wunderschöne melodisch süsse minimale tech tracks... dicker tip!!!

formed of laura lee on bass, mark speer on guitar, and donald “dj” johnson on drums, khruangbin’s sounds are rooted in the deepest waters of world music infused with classic soul, dub and psychedelia. their 2015 debut album ‘the universe smiles upon you’ was heavily influenced by 60’s and 70’s thai cassettes the band listened to on their long car journeys to rehearsal in the texan countryside. ‘con todo el mundo’ takes inspiration not just from south east asia but similarly underdiscovered funk and soul of the mediterranean and the middle east, particularly iran.

french house legend i:cube ( at peace ) and berlin based producer mark august ( the sandbox ), have created two, quite outrageously brilliant masterpieces.

limited 2 track ep, taken from the cocoon compilation !!

its been a while since the last release by mark august on connaisseur, but now hes back with an extraordinary one. two tracks, both like a fairytale of a country far, far away. a fable, with mystic and mysterious animals and creatures, might best describe what mark had in mind while working on the tracks. the wasps from tunisia and the silver piggy – the main track on this release is an uncommon piece of music. it starts moody and with a stoic pumping beat, yet also a somehow laidback feeling. it then unexpectedly and surprisingly builds up to a monster of a track, working manically towards its climax. then however, over the length of the track, it completely transforms again, coming back to its beginning, as though nothing had ever happened. scorpions groove is a deep and dubby affaire.

sven väth open air burner & also big with steve bug, claude von stroke, mike monday, c-rock, kiki, orlando voorn, satoshi tomiie, dj yellow !! mark august – just exalted by innervisions for their secret weapons mini sampler, known through his outstanding contribution on our compilation >grand cru< and his amazing releases on mezzotinto and curle, he enters our label family fully now with his first own release. his tracks declare his love to detroit techno and house, somehow modern but with a classic understanding. when he goes live, you should be prepared for something extraordinary. a wide colourful and dynamic pallet of sound that may amaze in its deepness but will rock your mind and body nonetheless. old joy – there is no happiness without sadness. this cognition was the initial point for this extravaganza. this timeless track sounds like a fine blend of an old djax-up record and fresh neodetroitish ingredients. its long build-up makes >old joy< a perfect match for the open-air season 2007

mark august hat mit der mezzotinto 1 schön unfassbar abgeräumt, hier nun der würdige nachfolger

ltd to 300 copies , highly anticipated by both fans and music critics, fossil archive 003 is a blanket of techno adulation, full of sky-high feeling through its warm and expansive energy. ‘perisphinctes’ which received a radio exclusive on b.traits’ bbc radio 1 show in august, marks itself as part of the vanguard of modern techno. purposely incompatible with the masses, it clearly lends itself to the underground, pushing its charisma in the direction of the label’s earthy vociferation. with its driving montage, its monolithic kick and general depth, it holds its own in any given setting. evoking a weighty hospitality of sound, ‘tiziani’ supplements bleak with feel-good synth exertion. straying from the conventional framework of techno, this is a stripped back, atonal portrait of effectual techno culture. without confusion, this unblemished and wholesome howl of voice brings with it a rich, affable buzz, perfectly suiting both the big room and more intimate homely surroundings. for roberto, this far-reaching release imposes on none and invites all to clinch its hauntological embrace, and with previous releases gathering support from the who’s who of techno, it’s sure to do just that.

when the fight-or-flight response edges in—adrenaline coursing and perception wired—our behaviour is especially spiked by an emotional intensity. and with that peak comes a trough. it’s a chemical freefall, just like a crush.
presented by posh isolation, “crush” marks the beginning of the end for varg’s turbulent nordic flora series. getting us lost in an exhilarating maze of fainting beauty and breaks, the fifth piece of the series invites us to relish the harmony just as much as the dissonance.
following on from the previous iterations of the series, particularly the widely acclaimed “nordic flora series pt.3: gore-tex city”, the cast of collaborators remain familiar. some faces are more prominent on this occasion, while others were folded into the series for the first time at last year’s berlin atonal festival where varg’s nordic flora program was unveiled.

ridley road market, dalston, london. august 2013 before the outbreak, the market was full of exotic food, clothes and spices. now all thats left is a sea of mindless undead beings roaming the streets, a non stop 808 low­end rumble and the stench of chicken bones. all this because of a record. it looked different. it sounded different and the results of playing it were catastrophic. as soon as dawn day nights 2012 debut ep was played, a ritual began . . . unbeknown to music lovers all over the world, they had given dawn day night the power to walk the earth once again. that power now grows stronger and he is almost ready to re­animate 4 undead booty shakers: the re­animations ep. with his undead army growing and a diary full of festival shows this summer, ask yourself, are you prepared for survival

so the story goes: a few years ago i played a cool underground party in stockholm with my good friend and crazy record collector mark seven. early on that night mark played me this beautiful and melancholic piece of music. mark happily handed me his spare copy and my record collection for a second felt a little more complete… originally released as a b side track to als slipshod ep on out of the loop the track continued to mesmerize whenever i played it and the fact that so many people loved it and equally as many didnt know the record i though a re release could be a great idea. its inclusion on gerd jansons recent sonar kollektiv compilation and the fact that its been played by legendary dj harvey ( o bearded one as hes known to by the initiated) has obviously helped to spread its fame to. the previously issued part 1 with the original and bogdan irkük remixes has gone down a storm with all the cool movers and shakers... oh yeah baby. now its time for the last chapter with equally mindboggling gatto fritto remix, mark sevens version and my own just plain silly rework. toodle oooo, thomas(oslo, 7th of august 2009)
