Pig & Dan and Mark Reeve – Turbulence / Violets (Bedrock Digital)

If you’re talking about exciting underground producers, two of the first names out of the hat should always be Igor Tchkotoua and Dan Duncan (aka Pig&Dan), since 1999 their distinctive mixture of influences has given them a sound that is both innovative and easily recognizable. Their Sonic Society label and relationship with Sven Vath’s Cocoon family have led to global respect for this dynamic duo.
Recently, they teamed up with English ex-pat Mark Reeve (and Malta’s Dean Demanuele) to create a truly international melting pot of hip-swinging, groovy rhythms on ‘Machines’, which is a standout track on Bedrock’s stellar ‘Underground Sound Of Miami’ compilation, currently sitting at No.5 in the Beatport Techno Chart. Now they return with two more highly anticipated, stunning tracks from those exciting collaborative sessions.
‘Turbulence’ (also featured on John Digweed’s forthcoming ‘Live In Cordoba’ triple CD package and 2×12″ Ltd Vinyl – out on Bedrock 30/04/12) is a wonderfully wobbly, percussive masterclass, while ‘Violets’ is a snappy, hook driven tech builder that shouldn’t be missed.
Once again, it’s hats off to Bedrock for raising the bar even higher with each release. In this day and age to not only survive as an independent label, but also to flourish and constantly evolve, bringing forward new and also exciting established talent, is something that should be applauded.

Vincenzo – Hume EP (Bedrock Digital)(Preview)

Germany’s Vincenzo is one of the stars of the Hamburg club scene. Originally spotted and guided by Steve Bug, he released his debut LP on the stylish Dessous label and is now an internationally respected producer. Spotters will already be well aware of Vincenzo’s excellent remix of Mutant Clan’s ‘On And Amp’ (featured on John Deigweed’s ‘Structures’ album) and his lush, piano laden deep house track for Bedrock 12 (‘Epic’), which was a collaboration with Lovebirds (aka Sebastian ‘Basti’ Doering). Having ticked the remix and collaboration boxes successfully, it’s now time to unleash Vincenzo’s debut EP on Bedrock.
‘To Hume’ is an energetic melodic beauty, which will surely prove to be a big tune for many DJs for months to come. It’s a proper feel-good, hands in the air top quality production. ‘Yarra Valley’ takes a deeper house but no less uplifting route and is destined to be a huge (check it!) summer tune. You need Vincenzo in your life! Here comes the sun!

John Digweed & Nick Muir – Bilder (incl. Wiretappeur Remix)

John Digweed & Nick Muir
1. Bilder (Club Mix)
2. Bilder (Wiretappeur Remix)
(Bedrock Digital) Beddigi07
Release: 08/11/10
Following on from the excellent – Sian “Dreams Are Maps” – release, the Bedrock Digital label returns with the heavyweight “Bilder” by none other than John Digweed and Nick Muir.
Between them, these two producers of the finest electronic dance music, have been involved in many pivotal moments in the world of club music and have in many ways helped to define genres & push the boundaries further over the years. Bilder was first showcased on the recent Bedrock 12 label compilation and here has been reworked by the duo into a brand new Club Mix. As with all their releases, this is another mission statement to show that they are not resting on past laurels but always developing their sound in an exciting direction.
Remix duties fall to Wiretappeur – a production partnership between Florian Kruse, Nils Nurnberg and Stel. Their My Real Name Is track and remix of Dirty Mongrel were a standout tracks on Structures. Their two versions of Too Much Space on the Bedrock 12 compilation once again showed their highly original and deep understanding of the power of melody, so they were the perfect candidates to take Bilder in another exciting direction and provide a fitting alternative to the Club Mix.
Two great versions of one great track, yet another great release from Bedrock.
