7TH SELECTION – A new one every Monday.
Want to stay up to date with the most recent music, for instance for your DJing? Each Monday, we list and comment on our favourite releases of the moment. This week:
Izora – One [Zodiac Music, 2021-12-14]
DRUM’N’BASS
Introducing the “hypnotic drum’n’bass” with Zodiac Music’s new release.
Luigi Tozzi – Deep Blue: Volume 3 [Hypnus, 2021-12-19]
ATMOSPHERIC TECHNO
The Italian maestro, who shoulders his penchant for the smooth frequencies, keeps on descending underwater into the deep, black & silent kingdom. The beautiful release comes with a mix.
Lakej – A Flawed Belief System. SEMANTICA 131 [Semantica, 2021-12-13]
DANCEFLOOR-ORIENTED
Elected “Favourite label” of our community, Semantica is back with an album, after a long series of VAs. Lakej kills it in his solo debut on the Spanish label, by basically dynamiting its entrance door with eight bombs.
Atomic moog – The Hesperian City [Monument, 2021-11-08]
ORGANIC TECHNO
A n j e & Charles Lcc AKA Atomic moog are back on the label with four ethereal and mesmerising pieces, featuring remixes by legends Anthony Linell and Artefakt.
Khoros – Resilience VA [Khoros, 2021-12-16]
VARIOUS ARTISTS
Van Morph’s skills shine in most of his releases, sometimes more than the artists he collaborates with, but not this time: for us, “Resilience VA” surpasses the label’s releases with its drone-ish tracks.
Fernie – Signet EP [Space Textures, 2021-12-17]
DRONE-ISH TECHNO
Deep space trip from Fernie in his label Space Textures, far above Glasgow. Calling his tracks “Signet”, Fernie seemingly bookmarks the pages of a cosmic book, featuring great remixes by Kontinum and Klara.
Repart – Resurgence [Informa Records, 2021-12-16]
DRONE-ISH TECHNO
Sixth instalment in the Proxima series on Deepbass’ label Informa Records, who contributes with a remix. Also from Glasgow, Repart is first and foremost a DJ, which can be sensed in the way he mixes the layers.
Falling Echoes – Olympian 24 [Modularz, 2021-11-28]
DANCEFLOOR-ORIENTED
Massive dancefloor bangers on Modularz, perfect to scream “YAWP!”, as suggested in “Dead Poets Society”.
