The ever cultured house and techno outpost that is the Cinematic Label here serves up another tasty EP, this time from Belgium house and techno stalwart Klaina. Through a number of EPs and a full length, as well as his own radio show and parties in and around Belgium, Klaina has earned himself a reputation as someone who crafts sci-fi influenced, heavy linear sounds, and his ‘Semiplan’ track, along with remixes from The Rhythm Odyssey, JuJu & jordash, Amir Alexander, is no different.

The six-minute work is thick with otherworldly atmosphere as the sounds of hovering space ships encircle a stiff snare pattern and scattered kicks and toms. It’s evocative and loopy techno that hypnotises you through repetition and stands out for its crystal clear production and ravey little chord stabs.

Opening the great selection of remixes is Golf Channel Recordings’ The Rhythm Odyssey. He strips the track back to something more in line with deep house, though allows the spiralling sci-fi sounds to remain. A more rasping and rubber bassline is injected into the mix to add a little more dynamism, and the whole thing sounds like something Vakula might well have made.

Next up, Dekmankle’s JuJu & Jordash go even deeper with their remix, layering in plenty of analogue basslines that weave and wave up and down to bring a sense of liquidness to the whole outer-space arrangement. Pianos lurk in the background and keep you on edge, pulling you deeper and deeper into the fold with each little ripple.

Finally, Chicago’s Amir Alexander – a deep house producer with a keen ear for great synths on labels like Plan Be and Argot – does his thing to close out the EP: he strips it back to a mysterious 4/4 beat and injects rasping analogue notes, watery synths and itchy little hi-hats to keep things move forward. It sounds like a distant metropolis looks, frankly, as is as stimulating for the mind as it is the heel. Cinematic by name, Cinematic by nature – this is another special release from one of UK’s finest modern imprints.

Our next episode comes via our first live recording from Japan, this time with Fumihiro and Tadac.
Fumihiro Hoshi & Tadac are a new production duo based in Tokyo. They met at Denki Rock Festival on a tropical island south of Japan, soon hitting it off and realising they shared a common musical interest. As such, the more established of the two, Fumihiro Hoshi (who had already released on labels like Plus Records, NB Records and Totem Traxx) invited Tadac to join his Digital Sound Unit, Mhonoral. Accepting at once, the pair has now gone on to perform live sets at a number of top clubs including Womb, Air, Eleven and a number of beach raves.

Inspired by the likes of Joris Voorn, Pig & Dan and Josh Wink, the duo have now gotten together in the studio to work on their own brand of serene house and techno. Classically clean lines, plenty of mysterious mood and excellent production characterise the pair’s full formed sound, and the latest results will soon be released on the ever classy Cinematic label in late 2012, surely turning some much deserved attention onto this fast rising duo.
