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: 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: Following on from his joint release with K?lsch earlier this year, Sasha now flies solo with "Ripcord" on his own label. As one might expect from the master of deep, progressive house, his latest release is a long, drawn-out affair, that starts with a moody, growling bass and stripped back beats. Gradually however, the storied DJ introduces frosty, tranced out synths, otherworldly blips - and what sounds like an airplane landing - all set to driving percussion. As one would expect from the master of seamless, long mixes, it's designed to be played at maximum volume in a dark, sweaty room.

Review: Berlin-based Polish sensation Vonda7 returns to Sasha's esteemed Last Night On Earth imprint, with more bold and stylish tech house moves on the French Express EP. She's not messing around either, getting into the very direct Berliner way of style of things on "Simple & Direct" - indeed this straightforward banger with savage acid inflections gets the job done in functional fashion. The streamlined heads down tackle is equally catered for on the title track, utilising some sophisticated melodic structures, while closer "Tropfchen" sees her polish up on both her command of the local language and her precision studio skills on this slinky and hypnotic progressive house journey. It is perfect to lose yourself in its magic on the dancefloor. More terrific stuff by the art-werk records boss.
By Love They Will Quench The Fires Of Hate - (3:37) 125 BPM
Review: As a producer, Mancunian Joseph Kindred's records have been played by Jackmaster, Dubfire, Joris Voorn, Maya Jane Coles and countless others. To top that, he's released across labels such as Acid Test, True Romance, VIVa and now this brand new scorcher on Sasha's Last Night On Earth. Mind the dramatic title, "By Love They Will Quench The Fires Of Hate" is quite a fitting one for this epic serving of dancefloor drama - equal parts tension and suspense. This is followed by the slinky and hypnotic journey down the spiral that is "Forgotten Angel" (original mix) which also receives a stellar rework by Lossless boss Mathias Schober - his Bass Tool remix optimised for DJ use and goes properly deep.
Review: Last Night On Earth chief Sasha takes control on the label's 93rd edition and displays yet again his talent for atmospheric dance music that is balanced by ethereal tension and suspense on the sublime "Smoke Monk". On the remix is Berlin based up and comer Vonda7, who appeared on the label earlier in 2018 with the Together EP. The 6am Flight remix takes the track into hypnotic and tunnelling territory, fuelled by mentalist 303 acid lines and all-consuming layers of pads above its restrained groove. Following up some terrific releases in recent months by Christoph, Jody Barr and Baile - LNOE continues to deliver the goods.
Review: Geordie tech house hero Cristopher Costigan is back on Last Night On Earth, following up 2017's scorching Eleven EP. Taking up where he left off last year, "The Duel" demonstrates Christoph's fine knack for slinky and hypnotic tech-house: that's equal parts groove and suspense to boot. "Revolver" exercises more restraint on this melodic and moody serving of dancefloor drama that's perfect for when they turn the lights down low, while "Tremble" hammers the message home in style on this cyclical and etheric tool that's perfect for DJ's to transition in our out of the peak time shift. Following up some terrific releases of late on Pryda, Suara and Bedrock, Christoph continues on with his winning streak.
Review: Portable Minds boss and a stalwart of James Zabiela's Born Electric imprint, British rising star Jody Barr makes his debut on Sasha's Last Night On Earth with a massive new EP. This follows up a the terrific "Amae" by New York City's Reed Rackley aka Baile last month. The London by way of Berlin-based Barr demonstrates he's quite confident at creating sturdy straight-up techno like on "Filtered Images" as he is at making sleek and bold acid house like on "Marlon Brando".
Review: London's John Monkman is back again, after some stellar releases in recent times for top labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Noir and Suara. His latest offering for Last Night On Earth (Sasha's progressive-house powerhouse) has you all sorted for evocative and suspense filled dancefloor drama guaranteed. On "Mad Hatter" prepare to be hypnotised by the track's epic, Recondite style melody and brooding atmosphere. There is more of the same on the emotive epic "Make Noize" featuring nefariously mechanical sound design and eerie textures to create an element of tension throughout. This one will accentuate all those strobe-lit moments of truth on the dancefloor! Finally "INAWIO" demonstrates once more how this talented producer has mastered his craft within the studio with a composition packed full of evocative elements and tightly engineered production values. Monkman is one to watch for sure in 2018!
Review: Ireland's Ejeca returns after some killer releases on Aus, Bpitch Control and 2020 Vision with this new one for Sasha's Last Night on Earth entitled Dizorn EP. The title track is a dark and brooding effort which packs in a nasty stomp beneath its seething 'Reese' style hoover leads and wonky synth stabs. "Tajmahal" is a more restrained and atmospheric cut with its sonar bleep techno style melody and minimal rhythms creating a sense of suspense and tension throughout. Netherlands based young gun Budakid also gets onboard to deliver a remix of said track which takes it down a much more progressive house style vibe and with even more elaborate production values: very impressed by this one.
