ADE Festival Adds More Names to 2016 Lineup

ADE Festival has revealed the next wave of acts taking to the Dutch capital in October.

The Amsterdam conference and festival will take place this year from October 19-23, across over 100 venues around the city. Its organizers grow closer to completing the full lineup with announcement that Carl Craig, John Talabot, Sasha, Ben UFO, Call Super, Fred P, Mr. Ties, Ryan Elliott, Move D, and Prosumer will all be performing. They join a bill of acts that already includes the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Seth Troxler, DVS1, and Daniel Avery.

It has also been announced that ADE will run the first global hackathon for the dance scene, as a means of promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. A group of 100 developers will be “asked to think about the challenges that are faced by the dance and festival scene, but also to think about the opportunities that data and technology provide.”

ADE will take place on October 19-23, at various venues across the city. For more information, tickets and the complete lineup, head to the festival’s site.

RVDS Reveals New Album

RVDS will release a new album on his own It’s imprint this October.

Golden Pudel resident Richard von der Schulenburg (a.k.a. RVDS) has been relatively quiet since the release of his last EP, Pudel Produkte 25, back in 2014. The German producer, famed for his deep, acid house productions, has also put music out on the likes of Laid and Smallville over the years. Shadows will be his second album as RVDS on his own It’s imprint, and is described as a “musical journey with acid, deep house, deep techno, jazz, ambient, love.”

Shadows is due out October 24. Pre-order it at Wordandsound.

Stream the Wondrous Debut Album from Crem’e in Full

LA-native Greg Saldate (a.k.a. Crem’e) will release his debut full-length album, Close Up, tomorrow via Alpha Pup Records.

Spread across 17 tracks, Close Up is a sprawling piece of work filled with a wide-ranging band of emotions. The album was recorded over the last few years as a direct response to the passing of Saldate’s mother, and he used the recording process as a healing vehicle, crafting beautiful soundscapes as a means of emotional preservation.

His connection to the LA beat scene—Saldate interned at Stones Throw and is an integral member of High-Fidelity Records—also informs the album, its swirling atmospherics are bookended by loose, swinging beats and a certain rawness that is central to the LA sound. Close Up is a standout debut and one that leaves us salivating for more from the young producer.

With the release out tomorrow on 12″ and digitally, Alpha Pup and Saldate have offered up a full stream of the LP below.

Hreno Preps EP for Meander; Stream a Track Now

Berlin-based Chris Hreno (a.k.a. Hreno) is next up on DeWalta’s Meander with Everest, his latest EP.

Following on from ∞, the collaborative EP between Cristi Cons and DeWalta, and Konrad Black’s beautifully deep return to form in The Scorched Earth, Everest continues Meander’s recent run of brilliance with four rolling house cuts.

In spite of the October 14 release, a handful of stamped white labels have popped up on discogs for those lucky enough to stumble upon them. Officially, Everest will drop on 180 gram 12″ vinyl with full cover artwork featuring traditional indigenous art from Borneo.

Ahead of the release, you can stream “Fingerprince” in full via the player below.

Watch a New Video from Cabaret Voltaire Frontman Stephen Mallinder’s Current Band, Wrangler

Wrangler is made up of members Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire), Phil Winter (Tunng), and Benge (John Foxx & The Maths), and is set to release its upcoming album, White Glue, on September 23 via MemeTune Recordings.

Comprised of nine gritty cuts, White Glue finds Mallinder in sneeringly fine form as the group’s frontman, his twisted vocals providing the center point for an album of immense power and attitude. Underneath his vocal return to form, you’ll find smeared, funk-filled analog synth lines and whip-cracking drums. It’s a late-night album that struts with swagger.

Ahead of the September 23 release, you can watch the video for album cut “Stupid” in full via the player above.

Maayan Nidam Untitled

Perlon’s recent run of releases has been one of its freshest for years. The arrival of the likes of Binh’s Visio EP and the recent Spacetravel double pack have ushered a new breed of acts into the fold, bringing a sense of ebullient progress, with a host of contributions from the old guard interspersed amongst them.

Israeli producer Maayan Nidam is someone who fills a middle ground between them all. Making her debut on the German imprint back in 2009, she has since been called back on a number of occasions, working under a few different guises (such as Laverne Radix, or alongside Vera as Mara Trax).

Not one to be influenced by trends, it’s a fruitless endeavor attempting to guess what she will come out with next. Her podcast for us earlier this year saw her make a swift volte-face into the world of techno, a move solidified in a recent contribution to Nina Kraviz’s трип imprint. Yet, with her latest Untitled EP(her first outing on the 10” format) it’s clear that she’s still got a penchant for the deeper side of dance.

B-side “Looking Through A Glassy Mind” sees Nidam cruising into spaced-out after hours mode: the track doesn’t do a whole lot, rather just enough, embodying the kind of weird-out feeling that works so well in the wee hours. Lissome keys flow unnervingly in and out of earshot, while its vocoder-style synth fuels the eerie aura. The whole thing flows very naturally, and benefits from very delicate arrangement; for its brand of stripped-back music, it ranks up there as one of the most memorable moments in the label’s recent catalog. 

On the flip, “Deep Under Sobriety Regime” is more likely to split opinion. A heavy tune, it shifts closer to techno and doesn’t really suit home listening; equally though, it will probably be a bit awkward for most club settings. Droning, throbbing bass and thrashy cymbals build a moody, grunge-like atmosphere. It’s full of emotion, and actually given a few more listens it becomes easier to relate to. Much in keeping with its title, it forms half of a very sober package; one which attests to Nidam’s ability to keep on surprising us.

Untitled is due out September 2. Pre-order it at Deejay.de or Juno.

Kompakt Compiles Gas Box Set

Kompakt will issue a retrospective anthology of Gas material this October.

Kompakt co-founder Wolfgang Voigt worked under a variety of aliases during the ’90s, of which his Gas guise was one of the most highly regarded, earning a cult following since. The German producer used the moniker for dub and ambient techno, releasing a series of four albums on Mille Plateaux.

The upcoming release of the anthology will feature the Zauberberg, Pop and Königsfort LPs as well as the Oktember EP. It will be made up of 10 vinyls (with each LP being split across three discs, instead of the original two) and four CDs, as well as a special art-print book with previously unreleased Gas art.

Box will hit stores on October 28.

Daniel Avery Shares Rrose Remix of ‘Sensation’

Following on from the recent hypnotic remix by Abdulla Rashim, Daniel Avery has shared the second and final remix from the Sensation/Clear remix EP, out now on Phantasy.

Acclaimed producer and Eaux Records mastermind Rrose commits a typically ambitious and sonically experimental redux of “Sensation.” While retaining much of the original’s celestial groove, its atmospherics are transformed into something more alien and overwhelming, culminating in an epic yet utterly earned conclusion of visceral noise.

Sensation/Clear remix EP is available now. You can stream the entire release below.

Rich NxT ‘Forget It’

Rodriguez is a singer-songwriter from Detroit, Michigan who unbeknownst to him attained huge success in South Africa through the 1980’s and 1990’s, while his career proved short-lived in the United States. Not until 1997 did he learn of the influence and popularity that his music had attained, after dedicated fans had tracked him down.

Offered today is a track from Fuse resident Rich NxT—check out our feature here—who sampled a snippet of vocals tucked away as a hidden track at the end of the Cold Fact album into an eerily haunting and low-slung broody cut.

Rich NXT returns to Cape Town this week to the city’s Vice City venue for the second time this year. More information here.

Forget It

Oval Prepares New Album

Oval‘s next album will drop via his own label UOVOOO this October.

Markus Popp brought back his Oval project in 2010, after almost a decade’s hiatus. Through the ’90s, Oval had been at the forefront of glitch music; upon the project’s recent revival however, the sound has been revamped and restyled.

According to Pitchfork, the upcoming Popp LP will see a move into “club tracks.” Popp explained that the production process was “like going from cucina povera (my 1990s student-budget glitch style) and hi-tech fusion cuisine (post-2010) to feeling like a vegan who just stumbled into a barbecue seminar.”

Popp will hit stores on October 14.
