LWE Podcast 79: Jacob Korn
For LWE’s 79th podcast, Jacob Korn put together ten of tracks from his decade of productions, which charts some of his big tracks next to some of his lesser known audible nuggets.
The Tortoise, Gonna Be
Well versed in the party end of deep house, The Tortoise’s Gonna Be takes another look at tropes which often come out as clichés in other producers’ hands.
BBH: The Memory Foundation, Greenflash EP
Released during Memory Foundation’s most prolific period, the four track Greenflash EP offers examples of some of their best work.
LWE Podcast 76: Anton Zap
Without a wrong move to his name it seems every release from Anton Zap is not just essential listening, but is also an improvement on the last. LWE tracked down the producer to for our 75th exclusive podcast: 50 minutes of deep house full of unreleased tracks.
Joshua Iz, It Iz What It Iz
For what is essentially a collection of dance floor tracks, Joshua Iz’s It Iz What It Iz flows with all the peaks and valleys of an artist album.
Various Artists, Superlongevityfive
While at first blush Superlongevityfive seems to maintain Perlon’s status quo, further inspection reveals there are almost as many sides to the compilation as there are tracks.
LWE Podcast 74: Giles Smith
As one half of Secretsundaze, Giles Smith has been providing London with a soundtrack of house and techno via their bi-weekly parties for the better part of ten years. We caught up with him talk about the past and future of the parties and what’s up next for Two Armadillos. Smith also recorded LWE’s 74th podcast, a one-take, all vinyl set encapsulating why he’s sought after around the globe.
LWE Podcast 73: Jon McMillion
The incredible full length debut by Seattle native Jon McMillion dropped in the closing months of 2010 turned out to be the dark horse ticket of the year. When we asked Jon to do a podcast for us, he went several steps further by putting together a completely new set of his own material, so this week’s podcast is in essence a free album of all new productions.
Lauer, H.R. Boss/Banned
Lauer’s latest 12″ for Live At Robert Johnson carries all of his hallmark consistencies in the graceful, melancholic groove of “HR Boss” and the Italo by-way-of Detroit disco mover “Banned.”
Various Artists, Peculiar/3 Züge
Peculiar/3 Züge, the latest offering from Villalobos’s Sei Es Drum, is likely to be the label’s most popular release to date even as it divides opinions.
Bakey Ustl, E.P.1
Bakey Ustl’s debut release arrived a little too late to figure in any best-of lists, but that doesn’t diminish the strength of his stunning EP for Firecracker’s off-shoot, Unthank.
BBH: Pile, Perlipop
Perlon’s founders Markus Nikolai and Thomas Franzmann made only one 12″ together as Pile, Perlipop, which was quite indicative of the time and the ethos of the label.
Margaret Dygas, How Do You Do
How Do You Do, Margaret Dygas’ debut album on Japanese label Power Shovel Audio, is one of the few long players in 2010 to explore the more cerebral side of the art.
Ric Y Martin, Camino Ensenada/Teiwass
Originally released on the Episode label as “Cerro San Cristobel” and “Teiwass” in 2000, these two slices of Chilean, minimal funk breathe life once more.
Paul Ritch & D’Julz, Run
With Run, Parisian talents Paul Ritch and D’Julz prove effective as production partners. 2000 And One and Visionquest feature as remixers.
Gene Hunt & Ron Hardy, Throwback ’87
Continuing in their role as house music’s leading archeologists, Rush Hour look into early works from the teenage Gene Hunt as protege to Ron Hardy’s mentor.
Lucy, Kalachakra
With Kalachakra, Lucy continues to work a introspective, almost meditative element into his tough techno sound.
BBH: Various Artists, Further Adventures In Techno Soul
The second artist compilation on Ferox Records brought all of its disparate influences together and still stands today as a fine calling card for Russ Gabriel’s label.
Little White Earbuds Interviews Mount Kimbie
With the markers of just what exactly constitutes dubstep in perpetual motion, Mount Kimbie have been doing their part to blur the lines even further. LWE sat down with Dominic Maker and Kai Campos to talk about influences, recording the album and the future of the duo.
