Premiere: Hear a New Track from Frequency and Juan Atkins

Over the last five years, Out-ER has released a steady stream of world-class releases from, among others, Dutch heavyweight Orlando Voorn, Detroit pioneer Terrence Dixon, The Analouge Cops, UK veteran Aubrey, and label founders Simone Gatto and Andrea Santoro.

The latest release to arrive via the Berlin-based label will be a celebratory compilation featuring cuts from the aforementioned names, as well as Efdemin, Regen, Haiku & Irakli, Frequency Vs Juan Atkins, and Civilian. Stylistically, the album runs the gamut from warped electronica to heads-down, spacey techno; and across the nine tracks, Gatto and Santoro look at presenting a sound that unifies artists the world over, as they explain:

“Our aim has always been to define a sound capable of uniting Europe and America through an imaginative bridge existing since ’90s. We strongly take inspiration from the emotions and melodies located in the old school tradition, yet we try rework the history in a contemporary key, adorning every sonorous element properly arranged in each track. The collaboration with such electronic music forerunners as Juan Atkins, Orlando Voorn and Terrence Dixon is a huge satisfaction for us.”

OUT-ER 5 Years Anniversary will officially drop on December 5 via the Out-ER Bandcamp page. Ahead of that release, the label has offered up a full stream of Frequency and Juan Atkins’ mind-bending techno cut “Reloaded,” available via the player below.

Discogs Announces App Update

A new update is available for the iOS version of the Discogs app. Version 1.7 is full of new features.

The app’s beginning functionality focused on the most attractive aspect of the Discogs platform: collection and want list. In Version 1.7, Discogs has completely redesigned the ‘Artist View,’ ‘Label View,’ and ‘Release View,’ among several other improvements and fixes.

The app now pulls in all of the Discogs database information associated with an artist or band. Flip through a full artist image gallery, browse through the band members, name variations, aliases, etc. Band members and other artist data are also all linked, so it’s easy to explore and discover connected artists and releases.

When you find a new favorite artist, you can tap the share icon at the top of the screen to share your discovery via social media, text message, email, or simply save as a note on your phone. You can also easily see how many releases from a particular artist you own by tapping on the ‘In Your Collection’ number to see a narrowed list of releases from that artist or band in your collection.

The app also pulls in more label and company data. Learn about a label’s parent label and sublabels; explore a label’s releases, and even quickly navigate to the label’s website. If you own or have ‘Wantlisted’ a release from the Label you are viewing, you can quickly navigate to those releases in your ‘Collection’ or ‘Wantlist.’

In addition to this are several other improvements and fixes.You can read about them via their update here.

Stream a Cut from Mike Shannon’s Blue Fields Project

Swimming In The Shadows will follow on from 2012’s Ghost Story and will be released via Shannon’s Haunt imprint. The latest outing from the pair is a deeper, more experimental piece than its predecessor, and is “influenced by the turning of leaves and life’s inevitable transformations,” resulting in an album heavy with emotion.

Ahead of next year’s release, you can stream “I Felt That It Was True,” which features Cobblestone Jazz’s Danuel Tate, on Rhodes, Vocoder, and Moog Bass, via the player below.

Hear Matthew Herbert Remix Coldcut

Following the release of the brilliant Only Heaven EP, their first material in over ten years, Ninja Tune founders Jon More and Matt Black (a.k.a. Coldcut) return with a remix package featuring reworks from scene heavy hitters Matthew Herbert and Special Request, with rising producer Cadenza rounding out the release.

As you can expect from the names involved, the remixes are as inventive as the originals themselves; from Herbert’s quirky two-stepper to Special Request’s low-slung weapon and Cadenza’s breakbeat tool, the three mind-bending interpretations sync perfectly with Coldcut’s forward-thinking ethos.

The remix package is available now and can be picked up here, with Matthew Herbert’s remix streaming in full below.

Matthew Dear Mixes DJ-Kicks

2017s first DJ-Kicks compilation comes from DJ, producer, vocalist and instrumentalist Matthew Dear.

A man of many musical hats, Texas-born, Detroit-raised Dear has a wide-reaching discography that takes in techno as Jabberjaw, dark avant-pop under his own name and intricate minimal as Audion. Often with a gothic slant and full of curiousness, his pensive but playful music is an intoxicating distillation of many different influences, often with his own stylised vocals at the centre.

“There are snippets of friends and family strewn throughout the mix. A lot of the vocal interludes you hear are from a portable recorder I’ve carried with me over the years.”

As co-founder of both Ghostly International and Spectral Sound, Dear has also been responsible for some of the scene’s most exciting new music, plenty of which appears here. Now more than 15 years, five albums and 20 EPs into his career, Dear is exactly the sort ofcharacter that makes the very personal DJ-Kicks series so special.

Included along the way are three brand new and exclusive cuts from Dear himself, one under his own name and two as Audion. They are typically weird and intriguing cuts that tie the whole unhinged and freaky mix together. Also helping to add to the left-of-centre afterparty vibe are inclusions by artists as diverse as Thatmanmonkz and Matrixxmann, ItaloJohnson and Pearson Sound, Randomer and Simian Mobile Disco.

“I always have a lot of unreleased music laying around, those I included on here seemed to fit. A mix like this is always a good place to showcase my own productions, but I didn’t want to oversaturate it with my own stuff.”

“I wanted to create a mix that could be listened to anywhere, and reflect a little bit of everything that I play. Whether you’re in your car, preparing to open the club, or having a bottle of wine with friends at home, this mix is for you.”
