classy, twisted grooving, uplifting blend of fresh uk & detroit techno vibes

five years in the making, this third lp ‘in my last life’ represents a humanising of the enigmatic producer’s sound - comprised of 8 heartfelt and emotional songs penned and delivered by norwegian singer/songwriter ane brun and the incredible alison may respectively. it is also, quite simply, his defining work to date. an artistic statement and a perfectly considered body of work, ‘in my last life’ owes very little to the dancefloor that andrew is often associated with - instead drawing its inspirations from influences as far and wide as kate bush, atoms for peace, aphex twin and talk talk. through its 8 songs, the lp plots an enchanting, carefully spun tale of love and loss - explored through the narrative prisms of reincarnation and immortality. taken as one cohesive and beautifully constructed whole, the 8-track lp represents an journey that will surprise, stun and overwhelm those that submit to its charms - a truly personal masterpiece with all the musicality and detail that andrew’s fans know and love him for.

ok eg appears from out of nowhere in a haze of the mellowest ambient techno and downtempo delights for your mind to melt into. -creek- is a smooth but strident route in, the tidal lilt of the pads dissected by a finely paced beat loop that should find a comfortable home amongst deepest house heads. -colours- does away with the drums and uses a plaintive sprinkling of keys and delays to create an evocative backdrop for fragile females vocals. -reef i & ii- is the clubbier cut, rolling out over the b side with a looming monosynth bassline and some dub techno inflections making it a smart choice for warm up scenarios especially.

albrecht la brooy s analogue attic imprint returns this may with a solo project from one half of the duo, alex albrecht, under his newly formed melquiades guise... the past few years have seen albrecht la brooy steadily hone their unique spin on house & techno via self-released gems & acclaimed projects on night tide, voyage records and butter sessions, culminating with the release of their debut long player tidal river on apollo/r&s earlier this year . this solo material from alex s new alias (soon to be debuted on scissor & thread) takes a more dancefloor orientated approach. the material recorded live, retaining an improvised feel and managing to capture the surreal and mysterious atmosphere of the australian bush. combining atmospheric field recordings, jazz tinged double bass-licks and bright piano elements, all woven together with the label s trademark intricately programmed rhythms, the bluff ep is an engaging, mesmerising and addictive addition to the label s already well-loved output...

the latest release on francis harris scissor & thread label out of brooklyn is another exercise in deep and meditative atmospheres. the label, comprised of a tight knit collective of multi-faceted composers, vocalists and instrumentalists, always strives to develop new projects based on a shared aesthetic, and this five track ep is both boundary pushing and fully synchronized with the labels approach. with melquiades blue caves melbourne based composer and sound designer alexander albrecht presents his solo debut ep following on from the tidal river album he released as part of the albrecht la’brooy duo. the title track blue caves is a skittering, weightless exploration of space, seemingly built around lush field recordings and fragments of melody developing out of the ether. avlemonas flows from a similar source, but crystallizes around an off kilter rhythm and occasional subby bass, balanced against swooping pads and piano motifs. morning breeze seems to revel in the evocative nature of its title, with hand played percussion backing more wistful, emotive piano sketches and wandering bass notes, before the track settles into a hypnotic groove. label head francis harris provides another take on the track for his re-form version, a more dancefloor aimed excursion that draws deeply from the classic deep house of the new york and detroit masters. ending the relases is patio, which drifts back towards the ambient territories of the opening tracks, with exquisite, understated instrumentation and a melancholic yet elated vibe.

dutch producer and live act conforce is back with autonomous , a fifth artist album and the latest in his long relationship with delsin records. conforce is boris bunnik, a producer who explores the deepest realms of dub, house, techno and electro under many different names. his conforce alias is where his most club orientated material comes from and this new nine track album finds the transcendent label boss producing dark syntheses inspired by his hometown and harbour city, rotterdam, and its automated industries. a masterfully conceptual album that really paints a vivid picture of a harbour as heard from deep down in the depths.

the debut homemade weapons lp ‘negative space’ is still fresh in peoples playlists after a unanimously acclaimed release, and has gone on to be used as a benchmark for d&b lp’s that exist on the edges of the music’s periphery. combining function and form with equal emphasis, negative space is an lp full of tracks that dj’s play in clubs as opposed to being largely relegated to online mixes. to follow on from the lp, we selected 3 samurai artists to rebuild their favourite tracks from negative space and have combined this with a tidal track vip from homemade weapons made initially for his dj sets. ancestral voices, the untouchables, and sam kdc all turn in unique interpretations.

ultra-rare d.i.y minimal / synth-pop / industrial / darkwave album from 1986! . kozmonaut was the personal project of a young & talented canadian musician called michael gutierrez, who moved to san francisco in the early 80s. influenced by kraftwerk and german culture / electronic music, michael recorded the “flieg” album all by himself at his garage studio, using the pseudonym of “hans schiller”.

nice price deal !!! beaumont steps up for the next release on hotflush, with his >never love me ep<. the young scottish producer michael rintoul created a slice of hypnotic r&b dream pop on last years >blush reponse ep<. it was described by inimitable brighton-based blog 20jazzfunkgreats as having produced, >by a strike of genius and inspiration<, the authentic soundtrack to >a really cool z-series 80s thriller<. this time round, the vocal work on the title track is reduced to a barely intelligible processed warble, which provides the scaffolding that supports the sparse drums, synth washes and plucked melody. >uptown< begins with carpenter-esque keys of dread, but is quickly drenched in a warm shower of shimmering keys that tussles with the shuffling half-beat. the >rendez-vouz< could be on mars, cosmic winds billowing, until a snaking bassline throbs into sight, beaumonts impeccably programmed drums playing off against the tense synths. star crossd lovers indeed upon the eps closer, >verona beach<, the tidal back and forth grounding, the sound of the sun setting on a miami vice beach, but disturbed into syncopated sense.

the material collated on this third release from heavenly music corporation was composed specifically for st. giga in japan, a satellite broadcast radio station transmitting ethereal audio harmony 24 hours a day. what made this station otherworldly was its programming, motivated by tidal movements, the aquatic ebbs and flows of each day synchronised to the activity and intensity of the music broadcast.

pure, beyond reproach is the new studio album from vibrational club artist egyptrixx. new sensations + new energy, jeep music for a saturn moon. an exercise in physical sound and granular symbolism, this record suggests a parallel between the total impact of human tendency towards absolute loyalty and an imagined, sub-threshold percussion of collisions among all the oceanic micro-plastics.
the aesthetic is pacific litter clank, chill torrents and artificial triumphalism...actual glow. repetition apes tidal energy, a reminder of the revolutionary capability of sound. splashing, pounding, dripping, phasing. glinted piles of shatter swept back and forth - crystal ammunition // liquid contemplation. anodyne ammo mimics the erasure of ethics via dispersion, backlit by the low key petroleum tangle of bffs/oblivion.

holovr is jimmy billingham who also records under the aliass tidal, venn rain, journey of mind & holographic mind - he has released music on firecracker records, opal tapes and hooker vision as well as his own indole records release information anterior space may strike some listeners of a certain age as an echo of the gilded age of armchair techno exemplified by warp records artificial intelligence comps. theres a similar convergence of the cerebral and the blissful in the four epic compositions holovr (aka jimmy billingham) finesses from his analog and digital synths as that found on those early-90s pieces by black dog, b12, and others.

after a fine first ep on the label in 2105, dutch duo artefakt are back on delsin with the mental universe. this four track ep again finds robin koek and nick lapien showcasing their knack for spellbinding grooves of voodoo techno, absorbing ambient and frictionless drum programming after other outings on the likes of prologue and field records.

butterflies is lord tang s second full length release. it is a warm descent into a dub fueled frenzy of color and light. it is a sound dredged from the depths of jamaican dub and spun into a new form that incorporates the many influences on lord tang s creator, dominic cramp: soundtracks, library music, vintage science fiction, broken beats, dirty electronics, modular electronic music, abstract tone clouds.

this eleven minute stormer is given a twisted treatment by nick payne with his remix that brings forth a tidal wave of sub bass headiness best suited for the late night hours.

this ep brings together tracks that bookend lee norris prolific career: two from 1998s sought-after tidal frequencies ep and two cd-only tracks from 2015s * soul of the machine* compilation. for fans, this is a welcome reminder of the sometimes visceral (‘instamatic’), sometimes weightless (‘fragile’) but always deeply-felt sensation that noriss’ music continues to impress even on the most seasoned devotee. for new listeners, this is a comprehensive introduction to the career of a man whose sound has remained diverse yet cohesive over more than 15 lps and twice as many 12”s. ‘slowform’ and ‘ride’, both new cuts from last year’s retrospective, show a dance floor progression that bodes well for his newest album, out in 2016.

san fransisco meets nyc for the third release on fifth interval. rose bay from federsen sets the tone for the record: drenched in tape hiss, the warm pads and delays create a richly textured environment for deeper club sets or for 2am sessions on headphones. dub techno luminary brendon moller offers up two versions of the title track to complete the ep - one in his own name and the second under his ecologist guise. fans of the label will no doubt be well aware of moller s formidable discography, which includes 10 albums under a variety of aliases, exploring the outer reaches of dub music. coaxing two captivating versions from his studio in upstate new york, moller focusses on the chord stabs from the original for the echologist dub, pushing the stabs and percussion through the desk, twisting the tails through tape delay and creating new vistas through crafty use of panning and bona fide dub production techniques. closing with the outstanding tidal dub, moller dons his beat pharmacy cap and pushes the mammoth bassline to near speaker-crushing levels to create a deeply hypnotic groove that is accentuated by waves of ferric pads and fractured percussion.

once again the dutchman from the north boris bunnik (who actually resides in rotterdam now, but that aside) is showcasing his magic fingers, this time on shipwrec s deep techno offshoot deep sound channel. hinterland is a topnotch ice-cold but heartwarming submarine electro/techno album with distant hints of idm, in other words the perfect soundtrack for the long midwinter nights to come.

kindred phenomena marks mattheis debut album. after two cosmic eps on nous klaer and a mini-album on tape for ecstatic recordings, he now returns to nous klaer for his first full story. an album shaped for every occasion: driving from the city to the island, dancing in the living room, or raving at sunset. on kindred phenomena mattheis picks up where he left off: swell serves as another episode of the prisms, the modular synth excursion of bit fragments pushes his arpeggiator solos a step further, and album standout ben_m provides his most beautiful dance of melodies yet. the album consists of eight tracks and comes as a double 12 inch for deejay convenience, and for the ultimate experience: go see mattheis perform his album live on the road.

for the sixth release on people must jam, we headed to poland to find two very special guys that make up ptaki. ptaki have been making ripples around the world for their unique approach to putting together a record or two and having just recently dropped their album przelot those ripples have turned to waves. we are proud to announce their new record - antypody that will possibly turn those waves tidal! ptaki have delivered a wonderful varied ep with four different cuts. kicking off with the crazy uptempo hi-nrg disco cut milosc after which the record moves into the more gorgeous balearic territory of termy. this blew us all away when we first heard it. on the flip lotnik showcases some solid house roots before the ep ending on the porn sampling and rather brilliant radio roman. we are really stoked to have these boys on board for what we feel is going to be a very sought after record. 180g vinyl - strictly limited.

a column of bull ants moves across the rain forest floor, constantly moving limbs shift like the tidal flow of a river. each carries a large bright leaf in its mandibles maybe twenty or thirty times its size. the column swerves around a tendril-like air duct that services a chamber below. one strays too close and slips down still carrying its leaf. it flies down the air pipe and is projected into the interior of an anechoic chamber. beads of sweat ooze down bintus grizzled brow as he continues experiments into noiseless ultra bass. if applied correctly this acoustic energy can have devastating effects.

with his second release for planet mu this year, >dream on< is more of a full-length outing for ital aka daniel martin-mccormick and a much more substantial record than the popular and critically acclaimed >hive mind<.
on >dream on< ital takes his experimentation with house and techno forms even further, creating impressionistic deconstructions from the tropes of early house and techno. sunny chords, laid back drum shuffle and rhythmic vocal loops are picked apart and threaded with a rich psychodrama of delirious textures, tidal chords and uneasy roughness and dissonance.
vinyl format ships with digital download code.
