NEW MUSIC]: MATTHEW DEAR'S 'BLACK CITY' (ALBUM + TOTEM)

August 3, 2010



Matthew Dear’s third album Black City is the culmination of years of hard work and experimentation, a darkly playful sound-world that envelops the listener like the arms of a malevolent lover. After over a decade of exploring pop’s outer limits, Matthew Dear now inhabits a rarefied corner of the musical universe: no longer tethered to any one genre, respected by his peers, and blessed with a bottomless well of creative energy. Now is Matthew Dear’s moment, and it sounds like nothing else.
Black City is now available everywhere digitally, and will be available in physical formats (CD / LP / Totem) exclusively at The Ghostly Store through August 17th. Buy Matthew Dear’s Black City now.
The MDBC Totem is an exploration into the physicality of music in the digital era, conceived by Will Calcutt and designed by the award-winning Boym Partners. It’s also a damn fine piece of sculpture: hand-cast in aluminum, finished in gun-metal patina, and individually inscribed with a unique code to both stream and download Black City.

Matt Edwards, better known by his moniker Radio Slave, is heading up the next instalment in the Strictly Rhythms series.
A former Londoner relocated to Berlin, he is known for his gracefully hypnotic DJ sets behind the decks at the world’s most renowned dance floors including Space (Ibiza), Berghain (Berlin) or Fabric (London). He also heads up the highly acclaimed Rekids label and has produced a string of fantastic tracks.


His deep house and techno productions typically have a distinct ‘90s flavour, full of delicate and unobvious references to the beginnings of dance music. It was this love of early house that attracted him to mix the next in the Strictly Rhythms series. The legendary New York label gave him full access to their deepest vaults and he dived right in. In fact he went further and even paid homage to New York with a ‘Downtown’ and ‘Uptown’ mix, reflecting the diverse sounds of the city. The result is Radio Slave’s own interpretation of the imprint’s finest and undiscovered moments.
“I have loved Strictly material for years” says Matt of his interest in taking part in the project. “Their tracks are pivotal, some of them make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! So the records I chose for this mix are the ones I’d still play when I’m out. It wasn’t a case of just doing a Strictly compilation”.

Radio Slave

The Downtown version is a stripped down, slower after-party style mix with a much mellower vibe. “With this mix I wanted to bring some of the lesser known Strictly releases to the mixing desk; tracks like Felix Da Housecat’s ‘Lippstikk’ and also the beautiful Marshall Jefferson produced ‘Needs(Not Wants)’. I also had to include an Ultra Nate track and chose ‘Situation Critical’ which has always had a special place in my heart as does the timeless and stunning ‘All Night Long’ by Mood II Swing. Armand Van Helden also appears as The Mole People with ‘Ocean’ and what a record. I've not stopped playing this 12" since I bought it back in 1995 and it's probably even more popular now than ever - that's why you gotta love Strictly Rhythm”.

The Uptown mix is a much more upbeat pumping sound typical of the mid 90s dance floor club vibe and much more inspired by the Strictly 12”s that Radio Slave still drops at clubs he plays at around the world. “It’s tracks like The Hard Heads’ ’Demon Dreams’, a massive record in Panorama Bar and The Mole People’s ‘Ocean’ is a huge record in Berlin. A lot of the records on this mix you can still being heard being played out in underground clubs where vinyl culture is still the way to play. They’re not into laptops”.
To give the compilation an even more unique feel, 29 of the tracks included are all his own edits, made to make the mix flow smoothly from track to track. “A lot of these tracks were short in comparison to the ones I produce. I was extending the intro and outro to make the tracks a little more DJ friendly. I just wanted to put my touch on some of the songs and I went through each track to see how they worked. It’s better to think about, listen to the tracks, work out the length, and see how they work in the mix.

“The catalogue is just so rich and diverse and full of such emotional and deep music that I'm still having as much pleasure listening to the tracks now as when they were first released!”

Re: Forthcoming releases

Woo hoo! Feels like ages since the last Terry's Cafe.

This summer the Terry’s Café compilation should be named Terry’s Coffee maybe? – Just kidding. But Terry Lee Brown Junior and Plastic City wanted to do something different this year and decided to release a double CD package with two different tech house styles: Mild Roast and Strong Roast – Mild Roast for pleasure and Strong Roast for character. In the Mild Roast DJ-Mix Terry presents gentle tracks with the right flavor it needs to work on the dancefloor too. Effected by a joyfully looseness the mix swings between breezy fulfillment and jazzy liberality. Therefore tracks by Paralelles, Tini, Aland Byallo, J. Axel, Aki Bergen, Basti Pieper, Kruse & Nuernberg, Gorge, Tojami Sessions, Greg Parker, The Timewriter, Lukas Greenberg feat. Nica Brooke and Martin Buttrich give their best. Terry Lee Brown Junior created a well balanced DJ-Mix that is as agile and clever like a cat. The Strong Roast DJ-Mix goes straight forward right from the beginning. It enfolds its rich aroma a bit more with every tune and ends in a culmination of different ingredients. The tracks by Krogmann, Fog, Smalltown Collective, Carlo, Chopstick & Johnjon feat. Fritz Kalkbrenner, Basti Pieper, Sami Wentz, Fapples, Addex, Steve Lawler, Gene, Helmut Dubnitzky and Fred Hush have enough personality to create a really special mood controlled by the hands of Terry Lee Brown Junior. So the new episode of Terry’s Café is another highlight on Plastic City.


Terry's Cafe 13 Mild Roast
01 Parall les - Eclosion (Nikosf Loves The Zone Remix)

Sei A _ White Rainbow


Andy Graham, AKA Sei A is set to release a new album this November called White Rainbow.

The Glasgow-based producer has been putting out records for the past five years or so, alternating between his own name and the monikers Droido and Sei A (which, according to a press release, is pronounced "Say A"). Whichever guise he chooses, Graham tends to focus on dark and melodic house and techno, with occasional excursions into dubstep (such as last year's white label remix of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life"). White Rainbow will be his second LP so far as Sei A, following his 2008 effort Editing Shadows, a record RA's Noah Barron described as "evocative of Lemon Jelly's deeper dance moments." The album will see release on Tiga's Turbo Recordings imprint.

Tracklist
01. White Rainbow
02. Sweet Lies
03. Little One Song
04. Flicker
05. Flylo
06. Rebel Without a Cause
07. Audio Roots interlude
08. Who Dares Wins
09. Out of Reason
10. Stars
11. Little Star Interlude
12. Body Of Eyes
13. Meth II

Turbo will release Sei A's White Rainbow on November 8th, 2010.

Re: Forthcoming releases

Senior is a forthcoming instrumental album from Norwegian duo Röyksopp, set for release on 13 September 2010. The album has been described as an introspective, withdrawn, atmospheric counterpart to energetic Junior. Röyksopp described the album as having an "autumn mood" to it, while Junior had a "spring feel". In an interview with KCRW, Svein Berge likened Senior to "the senile sibling of Junior who lives in the attic." The Alcoholic has been described by the band as a "nostalgic idea based on this hobo who hitchhikes on trains and travels from place to place."
"The Drug" has been released as a 1-track promotional single from the album on 9 August 2010 via Dog Triumph label. Music video directed by That Go (Noel Paul & Stefan Moore) was released online on 3 September 2010. A short film directed by the same duo will be released soon.


01. ...And The Forest Began To Sing (01:50)
02. Tricky Two (07:51)
03. The Alcoholic (05:11)
04. Senior Living (05:10)
05. The Drug (05:5
06. Forsaken Cowboy (05:2
07. The Fear (07:02)

Re: Forthcoming releases



Thievery Corporation' will release a retrospective collection, It Takes a Thief, next month to mark 15 years of their production partnership.

Widely renowned as one of the most successful downtempo acts, Thievery Corporation came together when Rob Garza and Eric Hilton met at Eighteenth Street Lounge in 1995 and quickly formed a musical partnership over a shared admiration for '60s bossa music. After forming Thievery Corporation and inking their own indie label, Eighteenth Street Lounge Music, their debut album, Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi, was released in 1997. Containing worldly influences of bossa nova, dub and latin percussion, Sounds... is considered a classic of the downtempo/trip hop era, amongst work by similarly defining acts like Massive Attack and Portishead. Four studio albums followed, including most recent LP Radio Retaliation in 2008, as did remix albums, various DJ mixes and soundtrack work.

The compilation's 16 tracks have been selected by Garza and Hilton to appeal to both longtime fans and new listeners. These include their collaboration with Afrobeat heir Femi Kuti, "Vampires," the reggae inclined "Warning Shots" with Sleepy Wonder, crossover hit "Lebanese Blonde," and an exclusive unreleased track "The Passing Stars" featuring late jazz chanteuse Pam Bricker. It Takes a Thief will be released ahead of a forthcoming winter US tour, and a new Thievery Corporation album in 2011.

Tracklist:
01. Amerimacka
02. Lebanese Blonde
03. Facing East
04. Holographic Universe
05. Shadows of Ourselves
06. Sound the Alarm
07. Until the Morning
08. Sweet Tides
09. Satyam Shivam Sundaram
10. All That We Perceive
11. Air Batucada
12. Exilio (Rewound)
13. Vampires
14. Warning Shots
15. The Richest Man in Babylon
16. The Pasing Stars

Eighteenth Street Lounge will releaseIt Takes A Thiefon November 15th.

01. Big Mind
02. Synchronicity
03. Unforgettable
04. Zen
05. Modern Times
06. Introduce Me
07. Daedalus
08. Beneath
09. In The Spirit
10. Spend Some Time


The production team of Florian Schirmacher and Helmut Ebritsch are weathered veterans of the vast electronic field. Florian’s production history covers many bases and collaborations, having started with Guido Schneider under the Glowing Glisses alias for his 2003 debut album, Silver Surfer, on Berlin’s Poker Flat imprint. Since then he has founded Wareika, Federleicht, Here Today and of course Hatikvah working with labels like Cadenza, Vakant, Liebe Detail, Buzzin Fly and Morris Audio to name but a few. Helmut is also one half the acclaimed Klartaum outfit, along with Nadja Lind. His solid contributions to the Klartraum releases have pushed them from strength to strength over the course of their productions. Helmut, also known throughout the electronic world for his skilful mastering technique, balances this duo with complete precision. Both artists work on lyrics and production, but the signing is left solely to Florian. Their sound is distinctly dub influenced, yet balances the soulful edge of the lyrics and chords with the dance-floor framed beats – a clever and fascinating combination, that allows them create their own spiritual dimension to a view of their idealistic future.
Synchronicity opens with Big Mind, a murky and introverted overture to Hatikvah’s debut album. Deeply dubby and mellow throughout, washing pads mingle happily with gentile chords and wandering percussion. Set on the sea front it paints a picture of serenity, thought and evaluation – asking questions of the Big Heart and Big Mind, the conection between the two and the balance in their production of sound and soul. Both are present and validated in Big Mind. The album title track, Synchronicity, sings soul from its depths. Heavyweight sub- sonics rise from the bass and warmth emanates from the delicate and understated synth work, allowing Florian’s profound, yet wanting lyrics to glide through with ease along with the cries of the evening Lark – fly away with me. At a mammoth thirteen and a half minutes long, Unforgettable is anything but. A sombre and heartfelt tale of lost love treads a meandering path through jazz influenced keys and chords. A higher tempo than previous outings, the pace is kept with clever and intuitive sequence changes that are subtle and soft on the ear. Zen then takes the tempo down and with it the heart rate. Great delays carry the keys and percussive elements off way in to the distance, creating a rich sonic environment from which slight and dainty percussion emerges.
Modern Times is given a complete refurbishment from the track originally released on the Suol imprint. Being one of the more dance-floor orientated tracks on the album, it carries solid rhythm, but retains a deep feeling found throughout the Synchronicity album. Following on, Introduce Me steps things up a gear and grows intensity. Daedalus brings us back down to earth with a beautifully crafted and emotive piece of music which brings playful connotations of lullabies and slumber through Florian’s solo Rhodes play. Beneath brings a combination of optimistic chords and vocals that sit amongst intelligent percussion and fx use. In The Spirit, the first single from the album, which includes Deepchord remixes, has a slightly more aggressive and rasping bass. Whispered vocals add more of a rhythmic effect than in previous tracks and allow space in the mix where everything has its place. Possibly the busiest track on the album, Spend Some Time brings close with layered vocals, guitars and several basslines. Together, it blends perfectly.
An album that is deep and intense in places, yet greenly optimistic in others, Hatikvah’s Synchronicity is undoubtedly one of the LP highlights of 2010.

David Rodigan to Mix the Next FABRICLIVE

Looks like London's Fabric club and mix series is getting back to its roots for a change—roots reggae, that is. For FABRICLIVE 54, DJ, MC, and all-around character David "Ram Jam" Rodigan will be inside the place, handling all selector duties with a choice mix of classic dub, dancehall, and other soundsystem-appropriate reggae. On his track selections, Rodigan says, "I deliberately avoided the obvious tracks which have appeared repeatedly on reggae compilation albums over the years. Fabric the club and Fabric the record label is at the cutting edge of music, and so I wanted to uphold that legacy with my album." FABRICLIVE 54: David Rodigan will be released on November 29, and will be preceded by a launch party at Fabric on October 22. You can check out the party details here, and the mix tracklist below. We also tossed in our favorite "Ram Jam" video clip down there, just for fun.
