limited repress! stomping grounds was never about riding the waves, but building things in a slow pace and mantaining the balance. since the very inception we have gone on to feature emerging talent as well as paying homage to scene established artists. this release is no different than the others, featuring v.i.c.a.r.i., discret popescu (aka crihan), jay bliss and some fresh blood from stav (aka inhere) and dragos ilici. all four cuts on the record are built around stripped-back and hypnotic grooves, sprinkled with melodic and sophisticated textures on top. as always, final touches are from berlins schnittstelle mastering.

reform is the first work by stave. the album is an exercise in precision and spacialization, with isolated electronics and icy beats producing a grisaille of vaporized metals. tracks move from disembodied murk and blunted pulses to sustained forcefulness. touch points include techno, ambient and industrial predecessors, all bent gravitationally towards a dark, cold and unsettling soundworld.
the vinyl lp includes a download code for the full album.

the first release on standards & practices since the widely acclaimed remixes of talker’s “battle standards” ep (by surgeon / regis / broken english club) from late last year, “live from frankfurter strasse” represents the first recorded collaborative effort from jonathan krohn (stave, also 1/2 of talker) and jan grebenstein (downwards, horo).
limited edition on white vinyl.

finally here we are with the fourth release on last drop records, signed by the london-based stavrogin. collectors takes a more subdued approach from his debut on australian label 3bs, focusing on ampdriven ambient textures and digital experimentation. sixty acres is a juddering mass of static textures and penetrative low end, forcing itself to a crumbled close. title track collectors is something like the afterglow. weary and destitute, the track stumbles through heatwave soaked atmospheres, fragmented voices stuttering like a malfunctioning android. are these actual miles? is perhaps the most direct, with its tremors of noise punctuated by a rhythmic pulse. this is a feature italian duo ichinen have capitalised on in their closing remix, reducing the track to a warbling, dead-eyed drum workout.

based in chicago, stave is the solo project of jonathan krohn. he also collaborates with karl meier under the name talker. jonathan, karl and ken meier also run the label standards & practices.

following the blistering inaugural release from talker comes the second release on the standards & practices imprint from label co-founder jonathan -stave- krohn, who returns with 5 tracks of dark, visceral electronic music for the discerning listener. -black hills- and -tasc us- kick off the proceedings in fine style – pummeling drums underpinning harsh blasts of noise and bleak, greyscale atmospherics, while -in/human- and -b5- on the flip take a different approach – 2 tracks not aimed at the dancefloor, but both retaining that cold, claustrophobic feel that characterizes much of stave s work. the brooding and sinister -stave 17- closes the ep, moving into exciting new territory with an intensely cinematic sound.

the fifth modern cathedrals release by altstadt echo seeks to exhume genuine, complex, and often contradictory human emotion from dead samples and broken beat structures. throughout the 1905 ep, the artist crafts melodies that embody a tension between nostalgia and frustration, supported by carefully textured and relatively functional percussion. the remix of dry despair by abdulla rashim (ar) strips the original of its lofty chords, instead pursuing a focused and bone-dry experimental techno approach. in contrast, the remix by stave combines elements of the original’s drifting atmosphere with violent industrial percussion.

this long awaited extended play return of stavrogin yields an unusually warm industrial landscape. delving deep into the soul of the machine, these pieces wrestle with the false techno obsession of industry whilst creating resonances that elicit eerie harmonies from the surrounding air.

uvb-76 music’s latest offering ushers in new blood to the camp in the form of stave. the chicago resident’s ‘atk’ ep sees the tempo submerge to lower depths and the pressure intensify amidst the harsh dynamics and sonic battery that the label is now synonymous for. a four track rhythmic cavort that plays the urge to dance and the allure of subversive nature.

the long awaited first release of stavroz on denature records has arrived! this 5-track ep starts with -zorrow-. this track sounds like an invitation to wander and get lost in the jungle. by the second track, perron 11 the tempo gets more vigorous opening the way to the main track kasambila and its enchanting ethnic vibes, on the other side of the ep, xs pls (pronounce it extra small please) has this unique instrumental groove that four-piece band masters so well. the ep ends with the title it was all a ruse , a melancholic ballad through mystical lands.

lmds first ever collaboration ep * echoes of paradise* by shaun soomro & mikael stavostrand gets reworked. legendary cult producer josh brent reworks * street code symphony* in classic schatrax esque style turning it into a beautiful timeless cut. it recalls his best works as schatrax - sparse, jacking, lush and dreamy with a sense of mystery created by a master crafts man who set the blueprint for this sound. shaun soomro’s re-vision of paradise lost takes things in a completely different direction also, but in heavyweight dub mode. drawing its groove from a mesmerising sub bass, shaun layers and recomposes from the first violin recording session & plays in new string segments that blossom and develop the more you listen, creating a epic symphonic dub masterpiece. one for the late night warriors! both artists turn out exceptional reworks primed for those special dance floor moments

ijsbrand & gert had always wanted to create balkan inspired music, and hence came the duo stavroz. their music is imprinted with original inspirations while keeping to a jazzy/burlesque influence. the bridge, so it seems, borderlines between minimal and jazz-house.

waking up in the middle of the night, feeling the gentle touch of moss on your bare skin and overwhelmed by the eery yet calming atmosphere of unknown surroundings. a location no one ever goes to, a destination unreachable by common means, but a place blurring the lines between having a dream and a state of mind. welcome to talabout. stavroz managed to create a wholesome, comforting soundtrack for a place, which no words can describe. take a rest, lay down, close your eyes and listen to a story told in an orchestral fashion, with such profession and ear for details like luise never heard before. we are deeply impressed and thankful alike to be able to present this musical masterpiece. a heartly welcome to stavroz, everyone.

falling ethics label owner p.e.a.r.l. uses the 8th installment in his fex series to come up with a remix ep that includes the some of the most exciting names techno has to to offer at this very moment. a great 12” that includes remixes from man of the moment tensal, berlin based phase fatale and stave (member of talker).

special warehouse find original pressing. only 160 units available. classic and essential killer record from mikael stavostrand. played by ricardo villalobos, dixon, raresh ... lick my deck is run by shaun soomro and matt jolley. pushing boundaries and developing the sound, a label focused on releasing intelligent and provocative electronic music. die a little starts of with a groove that wont let you go building into 4/4 drive, katous vocals set off the track with a real warmth but with a dark edge behind them. dark eyes has a sexy dirty feel to it. a thrusting bass line and obsessive vocals that hypnotize you into a deeper engagement

repitch recordings is pleased to present three new tracks from chicagos stave (j. krohn). *after the social* follows an ep on the irish imprint rensmat and lp on chicago based fss. the new ep continues exercises in foundsound, distortion, and repetition, *after the social* introduces a new challenge to the growing stave catalogue. in the same vein as his work with downwards recording duo talker, krohn continues with the drenched dark tones and distorted drums with this repitch release. influences of punk, metal, noise, detroit techno and ambient all combine to form an uneasy mix of melody and rhythm. the legendary downwards boss karl o connor offers a brilliant mix of *hardened chord* — using the original to create a 4/4 path of destruction.

words spoken in another land and in another time echo through mikaels record. before the light of morning shines over his world he sings songs without words, madrigals for the petulant synths and austere drums, in an effort to stall out the first rays of the sun for just one more moment.
