octave one announce their new album under the much loved random noise generation guise. the first rng release was falling in dub in 1991 and sounding just as fresh 27 years later, endustry is due for release this spring. something of a new take on their creative process the burden brothers made most of this music on the road while they toured over the past year, using the country they were in at each time they recorded to influence and inspire each track. we were tucked away in so many hotel rooms that we decided to make sure we brought enough extra equipment so that we could set up a true lab to create from country to country and make the grooves that we wanted to experiment with on the dance floor. comments lawrence. this body of work encompasses 7 full length cuts, naturally all with that classic octave one emotion. alkaylze, more than any of tracks on this project, embraced the original spirit of random noise generation in so much as the machine seemed to be really guide the creative process. adds lenny much of the foundation of the composition was very accidental, but inspirational, with various musical devices interpreting data in a very unexpected results. it actually came together quite quickly but things just fell into place so naturally. after touring and making music for decades the spirit and essential energy of the craft is what keeps them eternally inspired to keep creating and touring the globe. once it takes hold of you you cant stop even if you wanted to. says the pair, and so endustry is born.

sonic groove records presents the advent of a new strain of contemporary techno for 2018 and advancing electronic music culture further into the future with this release. this is a document of the convergence and alliance of two distinct artistic visions, that of veteran and pioneer thomas p heckmann under his drax moniker and current dedicated activist blush response. the results of this cutting edge collaboration are pure dance floor revelations of the infectious and mind expanding kind. four cryptic transmissions initiating a sequence of combined sonic dna output. this is an interpretation of techno rooted in radical experimentation and upgraded to the next level with compelling innovation. side a initiates the drama with mysterious analog machine signals of both purist and experimental dark techno that are composed of elements crafted at the molecular level. side b continues with intensity delivering more of the combined audio expression of the artists. the intense coded communication weaves through in waves of perfectly balanced synthesis that is reinforced with heavy percussion and complex intertwined and engaging rhythms. a new key to other dimensions in sound. essential

miltiadis merentitis is one of the greatest exponents of the underground greek scene. after several releases on nous, echovolt and synapsis joins freebeat with “epitome of things ep”. miltiades explores here driest territories without forgetting his characteristic paths and chords. but the burden, in these delicate but rude compositions, is shouldered by the rhythmic sequences and the percussion elements. every kick, snare and hi-hat are carefully placed to transport you to another world. to take you to the unconventional and rare world of miltiades.

emotional rescue starts its 5th year by shining a light on one of europe s best underground 80s label in spain s auxilio de ciento. their terra incognita volumes i and ii collated an international mix of synth-pop, new wave, world and industrial sounds to a small but appreciative following. released in 1985 and 1986, the volumes have become highly regarded and rightly sought after, finding a place in discerning playlists from london to amsterdam and dusseldorf to glasgow. here, taking a premise of avoiding the songs unearthed on other recent reissues, is a unique album itself. starting with denis mpunga & paul k s esoteric criola, a fusion of fourth world ideals and poly-rhythmic funk. the music of mal, bene gesserit and la caida de la casa usher, however, soon highlight that the decade also belonged to dark, minimal synth as to shiny balearic ideals. the inclusion of hector zazou with bony biyake and their contribution komba, is a fitting continuation from their cult noir et blanc lp before, things continue with us avant-artist danny alias and his humorous big brother -response- to laurie anderson s superman o. image pour image loose indie-pop and the inclusion of seminal beast of burden lead again to a zazou contribution, this time in his collaborative stranger in a new light, before the compilation eclectically ends with the dadaesque lakota and the post punk dub of instead of s closer, angels

hazel following the newcoming blaník tradition with this piece of various ambient/experimental adventures.

for our 10th release we have one of our in-house artists, xpansul, delivering his first solo release on vinyl in a long time.
on benthos, xpansul takes his distinctive techno sound to the next level, exploring new ways whilst digging deep into his roots, resulting in an exciting and mature sound.
the drums are rougher, the grooves dirtier and the main dish, the synths, are carefully designed to express the emotions that inspired these tracks: restlessness and claustrophobia on blue vertigo, melancholy on oxygen toxicity, euphoria and anger on blackout and the burden of impatience on the bends. to close the ep, oxygen toxicity heliox mix, a dj friendly version of the original that results on a very emotional peak time techno track.
techno tracks to be played funking loud!

octave one announce new album love by machine a year after their impressive last album burn it down, detroit techno legends octave one are back with a nine track double ep that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves. entitled love by machine, the albums name is a nod to the fact that the burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. that is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the 80s, most often releasing on their own 430 west label, which is where they appear again here. say lenny: weve been exploring the theme of connection with this project. how technology gives us the illusion that we are closer to each other more than ever. at some point humanity crossed a line where the devices that we created to bring us together are the same devices that are blocking us from organic experiences.

zeit ist ein fließendes konzept in der welt von phoria. das trio im kern des englischen quintetts - trewin howard (gesang & produktion), jeb hardwick (gitarre & visuals) und ed sanderson (keyboard & vocals) - kennt sich bereits seit über zwanzig jahren, seit der grundschule, wo sie klassische gitarre, cello und violine lernten. nach jahren der musikalischen selbstfindung und des gemeinsamen Älterwerdens, wuchs daraus das selbstkreierte schalllabor namens -phoria-, dem sich tim douglas (bass & synths) und seryn burden (schlagzeug) anschlossen. etliche singles, gesammelt auf zwei eps, hat die band bisher veröffentlicht und zeigte dabei bereits ihr vorliebe für filmmusik und orchestralen post-rock sowie ausladende, auch visuell eindrucksvolle klanglandschaften. textlich befasst sich die band vor allem mit den tiefen der menschlichen psyche und ihrer auswirkung auf unser handeln. “volition” ist das debütalbum der band und erscheint jetzt bei humming records.

zwei jahre nach dem traurigen und viel zu frühen tod des aus aberdeen (schottland) kommenden musikers und designers ewan robertson aka offshore erscheint via big dada nun sein letztes album. die tracks entstanden zum großen teil noch vor seinem tod im jahre 2012 und wurden liebevoll von seinen angehörigen, big dada und befreundeten musikern wie amon tobin, slugabed, ikonika, u.a. selektiert. sämtliche erlöse aus dem verkauf des neuen albums gehen an die marfan stiftung, da ewan an dem marfan syndrom erkrankte. musikalisch überzeugt offshore auf ganzer linie. ob 90s electronica a la boards of canada, post-dubstep bis hin zu hip hop, grime und minimal funk lässt er keine wünsche offen!

the tracks here are in the brutalist machine house vein and the source material for * we come together* (by mazi as asp and john griffin as awoke) will be familiar to devotees of roots chicago house. the brodanse brothers * sleep won t come* is remixed by audio soul project and awoke. chicago based multi-instrumentalist jonn wallen contributes the dense * aesthete* under pseudonym *by gordon gartrelle*. * we get together* is a tribute to the 90s house that inspired us to start making music years ago. people reminisce about how things used to be better, but you must breath in the present. we keep with us those hallowed bones but let pain and suffering fade into the mist. we let memories fade in the depths of our neural web so as not to be paralyzed by the burden of sentiment. we forget to stay sane.

never on a sunday is one of many names used by detroit s burden brothers otherwise known as octave one, a project that has been running since the early 90s. fans of detroit techno and house will already be familiar with the brothers output over the last 20+ years and day by day has long been at the top of the wants list for lovers of the motor city sound since it s 1992 release on 430 west.

a truly essential piece of early detroit techno history here, octave ones original white label octivation ep from 1990 has long been a sought after and coveted slab of wax. this 5 track journey charts the burden brothers mood from sinister, spacey, acidic techno jams (sonic fusion) to deeper, more melancholic mid-tempo cuts (nicolette) and along the way manages to usher in a new wave of detroit techno sounds.

octave one are back. the mesmerising *jazzo* is their latest sonic assault on ab electronic music landscape they have helped define. even though lenny and lawrence burden have now relocated to atlanta, they remain at the epicentre of detroit techno.

arriving onto the electronic scene with i believe, on the monumental (10 records) compilation techno 2: the next generation (alongside carl craig, marc kinchen, and jay denham) in 1990, octave one is the brainchild of the phenomenal native sons of detroit, mi (usa), the burden brothers.

inspired by the wise words: the moment you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfulness, all the burden on your heart disappears. - osho nansen: the point of departure chapter 8.
playfulness, sees the talented german duo in fine form, turning in a slice of skipping house that welds organic percussion to a heavily electronic groove that slowly unfurls into a warm, synth-led number that owes as much to chicago as it does to european micro-house. combining fat melodic sub bass grooves, alongside intelligent layers and synch patterns, creating the perfect dance floor journey for the music purist.
