Man of the moment Lorenz Brunner is back, this time partaking in some wild experiments with acid, on behalf of California's Acid Test imprint, no less. We all know of his signature sound by now; dark and melodic journey tracks. His interpretation of said style, focusing mainly around the little silver Roland box yields some tremendous results here, adhering to the label M.O. in fine form after some serious efforts by Donato Dozzy and Tin Man. Beginning with the ultra-deep and reductionist "Compel" which is reminiscent of early Plastikman, he then launches into the funky R&B tempo of "Pass Up" and the sombre and emotional tones of "Undulate" which gets the first four to the floor beat going. Life & Death label mates Tale Of Us join Brunner on the stunningly soulful "Sequenze" while "Subdue" presents his darkest side on the album. Later on "Ley" gets a peak time level stomp on, in fine acidic style. While Brunner has most definitely found his stride, leading to current mass appeal, he certainly proves he still has underground credentials on this fine effort.
Immunity 豆瓣
8.6 (19 个评分) Jon Hopkins 类型: 电子
发布日期 2013年6月3日 出版发行: Domino
A powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed with the most aggressively dancefloor-focussed music Hopkins has ever made, Immunity is about achieving euphoric states through music. Inspired by the arc of an epic night out, the album peaks with Collider, a huge, apocalyptic, techno monster and dissolves with the quiet, heartbreakingly beautiful closer, Immunity, a track featuring vocals from King Creosote which could sit comfortably alongside the gems of their Mercury-nominated collaboration, Diamond Mine.
Immunity is a confident, dramatic record defined by an acute sense of physicality and place.It feels like the hypnotic accompaniment to a journey of creativity, a trip inside Hopkins’ mind, using analog synthesis alongside manipulations of physical, real-world sounds to make dance music that feels as natural and unforced as possible.
IF U WANT IT 豆瓣
7.8 (13 个评分) Park Hye Jin 类型: 电子
发布日期 2018年12月13日 出版发行: Clipp.Art
“IF U WANT IT” is our first micro-album project on clipp.art, and comes via 24 year old Korean singer, songwriter, rapper, house and techno DJ 박혜진 park hye jin. Currently residing in Korea, park hey jin is a resident DJ at Pistil Dance Club, with regular broadcast performances on Seoul’s independent underground radio “SCR”. Her style blends elements of dream-state house, raw hip-hop & psychedelic darkwave and mixes her own English and Korean vocals over dreamy synths & thick beats for a forward-thinking dancefloor experience.
Title track “IF U WANT IT”, has park hye jin singing a duet with herself in Korean over a bangin 4/4 beat, followed rapidly by “ABC” which finds park croon in English over a smoky piano line before tumbling effortlessly into a motorik fashioned middle breakdown. From there we shift gears, sliding into the deep thunder of Korean vocaled “I DON’T CARE”, the abyss of “CLOSE EYES”, before sailing endlessly into the moonlight on EP closer, “CALL ME”.
We are completely thrilled to present you this exciting underground talent coming out of Seoul.
Early DJ support from Optimo, Tensnake, Shaun J Wright, Larry Tee, Honey Soundsystem, Horse Meat Disco!
