the gooiland elektro compilation “unruhe” is a showcase of contemporary acid techno… spacey and trippy in the hands of zarkoff and distorted and freaked out by roberto auser… but also rather industrial when done by foql or pushed to the extreme by the untitled… this is acid as it should sound… edgy and daring tracks for illuminated heads instead of easy and boring sounds suitable for the masses… and as with all gooiland elektro releases this one is equally intense on the dance floor as with headphone playback.

the sadly departed jaki liebezeit was the kind of drummer whose influence will be continually recognised over the decades to come. best known for his work in can, there are also many more sides to this singular sticksman, and emotional rescue has chosen to shine a light on his post-can period living in stollwerck. on the a side of this 7inch curio is the sound of phantom band with linear johnson & the protons. rush rush has a spiky new wave bent to it, but still liebezeit s drumming stands out. the b side drums off chaos need little explanation its the sound of one of the all-time drumming greats letting rip in a ferocious blast of percussive abandon.

critical music reaches its 100th release in its 15th year, celebrating with the landmark album fifteen years of underground sonics. spanning the broad spectrum of drum & bass that the critical sound represents, the exceptional 15 album is as bold as it is beautiful and looks to serve the test of time in the d&b history books.

subosc is back with the second chapter of the “organic elements” series dedicated to techno music characterized by refined ambient aesthetics. the ep includes contributions from kessell (polegroup, granulart), hiroaki iizuka (known for his works on coda records, nheoma and his appereance on tresor), drafted (soma, balans, mmaudio) and ben buitendijk (field records, oblique, mosaic).
although the tracks are clearly aimed for the dancefloor, they are also perfect for intimate listening, since the modeling approach used considers a balance between the sharpness and effectiveness of traditional techno elements with the mellowness of dreamy textures, pads and atmospheres. inspiring, mind wandering, intense and analog souding are the most suitable adjectives to descrive these compositions, in which the mixture of influences from four minds blends in a unique outcome. a must have for all the collectors and lovers of modern techno with a soul attitude.

when tresor founder dimitri hegemann stumbled into a former bank vault in east berlin on march 13th 1991, he had little idea that the space he had unlocked would fast become one of berlin s most influential and enduring techno clubs. “we didn’t know what would happen 10 months later,” he says. “we signed a lease for a year. which eventually got renewed for another three months, and another three months…”
as tresor celebrates its 25th anniversary with this work of artists from the us, germany, china, france, austria, italy and the uk, it is worth dwelling on how the cultural conditions that birthed detroit techno – economic neglect and broken industry – were mirrored by the disused bunkers and impromptu parties of post-unification east berlin, where techno found new, vigorous expression.
the triple vinyl release includes a download code.

“fleischberg” is the 2nd vinyl iteration of berlin’s body focused fleisch collective, following hot on the heels of last year’s highly acclaimed release by schwefelgelb. this 12” starts with a relentless six and a half minute assault by australian native and berlin based halv drøm, a fitting vinyl debut for the talented producer. dsx follows up with a finely tuned ebm track tactfully layered with obscure vocal samples and paired with piercing, frenetic drum programming.
the b side starts with a slightly different approach, recalling a more classic techno and electro tone without losing sight of the release’s progressive focus, privacy’s catchy “work” recalls late 80s chicago masterpieces without becoming overly nostalgic. sekunde rounds out the compilation fully with a plodding and minimal piece that would be best appreciated while being blasted driving 300 km/h down a moonlit back road somewhere in the black forest.

with its debut release, sure cuts limited, french house music label, offers a selection of 4 underground tracks, -d-track- quality chicago house with a touch of acid by lotche, -dona fonda- groovy disco track & pumpin vocal by julien guzz, -lost in okabore kingdom- raw material with disco loop, cut for the club by keedo and -smooth à souhait- deep, jazzy & raw at the same time, the subtle blend by hatelate.

based in california, banana stand sound has been wrecking expectations and setting forth new musical streams consistently for two years now. its discography is a diverse display of tribal stompers, melodic groove spectacles and everything in between, which excites the labels unarguably exquisite taste. over the years theyve gained steady advocacy from institutions such as fatkidonfire and trusik among others, as well as by a long list of highly esteemed djs and producers from the likes of j:kenzo, benga, compa, skream and joe nice.

another year, and another birthday has come for steyoyoke. this year marks our 5th anniversary, and as such we would like to present our 5th anniversary compilation, filled with unique remixes and new faces on the steyoyoke map.

dixon strikes back on philomena. the 13th edition of the vinyl only series brings two emotional edits by the maestro himself.

on the this latest release from power vacuum, a motley selection of inmates gather once more to deliver a new seminar on the mechanics of meltdown. beyond the zone of fruitless intensity lies ever more exhaustive trailer park visionaries blasting out wreck beats, a sound futuristic yet primitive like a turbo charged shire horse. peering through the heavily worked over fug, we sift through the transphonic ashes of technos blast furnace to retrieve these molten ingots and sling them into a disenfranchised cassette player

originally founded by kisk back in 2009 apparel music set out to offer something truly singular in focusing their musical output predominately on jazz whilst venturing into its integration across the landscape of electronic music at the time.with a zealous release schedule, they racked up a healthy collection of eps between 2010-2015 from artists such as delano smith, scsi-9, sarp yilmaz and the label owner himself amongst many others. now after a year-long hiatus, the label makes a return with a slick 4-track va that fans both old and new will relish. strictly limited to a pressing of 200 on 180 grams of wax, their re-launch brings with it a jazz-suffused 4-track record featuring voyeur, ivano tetelepta & eugeÌne latumeten, kisk and kerem akdag. voyeurs swinging for theo kicks things off with organic, brushed drums and a walking bass line set off to a tight, swaying rhythm. glassy rhodes keys bleed into the mix ahead of piano stabs and 909 hats that propel progress when combined with a thickened low-end. ivano tetelepta & eugeine latumeten follow up with je suis reconnaissant a bass-heavy groove that lays soulful vocal samples over filtered piano chords and loose-limbed hat patterns. kisks just u then drives a crackly drum loop through distant, flexing synth tones. arresting vocal samples then take the foreground in a rich, smokey mix before istanbuls kerem akdags closes up the package. akin to the styles of producers such as henry wu and max graef, akdags friend melds playful drum patterns with thick chord stabs and smooth vocal lines that wrap up a stellar return for apparel music.

waxtefacts returns with another raw joint! real d and interstate are warming up with some sunny vibes while strip steve builds it up with some metallic hihats and passes it to dj storch - who create a royal ending on the b-side. another record which is yet to be loved.

78crew repress... one of the most wanted record from dsp. with also on b side a superb tune from jesse and rodolphe from the insomniak crew. 78 is a french department (mantes la jolie power!), and thatr ecord was made by 32 artoists from this department. that was the main subject. nice souvenirs with this one.
