Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Downliners Sekt

downliners sekt zaehlen zu den bemerkenswertesten kuenstlern der brodelnden electronic-szene barcelonas. auf ihrem dritten longplayer silent ascent fesseln sie den hoerer mit einer ueberzeugenden mixtur aus post-dubstep, berliner techno-dub und leftfield-hip hop. ihr deeper sound ist inspiriert von der wissenschaft von autechre, den geisterechos des basic channel sublabels burial mix und dem shoegaze von my bloody valentine. zu ihren fans zaehlen solch gestandene kollegen wie mount kimbie, john talabot, kevin the bug martin oder mary anne hobbs. deshalb wundert es nicht, dass sie fuer die produktion von silent ascent die berliner produzentenlegende rashad becker gewinnen konnten, der maßgeblich am basic channel-sound beteiligt war.

neue 12 inch des katalanischen duos downliners sekt auf infiné: die a side von *balt shakt* ist ein verstörender david lynch-albtraum auf afro-psych-jazz-grooves, die b side beginnt mit minimal dub-techno und entwickelt sich zu einem düster-verstaubten uk garage-shuffle-trip.

trim / tab is the latest broadcast from the subsonic soul cave of downliners sekt.

the ever-shady downliners sekt will complete their trilogy of eps for barcelona’s disboot label with the release of meet the decline. following the excellent hello lonely, hold the nation and we make hits, not the public, a pair of eps that took the formally post-rock duo and repositioned them somewhere between autechre and mount kimbie (or, as our friends at boomkat said, >mount kimbie on crack<), meet the decline promises >soul-filled gospel hymns for a technological apocalypse … mutated guitars wind their way around hypnotic digital syncopations and ghostly choral textures, uplifting and menacing in equal parts.< bit like christmas in the fact office, then. meet the decline is penciled in for an april release date, but you know how these things go.

>hello lonely, hold the nation< is the long awaited new release by enigmatic bass-tronauts, downliners sekt. leaving aside the post rock, industrial leanings of their critically acclaimed predecessor, >the saltire wave<, the group lays out a subsonic adventure through haunting melodies and phantasmic soul. teaming with barcelonan bass music pioneers disboot, this release offers one of the most progressive discs of electronic music emanating from western europe. already pushing the limits of dubstep, grime and contemporary bass music before they were officially baptized, downliners sekt pick up the race where they left off with their >statement of purpose< lp.

rmxs from robin guthrie, leader of the defunct cocteau twins, and idol for all the shoegaze electronic scene (apparat, m83, walls..), telefon tel aviv (bpitch), douglas greed (freude am tanzen) and post-dubstep duo from barcelona downliners sekt.

the music of barcelonian producer mistakes are ok is quite a mystery for us. its strange, adventurous and enigmatic, impossible to define with genres or styles. maybe thats the reason why we like it so much, or maybe its simply that we find it utterly captivating... incl rmxs from kassem mosse, downliners sekt, bnjmn....
