in vier neuinterpretationen verschmilzt der tiefgründige charakter des aktuellen douglas greed albums krl mit dem groove ausgewählter produzenten. so erfährt das ohnehin bemerkenswert vielschichtige werk nochmals eine mitreißende erweiterung seines atmosphärischen klangspektrums. rundfunk3000 gestalten das experimentelle shiver mit ihren gut gelaunten beats und warmen instrumentierungen aus, wodurch der titel zum tanzen einlädt, ohne auf die verträumte stimme von sängerin delhia zu verzichten. auch der sentimentale gesang aus pain bleibt erhalten, acid pauli balanciert ihn jedoch gewitzt mit einem perkussiven cumbia-rhythmus und dessen südamerikanischem frohsinn aus. mollono.bass wiederum nutzt die emotionale kraft jener stimme für eine hypnotische, eskalierende, zum ende gar in zwitschernde acid-zitate ausufernde dancefloor-abfahrt. den abschluss bildet die akustische song-version von morning gloria aus dem studio von mooryc, ein atmosphärisches destillat des sinnlich-besinnlichen originals.

label like soma records, universal, get physical and also highgrade, all contribute to the impressive credentials of the spaniard, prompts breathtaking live sets and releases. but prompt, himself the founder of his own label 7noise, is never one to rest on his laurels: instead he continues to push boundaries with his new live project: the prompt live band, a fusion of electronic sound production and jazz. this is not the first such step for the clasically trained musician, with his onuba project he has already mixed the flamenco sound of home country with electronic music. the three tracks to be released on highgrade records, created in collaboration with the chop suey quartet, bring to life what would appear to be almost impossible: a real connection between the highly concentrated nature of electronic rhythms and the loose and improvised sounds of jazz instrumentation. the result is a very special kind of studio jam session: victor tarín on piano, david blanco on bass, daniel del val on the drums - and prompt on a computer! with so much pasion for musical innovation on show, its no wonder that highgrade co-boss todd bodine wanted to get his fingers into the pie and deliver his own remix for the ep

part 1/3! the treibgut sonder kompilation consists of tracks by artists which played at the treibgut parties over the last five years. the opening track is the perfect warm up for listening to this compilation. chris established an ideal symbiosis of a smooth bass and a warm vocal line quickening your appetite for more. a groovy funky filtertypen track as we love it. you can spot their hip-hop roots in the vocal parts. the tight kickdrum contributes the uplifting punch making this track defintely a dancefloor tune rather than a warm up. a groovy piece of house music with a spherical break and a deep bassline for our brothers and sisters. this is a slip- proof track with a catchy vocal – definetely causing fun. deep, warm and drifty – this track is putting you in the perfect mood for enjoying sunset in the meadows or warming up at the club. if you cant let go and relax with this track you are probably a hopeless case.

march sees the formidable hypercolour deliver its most surprising output yet, an ep from none other than groove armada. tom findlay and andy cato need little introduction as groove armada. chart smashes, huge live tours and being part of the worldwide electronic music history aside, the duo have never lost touch with their acid house roots and have continued to be devoted to record buying, djing and the much maligned promo trawl. tom and andy have been avid followers of the label it seemed, since its inception. it was through label head jamie, meeting the guys back in 2010 at space in ibiza, and then continued communication via hypercolour promos, that led to an out-of-the-blue email requesting an informal hook up in east london and, within just a few days, a release was scheduled. that release is the >no knock ep<, four tracks that range from 808 fuelled old school cuts to low slung, moog-bassd electronic funk. each sound is lovingly crafted but there is an analog rawness throughout and every track has the sort of tweaked, off-kilter and occasionally awkward vibe that hypercolour do so well. it just takes a bit of imagination to guess what a ga release on hypercolour should sound but failing that, just check the release out as it wont disappoint.

ross caiden is a new name on the scene already racking up some cracking releases. after giving us a remix of ryders >thirty five days< back in december, we now have an original ep from him.

maelstrom could be mistaken for the newest kid on the scene, coming out of nowhere and dropping releases on prestigious labels like dirtybird and bnr trax in less than one year, but in reality he is far from being a kid, as a matter of fact he is more of a daddy. and i mean this more in a having a child way than in a >i m house musics daddy and i m gonna make her my bitch< way, except the latter is exactly what he is about to do with his new ussr ep on sound pellegrino.

art reform– being newly invented, this expression has already come in view of the people who arent indifferent to electronic music.

the title track on tychos long-awaited dive lp is just that — a ripple effect record that sounds like three songs in one, as if sound/graphic designer scott hansen just discovered progrock and decided to apply its winding passages to his own singular blend of sinewy synths and bleached beats. its also the first tycho song to feature a prominent guest musician, guitarist zac brown, in this case, who paints outside the lines of hansens halcyon hooks with restless rhythms and monorail-like riffs. the >dive< single fleshes things out even further, as keep shelly in athens and memoryhouse — both rising underground artists in their own right — cut hansens cloud-scraping composition in half and slow his cruise control chords down to a crawl. the misty vocal melodies are still there, but they are now floating through an embryonic assembly of jittery cicadas, rusty gears, and lean loops that are both welcoming and a bit woozy. the sonic equivalent of staring at the sun for too long, really, or two sides of the same cracked mirror.

aleph04 comes with three special reinterpretations of the labels first three eps. mano le tough is first in line. his remix of > flowers on fire< from aleph01 takes the originals colorful and spaced out vibes and puts them into a little more dancefloor friendly context, with a big 808 booming away and the swirls of the original synthline driving the track forward. mano has been a big supporter of the label right from the start and his releases on permanent vacation, buzzin fly or internasjonal have been turning heads quite a lot, so its an honour to have him on board. the second remix is by wasted gaze. this newcomer from vilnius / lithuania delivers an amazing version of >port hope< , taken from aleph02. a powerful, 2step / garage inspired beat sets the pace, while glowing pads, a super deep bass and enigmatic vocals take care of the rest. watch this guy, his untitled states ep on partyzanai is one of the most intersting and exciting records in a long time. the last track is a remix by aera aka m50 from chicago, who, quite fittingly, took care of this spaced out take on whats my name again? from aleph03. this one is for the heads, a special gem that will work magic in the early morning hours
