Aufgang will release their debut album via Agoria's Infiné imprint early next year.

Comprised of Juilliard-trained pianists Francesco Tristano and Rami Khalifé as well as drummer Aymeric Westrich, the trio explores the line between avant-garde modern classical and four-to-the-floor drumming. The conception of the group stems back to 2005, when both Jeff Mills and a booker for Sonar festival were present at one of Francesco's performances at an art gallery in Barcelona. After playing his normal set, Rami joined him to run through an adapted version of "The Bells," with Mills quickly putting a swift word in to get them booked immediately.

"It's neither acoustic techno nor electronically seasoned classical music, like Wendy Carlos," explains Tristano, who has previously collaborated with the likes of Carl Craig and Christian Prommer. The record spans from acid-influenced pieces ("Ausgang") through to the dissonant flurry of "Channel 8," and although it may work better as a home listen, there are also a few club-friendly tracks that could potentially do some damage on more open-minded dance floors.

Tracklist
01. Channel 7
02. Channel 8
03. Barock
04. Sonar
05. Prelude du Passe
06. Good Generation
07. 3 Vitesses
08. Aufgang
09. Soumission

Infiné will release Aufgang in early January 2010.(RA)

This Monday's exclusive mix comes from the man behind Simple and Aus Records, Will Saul.

For a while now, Simple has been one of the leading lights of the more melodic side of house music favoured by Dial, Kompakt when they fancy being good, et al, releasing music from the label's core artists (Saul, Sideshow) as well as the likes of Vector Lovers and Motorcitysoul.

In 2006, Saul also formed Aus Music with Sideshow/Fink, to focus on the more experimental side of dub and techno: the brilliant Lee Jones has been a regular contributor to the label, which this year has turned its attention to the more elegiac side of dubstep: commissioning releases from Martyn, Pearson Sound, and - coming next year - a new EP from man of the moment Joy Orbison.

Two Orbison tracks from said EP feature on Will's FACT mix along with unreleased material from Lee Jones and Ramadanman, and tracks from Shed, Mount Kimbie, Future Sound of London, Omar-S, Lusine, Burial and more. For more Will Saul in the mix, we'd recommend his three-disc contribution to EQ Recordings' Balance series, which is out now.

OK, so he isn't quite the messiah - though it's true that certain members of the FACT team believe he is - but his initials are JC. One way or the other other, it's fair to say that Jam City is a new producer we're incredibly pleased to have discovered.

Having downloaded and caned the mix he recorded recently for Lower End Spasm, we had to ask for him a FACT Mix, and sharpish. The young South Londoner has really excelled himself with a ravishing, uniquely psychedelic take on grime-inspired house and funky that confidently avoids any obvious or over-familiar tunes. Look out for three original, ultra-percussive Jam City productions - 'What I Think About You', 'Runnin Yr Mouth' and 'Underpass Limiter', plus four exclusive edits and the absolutely beast Reese-bass-fuelled 'Shining' by Gremino, and further contributions from the likes of Bookworms and DJ Gukwa.

We're not sure there's any producer or DJ in the UK right now who is so skilfully balancing dancefloor ruffage and emotional delicacy. Make no mistake, Jam City has a blindingly bright future ahead of him; download this mix and hear exactly why.

In the past nine years Montreal-hailing Mike Shannon has gone from being hotly-tipped to being world-renowned, rapidly establishing himself as one of the most reliable and dancefloor-curdling techno DJ/producers in the galaxy.

His career began at the front-end of this century with the release of 'Sunaj Assassins' on his own Cynosure imprint. Cynosure is a by-word for quality experimental techno, releasing records by Shannon himself as well as the likes of Deadbeat, Mark Henning and Brett Johnson. Shannon has gone on to record for a number of other celebrated labels including Wagon Repair and Dumb-Unit. In 2002 he released his debut album on the legendary Force Inc; it was followed in 2006 by Possible Conclusions To Stories That Never End for Scape, and most recently came the excellent Memory Tree, recorded for Hawtin's Plus8.

With a glitchy, swinging sound that proves there's still plenty of life in minimal techno if it's done right, Shannon is always an enthralling listening. His mix for FACT is essentially a "best of Cynosure", featuring seven Shannon productions alongside tracks from Monoblock, SLG, Sieg Uber Die Sonner and more. It's pretty fucking good.

Dubstep lovers rejoice: Hot on the heels of Soul Jazz's Steppas Delight 2 comes the seventh instalment of Tempa's long-running Dubstep Allstars series, a "double disc expedition which unearths newfound pleasures aplenty" thanks to Ramadanman and Chef, two of the scene's most esteemed luminaries.

Coming at a time when the genre paints an increasingly splintered picture, it's a combination of two divergent schools: disc one, mixed by sub-bass veteran Chef, goes heavy on the main room vibes with a spate of fresh tracks from half-step big guns Skream, Benga and Silkie alongside deeper cuts from Mala, Cyrus and Conquest, while Hessle Audio's Ramadanman plunges headlong into the world of techno-flavoured 2-step on disc two with crossover workouts from Martyn, Scuba and Peverelist, and more than a bit of Hessle activity courtesy of nu-school wonderkids Pangaea, Untold, Joe and Ramadanman himself. As with previous instalments, expect the bleeding edge of dubstep.

MODESELEKTOR - ART&CASH OFFICIAL VIDEO

Our latest FACT podcast comes from Philadelphia's king of Street Bass, Starkey.

More influenced by grime than its more popular cousin, dubstep, Starkey's made a name for himself with some of this decade's most dynamic, overblown dance music: bass-heavy club tracks that are rhythmically all over the place, constantly changing direction, with dramatic key changes and leadlines that sear higher than the stars before imploding like dying stars.

Starkey has one of the biggest sounds around - and not in a cheap, tearout dubstep sense - his tracks carry tons of physical and emotional weight; tracks like 'Miracles' and 'Crippling' some of the most beautiful tracks produced by this anything goes, post-garage music. For a full interview with him, check the second page of this article.
