Review: Sasha's latest single Fleuron Drift marks yet another milestone in the electronic maestro's illustrious career. Collaborating with Theo Kottis and Kassian for remixes on his own label (Last Night On Earth ), Sasha continues to redefine the boundaries of sonic intrepidation. The original track is a deeper journey, meticulously crafted with evolving synth layers and hypnotic drum patterns that culminate in a euphoric breakdown. Theo Kottis injects his remix with dynamic energy, featuring tech-leaning drums and glitchy textures for peak dance floor moments. Kassian's rendition then offers a quicker pace, blending funk-infused drums with soaring synth tension, promising to transport listeners yet more electronic bliss fit for a final night on this world. Drift away.
Review: Next up on Sasha's always impressive Last Night On Earth label comes the debut of Irishman DART (Dublin Area Rapid Tracks) who had an excellent debut on Brooklyn's Homage earlier this year. He keeps up with the same quality on his new offering entitled "Sweet Nectar", a glassy-eyed and bittersweet epic which gracefully packs a punch also. This is followed by the majestic dancefloor drama of "Theatre Of Dogs" and the evocative breaks of "Move Faster" which call to mind the late '90s sounds that Sasha himself was playing at the time. This is followed by a remix from DART's fellow countrymen heroes Brame & Hamo (Splendor & Squalour) who will have you fully trancing out with their rendition.
Review: Working under his Polymod alias, Shadow Child recorded this release during lockdown. He collaborated with Sasha on the title track, and the label owner's influence is audible on the vocal snippets and synth stabs that accompany the tough, steely rhythm. Flying solo for the rest of the release, Shadow Child goes deeper with the woozy synth hooks of "Clouds", while on "A New Zero", he opts for a more restrained approach, as ominous bass underpins dreamy, floating melodies. "Rain" is on a more stripped back tip, with the storied producer dropping a ponderous bass that underpins tripped out but still melancholic melodies.
Review: Manchester producer and vocalist Artche makes his way to Sacha's Last Night On Earth label with two originals and the fresh "Siren Chords" collaboration. Next to some solid, rocksteady and trademark Sascha break beats, Laurie Anderson-esque "Oh Superman" vocal expressions add a backing track to the tremolo-effected chorus of Artche lyrics in "Siren Chords". With warping effects and reversed synths pitched alongside the melancholic twist of the track's heavy bassline and trance-centric nature, pure production bliss meets seething nostalgic heat. With booming 808s pumping at full tilt in "Split Open", Artche's vocal here are reminiscent of the aching expressions in Junior Boys hit "Work", while yearning bleeps are furthermore soothed by the crooning tones of Artche's delivery and articulation in "One Who Knows". Mancunian master at work.
Review: After some promising efforts on Under No Illusion, Nurvous and Witty Tunes, it seems that rising Liverpudlian James Organ has now hit the big time - if this effort on Sasha's Last Night On Earth is anything to go by. The Transmit EP features a selection of evocative sonic narratives: from the hypnotising title track, to the ethereal mood music of "Elara" or the bittersweet dancefloor drama of "Muuden" which also recieves a sublime rework by ascendant Palestinian DJ Sama Abdulhadi - and it's also her impressive studio debut.
Review: Garry McCartney aka Ejeca returns to Last Night on Earth with a hypnotic dance floor EP. The title revolves around a brooding bass and hollowed out kicks, which he uses as a basis for uplifting melodies, tropical forest samples and haunting tribal chants. On "Your Mind", he ups the pace to deliver a pumping club rhythm that resounds to repetitive vocal samples and crisp claps. "Artmeis" sees him veer back towards a tranced out route, led by shimmering synth lines and dubbed out kicks. Finally, "Diskord" sees Ejeca display his techno credentials, with a pumping groove underpinning the kind of churning chord sequences that prevail on classic Force Inc releases.
Review: Issac's debut release for Last Night On Earth has all of the elements that will appeal to fans of Sasha's label. The title track sees this upcoming producer fuse jittery back beats with dreamy synths and sublime, neo-classical melodies. On the original version of "It's An Extreme Life", Issac loops tranced out hooks and chiming bells over a straighter groove, while on the dub take he opts for a somewhat leaner, more streamlined rhythm as a backdrop for his shimmering musicality. Of all his tracks however, it's the bubbling rhythm and slightly epic melodies of "Rimel" that will endear him the most to Last Night On Earth's fans.
Review: Following his recent release on Odd Even, Dubspeeka now makes his debut on Last Night On Earth. "Torn434" sees him at his most reflective, with tranced out chords unfolding over a stripped back groove. It makes for a haunting, evocative deep techno arrangement. On "Torn392", the UK producer picks up the pace, with dense drums and tight claps underpinning dreamy textures; as the arrangement drops, brittle break beats are introduced to mark the transition. "Torn334" is the most ominous track; with its billowing chords and spaced out, filtered kick drums, it'll appeal to techno fans who might not normally gravitate towards material on Sasha's imprint.
Review: Rising British duo Maribou State released their breakthrough track "Rituals" on Counter Records last year showcasing their gorgeous and ethereal electronica sounds to the world. The track has now been picked up by Sasha with a pair of "Rutuals" remixes from the UK legend now issued on his own Last Night On Earth imprint. Mr Coe transforms "Rituals" into the ultimate journey track which gallops through the darklands relentlessly n its nine minute glory, done in a way that only such a master of the progressive house sound can. The "Sasha House Mix" is a bit more restrained and not as dark, definitely more uplifting with that shuffling synth and wonky synth melody.
Review: A few weeks ago you may remember us asking if James Burnham ever finds time to sleep? Clearly not! The Middlesbourough native and Constant Sound main man takes time out from the Burnski alias and is on a roll as James Solace, following up a terrific efforts for Hot Creations and Knee Deep In Sound. His new hit prediction is "Ghost Town", a rolling funky house tool which is sure to cause a stir in the clubs, not to mention the energised and tranced-out euphoria of "Universal" and the utterly hypnotic prog house epic "Spectral" which will work a treat under the strobe lights. Finally, the Afro house influenced "Thoughts" provides emotive and spiritual vibes.
Review: Praised for his multifaceted style, AFFKT is a purveyor of melodic techno and contemporary electronic music. The Spanish rising star is back with a three track EP for Sasha's Last Night On Earth imprint entitled Your Story Is Part Of Me. It features the slinky and hypnotic tech house of "Assault", the evocative and similarly mesmerising bounce of "Penjoll" and the glassy-eyed and bittersweet slow burner "Ippon". The Valencia-based producer runs the Sincopat imprint and has served up releases on labels as diverse as Stil Vor Talent, Mobilee, Disco Halal and Needwant over the last few years.
