auf -ennanga vision- begleiten wir den londoner produzenten jesse hacke (owiny sigoma band, elmore judd, gorillaz) auf einer klangreise, die uns von der englischen kapitale nach uganda führt, und damit von der hauptstadt des pop mitten ins herz von afrika. co-steuermann und erster kollaborateur von hacke ist der ugandische sänger und multiinstrumentalist albert ssempeke. bei ihrer eigenwilligen, um nicht zu sagen abenteuerlichen unternehmung erhalten die beiden beistand durch eine reihe von gastsängern aus dem norden ugandas, die unter der dortigen bevölkerung einen legendären ruf genießen. damit setzt sich die formation aus einer runde von experten zusammen, welche die dj-ikone gilles -acid jazz- peterson zu den worten -one of the finest musicians, thinkers and world selectors in the uk- hinriss. sie sorgen für einen hypnotischen sound, der traditionelle ugandische folk-musik mit aktuellem pop der westlichen hemisphäre zu einem organischen ganzen verschmilzt. dabei findet die einsaitige, für afrika so typische geige genauso ihren platz wie eine 200 jahre alte mundharmonika. für das infektiöse klangbild bestimmend sind jedoch in erster linie elektronische instrumente aller art sowie parallel gespielte xylophone.

nach sechs mixtapes, drei eps, zwei büchern sowie seinem debütalbum “loop up” (2015) veröffentlicht us-rapper mod sun aus minnesota nun den nachfolger “movie” mit features von d.r.a.m, maty noyes, blackbear, gnash, dej loaf, rich the kid und mansionz (mike posner & blackbear).

für das 13. album haben sich the charlatans tatkräftige unterstützung von freunden und namhaften musikern geholt. so beteiligten sich neben dem ehemaligen the verve-drummer pete salisbury, anton newcombe von the brian jonestown massacre und stephen morris (new order), der bereits beim vorgängeralbum “modern nature” (2015) dabei war, auch johnny marr von the smiths an den aufnahmen der songs. schriftsteller ian rankin und lampchops kurt wagner lieferten spoken word-passagen für die songs “future tense” und “the forgotten one”, und die schriftstellerin/schauspielerin sharon horgan den hintergrundgesang zum track “different days”. das albumfinale “spinning out” bestreitet sänger tim burgess zusammen mit paul weller.

opening the ep, black magic sets an optimistic tone for what is to come from this new label. intoxicatingly hypnotic and full of warmth, this track reminds us that it is always summer somewhere. if black magic is essential in warming a party up, god bless atheism is the perfect way to bring us softly down on the other side. a modern balearic anthem in the waiting, this is best enjoyed looking out to new horizons. b1 street sunbath sees ponty exploring more-techy territory whilst still retaining the hopeful feeling that forms the backbone of this ep. closing the ep, hidden object has a strong tribal feel which hooks the listener. using vocal chanting samples and simple repetitive melody lines, this is a perfect example of how less is often more in connecting with the dancefloor.

first word enters 2017 with a bang: a 28-track album courtesy of eric lau. this, his third instrumental album, is a veritable tapestry of vibes, ranging through hip hop, soul, jazz, funk & brazilian beats. a mere taste into the genius production skills of london’s mr. lau, it’s easy to understand why he’s so revered by djs, artists and producers across the world, including rich medina, 9th wonder, bobbito, dam funk, gilles peterson, james poyser (the roots), phonte and ali shaheed muhammad (a tribe called quest), amongst others.

ursprünglich aus experimenten mit dreidimensionalen aufnahmetechniken entstanden, und als zwei einzelne, jedoch miteinander verbundene teile konstruiert, ist the ship gleichermaßen eine musikalische neuheit, wie ein traditionelles album. eno bringt auf diesem album wunderschöne songs mit minimalistischer atmosphäre, physischer elektronik mit einer allwissenden erzählung und technischer innovation zu einer einzigen, cineastischen suite zusammen. das resultat ist das beste musikalische werk von eno, ein album ohne vergleich in seinem bisherigen musikalischen katalog. der titeltrack und opener ist eine 21-minütige, zyklisch gesungene ode an das meer, voller dramatik, klangfetzen entfernter stimmen und bedrohlicher electronica. es folgt das dreiteilige werk -fickle sun-, dessen finale, ein cover des von lou reed geschriebenen velvet underground-songs -i m set free-, gleichzeitig das album abschliesst.
erscheint als schwarzes doppel-vinyl im gatefold cover, mit bedruckten innentaschen, inklusive downloadcode und 4 x 300x300mm kunstdrucken.

black vinyl edition.

where the river turns black, is the first international album by copenhagenresident and musician katrine ottosen aka call me kat. call me kat are adorably intense and mesmerizing songs, an enchanting melancholic, almost translucent drift into this sonic world best described as alternative pop, music that gives spoken word of the ever expanding danish music scene of now. songs that adapt a fine line between organic instrumentation and that very specific sound of her voice, which although completely its own tends to remind at times on other playful ladies in music like bjørk, feist oder lykke li.earlier works with reknown producers valgeir sigurdsson (bjørk, mum, sigur rós etc.) or joe magistro (prophet omega) on the current album have certainly had their share on this.

the black dog are a legendary live act whose ability to destroy venues and wreck soundsystems is undeniable. they blur the boundaries between djing and performance while possessing an excellent sense of where to take the crowd. live, they represent purist techno, which is also utterly crowd pleasing. on record, tbd are famous for delivering subtlety, emotion, and intellectual richness, as well as great tunes, but never in their career have they managed to convey the sheer visceral impact of their performances as on liber dogma. this album contrasts with last years extremely well-received ambient outings on music for real airports and the dadavistic orkestra collaboration with members of the psychick warriors of gaia. while none of the bands artistry and care has been lost, there is now a greater focus on a pure, and utterly exhilarating, vision of how techno can transform the dancefloor into a realm of complete pleasure.

this debut album, mysterious intrigue, truly marks kubas place in the electronic dance world. 9 cuts representing the realm of the deep & the divine. with perfect production for open air festivals, warehouse parties, or big club floors, you are guaranteed to move your feet & feel the bass.

as house continues to take its stronghold over techno, even in berlin the epicentre of all things minimal, we gear up for a summer of ‘actual’ dancing over regimented arm pumping and head nodding. having impressed laurent garnier, m.a.n.dy, solumun, karotte, tg (tim green) and ellen alien last year with his collaboration with enzo elia, martin patiño caught the attention of true to form with his fresh, playful approach to house and techno and hypnotic percussive elements .born in italy, but with south american roots and now living in berlin, you can hear vibrant audio recollections seeping onto every groove. citing dali’s surrealist paintings as another creative reference (a nod to which is contained in the track title ‘the tempation’), you could say martin draws on the atypical compared to your average electronic producer.the result is the blissful simplicity of ‘sundays’ on the a side, percussive, sundrenched and a perfect am terrace lifter.on the flip side is peak time tech house groover ‘the temptation’ and a hypnotic, dub heavy remix of black dahlia (the original of which will appear on the digital only release) produced with long term cohort enzo elia. true to form, now in its 5th year, showcases tracks and remixes from such respected producers as pan pot, gavin herlihy, jesse rose, samim, pascal foes, mikael weil, justin maxwell, claude von stroke, subjekt, tom ellis, leif and more
