dancing plague aus portland ist für synth-wave- und minimal-synth-süchtige ein begriff, denn er war bereits zwei mal auf der va-serie von oráculo records vertreten. dieses ep-mini-album besteht aus einer auswahl seiner letzten beiden eigenveröffentlichungen, bleak moments und songs of others. wie bei ihm üblich, können wir zerrissene poetische botschaften erwarten, die von klassischen, minimalen und sentimentalen popstrukturen umhüllt sind.

the production outfit of daniel varga, michael kuebler and sascha hedgehog, earned their dance music stripes around the turn of the millennium with a series of strong releases, most notably on frankfurt-based techno institution playhouse. describing their musical aesthetic as cabaret-independent-house, the act forged a distinct sound that combines icy minimal structures with catchy euro-girl vocals, anglo-french funk antics and a dash of dancefloor melancholy. this summer, rework return to the fray with a two-sided affair for paris-based meant records that shows they have not lost the electric energy that characterised their earlier work.

der 24-jährige kwes hat bereits jede menge erfahrungen im musikbiz gesammelt. so produzierte er die kritikerlieblinge speech debelle und dels, arbeitete mit micachu, ghostpoet und the xx zusammen, sowie mit damon albarn an dessen projekt drc music, dank dessen er in berührung mit warp kam. diese zeigten sich von kwes talent begeistert und boten ihm direkt einen eigenen künstlervertrag an. meantime ist kwes erste ep mit dem maintrack bashful, einem elektronischen disco-shuffle mit akribischer melodieführung und sprengseln aus soul, r&b und house, die seine idee von free pop perfekt demonstriert: populärmusik, die keine grenzen kennt, der exzentrik nicht ausweicht, ideenreichtum jeglicher vergangener regel vorzieht, bzw. einfach verspricht, dass wir von diesem jungen mann noch sehr viel aufregendes und neues hören werden!

since the last senking album >pong< (r-n122) was a great success in 2010 and sold out quickly raster-noton swiftly asked for a follow-up of massels sound cosmos. on >tweek< senking again reveals his sense of cineastic atmospheres and dark abysmal depths of sound, which are subordinate to extremely slow choky basses and delayed beats. references to dubstep are rather the result of testing the outlying areas of the frequency spectrum than a direct relation to the genre. nevertheless it seemed very obvious to release senkings sound on 12inch vinyl to follow the footsteps of >plasticstar< (r-n081) and >pruitt igoe< (r-n124), >tweek< is meant to be a dj-tool for a club environment. >tweek< refers to a character of the well known us series >southpark<, who plays with feelings of incertitude and nervous decease. the album documents the eagerness to experiment and indicates astonishing ideas shining through the dark substance. the tracks even reveal cheerful and comical features.

also including great remix from tim paris. right after his first two eps on meant records, and the support of many other worldclass djs such as richie hawtin, miss kittin, ivan smagghe, ewan pearson or chloe, remain delivers us the last part of his musical and visual triptych: >spread/rash ep.

great new release from the man behind initial cuts label. here including remixes from remain and french lady dj chloe.
