the prodig s seventh studio album, no tourists will be released on their take me to the hospital label via bmg. in a career approaching 30 unpredictable, uncompromising years, the prodigy have become that rare artist whose influence can be felt across all walks of life. continually defining (and re-defining) electronic music, the band have clocked up a staggering 6 number 1 albums, played to many millions around the world, and remain as relevant and respected as ever. though much has changed in the musical and social landscape, what remains a constant is the prodigy s resolute focus on following their own path, their own way. this, perhaps, is the true meaning of no tourists , and in 2018 the anger, urgency, and irrepressible spirit of the prodigy has no doubt never been more needed

a leading figure of the contemporary electronic world, jamie odell aka jimpster sets his sights firmly back on the album format with this beautifully crafted long-player, silent stars. a self-confessed creature of the night, the freerange records and delusions of grandeur boss taps into his nocturnal and escapist impulses to deliver a superbly executed modern-day fusion album. his seventh studio album and first since 2013Õs highly-acclaimed porchlight and rocking chairs, this is an album dedicated to the nocturnal hours. silent stars is a richly textured ride through the tapestry of house, from jazz-infused opener ÔmigrationsÕ through to the dense, orchestral euphoria of Ôtau tonaÕ and the minimal, percussive bounce of title track Ôsilent starsÕ. the listener edges a touch closer to the dancefloor on tracks like ÔyansaÕ and Ôpower of the doofÕ - yet the grooves stay subtle with intricate percussion, dense sound design and a mischievous streak being palpable throughout. a range of guests are welcomed by jimpster across silent stars. hotly-tipped londoner florence rawlings adds her vocals on ÔcraveÕ and ÔeverytimeÕ. past collaborator and member of kirk degiorgioÕs the beauty room, jinadu weaves emotional soul on album centerpiece Ôthe sun comes upÕ. khalil anthony lends his vocals on Ôwhere you areÕ and leading session drummer andy gangadeen (massive attack, chase & status, the bays) lays down his immense beats on Ôtau tonaÕ. jimpster is a true veteran of the global house scene, a custodian of the authentic deep house sound and a producer who has quietly created some of the most reflective and sophisticated electronic music

over the years, berlin has been cited as oliver koletzkiÕs main point of reference and, more importantly, his endless source of inspiration. his albums gro§stadtmŠrchen and gro§stadtmŠrchen 2 are wholehearted tributes of the german capital, as its importance is continuously hinted and charted. friedrichshain, one of berlinÕs vibrant districts, has always held a special place in oliverÕs heart. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. kreuzbergÕs wall paintings adorn stil vor talent Õs cover sleeves and host their headquarters. there are little to no corners in the city that havenÕt brought a spark of inspiration into the mix. the schneeweiss compilation series, now at its seventh installment, is built as a form of tribute to all these particles, tied in together into a series of carefully curated tracks. each compilation stands at the intersection of the musical and cultural surroundings most prominent of their respective times, acting both as a reminder as well as a timeless sound capsule for the years to come.

stranger things- ist eine neue netflix-tv-serie, die gerade in deutschland gestartet ist und international gro§e wellen schlŠgt. die mystery-serie bietet jede menge referenzen an die 80er jahre, vergleiche zu steven spielberg und stephen king werden gerne gezogen. nicht weniger im fokus: der kongeniale soundtrack von kyle dixon & michael stein. von atmosphŠrischen stŸcken bis hin zu treibenden synthie-pop reicht das musikalische spektrum. hier wird gerne eine parallele zu dem score von -drive- gezogen, wohl einem der ikonografischsten soundtracks der letzten jahre. der zweite teil des kult-soundtracks knŸpft musikalisch nahtlos an seinen vorgŠnger an und bietet abermals synth heavy soundscapes in der tradition so gro§artiger filmkomponisten wie vangelis, john carpenter oder cliff martinez. die cd erscheint im digipak.

* this is the seventh surgeon album.
* -while exploring new production techniques using old and unlikely hardware, the results were so unusual that i really had the sense that these pieces of equipment didn t actually create these sounds, rather they were in fact some kind of elaborate reception device that allowed me to tune into transmissions from distant galaxies. the music i could hear was actually the received transmissions of pop hits from those distant galaxies that were being played on their radio stations. i quickly recorded all that i could before losing the transmission.
* i consulted with dr andrew read, the astrophysicist with whom i recorded guitar treatments in 1999. he has worked on the discovery of the most distant galaxies and astronomical objects in the universe. together we came up with a possible list of where these musical transmissions may have come from.

august darnells swaggering alter ego kid creole dons his famed fedora and gets back in stride with his first high profile studio album in over 10 years: i wake up screaming. darnell first came to prominence during the mid-70s in new york, forming dr. buzzards original savannah band with his brother stony browder before producing a slew of eccentric projects for ze records including cristina, don armandos seventh avenue rumba band and gichy dan, as well as sporting his trademark zoot suit and fedora for the first time for the debut recordings by kid creole & the coconuts. signing on to chris blackwells island records and seymour steins sire imprint, darnell would become one of the 80s most unique and recognisable figures, scoring a brace of unforgettable chart hits mixing heavyweight tropical grooves with plenty of lyrical bite: -stool pigeon-, -annie, im not your daddy-, -im a wonderful thing baby- and more. with cover artwork echoing his love of 1940s film noir, this album explores the vibrant mind of darnell with a variety of themes and styles. recorded at darnells own studio in sweden and mixed by brennan green (chinatown recordings), i wake up screaming is an essential return from one of the truly unique characters in the world of music.

you can forgive a band who set out to create something even just a little bit different and get it horrendously wrong, but its tough to have sympathy for a band who shy away from the challenge altogether. such was the case with autokratz on their first album, animal, which, apart from a passable opening track, consisted of a series of bland electronic pastiches Ð dance music that conversely made the listener want to sit and wait it out. that didnt stop the hype building around the duo, though, thanks in no small part to the fact that the album was released through in-vogue french label kitsunŽ music. the confusing positivity surrounding the lp suggesting, perhaps, that style overcomes substance once a record company has received the hipster seal of approval.this time around, however, kitsune has stepped aside, with autokratz releasing the follow-up on their own label, bad life. but has the sense of responsibility that surely comes with this step made them re-evaluate their direction? has it inspired them to inject a much-needed shot of creativity into their work? not a hope. if anything, autokratz descend even further into mediocrity on self help for beginners. once again, their best tunes are loaded towards the front of the album, starting with the lead single, -opposite of love. its far from outstanding, helped in no small part by the terribly contrived lyrics, but does possess a catchy synth melody Ð enough to earn it a place on club playlists, at least. its a similar story with -becoming the wraith, which has peter hook on hand to deliver an overtly new order-esque bassline. beyond that, however, the quality dips dramatically. tracks like -the seventh seal and -r.i.s.e. are typical of the selection on offer, underwhelmingly vapid, derivative tunes which show up a disappointing, but not totally unexpected, scarcity of guile on the part of their creators.where autokratz do excel is as producers Ð a quality evident not only in their own work, but also in their remixes for other artists. unfortunately, this only serves to exacerbate their deficiencies on the other side of the control room desk. ultimately it may mean that, having failed to address the shortcomings of their debut, autokratz will be fated to be filed under -also rans in the annals of music history. thats assuming, of course, that someone out there will actually remember them at all.
