HUNTLEYS 040LP
|
Kicking off 2020 in style with an album by the mighty William Burnett, aka Willie Burns / Speculator and Black Deer. Huntleys + Palmers were first introduced to Burnett's music through the wonderful "Grackle" remix by T.Keeler & Capablanca. Over time the label followed his many aliases with much enjoyment and can still recall hearing the first Black Deer music being played one afternoon in Phonica and needing to know everything about it. The label also has fond boat party memories in Stockholm soundtracked by the UTTU release. Not to mention WT Records putting out some brilliant records by now familiar faces. Recently, William has started a new long form interview podcast, Talk Video on The Lot Radio and a Marc Maron comparison isn't far off the mark. He's also been making music for himself and H+P are chuffed to be releasing some of that with you now. Artwork by Belgrade's finest, floating.bstrd.

Ever since hearing Pete Tong announce "Chica Wappa" as his Essential New Tune back in 2004, Huntleys + Palmers have been following the bold Alex Smoke (aka Wraetlic) on his musical journey. Coming from Glasgow, the label and the artist have shared a lot of common influences, both from within and of the city. The label has Alex to thank for introducing and strengthening their love for the likes of Villalobos, Rhythm & Sound, Carl Craig, and Actress, amongst others. Although he was a familiar face on the "minimal" scene, he always operated on his own terms and that's a through-line that's been much admired throughout his career. Not only is he comfortable releasing techno on Soma and R&S, he's produced for ballet, films and even the NHS. Over the years, Alex has played at a few seminal parties alongside the likes of Oni Ayhun, James Holden, Helena Hauff, and Veronica Vasicka. It was thus a delight to be approached by him to work on Ad Absurdum together and it's been really exciting to hear it evolve over time. It would be arrogant to compare it to Thom Yorke's The Eraser (2006), but it certainly occupies a similar world. To still be producing innovative and inspiring albums 15 years into a career is no mean feat in this age and it's a great honor to welcome such a musical hero on to the label. As with the last Auntie Flo album, there will also be a special remix package with a swarm of favored producers of the moment. 180 gram vinyl.

HUNTLEYS 030LP

At long last! Huntleys + Palmers present a hypnotic time-capsule courtesy of Dissmentado, aka Ismael Pinkler from Carisma and Kompakt collaborator, Máximo Graesse Bondino. Recorded during summer trips in Buenos Aires and spending autumn in Tromso, Norway between 2006-2010, Maximo and Ismael met several times during that period and used friends' houses and studios to produce a long list of material, selecting later the best of it for this compilation. The tracks are long and slow, with deep and moving beats and long background sounds dedicated to warm up dreamers and after hour survivors. The elements develop their movements in a relaxed way through the tracks creating a loose feel. Every beat was played with their hands and there is no arpeggiated melodies to remind you where the ground is. Artwork by Glasgow-based artist Rosie McGurn. 180 gram vinyl.

Huntleys + Palmers turn to Chapter 3 introducing a brace of remixes by the one and only Lena Willikens. In the right hands, a great remix can be equally as powerful as an original and Lena has succeeded in bringing her own weird and wonderful sounds to a track from each preceding chapter - rRoxymore from Chapter 1 (HUNTLEYS 010EP, 2014) and Oslo Gabon from Chapter 2 (HUNTLEYS 015EP, 2014) - whilst still keeping true to the original work. Anna Kraay delivers on the artwork front.

180-gram vinyl. After hearing the strange synth-folk music of Peter Scion on a cold wave mix by French DJ Clement Meyer for its site, the Huntleys + Palmers label carried out a bit of detective work and finally tracked down the creator to Borås in rural Sweden in 2015. To cut a long story short, having turned up at his door almost 15 years after this music was made, the label now presents Peter Scion's first proper release outside of a few CD-Rs distributed in his homeland, bringing his music to a wider audience. Includes an exclusive insert designed by Anna Kraay, which details the full story of how the label discovered Peter Scion.

Auntie Flo returns with his Theory of Flo masterpiece, his first release on Huntleys + Palmers since 2012. Following his critically acclaimed 2012 Future Rhythm Machine album, Theory of Flo is a bold step ahead, taking the listener on the trip of a lifetime spanning continents, genres, languages, and cultures to create a wholly unique listening experience and one that's only possible in 2015. Auntie Flo created the album with long-term collaborator Esa Williams; Theory of Flo also features collaborations with the incredible Ghanaian singer Anbuley (who appeared on Auntie Flo's 2014 Autonomous Africa hit "Daabi"), Shingai Shoniwa (Noisettes, The Matthew Herbert Big Band, Dennis Ferrer). It was recorded over a lengthy period between Havana, London, and Glasgow, with outstanding results. Scratch the surface and it becomes clear that by interweaving the rhythms and traditions of Africa and Latin America with more familiar western club sounds and four-to-the-floor electronic house music, Auntie Flo's interplanetary projects can break down barriers for fans on both sides of the electronic/world music divide. Fans of Daphni, Débruit, or Spoek Mathambo are all too aware of the tendency for media and critics to sub-categorize and pigeon-hole. Auntie Flo is building his own artistic response, one that re-energizes house music and looks outward but is very much indebted to the vibrancy of the Glasgow club scene. With regular appearances on the foremost underground dance music filter Boiler Room and a monthly show on Rinse FM, Auntie Flo has earned the respect to take the marimbas of West Africa and the palenque of Colombia to the unsuspecting. Two 180-gram LPs in double-gatefold sleeve with download code.

Petwo Evans return with another stonking release! This time around, they've gone pretty melodic on us. Something for everyone here, with a belting peak-time title-track first heard on a 2015 Auntie Flo Boiler Room alongside some really beautiful moments; some of these may be familiar from Huntleys + Palmers' Truants and Electronic Exploration mixes.

Wrong Steps is back! Following his outstanding 2014 self-titled debut (HUNTLEYS 013EP), the talented Berlin-based artist delivers a lovely selection of melodic musical melters. It's a bit daft describing something as "musical," but in this instance the term can't be denied.

Huntleys + Palmers presents five tracks from artists outside the label's own circle who have caught its attention. Themes for Great Cities associate Jan Shulte, under his Wolf Müller alias, delivers probably the label's funkiest track yet, "Rudeltanz." Gothenburg-based Oklo Gabon, sometimes associated with Discos Capablanca, drops "City Gym," and Cómeme artist Sano includes his demented delight "Duraco." Glaswegians Golden Teacher, from Optimo Music, deliver "What Time Is It?" and Usio, whose debut full-length appeared on Studio Barnhus in 2013 (BARN 012LP), close the EP with "Galaxy."

Huntleys + Palmers first came across Mehmet at the Family Affairs party that he runs with Miajica in Basel. Since then, he has released a brace of tracks via Highlife, to mounting general interest. Among the interested is Ata (of Live at Robert Johnson fame), who is bringing back his For Disco Only label after eight years of dormancy to release new material by Mehmet. With the Mechanical Turk EP, his first full release, Mehmet delivers a trio of tried and tested Turkish triumphs.

Like all great music, it's often difficult to explain what it sounds like or convey the excitement you experience upon first hearing. Wrong Steps falls into this category, exactly. Describing his music as "melodic house" wouldn't do the intricacies and depths on display justice. Instead, it might be easier to liken him to artists such as Floating Points, Metro Area and Portable. Big boots to fill, of course, but this is a very promising debut.

Huntleys + Palmers present a unique piece of work by another new project, this time by some industry veterans. Petwo Evans features live drumming accompanying some dinky electronic magic. Each track differs in pace and style, sharing similar idiosyncratic qualities as Swim-era Caribou, Shackleton, and maybe a hint of Border Community in there too. Great, in other words.

Here is her debut release, chock-full of amazing '80s Chicago house via Santiago, Chile. Ana Helder delivers a blinding remix, at once retaining the best qualities of the OG, while making it her own.

HUNTLEYS 010EP

Huntleys + Palmers presents a 4-track EP of absolute belters. The release features a crazy, banging track by Carisma, a deep recording by Prophets Of The South, and two bonafide nailers from Cruffy and rRoxymore. Cruffy's "Subculture" is a difficult one to categorize -- it's an interesting concoction of melodic house, giving way to an almost Kwaito-esque kick. The pummeling "Pamela Two" by Carisma is primed to absolutely terrorize dancefloors. "Ministry of Silly Talks" has featured prominently in rRoxymore's live sets, and Prophets Of The South's "District 6" has a deep Afro house vibe like no other.

Continuing the trend of spotting new talent, promoters Huntleys + Palmers is back in business with a big release from the talented Londoner, DrumTalk. Like his label counterparts, Auntie Flo, Sophie and Alejandro Paz, "Time" is a track set to be popular across the board. The focus group who road-tested it this winter came back with positive results: James Holden played it TWICE in his recent Panorama Bar set and Jackmaster featured it on both his Boiler Room and Mastermix. Not a bad start. From East London/Berlin basements to the shores of Croatia and Ibiza, expect to hear this everywhere.

Glasgow-raised and London-based party outfit Huntleys + Palmers return with a slew of new bangers. First up, Argentinian duo DJs Pareja, who are best-known for their work on the Comeme label, deliver a pair of dancefloor destroyers. If lead track "Steps" doesn't get you dancing, nothing will, with one step in South African kwaito, the other in UK funky. On the flip, "La Risa" takes a different form in the shape of an odd-ball house belter.
