Snipp B2 - Steven Cock - Black Soul - Original AMA015 by Ama Recordings
Ama Recordings is the label Mannheim’s Ray Okpara has been running since 2010 and for its 15th outing turns to Nekes and Steve Cock for five tracks of irresistible tech house. Nekes is the Greek born boss of Oslo, another tech house label known for its consistently engaging output, and the label where he has released most of his music to date. The Germany based producer’s first cut, ‘Thank You Neighbour’ is a rolling steely cut with tightly locked beats and bass, an involving electronic pulse at its heart and the sort of clipped groove that it is impossible to ignore. ‘Donmakoto’ is a slightly slower, deeper, warmer affair with low down bass, rubbery kicks and hooky little percussive wiggles that bring plenty of dynamic movement to the loopy drums below. Buyers of a digital persuasion will also get treated to digi-only bonus ‘Dagles’, a dubbed out roller with sonorous chords and stripped back design that really weaves its way under your skin. Steve Cock is another German producer with a reputation for crafting fine dancefloor bombs. They have come on labels like Cargo Edition and Avida Musik before now and manage to embody influences from a much wider musical sphere. Cock’s first jam is ‘Cycles’, which indeed rotates in catchy little circles, where flappy kicks under pin shimmying percussive patterns and various other loops drop in and out to hypnotic effect. Completing his brace of contributions is ‘Black Soul’, which rattles and rumbles as a non-descript male vocal mutters up top. It’s slowly building stuff that builds and builds the tension, eventually releasing it with some lush and liquid jazzy chords. It’s feel good stuff that demands to be played on a terrace under warm sun. With this EP Ray Okpara’s label re-establishes high quality levels for the tech house genre and reminds us just how essential a genre it is when done properly.

The Toothe - "Mustard" by TeamClermont
Release Date: June 10 Contact: Bill at teamclermont dot com ----- FADE IN: 1. EXTERIOR. A GROVE OF GNARLED OLIVE TREES. DUSK. In the pale moonlight, a hunched figure is digging into the rough earth with his bare hands. Exhausted, the figure gives up, rests briefly, and then returns, more furiously than ever, to digging. VOICEOVER (MORGAN FREEMAN?): “Time creeps like a yellow fog. Slow and slinking, but unstoppable. Enveloping us, eventually. Until we’re walking blind. But in the distance, though we cannot discern its source, music plays. The music of The Toothe…” CUT TO: 2. INTERIOR. DIMLY LIT ROOM. Three men, bearded, sit in the half-light. Their voices are raised in harmony, full and rich, filling the room. Strewn around them are their instruments: acoustic guitars, a banjo, a bass, keyboards, harmonicas, and more. VOICEOVER: “The Toothe share a musical chemistry born of a lifetime of collaboration and experimentation. Raised in the same small Piedmont town, they relocated to the mountains of Asheville to explore and develop their mutual love of song. The fruit of their partnership has often been shockingly eclectic, including a Norwegian Black Metal project, a disturbingly dark Children’s Album, and several self-released records worth of deceptively charming, patently weird Folk Noir. The Toothe’s most recent effort is The Talons EP, a six-song foray into a hook-laden and intensely engaging sound they call Apocalyptic Americana. Recorded in their home studio and mixed by Danny Kadar (Band of Horses, The Avett Brothers, My Morning Jacket), The Talons EP draws from a deep well of American musical tradition while simultaneously reveling in a jubilant pop energy and outlandishly off-kilter lyrical musings. The songs of The Talons EP, which range from up-beat and lively pop delight to contemplative and intricately-crafted ballads, aim to take the listener on a psychedelic journey across mesmerizing musical and emotional landscapes. Known for their captivating, high-energy live performances, The Toothe have travelled up and down the Eastern Seaboard with their music, capturing the hearts and eardrums of everyone they encounter. What the future holds for this band is uncertain, but there is no doubt that they will continue to expand into uncharted musical territory, paving their own way.” CUT TO: 3. EXTERIOR. OLIVE GROVE. MORNING. Three men, bearded, emerge from the trees, squinting in the bright sunlight. They gather silently around a small mound of fresh earth. A glance passes between them. FADE TO BLACK. ROLL CREDITS. ………………………………………. Track Listing: 1. Earthworms 2. Mustard 3. Husk 4. Slab 5. Wine-Dark 6. Talons
