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: 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: 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.
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: Hailing from the Spanish city of Valencia, DJ/producer Edu Imbernon teams up with fellow countrymen Delmar Dos Santos and Alvaro Munoz aka Los Suruba (Nazca / Sol Selectas / Tale & Tone) to deliver their brand new EP. Having previously collaborated on a number of occasions, the trio once again seamlessly combine emotive, melodic techno sounds with spiritual undertones and tribal desert vibes on the absolutely epic "Balear". Afro house hero Hyenah then follows through with his spiritually enchanting rework. Second original offering "Mehari" is a slinky and hypnotic tech house excursion which explores the power of atmosphere, with Fell Reis then offering up their remix of the track in absolutely evocative and life affirming fashion.
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: 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: Newcastle's Christoph is on a roll right now with releases on a who's who in tech house such as as Circus, Warung and Knee Deep In Sound who presented his brilliant 8 Track LP in 2016. He now appears for Sasha's esteemed Last Night On Earth imprint for some moody and atmospheric progressive house on the Eleven EP. The title track is deep mood lighting for the early evening with its slinky groove, supported wonky synth leads, epic organs and all round head rush inducing aesthetic. "The Upside Down" is more straight ahead and is perfect to lead in to the peak time with its Reese bassline, shimmering arpeggio and dark strings transporting you into the void: all with perfect dancefloor drama in mind. Afterwards, "The Upside Down (Darker Dub)" does exactly what it says in the tin on this fierce version, which distilled down right to its aesthetic and will allow for some sinister moments similar to grooves n Adam Beyer's Truesoul.
