Len Lewis / Mariiin – Split [LAPSE 002]
A1. Len Lewis – Morpheus
A2. Len Lewis – Do U Want It
B1. Mariiin – The Snake Is Changing Its Skin
B2. Mariiin – Impasse
RELEASE INFO:
The second release on Lapse records welcomes UK Tech House mainstay Len Lewis, who’s extensive catalogue of club music stretches across the last few decades, along with newly appraised London based DJ and producer Mariiin. The split EP supports a four track selection of old and new head down club music touching different moods.
Len’s inserts lead on the A side with the carefully sampled Matrix acapella laid across “Morpheus”, a tweaking and dusted 2 step thrill, in keeping with the left leaning spooky tone of the first Lapse release and label sound. “Do U Want It” follows in similar ilk to the self professed Sinister tech house sounds previously ventured on the likes of early Swag and Poodle Records releases of the early 2000’s that became essential points of reflection for the genre’s progression since.
The B side spans a more contemporary 4×4 influenced thread of this style that circles closer to the outer rims of techno and acid. The Italian born producer joins the label with the “Snake Is Changing It’s Skin” and “Impasse” which continue fittingly to carve their signature sound, a style consistent in their early releases on the likes of BPR and EYA Records and across their DJ sets as Pleasure Club resident.

Starting with Nonsaude, a prominent breakbeat enriched by a subtly distorted bass and an euphoric stab. Followed by Frust switching to a dark late-night mood where techno sounds hoard the track. On the B side jazzy Rhodes chords show up with Donin where a hypnotic 303 synth loop takes the lead. Ceibo culminates the record with a sound journey of melodies and effects.

For their second release, the Dublin-based label Space Shepherd follows through with this killer EP by D&S – comprised of two Dutch young men named Dennis and Stephan. Here the Rotterdam-based duo present four live jams produced entirely on hardware and taking in influences from Detroit as well as early British IDM. We were really feeling the futuristic aesthetic of high tech soul epic ‘Approaching Events’, the ominous electro sci-fi of ‘Historical Synopsis’ and the emotional sunset breaks of the title track – which ended this riveting EP on a perfect note.

“We want to present you the new Georgian based record label and it’s debut release – Various Artists. This release is very important for us and that’s why it took over 2 years until it came to it’s final fruition, During this time the release changed its musical and visual content numerous times. Finally it consists of 6 artists: Nakashidze – Whose music represents many musical genres and unity of different stories , Nikola Kazimir & Audino Swiss mates who have already irritated nerves of many people, with their uncompromising sound ,DFO better known as Kozmana in our opinion his music is the rare case of bearing Georgian character through its sound, Sergo Chlauri – A physicist from Georgia, whose music is as mysterious and interesting as quantum physics. Track of Cobert – which will put you on a rollercoaster and you will not be able to escape from there easily. This last track on the record from ADIT is a collaboration between two co-founders of the label, so it will most likely portray the mood behind the label.” (Tesseract)

B1. Somewhere
B2. Somewhere (Z@p Remix)Add to cartRELEASE INFO
Helena returns with its 7th release, this time from Uruguayan alchemist Fede Lijtmaer.
Each of the three originals shows off his flair and musicality, be it the switch-up drum patterns and delicate keys of ‘Só Um Momento’, the more deliberate swagger of ‘Serendipia’ or the mutating synth line that weaves its aleatoric way through ‘Somewhere’ – everywhere shades of Steve Pickton, Casey Tucker, and other early UK proponents of the Detroit sound.
Finally, compatriot and friend Z@P remixes ‘Somewhere’, taking familiar but unexpected elements (Chicago house drums and Mathew Jonson synths) and turning them into something entirely modern.
