Renraku Enters The Dojo With 3 Exclusive Listens [TMN Premiere]

Usually when we have a premiere, it’s of a single track from a single artist or collaboration. That’s not the case today, as we’re sharing three tracks from Renraku‘s upcoming Gravity Well compilation. In this premiere, we’re giving you an early listen to singles from Kurve, NEWSENSEi and Prophet. Enjoy them all, as they don’t come out in full until the 25th, but we’ve got you covered!

Kurve’s “Stuck There” is a neuro-minimalists dream come true. It’s simple composition holds your attention with subtle nuances that peak out and jab your ear drum with pleasureful, dark tones. “Dirty Jobs” by NEWSENSEi is a slow-motion heater that shares the neuro edge of the previous single, but flips the tone entirely for an industrial specimen that you can enjoy over and over again. Lastly, Prophet’s “False Idol” comes through with a KOAN Sound-esque style, but takes a more downtempo, glitchy approach. All three together are delectable bass treats that we’re happy to share with you early! Make sure to grab the full Renraku compilation when it drops July 25th.

[Tech-House] Ross Kiser & Black/Tuesday – Ancona EP [TMN Premiere]

As we roll into Fourth of July weekend here stateside, it’s only fitting that we share some tasteful, party-appropriate, speaker jack with our readers. As is our civic duty, we’ve unearthed yet another superb set of tracks for your afterhours club focused listening to land upon. Denver based producers Ross Kiser, formerly of Need & Necessity acclaim, and rising duo/label/fashion collective Black/Tuesday have called upon their collaborative force on  the Ancona EP, which finds a home on the Lee K helmed Circulate Records.

Featuring a pair of tunes, “Ancona” and “Developing Story”, Ancona‘s aural combination of Kiser & Black Tuesday work symbiotically to pull their sounds into newer territory than we’ve seen on past releases. The EP’s title track rides on layered techno and acid house synths while wonderfully fragmented vocal samples and lurching bass swells flit around its edges to bring together a beautifully cohesive production. On its B-side, “Developing Story” finds its anchor in the form of a jackin’ set of shuffled hi-hats, encased around a thumping kick-clap, and a hypnotically simple synth progression. Kiser’s proper, soulful house roots and Black/Tuesday’s tastefully tinny, metallurgic minimalism coalesce effortlessly, and as we’ve heard rumblings of more collaborations between these three, you can expect the Ninja gang to be all over it. For our DJ contingency, you can cop both of these tunes on Beatport, but until then, stream the Ancona EP below.

Warden feat. Sisterwife – Carpe the DM’s [TMN Video Premiere]

Today we have something straight out of left field for you. “Carpe the DM’s” by Warden and Sisterwife is here in both audio and visual formats. Both have a wacky tone that just isn’t for everybody, but when you just let loose and enjoy them, they’re entertaining as can be.

The video parodies a few different things and is akin to the humor pushed by Tim & Eric. If you like the outrageous, then “Carpe the DM’s” is right up your alley like it is ours. The song is a masterful bass track that shares the videos quirkiness. Together they’re a project unparalleled by most and we have the honor of sharing them with you first in this premiere! If you like what you are hearing, go ahead and pre-order the single from iTunes.

Panic City & CLB – Get Higher [TMN Premiere]

Panic City & CLB
Get Higher

It’s time for us to “Get Higher” in the dojo. Today in this Music Ninja Premiere we’ve got the sauce for you. From the Bay to Chicago we have a collaboration between Panic City and CLB. If groovy house music is your thing, then “Get Higher” will be your thing.

Panic City and CLB won’t disappoint with this one. It does exactly as it says with its intoxicating grooves that will get your body moving. Good club music isn’t as sought after as it once was because of the hype centered around festivals, especially during this time of year, but that doesn’t phase “Get Higher” one bit. It’s a record that goes down smooth any where, but focuses in on the underground club sounds that brought dance music to the point it’s at today. Stream your exclusive first listen of “Get Higher” and enjoy!

AIRWAV – Vivid EP [TMN Premiere]

Enter the dojo for a first listen to AIRWAV‘s Vivid EP. The New York producer just dropped his five track project, which you get to glimpse first here with this premiere. Through and through, Vivid is a titanic expression that doesn’t limit itself to one genre.

AIRWAV’s project has a dynamic edge to it, but future bass takes center stage. Tracks like “The Void” and “Nomads” portray AIRWAV’s future sensibilities, while “Origami” and “Thinkin Bout U” show different side of the producer. All together these tracks take you through different sounds and styles, making it a memorable listening experience from start to finish. It’s an experience you don’t mind doing again and again. Vivid is currently available on digital stores and streaming services, including Spotify.

DENILE
This Will Never Be

Let’s kick off the week with a nice little premiere shall we? Actually, rather than small, let’s make it large. This is how it will be with DENILE, whose song “This Will Never Be” has come through steaming up the dojo. Get your oven mitts on, turn up the volume and get ready for your exclusive first listen.

If you like feeling like a master thug, then you’re going to love this track. One of the Beastie Boys’ favorite terms, ill, comes straight to mind when this bassy beast is booming through the speakers. Without thought or hesitation, your trap arms will engage themselves and you’ll start moving. DENILE is a newer face, but one you will soon be recognizing. “This Will Never Be” is out today, so if you like what you hear you can grab a digital download.
