The Rapture’s Gabriel Andruzzi Preps Release for Throne of Blood

NYC label Throne of Blood will soon be releasing the debut solo effort from one of its owners, DJ Druzz vs. Omega Mus. Believe it or not, that’s the peculiar moniker by which The Rapture‘s Gabriel Andruzzi has elected to be known. The EP is entitled Apeman (artwork above), and its title track is an extended bit of oddball tech-house. Set for a March 19 release, the four-track EP will include remixes from Bohemian Groove (a new outfit composed of members of Jokers of the Scene and Renaissance Man) and techno veteran Monty Luke, along with “More Fucking Apes,” another original from DJ Druzz vs. Omega Mus.

T. Williams “Malfunction”

After first appearing on Enchufada with the excellent “Getting Mine” single back in 2010, London producer T. Williams will be returning to the label with a new EP later this month, Can We (artwork above). While the six-track release is said to be “eclectic,” “Malfunction” seems aligned with the kind of sharply crafted, dancefloor-aimed productions Williams has steadily impressed us with over the past two years. The tune finds the British beatmaker marrying the vocal-heavy approach of past songs like “Heartbeat” with the harder-edged, low-end-heavy sounds of his more recent singles, yet the unexpected combination does nothing to mitigate the impact; if anything, it enhances the track’s club-heater potential. You can check the full tracklist for the forthcoming EP, which drops March 19, after the jump. (via Spin)

Can We EP:
01 Can We ft. Terri Walker
02 Synthia
03 Malfunction feat. Alix (Radio Mix)
04 30 Degree

Distal Readies Full-Length for Tectonic

Atlanta producer and recent podcast contributor Distal has announced plans to release an LP for Pinch’s Tectonic imprint, and has shared a stream of the monstrous track “Gorilla” to help spread the word. Judging from this single preview, it seems—appropriately enough—that Distal is not afraid to dip into decidedly darker and more dense territory for his Tectonic debut, and considering the breadth of sounds and styles the Southern producer has managed to cover in just over a year of prolific output, we’re inclined to expect an ambitiously wide-ranging full-length. Civilization drops April 30, but in the meantime, you can check the artwork and tracklist while listening to the aforementioned “Gorilla,” below.

01 The Sun
02 Feed Me
03 Preach On Hustle
04 Around The Fire
05 Venom
06 Rattlesnake
07 House Party Five
08 Drop Like This
09 Gorilla

One of the UK’s most beloved outfits, Hot Chip has announced it will release its fifth LP, In Our Heads, this year via Domino.

You can check out the tracklist for Hot Chip’s In Our Heads before then, below.

1. Motion Sickness
2. How Do You Do

San Gabriel “Gore Text”

Mountain rave. That’s the term one-time Pit Er Pat co-founder Butchy Fuego has conjured up to describe the music he’s creating for his new solo project, San Gabriel. After several years spent largely in the background, drumming with the likes of Boredoms, Nite Jewel, Lucky Dragons, and Rainbow Arabia while also jumping in the studio with a diverse array of artists like Julia Holter, Sun Araw, These Are Powers, and Nguzunguzu, Fuego will be striking out on his own with VOLFE, the debut San Gabriel LP that’s scheduled to drop in May via the rapidly expanding Time No Place imprint. “Gore Text” is the first taste of what San Gabriel has to offer, and it’s an ominously lurching production powered by cinematic melodies, thick bass tones, stuttering drum patterns, and spooky vibes. Listening to the track, Fuego’s time spent with Nguzunguzu is readily apparent, although the music of San Gabriel is less manic—albeit no less weird—than that of his friends in the Fade to Mind-affiliated duo. This weekend, San Gabriel will be making its live debut in Palm Springs as part of the Time No Place: Label Weekend at the Ace Hotel. If the rest of his tunes sound anything like “Gore Text,” people will be hitting the road and heading to the desert in droves.

Humans “De Ciel (Max Ulis Remix)”

Next week, Vancouver duo Humans will release the Traps EP, the debut offering from the newly launched Hybridity label. (For those taking notes at home, the folks at Hybridity are also behind Vancouver’s New Forms Festival, which we visited—and thoroughly enjoyed—last year.) Now, the Hybridity team has stepped into the label game, and has elected to introduce itself by passing along this remix of first single “De Ciel.” The original version—which can be streamed/downloaded here—pairs the slightly gravelly vocals of Humans’ Robbie Slade with gliding synth melodies, a subtle 4/4 rhythm, and a bouncy bassline. It’s a bit reminiscent of Junior Boys, though the vocals ultimately give the music a different sort of vibe. Here, we have an alternate take on “De Ciel” from Vancouver bass patron Max Ulis, who utilizes only warped remnants of Slade’s vocals while constructing something deeper, a production punctuated by vaguely Eastern melodies, clacking percussion, and punchy bass stabs. It’s an impressive first outing for the young imprint, one that’s been enhanced by the remix’s accompanying video, a clip assembled by Hybridity founder Malcolm Levy and described as, “a collection of other-frames footage shot in Istanbul, New York, Sao Paulo, Vancouver, and Tofino.” The video can be viewed after the jump.

Soosh “Us (Jameszoo Remix)”

Glasgow’s Soosh is prepping his second EP, SoFar (artwork above), for a March 19 release on Dutch imprint Fremdtunes. As one of the handful of remixes commissioned for the record, Jameszoo‘s take on “Us” pulses gloomily through a collision of vocal samples and clicking percussion that recalls the act of reloading a gun on your favorite videogame. That gun sound is no random fluke, as you can even hear a “fatal quack” sample from Duck Hunt interspersed in the remix’s brooding, downtempo beats. Check out the tracklist for SoFar, and preview each of its tunes, after the jump.

A1. Us
A2. Us (Jameszoo Remix)
A3. Us (Greenwood Sharps Remix)
B1. Everything you say
B2. Speechless
B3. Speechless (Kelpe Remix)
