Umwelt/DJ Mell G x Unklevon - For The Floor Vol. 5 (Cultivated Electronics Ltd)

 

Title: For The Floor Vl. 5

Artist: Umwelt/DJ Mell G x Unklevon

Label: Cultivated Electronics Ltd

Cat Number: CELT016

Genre: Electro

A1: Umwelt- Memoryscape

A2: Umwelt - Morphing Sequences

B1: DJ Mell G x Unklevon - Get Down

B2: DJ Mell G x Unklevon - Get Down (Sync 24 x Controlled Weirness Remix)

Umwelt’s ‘Memoryscape’ really is that, although it must be said that the memories must be strange ones. It’s a driving piece full of the type of swirling noises only available at a Harry Potter picnic. The proverbial dementor wormhole as seen from the backseat of an Uber in the docklands. ‘Morphing Sequences’ is heavier and more menacing, making good use of squelches, its a disciplined battery in amongst the chaos of Goldorack’s universe. The Mell G x Unklevon track comes in two versions. The original, relying very much on some neat, bullet point percussion is crisp and full of unhinged depth. The remix doesn’t depart much from the original, there is an amplification of peripheral ambience though which makes a very positive difference and gives the imprsssion its been flung down a wind tunnel of uncertainty.

DJ Haus - EnerGIZer (UTTU)

 

Title: EnerGIZer

Artist: DJ Haus

Label: Unknown To The Unknown

Cat Number: UTTU200

Genre: New Rave Interpretations

1: EnerGIZer (O.G. KLUBB MIX)

2: EnerGIZer (Shed Remix)

3: EnerGIZer (Zoriok Compressor Remix)

4: EnerGIZer (Yassokiiba Remix)

This is the 200th release on UTTU. So, what to expect? Well, it was the inclusion of Shed that brought me here. Then, on closer scrutiny, I find out that Zoriok is Legowelt, with Yassokiiba being a new name to me. I’ll start with Shed’s remix, as that’s what’s playing right now. Pounding, ambience dampened steam hammers with high frequency electronic squiggles. Then it takes off, meandering over the rave hills until coalescing with its beat. That’s what I expect from Shed so I’m not disappointed. The Yassokiiba Remix

seems to be a dub laid on top of the vestiges of DJ Haus’s ‘O.G. KLUBB Mix’. Everything is slowed down to a very manageable speed, which is nice as its 33 degrees outside right now. I’ve just taken the dog for a walk and we’re both knackered. The Zoriok Compressor Remix is an ingenious symphony of high frequency sonar dynamics underpinned by break beats, that is until it goes off on a tangent, marking for all its worth. The O.G. KLUBB MIX sounds almost conservative by comparison. Which it is, in spite of its heaviness and power. Moreover, not for the first time recently, I’m feeling the Neil Landstrumm influence here. Sort of Relief meets ghetto-tech with a more contemporary veneer.

Track Of The Day: Marco Passerani & Orlando Occhio - Criticise (Peacefrog)

 

It’s the start of meteorological Summer, with pagan summer starting in three more weeks. Typically the sun has chosen to take a nap, but it’ll be up and at ‘em again I’m sure. Anyway, here’s an essential cover version of Alexander O’Neil’s classic, delivered in suitable deadpan style by Orlando Occhio. Of course, it wouldn’t be nearly so effective if the backing instrumental didn’t jar in all the right places. A great cover version that has more than its fair share of dissonance, all of which grinds the sonic gears in order to produce a wonderfully harmonious and emotive piece of uptempo chug.

Track Of The Day: DJ Metatron - You'll Be The King Of The Stars (Traumprinz)

 

One of the tracks that I have in mind when “riding the panpipes back to base” comes into my head. There are no panpipes and there is no base, but this tune evokes, more than most, a divine journey. One in which you know you’re going to reach your destination, no matter what. So many symphonic and emotive layers, all perfectly pitched. A polyphonic harmony of all your best moments rolled into one. The anthem you didn’t know you needed. And, at nearly eight minutes long, far too short.

Coyote / Lonely Deckchair - Bodega Notts 30/5/26

Track Of The Day: Magazine - Suburban Rhonda (Virgin)

 

One of the standout tracks from ‘Magic, Murder & The Weather’, for me at least, as it used to be on heavy rotation in the various bedrooms of my late teens. Plucked from Magazine’s last studio album, and one which saw the disbandment of the group before it was released, ‘Suburban Rhonda’ has a laconic charm, brought into existence by Devoto’s characteristically sharp wit and a very relaxed backing. 

Track Of The Day: The Fall - Leave The Capitol (Rough Trade)

From ‘Slates’ one of the key Fall releases on their long and varied existence, ‘Leave The Capitol’ is an intense, electric throb upon which Mark E. Smith’s lyrics sit. It feels totally improvised and together at the same time. Hearing this in 1981 was a bit of a revelation. It feels forward -looking, but also trapped within the sum of its parts. MES’s voice as unrestrained as it gets, corralled within an effervescent broadside of garage band ballyhoo.

Track Of The Day: Millsart - Every Dog Has Its Day 4 A1 (Axis)

 

An amazing piece of music from a superb release. The ‘Every Dog Has its Day’ series should have got more coverage. This untitled track really is the music of the spheres. It’s the techno equivalent of Larry Heard and feels very spiritual. The ambience of an acoustic cave where all the rocks have a different sound as long as you touch them in the correct sequence. It feels very much like ‘Gamma Player’ which, in my humble opinion, is the best techno track ever made. And all of this release is in a similar vein. A cosmic fusion of electronics and soul, and not quite of this world.

Track Of The Day: Mark Ambrose - I Wanna Go Bang (Crayon)

 

Typical Ambrose. Will work equally well in a house or techno set, although my feeling is it would be better in the latter. Anyway, I guess that’s why the tech house genre started isn’t it? And once Ambrose started releasing music he became a major player within that sphere. This is madness. And there’s nothing like a party horn keeping time just to tip you over the edge. Which is where the synths come ion to widen the state of play. It’s the eponymous sample which gives the track more momentum than anything else though. Great for raising dance floor intensity and keeping it there as an underla
