lo recordings is enormously proud to set free air’s world vol. 1 – the first release from london newcomer world air.

simbad is by no means a newcomer, and has built his rep-utation with over a decades worth of releases. besides his close affiliation with brownswood recordings / worldwide fm, he’s had production credits on releases by mala, daymé arocena and robert owens, and remixed the likes of black jazz consortium, quantic and roy ayers to name but a few. for this release, simbad once again proves his bold and versatile productions skills. continuing where his previous solo releases left off, he returns to his roots to further his journey exploring house music in all its richness and diversity under his new moniker smbd. with references of classic techno, house, and broken beat, the end result is fresh and inspiring. ‘message 045’ is just that, a comment on today’s world tinted with the sound of an uncertain, technological future and held together with innocent melodies, bubbling synths, rolling basslines and driving percussion. shimmering pads and punching drums carry both ‘ping pong love’ and ‘backstreet’, ready for the dance floor. title track ‘message 045’ takes a beatless, contemplative approach, dreamy, euphoric instrumenta-tion aided with dialogue that captures the essence of the release. newcomer world air offers his charmingly unconventional approach to ‘ping pong love’, a mesmerizing and inventive piece that takes the listener on a trip to a brave new sonic world. watch this space for world air’s debut release soon..

berlin-based duo private agenda present their debut lp “Île de rêve” on lo recordings.

spaciousness is the first volume in a series of releases that seeks to explore the connections, the overlaps, the roots and the future of a music variously referred to as ambient, deep listening, new age and even post classical. the double vinyl release comes in a gatefold sleeve with download code included.

nach einer siebenjährigen auszeit meldet sich us-produzent sam grawe aka hatchback mit seinem dritten longplayer year of the dragon- auf lo recordings zurück und dringt in neue horizonte aus electronica, prog-rock, balearischen rhythmen und new age-atmosphären vor. das album komplettiert nach colors of the sun und zeus & apollo- seine california cosmic sound series trilogie.

having already blessed the airwaves with their masked boiler room performance, and with releases and features seen on yume, huntley’s & palmers, permanent vacation and antho- ny napel’s probito, the promising talents of edinburgh duo hi & saberha&#776,gen continue on lo with ‘acid finger’. the five track ep showcases exactly what the pair are known for, exploring the balance of the subtle and direct natures of dance music. there is something extremely unique about their productions that breathes new life into an arguably stat- ic climate. ‘acid finger’ travels from highs to lows at a consistent and co- herent pace, starting with the sparkling, disco tinged ‘force&#769, boi&#770,te’. euphoric heights are executed through light flourish- ing synth lines, drum patters and chord stabs. ‘woodrum’ maintains the pace but switches the tone with jungle rhythms and a pounding bass. ominous belter ‘git’ with its driving kick, looped vocal sample and rolling bass. the track develops into a hopeful finish with the introduction of glittering synth movements. title track ‘acid finger’ delivers beautifully delicate percus- sive and melodic work that progressively shapes up against fleeting shrill synth lines that come to a fitting crescendo. ending the release is the melancholic atmospheres created in ‘redacted’, bringing a shift in mood and imitating a trudge through memory lane. expect to see and hear a lot more from these guys in the future..

after the release of his beautifully put together album ‘shining the money ball’ via vancouver’s 1080p earlier last year (which will see a limited vinyl release on lo recordings later this year), as well as having music released through 100% silk, body-san joins the lo family with ‘pacific reasons ep’. having been a part of the new wave of house music to emerge over the past few years from the west coast of america and canada, body-san delivers music with a rich sense of depth, emotive precision and concise instrumentation throughout. brandon knocke (in his own apt description) offers three ‘coastal burners’ through ‘pacific reasons’, with the addition of the majestic interlude ‘liquid entrance’. ‘topaz chalice’ sets us off with the sunset, created through comforting yet strangely ominous chords and vocal melody lines. the track slowly evolves with small percussive flurries, beautiful chord and melody progressions and a smooth, sliding bass line. as pleasant and calming as ‘topaz chalice’ is, we still feel the full force of knocke’s thumping kick, making it as viable for the dance as it is for the cans...

over the years, lo recordings has taken pride in exploring a wide and broad range of sounds, genres and styles. to mark 20 years of lo recordings, we are taking a fresh and bold approach with our output to further explore the accelerating and refined developments in electronic music today. this is the first of our new phase of releases, a collaborative project between the two titans mr. g and k15. ‘a learning curve’ is exactly as the title suggests, an educational experience to un- derstand each other musically and technically, and to explore new territories and schools of thought. as avid users and fans of the mpc, as well as being extremely busy, both mr. g and k15 were given the same samples dug out of the lo recordings archives to each create a track which would remotely display their techniques and methods. this was quick- ly adopted to be the theme in a series of three releases to come out throughout the year from the pair. the results come in the form of mr. g’s mesmerising ‘navigate’ and k15’s introspective ‘the guilt within’, two very individual tracks in their own rights. ‘navigate’ is instantly recognisable as the work of its creator, armed and ready to bring the dance floor to hypnotic heights. with its rough and gritty sound, driving kick & synth stabs, and hauntingly majestic keys, we are thrown into peak of the night. on the flip, ‘the guilt within’ takes a turn to more ominous terri- tories, crafting an atmosphere on the other end of the spectrum to ‘navigate’. a beautiful and delicate journey carried along by light skipping percussion, immersive sweeping pads and a puls- ing sub which all come together to take the listener deep inside themselves.

40th anniversary,first ever reissue of classic 1970 lp by french electronic music pioneer bernard fevre aka black devil disco club

is perfect pop still possible? its hard to imagine but the answer is yes and the proper ornaments are here to prove it. a timeless beauty that reminds us of the velvet underground and the jesus & marcy chain and yet sounds classic and effortlessly original. produced by charlie march of nzca lines and featuring ten golden nuggets of pure pleasure, this is truly an album you cant resist.

this autumn bernard fevre returns with *black moon, white sun*, his 7 th album as the black devil, a mask he has worn since 1978 to conjure up analogue disco dreams from the ether and cast a spell over dancefloors around the world. released on the ancient festival of samhain (october 31st) when the barriers between our world and the next are said to be thinnest, *black moon, white sun* is your own personal gateway to an altered state of mind.

with releases to his credit on labels such as warp records, rephlex, planet-mu and ninja tune, its fair to say that luke vibert knows a thing or two about electronic music. now he returns to lo recordings for the third installment of his acclaimed nuggets series, this time delving into the archive of the bruton music library to unearth some of the production music studios choice moments.

written and performed by larry seftel with production from panos ghikas and johannes von weizsäcker of the chap. influenced as much by literature as music, hackney based larry seftel weaves emotive and poetic lyrics over intricate engaging art pop backing, sometimes intimate and warm, frequently obscure and disturbing, but always a tad discomforting. this is due in no small part to seftels deadpan vocal delivery juxtaposed with the often-nightmarish scenes that his songs describe.

supremely catchy and insanely haunting, the work of 23 year old self trained singer /musician claire boucher is one of lifeÕs great mysteries. itÕs been a good time for music in the last year or so, weÕve been loving the new psychedelic sound sometimes called hypnagogic pop at other times chill wave, glo fiÉ..zzzzzz. for us no other act captured the fractal flow better than canadian singer claire boucher aka grimes

after the fine response to last years milky disco 2 release, lo recordings brings you another selection of cosmic space nuggets to light up your life. featuring well known names such as soft rocks, hatchback, black devil disco club and in flagranti alongside new talent like leo zero, telespazio and moscow, milky disco once again explores a kaleidoscopic variety of styles, tempos and textures.

this is a very special electronic album by bernard fevre who sees hiself as a innovator for modern electronica. he is working with just a few sounds and arranging them into extremely tight nuggets and applying them to playful little melodies. we just love this fresh and surprising sound!
