Stream New Remixes by Hieroglyphic Being and patten from an Upcoming All Saints Compilation

Since its founding in 1991, the All Saints label has been at the fore of experimental music. Now, it’s releasing Greater Lengths, a two-disc compilation, with one disc featuring previously unreleased originals from the likes of Brian Eno and Roedelius, and another disc with modern reworks courtesy of more dancefloor-focused artists. As a teaser, the label is streaming two reworks: Hieroglyphic Being‘s loose and live interpretation of Roedelius’ “Remember” and patten‘s smeared techno rework of Jon Hassel’s “Metal Fatigue.”

All Saints’ forthcoming compilation—which includes additional remixes from Bee Mask, Gavin Russom, and Bandshell, among others—is out on June 3. Before then, Hieroglyphic Being’s and patten’s adventurous contributions to the collection can be streamed in full below.

Tielsie “Hueboy”

French newcomer Tielsie will soon drop his Hueboy EP, a free release that includes remixes from Pheonix-based DJ Clap and Donky Pitch affiliate Tokyo Hands. Featured here, the EP’s sole original cut by Tielsie—also titled “Hueboy”—begins with interchanging elastic bass and rapid hi-hat patterns, which are used to accent the track’s increasingly accelerated beats which rise and drop in steep blocks. In addition to the free download below, a full stream of Tielsie’s upcoming Hueboy EP has been provided after the jump.

Radio Slave Announces Upcoming ‘Werk’ EP

Coming just behind his new record for Nonplus+, industrious producer and Rekids co-founder Radio Slave (a.k.a. Matt Edwards) has announced a forthcoming EP for the Work Them label. The press release for the upcoming Werk EP explains that the record’s two full productions will “take simple vocal samples and cast-iron grooves, and stretch them drum-skin tight.” Furthermore, Werk will also include acapella versions of each track, which the EP’s announcement claims makes “for irresistible DJ play.”

Radio Slave’s Werk EP is set to see a release on June 2, but before then, the full tracklist and artwork for the upcoming effort can be peeped below.

Check Out Gui Boratto’s Live Set for Beats in Space

Fresh off a North American and European tour, Kompakt mainstay Gui Boratto paid a visit to WNYU last night to perform a super suave live set for Beats in Space. During the course of the hour-long performance, Boratto begins in a more minimalist vein before opening up to lighter and more playful grooves that are intermittently cut by colder spurts of mechanical techno beats.

The set concludes with a brief interview between Boratto and BIS host Tim Sweeney, which finds the Brazilian producer/DJ discussing forthcoming music, his new D.O.C. label, and a bit about his production process. Gui Boratto’s wide-ranging live set for Beats in Space can be streamed and downloaded in full below.

DJ F “Lightyear”

DJ F (a.k.a. Flavio Tortora) may have landed on one of the world’s least Google-able names, but that plays right into his unpretentious, for-the-heads underground persona. 1974, his forthcoming release, out May 19 via A Harmless Deed, sees the Spanish producer ease into an atmospheric deep house vein that bares a resemblance to the psychedelic textures and out-there aesthetic of East Coast underdogs Joey Anderson and Fred P. Closing out DJ F’s forthcoming release, “Lightyear” is heavily steeped in an ethereal quality, with hypnotic swirls and phasing pads that whoosh above a no-nonsense hi-hat patter serving as the heart of the production.

LV and Joshua Idehen Prep New Single for Keysound; Hear it Now

It’s been almost exactly three years since Routes, the exceptional collaborative LP from London production outfit LV and UK poet/vocalist Joshua Idehen, landed. Now, the three artists have announced plans to release a new batch collaborative work, first dropping a new single next month with plans to issue a second album together later this year.

Set to see a release via Keysound on May 16, the “Imminent” single finds LV crafting a slinking, percussion-heavy slice of UKG, on top of which Idehen launches into a cautioning tale inspired by the “the real-life whisperings” he overheard in Hackney following the shooting of a young man. The trio’s new single can be streamed in full below, and more details of the outfit’s—ahem—imminent second collaborative LP are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.

Pye Corner Audio Announces Split LP with Not Waving; Hear Two Tracks Now

A name some may recognize from his contribution to John Talabot’s DJ-Kicks mix from last year, British producer Pye Corner Audio will release a split LP alongside London’s Not Waving in June. Set to appear on the Ecstatic label, the upcoming Intercepts album will feature four productions from each artist. Said to take much of its inspiration from “the world of espionage,” the eight-track LP will offer a variety of electronic forms across its run including “dreamlike industrial techno, impressionist synth burbles, fragmented post-modern ambient, and cosmic sci-fi adventure.”

Before the pair’s split LP sees an official release on June 14, a contribution from each producer—Pye Corner Audio’s “Perfect Secrecy Forever” and Not Waving’s “Protect the Revolution”—can be streamed below, where Intercepts‘ full tracklist has also been included.

Pye Corner Audio
01 Perfect Secrecy Forever
02 Twisted Wire Pair
03 Shared Secret Key
04 One Time Pad

Not Waving
01 Protect the Revolution
02 Two-Way Mirror
03 Enemies Of The People
04 Like Shooting Fish In A Barrel

Prism House “Soft Spot”

Yesterday saw the release of Landfall, the latest EP from New York’s Prism House. As a teaser, the experimental duo has provided “Soft Spot,” a chaotic piece that strikes a paradoxically meditative tone in its jumble of cut-up melodic samples, assembly line rhythms, and disembodied voices. In other words, its three-and-a-half minutes offer a perfect introduction to the outfit’s increasingly avant-garde take on electronic music. Out now, the pair’s latest record is available to stream in full after the jump.

Video Premiere: Deft “Emeralds”

Following the release of his Always Greener EP last month via Wotnot (a record which can be streamed in full here), Croydon-based producer Deft has unveiled a new video for EP cut “Emeralds.” Directed by Jack Carmelo & Thomas Rafferty, the purposefully disorienting video begins with rapid cuts of an intoxicated twenty-something stumbling around his apartment, the street, and various locales, all the while trying to find a specific girl amidst a sea of masked partygoers. His drunken state is only heightened by the track’s hypnotic low-end and footwork-oriented rhythms, which come laced with a series of effervescent synth arpeggios. As the video nears its end, the young man finally finds the companion he’s been searching for, only to find her completely passed out (or possibly dead), as Deft’s mesmerizing production comes to a close.
