long-awaited debut on FUSE in style.

New London club Orange Yard announces re-opening line-ups

Tickets: https://ra.co/clubs/176870
Dates: May – October

Mike Dunn, Kevin de Vries, Brina Knauss, Chelina Manuhutu all scheduled

Nestled away in the backstreets of London’s bustling Soho district is Orange Yard. It is a personal and intimate club set to bring something utterly fresh and exciting to the capital with a next-level Funktion One system, specially designed sound treatment, and two atmospheric spaces – the outdoor terrace and a cosy inside dancefloor for 300 people. May 17th marks the much-anticipated re-launch with the likes of Mike Dunn, Viken Arman, Kevin de Vries, Briana Knauss and Chelina Manuhutu all supplying the sounds this season.

Orange Yard is all set to become the new home for proper house music in London. Bucking the trend for large super clubs, the compact and stylish venue offers something for those who prefer more snug club experiences. As well as an all-new terrace, it has a cosy 300 capacity club space that will cover all styles from deep to Chicago, organic to soulful.

The intimate inside club boasts a bespoke eight-piece Funktion One Soundsystem with full acoustic treatment that will provide unmatched sound quality across the full breadth of the room. The install was carried out by globally renowned audio experts Sound Services, who have worked with Funktion One on projects at the likes of Glastonbury and Red Bull Culture Clash as well as at sister venue E1. This means you can be sure of an unparalleled audio experience at each and every party.

Having undergone an extensive refurbishment since first launching in 2019, the tasteful contemporary venue is the perfect spot for post-work drinks on the vibey terrace, or for a proper get down in the club. It has futuristic neon lighting and wood-panelled walls that very much take you away from everyday life and into a cocoon of crystal clear, powerful sound.

Say the club, “We are over the moon to be reopening on May 17th for our series of socially distanced shows, featuring international as well as local London talent.  We have recently renovated our Funktion One system to provide unmatched sound clarity across the full breadth of the dance floor, making Orange Yard the perfect space to experience house music in the West End, with an unparalleled sound and musical experience.”

Chief amongst the new season of offerings are headline sets for in-house promotion Night Dreamers. The first comes from house royalty Mike Dunn on July 31st, the Chicago native behind many rough-edged but funky house classics and a thrilling DJ to boot. Frenchman Viken Arman is another house artist continually pushing boundaries and will do so on July 2nd. French house duo Amine Edge & DANCE.

Bring their hip hop slanted beats, and cutting-edge selector Kevin de Vries also plays for six hours in August and is sure to join the dots between house and techno past and present with his always hypnotic style. Slovenian talent Brina Knauss has achieved widespread notoriety and respect for her DJ skills in a short space of time and will show that when she plays on September 17th, and Dutch-born, Ibiza-based star Chelina Manuhutu will show why she is one house’s hottest properties with her powerful grooves on September 24th.

Between now and the end of summer, brands like Lost Paradiso, Frame, Eastern Grooves, La Dense, Way Out, Oscillate, Deep Into Soul, Care3, Disturbia, Concrete Music, Danza and more will also curate their own special events

The countdown is now on to the most exciting reopening on the London clubbing landscape.

Mixmag Presents Giorgia Angiuli live from Monopoli, Italy – May 13th 2021

“Giorgia Angiuli live from Monopoli, Italy | Turning The Dawn” (presented by Mixmag and produced by PhEST – international festival of photography and arts and the Municipality of Monopoli)

This drops just before her new collaboration with Lithuanian artist Gardens of God titled “Love The Noise”, out on her United imprint on May 14th.

Giorgia Angiuli is not only a classically trained musician, electronic producer and international live act, who has toured the world’s most prestigious music festivals, but a passionate advocate for her South Italian home town, Monopoli. To share its spectacular beauty with the wider world, on May 13th at 1900 CET, she will play a live set from this ‘little rock in the sea, at dawn.’ The whole region, Apulia, is famous for the intensity of the sun and ‘the stories written by the sea’ under its light.

Giorgia employs unique toy instruments and synthesizers to move fluidly between indie and melodic techno, as her voice creates a dreamy dimension. So there is the sound: the place: the time, dawn, symbol of hope: and the perfect partner, PhHEST, the international festival of photography and arts which since 2016 has enhanced Monopoli with fabulous colour.

PhHEST showcases photography, cinema, music, art, and multimedia collaborations from the Mediterranean, so this livestream also heralds their post-pandemic revival this summer (Aug.6th – Nov. 1st 2021).

Monopoli has become a tourist magnet, but to Giorgia, who grew up with her mother’s photos of her own 60’s summers in the city, this livestream is a tribute to her mother’s memory as well as a celebration of her town.

Don’t miss this unique show and watch it here:

Artist: El Mundo & Zazou
Title: Merchant Of Tales EP
Label: Quetame Records
Cat: Q01
Format: Digital, vinyl
Release Date: April 29th 2021

Buy link: https://quetame.fanlink.to/quetamerecords

El Mundo & Zazou debut with their label project and first vinyl release called ‘Merchant Of Tales EP’. The four tracks pressed on wax reveal a meditative and smooth deep house, with a contempory and modern approach to the sounds. That’s a nice challenge for the two artists, expecially in these hard times: they’re not new in the electronic music scene, surely they have in the pipeline many other interesting releases.
