with his debut album back to bedlam, elia vens presents the astonishing result of his musical rebirth. no doubt, he keeps the balance between underground techno and rhythmic house music with a dash of haunting melodies. the production time of one and a half years proofs his will to accurately establish a serious musical base and that he took his time to collaborate with several artists from divergent fields. the element of surprise runs like a golden thread through all tracks and eventually leaves behind the answer to the very question for the identity of elia vens.

1nce again is back, this time with the first single in a double package! this is the first of two 12 inches containing one of our absolute favourite tracks from prolific producer ken duke aka dj duke. closer was orginally released back in 1994 on dukes power music records and the amazing klubb kidz mixes quickly found its way into many djs record bags, including label boss mad mats who rates the flava dub as one of his favourite deep house cuts of all time. if u ever heard mats spinning a house set chances are big you have heard this mix blasted loud! first up for remixes duties this time is mark seven, parkway/parkwest label owner, a true djs dj, a passionate music lover and record collector extrodinare. the so close mix of closer is deep house at its finest, an homage to the classic prescription sound keeping it ultimately atmospheric. the stalker mix continues on the same vibe yet develops into something more meaty and pumping during its course. together with the original klubb kidz flava dub and the mark seven mixes this release got everything a true deep house head needs.

little is known about mysterious producer tommy rawson. our first acquaintance was the aptly named shy track on red rackems smugglers inn 001 release. we tried to find out more but the trail got cold pretty quick. it was not until hearing gilles peterson playing a version of hugh masekelas dont go lose it baby on his show that word got around, tommy rawson was back. this particular anthemic track found its way to mats who then started playing it out and every time, in every club no matter where in the world the reaction was same, people completely lost it on the dance floor! we had but no choice to release the track and luckily enought tommy must have a sixth sense because at the same time mats blasted the track at the local talk office to convince tooli shouting: this is the next big release for local talk, i m telling you! another track made it into his mailbox, the soulful house jam brenda done died with no name. both tracks ended up on this 12 inch of course. mr rawson has delivered the goods here, warm, sunsplashed music all the way. a name to watch for this year and probably not mysterious for long.

the story of bonobo is one that has become uncommon in contemporary music. there was no sudden, viral internet sensation, no one-off big hit, no abrupt, accidental alignment with the zeitgeist. instead, over the course of four albums, myriad tours, singles, remixes and production work for other artists, he quietly but very definitely became one of the most important artists in electronic music. the hard work paid off, and culminated in 2010s black sands, a masterful album that married greens inimitable melodic genius and musicianship to bleeding edge electronics, bass and infectious drums.
after a year plus of touring the hypnotic, extended live versions of black sands, he finally found time last year to embed himself in his new york studio and write his fifth studio album. now, in 2013, he stands ready to take things up yet another notch. the north borders is a long stride forward - both a natural evolution and a continuation of the electronic palette of black sands. thematic, resonant, addictive and perfectly formed, it is a thrillingly coherent statement piece.

left hand path is an ode to the other, the outside, the odd and uncanny, a window to the wilds of theoutdoors from the crushing claustrophobia of the rat race. musically, the new aspects album deftly treads the light beam divide of old and new - at times dusty-fingered and familiar, yet finding moments of un-quantized lo-fi sci-fi - not far from l.a.s low end theory sound buffet.

für news from nowhere wagten darkstar den schritt vom digitalen homestudio zur staubigen studioenklave von richard formby, der u.a. für seine ausnahmearbeiten für mogwai bekannt ist. inspiriert von englischem prog-rock und obskurem techno, kreierte das trio - basierend auf seiner affinität für hip hop-produktionen - loops, die sich zu erhabenen arrangements entwickeln. das ergebnis ist ein einzigartiges werk zwischen dark-electronica und post-dubstep, das sich mit den momenten zwischen den momenten befasst und sie auf epische, kaleidoskopische höhen hebt, und das in seiner eigenen raumzeit existiert. die reise ins nirgendwo fängt hier an.
