SCUBA - BLACK ON BLACK (LEN FAKI GOES WHITE REMIX) Len Faki serves up three remixes on Hidden Objects The pair expertly fuse heavy production with honey-sweet vocals, creating that is complex, refreshing and minimalist all at once. Their latest drop 'Because' features a club-ready combination of deep, heady bass and slick electronics, complemented by hypnotic layers of distorted vocals. Both captivating and melodic, the track exemplifies their dark and abstract style. Smerz started gaining attention over the summer thanks to a bewitching series of shows across the Scandinavian festival scene, including Roskilde, Insomnia, Way Out West and Øyafestivalen. Armed with a striking ability to meld feminine melodies with hard- hitting production, Smerz are clearly a duo on the ascent. The Copenhagen-based Norwegian producer duo serve big beats Defected honour one of house music's brightest current stars by asking him to make his entry into their hallowed In The House series ONES TO WATCH SMERZ L MOFFA ALBUM OF THE MONTH DEFECTED PRESENTS SONNY FODERA IN THE HOUSE As anyone who has been to one of his shows anywhere in the world will attest, Sonny Fodera is a dance music superstar. In the last year he played Amnesia no fewer than six times, headlined club and festivals on most major continents, and released his music on Defected as well as Visionquest and Dirtybird. For his mix, Sonny really proves that he has a cultured understanding of house music from across the ages. The whole thing is littered with plenty of his own magical and wholly exclusive tracks, and they really prove what a consistent and prolific producer he is. Disc 1 is a largely Sonny-focused affair with many exclusive cuts of his, as well as remixes of his work by stars like Doorly. Disc 2 finds him mixing up his own work with some key influences such as label mate Franky Rizardo, Classic man Seven Davis Jr, DirtyBird boss Claude Vonstroke and new school stars like Josh Butler. The third and final disc is a collection of Sonny's own originals and remixes, and is a testament to his skill as a studio wizard as well as DJ icon.. 28 Issue 83 / 2016 HOUSE/ TECHNO guestlist.net Totally Mobilee Anja Schneider Collection 2 Various Artists Black Sun Sidney Charles Optimism EP Dosem Katarsis EP Fur Coat Anjunadeep The Yearbook 2015 Various Artists BPM Sampler 2016 Various Artists Marvelous EP Noir Behind The Scenes Reboot The Remixes Nina Kraviz Ghostwriter/Stay Sante Parquet Goodies 2015 Various Artists Neon Ramiro Lopez NEW RELEASES More @ guestlist.net/house The Figure head honcho Len Faki reworks tracks from Slam, Scuba and Philippe Petit on his new project, which was originally never intended for release. Hidden Objects sees Len Faki revealing a different side to his musical identity as well as drawing out unseen elements of the original material. He explores the idea of opposition throughout the EP, notably by re- interpreting his own remix of Scuba's 'Black on Black'. This time going into the opposite white direction, he used anthemic pads over the boucy bassline to open a more musical and melodic side to the track.
