anouka started a year ago with her first sets on soundcloud and the response was incredible, building her fan base consistently. her debut ep traveller is released on soso, the label that she runs together with zusammenklang and oliver schories. the ep reflects what anouka always tries to express in her sets: showing that melancholy and happiness are very close together and they can work harmoniously. she recorded the vocals for both tracks by herself, which was challenging yet very rewarding. frequent traveller kicks things off nicely with its melancholic moodiness shining through as we meander effortlessly through berlin inspired melodies, while the sultry vocal sits wonderfully on top adding an extra layer of depth. christopher schwarzwalder is on remix duties, and from the off creates tension as this atmospheric rework subtly growls as it grooves. its sparseness is the key here, as this restrained gem works its magic. liberty is next as it tinkles away, creating a warm glow, and its caressed with its spoken french vocal, creating an air of sophistication. and rounding things off nicely is the midas 104 remix. this mystical touch up takes the energy levels up a notch, but increases the melancholy further and adding an air of just the right amount of wonkiness and quirkiness.

draft brings you the second installment of its vinyl series with ukranians very own tish. we are pleased to have her aboard. we hope you enjoy both tracks as much as we do.

having debuted on valcrond video label last year with the immured 12- under her familiar xosar alias, sheela rahman now returns to the platform for some shared make-believe with founder luke wyatt for new project body tools. taking a catalogue number as its title, this two track 12inch follows a succession of body tools radio broadcasts on berlin community radio and showcases a softer, more hypnotic side which in the case of lead track locusts & lions hits hard when the poignant piano makes its presence felt. brave channels a strange, modern kosmische vibe that will really hit the spot deep in the mix.

for the second release on her return to disorder label, helena hauff taps into the dark underbelly of the athens techno scene and presents the undoubted talents of greek producer morah. a resident at athens party phormix, morah has clearly been crafting his productions skills in private for some time as this three track 12inch is a powerful display of techno at its dankest. solution sets the tone, dipping into gnarled acid electro that seems to teeter on the brink of all out chaos with fellow a-side track take all similarly nasty. morah gets a chance to show his more experimental side with up in flames, a scorched exercise in freeform electronics with some particularly haunting vocals.

nice price deal !!! cymawax explores the far reaches of our sonic galaxy with its next 12 inch only release, an exciting seven song set from evocative uruguayan-norwegian vocalist camilla luna. camilla is known as one half of luna & bazis on wahwah45s, with producer friend bhlb, and as vocalist for trulz & robins releases on eskimo and dance disorder�s �metallic italic� (bpitch control). her years of improvising vocals with musicians and djs at renowned oslo clubs like blaa, jeager, and the villa have given camilla a knack for accompanying electronic rhythms with haunting, tuneful melodies. for the open up ep, camilla joins producer bhlb for soulful and raw vocals recorded in one take over futuristic, bass-heavy, and delightfully offbeat tracks. the styles and tempos vary wildly, but the sound throughout is unified in a deceptively organic ex machina woman-meets-machine vibe. in the title cut, the almost tribal percussion summons exotic, benevolent spirits when combined with camilla�s temptatious crooning. the twisted r&b of �wut r u gwonna do� could almost be a secret collaboration with the likes of flying lotus. and �f.o.c.- transmits a slightly intimidating techno stomp that would make all heads on the dance floor turn towards the dj and immediately take notice. these are just a few of the otherworldly audio nuggets found within the open up ep � there are more treasures to unveil. excavate soulfully.

norways finest purveyors of off-kilter, crystalline pop, soft as snow aka oda egjar starheim and oystein monsen, are back with a brand new release for houndstooth. the 4-track chrysali� ep is the duos second original release for the label, following their 2014 debut with the glass body ep and glass body remixed, a striking collection of reworked versions by lucy, gabe gurnsey of factory floor, maria minerva and brian degraw of gang gang dance.

limited to 100 copies hand-stamped 12 inch.return to disorder is the new label from hamburg producer and dj helena hauff, known for her dark brand of ebm and electro-infused music and without doubt one of the best selectors currently playing in clubs. the act responsible for the debut release from return to disorder is children of leir, a leicester-based psych rock outfit whose influences come from mystical horror. not the sort of music one would immediately associate with hauff s floor pummelling dj sets and a hint that return to disorder will be dictated by hauffs tastes as opposed to a need to satisfy the beat. the four tracks present here are a fine introduction to children of leir, with their feedback-laden sound perfectly enhanced by the mastering skills of pete sonic boom kember.

copehagen s music for dreams are very proud to present new swedish signing 55 cancri e (aka sara hausenkamp). born in 1989 in malmö, this talented musician/artist started out learning classical guitar as a child before playing keyboard in different bands in her teenage years/early 20s. in 2013 she moved to berlin and began playing keyboard/guitar/singing in electro duo �naftik�. as well as music, she also expresses herself through illustrations, collages, photos, writing, painting, fanzine-making etc. and studied at the school of comic art in malmö.�55 cancri e� is hausenkamp s solo project started in the summer of 2014, an amazing six track mini album of perfect night music from outer space, tunes covered in diamonds - a melting pot of sensitive guitars, crying synthesizers, barking flutes, mellow wine glasses, combined with gorgeous organ/melodica and haunting voices. the end result is a beautiful, melancholic and stunning debut drawing comparisons to artists such as this mortal coil and cocteau twins... limited vinyl with stunning original sleeve by the artist - definitely worth investigating.

where to now? records are proud to present beatrice dillons follow up release to the widely well received * blues dances*. this three track 12 inch sees beatrice step things up a gear in terms of intricacy, experimenting wildly to add to her already astute palette of timbre and rhythm. face a leads the record with the unmistakable skronk of saxophone cutting and jamming over the skeletal pulse of beatrices signature dubbed out techno landscape. initially the inclusion of saxophone acts as an aural abstraction or diversion to extract a little freedom from the pumping cavern of dark dub techno atmosphere punctuated with the mechanical juddering saw-bass, but as the piece develops and we become deep into the groove the inclusion of wild sax snorts trips us up and become the focus itself as new levels of complex melodic and rhythmic detail become apparent within this otherwise structurally obedient space. taking its cues from rabih beaini, miles davis * big fun* era, dresvn and keith hudson, undoubtably face a is a compelling, complex trip� heads down but arms flailing. face b continues the theme but takes the listener far deeper into the cavern. here the concern is more the effects of space within song, a moment where beatrice allows herself to move away from the floor to find a little more room for playful experimentation. the saxophone is further treated with a plethora of effects to compliment the array of dub signals that scatter and skip around the basin. the record closes with sonnier (walk in the light) which strangely somehow manages to feel jazzier in its components, even in comparison to a pair of tracks riffing on a manipulated free-jazz sax part. it sounds strangely unsure of its world, adding to this whole loosely slung, loping feel which somehow fits amongst the stern, brooding, and efficient synth play. beatrice masterfully manages to create a piece here that grows in intensity without ever increasing in pace or texture, every drop is intended to stir the listener a little more than the last. theres a sense throughout all the pieces of having rhythm imposed or even inflicted upon the listener but this is certainly not a conflict of ideas� there is optimism, harmony and above all - wild groove nestled within beatrices world of mutant shuffle.

�love will remember pharaon de winter� is said at the end of the record. pharaon de winter was a painter from north of france, who lived from the end of the xixth century to the beginning of the xxth century. today, pharaon de winter is reappearing again. it�s a band, but also the name of a song, which changed everything for his author. past leader of both bands toy fight and (please), maxime chamoux was playing since now a genre between north american rock of spoon and neutral milk hotel, and sophisticated british pop from prefab sprout or xtc. we find today in this new project songs navigating between french, for most part, and english. partners and friends since a long time, thomas pirot at the drums and raphael ankierman at the bass are playing alongside fx guéant-mata at the guitar. we also find mina tindle and her delicate voice appearing here and there. at last we don�t forget the goldsmith�s talent of canadian musician sandro perri who�s joining the band, highly recommended by pitchfork magazine with his album impossible spaces in 2011.
