Rob Clouth Joins LittleBig; Listen To His Electronic Explorations Mix
We’re happy to announce that stunning live act and sound designer extraordinaire Rob Clouth has joined LittleBig.
With previous releases on Traum Schallplatten and Detroit Underground as well as the recent Clockwork Atom EP on Leisure System, Rob connects the dots between glitchy IDM and artful techno, somewhere between the beautiful melodies of Jon Hopkins and the high-intensity beats of Autechre. In addition to productions under his own name, Rob previously worked under the name Vaetxh and has created multiple pieces of experimental hardware and software, as well as designing all of his own visuals.
Rob is currently working on another release for Leisure System to be released later this year. He will play live on the Leisure System stage at this year’s Dimensions Festival alongside Special Request, DJ Stingray, and Funkinevin.

Hubie Davison debut EP on Leisure System, out 4th Nov.
Hubie Davison makes his artist debut on Leisure System with the I Won’t Be There EP, an expansive collection of lush, interplanetary house that is at once vaguely exotic and completely entrancing.
Hailing from Ireland and previously studying music composition in London, Davison synthesizes the emotive melodicism of artists like John Talabot and Caribou with the bare grooviness of Nicolas Jaar, incorporating phantasmagorical vocal samples into a refined instrumental palette. I Won’t Be There is an ethereal listening experience, with tracks developing from calm restraint to exhilarating peaks. Whether it’s the gentle rainstorm that introduces “Mannequin Move,” the gauzy hollers of “Yeh Sai,” or the pulsing piano chords and swollen bass of standout opener “I Won’t Be There,” Davison has a fully-formed feel for mellow grooves, while the thumping, floor-ready Dayvision Rework of “I Won’t Be There” should be getting played out at Panorama Bar for months to come.
Whether soundtracking end-of-summer romance or warming a winter chill, moving dance floors or soothing after-hour comedowns, I Won’t Be There is a thrilling debut from an exciting young artist we’re proud to have join the Leisure System family.

It’s been four years since Tim Exile’s last release, but the analog warrior never stopped his ferociously futuristic experimentation, whether collaborating with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, improvising presentations at TED Global 2013, or performing as Mostly Robot with Jamie Lidell. Tim has become more relaxed about music these days following releases on Warp and Planet Mu, diving deep into refined techno without sacrificing fun. Exile’s new EP on Leisure System gathers three stunning improvised instrumental club bangers from the churning assembly line of his mind, prickly synth adventures with all the glorious bombast expected from dueling intergalactic battleships. The Harmuni EP represents a new chapter for Tim Exile as he returns to his club roots. Nobody is safe. Grab your subwoofer and pray.

Leisure System: Jets [Machinedrum x Jimmy Edgar] at XOYO
Leisure System returns to London with JETS and more
After two successful events, Leisure System finally returns to London for a mind-blowing megablaster at XOYO. New talents and familiar faces will rock both dancefloors, and wait… did we mention the JETS debut UK live show?
On Friday the 8th of February, Leisure System and XOYO will present JETS. After 12 years of friendship and career parallels, Machinedrum and Jimmy Edgar’s pairing was inevitable. As they now both take up full-time residencies in Berlin their collaboration has reached a forceful head. Taking recognisable elements of electronic dance music and transforming them into something altogether new, the result is more than the sum of its parts reflecting the duo’s eccentric and distinctive personalities.
Alongside the majestic duo, Letherette, Akkord, Dawn Day Night, Visionist, Kommune1, Hubie Davidson, and Discipline of the Leisure System family will make the night an unforgettable one.

JETS (Jimmy Edgar + Machinedrum) EP on Leisure System. Listen
Leisure System; the collective, label and 4-year long famed Berghain party is back with a very special fourth addition to its catalogue: the inaugural release from JETS – a project which pairs two of dance music’s most eccentric and distinctive personalities, Jimmy Edgar and Travis Stewart (aka Machine Drum).
Having been friends for over 12 years, it was inevitable that a project like this would finally come into being. After living in New York, touring Japan together and now taking full time residency in Berlin, the first JETS EP marks the culmination of roughly four years of staggered yet perpetual collaboration between the duo. Taking recognisable elements of electronic dance music and subtly transforming them into something altogether new, the result is more than the sum of its parts.
The alignment of both celebrated producers’ music as one creates something altogether new and yet, at the same time, ultimately familiar. Weaving its way intricately into the multi-textured fabric of sounds is the undeniable presence of Edgar’s electro-funk soul whilst Machinedrum’s idiosyncratic syncopated rhythms and stuttered drum clacks jack and roughen the edges.
In a recent interview with FACT magazine, the pair admitted that on this EP, “there’s a sense of where we’ve been, what we’ve come to, and everything in between.” Be part of the journey.

http://berghain.de/event/452 Das Line-up der 16. Ausgabe von Leisure System braucht sich auch hinter manch ambitioniertem Festival nicht verstecken: Abenteuer, Gefahr und Schönheit – alles in einer Nacht. Die dreiköpfige britische Band Factory Floor zum Beispiel ist zur Zeit eines der spannendsten Acts auf DFA. Ihre Musik beschrieb der NME ganz treffend als »Post-Industrial, but it moves beyond that. This is post-apocalyptic, the soundtrack of an underworld-disco«. Wo, wenn nicht im Berghain, könnte ihr Sound besser aufgehoben sein?
Eine Weltpremiere ist der Live-Act von Kuedo, der dafür mit dem Visual-Künstlerkollektiv MFO kooperiert hat. Den Live-Spaß rundet der Monkeytown-Act Lazer Sword mit seiner Bass-lastigen Post-everything Dancefloor Musik ab, und auch die DJs haben ordentlich Pfeffer in der Hose: The Hacker mit seinem Neo-Rave Hooverbasssound und natürlich die Leisure System Residents. Zeitgleich in der Panorama Bar: Classic House, UK Bass, Romantic Techno – eine musikalische Reise mit den Koordinaten New York, London, Berlin. Krass.
