Gary Beck - Enough Talk EP

Gary Beck Soma Techno Enough Talk
1. Gary Beck - Enough Talk
2. Gary Beck - Fereneze

After last year’s beautifully crafted Tijuana EP, Gary Beck returns to Soma Records to release the eagerly anticipated Enough Talk//Fereneze EP.

Kicking off the release is Enough Talk, a gradual and building track, simplistic in nature but effective in practice. Hovering synths keep a continuous feel while Gary’s trusty knowledge of his chosen fx add a little bit of excitement in the form of springing delays and bouncing echoes. A subtle and mesmerising number from the on-form Gary Beck.



Fereneze brings us to the darker side of Gary Beck providing the spine-tingling beats and shuffling percussion for which he is known best. Tough and aggressive Fereneze packs both bark and bite!



These tracks guarantee to damage all involved on the floor.

Harvey McKay - SHIFT ep, out now on Soma

1. Harvey McKay - Shift
2. Harvey McKay - Shift (Rich Jones Remix)
3. Harvey McKay - After Hours

After the massive success of the Nightwalker EP, Harvey McKay returns to Soma with his latest release, Shift.

Harvey firmly cements his trademark sound in this release with two original tracks and a crafty remix of the title track by Rich Jones.

The back bone of Shift is made up of a driving kick and sub-bass combo. This is present throughout the track as the subtle samples and minimalistic and old-skool sounding synths build around it. The bassline grows deeper as the track progresses through the gears, with enough growl to rumble the guts of any seasoned clubber.



The Rich Jones remix works on a thoroughly grooving beat, with hefty bass and shuffling percussive rhythms working in tandem. There is a slightly acidic squelch in Rich’s remix – filtering up slowly and encouraging tension. This remix covers both the menacing and the playful in equal measures.



After Hours adopts a more melodic approach. Some quality chords played on the synths gives this track its soul while the beats and percussion allow it to hold its own on the dance-floor.



Shift builds on the precedent set by Nightwalker and is a true reflection of Harvey’s style. ENJOY, you can get it on beatport:

The SLAM tent 2010: T in The Park full line-up details!

SLAM TENT SPINS INTO A NEW DECADE OF DANCE:

With the first T in the Park of the decade drawing near, the complete Slam Tent line-up can now be revealed for 2010 with an outstanding bill of names from techno titans to hip-hop heroes. This tent has it all under one famous big blue roof. With the T in the Park line-up already hailed as ‘flawless’, the Slam Tent (an institution in its own right) has been scrupulously curated to provide the essential festival dance music experience with Carl Cox and Richie Hawtin presents Plastikman headlining this year.



Dance veteran Carl Cox returns still reigning supreme at the top of his game after a 10 year hiatus from the Scottish fields of Balado. After bringing the first Slam Tent of the millennium to a close, 10 years on he’s back to entertain the masses. A musical maestro since he was a tot, a DJ since he was a mere 15, Carl Cox emits a love of his work that is dangerously infectious. You name it, Carl's been there and done it covering every inch of techno turf possible showing no sign of slowing down pace with the release of his much-anticipated artist album, ‘All Roads Lead To The Dancefloor,’ out later this year. It seems only right that he should play the first Slam Tent of the decade as the headliner on Saturday 10th July.

The alter ego of one of the world’s most revered electronic DJs and producers Richie Hawtin presents Plastikman (Live) at T in the Park as part of the first ever global Plastikman tour. Dedicated Plastikfans will be blown away in 2010 as Hawtin's musical history and technological experimentations come together to allow Plastikman to once again reconfigure the futuristic musical landscape. His latest experiment, SYNK is a free app moving social networking and crowd sourcing on to a whole new level. Developed as part of the Plastikman project it allows fans to control elements of what happens on stage during a show. The roles can switch at any given time adding an electrifying element of surprise to him and the crowd. Plastikman (Live) will bring Sunday night to a spinning close.





The nimble flows and stunning beats of the final names to be announced for this year’s Slam Tent are Andrew Weatherall & Ivan Smagghe, Pan-Pot, Harvey McKay (Live) and Gary Beck.

.......So what inspired Music For Real Airports?

“In ’79, when I first heard Music For Airports by Brian Eno, I remember reading a great article about it and it sounded so fantastic conceptually.

“I remember listening to it and being incredibly disappointed. Because of my punk background spent living and working up north I don’t think there were much realism in there. I understood that he were pitching it at a utopian vision, but for us it just seemed so out of place, like something from a sci-fi film.”
