Laurent Garnier Announces Another EP

Earlier this month, longtime French techno standout Laurent Garnier followed his announcement of a new record for Chicago’s Still Music label with news of a forthcoming EP for Modeselektor’s 50Weapons imprint. Apparently, those aren’t the only releases Garnier had up his sleeve, as the veteran DJ/producer has shared the details of another new EP, which will arrive via Fugelance’s Musique Large label next month. In fact, Garnier is said to have five total releases slated for the coming months for a project billed as ” five releases, five labels, five styles, all Garnier.” A13, the upcoming EP for Musique Large, will be the second record released in that series, and is said to take a departure from the sound Garnier is best known for—instead offering four tracks of “electronic hip-hop… or simply beat music.”

Laurent Garnier’s A13 EP will drop on March 24 with remixes from Fugelance and a number of other Musique Large affiliates. In the meantime, the record’s artwork and tracklist are included below.

01 Revenge of The Lol Cat
02 Wise Words For No-Lie Gucamoles
03 The Rise & Fall of the Donky Dog
04 Dinosaurs are gone
05 Revenge of The Lol Cat (Fulgeance Remix)
06 Dinosaurs are gone (S3A’s Ravist Remix)
07 Wise Words For No-Lie Gucamoles (Claude Remix)
08 Revenge of The Lol Cat (Baron Retif & Concepcion Perez Remix)
09 Dinosaurs are gone (S3A’s Ravist Original Extended Remix) [Bonus Track]

Video Premiere: Fulgeance “Raw (Funky Bijou Remix)”

After rounding off a prolific 2013, industrious French producer Fulgeance was quick to kick off 2014 with the Step-Thru Remixes compilation, released via the rx:tx label last month. Pulled from that collection, Funky Bijou‘s remix of Step-Thru cut “Raw” has received a proper video treatment. The picturesque clip directed by Yoann Motwo, features one B.Boy Shawne breaking in an abandoned junkyard to the remix’s staggered pulse, staying in perfect harmony with the hip-hop-imbued rhythms as embellished by Funky Bijou.

Watch Night Slugs’ Boiler Room Takeover with Bok Bok, L-Vis 1990, and More

The consistently forward-thinking team of DJs and producers over at the Night Slugs camp took over a recent edition of Boiler Room, unleashing a handful of sets from label newcomers and a back-to-back session by label heads Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990. In addition to the co-owners’ hour-long performance, UK artists Deamonds, Neana, and Girl Unit (who appeared under his Hysterics moniker) each delivered a powerful set of next-level house and techno that night, all of which can be watched and heard here. We’ve embedded the Bok Bok B2B L-Vis 1990 set below.

The Juan Maclean to Drop New 12″

Last year, longtime DFA affiliate The Juan Maclean began what he described as a “dancefloor trilogy,” issuing both “You Are My Destiny” and “Feel Like Movin,” the latter of which appeared on a split 12″ with labelmate Shit Robot. Next week, he’ll complete the three-song journey with another new single, “Get Down (With My Love).” An edit of the track debuted at NPR (and can be streamed/downloaded below), but the full version of the tune, which features regular collaborator Nancy Whang on vocals, will be released on February 18 in both digital and vinyl formats. The artwork for “Get Down (With My Love)” is also below, and though this latest outing offers only a single new song, it’s worth noting that a new Juan Maclean album is apparently being prepped for a summer 2014 release.

Download a Five-Hour Mix of Soul Music from Floating Points

Last month, the second installment of Floating Points‘ You’re a Melody night took over London’s Plastic People club, and for the second time, the UK producer/DJ/label head has shared a recording of the “soul from around the world” that was played that night. Back in November of last year, the first You’re a Melody session yielded a four-hour mix from Floating Points and his friends, but this time around, we’re treated to five hours of soul-drenched audio courtesy of the night’s curator and NYC selector DJ Love on the Run.

Five hours of You’re a Melody’s resulting performances (it would have been six, had the recording device not broken just before the final hour) can be streamed in full via the player below, and downloaded for free here.

Maya Jane Coles Readies Deluxe Version of ‘Comfort’, Previews New Music

The day after she announced a remix EP featuring productions from the likes of Kowton, Dark Sky, and Bonobo, breakout house artist Maya Jane Coles has sent over details of the forthcoming deluxe version of her debut LP Comfort, as well as a preview of some of the never-before-heard music it will offer. Coles’ new version of her first album will be available on vinyl and digital formats as of March 24, and will arrive complete with five new tracks, three of which are previously unreleased. “Stand Still” is one such production, and is available to preview in the player embedded below, before the UK DJ/producer’s own I/AM/ME label drops the deluxe edition of Comfort next month.

Shlohmo & Jeremih “No More”

Following the success of last year’s “Bo Peep (Do U Right)” collaboration, LA beatmaker Shlohmo (pictured above) and R&B crooner Jeremih have been getting together in the studio once again, and reportedly have a joint EP on the way. “No More,” which debuted over at NPR, is the first new tune to emerge from those sessions, and it finds Shlohmo chopping up (and occasionally pitch-shifting) Jeremih’s dulcet tones while constructing rhythms that employ a darker, more twisted sound palette than we’ve come to expect from the Wedidit boss. Official release information has yet to surface, but it’s safe to say that “No More” is only going to ratchet up the anticipation for whatever these two have coming down the pipeline in the months ahead.

Squarepusher Announces Collaborative EP with Japanese Robots

In a bit of surprising news today, Warp has announced a new release arriving soon from label mainstay Squarepusher (a.k.a. Tom Jenkinson), an EP of collaborative pieces composed by the veteran artist and performed by a group of Japanese robots called Z-Machines. The five-song Music for Robots EP is a project which started back in summer of 2013, when Jenkinson was approached by a team of Japanese roboticists and producer Kenjiro Matsuo to write music for their three creations, which resulted in the piece “Sad Robots Go Funny.” After completing the song, all of the parties involved felt that there were more ideas and territory to be explored, so more music was written and recorded. The process, as a press release states, included “an intense four weeks of composing, then two more months of transferring and adapting data, various technical hurdles, and the eventual recording of Music For Robots.”

Squarepusher says of his latest project, “In this project, the main question I’ve tried to answer is ‘Can these robots play music that is emotionally engaging?'” We can find out if he succeeded or not when Music for Robots is released on April 8. Ahead of its arrival, the EP’s artwork and tracklist can be found below, where a video for “Sad Robots Go Funny”—the collaboration’s first finished song—can also be found.

Ricardo Tobar “Excuses Nueva Mezcla”

Adam Marshall‘s New Kanada imprint has announced the forthcoming release of Ambient Parks, an ambitious 17-track compilation that gathers beatless productions from Mike Shannon, The Mole, Ambalance, Jokers of the Scene, and others. To preview the upcoming release (out February 17), Marshall has passed along the appropriately dreamy “Excuses Nueva Mezcla” from Chilean producer Ricardo Tobar. Built around a revolving pattern of glass-like pulses, the brief excursion into cloudy ambience layers faint melodic textures, rendering the composition a simple yet effective slice of atmospheric electronic production. After giving Tobar’s alluring preview of Ambient Parks a spin below, the upcoming collection’s artwork and tracklist can be peeped after the jump.

01 Ambalance “Hydro Lines”
02 Fairmont “Twin Freeks”

Video Premiere: DJ Haus “Hey Now Wait a Minute”

Next week, prolific DJ/producer/label head DJ Haus will drop Space Jams Vol 1, the first in a series of mini EPs set to appear on his Unknown to the Unknown imprint. Naturally, the video for the EP’s opening cut, “Hey Now Wait a Minute,” finds DJ Haus himself manning a spaceship. Directed by UK visual artist Daniel Swan, the clip follows DJ Haus’ journey from a far-off galaxy all the way to earth, allowing for plenty of star-streaked galaxies and spiraling visuals to pass by. In addition to the video above, DJ Haus has also sent over a preview of the upcoming Space Jams Vol 1 EP, which can be streamed in full below before the four-track effort officially drops on February 17.
