news green 20th anniversary vinyl edition des mr. scruff-klassikers *keep it unreal* aus dem jahr 1999 - kommt als 180 gramm 2x12 green inch lp + poster gatfold sleeve!

san fran-based artist, tape_hiss releases his second ep on love notes and you can clearly hear both his sound and the label s maturing in tandem. moving on from the depth of his first record, love is a dog from hell, tape_hiss takes things into headier waters, going heavy on the acid and the rugged basslines on this 4 track ep. angelian war storm begins in exactly that fashion, with 303s squelching and bassbins rattling. this continues through the clear standout trackout, the vivian girls. the gears shift a bit on the b1 where sistrum boss, patrice scott is allowed to rework the vivian girls and does so in a warbly, dirty jazz fashion. tape_hiss then closes things out with the title track, realms of the unreal, which uses an appropriate sample annoucing, “this is me, yo. right here”, and it does very much sound to us like this budding artist is annoucing himself to the world in a most proper fashion. we can’t wait to hear what comes next from both artist and label.

just in time for the end of summer dark leader snaps back with it’s third release for 2017. for dark leader 004 collins brings us 3 futuristic electro cuts for his die mädchen ep.
it all starts off with luna (traum model), a track that takes the listener to the part of the mind reserved only for very late nights and early mornings where the lines between the real and unreal become blurred.
next up is lotte (kampf modell) an aggressive electro number that turns the dance floor into a battlefield from a war where humans finally overtake the machines.
finally collins takes us on a hypnotic journey that interweaves sadness and beauty with alenka (trauer modell), a track that reconnects you to memories and past experience, an odyssey that you won’t soon forget. dark leader 004 is housed in a full color jacket featuring cover artwork by eleanor’s mannequin art, design by eric adrian lee, and mastered by timothy stollenwerk.

ultraphat dark underground techno .... mindblowing. masterpiece, just a future classic, only 1 per customer

sentiment of callousness was written over a one-and-a-half year period of total collapse, characterized by disconnection between the world within and the perception of the world outside.
each of the tracks embodies feelings experienced during this time - from dark to bright, sluggish to energetic, alive to dead, real to unreal, and the self to the other.

was auf oracle ungeschliffen passiert, ist der erste output einer deutschen jazz supergroup. zunächst wollte man ein unperfektes spiritual jazz album aufnehmen, das vorbildern aus den siebzigern fröhnt (strata east, black jazz et cetera), einfach mal der leidenschaft nachgehen. und man wollte eine fiktive band erfinden, die es nicht gab, und rausposaunen, es handelt sich um ein unveröffentlichtes album von namhaften und beseelten typen aus den 70ern. nun ja: dann hätte man nie live konzerte geben können, von interviews ganz zu schweigen. kurzum, es wäre schwierig gewesen, das geheim zu halten, also hat man sich entschlossen, die identitäten preiszugeben: web web sind: roberto di gioia (piano, synth, percussion), tony lakatos (tenor- und sopranosaxophone), christian von kaphengst (upright bass) und peter gall (drums).

the critics were unanimous in their praise of the music on this legendary dutch only philips jazz lp from 1971, recorded at vara studios hilversum and produced by joop de roo, preceding the performance of the same compositions at jazz festival loosdrecht. excellent all star band with unreal line up: 17 top musicians from different countries featuring benny bailey, herb geller, ack van rooyen, jiggs whigham, frans elsen, rob madna, cees smal, rob franken, tony coe, rick kiefer and tony inzalaco, conducted by jerry van rooyen, first reissue, remastered 2009, comes with extensive new liner notes.

mancini and the creepers is a much needed breath of fresh air that really turned my week around from being horrendous to unreal! with the ridiculous vocal stylings of mancini throwing down some truly unorthodox rhythm, along with the unreal british-accented lyrics, this crew is pure entertainment in my mind. the rapping is done over the production crew, consisting of tommy tempa and frank law’s, beats and is put together in a great package.

after the success of the double lp kepler 438 on be as one, the well known shlomi aber imprint , orbe is back with even more energy and strength with his new lp -interplant”. the emerging artist from madrid whose tracks are regularly supported by the likes of marcel dettmann, nina kraviz, maceo plex and john talabot, presents his new 3x12’’ long player featuring fifteen tracks. orbe’s early years in music were shaped by broken rhythms which is worked into the ‘internplant’ lp as he fuses futuristic and cosmic sounds as a nexus.a new step forward for his career and a sonic palette which he wants to focus on right now. hybrid sequences taking inspiration from andromeda/buchla lem3 spider synthesizers and sampling of old school breaks have helped to create compositions like “what happens with strangers”, “revival” “deejay drama” and “virtual environment” where orbe mixes classic and futuristic sounds to create something current and referencing his origins. other singles like “multi filament light” “closer people dreams” and “the old ideology” were written as visionary works without percussive elements. they include atemporal melodies which try to involve to the more exigent listener. “data nights” “thematic exploration” and “higher dimensions influences” show the artist’s darker and more techno focused inspirations. here we can find metallic industrial sounds fused with minimalist precision to create brooding tension. “unreal”, “interplant” and “subground dehumidification” lay focus purely on the dance floor, characterised as a dynamic peak time tool accompanied perfectly with harmonic and glitched out pads.

a reflection of discomfort. uncertain. unyielding. objectively gritty. a snapshot of two years alone in an unfamiliar city. electric chaos assembled by an uninspired “youth”.
