as the title suggests. joakim recorded this new album last year at studio venezia. the installation/sculptural ensemble/recording studio created by xavier veilhan for the prestigious 2017 venice art biennale. built inside the french pavilion & inspired by the grotto-like merzbau by kurt schwitters. studio venezia had dozens of artists create and record there over the 6 months of the biennale (from chassol to brian eno. from joakim to sebastien tellier). invited by xavier veilhan himself with the help of co-curator christian marclay. with an impressive collection of rare instruments from medieval horns to rare modular synths (baschet crystals and percussions. a buchla. a clavinet...). studio venezia was an amazing creative playground for the adventurous musician. those instruments were captured by a team of sound engineers in the best possible way thanks to nigel godrich’s (beck. radiohead...) mobile studio loaded with state of the art vintage recording gear.

ground is an osaka native. but his soul is truly that of a nomad. traversing the planet. befriending the kindred spirits found in humans. animals and plants. he is exceptionally receptive to the beauty in all that surrounds him—the incidental music of a busy city street. the orchestrated chaos of a scrambling radio. the syncopated grace of a migrating flock of birds. the simplicity of an isolated hand clap—and as his map continuously unfolds. he accumulates a vast catalogue of visceral tools to complex musically recount his experiences. sunizm is a cross section of the artist’s process—an array of complex microcosms overlapping to comprise a thematic whole—gathering field recordings. found instrumentation. jagged electronics. and synthesized chanting. to be woven into a dense narrative that appears both obsessively constructed and divinely improvised. with each consecutive track. the artist gradually constructs hypnotic patterns that 1-up the mind as it struggles to break free from a seduction of loops. steadily intensifying until reaching an apex of sound collage so cerebral that the listener might consider a post-album shower. but alas. the fourth quarter releases a bit of pressure. our gobs still lay smacked but there is a warm confidence as the psychedelic trial delivers us home to nod out. dear humans. animals and plants. ground and the esp institute present. sunizm.

queeste emerges with the nocturnal sounds of haron s wandelaar. an album exploring his long-term interest in music s talent for inducing and affecting dreams. successfully turning listening into an act of transport. leaving you in the midst of falling asleep. at a junction of dislocation. hazily arriving in a liminal world. in wandelaar we hear haron s playful reaction against the confines of dance music. gathering energy from his estrangement from the scene and using it as a means to reorder and interrogate sound. the modest piano takes centre stage. allowing each solo note to becoming fertile and full. suspended and considered. guided by the principles of minimal composers such as john cage and ryuichi sakamoto. haron delicately translates sparse chords into a cinematic narrative of ascension. conjuring up a moony landscape. grey and desolate from afar. intricately detailed on approach. haron s wandelaar is available 6 july 2018 on lp. the vinyl release includes an art print by fallon does. who is also responsible for the graphic design of wandelaar. all tracks written and produced by haron aumaj. mastered by wouter for brandenburg mastering. words by jo kali.

one of the deepest reaching projects from the multifaceted vibraphone stable resurfaces for an extended trip through ambient sonics that marks possibly the most daring departure on the esteemed italian label to date. the harmonious tones undulating throughout sketches from space are instant soothers. taking the odd cue from techno but defiantly beatless and meditative. its a surprising addition to the long and winding vibraphone story. but also feels like one of the strongest steps forward the resurgent label has taken since returning to the fray. just try sinking into lagrangian point l4 and you ll see exactly what we mean.

synkro aka joe mcbride teams up with veteran arovane aka uwe zahn for a sublime collaborative ep on apollo. refractive (index) sees the duo exploring their shared love of broken beats and dreamy soundscapes. the pair are also connected through their affection for yamahas venerable handheld sequencer. the qy700 (also a favourite of dutch lo-fi house master legowelt) arovane a long time stalwart of the acclaimed city centre offices imprint explains: everything started with a detail in an interview with joe that grabbed my attention. i spotted a qy700 sequencer from yamaha on one photo. i used this piece of gear for decades to sequence all of my hardware and to produce my music. its part of my trademark sound of rhythm programming. one of the factors that makes the qy700 beloved is its ability to change parameters in realtime to shuffle. shift. expand or compress the timing of each pattern independently. its touch can be felt throughout the oscillating rhythmic figures that wend through the gauzy pads and drifting melodies. we share the same wavelength when it come to breakbeats. musical taste and melodies. arovane continues this ep is the beginning of something special!

dutch label field records is back with another special album project. this time from japanese producer ena aka yu asaeda. bridge is an introspective soundtrack for a documentary also called bridge - out this spring - which is about the dejima bridge. a reconstructed symbol of the dutch-japanese trading history in nagasaki. japan. the album finds the producer stepping outside of his usual remit of dark ambient and experimental music. and instead comprises ten shorter tracks that touch on abstract and rhythmic sounds that define the essence of japanese culture. although he has worked with the director before. this is ena s first original sound track and finds him freely inspired by the movie and heading in exciting and unknown directions. hugely atmospheric throughout. there is hypnotic repetition of sounds. strange audio design and a mixture of melancholic moods with more dreamy synths. sometimes gloopy rhythms gently ripple beneath soothing harmonies and at others times a micro-rhythm appears through the constantly shifting and evolving found sound loops. it s a compelling and unusual album that seamlessly mixes human emotions with a mechanical sense of industry.

next up on donato dozzy and neels spazio disponibile label is close friend and italian producer marco shuttle. the eerie label-boss is a regular on the label having put out his systema album here last year. as well as his flauto synthetico ep in 2016. his always meticulously crafted sound is rooted in dark. cavernous techno. he finds plenty of new ground in each new release. though. with some tracks being haunting ambient works and others more propulsive rhythms. this new ep features just that across four typically inventive and absorbing tracks that are as much for your head as they are for your heel.

alex paterson’s longstanding electronic titans the orb present the new album ‘no sounds are out of bounds’. which as the title suggests finds them embracing an anything-goes new approach to creative freedom. refreshing and reinventing the predominantly two-man set up with thomas fehlmann on the prior two albums (‘moonbuilding 2703 ad’ and ‘cow / chill out world!’). ‘no sounds…’ is intentionally an ensemble piece. featuring a large cast of big names. cult heroes. rising talent and fresh newcomers. alex paterson. thomas fehlmann. youth. roger eno. hollie cook and guy pratt take star turns. as does heroic bassist jah wobble. who returns to the fold following the bassbin-bullying anthem ‘blue room’. additional supporting roles come from gaudi. roney fm and michael rendall. plus vocalists brother culture. mary pearce. emma gillespie. rianna. and andy cain – who’s best known for voicing mark ernestus and moritz von oswald’s deep house gems ‘i’m your brother’ and ‘a new day’. the double vinyl release includesd a download code.

within lok recordings’ sixth release. we introduce lokin to you. we’re coming up with something to break boundaries and strengthen the spirit of artistic freedom. -the fall- by the belgian-born berlin-based singer. songwriter and producer cook strummer - aka maxime donnet - is an evocative ode to lost love and forgotten spirituality. channeling the post-punk synth sound of his home country’s cold wave movement of the late 70s and early 80s. donnet has absorbed the sounds of his adopted home in germany. taking that all-pervasive electronic music that is all around him and morphing it into something new. the result is -the fall-. recorded in a cell located in the basement of an old stasi prison (studio k61 in berlin). it’s an album with one eye on the dancefloor. but one that works just as well when the party is over. it’s an album that blends the organic with the synthetic. mixing guitars and synths with post-dubstep flourishes and drum machines. it’s an album about something. the name of the album has been chosen in reference to first single fallen. the idea of falling in life and waking up again. it’s also about the fact that it’s not the fall that kills you. a fall can be graceful. a fall can improve a life perspective and create new paths. it can and does make you strong. the main metaphor in there is one of reincarnation. indeed. it’s the story of a soul negotiating with god to not reincarnate on earth again. but being forced to do it anyways. experience something different!

emile facey (plant43) has been at the forefront of electronic for more than twelve years. during that time the british producer has released on a host of seminal labels. expanding his style and sound in new directions. although plant43 is typically classified as a purveyor of electro. behind those driving rhythms and steely percussion a tenderness has always been present. an emotion expressed in lilting melodies and complex harmonies. it is these melodies and harmonies that come into focus on plant43s debut ambient album. on from deep streams is a rich and textured tapestry of synth work. a soundtrack that organically unfurls from nightime woodland walks and city stargazing to mindful solitude. the eight tracks offer the listener a calming journey into stillness. an excursion through gentle audio currents and a moment to pause and take in an inspiring vista of sound. recorded over the space of 3 months. this album gives the quiet. the subtle and the sometimes underappreciated centre stage whilst casting light on yet another side of emile faceys ever-evolving musi

like many electronic artists. ryan lee west aka rival consoles spent his early years experimenting with idm. glitch and dance. but one consistent element in his musical journey has been his desire to create a more organic. humanised sound. through these experimentations he has found a process of producing electronic music that feels close to this urge. west engages his hands directly with instruments and is very selective about what he then records into the computer. he reduces musical parts even further. leaving enough space around the sound for it to breath.
odyssey is a reflection of west’s quest to create atmosphere and space from minimal arrangements. ‘i don’t like music to sound overly laboured. so i restrict how much is going on. i’m kind of obsessed with the idea of reduction.’ this 5-track ep was mastered by naweed.

only one month after the release of their first ep on mt on may 2018. vactrol park continue surprising. this time with a full lp in the shape of “music from the luminous void”.the album sees vp delve much deeper into more atmospheric realms. using modular synths and unexpected drum machine sequencing they leave the 4x4 beats behind in favor of off-world rhythms and ever growing bass. &#8232..... starting with drops’s high frequency tension. laying on top of those heavy kick drums it keeps on growing and growing. from there it moves to the “end of the party” groove that is novikov’s notation. and its trippy monotonic rhythm. the a-side ends with the heavy sampled ambient track macbeth. bringing forward that mesmerizing flute solo by italian artist luca spagnoletti yet succeeding in avoiding the kitsch. and with a touch of class. &#8232.....&#8232.....the b-side delves even deeper into ambience and atmospheric muzak. starting with bells. that features again spagnoletti on flute. then we get into the real gems of the album - anstruther and glove. the first is a pure trip into modular psychedelia and repetitive jazzy-like drum rhythms. creating tension right from the start and plays with it throughout the track before decaying slowly into glove. which is in sense both the catharsis and the decompression session of the album. like a 2018 version of vangelis. this track’s soundscape will keep you dreaming with your eyes closed long after the album ends. &#8232.....

auf dem bis dato facettenreichsten und zugleich schlüssigsten werk daniel lopatins. verknüpft der 35-jährige die unterschiedlichsten musikalischen einflüsse – von alter musik über country- und folk-balladen bis hin zu melodischem pop. computer-musik und noch ganz anderen stilen –. womit er abermals eindrucksvoll belegt. wie vielschichtig und komplex sein musikbegriff ist. indem er klangwelten entwirft. die einerseits verwirrend geläufig sind. dabei aber doch ganz klar seine handschrift tragen. entführt er die hörer und hörerinnen im verlauf von -age of- auf vollkommenes neuland.

its time for magaritas. dresdens master of the sampler alexander scharf chops up cheesy germanness for greater good and varying experiences: schlager-upcycling it is. -nur mit dir- is a lovely summer day s theme. the anthem of freshly found or long lasting love. the hymn for the night with your loved one. -ode an die fröbbe- is the morning after. the morning after the morning of too much togetherness: honestly weird and weirdly lovable. in the end -grünalge christian- keeps it all together. thank you. christian. thank you. schleander.
