Raffaello & Palermo Land on Let’s Play House; Stream a Cut Now

Raffaello & Palermo is the collaboration of two friends and former Let’s Play House contributors Damon Palermo (a.k.a. Magic Touch) and Raphaël Valensi (a.k.a. Laura Ingalls), who dropped their debut EP together, titled The Spirit, on LPH on July 1.

The EP presents four chunky house cuts in the same vein we’ve come to expect from the NYC staples, think rave-tinged house stompers, disco outings, and trance-like psychedelia. It’s a record of summer anthems that will surely set dancefloors alight across not only New York but the rest of the US and Europe alike.

The record can be purchased now over at Juno, with lead cut, “The Spirit” streaming in full via the player above.

Conduct ‘Beta’s Error’

In 2009, musicians Robin Andrews and Chris Edwards befriended one another through a shared passion for art, film, and most importantly, an eclectic mix of music. They soon began DJing together across the UK as Conduct, which soon became an outlet for their unorthodox drum and bass endeavors. The project takes influence from their past experience playing a broad-based array of music, which includes stints in extreme metal, jazz, sound design, and more.

In their atypical approach to the drum and bass format, the duo incorporates a unique mix of synthesized and acoustic instrumentation, with hints of live strings and horns in the midst of their finished collage. Conduct has presented “Beta’s Error,” a cut off their month-old Borderlands debut on Blu Mar Ten Music, for today’s download. The pair shows a promising potential and a clear interest in toying with standard drum and bass conventions through the intricacies of digital sound design.

Premiere: Locked Groove Drops Huge Remix of Exercise One

Berlin’s techno duo Exercise One will release its latest 12″ on July 15 via Exone, the label the pair run.

Titled Exone 23, the release features three tracks: an update of a highly regarded back catalogue cut “timetrap,” a deep and forward-thinking analog monster “502 last sequence,” and Locked Groove‘s brilliantly trippy remix of “timetrap.”

Rather than just re-release “timetrap,” Exercise One decided to go back to the original idea and see where they could take it; reimagining it with a future-facing ethos and modern sensibilities. Running alongside the update is “502 Sequence,” the duo’s latest creation, a rough, machine-driven track that will surely set dancefloors alike. Belgian artist Locked Groove rounds out the release with his melodically-rich rework of “timetrap,” which puts some shine on the original in a seductive manner.

Ahead of the July 15 release, you can stream Locked Groove’s remix via the player above.

Shkedul ‘ID71’

With the weekend almost upon us, it seems as good a time as ever to share some full-throttle techno, something to let your hair down to. Shkedul‘s “ID71” is taken from his recently released ID7 EP on Berlin’s Konstruktiv imprint, and seems to fill that role perfectly. A five-tracker that features remixes from Antonello Teora and Russian producer Rekord 61, it covers all manner of different styles within the genre, from hard-hitting cuts to more melodic numbers. Our download for the day, “ID71,” has some Mills-like qualities to it, soaked in spaced-out synths, but also a tribal underbelly with rampant drumming.

Italian producer Andrea Fremiotti began his career as Shkedul back in 2014 with an EP on Emmanuel‘s Arts imprint, and has been rolling them out ever since. The more astute followers may recognize him also for his work as Tillaux—a musician that seems very capable of crafting serious grooves.

Download “ID71” below via WeTrasnfer. ID7 is out now, and can be purchased digitally from Beatport.

Warp Records Preps New Gonjasufi Album; Stream Cut Here

American producer Gonjasufi will drop his fourth LP via Warp Records this August.

After joining the legendary British imprint back in 2009, Gonjasufi returns with his follow-up to 2012’s MU.ZZ.LE—an LP entitled Callus. The multi-talented musician has become known not only for his productions, but also his singing, rapping and DJing. Listeners can expect a heady blend of samples, psychedelia and abstract soundscapes.

On the album’s name and concept, Gonjasufi explained that it was based around themes of anger and pain: “It ain’t about getting past that shit. It’s about growing into it. I peeled through all these layers to get to the core. I channeled all the misunderstanding and misery and torment—that’s what it is, torment—into this.”

Callus will drop on August 19. Stream one of the album’s cuts, “Maniac Depressant,” below.

Roman Flügel Lines Up EP for Die Orakel

German electronic legend Roman Flügel has his first EP of 2016 on the way.

Oliver Hafenbauer‘s Die Orakel imprint will be the home for Flügel’s next EP, Verschiebung—a four track affair described by the label as “16 step sequencer excursions.” The two producers have strong ties via Frankfurt’s Robert Johnson club—Hafenbauer is music director there, and, as a native of the city, Flügel has been heavily involved with the institution for years.

Verschiebung follows on from recent contributions by Christopher Rau, Pablo Mateo and Orson Wells to Die Orakel, and will be Flügel’s first offering to the label.

The EP is set to hit stores on August 5. Pre-order it at Juno.

Outline Festival Releases Official Statement Re. Cancellation

Following the recent cancellation of this year’s event, officials of Moscow’s Outline Festival have released the following statement:

First of all we are deeply grateful to all artists and festival guests who have been affected by the situation, and who have supported us. We greatly appreciate the help of the international community and feel much stronger knowing that many people all over the world are rooting for us and our future.

Outline 2016 was the biggest event that our team had ever produced, therefore we were focused with maximum attention to detail on every aspect of the workflow. This includes the paperwork for the festival, which was filed well in advance. All communication with city officials was properly scheduled and executed.

More specifically, we would like to address the copy of the document that was leaked the day after the cancellation. This single document belongs to a series of documents which were exchanged with city officials.

The safety of Outline Festival’s audience, artists, and crew was never compromised in any way. In fact, all recommendations we received from the Ministry of Emergency Situations during the preliminary inspection were reviewed and carefully implemented.

On Saturday, 2 July at 5 pm, we received the notice from the Prefecture of Moscow informing us that Outline 2016 would not be allowed to take place. After formally announcing the cancellation to the public, the team completely focused on the artists who had already arrived in Moscow. We managed to arrange several shows with a great deal of support from Moscow’s Department of Culture in the popular public park Museon, and we hopefully showed the true spirit of Outline Festival to the general public.

As it was announced earlier, Outline Festival will return all funds from ticket sales to its customers. The process has already started and is under control by our team.

The latest update to this statement is good news. At the moment we are in a frank and constructive dialog with a Prefecture of Moscow regarding Outline 2017.
