Computer Data returns on Shall Not Fade’s sublabel Lost Palms with the lo-fi house ‘Go EP’. All these six tracks arouse a great mood: it’s mellow and trippy, which recall to late night feelings and good old times with the fellas. The introduction of typical loops and samples like in ‘Tonpooleins’, ‘Highball’ and ‘M-type’ gives an oldschool assage, recalling to some of our record vinyls stacked in crates. Notable to mention the title track and ‘Parametric’ with its awesome synth lines and surrounding pads.

Cover Metropolitan Soul Museum - Floaters EP - 1400x1400px

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:

  1. Floaters
  2. Floaters (Iron Curtis Remix)
  3. Birdland
  4. 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:

  1. Patrik Berg – Like Forver (Original)
  2. Patrik Berg – Like Forever (Monika Kruse remix)
  3. 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.

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

Sam Holland ‘Supersonic / Banshee’

Artist: Sam Holland
Title: Supersonic / Banshee
Label: Four Thirty Two
Cat. #: 432R016
Release Date: 4th September 2020
Tracklist:
1) Supersonic
2) Banshee
3) Supersonic (James Solace remix)

Sam Holland is no stranger to Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two label. Having made up one half of Senzala, the duo released a well-received single, the ‘Phase’ EP, and a collaborative release with Jansons, before heading their separate ways. Now on solo ventures, Holland tees up a solid two track single, backed with a remix from James Solace.

‘Supersonic’ finds Holland teasing and filtering a sweet disco loop over a spirited drum pattern, female vox snippets and a rumbling bassline, its breakdown indeed sending this track supersonic!

James Solace follows up his own recent Four Thirty Two release, as well as entries into the Hot Creations and Last Night On Earth arsenal, with a scintillating remix. Keeping the disco vibes very much alive, Solace’s mix doesn’t deviate too much from the original, but it’s a slick and nifty take that adds a superb spin to this release.

‘Banshee’ rolls with punchy percussion and driving force, a track that focuses on the drums in a classic Dub Mix tradition, evoking shades of Dennis Ferrer, Kerri Chandler and the timeless US house style.
