Stream: Citizen - Deep End EP

Anyone with an ear to the ground (or the club doors) can identify the gradual revival of house music.  Not that it ever left completely as it has enjoyed a retro appeal for a while now and its influences have been lingering in other genres through the use some of its characteristic sounds.  Nonetheless, the (wider) genre has been rearing its head in a purer form for a while now and Citizen's Deep End EP, which you can listen to below in its entirety, is one of our favorite examples of this.  Coming off as a Chicago House record that's also lived and matured though bass music, post-dubstep and the various techno/minimal trends that have emerged in the decades since the genre's peak.  The Londoner Citizen is definitely on to something here and we look forward to the official release on MadTech Records in mid-June.

Ra.h / Donato Dozzy / Hieroglyphic Being - Redose-1

Morphine Records issue their first remix 12" with a dual bill. On the A-side, master Italian minimalist Donato Dozzy treats '"Spacepops" to a duby hypnotic techno rework sounding slightly like The Field with the less glitch and more of a focus on electronic rather than organic sounds. On the flipside, Hieroglyphic Being aka Jamal Moss delivers a futuristic tribal techno take on 'Freak Inspector' by Madteo and Sensational. Listen to both below:

Watch: Lorn - "Ghosst(s)" Music Video

Lorn is not exactly prolific yet everything he releases is marked by ingenuity and quality. The latest track to surface from his upcoming sophomore LP on Ninja Tune "Ask The Dust" is "Ghosst(s)" which also happens to have a creepy video directed by CRCR.  The press release describes the track and video as follows: 

"Ghosst(s) is the demonstration of the passage from life to death, from a presence to an absence. Various stages are linked together and constituted the transformation of an alive body into an abstract entity."

We totally see and hear that all that and more below. For a free a mp3 of the track and more details on the album releasing on the 19th of June head here. 

Video: Shlohmo – “The Way U Do”

Shlohmo teamed up with director Andrey Nikolaev for the visuals on “The Way U Do”. The tune has a sinister appeal with its eerie vocal samples and creeping beat. The video fits perfectly with the song showcasing some very “fashiony” shots of dancers in freakish costumes, enjoy below…
