lerosa is dublin-based italian producer leopoldo rosa. the title track ruski combines a rough-cut sampled break with a loose, minimal arrangement of sub-bass and liquid synth pads. on the flip, russell and tempio are deep, moody house explorations, beautifully suspended by shifting sine wave pads and rhodes-like chords. born in rome, leo developed a love of electronic music through italian pop music of the 1980s, before discovering hip hop and acid house. he began djing in the early 90s and in 1995 moved to dublin where he got heavily into darker, deeper electronica and electro by the likes of autechre, drexciya and the extended detroit-inspired musical underworld. leo began producing his own music in 2000, concentrating initially on electro but broadening his range into unconventional house and techno styles. his debut lerosa release was the ‘maike ep’ on dublin’s d1 recordings in 2005. as well as this real soon release, leo also has a forthcoming 12inch on enclave recordings (ireland)

timeless surgeon tech with remixes by autechre & disinvectant

the restart of the legendary evolution/universal language label! the first 3 mind blowing releases (re-mastered) and presented as a limited 3x12 package (the reload ep, the autoreload ep and the biosphere ep). mark pritchard and tom middleton released in the early 90s some highly limited records on their evolution label which later became universal language. all records were groundbreaking releases and tom and mark continued to produce many great records as reload, global communications, jedi knights, harmonic 33 and several other projects. these 3 records represent the beginning of the electronica movement which they started with like minded artist such as aphex twin, the black dog, autechre and some others. deep raw and forward thinking techno in the same style as aphex twins early releases, as one or balil. mark and tom were strongly influenced by derrick may, juan atkins, carl craig, kraftwerk, mike dunn and richie hawtin to name a few and they produced some amazing records which still are not outdated almost 15 years after their original release. among their fans of their releases is a huge list of big names who all recognized the quality of the music made by these two guys. this is a great package with all three of the ultra rare original releases together. must have

obsidian lŠsst raum fŸr melodie zwischen den kicks und snares und šffnet sich dem hšrer in einem traumŠhnlichen gefilde. damage verzichtet dabei eher auf rohe beats, tracks wie cosmonaut, parallax view und transmission liefern aber mit sicherer schlagkraft einen adrenalinschub. es sind jedoch die sphŠrischen titel wie pulse width und poly, das acid-angehauchte tetrapod und das gro§artige shimmer, mit denen sich der kŸnstler tiefer in das unbekannte wagt. man fŸhlt sich an die genialitŠt von afx, skam und autechre erinnert. obsidian zeichnet sich durch ein zusammenspiel aus wŠrme, herz, seele und viel, viel schwei§ aus und zeichnet somit ein perfektes bild und ein grandioses finale fŸr das label.

an album with a high crossover appeal. maybe best described with kate bush meets autechre.

deep, dramatic, abstracted d&b from exits most esoteric operator, consequence. test dream is an advanced follow-up to the burial-esque scapes of his 2009 debut, live for never, scanning sci-fi inspired minimal d&b topographies with a filigree attention to detail. ultimately, its not the kind of d&b thatll have you firing shots in the ceiling: its strengths lie in the vivid evocation of dystopian futures and plugged-in, cyber-surreal dream states, conducted with the ability to suspend disbelief and submerge the willing participant in a whole other headspace. that said, there are dancefloor-ready moments like the sinuous, sub-heavy soul sees spirit, but the best moments occur when the dancefloor seems to be receding beneath your feet / sofa, as with the whirring autechre-ian dynamics of magda trench and the majestic loveshell, or the flickering, skeletal remains of marlo.

dispel dances die meinungsmacher vom britischen fact mag schrieben einmal: -wir wissen nicht viel ueber anstam. niemand tut das. das ist teil des besonderen.- anstam waren einmal ein duo, bestehend aus zwei bruedern. jetzt ist anstam eine one man-show eines medienkunsstudenten aus berlin. noch als duo haben sie eine legendaere underground 12 inch serie veroeffentlicht, die ueber den berliner kultplattenladen hardwax vertrieben wurde. diese vinyltrilogie wurde in hoechsten toenen gelobt und mit den technoiden autechre im post industrial dubstepkleid umschrieben. nach einer zweijaehrigen pause begann anstam in diesem jahr - als solo act - auf 50 weapons mit neuer musik erneut aufmerksamkeit zu erregen. nicht zuletzt auch die von radiohead saenger thom yorke, der kurzerhand anstam tracks chartete, im radio spielte, was kuerzlich auch in einem anstam remix fuer radiohead gipfelte. anstam wei§ auch als live act zu ueberzeugen, wie z.b. hierzulande beim melt! festival. -dispel dances-, das ueberfaellige debuetalbum, wird in den kommenden monaten auf zahlreichen weiteren gigs live praesentiert.
