Varhat is Vincen

Varhat—namely Vincent Lubelli, a recent subject of our Bubblin’ Up series—will release a new EP as Vincen.

YYY白875 will be the French DJ-producer’s first EP as Vincen—but if you check all his credits on Discogs you can see that he has made the mastering of most of yoyaku‘s releases, and that Vincen is his alias as a sound engineer.

Moving forward, Vincen will begin to appear more frequently, though it won’t be used for DJ sets. Instead, it will be used for Vincent’s more experimental works. For this reason, the EP is different—more electro/techno—but he’ll make other styles with the alias. He’s also working on creating the music of an artistic film that will be more experimental/ambient.

YYY白875 will be the fourth release on the YYY label; all other releases on the imprint have come from YYY. The name of those releases are:

YYY161
YYY803
YYY398

The first three releases have the symbol of the golden ratio (used a lot in art and architecture). On the google link, the number of this golden ratio is 1.61803398875. If you take the three numbers of each three releases and add YYY before, you find the order of the releases. This time the golden number finished with 875.

Each release also has a specific color :白 (white) 黒 (black) 金 (gold).

The visual of the release is made out of this specific ratio, too. More information is available here.

Tracklisting:

01. Hoshizora
02. Fune

‘YYY白875’ is available now at yoyaku’s Paris record shop, and it will be in all other stores on November 28.

Snippets of the release are available to stream below.

DeWalta & Shannon ‘Let’s Begin’ (Dub Mix)

Mike Shannon and DeWalta should be quite familiar to regular XLR8R readers. Shannon emerged on the scene in the late ’90s and has been a regular fixture on our pages via releases on Force Inc., ~scape, Plus 8, Wagon Repair, and his own Cynosure and Haunt labels. DeWalta, on the other hand, launched his Meander label in 2007, with releases following on, among others, Vakant, Sleep Is Commercial, and Salon Records.

As DeWalta & Shannon, other than their debut album, Residual, which was released on Indigo Raw, their music has been housed by their own labels. Outside of the studio, DeWalta & Shannon are renowned live performers and frequently DJ together—XLR8R hosted the duo in January at the XLR8R Festival 2016 in Tulum for one of their renowned B2Bs.

This weekend, the pair will play an extended B2B at an underground in LA hosted by XLR8R and Roam Music. The limited-capacity event will take place at an as-yet-undisclosed location with Clovis and John Wander on support duties. Early bird tickets for the event are now sold out and pre-sale tickets are advised.

In support of this weekend’s party, DeWalta & Shannon have offered up unreleased track “Let’s Begin” (Dub Mix) as today’s XLR8R download. With a solid groove as its backbone, the track rolls out across its eight-minute runtime teasing out skittering, razor-sharp percussion and faint, buried samples.

You can pick up “Let’s Begin” (Dub Mix) via WeTransfer below, with tickets and info on the event available here.

Lapalux ‘Throw Dem Bands’ (Ouri Bootleg)

Montreal producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist Ouri‘s music has a tendency to instantly grab your attention upon listening. Her loose, swinging beats and emotive instrumental work has a certain swagger to it. To date, she’s released a few tracks in collaboration with CRi and Odile M, as well as her debut EP, Maze, which dropped in May 2015—there’s also reportedly new original music due early next year.

Although not an official release, Ouri’s latest outing, a bootleg of Lapalux’s “Throw Dem Bands,” has been offered as today’s XLR8R download. Like her original output, the bootleg immediately has you nodding your head with its bass-heavy groove and warped vocal chops, and is a perfect preview of what’s to come from the rising producer.

You can pick up the bootleg via WeTransfer below, with more on Ouri here.

Enchufada Preps Debut EP from Kking Kong; Shares Streams

The next release from Enchufada will arrive from young Lisbon producer Kking Kong.

Kking Kong’s debut EP, Damaia, is named after his neighborhood in Lisbon and presents his take on the kuduro, kizomba, and moombahton sounds of his native home. The four-track EP takes direct inspiration from growing up in the suburbs of Lisbon, “from sharing 40oz beers with friends on a park bench in Alfragide, listening to techno blaring from pimped-out cars at the 6 de Maio projects, and getting his New York Yankees cap stolen on the first day of school.”

Even though he isn’t too known on the international scene, Kking Kong has been steadily making waves in the Lisbon scene via his unique club anthems and inventive edits, and with Damaia, his international stock is surely set to rise.

Damaia can be pre-ordered via iTunes, and ahead of Friday’s release, you can stream all four cuts via the player below.

Hear Moscoman, JMII, Pale Blue, and Suade Remix Man Power

Correspondant has revealed the remixes for Man Power’s debut LP.

The four-track remix package features like-minded artists and friends hand-picked by both label head Jennifer Cardini and Man Power himself and includes Disco Hallal’s Moscoman, Hivern Discs artist JMII, Pale Blue (a.k.a. Mike Simonetti and Liz Wight), and Suade—who evidently mastered the original LP. From Moscoman’s intergalactic steamroller to JMII’s laid-back grooves and the minimalistic drum workout by Pale Blue, the remix package manages to pay homage to the album whilst also providing inventive interpretations.

Man Power Remixes will be officially released on Friday, November 11, and in the meantime, you can stream all four cuts via the player below.

Nathan Fake Announces Ninja Tune EP

Nathan Fake is set to release his debut 12″ on Ninja Tune.

The British electronic ace—who has previously released on James Holden‘s Border Community label, Traum and most recently his own Cambria Instruments imprint—will release ‘DEGREELESSNESS’ in December.

The two-track EP will be the first music to be released from his forthcoming new album, is a collaboration with NYC resident Prurient (a.k.a Vatican Shadow), the founder of the Hospital Productions label. Nathan met Prurient in Brooklyn where the seed for a collaboration was sown.

“Although our music probably seems pretty different from each other’s on the surface, I felt there was a strong link from a rhythmic and melodic standpoint, and I admired his vocal performances in his Prurient material which were both charismatic and masculine but not tiresomely so,” says Nathan.

“DEGREELESSNESS started off as a 16-bar loop jam which I’d adapted from an existing melodic composition, building rhythms around it with his voice in mind. Dominick [Prurient] delivered a spoken-word vocal piece inspired by the track, the lyrical content of which is heavily obscured in the final piece, purposefully so, the whole piece becoming lost in its own echoes, with the human voice emanating from the gaps in between.

On the flip is “Now We Know”: “An attempt at a more traditional house track, built around a sample, Casio keyboard drums and FM synth, crushed onto cassette tape. It was written and recorded in a single afternoon in London, circa 2010.”

Tracklisting:

1. DEGREELESSNESS feat. Prurient
2. Now We Know

Ninja Tune will release DEGREELESSNESS on December 2 2016.
