Here's a new remix record from Aaron Spectre, an American producer known for building bridges. Nearly a decade after his first "Amen, Punk" vinyl was released in Japan and became a worldwide underground staple, he's back refining the energetic hybrid sound further. Jungle Boots is four tracks of genre-unifying white label goodness, flawlessly cut to vinyl and ready to rock.
DJ Marcelle is one of the most seasoned and widely respected DJ's in Europe. She's a true pioneer with her 'free', brave and creative way of mixing. Besides this she has always been following the latest developments in forward-thinking music and has therefore a keen ear for exciting new sounds. For the label Klangbad, owned by Hans-Joachim Irmler of krautrock band Faust, she has released four double vinyl albums, mainly dedicated to and comprising her three turntable composition/mix talents. The Munich based label JAHMONI is proud to release her first 2-track Club EP.
In The Wrong Direction echoes what she does on stage: it's non-mainstream club music, and it's highly functional. Marcelle is on a life-long quest of proving that most music in club culture is quite boring but that's justified as having to be so because of functionality and audience expectation, while she claims that this is not true, it's just a lack of intelligence, courage and creativity on the part of most dj's. According to DJ Marcelle, you can make the most boring crowd dance to the most awkward music recording, it all depends on attitude, mixtalents and in which context you present it. And it's in this spirit, that the two tracks on this 10inch are both provocative and unusual, but at the same real club smashers - the stuff you play at prime time in your set. Genre-wise we're speaking NL tribal techno, post dubstep, broken beats, glitch, eclecticism, but really, we're talking about attitude, roughness, freedom and - a raving dancefloor.
The DJ/production duo from Munich back with four tracks full of bass-heavy excursions into hybrid forms of club music close to Grime, Dancehall, Dub, Techno and the yet unnamed territory in between - their natural habitat.
Lead single and first track of the EP is Copper And Lead, which features "London city warlord" Riko Dan of Roll Deep fame, spitting dangerous lyrics on a Bashment/Grimeriddim.
Following this is Blurred Vision, a low end monster named after their gigantic soundsystem event series, exploring the middle ground between Dub and the technoleaning 4x4 universe. Up next is Killer, a song with Warrior Queen from Jamaica, who prepares for a Dancehall dub war on a 808-heavy beat straight from Miami...err, Munich.
Topping the EP off is Siren Riddim, an instrumental uptempo bomb for the apocalypse club gang and all the gunfinger crew.
It’s the first EP in a series of three, leading up to an Haul & Pull Up album in early 2017. With this, Schlachthofbronx will follow up their three previous original albums (2009s Schlachthofbronx, 2012s Dirty Dancing and 2014s Rave And Romance), completed by EPs for Labels like Mixpak, Monkeytown, Mad Decent, Disko B and Man Recordings as well as production work for artists like M.I.A., Snoop Dogg, Major Lazer or Bonde Do Role.
