Jesse Brooks & Ken Rangkuty - ISTF

Artist: Jesse Brooks & Ken Rangkuty
Release: ISTF w/ Rmxs by Zodiac Cartel and MO7S
Label: Monism

DJ Jesse Brooks and Ken Rangkuty have crafted a banger of a Big Room Electro House tune out now on solid newcomer label, Monism Recordings. The loop in the Original is relentless enough for the tougher tech types while still rooted in the fidget flavour for the new massive. This one is perfect for trackier sets deadset on locking a crowd into the stomp. This is the house of the present, highly focused on jackin’, yet co-opting the past and digging into the now with a need to reinvent itself and shed the current overreaching of retro trends that do little to propel genres into their next evolutionary phase. But I digress.

‘ISTF’ scores big by including a remix from up to the minute sound manipulator and man of mystery, Zodiac Cartel. This rub further showcases the breadth of the ZC palette, eschewing the over the top peak time sound for a hypnotic jaunt through the finer points of tech house. There’s a tinge of fidget to the beats that slightly connects this mix to the Original, but otherwise, it’s almost a wholly stripped reinterpretation that should simmer quite a few floors. Monism brings it back home with MO7S for the close. MO7S delves further into the tech house milieu, extracting quite a bit from the common tonal thread of the release. The half way point of this cut grabs with a twistedness to the elements and a break on the kick that’ll do a nice number on the more subjective party goers. Dig. Solid all around for Monism.

Modul - Acid Reborn (Chi Recordings)

Hungary's marvellous Chi Recordings imprint have been around for years now, quietly plugging away with a vision & freedom that has seen them pick up many plaudits for, although wider recognition has never been as forthcoming as it rightly deserves to be. Whilst most labels are driven by a single-minded puritanical streak, the Chi ethic pulls in quite opposite directions, opting instead for liberation from genre-tyrrany ... not just from release-to-release, but in the individual tracks on each EP. Their ever expanding fanbase are under no illusions though, amongst whom they can include some of the most respected names in electronica - take Laurent Garnier, James Zabiela, Dubfire & D Ramirez. And that's just for starters ....

So it's really about time that we cherished the Chi crew a little more. About time that we took note of their contemporary vision. About time we jetted off to their extensive page on BEATPORT and showed them some love, not least for this excellent new squelchy offering from wunderkid, Modul.

As an additional incentive, Mr Modul shared with us one of the tunes off the Acid Reborn vol.1. EP. Feel free to download it from here:

Insomnia? Damned right!

ELITE FORCE : ENCORE @ INSOMNIA, LEEDS (12/mar-09)

I've gotta tip my cap to the Insomnia crew up in Leeds. A year ago or so I played up there at Rios on what was surely one of the toughest weekends of the year to pull in a crowd, given that Plump DJs, Meat Katie, Evil Nine, Krafty Kuts and Digitalism were _all_ playing separate shows in the same city on the same weekend, but to their immense credit they managed to pull in over 600 people for what really was a smashing night! Afterwards, I sat in the Green Room and was regaled with tales of impending world domination & whilst I clearly felt a great deal of respect for them given what they had acheived that night, I didn't expect things to move forward for them quite as quickly as they have done.

Fast forward a year or so, and here I am on a THURSDAY NIGHT, no less, playing to well over 1200 people moments before the house lights come on for the 4am curfew. Where I come from, Thursday night precedes a SCHOOL DAY, so the sight of this sea of bona fide nutjobs still going batshit crazy filled me with shock. And awe. And Love, energy, Powerrrrrrr.

Earlier in the evening, I took a wander up to the balcony and checked out the Stanton Warriors, doing what they do best. Smacking it up.

Elite Force Live Vid @ Terminal Groove 2007

Well this is a bit of a blast from the past really & I'd totally forgotten that these guys had taken some quality video of this mini-festival out on farmland just outside of Springfield, Missouri. It wasn't the biggest crowd in the world for sure, but what you have to bear in mind was that it was SUB-ZERO DEGREES CELSIUS out there and we were all frozen to the very root of our beings. As the night developed, people were virtually setting light to themselves within the large bonfire at the back of the field in a desperate attempt to stave off imminent hypothermia. Ah bless.

Festival Organizers please note. Festivals held outdoors in winter conditions = epic lose.

Weekend in Budapest

Weekend in Hungary was as predictably wicked as expected, with a show in Debrecen on Friday and an awesome night @ Corvinteto for the Antropos.hu 6th birthday party. I have genuinely lost count of the number of times I've played out there, have many good friends out in Hungary now, and will never get tired of waxing lyrical about the passion, the fervour & the open-mindedness of the crowds out there

A couple of video snippets of the madness have been posted up & although it was very dark in there you can still feel the vibe!

GhettoBlaster w/ Remixes

Artist: Tim Healey vs Marc Adamo
Release: Ghetto Blaster w/ Remixes
Label: In Stereo
Available: March 6th

Track 2: Hatiras Remix
Track 3: Calvertron Remix
Track 4: Krafty Kuts Remix

This tune needs no introduction by this point. It’s been high on many a jocks’ chart and heard in countless sets over the past few months. And with good reason – Healey and Adamo have a bass heavy Electro slammer on their hands, and the flips are about as enviable a list as I’ve seen in a while. This package is perfectly suited for TFM bloggos, with tough 4/4 interpretations from Hatiras and Calvertron that collectively focus more on the low end filthery and peaked out drum break madness. And if that’s not enough, breakbeat stalwart, Krafty Kuts rounds out the proceedings with a rocking remix of his own, roughed up, broken and all. Selecting a favourite mix from this release is a quandary one wishes would arise more often – each mix is solid on its own, and as a whole, this is a telling peek (or listen as it were) into the current big room business of dance music. Large. Just flat out large.

Zodiac Cartel : Weapons of Choice #01 [Franz Ferdinand]

It's no secret that many of us here @ the Manifesto have been bigging up the Cartel now for months & months, and may we now thank the cloth-eared berks at Domino for electing not to use this awesome remix from Zod on their official Franz Ferdinand single release ... because, as a result, it has given rise to a brand new series for 2009, that is being labelled 'Weapons of Choice' and will be featuring no fewer than 6 mighty reworkings from ZC. There are no further details of what's to come in the series, but no doubt their SOUNDCLOUD and MYSPACE pages will be the first to leak the next in the series, which is due to hit the blogs at the beginning of May, and is rumoured to be a massive remake of 'L.E.S. Artistes' by Santogold.

Meanwhile, Zodiac Cartel have been busy working on some original tracks, and with a single to come in April on U&A ('We Don't Play That') and then a further single in late May due to drop on Lee Mortimer's Wearhouse Music as well as remixes for Jack Union, Lot49, Dirty Funker and Jackknife, expect a global takeover by the summer solstice!

Peter Paul - The Final b/w Electrolia

Artist: Peter Paul
Release: The Final b/w Electrolia
Label: N-Mity Sound

Peter Paul delivers a pair of midtempo breaks selections for N-Mity Sound. “The Final” is a dark breakbeat tune that employs large stabs and an ominous male vocal sample over nice parameter play. And I’m a fan of anything that drops a siren to good effect. The bulk of this track trades off between the main run and the twisted treatment of the elements. The AA, “Electrolia”, follows the same moody tone as the A, showcasing the same large synthwork with a more straightfoward format for the first half. The breakdown is a capable build that leads into a wholly trippy arrangement of the parts for a nice change that should do well to switch gears in a set leading towards darker or more progressive territory.
