Jon Gurd Releases First EP on TANCK

Jon Gurd is set to release the first EP on TANCK, his new techno-focused imprint.

After spending the past two years exploring the more experimental sides of electronic music, culminating in his debut album Solace in The Wheel in early 2017, Jon Gurd returns to more familiar grounds with a brand new record label. TANCK focuses on bass heavy, basement techno, designed only for the dance floor.

The first release has had some industry support from Adam Beyer, Laurent Garnier, Len Faki amongst others.

TANCK001 is scheduled for August 23 release, with “Swinging From The Chandelier” streaming in full below.

Ricardo Villalobos and Burnt Friedman Remix Samuel Rohrer on ‘Range of Regularity Remixes 2’

Samuel Rohrer has announced Range of Regularity Remixes 2, a new EP featuring two reworks of his album tracks reworking Samuel Rohrer’s recent album—one by Burnt Friedman, and another one by Ricardo Villalobos.

The EP follows on from the Range of Regularity LP, which landed in April, and Range of Regularity Remixes 1, which landed on June 2 featuring Burnt Friedman, Ricardo Villalobos, and Vilod, the collaborative duo of Villalobos and Max Loderbauer.

Burnt Friedman’s dramatic interpretation of “Microcosmoism” pairs up his consciousness of deep bass and analog inventiveness with Rohrer’s continually transforming sound objects, making for a flowing and wordless narrative that simply dares listeners to stop paying attention. This is complemented nicely by Villalobos’ remix of “Microcosmoism.” It carries the energy level of the first EP over to a new disk, while heavily experimenting with feelings of emotional ambiguity.

Tracklisting

1 / A. Microcosmoism (Burnt Friedman Remix)
2 / B. Microcosmoism (Ricardo Villalobos Remix)

Range of Regularity Remixes 2 EP is scheduled for September 29 release, with Friedman’s rework streaming in full below.

The Burrell Connection ‘Ebullient’

The second release on Krysko‘s I Walked by Night label dropped back in July from Glasgow artist The Burrell Connection.

Titled Southside, the vinyl-only EP follows a contribution to Craigie Knowes’ second annual War Child fundraiser, which also featured the work of Legowelt, Shanti Celeste, Neville Watson, and many more. Since debuting on West End Communications in 2015, The Burrell Connection has built a strong reputation for twisted analog-driven cuts full of raw energy. Southside follows in this heritage: recorded with a Juno 6, Yamaha DX21, Roland TR8, Korg Minilogue, and a host of samples, it’s another standout release from a producer we will all be hearing more of in the future.

In support of the EP, which you can pick up here, The Burrell Connection has offered up a bonus cut as today’s XLR8R download, available via WeTransfer below.

Ebullient

Mitú Share New Track From Forthcoming Album

Mitú‘s third studio album, Cosmus, will drop on ZZK Records on August 25.

Mitú is the Colombian duo of Julian Salazar, ex-guitarist of Bogota’s psychedelic cumbia band Bomba Estereo, and Franklin Tejedor, a Palenque percussionist. The new LP will be the first release since 2015’s Siempre EP, following their two previous LPs, Balnear and Potro, released in 2014 and 2012, respectively. Comparatively to those two previous LPs, which we recorded in a relatively short time frame, Cosmus found the band taking their time and putting greater emphasis on the recording process, rather than focusing post-production. This gives the album a raw, live feel, transporting the listener more directly to the sound environment’s created by the band and the live experience—the album is also almost totally electronic, recorded with the intention of being performed live in its entirety.

Ahead of the August 25 release, you can pre-order Cosmushere, with the new single streaming via the player above.

Premiere: Hear a Mind-Bending New Cut From PAINT

The latest release to drop on 20/20 LDN will be PAINT‘s Exodus EP.

PAINT formed in 2016, consisting of Tsuruda and Huxley Anne, two respected artists with a string of releases under their belts for the likes of Dome of Doom and Division, not to mention Tsuruda’s self-released beat outings. Inspired by abstract hip-hop, jazz, bass, grime, and the LA beat scene in which the pair honed their sounds, PAINT’s music is a genre-less fusion of foggy soundscapes and warped beats. The duo are also heavily inspired by visuals and fighting gender constraints, as they explain:

“After years of writing together under our solo aliases, this EP has solidified a creative purpose—unifying musical production with a visual aesthetic to elevate electronic music into the realm of art. It also serves a social purpose, placing a man and a woman on equal footing within a technical environment where women are scarcely represented. Fighting against both genre and gender constructs drive our forward-thinking energy inside the musical structure.”

Exodus will drop on August 18 on 20/20 LDN and can be pre-ordered here, with the EP’s mind-bending opening cut “Beast Mode” streaming in full via the player below.

Forest Swords Shares New Video

Forest Swords (a.k.a Merseyside producer Matthew Barnes) has issued a video for “Raw Language,” a standout track from his second album Compassion, out now via Ninja Tune.

The track features Barnes experimenting with balancing the organic sounds of string stabs and choral samples with powerful sequenced drums, dissolving into distorted tenor sax part way through, before remolding itself for a euphoric climax.

It is accompanied with a video by Sam Wiehl and art directed by Barnes, produced and creatively directed by Barnes’ new experimental creative studio Dense Truth.

“”Raw Language” is the most direct song on the album, and moves into the light a lot more than some of the other tracks,” says Matthew of the cut. “I wanted to echo that in the video, bringing in color, texture and surreal warmth.”

Machinedrum Starts New Label

Travis Stewart (a.k.a Machinedrum) has started his own label called IAMSIAM.

IAMSIAM’s first release arrived in the shape of a single from Rochelle Jordan, a Toronto vocalist who has worked with Stewart in the past. Most releases on the label will be produced by Stewart himself.

“IAMSIAM feels more like a family than a label to me,” Stewart told Clash in an interview. “All the music we are releasing is created by close friends of mine, which makes it a super special and a personal thing for me.”

The new imprint marks the first time Travis Stewart has run his own label, though he was involved in Jimmy Edgar‘s Ultramajic when it started in 2013).

Subradeon ‘Classic’

Subradeon is Giuseppe and Salvatore, a music duo based in Berlin.

Friends from an early who share the same passion for music, they decided to start experimenting with sound as Subradeon. Already in Italy, in 2009, they have been part in several events, becoming known by the local audience, but their passion, constantly growing, drives them elsewhere and brought them to the German capital in 2013. In February they marked their official debut with the release of their first digital release, titled South Connection on Detroit’s Motech Records.

Today, however, they share an unreleased track, “Classic,” which is available to download and stream below.

Lone Mixes Next DJ-Kicks

Lone will mix the next installment of !K7‘s DJ-Kicks series.

10 years after his first release, UK artist Lone is putting out his first ever commercial mix CD. His entry into the celebrated DJ-Kicks series lands on September 29 and features four of his own new and exclusive tracks.

Born Matt Cutler and raised in Nottingham, Lone has emerged as a standout artist over the last decade. Starting out making hip-hop, he has evolved with each new release. Yet whether making house, breakbeat or jungle, his music always remains identifiable thanks to its bright melodic colors. As well as running his own Magicwire label—home to early albums like Emerald Fantasy Tracks and recent music from Ross From Friends, who features here, and Project Pablo—he has also released on Werk Discs and Dekmantel. Over the course of three full lengths since 2012, though, he has also become an essential artist in the modern R&S family.

This mix represents Lone as a producer: it starts out with the hip-hop of his roots, then moves through some of the music of his childhood and on to a range of his enduring influences. Along the way, he stitches in his own newly produced sounds. “I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone with this, he says. “I’m so used to programming my own material on my own albums, that’s sort of how I approached this one.” Purposefully mixed in “a loose, rough way” in his living room on a pair of CDJs, the idea was to make listeners feel like there were in there with him. It’s designed for dreamy late night listening, or intimate headphone sessions, and “plays out a bit like a weird midnight radio show: it’s purposefully all over the place, dreamy and trippy, so you can zone in and out.”
