“choose life” is both the album apostille chose to make and had to make. he dialled down the clown. built up a new-found confidence in his voice and melody in general and began to feel more at home in the refuge of pop music (with a capital p). as kasparis explains “choose life began as a chronicle of a bad time. many of the songs were written as some sort of catharsis. an escape from a tumultuous couple of years. the album title was intended as ironic at first but as the writing process went on the album began to feel more playful. i was finding revelatory threads in it i hadn t intended. choose life became an imperative.” all the truest pop music speaks to us of escape and through this new album apostille allows its transformative power to fully manifest. it’s an album full of life and energy. as disobedient as it is heroic in its pursuit of liberation.

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!

charlois welcomes back label inaugurator dollkraut. this time in company with de ambassade. the label grants permission for them to share this 10 and create their own world. so they can coexist and share stories about lost love. condolence and isolation. on the a side they come together in a dark room anthem about sex. lust and worship. it oozes with cold. heart-stabbing melancholia. yet carries the artists idiosyncratic warm and crunchy sound. the flip side scratches open the wounds left by the first song and sees dollkraut drop his soft touch. what follows is a hypnotic voodoo track. summoning dark spirits with unsettling synths. shamanic vocals and tribal jewish harp.

vive la void is the new solo project of sanae yamada. co-founder and keyboard player of moon duo. yamada wrote and recorded the self-titled debut album over roughly a two-year period. during windows of downtime in moon duo’s substantial touring and recording schedule. the dense. shape-shifting atmospheres of the seven songs grew out of late-night basement experiments in the layering of synthesizer tracks. a process that also led to meditations on the changeable nature of memory and perception. the result is an undulating blend of ethereal swirl. low end thrumming. and electric crackle. buoyed by yamada’s understated but captivating vocal melodies and her striking lyrics.

the beacon crowns ashurst hill in dalton. lancashire. looming over the verdant english countryside nearly six hundred feet above sea level. this spartan brick monolith was erected in 1798 as a watch tower to warn of french invasion during the napoleonic war — & there it silently remains. keeping infinite vigil. it stands in tess roby’s mind. the beacon calls to her. “throughout my life i have felt the pull to return to it.” she says. “i’m beckoned by father’s roots & by the sullen landscape of fields leading to the coast.”
