dear human survivors,Ê while the story of grounded in humanity is coming closer to its glorious end - there will be 3 more releases before the final showdown of humanity vs. human clones - the birth of our spin-off label human insurgents is taking shape. the first chapter, a 11-track album, is written and told by phat lord - who is also known as leader of the human resistance, trying to put an end to the brutal regency of the clones. phat lord is a true legend of the underground and his origin and location are totally unknown, even for the largest part of the resistance. some say he may even be a clone himselfÉ. the album is a sonic trip through various mental states and dystopic landscapes. it is a result of 8 years moving below the surface and often in the dark, to avoid discovery. he worked with simple, analog methods, focusing on the true essence of sound. we recommend a setting that allows for deep listening and proper bass support.Ê

Òblaze awayÓ, their positivity-packed ninth album, marks both a fresh start in its organic approach and a return to the joyous genre-mashing of their early days, with featured guests roots manuva and benjamin biolay. there was no template for its ten, extraordinary, future-facing songs, no self-imposed limits on style, no themes to be adhered to or rules in place to break.

Ôlillygood party!Õ is the brand new bbe compilation from highly respected swiss dj alex attias. taking its name from a party he runs in his native lausanne, lillygood has gradually evolved into a radio show and even a label, now on its 4th release. refecting the music he plays at the clubnight, Ôlillygood party!Õ is packed with funk, disco, deep house and boogie bullets from across the globe. Òthe idea is to present not only rare or difcult tracks to fnd, simply good grooves for people to play out, or listen to at home.Ó
from rare japanese disco gems, through spiritual jazz, to genre defying sounds from broken-beat cohorts kaidi tatham and dego, Ôlillygood party!Õ takes a unique trip inside the musical mind of one of dance musicÕs true nonconformists.
alex attias got his start in back in Õ88 playing funk, house, jazz, and disco, as well as producing under various monikers such as mustang, freedom soundz or beatless. moving to london in Õ97 he started his ÔvisionsÕ label and found himself at the epicentre of the emerging west london Ôbroken beatÕ scene which grew around his studio at goya. releases on people, planet e, ubiquity, neroli, archive and compost followed, as well as remixes for incognito, 4hero, ennio morricone, sun ra, art blakey, roni size and laurent garnier among others.

alienus presents a new compilation comprising new and not so new faces on our beloved planet earth. this time, we would like to emphasize that truth is beyond consciousness and consciousness implies duality. consciousness would imply that one is conscious of the truth, hence separate from the truth. some wise humans reckon no one can know the truth, but can be in the truth. music wise, you will find some warm tones that evoke deep and ethereal feelings in the listener. it took us some time to pick specimens capable of delivering these highly sought-after emotions.

like all dj koze records, knock knock exists outside of trend and influence. in fact, it s a step further beyond: absolutely every single thing here, from grooves to voices to handclaps, is otherworldly and unique. which is not to say it is utterly alien abstraction, mind. there is still disco, there is still soul, there is still techno, there is still hip hop, there is still psychedelia Ð there are even wafts of easy listening, lost crackly thriftstore record memories and... sort of... indie rock Ð but though it may sound familiar, it never does what your brain thinks it s going to do.

for their first multi-artist compilation, music from memory take us on a trip to the heart of the amazon rainforest. outro tempo: electronic and contemporary music from brazil, 1978-1992 is a double lp that explores the outer reaches of brazilian music, where indigenous rhythms mix with synthesizers and where mpb mingles with drum computers. as brazil faced the last years of its military dictatorship and transition to democracy, a generation of forward-thinking musicians developed an alternative vision of brazilian music and culture. they embraced traditionally shunned electronic production methods and infused their music with elements of ambient, jazz-fusion, and minimalism. at the same time they referenced the musical forms and spirituality of indigenous tribes from the amazon. the music they produced was a complex and mesmerising tapestry that vividly evoked brazilian landscapes and simultaneously reached out to the world beyond its borders.

langeweile. faulheit. totale teilnahmslosigkeit. ist es nun schon eine so genannte quarter life crisis oder einfach nur eine ausrede, um blo§ nie erwachsen werden zu mŸssen? fragen wie diese, sind die eckpunkte jener welt, in die washed out mit seinem ambitionierten neuen visual-album mister mellow aufbricht. fŸr viele, viele vertreter der generation y ist das leben derma§en dramatisch und problematisch, dass es mithin schon absurde zŸge annimmt. und die methoden, mit denen sie sich von den ganzen unsicherheiten und unwŠgbarkeiten abzulenken versuchen, die zu ihrem alltag gehšren, sind dabei nicht weniger absurd - da ist alles von social media bis hin zu fantasywelten dabei, von drogenexzessen bis zu musik-eskapismus. mister mellow, das erste komplett als multimedia-werk angelegte album von washed out, fŸhrt durch all die hšhen und tiefen dieser oftmals lŠcherlichen alltagskŠmpfe und beleuchtet dabei augenzwinkernd auch das gro§e paradox, dem man immer wieder begegnet: wie kann es sein, dass wir derma§en unzufrieden und gelangweilt sind, wo wir doch eigentlich alle erdenklichen privilegien genie§en und somit mehr als zufrieden sein kšnnten? auf -mister mellow- dominieren eher experimentelle collage-techniken ˆ la musique concrte. free jazz, house, hip-hop und psychedelic haben allesamt ihren platz in dieser welt, in der auch interlude-artige voiceover-samples aufblitzen, woraus sich insgesamt ein hektisch-chaotischer und karikaturistischer mix ergibt, in dem sich die reizŸberflutete psyche dieser generation widerspiegelt.

rundum-sorglos-groove-paket zum zurŸcklehnen und genie§en. re-release von 2000. sei es mit peter kruder als kruder & dorfmeister oder rupert huber als tosca, wenn richard dorfmeister seine finger im spiel bzw. an den reglern hat, darf man sich auf entspannt-fluffige klŠnge zwischen trip-hop, dub und downtempo einrichten. tosca wurde 1994 gegrŸndet, erstaunlicherweise schon kurz nach dem start von k&d. ihr debŸt gaben tosca 1997 mit -opera-. dessen nachfolger -suzuki- kam im jahr 2000 in die lŠden. beide alben erschienen bei !k7 und g-stone, dem label von peter kruder und richard dorfmeister. -suzuki- hat nichts mit kleinen japanischen autos oder monsterbikes zu tun, vielmehr versteht sich die veršffentlichung als hommage an den zen-meister shunryu suzuki. das album enthŠlt in der cd-version zwšlf und in der vinyl-ausgabe neun instrumentaltracks, in die vocal-samples instrumentenartig eingeflochten wurden. vielen fans des šsterreichischen duos gilt -suzuki- mit seinen -hypnotic, deeply chilled-out epics- (allmusic) als dessen beste einspielung. die neuauflage von -suzuki- ist die erste seit 2000.
