The Method Ep

Solenoid is back with SLN019, this time Label owner Erta Ale shares the sides with the welcomed Italian duo we.ampsConnection, vibrations and affinity - all aspects that bring together a remarkable release between the two producers.'Suck my/ Oblivious' is the perfect example of the meaning of connection and keeping true to one's own “style”.'Drummy ya' is the essence of being eclectic and simultaneously dance floor oriented. A stormy chord combined with a twisty acid melody that clashes on the unexpected vocal break, moving onto the second part of the track where a stormy loop becomes raw and gritty yet arranged in an intentional and accurate manner. 'Suck my' is fast and "break" with a 4/4 beat making the arrangement experienced, at the same time , the electro baseline with the deep male vocal, throws the listener into its vortex of sound. Side B showcases Erta's experimental breakbeat track “Oblivious” , perfect for a sophisticated dance floor or a radio podcast. The last track “Odyssey” is one of the most intimate and hypnotic tracks by the record label owner. An atmospheric and even sentimental track which was created during his last South African tour.

return_backspace is excited beyond measure to present to the world the music of a young marco repettoconceived during the heydays of atari-sequencing, under his beloved moniker planet love, the bern-residing, italian producer at long last will disclose some of his earliest compositionsin nine tracks - spanning three extended plays - the headstrong musician demonstrates ingenuity once again; amalgamating otherworldly soundwaves and advanced production technique into a one-off kind of seminal technonew era e.p. makes the initial part in the triptych, and unfolds through its title track; an extraterrestrial soundscape sculptured autumn ’92, heavily reverberating repetto's profound fascination for 1950s science fictionflowers was recorded during the last days of ‘90, and is one the earliest experiments conceived under the alias. the track is a well balanced blend of measured psychedelic, and grand lushness, with vigour that has zero decayed. supremely effective at the end of a long night’s rave bird song is early ‘92 in full effect, and might just contain one of the catchiest bass-lines known to mankind. topped off with luxuriant pads, sweet samples, and irresistible bleep, repetto truly outdid himself on this one; romantic techno rarely gets more soulfulthree decades after their initial recording to digital audio tape, the natural naivety within each of these productions still is extremely tactile; reminiscent of a time when electronic music was in its infancy

Frappé is set for a powerful finish of the year, welcoming the great S3A as a very special guest on its 6th Various Artist EP « The Godbanger », to be released on December 10th. Alastair Lane, one of the hottest young talents to emerge from Paris in recent years co-stars the EP with the French funky House music don, pursuing Frappé’s tradition to bring together well-established producers and futur stars of the French scene. For the party to be complete, the two guests are joined by the label co-founders Ten Fingerz and Basile the Suresnes, with the 4 artists placing « The Godbanger » under the sign of funk and disco, for a 5-track EP that will have you booty-shaking all night.

First release from the Parisian label SOUR records, this very summery EP Unspoken Love from Moop Jr. takes up the codes of 90's House music : an intense 4/4 rhythm and a very groovy use of the sample. On the A-side, Esperluette and Uproar Funk are two energetic and solar tracks. On the B-side, Friendship has a slightly deeper atmosphere with a rougher grain. Cheers !
