amidst the maelstrom of aliases adopted by detroits prodigious and prolific mmaatttthheeww ddeeaarr, audion is undoubtedly the grittiest -- a dark representation of dears id and a brain undone. the singles kisses,the pongand just fuckinghave earned immense praise for their serrated approach to heavy 4/4 techno, bringing untamed synths and raucous beats into a devastating melange. all three songs appear on the suckfish full-length alongside eight other dancefloor burners that also work on the listening/psychedelic level, making for one of dears strongest and most distinctive releases to date

"a well-known producer from chicago recently found a digital tape in his basement with only the words ""work it !"" written on it. after a quick listening it was obvious that he had to remaster it and send it to us as he knows how much we like the underground and mistery. we cannot reveal whose this tape belong to but listen and you should find out.."

dear human survivors,Ê while the story of grounded in humanity is coming closer to its glorious end - there will be 3 more releases before the final showdown of humanity vs. human clones - the birth of our spin-off label human insurgents is taking shape. the first chapter, a 11-track album, is written and told by phat lord - who is also known as leader of the human resistance, trying to put an end to the brutal regency of the clones. phat lord is a true legend of the underground and his origin and location are totally unknown, even for the largest part of the resistance. some say he may even be a clone himselfÉ. the album is a sonic trip through various mental states and dystopic landscapes. it is a result of 8 years moving below the surface and often in the dark, to avoid discovery. he worked with simple, analog methods, focusing on the true essence of sound. we recommend a setting that allows for deep listening and proper bass support.Ê

the french trio evergreen (previously name we are evergreen) grew up listening to pop music from the us and the uk. yet, like many of the most influential artists of todays french pop scene (fishbach, halo maud, etc.) they value both french and english to deliver their message. this new album Ôoverseas was recorded with ash workman (fran�ois & the atlas mountains, metronomy, christine and the queens), and see the band use a warm sound loaded with synthesizers and draw influences from the likes of django django, air or metronomy to craft percussive electro-pop songs.

martyn releases new album voids, his first for ostgut ton over the past year, dutch-born, washington d.c.-based producer martyn has undergone a metamorphosis Ð one that began with a medical emergency and has dovetailed into personal musical transformation. having narrowly avoided death after suffering a heart attack, martyn reentered his studio and began a process of reassessing the elements that drive him to make music: sampling, unpredictability, melancholy, sci-fi, polyrhythms, texture, ecstatic moments, detroit, interlocking percussion and bass. however, the initial spark to start producing again came through his experience listening to max roachÕs 1979 ensemble percussion album mÕboom.

in the world of electronic dance music, åme stand apart. since 2003, the duo of frank wiedemann and kristian beyer have cut a singular path through techno, house, minimal, ambient and more with their anthemic singles and mixes. but 2018 reveals their finest achievement yet, their debut full-length album dream house. it both sounds unmistakably like åme and unlike anything youve ever heard from the duo, an evocative home listening journey enacted after 15 years spent crafting dancefloor weapons.

like all dj koze records, knock knock exists outside of trend and influence. in fact, it s a step further beyond: absolutely every single thing here, from grooves to voices to handclaps, is otherworldly and unique. which is not to say it is utterly alien abstraction, mind. there is still disco, there is still soul, there is still techno, there is still hip hop, there is still psychedelia Ð there are even wafts of easy listening, lost crackly thriftstore record memories and... sort of... indie rock Ð but though it may sound familiar, it never does what your brain thinks it s going to do.

liquicityÕs continued success in the world of drum & bass hinges on their dedication to only the highest quality music, made and played by some of the best talent from around the world. the labels long awaited third installment of their flagship album galaxy of dreams is proof of this. this compilation series serves as the main showcase for the labels uplifting sound. with new and original tracks from both well know liquicity names (maduk, fox, veela, flite, rameses b) but also brand new talent (andromedik, polygon, itro, lexurus) and more all round drum & bass names such as ekko & sidetrack and dossa & locuzzed, this collection of tracks brings to you a uniquely uplifting, catchy & energetic listening experience. liquicity continues to release amazing music & throw amazing parties and festivals (liquicity festival 2018 has already been announced for this july, with an immense line-up).

a remastered version of shenzhou on triple vinyl and double cd with the bonus album-the samphire tower. paul cooper, pitchfork: shenzhou, aside from being the name of the chinese manned-spaceflight vehicles, means magic vessel, and i cant imagine a more apt description for geir jenssen s latest excursion into ambient deep listening. after following an aphexian trajectory with his releases on apollo, the ambient sublabel of belgiums r&s records, jenssen veered from the padded sci-fi-inspired techno of microgravity and patashnik with 1997s substrata, a genre-defining exploration of drifting soundscapes. substrata remains for many the album that perfectly expresses the serenity and intensity of arctic wildernesses, a landscape jenssen knows intimately, having spent much of his life in the norwegian arctic circle. in 2000, jenssen nearly eclipsed the success of substrata with cirque, a frequently frosty submerging of excerpted conversations and found environmental sounds that rivals wolfgang voigts gas project in its rumbling, gauzy beauty. jenssen again relies on found sound as source material for shenzhou, but this time, the found sound is old vinyl recordings of the orchestral works of french impressionist composer and ambient precursor, claude debussy. jenssen lifts fragments of these scratched records in a similar manner as he did for cirques black lamb grey falcon and iberia eterea

auf seinem neuen doppelalbum primary colors offenbart us-electronic produzent ryan farish seine fŠhigkeiten, eine perfekte balance zwischen chilligen downtempo- und trance-momenten und uptempo-grooves zu finden, was ihm in seiner heimat bereits vier top 10-alben in den billboard-charts und eine grammy-nominierung einbrachte. electronic listening in perfektion, vergleichbar mit schiller hierzulande.

monkey safari betreiben in ihrer heimatstadt halle mit dem -charles bronson- einen Ÿber die stadtgrenzen hinaus bekannten club sowie ihr eigenes label hommage, das regelmŠssig vordere plŠtze der beatport-tech-house-charts belegt. mit dj-gigs auf festivals wie time warp oder awakenings und mit releases auf label wie kompakt, minus oder bedrock, darunter remixes fŸr marc houle, kšlsch, wolf+lamb, guy gerber, josh wink und moby(!), haben sich monkey safari im laufe der zeit ein internationales renommŽ erarbeitet. -odyssey-, der titel ihres neuen albums, beschreibt treffend den prozess seiner entstehung, das, anfŠnglich als listening-werk geplant, sich im verlauf zu authentischer clubmusik fŸr eine vielzahl von unterschiedlichen dancefloors entwickelte und das unverkennbare genie der beiden versierten dj/produzenten belegt.

die neue fabric-ausgabe kommt von roman flŸgel, einem seit Ÿber 20 jahren elementaren mitglied der frankfurter elektronic-szene, der unter aliases wie alter ego, acid jesus oder sensorama auf labels wie playhouse, ongaku, klang elektronik, cocoon oder dial (club-)musikgeschichte geschrieben hat. und auch sein fabric-mix ist geprŠgt durch seinen langjŠhrigen, charakteristischen stil: abstrakt, idiosynkratisch und dicht, dabei aber immer warm und einladend.

the trickfinger project was recorded 10 years ago with no intention of being released at the time, made purely for discovery and learning experience. -in my opinion, making music with no intention of releasing it is the best thing a musician can do for his own development in this day and age. the trickfinger lp was made in that mindset, and it was the beginning of a new musical life for me. when i hear it, it sounds like i am opening up doorways to new worlds, and i never have had that feeling listening to music i made for the purpose of releasing it and selling it.- all the music was recorded live onto a cd burner, through a cheap mixer. john would sit on a chair, in his living room, surrounded by five to 15 machines, and just keep programming and jamming until the track was ready to be recorded. there were no overdubs Ð recorded all live

the mexican collective future feelings is made up of fernando dimare, juan soto (an existing nang warrior), thomass jackson and dan solo. the talented bunch make accessible dance tunes which are easily at home on the floor or for listening too. after a string of festivals and appearances in south america and a slew of remixes (for artists such as lindstrom, donna summer, goldroom, treasure fingers and the knocks) we are pleased to be releasing their debut album on nang.

after recent releases on the save fabric album, alola & jack trax, mr.c has delved deep into his musical psyche to deliver an acid master-class that s influenced by ska, dub, electro, italo disco, acid house & tech house, bringing his roots up to date with this massive modern production. incidents is about things that can happen while clubbing. down-tempo tracks entry search, a civil dose & quick exit will dub you out. slightly quicker acid fever & stand up will completely groove you & dance tracks do it for me, disco rebellion, shape your dreams, raid, ripple effect & master of the universe will make you dance like no-ones watching. incidents is the complete electronic album that pulls all the punches, gives a nod to the past & yet has it s feet firmly embedded in the future. this is easily mr.cs best solo work to date & essential listening.

island people is a new band project consisting of mastering engineer conor dalton, grammy award winning producer david donaldson, and musician and dj graeme reedie. on their first self- titled record, they present their collaborative work that evolved over the past three years. being based in different cities, namely berlin and glasgow, files had to be exchanged back and forth between the three band members in order to create tracks. for their delicate sound structures, field recordings and other sound sources were heavily processed and rendered unrecognizable. layer after layer, the tracks came into being quiet naturally, not only reflecting their continuous way of working, but also incorporating their different and individual backgrounds: Òduring the whole creation of the album, we never realized our actions were quickly leading us into forming Èisland peopleÇ, we were too busy having fun, making music and sharing ideas.Ó the result of their collaboration is a timeless music that is as open as a natural phenomenon, developing a certain feeling of euphoria over time. all in all, Èisland peopleÇ is a pure listening record in the best tradition of ambient.

cocoon recordings is proud to present the 4th edition of our inhouse-compilation-series dots & pearls. cocoon recordings never has been a narrow minded and singled sided techno label with just one style to refer to. the bandwidth of artists in the label roster such as roman flŸgel, minilogue, guy gerber, åme or even boys noize (just to name a few) proofs that sven vŠth and his label managers have always combined a wide range of techno and house subgenres throughout all the years. electronic music for all different kinds of listening- and body-movement-purposes

suction records is thrilled to present the debut archival album release by rx-101, a bedroom techno producer from the netherlands, erik jong. -like yesterdays- compiles 10 tracks from rx-101 s first two vinyl-only 12- eps, together with three cd/digital album exclusives. this previously unreleased material dates from 1997-1999, recorded live to cassette in a feverish burst of creativity, utilizing a small arsenal of classic techno instruments. here s rx-101 in his own words: -from childhood i loved dance music. in the 80s one of my older brothers always recorded mixes from the radio and we always listened to that. my other brother and sister took music lessons in electronic organ and when i was about 9 years old i did the same. i quit when i was 14. from childhood i was fascinated by synthesizers. in the late 80s i started more and more listening to dance and house music and it was 1991 when i started listening to techno from labels like underground resistance, transmat, metroplex, +8 records and warp

ten walls debut album ÒqueenÓ the long awaited debut album from the highly talented dance music producer and artist ten walls called -queen- will be available from the mid of march in a double cd package. ÒqueenÓ is an organic album consisting out of two parts. first part unravels into a story told through the fusion of strong classical influences, nu jazz, down-tempo electronica, indie & house. itÕs destined to captivate attention with the emphasis on feeling through listening. second part on the other hand is oriented towards feeling through movement and better reflects the side of ten walls known to the dancefloors. this album as one piece, just divided into two physical cdÕs. the package of the album looks like a book - a piece of art. the book includes photos, reflecting each track. Òi have pictured these musical pieces in my mind, as itÕs natural for the artist to exceed the professional competence and search for additional forms that would supplement your work, making it single piece of art.Ó - adds marijus (ten walls). the combination of arts is a very important thing to be noticed, each of them has itÕs space, place and role in the album. poetry and lyrics, photography / visual arts and music, altogether they make ÒqueenÓ more than just a music album. ten walls also made collaborations with very wide and different spectrum of musicians during the creation of his debut album ÒqueenÓ. renowned maestro petras geniu_as, good old friend vytautas sondeckis who contributed with a cello masterpiece, bass guitar domas aleksa, drummer marijus aleksa, singers jonatan bŠckelie, alx , monika liu, marijusÕ spiritual friend and teacher andrew, conductor ri?ardas _umila and nonet performers

a good place to start. her basic sound and image were interior-life bohemian, and in some ways she was cagey with her talent. she didnt belt or improvise broadly. she picked a limited range of notes and climbed into them, applying a pinch of vibrato, letting her voice fade and crackle. these tracks clearly demonstrate her guiding desire, which was to explore the possibilities of the slow blues in the late 20th century, whatever that might mean. some of the most intense recordings she made were english-language covers or japanese rewrites of american jazz standards, blues songs and spirituals, backed by only acoustic guitar and drums. she sang slowly, as if there were weights on her. and after a while of her working and your listening, youll hear it: the way she connects intimately with her task but keeps something private for herself (new york times)

in times where a compilation of 12-inch bangers passes as an album, telephones Òvibe telemetryÓ opts for a different approach. without being a departure from his 12Ós for sex tags ufo, full pupp and yours truly or his brilliant remix work for josŽ padilla and vangelis katsoulis, the norwegian producer from bergen who calls berlin his home, hones sound, skills and aesthetics on his debut long-player. Òvibe telemetryÓ is inspired by the pure feeling of listening to house, disco and techno, prior to knowing what it actually was: ambiguous, euphoric, mystical and melancholic. sonic and physical experiences, which names and origins were yet to be discovered.

grandiose best-of-werkschau des Šgyptischen trance/progressive-duos aly & fila mit 40 ihrer besten tracks und remixes, darunter zeitlose clubhits wie we control the sunlight, lost language und rosaires, top-kollabos mit roger shah, thrillseekers und john o callaghan, sowie exzellente remixes von photographer, husman, arctic moon, w&w, james dymond und jorn van deynhoven.

those of a certain vintage may have a soft spot for global underground s after hours series, which promised to soundtrack -the party after the club- by joining the dots between woozy progressive house, deep techno, electronica and, of course, ambient. some eight years after the last installment, the long-running club brand has decided to re-launch the series. apparently, this latest installment took a year to put together, and featured tweaked, edited and gently reworked tunes layered up for a more enjoyable listening experience. musically, it sticks to similar territory to previous installments, updating the sound a little via tracks and remixes from ewan pearson, lawrence, scuba, matrixxman, michael mayer and joris voorn.

das musikalische alter ego des musikers und produzenten antonio de spirt startet aus dem nichts mit gro§er leichtigkeit mit dem heimlichen hit aaa sowie einer guten handvoll bemerkenswerter electronica-listening-schšnheiten. doch statt der Ÿblichen veršffentlichungsroutine zu folgen, gšnnt sich de spirt fŸr la boum fatale zunŠchst den luxus des experiments

much-celebrated kompakt staple the field returns to the spotlight with new album the follower, his fifth full-length offering after from here we go sublime (kompakt rsd 02 cd 57), yesterday and today (kompakt 193 cd 72), looping state of mind (kompakt 241 cd 94) and cupids head (kompakt 290 cd 110). swedish soundsmith axel willner is well-known for his mastery when it comes to the allusive layering of loops, but it was with his last album cupids head that a newly-found, somewhat pressing snappishness started to replace the soft-hued sonics of his ambient-infused techno, imbued with a darker mood and stronger footing than before. a carefully gauged balance of stoic motorik and gloomy drones was key here - just as it is for the follower which goes even further in blurring the lines between concrete experimentation, body music and precisely laid-out arrangement, leading to one of the most rhythmically and texturally engaging listening experiences in willners catalogue.

nach drei alben auf seinem eigenen label full pupp veršffentlicht der norwegische cosmic-gott prins thomas nun seinen ersten longplayer auswŠrts , nŠmlich auf dem nicht minder geschŠtzten osloer kultlabel smalltown supersound. inspiriert durch 1990 er electronica der marke the black dog, the orb oder klfs chill out album, zaubert der prinz neun wundervolle electronica-tracks aus dem €rmel, die er im nachhinein einer leicht tanzbaren kur unterzieht und seinem typischen sound anpasst. ein durchaus gelungenes listening-experiment fŸr komfortable stunden!

fŸr azhar syed und julian stetter war das debŸt kein leichtes unterfangen, waren doch die erwartungen nach ersten euphorisch aufgenommenen single veršffentlichungen wie celestial oder ential, auftritten bei internationalen showcase-festivals wie dem eurosonic (nl), dem great escape (uk) und sxsw (usa) sowie remixen fŸr josef salvat oder kat vinter immens und die nachfrage immer gleich: wann kommt denn euer album. gemeinsam mit produzent jochen naaf (xul zolar, hundreds) verschanzten sich die wahl-kšlner im studio und bastelten gemeinsam in unzŠhligen monaten am langspieler. mit nights in limbo erwartet uns nun ein mix aus elektronischem pop, detailversessen arrangiertem listening-techno, abstraktem pop aber auch dezentem house. es sind lieder, die die grenzen zwischen song und track ausreizen und vimes teils experimenteller und teils zugŠnglicher als bisher zeigen.

in all there are seven previously released tracks as well as five brand new, never before heard cuts, and they all make for absorbing listening both in the club, on headphones or from the sofa.

two and a half minutes of drums rolling under a whirlwind of cranky guitars and vocals arguing from the bottom of a 1990s boom box, thats 51 black super. 11 tracks and 30 minutes to cross the usa, from california with pavement and weezer to ohio with guided by voices and the raspberriesÉ 51 black super isnÕt a band to get lost on its way, or in futilities. written, composed, recorded in an emergency, with short and intense sessions, the debut album by 51 black super is made in the image of its creators: spontaneous and eager to get things out there. sounds like the strokes with less cocaine and more facial hair, said a californian rock critic after listening the two first few tracks

the last 12 months have been a boon for fans of luke vibert, with the veteran cornishman delivering a killer acid album for hypercolour, and a slick, melodious set of disco-inspired jams under his kerrier district alias. here he returns to regular home planet mu with another typically entertaining set inspired by classic british electronic music. utilising his battery of vintage music-making machines, vibert giddily doffs a cap to early 90s intelligent techno, rave-era hardcore, bleep, chicago acid and braindance, occasionally veering off track via easy listening inspired future jazz, wagon christ style hip-hop head-nodders (the title track, which doffs a cap to a forgotten, mid-90s remix he did for ninja tune) and squidgy, synth-propelled mutant electrofunk.

nach releases auf kompakt, glasgow underground und distance und beitrŠgen fŸr kultserien wie cafŽ del mar und buddha bar erscheint das neue album des griechischen produzenten und neu berliners mikael delta auf inner ear. life is now ist eine neuromantische klanglandlandschaft aus minimalem piano, klassisch schšnen string arrangements und soften synthesizerbeats. dreamy electronic listening fŸr die herbst-/wintersaison.

top-compilation aus dem hause needwant (siehe future disco) mit einer exzellenten auswahl an zeitgenšssischer listening-electronica (idm), die von apparat und luke abbott Ÿber alt-j und lanterns on the lake bis zu nils frahm reicht. cd1 mit 16 tunes in the mix. cd2 mit zwšlf ausgespielten vollversionen.

industry sheds all personalized effort and tests how far you can get by using presets only. all sounds are factory presets of 3 obsolete 1990s japanese workstation synths, all effects are presets, all notes are quantized and most panning is purely accidental (laid out in the preset sounds). industry doesnt rely on successful presets, but on failed sounds of now obsolete synthesizers - industrial assumptions of where culture will go, but where it chose not to. the result is a surprisingly pleasant listening experience with effortless grooves and rich textures - and mildly demonic connotations. from smooth to kicking - a conveyor belt enjoying mood swings. as beautiful as the scheduled meeting of a pvc sheet and a thermoform mould on a workbench
