Prins Thomas Inaugurates ‘Rainbow Disco Club’ Mix Series

Prins Thomas has been tapped to deliver the first in a new mix series allied with the annual Rainbow Disco Club festival in Tokyo. Since launching in 2010, the festival has hosted a slew of international favorites, with Moodymann, the Hessle Audio crew, and DJ Koze headlining its most recent edition alongside Prins Thomas.

beGun “Mumbai”

Hailing from the increasingly fertile city of Barcelona, budding producer beGun has spent the past 12 months sharing songs inspired, in one way or another, by specific locations around the globe. “Mumbai” is the latest such effort, a cascading electronic hybrid which sews together bowed strings, flowing pads, melodic vocal chops, and a bevy of real-world percussion. Stretched across some more traditional bits of skittering drum programming, “Mumbai” is rich with melody and movement, serving as another ambitious example of the kind of productions we can expect from beGun’s debut LP, expected to drop in the closing months of 2014.

Ben Sims Announces Final Release for Theory, Taps Marcel Dettmann, DVS1, Luke Slater, and Surgeon for Remixes

After nearly two decades in operation, veteran producer Ben Sims has announced the conclusion of his long-running Theory imprint and detailed its final release, which enlists remixes from four fellow techno heavyweights. Since its inception back in ’97, Sims says, the label has moved in “a full circle that’s gone through three different decades, survived two distributors going bust, and is now musically the strongest it’s ever been, so it feels time to call it a day and finish on a high.”

Theory of Completion, due out as a triple-vinyl release in early fall, spans eight original tracks from the London-based artist and XLR8Rpodcast alum himself that reflect on the progression of the label. Also included are remixes from Marcel Dettmann, DVS1, Luke Slater (a.k.a. Planetary Assault Systems), and Surgeon, all appearing on the label for the first (and final) time. The compilation is slated to see an official release on September 8, and its lengthy full tracklist and artwork have been included below.

12″ 1:
A1: Ben Sims “Dream State” (Marcel Dettmann Remix)
A2: Ben Sims “Peace of Mind”
B1: Ben Sims “Samurai”
B2: Ben Sims “Tough Groover”

12″ 2:
A1: Ben Sims “The Fear” (Planetary Assault Systems Remix)
A2: Ben Sims “Rejection”
B1: Ben Sims “Samurai” (DVS1 Theory Tribute Remix)
B2: Ben Sims “Wreck Up”

12″ 3:
A1: Ben Sims “Neurosis” (Surgeon Remix)
A2: Ben Sims “The Terrors”
B1: Ben Sims “The Fear”
B2: Ben Sims “Dream State”

Hear Another Track from Lemonade’s Upcoming LP for Cascine

NYC trio Lemonade are set to return with its sophomore LP later this summer. After announcing details and sharing the lead single from Minus Tide last month, the outfit has now unveiled the record’s second single, “Orchid Bloom.” Like “Stepping,” Lemonade’s newly surfaced cut again sees the former XLR8Rpodcast contributors melding traits of contemporary club music with emotive synth-pop. Spanning just under four minutes, “Orchid Bloom” is an uptempo affair which folds a bevy of percussion into its rich assemblage of hi-fi synth tones and sneaking melodies. The track can be streamed in full below before Minus Tide lands on September 9 via Cascine.

Lil Silva Revisits His Childhood in New Video for “Mabel”

Last month, London producer Liil Silva shared the details of his forthcomingMabel EP, an announcment which was paired with a stream of the record’s vocal-led title cut. Now, with the effort’s release still a month away, a new video has surfaced for the hazy, pop-leaning EP cut. A somewhat somber production on its own, the video for “Mabel” (directed by Laura Coulson) is intended as a “subtle homage to Silva’s grandmother Mabel, whom the song was about,” as it reimagines a few key memories from the producer’s own childhood.

Lil Silva’s full Mabel EP—which includes a pair of collaborations with LA vocalist Banks—will see its official release on August 4 via Good Years/True Panther. In the meantime, the clip for the record’s title track can be watched below.

Check Out Matrixxman’s Remix of Hard Ton

Recent XLR8Rpodcast contributor Matrixxman is one of three production outfits tasked with remixing “We Got Luv,” an upcoming chord-led single from Italy’s Hard Ton duo. Set to drop in September via San Francisco label Friends With Benefits (an imprint who puts a “special focus on queer-identified talent”), the We Got Luv 12″ will offer the original track alongside remixes from Severino & Hifi Sean, Roctiv, and Soo Wavey co-head Matrixxman, whose jacking take on the track is streaming in full below. The vinyl edition of the 12″ will eventually be followed by a special digital release of We Got Luv later this year, which will include a second remix from Matrixxman along with another original effort from Hard Ton.

In anticipation of the release, the Italian pair will also be heading Stateside for a brief West Coast tour, the full dates for which can be found on the flier below; more information can be found here.

Fran Seven “Son”

“Son” comes to us from Fran Seven‘s recent Ripples in Time EP, a five-track effort which dropped via Applescal’s Atomnation imprint last week. Serving as the record’s second cut, “Son” is a dense, midtempo effort which employs sharp drum programming and thick layers of intertwining synth work. Spanning just over four minutes, the track finds the Dutch artist patiently revealing new dimensions to his production, as subtle melodic lines and textured percussion are allowed to gently rise to surface. Out now, Fran Seven’s full Ripples in Time EP can be streamed after the jump.

Fina Fisken “Save the Day (Cherushii Remix)”

San Francisco producer Cherushii (pictured above) has been enlisted to rework “Save the Day,” the lead single from Fina Fisken‘s upcoming release for the freshly launched Strange Paradise label. Extending the track to a spacious eight-plus minutes, Cherushii—who issued her own Queen of Cups EP via 100% Silk late last year—runs Fisken’s original through a lattice of hardware, opening up the track’s glacial textures while digging deeper into its four-on-the-floor rhythms, adding layers of jacking hats and reverb-washed hits to the dreamy procession.
