cloaked in black, dimly lit and sparkling with dust, warm communications announces umbra volume 1. much in the spirit of adam xs traversable wormhole series, warm is bringing you a collection of anonymous releases that remind to remember drum and bass at its true heart: cracking snares, kick drums hitting your chest, subtle pads playing in an offcentered unison over 808 tones drowning distant thunder. these are the tunes you hear in a mix and say, who was that? the tunes that have made you wake up the next morning and type *id?* in the comments page. the tunes that do not even need to be named. warm communications umbra is truly about the art.
umbra volume 1 is a two-track ep that evokes omni trio and saw-era aphex twin, rumbling sine-heavy bass under ringing melody, computed chords and clean, crisp drums. this is a collectable, limited-edition series labeled appropriately with secretive sewer-grate artwork. umbra volume 1 is lurking there, underground, looking up through the shadows. it is up to you to find out just who is waiting there.

die frage ist sicher nur rhetorisch: does anybody wanna funk? fragt paulo mendonca, und wer den schweden mit portugiesischer herkunft kennt, weiß: sein funk funktioniert! nach hunderttausenden verkauften tonträgern und tourneen mit größen wie tina turner gibts ein wiederhören mit dem großen funk-gitarristen.
18 jahre lang veröffentlichte paulo keine alben mehr, er trat zwar noch live auf, widmete sich aber sonst ganz seinem verlag in london. doch dann juckte es ihn wieder in den fingern. er begann, songs für ein neues album zu schreiben und aufzunehmen. das resultat ist ein feuerwerk aus funk und rock, handgemacht und sehr groovy.

christoph el truentos debut album, what we used to know, is born of change and confusion, and sounds utterly incredible for it. the deeply talented 24-year-old new zealander started writing back in 2011 at the time his son was born. tired fatherhood, personal upheaval and artistic indecision would actually help show christoph a clear path towards completing the record – a transcendant sweep of synths, samples, organic instrumentation and window ledge field recording that gently reveals new layers of sonic texture and emotion to the listener.

mr. afro bionic djinji brown brings us an eclectic palette of grooves and sounds that breathe deeply from the soul of music. djinjis corner cleverly reaches though his diverse influence creating an ep that is deep, primal and soul filled. his gift lies in the ability to take music to the edge, stretching beyond the limits of any one genre. as a tribute to his father, jazz artist marion brown, he used a song title taken from marions album titled afternoon of a georgia faun written in 1970 in honour of the birth of his son

mole city is not in the tradition or deviating from the tradition – it is the tradition. after two decades of launching drums, guitars and pianos through the shifting interzones between harmony and chaos (moonlighting along the way with the likes of sleater-kinney, wild flag, elliott smith, built to spill and a long list of others), quasi are a genre of their own - they write songs in the style of quasi, and mole city is the quasi song book: parlour sing-alongs for the last century.
now in their 20th year as a band, and a two-piece once again, sam coomes and janet weis hand-deliver the double album/liberation cookbook/encyclopedia of kicking ass, mole city, to those of us who still care about well-built, homemade objects crafted with integrity, spirit, fire, and skill.

the wandering artists are back for the third instalment of the birdsmakingmachine series, this time again going deeply into the abysses of house music. >multiverse<, occupying the whole a-side, is a deep dancefloor affair filled with endless pads which, having been layered onto elaborate drum grooves, fuse together into the endless horizon. the b-side goes into similar territory, while still managing to create a slightly different ambience: >40th of may< uses intricately groovy steel drum patterns on a long, never-ending journey through the deep depths of the ocean, as for the end credits, >dune< rounds off the ep with an instantly hypnotising groove that melts into delayed vocals, slightly darker pads and a galloping, yet smooth sine-wave bassline.

nice price deal !!! keeping the spirit of sf alive, laidback yet sultry, accessible yet subversive, layering vocal murmurs over lacquered breaks & chunky bass. comes in two versions by schneezy and tee cardaci of 2 block radius and a remix by severino panzetta (horse meat disco). hand numbered with gold foil stamp, download code included.

hot on the heels of the release of neville watsons songs to elevate pure hearts album, crme organization releases a three track ep of remixes from the longplayer. drawing on diverse names, each of the remixers transforms their given track into something quite different from the original. the first is by watsons frequent collaborator, bulgarian producer and live specialist kink. he tackles songs to elevate pure hearts and laces it up with some lazy old rave breakbeats and plenty of lucid synth and melody pattern before fast rising dixon avenue basement jams associate marquis hawkes takes on against the tide . he imbues it with what is fast become a trademark sonic weirdness, with wrought iron synth bars interlocking with molten synth lines and a slow, purposeful and predatory mood. finally, american moon b turns in a trippy outsider house version of son of house with off kilter claps, see-sawing synths and organic drums.

hes such an old romantic...more reflections from the tropics courtesy of king kivits. 1990 says it all - lushed out strings, diva vocal snippets and rave stirring sine wave set the scene while varck lets the beats roll.. in trademark fashion. the b side is absolutely nuts and really smacks - truly something else! art again from the brilliant young cosmo knex (who must have been about 4 yrs old in 1990)..tip! scntst &#8207,at scntst aardvarck you are a genius!

ausgehend von einer großen liebe zu drone, shoegaze, post rock, frühen synthie-klängen und der ausufernden musik der 70er, wächst die klangwelt von conduits zu etwas größerem als der summe ihrer einzelteile: glockenartige gitarren, fließende drums, analoge synthesizer, progige basslinien und eine wunderschöne weibliche stimme, die stark genug ist, um in den wirbelnden soundlandschaften nicht verloren zu gehen. conduits aus omaha, nebraska, gründeten sich 2009 und bestehen aus mitgliedern von the good life, eagle seagull, son ambulance, neva dinova, cursive und the golden age.

mit >life is full of possibities< von 2001 wurde dntel zu einer der wichtigsten figuren der glitch-szene, die der elektronischen musik eine neue dynamik und komplexität verlieh. unvergessliche songs wie >anywhere anyone< verschafften ihm eine treue fan-schar. seit dieser zeit sinnierte dntel, der mit bürgerlichem namen jimmy tamborello heißt, in zahllosen veröffentlichungen gefühlswelten und stimmungen nach. als teil von figurine entwickelte er einen mal anmutig-bezaubernden, mal irrwitzig-albernen techno-pop-sound. mit ben gibbard von death cab for cutie gründete er postal service, deren nummer such great heights wurde vom rolling stone unter die hundert wichtigsten songs des vergangenen jahrzehnts gewählt. dass tamborello als einziger electronic-act des nirvana-labels sub pop gesignt wurde, war zwar eine kleine sensation, rückte ihn aber aus dem blickfeld seiner europäischen fans. schon in den ersten momenten versetzt einen aimlessness mitten in den dntel-kosmos. von van dyke parks bis pavement, von den dead kennedys bis zu dr. dre hat popmusik aus kalifornien durch ihre emotionale abgründigkeit fasziniert. genauso zieht uns dntel in einen unwahrscheinlichen strudel aus irisierend schönen melodien und noch nie gehörten elektronischen klängen.

there are those records you like working on and then there are those records you love working on... this is one of those records we loved! we could not be more excited to welcome back to the camp, the beautiful, amazingly talented tamara wellons. along side her again on this journey at the helm is one of our favorite producers anto vitale that co writes and produces this project. the first time we laid ears on this single we knew what was in store for it, time to bring in the gang to put everyone to work and that we just did for this one. on the remix duties is the man in charge of the soulful movement dj spinna that gives us his signature deep vibes. if that was not enough we welcome back jose carretas that just murders his remix with just enough bounce for the clubs but keeps true to the deep house movement.next up is our good friend jonny montana that never strays from the true elements of deep house and gives us a mix that will be played for years to come with his timeless production. as we always say sit back relax and play this one loud!

a legend of techno music on tigersushi. we are really proud!
an electro hacktivist since the 90s, french techno pionneer, inventor of what became electro clash with miss kittin, true italo disco lover, legitimate son of dopplereffekt and kraftwerk and godfather of the new french sensation gesaffelstein with whom he runs the label zone. when michel amato (his real name) contacted us with a few tracks we felt so honored. he really got back to his roots here with deep italo and electro, warm analog synths against cold robotic drum machines, great melodies. it would have been a hit on the now defunct cbs radio.

last year’s ‘the age of compassion’ by chicago underground house don tevo howard was one of the standout tracks for buzzin’ fly in 2011with widespread dj and media support. it joined his burgeoning body of work on other acclaimed labels such as rush hour and his own beautiful granville. now tevo returns with his follow-up for buzzin’ fly. if ‘the age of compassion’ was a simple and elegant dancefloor bump wrapped in warm analogue melancholia, then the ‘monument ep’ is its nemesis - a stark future-retro reinterpretation of the origins of house music build from the bare components of machines: raw drums, sub bass, sine waves, square waves and oscillators. and yet there is still a burnished beauty to this ep. all three tracks seems to find echoes of each other in their arrangements and brittle harmony. machine music for the modern age edged with passion and feeling, and another fresh step for its producer.
