KOM 389EP
|
Fresh off the release of his Cosmo EP earlier in 2018 (KOM 378EP), Terranova reignites the fire with Singularity, the second EP from the forthcoming Terranova album. The ethereally hypnotic vibe of "Let It Fail", featuring Sifa & Ivory, with its brittle percussions and slow-scudding pad tapestries, as well as the left-of-center, hovering electro of "Powergrid" draw a zero-G atmospheric vein. "Sophia" is tailored for dawn-time party communion and intense stargazing momentums.

Terranova, aka Fetisch, kicks off 2018 with Cosmo EP, four top-notch tracks inspired by raw Chicago house, early NYC electro, and artificial intelligence. "Cosmochord", featuring Italian DJ legend Flashmob, is a peak time monochord banger. "Langsam" is an elegant, driving example of classic dancefloor electronica. A skilled combination of an 808 with an obscure vintage beatbox of eastern origin, an Oberheim OB8, and a 1970 Kunstkopf Mic Instructions. "Cosmocode", featuring Voltague, is intense psychedelic techno with a peak time quality. "Perfect Happiness" is a twisted Afro stomper led by a drunk sounding computer bouncing on the mic.

Terranova's second remix EP for their 2015 Restless album (KOMP 123CD/KOM 327LP) opens with a reimagining of "Skin & Bones" (featuring captivating vocals from Lydmor & Bon Homme) by Karl Friedrich, an up-and-coming producer from Halle, Germany. Terranova's Fetisch follows up with his own version of "Kepler186f," an energetic groover feeding off its thriving percussion and powerful bass injections. Stereo MC's revamp "Twisted Souls" featuring Cath Coffey, and turn the source material into a thrilling club drama in its own right, using only a Roland 808, a Bell Delay (one of the earliest samplers), and a Juno.

Famed house project Terranova follow their acclaimed 2015 Restless album (KOMP 123CD/KOM 327LP) with the first in a series of album remix EPs. "Tell Me Why," a collaboration with Stereo MC's (with whom Terranova are recording an album at the time of this release), is remixed by Miami's Danny Daze, with an epic, iridescent break and propelling drums. Berlin-based producer Re.You follows his 2015 Speicher 86 12" (KOM EX086EP) with a hypnotic, weapons-grade remix of "Tell Me Why." The B-side features Adam Port's extended house remix of "Underverse" (feat. Mandel Turner) and a vinyl-exclusive a cappella version of the track highlighting Turner's powerful vocals.

Returning to the full-length format after their acclaimed 2012 album Hotel Amour (KOMP 095CD/KOM 248LP), open band project Terranova (aka DJ/producer duo Fetisch and &ME) presents Restless, a finely tuned succession of excitingly straightforward house bangers, a brilliant study in gravitational pull, and a smooth blend of instrumental and vocal tracks created with the help of old and new friends. Guests on Restless include Cath Coffey, Lydmor, Bon Homme, Stereo MCs, and Mandel Turner. Restless was recorded from November 2014 through January 2015 in Berlin bedrooms and mixed in Keinemusik's Wedding studio. Opener "Tell Me Why" wastes no time with elaborate countdowns or some ambient pad dragging-on; starting out with the characteristic vocals from Stereo MCs frontman Rob Birch, the track immediately cuts to the chase with its pronounced rhythm section and a simple but sturdy bass. NY house agent provocateur Mandel Turner makes an appearance on proto-futuristic strobe manifesto "Underverse," while singer Cath Coffey performs on uncanny valley national anthem "Twisted Souls," again deploying her unique brand of anarchist logotherapy after her appearance on Terranova's 2014 Headache EP (KOM 296EP). Bon Homme aka Tomas Høffding takes a stand on "Restless Summer," a top-notch reimagining of "Endless Summer" from the 2013 Painkiller EP (KOM 262EP) -- less campfire and more wormhole, his lyrics take on an urgency unheard in the parent track. He also appears on "Skin & Bones" in a flawless duet with partner in crime Lydmor. From the sequenced beauty of "Goldilocks" to the intuitive mayhem of "Watch Me," the album is a quest for the outer rim of club culture, looking for habitable exoplanets beyond the main floor. This is most clear on the appropriately named "Kepler 186f," both a tribute to NASA's iconic Kepler project and a thrilling amalgamation of pounding drums and sharp synth stabs. The CD version of this larger-than-terrestrial-life journey finds a suitable conclusion in "Uchū No Inu," translatable as "dog in space": it's Terranova's executive producer, driving force, and guest vocalist Rocco (the choc labrador) who takes center stage here, lending his lyrical musings to a highly energizing cut and wrapping up the riveting listening experience that is Restless. An ideal sonic companion for dancefloors, living rooms, and space pods alike. CD features two exclusive tracks: "Labrador" and "Uchū No Inu (feat. Roco)."

Among the things that go boom in the night, Terranova's slick but rugged house jams certainly occupy a territory of their own -- these cuts are precision engineered to rouse any crowd, while providing enough depth to keep the auditory cerebral cortex spinning. Two vivacious bouncers rich in pulling power, but with an undeniable classiness to boot. "Labrador" features finely sculpted momentum, a thrusting patchwork of rubber-like sound effects, determined bass licks, and flicking percussion. The flipside's banging "Twisted" quickly turns out to be as buoyant as its confrère, donned with a perky temper that can't stop pawing the ground.

Terranova returns to the fore with the Headache EP, another impressive assortment of floor-ready house weaponry. The new material shoves the pendulum back into more rugged club territory, showcasing the sort of sonic urgency and rawness the legendary project has become known for in the first place. "Headache," (featuring Stereo MCs vocalist and Tricky collaborator Cath Coffey) a cover of a song from The Au Pairs, as well as its instrumental sequel "Headlock" are both fuelled by propulsive beats and upscale hooks. "Tourette" is a full-blown thrill ride, brimming with jittery sampling, arresting percussion and some pretty rad bass line abrasiveness.

Terranova presents the Painkiller EP, a densely-textured collection of highly addictive floor tunes and the latest chapter in their ongoing house saga. Firmly rooted in the escapist tradition of house narrators, this EP strings together the distinctive timbres of both trained and untrained voices, putting side-by-side the smooth indie expertise of Whomadewho's Tomas Høffding aka Bonhomme and the expressive wisdom of French DJ Jennifer Cardini. These tracks marry raw emotion and a sense of doom with a strong urge to work that body.

Gatefold double LP version with a free CD version. Terranova member Fetisch Bergmann witnessed the beginnings of club culture, and he was there when house and techno started to blossom. As an early adopter, he simply doesn't see the benefit of rehashing what has gone before, but wants to move forward, seizing the future he was promised in the days of yore by the likes of Larry Levan, Grandmaster Flash, Ron Hardy or Lee Perry. Whether teen punk, hip-hop's first European trainee or house DJ in the most legendary booths of the late '80s, Fetisch inhaled the glamour of the night and learned the tricks of the trade from those who knew it best. Originally conceived in 1996, Terranova became Fetisch's go-to project to explore new club territory and collaborate with like-minded people, building his own cult following ever since. Kompakt truly feels honored to be the home to an artist drawing on such a rich background in club culture, especially with new album Hotel Amour being poised for actual world dominance. But whoever wants to conquer the world has to get there first. With much of the album's ideas conceived on a night train between Berlin and Paris (Fetisch's second home), these tracks certainly share their creators' wanderlust, never settling in one place, but staying eager with new rhythmic landscapes (and hotel rooms). Together with Berlin's house staple and Terranova fellow &Me (a member of the act since 2007), they pour new wine in the old bottles of dance's dramaturgy, respecting the formula, but not necessarily sticking to it. Heavy, bouncing bass drums fuse with juicy synths, high-precision sequencing rules the frequency range, and an armada of guest vocalists bring their own brand of seduction to the fore: Whomadewho's Thomas Høffding, husky-voiced Billie Ray Martin, eternal globetrotter Snax, German underground celebrity Udo Kier, acclaimed actress Nicolette Krebitz as well as the one and only Khan, all lend their voices to the album.

Terranova's latest incarnation includes Berlin's house staple &ME. For this single, the duo called in Khan for some underground awesomeness. So Strong commands its army of listeners to the floor. Both the title-track and "Boogie For The Dollar" make for a double headliner that takes you on a beguiling trip to the dark side of the club. No only do Terranova's sequencing and beat programming deliver, the package also sports some of the best vocals Khan has churned out to date.

Heralding the forthcoming Terranova album Hotel Amour and with veteran producer extraordinaire &ME a permanent member, this double-headed single has "classic" written all over it. "I Wanna Go Out" is an acid house anthem of the highest caliber and "Take My Hand" features Khan on vocals and takes you down a darker road. Sounds like Einstürzende Neubauten in bed with Matthew Herbert's Radio Boy/Wishmountain projects.
