tm404 presents his new ep on kontra musik

a-ton is proud to announce panama / suez, the first ep by trio oren ambarchi, konrad sprenger and phillip sollmann (aka efdemin). the three multi-instrumentalists collaborated with the goal of creating subtly shifting musical passageways: sonic routes that run between continents of musical category. the results are two variations of kraut-y, groove-based post-techno that unfurl through mutating polyrhythms and chiming, ethereal guitar play – a rare moment of guitar and techno in deep embrace. with a potential to sustain energy on experimental dancefloors, panama / suez lives from ambarchi, sprenger and sollmann’s diverse input while reflecting a common penchant for both pop and the hypnotic.

in 1978, famed latin jazz percussionist willie bobo released a promo-only 12” single featuring a “special disco version” of “always there”, a cut from his most recent album hell of an act to follow. pressed in extremely limited quantities and never available commercially, this 12” quickly became a highly sought-after rarity for djs and collectors. now, this lost treasure is back in print while supplies last, complete with an exclusive a new multitrack edit of “always there” from dj / crate-digger extraordinaire kon (bbe / soul clap) on the b-side. released in partnership with the bobo family, this official pressing revisits a dancefloor-ready masterpiece.

the ongoing celebration of kontra-musik s 10 years anniversary is basically a recognition of the importance of charisma within the predominantly mechanical sphere of electronic music. to quote label boss ulf eriksson in a recent groove interview: -to release on kontra you need to have developed a unique and personal sound.

as an encore to the mesmerizing ccc: bb: bbb: jj release on kontra-musik, tyler friedman brings out his version of what he thinks -dj techno tools- are. this is music for the dancefloor alright, but it s a dancefloor from a strange and slightly uncanny dream. tyler explores the sonic field between the chillingly precise and the vivaciously warped - the disciplined and the untamed. he thrives in that space, creating an eerie microcosmos of evolving harmonies and rhythms that seem to have lives of their own - like music coming out from a haunted clockwork. a suiting apparatus for a label unconcerned with the conventions of time.

theres plenty of fresh faces in dance music and theres plenty of legends, but how often do you come across a legendary fresh face? christian taylor aka dj kon is about as fresh as it gets and yet has been doing it since before most of us knew how to cue a record.

featuring the sultry vocals of new york based kendra morris, the slinky and catchy album version of *same old clown* is joined on the ep by deeper re-workings from usa dj and re-edit king kon (kon & amir, nitetime), who provides both a vocal and dub remix as well as uk producer linkwood, known in underground circles for his groundbreaking mix of future-boogie, house and detroit techno on scotlands excellent firecracker recordings imprint.
