Presales Week -1038

A. Forgotten Planet Awakens
B. Forgotten Planet Awakens (Ricardo Villalobos Vino Tinto Remix)

Jimi Tenor & Freestyle Man with their third outing on Studio Barnhus,
fully focused on thawing our frozen future with this sincere, glorious
hymn. Ricardo Villalobos on the remix – upping the tempo and warping
the original’s choral melodies into something slightly more menacing, with
that classic RV rubber bassline to keep us bouncing through it all.

Return EP for the danish producer Jesper Ryom. Three track of pure deep-house bliss. As a recall, the producer received high appraisal from the likes of Marek Hemman, Kink, La Fleur and got support on XLR8R, Resident Advisor and BBC 1 for his previous work that gathered millions of streams online.

From when he got his first multitrack recorder as a teenager, Jesper Ryom has been conveying moods through all kinds of genres of music. Over time, this has led the Berlin-based Dane to create a swirl of evocative, yet danceable atmospheres, drawing inspiration from hip hop and weaving in samples from an eclectic music collection. His sound is as emotive and climactic as the post rock that defined much of his musical upbringing, and while his music has been played for the dance floors around the world, his own private persona will rarely be found in clubs. It was 2010 that marked the beginning of a steadily growing catalogue of intricately assembled house tracks, conveying both buoyant dreams and melancholic moods. A homely perfectionist at heart, Jesper has made the rare choice of saying no to most gigs to focus instead on tracking down whichever sample or coincidental noise that can express the current state he is in - for the benefit of himself and his dedicated following.

Freund der Familie invite Christopher Rau, Pole, Roger Gerressen and Van Bonn to
remixes cuts from their 2018 ‘Panorama’ EP this February.
Leipzig, Germany’s Freund der Familie, the producer and label name, has long been
respected in the world of raw, underground house and techno. The past decade has seen
the founders Klaus Rakete & Mirko Hunger unveil a number of releases under the alias,
exploring a wide range of styles influenced by dub, leftfield electronica and much more.
Here the label revisits the ‘Panorama’ EP from a few years back, welcoming remixes from
some esteemed artists in the industry.
Christopher Rau returns on remix duties following his take on Symbian for FDF005 and
also FDFALFA01, this time round Rau delivers a hazy take on ‘PRS’ driven by raw
analogue drums, woozy synths and winding subs. Dub master and Scape mastering head
honcho Pole steps up next with his take on ‘CRM’, delivering a typically intricate twist
employing expansive swells, snappy percussion and swirling low end tones.
Irenic boss Roger Gerressen delivers his take on ‘PRS’ next, taking a more groove-driven
feel with stripped-back drums, ethereal pad textures and crisp bass stabs before Van
Bonn wraps up the package, reworking ‘CRM’ with a heavily swung drum groove,
menacing synth flutters and a dynamic, ever-evolving feel.

Track List:
1. PRS (Christopher Rau Remix)
2. CRM (Pole Remix)
3. PRS (Roger Gerressen Remix)
4. CRM (Van Bonn Remix)

Tracklist:

A. Movements 1-4
B. Movements DJ Hell Remix


Text:
Gigolo Records founder DJ HELL remixed this classic masterpiece, a new and already timeless interpretation.

The original was released in 1991 on the famous underground label Outer Limits/Quark at the early beginning of electronic music. And at this time it was already one of the biggest club hits in the exploding world of the Manhattan nightlife party scene. Mastermind Javier Rosario produced this phenomenal record in the UK and the first imports hit the US underground scene the early nineties with a bang. It became soon an anthem for the legendary Danceteria nightclub and spread from then all over the world.

The new release includes the original and a remix by Dj Hell and will be released on Dj Hells new own imprint "The Dj Hell Experience" distributed via Word and Sound on digital and vinyl.

It's 2020, it's virus season. For our first release on Kommerz Records we asked seven techno and house producers, we admire, to contribute six songs to listen to at home, rather than on the dance floor (as those are closed down up to this day). The result are six jazzy downtempo songs by DJ Piper of techno's most hyped live act Fjaak, Glenn Astro & Hodini, Cuthead, O-Wells aka Orson Wells, Manuel Fischer and Qnete. Holla @ our first compilation "Kommerz Season 1: Anti-Virus". "Kommerz Season" will be an ongoing compilation series, which we consider as one core of the label. We will use each season to showcase a new and unexpected take on beat making and instrumental music. "Kommerz Season" pays respect to the producers behind the music.

"Kommerz Season 1: Anti-Virus" was a spontaneous idea (as we didn't expect any of this Corona madness). Since we knew many techno and house producers share our love for instrumental hip-hop and downtempo music (while being stuck at home, too) we started to ask around friends and friends of friends. The tracks contributed by this deluxe cast speak for themselves. on our label's very first release.

Being aware this record features an all male and all white line-up we acknowledge our responsibility as a record label to work towards diversity in music. Our future discography can be held proof for that. Right now we're working on "Kommerz Season 2" featuring a diverse, 100% womxn line-up. Additionally, we're donating 10% of our benefits from "Season 1" to "No Shade", a Berlin-based collective running club nights and DJ training programs for female, non-binary and trans DJs with a strong focus on racial diversity.

A3 Cuthead - Che 01:35

Release Info:

NOTON signs Italian-born, Bern-based sound-artist and
producer Saele Valese.
In ‘IVIC’, his debut LP, Saele Valese, distills hauntological
noise, droning tonal experiments and minimalist rhythms
into a series of electro-acoustic-wave ventures written over
five years in Berlin, Saas-Fee and Thun.
Drawing influences from the psychoacoustic properties of
the live album format, IVIC’s 11 tracks were mixed and
recorded live on DAT cassettes and through DAW
experimentation, without the possibility to revise the final
recordings. Valese adopted this approach to conceptually
propose reconciliations between the irreversibility of the
past, and acceptance of its residuals in the present. The
track titles themselves follow this pathos, citing the works
of the American photographer Francesca Woodman and
the poet Sylvia Plath. The inclusion of passages
incorporating live sonics and throes of industrialismnso,ton.info
contributes to the images of gravity, intimacy and spatiality
that the music presented here invokes.
In keeping with this imagery, the music possesses a
dilated, shuffling rhythmic base, much like the firm
traversal of a tanker against a storm of jangling
components, and still moments of gloomy sonics
alternating with more ravenous upheavals of power
electronics.
If the track divisions do not pass by unheeded, they
are consistently assembled to sonically accompaign
the emotional charges and momentum of an
imaginary cinematic experience; the beats caves in
for instants of relief, only to recoil in a cognated
tempo but rearranged structurally. In another
gesture of cogitated stride, the portentous waves of
the record progressively rage into a turmoil in its
third quarter during 'Horse The Color Of Rust'. The
album reaches its closure fluctuating through
microtonal oscillations to slowly eclipse into silence.
´In Your Rosary ì and Yì ou Cannot See Me From
Where I Look At Myself ì were previously released
on vinyl via Saele Valese’s own imprint, JSMË.
The track ‘You Cannot See Me From Where I Look
At Myself’ 4 - is dedicated to the memory of Marco
Bacher.
Artwork designed by Carsten Nicolai. Mastering by
Matt Colton (Metropolis Studios, London).
