Electrocorp Mixtapes

"Overlapping drum machine and synth programming, along with explorative and broken rhythms acts as a nod to some of Feros' key influences such as Omar-S, Juan Atkins, Legowelt and René Pawlowitz." Flumo Recordings (home for the likes of Contours, DJ Aakmael, Borrowed Identity...)presents Feros "And Finally..." EP.

Deep-house hero Michele Lamacchia, widely known for his project Rhythm Of Paradise, but also for XPRESSION and KETAMA, inaugurates his brand new vinyl-only label, Aural Vision @aural-vision. He is dropping a beautiful EP under his Nu-Cleo alias, already seen on Chiwax. This debut release features 4 exciting, slamming deep house tracks with distinctive analog sounds and oldschool sonorities. "In The Zone" is set to be released within the upcoming weeks on vinyl.

Lots of energy on this uptempo track from Jackson Ryland @jackson-ryland. Step Recordings @step-rec is releasing another treasure, this time coming from this artist affilaited with Future Times. The US producer has been making quality music as a solo artist as well as in projects alongside Max D (as Superabundance) or as Rush Plus, with Jus Nowhere. His latest solo EP "Most Necessary" lands on Catz N' Dogz' second imprint Step Recordings, following releases from the likes of Baltra, Third Son, Ruff Stuff, MSM, and more. The 4 tracker is a collection of on-point club-focused weapons, opening up with "Vanilla Extract", a moody Techno track driven by a stomping 4/4 kick drum. Following is our favorite, "Spine Realign", a fast paced relentless dancefloor killer. The title track is another powerful gem, a straight Techno cut, guided by tribal percussions. The EP ends with the broken-beat inpired "At This Pace", a mysterious tune permeated by spacey atmospheres!

A master of his ow art, Jad & The @jad-lee delivers genres bending productions and mixes for almost 10 years, and while his usual musical blends generally aim to make you dance, this new mixtape from the Australian artist follows a different path. In these times of self exploration and home centric activities, Jad & The offers us a mix to be listened to. The selection is introduced with several downtempo tracks, that morphes into blossoming Ambient kickless sounds. The mix then sails through synthpads-driven electronic waves, chill hazy balearic house seas, to eventually strands on the infinite shores of breakbeat. An atmospheric journey, as we said, exploring odd drum patterns and reverbing sound signals. A must listen, delivered to you by the one and only Jad & The.

Bristol-native artist Yushh @yushh and her Pressure Dome @pressuredome label are now becoming familiar faces of the Electrocorp networks. After featuring a couple productions from her, we decided to take it to the next level by inviting her on our mixtape series. So here we go, let's take a deep dive into her musical universe made of ravey electro, dubstep and all cross-sections of UK bass music, put together under the most precise way by this fine DJ. Through these 60 minutes, Yushh takes us into a dark journey featuring works from the most exciting producers rising from the underground UK scene, such as K-LONE, Kellen303, Jabes, or Kilig. The mix is built as a long, smooth ascent, culminating at the end with the beautiful "Random Loop From Doepfer Site" by Norwegian-Algerian artist Karima F. A trip that we are not about to forget anytime soon.

French, Paris-based DJ and producer Aleqs Notal @aleqsnotal lands his turntablism techniques on the Electrocorp Mixtape series for this 87th episode. Member of the former parisian collective Clekclekboom, producer of EPs for the likes of Phonogramme, Sistrum Recordings, and Molly's RDV Music, it is a true honour to welcome him on the series. The mix features a carefully crafted selection of house cuts, starting with percussive tracks, smoothly transiting to deeper vibes on the first half. Aleqs then spices up the game with some acid-ish productions in between dreamy, deep house treasures, sailing through the international seas of house for this beautiful journey. Deep, percussive, with a slight touch of oldschool sonorities, Aleqs Notal goes beyond mixing, he's here to tell you a story, and offers a overview of his musical world.

The duo Thirsty Guys makes its solo EP debut on their resident label De La Groove. The EP, called "Shortcuts, Jazz Reflections" opens with 2 house cuts with a beautful jazzy vibe, while the ending track dives into boom bap / hip hop territories.

Read it in French: https://electrocorp.fr/2019/09/25/argot-american-dance-music-2/ We've been following the Chicago-based label Argot @argotmusic for years now, when its founder Steve Mizek was putting out stellar EPs from the likes of The Black Madonna, Octo Octa, Amir Alexander and many more. Since the beginning, the label's mission has always been the same: successfully promoting America's contemporary electronic music landscapes. Back in 2017, Argot released the first volume of "American Dance Music", a series of compilation showcasing homegrown U.S. talents, on which Steve assembled familiar faces as well as new ones, spotlighting diverse talents who make up American dance music. Two years later, the second volume is now coming out, offering another slice of the American scene as witnessed by Argot's founder. While not comprehensive, the 12 track digital compilation showcases a breadth of compelling sounds bubbling up around the U.S., encompassing everything from azure deep house and Midwest electro to glitchy pop and experimental compositions. We are thrilled to share with you "Icy Traverse", the opening title of the compilation. On this track, Chicago artist and Smatbar resident Garrett David @garrettdavid is teaming up again with Colin Johnson @colinsprojects(from Chicago too) after their collaborative work on Lobster Theremin in 2017. Here they deliver a pure house cut with a deep atmosphere filled with a beautiful energy. If you are familiar with Garrett David's work, you'll know what to expect. If not, we highly recommend you his entire discography, as well as Argot's. The compilation also features many fresh faces and contains debut tracks by Peoria, Illinois producer Bodyman and the Madison, Wisconsin-based duo Mazumi. Argot also welcomes to the fold Huey Mnemonic from Grand Rapids; Nikki Nair of Knoxville, Tennessee; Naeem from Pittsburgh; Washington DC duo Scattergood (Mike Petillo of Protect-U and Sami Yenigun of D.C. label 1432 R); Jeremy Castillo out of San Francisco; and veteran Atlanta producer TWINS. The Chicago contingent is strong as well, with tracks by Ariel Zetina, James N. Murray, and Richard Holhburn.

Jen Hartley aka Yushh @yushh established herself as one of Bristol’s most exciting new faces on the scene. As a local selector, she has turned her attention to the groundswell of talent the city has to offer when it comes to the cross-section of bass music with her new label project, Pressure Dome @pressuredome. On this inaugural VA release, she proposes us a beautiful selection of artists, tied together by syncopated rhythms and broken beats, where each producer brings their own style, tempo and atmosphere. The release provides a range and depth that reflects Bristol’s musical versatility, from newcomer Syz whose contribution follows highly praised releases on Only Ruins and Brotherhood Sound System, to some of the city’s newest party starters to rise through the ranks. All five tracks ooze individuality, yet subtly tie together with influences and sounds of a city that naturally nurtures progressive experimentalism. Pressure Dome’s offering is a fine example of burgeoning collective, with like-minded producers set on an uncompromising approach to the broken beat. We have the pleasure to share with you the track "Always, Always, Nevr On Time" from Yushh, showcasing intricate percussion and delicate melodies that roll with energy over subby baselines.
