BIG TUNE alert: Chilly Gonzales - Knight Moves // Boys Noize Records

This is a beautiful, beautiful track by Canadian Chilly Gonzales (Jason Charles Beck), taken from latest album Ivory Tower.
Jason has showcased his piano playing skills through previous releases, most noteably his 2004 album Piano Solo that details a novel narrative through the power of those black and white keys. There's no surprise to his flawless instrumental talent as he started playing piano at a tiny age of 3, and whilst that is impressive, in 2009 he broke a world record for the longest solo-artist performance that clocked up 27 hours 3 minutes and 44 seconds. Un-be-lievable.
'Knight Moves' amplifies such mastery; the introductory piano instantly captivates and draws attention, pulling at emotions and somewhat lifts you out of the menial everyday. He speaks nostalgia through the piano, mixing apathy with schizophrenia - quite an oxymoron. A steady and relaxed beat is startled by an unexpected embellishment at 1:41, whilst choir-like vocals add a retro depth and strings comsume the anti-climax of that break; at 2:42 all instrumentats that are used merge with an elegance seldom found is such projects. By the end of this overload of melodic tranquility, there's a sense of honourable accomplishment, as though something has been overcome - a message to view the world in widescreen. It's as if this track is in the honour of somebody, a soundtrack to said person's existence, a homage to love.
Enjoy.

TUNE alert: la Zebra - Mind Tricks

I'm a tad depressed that I've only found la Zebra recently - and I've missed out. But fear not, I tell myself, it's never too late to find good music. This California one-man-artist translates our gloomy British view of California through the ray of sunshine beats upheld in this tune - a sort of Daft Punk crossed with the older work of Armand Van Helden, but by no means any less individual. The title is quite apt; I started to think just how did they get Michael Jackson to provide vocals? Playing with my mind, indeed. The soulful break is an unexpected disco delight, which leaves more space for an uplifting Californian house shimmer.
Enjoy.
And this be the remix of an old time classic 'Evil Woman'.

As found on Annie Mac Presents, these former history geeks lay forth yet another blinding single, set for release in November. The intro is an aqua-syrup concoction and forms a distinct and generically indefineable TEED sound, with lyrics that make apparent the aim of easing up the sadness of a lost soul (forgive me if I'm wrong/but you look sad all alone/so give me a shot/cuz i could be/a dog to your bone/or something). I'm sure we've all been there TEED.

New Tune Alert: Jamie XX - Far Nearer

'Far Nearer' is built around the calypso vibes of a kettle drum, which drives the song forward and doesn't get overpowered by the electronic elements of the track.

The future of the genre 'dubstep' is confused, as is the definition of that very word. With terms like 'future garage' and rumours of a 2-step revival afoot, precisely where to place this track amidst the shifting paradigms of genre is uncertain. What is certain is that Jamie XX continues to be at the forefront of innovative and original electronic music on this fair isle, and 'Far Nearer' is a great example of the potential he has when torn from his monochrome bandmates and presented as a solo artist.

EP: Drums Of Death - Won't Be Long

Colin Bailey puts right a lot of the wrongs his countryman Calvin Harris has inflicted upon the reputation of Scottish dance music with this insistent and snarling effort. His work as his enigmatic stage persona Drums of Death is defiant and confrontational, and it's easy to see why Peaches chose to collaborate with him on their 2009 mixtape.
Although many (including myself) initially dismissed his efforts as overly conceptual and not worthy of the hype, I find myself eating my words as the track goes on. 'I Won't Be Long' is simply explosive with drumbeats stolen from an M25 rave building up to a thrilling crescendo at 2:26. It backs up the reputation of his frenetic live performances (and freakish badass street mime/zombie costume) have garnered over the last 12 months.
Every part of the track bursts with life, albeit life with a dark Gothic edge. So, although the song is filled with big organ riffs and throbbing percussion, it retains something malevolent bubbling beneath the surface - much like the heavy make-up Bailey hides behind at live shows. It's an oxymoron - that something so dark and sinister can harbour so many lively sounds within it. It's now that the name 'Drums of Death' makes so much sense - the drums being the ever beating heart of the track, upbeat and positive, with death always just on the horizon of thought. A brave effort.

Album: Tony Lionni - As One

Opening track 'Distant Memories' epitomises its own title magnificently, through minimial, swooshing synth acscention to a contrasting funk bass and a gas cooker ignition-like snare all makes up for what feels like an audio-manual on the various tools for impeccable production. 'The More You Give' throws about outworldly sounds, and eludes towards an ethereal take on house until the climatic 3rd crescendo where extra percussion accompanies the drop and it feels as if we are witness, through our ears, to the waking of a sleeping beast.

There are a couple of stand out tracks that are the pinnacle of Lionni's sound. The first being our Tune Of The Week not so long back called 'Precious' with vocals from Marvin Belton that when blended with the house hook sounds fantastic. The introduction to 'As One' is beautifully delicate, with prominence on the xylophone and soulful key undertones.
Lionni's music allows time for the mind and body to ease into, spacious sounds and build ups in the most simple ways help clear the mind.

Permanent Vacation - Zuckerhut (John Talabot Remix)

Munich-based label Permanent Vacation has been churning out quality release after release for a while now and much to my surprise, label owners Tom Bioly and Benjamin Frohlich hadn’t actually released anything themselves until last year. Sharing a name with the label, their first 12” 'Tic Toc' was a straight up disco delight featuring label mainstay Kathy Diamond. On the reverse, 'Zuckerhut' was a high tempo Balearic stomper designed for the late night sweaty dance floor. With the label clocking up over 50 releases, it now feels like the time for a reworking of 'Zuckerhut' as a little commemoration. On the flipside of the release, Barcelona mystery man and label mate John Talabot puts his customary shine to polish up the track into a synth heavy house rework. Talabot may try his best to keep a low profile, but after this special remix he may well struggle.
Enjoy.

Some gorgeous house to be found here as Sweden’s Rasmus Faber delivers his remix of Ananda Project’s ‘Beautiful Searching’.

Grum - Through The Night (Bitfunk Remix)

Bit Funk is turning out some great remixes at the moment and after this release, some may say there's competition against his originals. Much of the same sentiment can be applied to this remix of Grum's 'Through the Night'. He's twisted and tweaked the bassline and beat giving it a drive and club-friendly lift that the original lacks, with quoted reference too, 'Drive straight through the night/We can make it home before daylight'. The remix retains the uplifting 80's pop-synth while a distorted vocal-chord pulsates in the background - it's an actual pleasure to listen to Bit Funk's best tune to date.

Treasure Fingers EP - Lift Me & It's Love
Defected deliver more delectable and forward-thinking treats, this time from legend Treasure Fingers. Mr Fingers has gone wild with the vocal chops, which he is well-known for, and brings together tracks that can't be faulted - floating bass lines and gorgeous synth find a way of enforcing their melody into the subconscious. 'Lift Me' purveys that chopped vocal, which doesn't aim to convey any particular message through audible words, but manages to be ridiculously infectious. As the vocal trails, a disco synth hook enters, the kind of thing that files synergistic smiles and foot tapping as a means of celebration. The second track 'It's Love' supplies us with more choppy vocals over a stupidly gorgeous house beat that reflects sounds of old skool. The old skool revival is clearly in place and I'm sure Defected will be there at the forefront, flying their D-branded flag!
Both tracks urge a smile, and that is precious. The video is Defected's promo with a highlight of both tunes.
Do Enjoy :)

Album Of The Week: Magnetic Man - Magnetic Man

Magnetic Man (Artwork, Skream, Benga) are the world's first dubstep supergroup. How overused is that term of recent? Even so, it's worth the hype. I've been scouring the tinterweb for some kind of negativity surrounding the boys' work - not to say I do that for a living as someone who gets horny over the negative musing of others. That investigation has worked as a reinforcement of a common and shared view on this 'supergroup' and that they are on their way to global domination.
See, Magnetic Man don't subscribe all the while to the typical heavy sound of dubstep, it's more intelligent and experimental, more tight than their previous work of this 14 track album. They encapsulate the freedom that is associated with this uniquely British creation of genre; another testament that hard times can breed creativity and a sense of revolution is in the air, a precursor to the doomed political future. This may all sound a little over the top, using ridiculous hyperbole of such usual and weekly occurences - that of album making, but it is only what is seeping in the discussion of these guys.

Katy B features heavily in their promotion and tracks, with a stand out 'Perfect Stranger' showing what it is to merge success of brilliant production that is celebrated in the underground and mainstream. 'I Need Air' seems a little overplayed now, yet it's unfavourable to take away the infectious affect it had on the nation's love affair with the Man who is Magnetic. 'Crossover', another featuring Katy B maintains depth in emotion without making the narrative sound like every other unoriginal dance track. And in this case, they save the best to last as 'Getting Nowhere' is the stand out track - a great choice of collaboration, as John Legend's soulful voice is imperceptible and the main focus of this longful track.
Anybody out there willing to challenge these dubstep afficianados, speak up never! Though competition is always an interesting factor. Whatever the case, Magnetic Man are representative of the rolling trends of dance music and are simply signified by the year 2010 - the year they changed the British musical scope.
Enjoy.

Tune Of The Week: Danny Byrd - Planet Earth // Hospital Records

This is actually being given away this week on iTunes as Single Of The Week. And this is the Newsicmoos TUNE OF THE WEEK. Any coincidence? Or just great taste in music?
This tune has already been compared to The Prodigy's style and is one boing away 'Outer Space'. This I conclude is not a bad thing. It's bringing back those sounds of ravey jungle, allowing people like me to reignite those memories and allowing the youth of today to subscribe to their very own 'Outer Space' moment. Taken from latest album Rave Digger, a change in musical scope is here and expect it to be heard at any decent club near you this weekend... and many to come.

EP/Single: Cassius - I Love You So // Rawkers EP

With over 15 years of experience, Cassius, individually known as Zdar and Boombass, have finally got into bed with the darlings of French electro, Ed Banger Records. Their latest offering (from the excellent Rawkers EP) twists their proven formula of languid, sexy electro into something more off beat and nasty, accompanied by a massive snare sound. This sound, the signature of many a 2nd rate 'dubstep' track, doesn't force the direction of the song but serves only to complement the typically Gallic swirling synths, distorted basslines and vocal sample. I personally can't get enough of the delivery (in 2 pitches) and its mixed messages of joy and pain, love and hate. In a genre where so many songs are propelled by percussion, Cassius do a better job conveying emotion with 3 lines ('Ooh I love you so/But why I'll love you/I'll never know') than some bands do with an entire song.
The Ed Banger influence is clear, but it exists in a way which doesn't threaten to take the shine off the polished surface Cassius have worked so hard to maintain.
With this latest E.P, Cassius appear to be innovating and changing with the times, seemingly not content to look back on their work under their many guises (Aphex Twin I'm looking at you. It's been 4 years! Make something already!). The thirst to create and produce shimmering masterpieces is still there, as is the ability to get a crowd moving and shaking.

Plan B - Recluse (Nero Mix)

When you allow the depths of Nero's remix to infiltrate there them ears, the original just seems inadequate. The original's empty feel, which connotates the solitary feeling of imprisonment, is filled with Nero's dirty and apt bass line as well as that string synth overload. To be fair, there isn't much that has been added - almost as if less is more, but it works. The original seems more in harmony, and not much else happens when the vocal is blaring, but overall it's a banger of a tune well worth some commendation.

Boys Noize - Yeah
A return to the fray for Alex Ridha, the ubiquitous producer behind Boys Noize and Boys Noize Records. Building from a compressed sequence of chords and a heavy 'doom thunk' bass snare combo, 'Yeah' appears to prematurely tail off into uncertainty, fading in and out, before coming back into focus as Ridha introduces swirling keys gradually and builds the krux of the song around the vocal sample of the title. From this point, the whole song contrives to come together, tighten and become something more concrete and danceable to. I'm grooving as I write this. Distinct from Boys Noize's normal fare is some 90's house influence and a rolling snare drum which evokes my Total Garage 2001 CD, a compilation which has proved to be an invaluable reference over the year.
The whole track is insistent, with its choruses of staccato 'yeah's!' seeming to command people to the dancefloor, albeit a dancefloor situated at my desk. Put simply, I cannot wait to hear this being dropped in a club and wholeheartedly give it a stamp of approval. For me, it retains the key elements of what makes a Boys Noize record great whilst adding a few elements I wouldn't normally associate with Ridha's sound.

Bottin - Discocracy

It's quite surprising to learn that Bottin’s 2009 concept album Horror Disco was the Italian producer’s third album. Cult label Italians Do It Better (IDIB) had obviously listened to feedback for them to release the 12” ‘No Static’ earlier in the year to widespread acclaim. This release gave us an expectation of what to expect from a William Bottin tune; deep synths, a mid-tempo melodic beat and tidy vocal support. For his second release on famed Belgian nu-disco label Eskimo, he doesn’t attempt to deviate from his tried and tested formula. ‘Discocracy’ is a chugging Italo-Disco charmer with those heavy synths and sci-fi melodies to keep the converted happy. It may not hit the heights of his release on IDIB but it’s a welcome addition to his surprisingly extensive back catalogue.
Enjoy.

Tiefschwarz - Stones (Reworked)

Tiefschwarz (and their peers Trentemoller) have always been synonymous with deep house and nowhere are the deep dissonant noises and pulsating rhythms which define this genre more relevant than in their latest offering, 'Stones'. A vocal loop is at the centre of the beat, frantic and insistent - a complete contrast to the slick disco beat, bossa nova cowbell and piano riffs giving the track its Latino backbone. Where many would fail, Tiefschwarz manage to make this unlikely couple work. The song becomes something ehtereal and otherworldly, almost unsettling as the vocal sample claims to be 'trying not to think.... trying to deserve this'. As we would expect with Tiefschwarz (translation: 'deep black'), the song is densely layered and more complex than an average Auto Tuned chart topper. But it's this which draws in the listener - it demands our attention and intelligence. And it's these intellectual demands that make it stand out and evokes some warehouse in Berlin at 5am. Can I get a hell Ja?
