Kimball Collins was considered by Jimmy Van M to be one of the founding fathers of the early progressive scene in Florida. With Kimball having new music out now on Making You Dance Records, we take a look at his favourite tracks of the moment in the latest edition of Whatโs In Your Box.
1) Frank Butters presents: Cult of Glamour – Make It Right (Andrew Weatherall Instrumental) (Me Me Me)
Frank Butters presents: Cult of Glamour, the fifth release from one of my favourite up and coming labels Me Me Me run by Man Power featuring the single โMake It Rightโ with Lord Sabre Andrew Weatherall vocal and instrumental remixes being my personal pick but the Ess O Ess mix is equally worth a listen (release date 05.12.17)
2) 2Raumwohnung – Somebody Lonely and Me (DJ Koze Remix) (It Sounds)
The infallible and truly creative DJ Koze gives his own deep and heady treatment to the sublime vocals of 2Raumwohnung as she goes back and forth between English and German with her lyrics, for those not into vocals there is a DJ Koze instrumental as well.
3) Suuns – UN-NO (Marvin & Guy ‘Blue Eyes’ Remix) (Secretly Canadian)
Latest remixes from the talented duo Marvin & Guy who follow up from their epic remix of Brian Cidโs – โPlutoโ on Microcastle here with 3 remixes of the new single โUh-Noโ from Montreal band Suun on Secretly Canadian. This is a vinyl double pack release at the moment, no information yet on digital release at this time.
4) Abstraxion & Kasper Bjorke – Matin (Biologic Records)
โMatinโ is one of the 3 tracks on Abstaxion & Kasper Bjรธrke latest collaboration EP released on Biologic Records. Being a big fan of Kasper Bjorkeโs sequencing and analogue bass-lines combined with the atmospheric techno impressions of Abstraxion I was very eager to hear this EP and was not disappointed. The other two tracks โIvreโ & โNuitโ shouldnโt be missed as well.
5) Sebastien Leger – La Danse Du Scorpion (Original) (Einmusika Recordings)
French modular genius Sebastien Legerโs latest single on Einmusika Recordings โLa Danse Du Scorpionโ or in english โThe Scorpions Danceโ is one of my favourite tracks from Sebastien and features a hauntingly ethnic violin with a subtle yet intense arpeggiated bass-line throughout. Great deep techno track for the summer. Check out the hypnotically lush track โI Need You Moreโ with vocals by Laura Barrick featured on this release as well.
6) Anii – Desert God (Kimball Collins & Rudiment Dark Mix) (Making You Dance)
The remixes for Aniiโs seminal โDesert Godโ single on Miami label Making You Dance include two from myself and Rudiment, the Dark mix takes the track into a driving techno direction with a heavy rolling bass-line building up to the breakdown where the original elements of โDesert Godโ come in to play. The EP also includes a more straight forward deep house mix from myself and Rudiment as well as a stellar remix by Ioanis & Don Son.
7) Anton Dhouran – Osmekha (Original) (Family N.A.M.E)
Young Parsian producer Anton Dhouranโs latest release comes way of the highly respected label Family N.A.M.E featuring the storytelling track โOsmekhaโ, the ethnic Oud instrument is the main feature here giving the track an almost soundtrack like direction but still strong enough for most dance-floors. The release also features a remix by Ruede Hagelstein taking it into a more cerebral and subtle variation of the original.
8) Bruscagin & Visnadi – Time Machine (Siamese)
The fourth release on one of the hottest deep & dark techno labels at the moment Siamese, a 3 track EP by Bruscagin & Visnadi. โTime Machineโ is just that deep, dark and hypnotic techno at its best. The release includes โAgartha Storiesโ and โYellow Gardenโ, one of the strongest deep techno releases of the year so far.
9) T & P – Hail Falls (Dark Sky Remix) (Feel My Bicep)
Tim Sweeney & Lauer operating as T & P with their new release โHail Failsโ on Feel My Bicep, a heavily filtered analog bass-line carries throughout Dark Skyโs remix with just enough melody to maintain a balance of warmth to the remix. The release also includes remix by Hammer along with the original.
10) James Welsh – Standing (Phantasy Sound)
James Welsh better known as Kamera is back with one of my favourite peak-time tunes at the moment on Phantasy Sound, โStandingโ is a straight forward yet relentless almost industrial like techno track, this release also includes the much deeper more experimental techno track โSlipโ.
