ltd repress - burner! massive! wird bereits von solomun, trikk, musumeci, lehar u.a. in jedem ihrer sets gespielt. hier kommt die erste maxiauskopplung aus mr raoul k’s album “african paradigm”. und was für eine! die a-seite birgt einen killertrack, dunkel aber schimmernd schön. ein wirbelndes pad und treibende beats führen den tack erst in eine dunkelheit und dann geht die sonne auf, wenn sona diabate’s stimme reinkommt. ihr kraftvoller gesang flutet licht über alle schatten und der track schafft den spagat zwischen: “putting you in a trance und raise your hands in the air”. eleganz und energie. auf der b-seite: der kaito remix von “african paradigm”, eine zwölf-minuten freigeistige glückseligkeit mit einem unwiderstehlichen groove. das ist mr raoul k’s trademark: organische sounds, traditionelle instrumente der elfenbeinküste, und funkelnde soundlandschaften - wundervoll geschmückt mit mysteriösen vocals.

the tel-aviv based label parallax brings yogg and pharaoh together for their 8th vinyl release. it starts off with the epic title track, a laid-back bassy groove surrounded by crispy hits and shifted electrical noises, building up to a climatic second part which fuses a lot of the producers unique soundscapes, all on a hypnotic pounding rhythm section. this is followed by a quirky broken electronica short, -ompti-, chopped-up modular sweeps and lush melodic hints create this uniquely structured a2 track. the b-side starts of with -maurice-, a more direct and intensive techno cut, which also breaks into an energetic – wobbly 2nd section which also features many of their unique sound explorations in a dramatic final section. b2, -abadei- has a deeper buildup approach for most of it, starting from a pure yet uneven rhythm section, and growing into a mass of counterparts and layers of noise and crackle. the ep ends with an unlisted locked-groove, an intense and dirty industrial-techno groove.

fat prime time techno!

limited remastered reissue on transparent orange double vinyl.

botanic records presents let love kill: a new ep by experimental malaysian drummer reza othman, otherwise known as rao. fully-formed but deliberately unpolished, the release presents itself as a meditation of found sounds, ambient samples and ultimately enthralling diy sonic landscapes.

uncage founder marco faraone makes his second appearance on rekids with a massive vocal cut entitled ‘on my way’, featuring a remix from 50weapons and hyperdub’s addison groove. the italian techno producer had an active year touring in 2017, dropping only one release on tenax recordings. however, 2018 is already proving to be one of his busiest on the production front, with releases appearing on rekids special projects, on edge society and his own label uncage, not to mention forthcoming appearances on gigolo and avotre. he now returns to rekids with his biggest sounding record yet. with its infectious vocal, rolling kicks and off-beat hats, it is undeniable that ‘on my way’ is destined to become one of this year’s most recognisable club tracks. on the flip, bristolian producer and swamp 81 affiliate addison groove has produced an intricate remix featuring a cacophony of percussion as a stuttering low-end joins chilling synths. finally, faraone concludes the package with a ‘dub acid rework’, losing the vocals whilst incorporating heady 303 licks.

debut ep of laolu & mr. raoul k.

r&s newcomer karim sahraoui delivers an ep of deep, emotive techno that draws on the rich legacy of detroit while staying relevant for the modern era. sahraoui is a globetrotting seeker of musical truth spending time in malaysia, italy and spain as well as his native france, he recorded in the early 2000s to some acclaim as djinxx, releasing prolifically for delsin, cocoon, f-com bedrock, and ovum amongst others. in 2009 he took a couple of years out from the industry, travelling to malaysia to find himself. in 2011 a chance meeting reconnected sahraoui with derrick may, who he originally met in the late 90s. may was reactivating transmat and persuaded karim to let him release his music, but on the condition it be under his own name. the resulting pair of eternal life eps in 2014 and 2016 marked his rich return to form glorious melodic, contemplative techno in the classic motor city mode. his plenitude ep for r&s builds on similar positive themes - from the percolating arpeggios and mystic melodies of spy of the desert, to the anthemic jazzy techo paen of born again or the aching symphonic build of before the 2nd coming its clear that after decades in the business sahraouis talent is only growing rather than diminishing. i wanted to give it more spirituality, musicality and roots with the choice of the sounds. going back in the past and transcribe everything with visionary fusions, sahraoui explains.

nice price deal !!! another bomb on uncage! this ep is heavily influenced by that berlin techno modular sound, kicking off with >terraforming< and its percussive swing coupled with synthetic percussive riffs twisting in and out the mix. >monastero< is a slow builder of a track, a haunting synth line accompanies firing hi-hats. head down late-night moments are to be had with >exoplanet< with a low key acid line slicing through the background, leading us into >solar shade<. the lead track has a low-end rumbling sub, deep and powerful with an eerie vibe.

bigamo come with another nugget which crossed the path of frank wiedemann s way. modern tropicalia soundtrack coproduced by red axes. it totally has this honest jon’s vibe.

uncage founder marco faraone debuts on rekids, dropping four techno cuts on the label’s special projects series this march. the italian producer has had a busy few years touring north america, south america and europe, not to mention dropping releases on labels like ovum and tenax recordings. meanwhile his uncage imprint, which he runs alongside norman methner, has quickly cemented a reputation for quality house and techno, releasing music from artists like eduardo de la calle, pablo mateo and fabio della torre (under his corcos moniker). with its rolling percussion and a heady spoken word sample, find the song introduces a quintessential rekids record. thunderous kick drums and piercing stabs then form the high-octane arcane before the dark and ominous justice demonstrates industrial elements and floating atmospherics. tying it all together, tantalizing melodies join echoing effects for the final track titled layers.

this time you will enjoy the dancefloor forró-rhythms from pernambuco-brazil..

raoul k is known for blending the sounds of real westafrican instruments and modern electronic clubsounds into one mesmerizing soundscape. this time, he takes a new approach: the original mix is produced without the use of any electronic instrument. just pure african sounds, chopped and melted together into one groovy slice of contemporary clubmusic. this is the first release in a series celebrating the tenth year of baobab music… which will lead to a new raoul k album. electronics aren’t completely left out. the blending, however, was left to the remixers this time: irfan adds a good measure of energy in his mix, setting up some analog synths with raoul’s beats. watch out for the break… kaito delivers a very dreamy remix which seems to lose its kickdrum but does not lose its groove. dance into the sunrise. choose vinyl, please

tenax recording is proud to have marco faraone on board again, one of the residents at the club. after his successes around the world recording for the likes of drumcode, ovum recordings, holic trax and his own label u&#1048,,cag&#926,, he delivers an absolute banger of a ep including a very sophisticated remix by the very talented honey dijon from chicago. the ep is composed of 3 original tracks with raw elements and atmospheres: horizon is a never-ending dj tool based around a groove with a great synth line, double faces has special dub characteristics and parallels is a real stomping track aimed straight at the floor. the perfect mix for underground dancefloor.

supertalent und neuer stern am clubhimmel: karim sahraouis -eternal life ep- pt. 1&2 auf derrick mays transmat label katapultierte ihn mit einem schlag ganz nach vorne und seinen track fathers legacy auch auf die letzte ausgabe der compost kult-compilation-serie future sounds of jazz. mit seiner gang of love ep für compost black zeigt karim nun seine ganze musikalische bandbreite von detroit techno über jazz-infizierten house, bis zu funkelndem downbeat. tipp!

love will remember pharaon de winter, it says at the very end of this record. pharaon de winter was a relatively unsuccessful painter from northern france. today its the name of a band, but also the name of the song that changed its authors life. the ex-leader of the bands toy fight and (please) dont blame mexico - the eps first aid and michel foucault, and the album concorde, in 2011, with the hit song the protocol - maxime chamouxs musical style could be placed somewhere between north-american rock, spoon, neutral milk hotel, and prefab spout and xtcs sophisticated brit-pop.

karim sahraoui, known by releases on labels such as transmat, cocoon and arts, as well as dj appearances on boiler room and on dancefloors all around the world, makes his debut on off recordings. book of life is a melodic techno track in karim s signature style. warm and emotional, albeit with a strong drive for the dancefloor, it can set a strong accent in a set. italy s dast created a slamming peaktime techno interpretation, which is sure to create a massive effect on the dancefloor. syncopated chords and a rolling groove build towards an epic break. -exodus- is aptly named as a perfect track to close the set by the end of the night. lush and warm pads and melodies evoke a warm and optimistic atmosphere. anton pieete remixed exodus with a minimalistic and more groove-focused interpretation. altogether an ep with a timeless feel, spanning the borders between techno, house and electronica.

the master is back, not many words needed to introduce one of the biggest pioneers of deep & emotional electronic music. karim sahraoui play on a league of his own, this is the second release of many to come. thank you.

abrao will debut his first solo ep produced by red axes, and released on their own imprint, garzen records. abraos songs talk about his past, his future, love and hate, dirt and clean, they are sometimes happy and sometimes sad, but they are always different.

brilliant four track floorfriendly detroit / dub techno / acid infected monster... prime time techno

inmotion music ltd sparks its first release by none other than marco faraone. fresh off his unflinching release schedule in 2015, with poignant releases on drumcode, moon harbor beasone and on edge society, marco’s second release of the year sees him affirming his position as a full-spectrum techno mainstay. with two stunning remixes by argentinas jonas kopp, replace ep showcases a versatile playlist grounded in timeless, raw techno.

italy s fastest rising name in house and techno returns to the respected drumcode imprint with this blistering new 4- track ep, climax. featuring a distinctive vocal sample crescending over a typically thumping bassline, opening lead track climax grows gradually with the introduction of a single synth note and skipping hi-hats.

contemplative, but never melancholic, rather with a positive mood, the tracks diffuse an overwhelming lightness and radiate a lighthearted happiness, which are manifested on an incredibly emotional and spiritual level. with the simple and classic black and white artwork the two releases from sahraoui balance eachother like yin und and yang. the second part of the eternal life ep has a very different background than the first ep. it is the white yang of these two natural opposites, contrary forces that are interconnected and interdependent. the record is significantly calmer, less clubby and references the beginnings of the detroit sound

karim sahraoui has been producing gems for many years under various names such as djinxx, soul monkey and electronique resistance. after a break 2014 saw his return to the business under his real name and producing music that is closer to him than ever. releases included the future classic eternal life ep pt 1 on derrick mays transmat and appearances on labels such as cocoon. the a-side features the epic 10-minute original version of horns of glory on which karim takes his time to unfold the story of the track: a journey filled with beautiful melodies and rhythms that paint a lush landscape of sound. side b features the earth from above which again has a fairy-tale feeling to it. the b2 is vince watsons pumping and powerful remix of horns of glory which gives the track an energetic hypnotic quality and rounds off the package well.

derrick mays transmat is back with the symbolic catalog number ms200 and the promising french producer karim sahraoui (aka djinxx). a new chapter will now be devoted to multiplying emerging artists productions – not only musically, but also with a classic artwork that recalls transmats debuts and captivate us with modern interpretations of transmats distinctive sounds. 2016 repress

”love will remember pharaon de winter” is said at the end of the record. pharaon de winter was a painter from north of france, who lived from the end of the xixth century to the beginning of the xxth century. today, pharaon de winter is reappearing again. it’s a band, but also the name of a song, which changed everything for his author. past leader of both bands toy fight and (please), maxime chamoux was playing since now a genre between north american rock of spoon and neutral milk hotel, and sophisticated british pop from prefab sprout or xtc. we find today in this new project songs navigating between french, for most part, and english. partners and friends since a long time, thomas pirot at the drums and raphael ankierman at the bass are playing alongside fx guéant-mata at the guitar. we also find mina tindle and her delicate voice appearing here and there. at last we don’t forget the goldsmith’s talent of canadian musician sandro perri who’s joining the band, highly recommended by pitchfork magazine with his album impossible spaces in 2011.

two mixes of mr raoul ks opus break your chains and return to botswana. kaito takes a step back and uses parts of mr raoul ks tricky beats as a rock solid base to build his soundscapes on. his mix is like the soundtrack to a movie dealing with alienated individuals who try to escape imprisonment through an endless desert.
