Phonogenic - Woah! - Fresh Meat Records (FMR16) Out now on Beatport. Available all other shops 13 February. TRACK SAMPLES: Woah! (Original Mix) Woah! (Nathan Drew Larsen Remix) Woah! (Alt Mix) WHAT THEIR SAYING: Timo Maas - Nathan Drew Larsen remix is great. Cool release all around. Ken Ishi - Nice release. Cool groove on the original mix. King Roc - There is an urgency in the original that is infectious. The groove works very nicely. Phil Weeks - Sounds good. Will work for me in some late night action. Alexkid - The Alt mix has a really bizarre vibe that I love. Funk D'Void - Brilliant dark and twisted bass line; afterhours heaven. Darko Esser - Both original mixes are working great. Wicked stuff indeed! Pete Dafeet - Great release; Nathan's remix is fantastic. Also loved and supported by Luke Solomon, Shur-I-Kan, Marco Resmann, Deetron, Joris Voorn, Dirt Crew, James Talk, Laurent Garnier, Style Of Eye and Estroe. THE STORY BEHIND THE MUSIC: Fresh Meat's first single of 2009 comes courtesy of Tuomas Salmela under his Phonogenic alias. Tuomas has been working the European dance music underground for years. You should be familiar with his releases on 20:20 Vision, Mood Music, Poker Flat or even the late Chicago giant Guidance Recordings. More recently he released "The Last Beer on Earth" on Sven Vath's Cocoon Recordings, gaining massive support – including frequent plays on BBC Radio One's Essential Mix by John Digweed. His recent collaboration with Jori Hulkkonen as Discemi lead to standout releases in 2008 on two of dance music's most influential labels, Get Physical Music and Rekids. With his brilliant versions of "Woah!" Tuomas pushes the futuristic Phonogenic concept into new creative territory for Fresh Meat. The original version is a hybrid of big room dynamics and deep moody house modulations. A heavy kick drum and subsonic bass provide anchor to tight dramatic pads, a host of bubbling beats and a non-stop barrage of cosmic sound effects. The Original Mix is science fiction deep house with a big foot. The Alt Mix raises the energy with growling siren like keys and a more in-your-face build up of all the elements. The counter point to these sonic pyrotechnics is a vocal sample screaming the track's name sake in a unison of male voices. The deftly placed vox sample shakes up the otherwise hypnotic rhythms, heating up both tracks and maximizing the dance floor mayhem! We commissioned Chicago post house producer, Nathan Drew Larsen, to create a wholly different interpretation of "Woah!". Nathan's mix starts with the heavy analog ring modulation of a sawtooth wave, followed by the start of the song in earnest, where a clean 4/4 cadence and siren-like pads from the original are eventually overtaken by cascading analog keys. What before was a sub rumble now becomes an undulating Moog Voyager chest thump. The sirens of the original serve as ambient backdrop with new synths transforming the emotion hinted at originally into full-on melancholic bliss, complete with violin swells, bouncing electric piano, hand percussion and gigantic tom-toms. For those who like a little music with their music, Nathan’s mix is a perfect compliment to Tuomas' dark originals.

Debuting on London-based label Ruff Dog Recordings in 2006, brothers Patrick and Steve Hoody have since brought their brand of glitch and fidget house to labels across Europe, Canada and now, into The States. Driven by underground dance culture of early ’90s, Steve hooked into music with his first set of turntables in 1994; Patrick bought a rhythm box and an analogue synthesizer and explored. By mid-decade, the two had formed a creative partnership that pitted both brothers behind the synthesizer. Their first project, Mantra and Galax-Sea, was a live, synth-driven show that showcased their abilities to musically improvise alongside renowned Belgium musicians. Electronic and heady in nature, the sonic structure of their sets still put house at the forefront, taking influences from artists such as DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter and Paul Johnson. By 2001, the duo’s signed on to London’s Blue Black Records, which were home to breaks artists including Meat Katie and Elite Force. Patrick and Steve absorbed the outside influences into their own sound, recording under the names Hoody & Hoody and Ultravision before settling into Electric Soulside in early 2006. Having produced under various music influences, the two brothers knew their eclectic style of electronica was a rare breed in their native Belgium. London’s Ruff Dog Recordings gave the duo the nod shortly after, signing the track “Shining,†an electro-breakbeat cut found in the crates of The Crystal Method and Aquasky alike. Since 2006, Electric Soulside has appeared on numerous European labels, including European Breakbots (Paris), Flatout (Stockholm) and V.I.M (Greece). Their early 2008 release on Ruff Dog, “Second Life,†became a No. 1 electro-breaks release on Chemical Records (vinyl) and No. 2 on Djdownload.com breaks Top 100 (mp3) in the UK. Electric Soulside melds breaks, glitch, electro and house into their production, creating sounds that twist and turn whether they are loosely adhering to the structured sounds of house or keeping their own beat to UK breakbeat.

POTTY MOUTH MUSIC (Chicago): www.pottymouthmusic.com Screw soap the mouth; the brand of jack that defines Chicago's new-school house sound gets a tech-heavy makeover from the talent roster of Potty Mouth Music.

The Midlands, UK producer/DJ has already remixed for dozens tracks of dance music artists, but this time Kelevra is stepping out in a big, bouncy way with this latest “Clean Jeans EP†on Potty Mouth. Rising through the vinyl ranks of the dance scene of the late ’90s, Kelevra played clubs on both sides of the Atlantic for more than a decade. Keeping a fun but dirty vibe to his sets, the artist channeled his creativity on the decks into a slew of remix projects for esteemed artists including DJ Dan, Jamie Fanatic, Klaus Hill, Micky Slim and Aquasky, to name a few. Original releases on Wearhouse Music have garnered remix attention from Lee Mortimer, including a rerub of “Grab Ya Funkstick†on the “Bad Dog EP.†2008 saw Kelevra slide into the Aussie Top 50 dance charts just under Calvin Harris with his remix of Audio Slingers’ “Radio Noise†on Kingdome Kome. He looks to continue the creative momentum in 2009 on the push of a collaborative label with D.O.N.S. Ollie Geodicke called Fidget Kingdom. “Jak Muzik†featuring Whiskey Pete marks Kelevra’s first release on Fidget Kingdom with remixes from Micky Slim, Klaus Hill Jaimie Fanatic & Aniki, alongside a new EP with Jamie Fanatic on the emerging WeAreAllKidz Label. “I am also working with Mc Flipside & Sharooz who are currently flying high on the back of “Hi Friend†with Deadmau5 & Get Off on Plasmapool for my next single on PBR recordings,†Kelevra says. When Kelevra is not instigating mischief behind the decks, he is working hard on his own UK-based imprint KrunK, showcasing fresh hip house, fidget and electro tracks by himself and artists across the dance music community. Between crafting and managing, Kelevra’s own work has also garnered support from the likes of Crookers, Kissy, Judge Jules, Tongy and Armand Van Helden. “I like to think I just bring full on party tunes that I’d like to hear if I was out clubbing—stuff that makes ya want to dance!†he says. “Clean Jeans EP†includes collaborations with Whisky Pete and Nathan Boon, along with remixes by Kyle Watson and BamBam.

POTTY MOUTH MUSIC (Chicago): www.pottymouthmusic.com Screw soap the mouth; the brand of jack that defines Chicago's new-school house sound gets a tech-heavy makeover from the talent roster of Potty Mouth Music. Inspired by the dirty glitch twists of fidget house producers such as Switch, Trevor Loveys and Jesse Rose, Potty Mouth ditches conventional house boundaries, imploring turntable trickery, unconventional loops and straight up techno into its catalogue of tracks. Chicago-based label head James Amato keeps house-heavy influences in place and lacing them with the kind of dirty glitch that makes it feel so good to be so bad. Potty Mouth's artists include Crookers (Italy), Santiago & Bushido (Chicago), HiJack (UK), Dj Fame (New York), The Bulgarian (UK), Heavyfeet (UK), Cops & Robbers (Chicago), Electric Soulside (Belgium), Andy George (UK), Scott Cooper (UK), Klaus Hill (Australia), Mightyfools (Netherlands), Adam Bozzetto (Australia), TJR (New York), Chris James & Lee Dearn (UK), Urchins (UK), Pette Vaydex (Slovenia), Rockwell D (UK) and Kyle Watson (South Africa).
