Press Info:
Following his last EP for the label, »Immaculata«, VOITAX mainstay Makaton returns to form with his second solo EP – »Crime Wave« . His meticulously crafted brand of techno spans over four dance-floor cuts, covering all the bases for the mind, body and soul.

»Bruise Violet« opens up shop in true Makaton fashion. A venturesome stomper buffed out with an unrelenting, neurotic bass line which is sure to turn heads.

»Rise and Kill« features the Birmingham producer’s inimitable swing that is dominated by another incisive bass line and served with a big side of hypnosis.

On the flip side, »Pre Language« is a masterclass in minimalism. Beefy low-ends, a galloping groove and an enchanting atmosphere turns this one into an essential tool for DJs.

The final cut, »Double Heart«, delves a bit deeper. The journey evolves delicately with the help of gentle pads, an undulating bass line and a piercing hook.

out now: SHDW & Obscure Shape – Charity Version 001 [From Another Mind]

 

Artist:
SHDW & Obscure Shape

 

Title:
Charity Version 001

 

Label:
From Another Mind

 

Cat#:
FAMCV001

 

Release Date:
03rd July 2020

 

Format:
digital

 

Tracklist:
01.
Die Weisse Rose

Die Weisse Rose
(Underher & Eleonora Version)

 

Press Info:
From Another Mind founders SHDW & Obscure Shape announce charity remix package featuring an array of rising talents with all proceeds doubled by the German duo and donated to Ärzte Ohne Grenzen (Médecins Sans Frontières aka Doctors Without Borders).

Opening the package, Anterist’s remix of SHDW & Obscure Shape’s ‘Die Weiße Rose’ rolls forward with cantering kicks, off-beat hats and murky synths, leading into Jay Clarke’s contrasting version with its chuggy bassline, piercing stabs and murky atmospherics – broken up by celestial breakdown at the midway point. Next, Leksom’s take on the same track is built upon gloomy sound design and features syncopated drums and oscillating effects.

STXRK then remixes ‘Gesang Der Toten Dinge’ to create a relentless groove courtesy of precision kicks, delayed notes and tantalising arps. Finally, the package concludes with a curveball remix of ‘Die Weiße Rose’ from Underher who creates an epic number opening with a suspenseful and atmospheric intro, incorporating a brand new and original serene vocal from Eleonora, before shifting into a meandering rhythm – the result is a twisted and esoteric aesthetic.
