The UK legend’s carefully curated new LP contains 25 exclusive new tracks of gripping acid house

John Digweed – Futuro (Bedrock Records)

Legendary DJ John Digweed unveils his new album Futuro, a jam-packed compilation out via Bedrock Records on 17th November.

Futuro sees John Digweed bringing together an all-star arsenal of synth-drenched acid house. Featuring 25 exclusive tracks from luminary artists such as David Morales, Rodriguez Jr, Bushwacka, Marco Bailey, Nick Muir and Captain Mustache, the album has been carefully curated and compiled and mixed by the UK legend himself.

Digweed and Nick Muir set the scene with atmospheric opener ‘FuturaScent Intro’, before the intricate polyrhythms of Carrera & Tavares and the synth-soaked euphoria of Davi tackle centre stage. Bushwacka’s ‘Lectrobee’, the lead single from the album, is an enthralling breakbeat sequenced deep into CD1, while highlights of CD2 include second album single, John Digweed, Nick Muir and Captain Mustache’s uptempo heater ‘Bleu Cobalt’, as well as futuristic stunner ‘The Last Call’ from Martin HERRS, Aliot & Bunbeck, to name just a few. From back to front, Futuro is an irrepressible odyssey through some of the most thrilling acid house music being produced today.

“I am really proud of this latest album, there are so many amazing producers that have delivered some incredible music ranging from ambient to house, breaks, techno and so much more.” John Digweed explains. “I have always strived to deliver mixes that feature a wide range of styles and ‘Futuro’ is a perfect example of this. I hope you will enjoy the journey.”

The release continues a typically industrious year for John Digweed. Having recently released the EP Tripchain / Scanalatura with Frankie Wah and Nick Muir, as well as celebrating 25 years of Bedrock with a day party at XOYO London on 1st October to coincide with his 1000th Transitions Radio show, the UK legend is as vital as ever.

John Digweed is a DJ’s DJ. The beauty of what he does lies in just how different he really is from his contemporaries. From his early beginnings in the blossoming scene of acid house to the apex of the international DJ’ing world he has created and maintained a level of integrity that is the benchmark for both dj’s and producers globally. In fact, he has reached the very top of his profession, being voted #1 in a voter’s poll by DJ Magazine in 2001.

His list of achievements is groundbreaking to say the least. Highlights of which would be the first official DJ mix compilation (“The Mix Collection”, with Sasha), being the first British DJ to hold a residency at what was then the world’s most well known club in NYC Twilo as well as having remixed some of the biggest bands alongside studio partner Nick Muir. Over 60 official Mix CD compilations released and coming up to 1000 Transitions worldwide Weekly radio shows, reaching over 14 million a week in over 60 countries a real testament to John commitment to showcasing new music every.

A bumper pack of synth-soaked acid house, Futuro is another forward-thinking release from John Digweed, making the most of an all-star roster of stellar artists and collaborators.

Labyrinth Open Air: Adriatique at Tofte Manor
Saturday 6th July 2024

https://www.labyrinthevents.com/adriatique?ref=pressrelease

Next summer, Swiss house and techno duo, Adriatique, will be curating an exclusive open-air show on the grounds of the historic 17th century Tofte Manor.

On Saturday 6th July 2024, the pair will take their inimitable deep, melodic sound to the rolling Bedfordshire countryside, to unite a hand-picked selection of their favourite artists against the breath-taking backdrop of Tofte Manor and its unique labyrinth.

With releases on prestigious labels including Diynamic and Afterlife, the duo have become all too familiar with unmissable one-off events at iconic locations all over the world including Zurich, Tel Aviv, Ibiza, and New York under their ‘X’ brand, as well as their now famous ‘Cercle’ shows at the Hatsheput Temple in Egypt and on the slopes of the French Alps.

Having sold out the iconic Camden Roundhouse, next summer Adriatique will be adding their list of unique locations, taking ravers into the deepest, grooviest corners of their record box over an extended 3 hour sunset set to soundtrack what will be one of Tofte Manor’s most electrifying events yet. With the full line-up still to be revealed, Adriatique’s takeover of Tofte Manor will see thousands of ravers escaping to the countryside for this one-day experience.

Presented as an idyllic retreat just 60 miles North of London, the unique venue has hosted some of electronic music’s biggest names including Jungle, Keinemusik, Maribou State, Dixon, TSHA, Floating Points, and even the worldwide debut live set of Fred Again…

Combining the energy and atmosphere of a spiritual sanctuary, guests will have the opportunity to explore the ancient labyrinth on the grounds of the historic estate and, unburdened by the restrictive sound restrictions experienced at inner-city open-air events, immerse themselves completely in this truly unmissable experience.

July 6th will be the first of two dates for Labyrinth at Tofte Manor next summer, with Fatboy Slim’s event on 7th July already sold out in the pre-sale.

Labyrinth Open Air: Adriatique @ Tofte Manor
Saturday 6th July 2024

Pre-sale tickets go on sale December 1st at 12pm GMT. Exclusively to those who sign up.

Selador has toasted ten rotations round the sun at parties in London, Berlin, Denver, and Amsterdam. The label has birthed magnificent merch, special vinyl editions and musical firecrackers a-plenty…and of course atop the whole b’day cake, has been the label’s Decade series, which throughout the last few months has commemorated this significant milestone.

Charles Webster x Ursula Rucker: ‘Begin Anew’
Charles Webster is a bona fide house music royalty, 35 years of excellence and counting. Ursula Rucker is the legendary Philly poet who has been sought out by The Roots, Louie Vega, Hans Bieger, Ron Trent, Josh Wink and more. A dream pairing to produce a future classic.

Bebetta x Smash TV: ‘Hold On’
Smash TV makes a speedy and oh-so welcome return to the Decade series after Volume 3’s team-up with Just Her, joining forces this time with fellow Titan of Teutonic Tuneage and long-time Selador favourite Bebetta. The result is majestically melodic and effortlessly euphoric.

Timo Maas X Robert Babicz: ‘Eine Reise Zu Zweit’
Eine Reise Zu Zweit translates into English as A Trip for Two, and who better to be the guide down the sonic highway than these two esteemed stalwarts of the scene? It broods and it burbles as it shifts through the gears, the perfect accompaniment for your next dance floor or autobahn adventure. Buckle up.

Steve Parry x Mario Franca x Captain Mustache: ‘Nuvem’
A fitting finale to bring down the curtain on Selador’s Decade escapade, this UK-France-Portugal tag team sees Selador boss man Steve Parry in tandem with label debutants Mario ‘n’ Mustache concocting a rare beauty. Lose yourself as its soul stirring keys and instantly memorable motifs ride serenely over an acidic soundscape.

The Decade Series. 40 artists, 20 collaborations, 5 EPs, 10 years of Selador.

Fritz Kalkbrenner drops new catchy House Single Set You Free on Nasua Music

20/11/2023

by ht Press

In his latest release, \\\”Set You Free,\\\” Fritz Kalkbrenner takes a step into the realm of classic house, delivering a track that whispers of the genre\\\’s golden era. No doubt, the single is a nuanced blend of nostalgia and contemporary finesse. There\\\’s no mistaking that Fritz Kalkbrenner has also taken a little groove and warmth from his passion for boom bap hip hop and subtly woven it into this single.

Stream & Buy https://fritzkalkbrenner.lnk.to/SetYouFree

Furthermore \\\”Set You Free\\\” is a testament to Kalkbrenner\\\’s deep understanding of the roots of house music. The track effortlessly intertwines subdued melodies with the heartbeat of the past, creating an atmosphere that gently transports listeners to the dancefloor . The buttery soft groove permeates the track and touches easily body and soul.

True to the spirit of classic house, \\\”Set You Free\\\” doesn\\\’t scream for attention; instead, it beckons with a gentle allure. A whispered ode to the enduring spirit of house music. The track warmly embraces, gently guiding each listener through the night with a profound understanding of individual experiences, ultimately leading us back into the soft glow of the morning light.

In \\\”Set You Free\\\” Fritz Kalkbrenner adeptly treads the delicate line between the echoes of the past and the pulse of the present. The outcome is a catchy house tune, adorned with the unmistakable signature sound that defines Fritz Kalkbrenner\\\’s musical prowess.

The accompanying music video seamlessly embodies the essence of authenticity and a return to the core, mirroring the freedom of the spirit. It captures a sense of healthy reduction to the essentials, resonating harmoniously with the unspoken beauty of Fritz Kalkbrenner\\\’s musical narrative.

In an additional edit, Fritz Kalkbrenner delivers a poetic rendition. The cosmic soundscape is shaped by reduced drums, heightened percussion, and the absence of vocal samples, creating a setting for this equally warm version that maintains its groove. However, a layer of spoken word is artfully added, delving into the content of the music video and conveying the underlying idea behind the track: It\\\’s about being and accepting yourself.

Marian Mueller & Erlenbrunn return with new promising single ‘About Nuclear Fallout’

19/11/2023

by ht Press

Marian Mueller & Erlenbrunn have done it again. The boys are back with an abstract banger that literally breaks the floor into pieces. After their two releases “Magentic Love” (2017) and “Black Out Sun” (2018), their new joint “About Nuclear Fallout” is now on schedule, completing the single trilogy. In regards to the current political situation Mueller & Erlenbrunn are deconstructing the newly revived atomic threat into a retro futuristic vocoder mosaic. The equally well-known Stachy.DJ delivers the more gritty “Muted Gas Mask Edit”, kicking with a 90s attitude and celebrating boost of distorsion, dirt and syncopated cut ups. Get ready for Mushroom clouds out of the fog machine, nuclear strobe light and thermonuclear drops. Duck and cover. It gets wild.
