aardvarck returns with his third full length album for eat concrete records. >anti concept< showcases a taste for deep ambient and minimalstic soundscapes, dub, detroit techno and bass heavy beats, mixed into a perfect flow. as the title suggests >anti concept< leaves aside musical genres and focuses on atmosphere rather than style. aardvarck carefully and patiently builds his own world of sound, adding layers and complexity with each track. these tracks bring mostly new material but also contain some of his earlier works on previous eat concrete and bloom releases, highlighting some personal favourites of his impressive output. enjoy!

its impossible to describe without metaphors what happens when listening to the debut album >behaving like a widower< by yoko duo. holger zilske and august landelius draw bright paintings withcool colors, framed by a mosaic ofdelicate glitches. this music comeswithout any irony or cynicism. thisalbum guarantees a prominentplace in the gallery of soulful legacyof the electronica genre for the yoko duo. vinyl tastes better.

for alec koone, the 20 year old, pennsylvania resident, who was 19 and based in new york at the time of his first release, >wander / wonder< is a coming of age album that sees him expand upon the unique sound that attracted him so much attention to begin with. in koone s own words: it s an open ended album, and i think individuals should make their own meaning of it so that it is something actually real to them. it s not classical music, but in the tradition of a classical work like a bach cello suite, i see it as more of a whole musical piece with themes/motifs/ideas reoccurring throughout, connecting the tracks together as opposed to simply being a collection of songs that sit next to each other in isolation. it s also an album that should be listened to loudly. wander / wonder is a mysterious and genuinely haunting record that seems to exist in a world all of it s own making, balanced between the ecstatic wonder referenced in the title and something altogether more indefinable and uncertain of itself, like shards of light flickering through a blanket of fog, and even though wander / wonder is undeniably an electronic album, it feels strangely organic, rooted in nature, synthetic textures and distorted voices harmonizing with an ever present oceanic shimmer. wander / wonder was written and produced by alec koone in new york and pennsylvania. mixed by alec koone and sam haar (member of blondes) in new york city.

first fruit from this experimental collaboration made during mark fells recent vist to vienna. a spontaneous, oddly rhythmic, slighlty twisted summer storm of a hit. available as 12 inch single only.

keep up! records unveils brand new signing bestboygrip complete with his debut ep fonck. those with their ears to the ground will be aware that the germany-based bestboy is well-known within the drum n bass world under a different moniker. but this is the bestboy cutting loose for a minute and kicking out some modern disco jams with one foot in the past and the other in the future. this is the sound of an 80s boogie, synthesizer, library music and b-movie obsessive. fonck is the slow-paced opener with heavy-hitting synth drums but reflective keyboard narrative. one of keep up! recordsfavourite producers architeq provides a dubby, spacey remix sounding like something luke vibert might have included on his nuggets library compilations. on the flipside the pace quickens with the flexible bassline but tight groove of copyright. the ep closes with the house-tinged cross my mind, which builds on the strong melody-lead theme of the other tracks even further with the aid of catchy synth lead and vocal hooks. the fonck ep sits comfortably next to artists such as faze action, lcd soundsystem and ilija rudman. just the way keep up! likes its modern disco. bestboygrip is aiming to expand his sound even further, this time onto the stage with a full live band. keep an eye out for roland and his crack team of musicians visiting your town.

after two re-releases of conrad schnitzler classics, (zug & ballet statique) now m=minimal releases a completely new work from the pioneer of electronic music. conrad schnitzler is a sound explorer. for many years, he has been on expeditions, journeys through his collection of electronic synthesizers almost every day. sounds he liked has been conserved on tape and stored in his sound library. the result is a huge library of audio files, he calls them >solen<. >borngräber & struever< have got the chance to examine that library and started to con-struct new pieces out of the hidden gems. these are not remixes but new compositions. none of the sound combinations were thought or heard before. the 8 tracks form an album independent of any trend and therefore it becomes a real acoustic environment for everyone. the album was produced at studio.wannsee. to give the album more authenticity, the complete audio processing was done using analog equipment. they not only used many classics among the finest synthesizers and outboard equipment, but also custom built tube gear. the icing on the cake are the tubes used from the 60s, which bought christian borngräber on a trip through the atacama desert in a small radio repair business in the city of calama. thanks to the desert climate even the packaging of the tubes looked as new

0-visionen are kristofer ulfves and olof liliengren, two friends with a shared love of the organic sounds and the art of using analogue gear live. warm melodic electronica is blended with the harsher digital sound of murky techno into a something truely unique. 0-visionen have performed live numerous times at swedish electronica festivals and clubs ever since 2007 and now their new ep >noll< is here to set new standards. noll contains tracks that vary from analogue sequences to shuffled idm style beats with that special 0-visionen spice.

all tracks written by mika vainio, except open up and bleed by iggy pop / james williamson. whereas previous works by mika vainio have utilized guitar life (… it eats you up) is the first to use the instrument as its primary sound source. a fascinating, sometimes disturbing and deeply personal work this new 10 track set bears all the hallmarks (exacting attention to detail of tone, rhythm and texture) of vainios previous works with some stunning surprises, such as his cover version of the stooges open up and bleed. tracks such as mining hark bark to the banging beat excesses of pan sonic, with crashed and and give us our daily humiliation and the opening in silence a scream takes a heart reveal a new intensity to vainios work and is yet another superb addition to his already brilliant catalogue

part one of two, featuring remixes by plaid for various artists.

miles whittaker has been an integral part of the modern love label since its inception in 2002 - as one half of both pendle coven and demdike stare, as well as his own productions under the mlz and millie monikers. after almost 15 years writing music, this is the first release miles is putting out under his own name and marks a turning point of sorts in his production style, or rather, in its sequencing. the facets ep brings together different ends of his production style, unifying elements of the house and techno he s most commonly released as mlz together with the more broken production signatures usually reserved for millie and the darkened tribalism of demdike stare. flawed opens the set with a linn loop from the archives, stretched and slowed down with an intoxicated aesthetic that s somewhere between house and dub, before lustre re-configures source material originally keyed in by labelmate andy stott with a nice line in squashed percussion. primer on the flip extends from a demdike stare outtake and veers off into an analogue drum machine workout, before on the fly ends the set with a recording made straight to mixing desk from an array of mis-wired and malfunctioning drum boxes, contact microphones and samplers, over at his studio the mill earlier this year.

following the 7 inch release of panda bears final single in the series that lead up to the release of his new album tomboy, we present the actress remix the way it was intended – a 12 minute epic remix straight for the summer masses. b-side marked only with a unique etching of the original 7 inch artwork.

following the legendary first two, stoically super minimal records >sog 1< and >sog 2< that provide ecstasy disguised as boredom on kompakt extra/speicher in 2007, and the outstanding beautifully bizarre >sog - abweichung< on profan in 2010, we are now listening to >fremde hÄnde<. like its predecessors, this sog stands in the tradition of >the art of omission< with wolfgang voigt variegating his preference for the bluntly straightforward quaver bass in two different forms. the a-side contains a tonally noncommittal sequence ambling across the keyboard in quantised form, reminiscing of the arpeggiator (accompaniment function) function of early 70ies and 80ies synthesizers. on the b-side, daring and thoroughly unquantised quaver rhythms rock around a bass drum that, as the only straight element, tries to keep the whole thing together. the result sounds a little like a delirious can live.

>detroit underground put out wildly variant musical styles on their label, from minimal to house, techno and electro - they certainly cant be genre pigeon-holed! this release comes from swedish duo kritical audio and spans through the aforementioned genres and at moments even into dubstep, breaks and d&b territory. moody, mind-tripping journeys are intricately created on katacomb through eerie synths, deep glitchy 303 basslines and arresting electro rhythms. >bugsmasher< rides electro punches and pounding 303s while the title track finds itself with a low slung, dubstep feeling. >oceans 1300< meanwhile explores yet another route with emotive synths and tight percussion, while the spaced out atmospherics of >taipei< round off an excellent 12inch

as the producer responsible for some of lil b and soulja boys weirdest, most inventive beats, and following on from a critically acclaimed, self released mixtape of instrumentals collected from his work over the years with various forward thinking hip hop artists, tri angle is very excited to announce the release of >rainforest<, the debut ep by clams casino. the five songs that make up >rainforest< find clams casino (aka 23 year old new jersey native, michael volpe) refining his ethereal, otherworldly sound, whilst taking it to a heavier and more intense extreme. what has set clams casino apart from most other hip hop producers is his skill in making records that sound just as good, if not better, instrumentally as they do with vocals, and if anyone needed it, >rainforest< represents the confirmation of this. its a record drenched in mysterious atmospherics, like a foggy memory of a far off exotic place, the details buried beneath the mist of distortion, but present nonetheless. none of the songs on >rainforest< have ever been released before, and in contrast to most of his other productions these songs have always existed purely as instrumentals, free of any vocal presence. >rainforest< is an incredibly powerful release which signals the beginning of clams casino coming into his own and operating as an important artist in his own right

after the echocord jubilee compilation we are now back with a new artist on echocord. we welcome sasu ripatti aka vladislav delay from finland. sasu is known from many projects, like luomo and from the moritz von oswald trio. now that sasu have the quartet where he can fully search for the acoustic music and jazz-influences and beyond, the vladislav delay solo stuff will be again focused on electronic experiments. these 2 tracks give a light on where the project is heading. something old, something new. the remix is from no one else than ricardo villalobos and max loderbauer.

after three groundbreaking albums over the course of a decade, the internationally acclaimed electronica project shpongle has returned from what fans feared was the end of the project when nothing lasts…but nothing is lost, their third album, was released. not prepared to leave us hanging, electronic music pioneers simon posford and raja ram have continued to push the envelope and break boundaries to create yet another sonic masterpiece: the much-awaited fourth shpongle album, ineffable mysteries from shpongleland.

with u is the debut release by elusive producer holy other. following on from critically acclaimed records by balam acab, ooooo and how to dress well, with u is the fourth release on tri angle records. taking the alien kinetics of uk garage, the euphoric highs of vocal house and the slow, sensuality of r&b, holy other has created a sound that s as melancholy as it is beautiful, spectral and yet slightly at unease with itself. playing these five songs feels like a slow, solitary walk into the city night, lights flashing around you, muted where once they seemed to shine more brightly. with u was recorded in berlin, gothenburg and manchester, where holy other currently resides.

kreuzberg is the project of drummer and composer andreas peters and dj jens strüver (borngräber & strüver, j.r. plankton). in their childhood they played in the same football club somewhere in west germany and met again 20 years later in kreuzberg / berlin. they realized that in their lives music always has been playing an important role and as their interests in musical styles where highly compatible they created the project kreuzberg. the tracks are based on drumset, vibraphone (bowed), other acoustic material comes from turntables, the bass is the only synthetic element of the record. the music is influenced by dub, club music, minimal music and conny-plank-krautrock

in january 2011 mark was invited by erik wiegand (aka errorsmith) to make some presets for his new software synthesizer which he was building for native instruments. after developing about 40 sounds*, mark decided to rework his ul8 project by extending the pattern generating systems used in its construction, which he then connected to the sounds produced in erik s synthesizer. the result is this double 12 single, featuring 9 tracks and a remix from mark s friend and colleague mat steel.

the response to sven kacireks album the kenya sessions (pingipung 20) was overwhelming. the cooperation between the drummer-producer from hamburg and musicians from kenya links electroni- ca with african recordings in a unique, exciting fa- shion. it therefore has been and still is being praised in various scenes from techno to jazz to world mu- sic. the cd will receive the award preis der deut- schen schallplattenkritik in may 2011, category: nu and extreme. also friends of the label have been enthusiastic about e quality of this material. pingipung therefore re- leases a 10inch vinyl with reworks of the album in the end of may. lawrence, hamburgs most melancholy house artist, co-owner of the labels dial, smallville and laid dedicates himself to the track kayamba tuc tuc. he reduces the track to its essen- ce, without adding anything new, and edit full of wisdom with heartfelt warmth. taprikk sweezee is the best known moniker of the musician nikolai von sallwitz next to gizmog or fussel . taprikk sweezee builds his soul glitch beats with ease, and he is by the way the most convincing electronic performer we know these days. one single track was not enough for his mix. wed love to see him dance with all the kenyan musicians who play on his two originals of choice, kayamba tuc tuc and mariae. furthermore on this 10inch: a rework of paperflowers by sven kacirek himself, created in cooperation with samy de- luxe producer sebastian winkler. finally, less a bonus but maybe the secret highlight: the ex- clusive sven kacirek track takaye village!

outstanding explorative techno for the fearless, comes in killer gatefold sleeve - absolutely & highly recommended!

produced slowly and meticulously over the last 12 months, these seven tracks are the closet thing we have had to a new album from andy stott since the release of his debut full-length merciless five years ago. taking influence from an array of seemingly incoherent noises, from the indefinable and unforgettable mind- tricks of arthur russell to the slowhouse of kassem mosse, from the alternate vhs realities of james ferraro and jamal moss to the linn drum classics of the vintage prince era - these seven tracks create their own pace and agenda, largely shying away from the dancefloor in favour of something more complex and hard to define.

killer new 12 inch with no information or song titles, simply called >scott grooves white label of the month<. the a-side is an incredible techno track full of energy guaranteed to move the crowd at peak time. the b-side is a grimey, acidic drum work out that will have the heads banging and bootys shaking. cant wait to see what mr. grooves has in store for us next month

the lp includes extended versions of the tracks while the cd includes the original. comes with mp3 download code.

hypnotizing acid-ebm-electro-wave masterpiece from düsseldorf. tolouse low trax is detlef weinrich, one of the members of german band kreidler, dj and co-owner of the düsseldorf based club/bar salon des amateurs. tolouse low trax remixes noblesse obliges already fantastic >the great electrifier< into a mesmerizing and highly original blend of electronic dub and new-wave-like techno. the other three tracks are solely by the hand of tolouse low trax. his unique signature is all over it: teutonic marching beats with layers of spaced-out, dubby electronics. the perfect soundtrack for a german party in an african cocktailbar during a full eclipse in the middle of a coup d etat. fear and loathing in düsseldorf. highly original and an absolute must-have.

gobble gobble is a majestic and pulsating force drawing as much from the visceral and poetic indie rock of pixies as the electronic production of dan deacon or crystal castles, while remaining entirely unclassifiable. these canadians have created a grass-roots movement with their mobile rave infinitour 2010 which lasted from june to november and saw them playing suburban gardens, private homes, small indie venues, as well as pop montreal and cmj. hundreds of blog posts by the likes of stereogum and nme, a series of amazing singles, an appearance on debontons 2nd compilation, and a nomination by pitchfork as best new hope of 2011 have secured their position as poster children for the brave new pop scene. with boring horror they give their listeners not just the single by the same name, but also a b-side (eat sun, son) and two other original bonus tracks (seizure to the metronome, as well as two remixes commissioned by debonton to spice up the package. generous, emotional, exciting, and completely avant-garde, gobble gobble is a hurricane of freshness for the audience and the listener. limited edition of 500 units worldwide.

this brussels-based crustacean s cosmic craft has to be heard to be believed. sounds spring to life from forgotten corners of your speakers, each one battling for your attention yet always emerging at the right time and the right place, painting its part of the picture. shards of broken breakbeat litter the sea-bed and form a solid back bone for this invertebrate s innovative use of samples, synths and instrumentation. leading you from one vast soundscape to the next, complete with unexpected plot twists in foreign waters, squeaky lobster s beats take you out of the aquarium and into the abyss. lapti (rus). this russian beatmaker scavenges most of his samples right off vhs or dictaphone tapes. melodies you ve never heard, together with familiar retro samples, create a nostalgic and cinematic mood. masterly produced hip hop instrumentals, a clear and fresh sound, new themes and original interpretations of old and good - this is the spin of lapti

macro greets rhythmic expressionism: stefan goldmann’s “the grand hemiola” is the first real innovation in the vinyl format in years! 144 locked grooves build a toolkit that breaks out of the limitation of one 4/4 cycle and brings unique possiblities to create complex polyrhythms just with two decks and a mixer. stefan goldmann’s first ever double vinyl album is a take on the infinite possibilities of rhythmic layering. percussion-heavy, focussed on clashing metres, deeply exploring the sound set – from the orchestral “grand hemiola”, to the triplet-feel of “megi’s waltz”, from the 11/8 pattern of “double hendecagon” to the anti-loops of “away from the flock”: a unique, non-conformist album of haunted acoustics, haptic percussion and deep rhythmic expression. a true, first time invention comes on two sides of the vinyl set: “the grand hemiola” loop toolkit overcomes the time restriction of locked grooves: one record contains loops in 4/4, the other in 3/4 (employing the time differences of the rotation rates 33 and 45 rpm). in the mix, they sum up to an extended cycle of 3x 4/4 or 4x 3/4 and enable building complex “3 over 4” polyrhythms (“hemiolas”). you can mix loop into loop for hours without ever getting trapped. more than an album, this is a note: pitch down side d to approx. -1.5 to match the loops’ bpm rate on sides b & d
