OUT NOW: Redshape - Wires (Present Recordings)
Present Recordings
Release date: 25/11/13
Catalogue number: PRESENT12
Redshape brings us his first single-sided EP since the highly acclaimed "Dog Day" on Millions Of Moments in 2007. Although both tracks were produced during "fun, not too serious" studio sessions, the similarity ends there. Whilst the breakbeat heavy "Dog Day" harked back to the halcyon days of early UK hardcore, "Wires" takes a complete different route, aligning itself with the darker minimal techno sounds of the mid-to-late 90s. Even though this isn’t one you might typically associate with Redshape’s trademark sound, he was still very keen to get this release out into the wider world.
Also included is his recent EP, ‘Made Of Steel’, which was released on vinyl last month on Present Recordings. Expect the digital version to hit the web around the same time as “Wires” does on vinyl.

This Is Bass Culture - mixed by D'JULZ
This is Bass
Culture: 4 years of Bass Culture Records mixed by D'Julz
Over
the past four years D'Julz has established his Bass Culture label as a
reputable source of high quality house music. The overarching ethos has been
one of staying true to the roots of the music, encapsulating D'Julz's vision of
house – encompassing its many different styles with driving, groovy bass always
present at the very core of each release. In fact coming from a dub
influence, it’s that bottom-heavy focus, the low-end rhythm, that D’julz
considers to be crucial to his label’s output.
Before
it became a label, Bass Culture started as D’julz own residency at Paris Rex Club
and is still today the longest running
night at the Paris's most famous venue, Rex Club, and for that reason there
remains a very close bond between the two. In fact, the very spirit of Bass
Culture night; its electrifying atmosphere, its supporters and extended family
are embedded in the foundations of Bass Culture, feeding into its very own
spirit and helping to shape the label into what it has become today.
Bass
Culture is now widely recognised as one of the most reliable house music labels
out there, just as D'Julz himself is highly regarded as both a DJ and producer
– the label has found favour with many of the industry's most respected
tastemakers, both new and old. With this in mind, Bass Culture's first
compilation consolidates its past, present and future into one must-have
collection that represents house music at its very best and illustrates exactly
what the label is all about.
On this
carefully curated selection of Bass Culture releases you'll discover a variety
of styles, from house and techno stalwart Mr.G's ridiculously infectious 'Got
That Swing' with its pumping kicks and absorbing vocal, to the grumbling
darkness of the gravely bass and languid percussion of Joel Alter's 'Rules Of
Love', which features the haunting vocals of Eric D Clark, a total contrast to
the jaunty nature of Oleg Poliakov's 'Besides'. Other tracks come from such
talents as Alex Picone, Rio Padice, The Analogue Cops, Franco Cinelli, Mr
Tophat & Art Alfie.
Not
forgetting the bossman D'Julz himself who contributes one of his own
compositions, 'Da Madness (2013 Mix)', stamping his mark on the collection and
letting everyone know that, as well as being an expert selector, he can also
roll out the kind of house music that makes even the most ardent connoisseurs
go weak at the knees. This comes accompanied by a collaboration with one of the
queens of house and techno, the inimitable Cassy – taken from the duo's
forthcoming EP.
A
little while back, a French journalist once misinterpreted the name of the
label, confusing 'Bass' with 'Basse'. Funnily enough though, 'basse' translates
to 'sub' in English – something which D'Julz could only find amusingly coincidental,
for 'Sub Culture' could also be the perfect name for his label. It's
underground and uncompromising in its stance, supporting only the most sincere
house and techno.
This
pure sound is the throbbing heartbeat of Bass Culture and you can expect to
find it in each and every track that has been chosen to appear on the
compilation... This Is Bass Culture.

Cocoon London - Building Six: 30/11/13
Cocoon London
Sat 30th November: 10pm to 6am
Building SIX, The O2 Peninsular Square, London, SE10 OAX
|
Sven Vath
Joris Voorn
Mathew Jonson live
Andre Galluzzi
Duss
With support from Magma + Apogee
Mark D'Ground, Michael Scullion, You-Beht, Mick Foley, Ron E, Kag + Gearo
Cocoon return to London for their biggest event since 2010, with Sven and co's unrivalled flow certain to leave you dreaming of Balaeric sunrises. After yet another incredible summer in Ibiza under the watchful eye of Es Vedrà , Cocoon have been drawn back to the North Greenwich peninsula and back to the space now known as Building Six. Bringing some of the magnetism from that mysterious rock with them, this one's certain to draw out London's party people.
Sven Vath... Still as forward leaning as ever in his outlook continues to dazzle crowds with his gripping dj sets. Creating a sense of timelessness through his ability to manipulate the floor, each second is a second properly lived when in a room where he's playing. He'll be joined by Joris Voorn who's killer productions embrace everything that is great in house and techno, whether it's Detroit or Chicago, soft or hard he has the taste for every moment. With a ridiculous back catalogue of tracks, the sounds of Joris Voorn are peppered throughout the sets of club and bedroom DJs across the globe.
Finishing off in room 1 we have a live performance from Matthew Jonson who has developed one of the most distinctive styles in electronic dance music. When you hear one of Jonson's tracks, you almost immediately know it's his; and yet there's no mistaking any given track for another.
For room 2 WE PLAY VINYL and ARAS music's talisman Andre Galluzzi will spearhead the musical journey, extracting all the experience he's had from over 20 years at the forefront of Europe's house and techno scene. A true purist when it comes to technology, his 'turntablistic' mentality is refreshing to see in the age of the laptop DJ.
