pophop looks like a pirate, and what he launches from his music studio sounds like pirate ships. on board of these ships there s always a very colorful, exotic bunch of personalities. they are the multicultural characters of the original tracks from all corners of the world. under the command of pophop they sail straight towards the eye of the thunderstorm, which means the heart of the dancefloor. it s the place where he feels home. little by little pophop accumulated so many remixes, edits and own tracks that they fill a whole treasure chest. that s exactly what you get: a treasure chest full of dancefloor gold, and a string of pearls that is a mixed version of all these precious grooves.

the eye of the storm: welcome to tornado wallaces debut album!

pat thomas - coming home! original ghanaian highlife & afrobeat classics 1964-1981

cd digipack edition ... mit -fixion- hat trentem¿ller einen schlŸssigen nachfolger zu -lost- (2013) erschaffen. -lost- verlieh den erstmals auf dem klassiker -into the great wide yonder- (2010) entworfenen, dŸsteren klanggemŠlden nicht nur neue facetten, es vermittelte ebenfalls die packende wirkung trentem¿llers als liveband. auf -fixion- findet die fŸr den dŠnischen kŸnstler typische melancholie in einer einzigartigen, dunklen und romantischen stimmung nun eine gereifte form. anstatt sich neu erfinden zu wollen, nutzt trentem¿ller seine jŸngste veršffentlichung, um bisher ungeschliffene elemente seines sounds zu einem organischen und geschlossenen, geradezu songorientierten werk zusammenzufŸgen. die wie natŸrlich gewachsene struktur des albums wurzelt noch immer in der leidenschaft des produzenten und kŸnstlers fŸr experimente. leichthŠndig vermengt trentem¿ller einflŸsse und genres, ohne seiner einzigartigen, manchmal fordernden tonsprache untreu zu werden. jeder track auf -fixion-, egal ob voller minimalistisch anschwellender synthie-flŠchen oder treibender elektropunk, erhŠlt seine form durch bewusst eingesetzte melodische vielschichtigkeit. -dieses mal sollte mein musikalisches universum mehr raum besitzen. ich wollte es gewisserma§en auf seine essentiellen bestandteile verdichten und doch all die details behalten, die nur beim aufmerksamen hšren bemerkbar sind-, sagt trentem¿ller.

mit ãfixionÒ erscheint das bis dato ambitionierteste album von anders trentem¿ller! inklusive gastauftritten von u.a. jehnny beth (savages), marie fisker, lisbet fritze, jeppe brix (howl baby howl) u.a.. gemastert wurde das album von grammy-nominee emily lazar in the lodge (david bowie, foo fighters, lou reed, goldfrapp, moby, sonic youth, depeche mode, the velvet underground). .. jewel case ed

welcome back to the movielike resonating sound world of the 23s. already in 2008 the mysterious one-man band proofed with the album ÒboliviaÓ that they are trying to do another kind of music Ð something that isnÕt entertainment, something that isnÕt show, something that goes gently straight to your soul. now the producer from nord-rhine-westphalia did it again and tuned in the longplayer ÒflamingoÓ. anew he delivers a special kind of cinematic journey music that grooves opposite to his other, more rhythm based hypnotic dance productions. also as the 23s he produces pattern-based music, but it pursues a different intention: each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films that his inner eye creates unprejudiced. all ten tracks are romantic smooth operators. they put themselves in service of an artistic vision, in which the listener should get lost in music. the album can be seen as a love-letter to the movie scores of the french 70s cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements you can hear in the early cinema of peter greenaway. with double bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there and beats that recollect the warm jazz influenced soul of oldschool hip-hop the 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. you can listen to it attentive. or you can just play it in the back while doing whatever you like to do. it is recommended to play ÒflamingoÓ in a decent amount of volume as all loungey tracks begin to live bigger and brighter with sound intensity. if you play it flashy you will experience an atmospheric sometimes light-flooded, sometimes foggy 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls to fill the room between the notes with their very own milky fancy. soon the album will be accompanied by a bunch of remixes tuned in and twisted by producers like giegling and white artists edward, christian s of the c—meme tribe, canadian producer the mole and the german post rock and electronic music band to rococo rot.

cd in 6-panel digipak printed in three pantone colours. featuring all-new material and recorded in the bands isolated studio on the edge of the essex marshes, the album ebbs and flows in mood like the nearby blackwater estuary. working with a palette of vintage drum machines, analogue synths, textural samples, acoustic recordings, electric bass & heavily treated guitar, the songs were born out of captured live studio performances.

from the golden beach of bali, goa and the balearics. this is beachclubbing,a heady, organic soundtrack of the very finest house music for a decidedly different clubbing experience. the alfresco party is nothing new. back when acid house was just a glint in the smiley faces eye, there was outdoor clubbing, a new and exciting expression of our primal urge to dance to a drum under the heavens. for centuries and even millennia, of course, tribal cultures around the world had been spinning wildly around fire, idol and one another without roof or shelter. in terms of pure, hedonistic, feel-good partying, there is nothing that quite compares to dancing with friends with the sun on your face and the sand between your toes. from the golden beaches of bali, goa or the balearics, this is beach clubbing, a heady, organic soundtrack of the very finest house music for a dedicatedly different outdoor clubbing experience.

seit 2003 haben sich plaid mit dem komponieren von soundtracks befasst, die ambitionierte audio-visuelle kollaboration -greedy baby- veršffentlicht, und sind Ÿberall auf der welt aufgetreten, u.a. lieferten sie eine glanzperformance anlŠsslich des warp20 jubilŠums ab. und sie tankten kraft und energie fŸr -scintilli-, ein werk, das sie handwerklich akkurat und konzentiert angingen, fŸr dessen umsetzung sie seit anfang 2009 umgerechnet einen tag pro beat brauchten. -dieser arbeitsintensive prozess garantiert langanhaltende musikstŸcke, die den ruhelosen spannungen standhalten, denen sie dank moderner wiedergabetechniken unterliegen,- so plaid. die cd erscheint im japanischen muda na mono puzzleformat, das man zu einer skulptur mit cd ausbauen kann, auf der dann, wenn richtig justiert, die tracknamen lesbar werden.

jeff mills once again indulges his passion for classic sci-fi with this 2cd re-imagining of the score to harry kleiner s titular 66 flick. it follows his -cyborg 2087- recreation and imaginary soundtracks for -the power- and -the occurence- with a deep voyage of discovery. but unlike the aforementioned, the original film plot - about a team of scientists who re miniaturized and dispatched inside a human body to fix a blood clot - thematic scales are inversed and we re drawn to mills inner, as opposed to outer, space-scapes. the action unfolds across 22 tracks and 2 cds, from bleepin, womb-like viscera and hazardous noise bursts through archetypal rhythm arrangements and fluid programming reflecting the man/machine, organic/synthesized themes of the film and his own alien/human aesthetic. it s wonderful to witness mills maturing as a composer and refining his art to something beyond a soundtrack for dancefloor rituals, but without ever losing his original blueprint, and showing that the line between cinematic imagination and dancefloor functions can be a very fine one.

mit death s prozession erscheint das vierte album der kalifornischen stoner-metal band saviours. nach crucifire (2006), into abaddon (2008) und accelerate living (2009) lassen es die saviours scheinbar etwas ruhiger angehen. strotzen die drei ersten alben nur so vor anleihen aus dem black,- doom,- und death-metal-bereich, besinnt man sich nun wieder auf seine wurzeln und laesst verstaerkt den stoner und doom-einfluss in den vordergrund treten. oder wie schlagzeuger scott batiste erklaert: -der haupteinfluss auf dem neuen album war, dahin zurueckzukehren, wo wir herkommen: black sabbath, iron maiden, motoerhead, thin lizzyÉ- trotzdem ist der sound immer noch unverkennbar der der saviours, roh, laut und scheppernd.

qwazaar & batsauce follow up their masterful style be the king ep (2011, fifth element/galapagos4) with a 14-track juggernaut entitled bat meets blaine. the record is an absolute rarity a series of inspired sessions from a world-class mc & producer team at the height of their respective powers. batsauce provides ambidextrous backdrops that are as multilayered as they are strident, while qwazaar simply astonishes, baring his soul while performing near-impossible lyrical feats. its a record all true heads should cop and that all lab scientists can envy.

finn enlisted burke reid to co-produce fomo after recognising him as a kindred spirit, and reid certainly challenged finns perceptions about what constituted a great record. the often confrontational collaborative process pushed finn to develop his sound and the resulting lp exudes raw energy.

gloss drop ist ein faszinierendes, hypnotisches album, das sich jeder kategorisierung & schneller analyse entzieht. der battles-sound vereint so unterschiedliche richtungen wie hardcore, tonaler minimalismus, neo-klassik, techno & post-rock. wŠhrend dance-acts wie chemical brothers oder massive attack regelmŠ§ig gastsŠnger einladen, sind battles der erste gro§e rock-act, der dies tut. ihre gŠsteliste ist beeindruckend: der pionier des dunklen synthie-pops gary numan im muskulšsen tribal-rhythmus, der chilenische techno-minimalist matias aguayo wird auf seine stimme reduziert, kult-indierockerin kazu makino (blonde redhead) mit zŸndendem dance-punk & yamantaka eye, messianischer dreadlocks-frontmann der japan-radikalkombo boredoms, betŠtigt sich als interstellarischer mc im schamanen-chant. es sind diese ŸberschŠumenden und unerwarteten momente, die battles von allen anderen zeitgenšssischen bands unterscheiden
