18+ return with their they remixes ep, a collaboration with artists they respect and admire, with a purpose to reinvent their favourite tracks taken from their critically acclaimed debut album trust . featured artists include the distorted trap beat darling suicideyear (prod. for yung lean), experimental grime producer mr. mitch, and the cult portuguese collective tia maria producoes. the final feature is relatively unknown puerto rican artist audri nix, whose unofficial remix for crow first caught the attention of the band for its similarities to their own aesthetic and magpie-like approach to art. sung all in spanish, audri provides original lyrics just keeping the band’s beats. the 12inch is cut & mastered by matt colton

angels dust is vocalist flavia ciampi and producer david lampley, both originally hailing from san diego, ca. their bewitching, hypnotizing yet soulful debut summons the same heaviness and somber darkness of portishead & mazzy star. ciampi’s almost-whispered vocals are front and center, anchored by loose swinging beats that are as unnerving as they are catchy. lampley (also known as psychopop, one half of san diego instrumental noise legends skrapez, as well as a frequent gonjasufi collaborator) handles the gritty lo-fi production duties.

lonelady nennt parliament/funkadelic, stevie wonder, rufus, prince und arthur russell als inspiration für ihr zweites album, das durchweg unterlegt ist mit einer dringlichen post-punk-sensibilität, die laut künstlerin bezeichnend für die nordenglische seele ist. so erinnern die schlichten drum machine-rhythmen und synthetische percussion an minimal-wave und frühen techno/dance, während lonelady sie mit ihrem komplexen, abgehackten und treibenden gitarrenspiel dynamisch verbindet. produziert wurde *hinterland* von bill skibbe (austra, the kills, the dead weather) in den keyclub recording studios in einer industriezone michigans, wo neben klassischen synths und drum machines auch die 70er flickinger konsole von sly stone steht. das vinyl-album erscheint im klappcover.

long awaited and right in time for summer: sandrow m follows up his much loved -prayervan ep- from 2013. being one of uncanny valley s mainstays since the very start, the dresden based artist once again proves his versatility as well as his knack for synth based melodies with his new ep -kuiper belt rose-. sandrow m seems to love singing along with catchy tunes as much as dancing in the club. we hear it in every note, whether it s the dreamy title track, the elegant -dream controlling- or -next stop hessdalen- which is a veritable dance floor bomb thanks to the rising synths. finally, the aptly titled -miss you again- proves that sandrow m doesn t need a kick drum to move us

welcome back to the movielike resonating sound world of the 23s. already in 2008 the mysterious one-man band proofed with the album “bolivia” that they are trying to do another kind of music – something that isn’t entertainment, something that isn’t show, something that goes gently straight to your soul. now the producer from nord-rhine-westphalia did it again and tuned in the longplayer “flamingo”. anew he delivers a special kind of cinematic journey music that grooves opposite to his other, more rhythm based hypnotic dance productions. also as the 23s he produces pattern-based music, but it pursues a different intention: each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films that his inner eye creates unprejudiced. all ten tracks are romantic smooth operators. they put themselves in service of an artistic vision, in which the listener should get lost in music. the album can be seen as a love-letter to the movie scores of the french 70s cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements you can hear in the early cinema of peter greenaway. with double bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there and beats that recollect the warm jazz influenced soul of oldschool hip-hop the 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. you can listen to it attentive. or you can just play it in the back while doing whatever you like to do. it is recommended to play “flamingo” in a decent amount of volume as all loungey tracks begin to live bigger and brighter with sound intensity. if you play it flashy you will experience an atmospheric sometimes light-flooded, sometimes foggy 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls to fill the room between the notes with their very own milky fancy. soon the album will be accompanied by a bunch of remixes tuned in and twisted by producers like giegling and white artists edward, christian s of the cómeme tribe, canadian producer the mole and the german post rock and electronic music band to rococo rot.

ltd 50% deal , rote liebe releases tim keilings new album under his erdbeerschnitzel moniker. in contrast to his recent dancefloor-oriented eps on delsin records, the attendants is hovering over more subtle grounds, featuring a mixture of contemporary electronic composition and hazy experimental pieces just outside the dancefloor proper. rote liebe is a cologne-based collective, founded in 2006 with a focus on events in various off-locations and clubs around the city. 2013 marked the launch of the rote liebe label with the aim to build a catalogue which features a broad musical spectrum, featuring house, techno, broken beat and experimental electronics just as the regular rote liebe nights.

the undisputed masters of brain-altering, transcendent electronics return with their first studio album since 2010’s further. released to coincide with headline slots at glastonbury, sonar and bestival, the chemical brothers’ eighth studio album - born in the echoes - is a magnificent eleven-track collection of lean, propulsive machine driven music. from juddering robotic funk to unhinged futurist freakbeat, icy spectral psych to rhapsodic analog synthetics, from euphoric spiritual acid to harmonic ambient distortion, the album is the sound of a reinvigorated chemical brothers creating some of the most mind-expanding music of their career to date.

nicolas villebrun, half of society of silence and acid square dance, is putting out his first solo album on fragil musique, accurately titled « snare roll lp ». villebrun only needed a couple of recording sessions during a short period of time, to put the whole thing out from a unique set up. although an accomplished musician, tite seems to leave his technical skills aside when crafting his music, embracing all the spontaneity one would expect from a techno producer. listening to the lp, the title starts to make sense. when the snares are not rolling, the smooth basslines take over, strongly dragging bodies towards the dance floor. hungry man, move into hell, a white track, and the amazing the bell glides are among those. basslines curved as a horse s behind, subtly swifting through the air, are playing around with smartly spread out rhythms and textures. tite comes up with nine commonly grounded tracks, but with the necessary talent and sharpness to produce a resolutely fine, homogeneous, and yet diversified techno lp.

sechs jahre nach seinem debütalbum *butter*, in denen der fleissige produzent u.a. mit seinem projekt tnght (zusammen mit partner lunice) vorführte, wie man edm und hiphop zu einem neuen modernen clubsound vermengt, bietet sein zweitling *lantern* alles, was wir uns gewünscht, aber niemals erwartet hätten. *lantern* ist ein fusion-album, das alles kristallisiert, woran hudson bislang gearbeitet hat, ein entwurf seines masterplans. eine moderne fusion von avantgardistischem ansatz und urbaner pop-sensibilität, intensiv und dynamisch orchestriert. ein zeitloser, in die zukunft blickender, neuer massstab für pop und soul musik. herausragende beispiele dafür sind die potentiellen singletracks *very first breath* mit dem französischen r&b-sänger irfane, der chorale hurricane namens *warriors* mit dem kalifornischen mysterium ruckazoid an seiner seite, sowie die elegische symphonie *indian steps* mit antony hegarty on vocals.

runddans ist ein 39-minütiges werk von abstruser schönheit und brillianz, das für die doppel-lp auf 45 rpm in seine bestandteile zerlegt wird.die sensation ist zweifellos die teilnahme des classic-rock-veteranen todd rundgren, singer/songwriter, progrocker und produzent in den glorreichen 1970ern, der sich nie scheute, mit musikern jüngerer generationen zusammenzuarbeiten, sei es tame impala, daft punk, nine inch nails oder sogar tyler, the creator. seine beiden mitstreiter sind der norwegische musiker emil nikolaisen, mitglied der psychrock-band serena-maneesh (4ad), sowie (hans-peter) lindstrom, neben prins thomas und todd terje der profilierteste vertreter des typischen cosmic/space-disco-sounds made in norway.

aaaas debut album *shiva watts* sounds both vivid and complex, capturing the raw energy of the mexican producers praised live performances at mutek, boiler room and elsewhere. it is a direct result of tireless, disciplined experimentation with analogue hardware. the 16 tracks on *shiva watts*, which is available for the first time ever on vinyl through the berlin-based antime label, take their cues from a variety of musical styles, most notably acid, combining elements of hard-hitting techno, textural idm, dry-but-funky electro and trance-inducing house with lush ambient-leaning interludes. *shiva watts* is an album which celebrates stylistic and emotional ambiguity, which provides the perfect soundtrack for a world yet to come - and everything that will follow after that. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

sweet valley is nathan williams (wavves) and his brother kynan, two bongwater-soaked beat geniuses making rap instrumentals that feel like melted playstation games. mndr is a one-of-a-kind artist and songwriter versed in britney and breakcore in equal measure. put them all together with producer peter wade and dance 4 a dollar is the result, a darkly catchy cali masterpiece. sv chop up strip club 808s and woozy synths like they are reclaiming trip hop for the dj mustard era, while mndr explores the underbelly of radio songcraft, finding the creepiness inside champagne anthems and coating tales of teenage nihilists with rihanna-worthy ear candy. decay never sounded so sweet.

following releases by ramzi (etwal timoun) and aquarian foundation (planet of discipline), montréal/los angeles label total stasis announces the first lp by swiss producer anom vitruv, entitled anomie. subtitled five studies about death, anomieis an intricate tapestry of field recordings, incidental sounds, and blackened, looming ambience that fluctuates between detachment and foreboding. at one point a clattering house piece rises from the mix, punctuating the records sensual, vaguely funereal exhaustion. cover art comes from brazilian artist marcellvs l., whose minimalistic studies on stasis, time, and mirage complement anomies intro/outrospective sense of limbo. mastered by brandon hocura (invisible city editions) at polyphasic studios in toronto.

roberto bosco has selected in recent months kinys music, to better prepare his first 12 inch, consisting of four tracks, named *damaged memory*. the track *unknown* (a1) leads off the dance of the release on last drop records imprint. it is a proper exploration in an unknown sonic territory to most of the people, and also a difficult element to make out for those who are novice to the visionary component in the musical poetic of kiny. the track starts with rounds of recurring sirens, almost deafening, framed by dark and ghostly noises. something not easily identifiable, ambiguous and unknown, as the title itself says, is perceptible in its sound. all this helps to shape a bad presage that fades away into the mystery.

paradise valleys debut deep probe ep could well be a case study on how to make an unforgettable electronic music record. take an incredible, psychedelic collection of ideas that have been drenched in emotional content and heart ache and then infused with optimism and inspirational, healing emotions, shake it with visions of outer space, and the production level 99, put that into a track that will be the defining moment of any dj set: you just got deep probe

after making waves with early and idiosyncratic eps on labels like rush hour and astro:dynamics, singular uk talent bnjmn now steps up to make his debut on delsin with six tracks of experimental and inventive noise and techno. coil opens his account with screechy, unnerving synths squeals, imposing and throbbing pads and super deep kick drums that come at you from miles below. it s a hugely textured and spine tingling affair before the ambiance of berth comes rippled with glassy and alien little melodies. merge has turbo charged drums hiding beneath more unsettled synth based noise that sound sernee at the same time as being paranoid. on the flip, and suddenly makes your hairs stand on end with is gothic celestial glow and slithering synth patterns, blown is a damaged and degraded bit of icy, thumping and reverb heavy techno and azure ends on a brain soothing, chilled out ambient high. these are the sort of truly unique and magically textured tracks you would expect from a producer like bnjmn, and mark a fine debut on delsin.

as part of longstanding no wave duo naked on the vague, murky girl group knitted abyss and extraterrestrial drone project half high, lucy phelan has been a critical force in the sydney diy scene for over 10 years. under the solo veil of lucy cliche, she annihilates with these four wavey techno tracks that honour her noise and punk ethos. with pounding drum sequences, draining synths and emotionless vocals echoing cosey fanni tutti, her dark dreams sabotage our calculations of modern dance while demonstrating how physicality and the ethereal can interact.
