20 artists who will make your year in 2017
Here's who will guide you through the next 12 months
14 TRP
"100% SLAMMERS" reads the tag on TRP's Lobster Theremin podcast. It doesn't lie. What the German producer gives us is an hour of raw, pounding, stripped-to-the-bone house music. He didn't have to borrow anyone else's tunes to make it, though. They're all his and, at the time of going live, all unreleased. The Lobster Theremin relationship extends to his 'Pano' EP released in May, a four-track coming together of cracking 4/4, skippy acid and glitchy techno. It hits hard and the title track is an example of lo-fi done exceedingly crisply.
The 'Saturday Morning' EP for Shall Not Fade is full of more warming house cuts as well. If you like your pads tender, TRP's ready to give you the treatment. More doses are on the way via a white label for Lobster, a release on Lobster sub-label Mörk and a 12" on Lone's Magicwire. While you're waiting for those, we suggest listening to his back-to-back set with Hungarian producer Route 8 for Rinse FM France. It's a hazy, spaced out beauty. D Turner
