in the third of the ‘phobiza trilogy’ we are invited through the ethereal haze that separates our world from ramzi’s flourishing kindom. guided always by the deity’s music. we are given passage through the arcane archipelago that ramzi calls home. a place where animals. children and wild spirits share territories and cooperate in harmony in their plight to protect these ancient islands from the ceaseless threat of the great grey invasion. with the night closely following us. we are welcomed to these lands in dusk’s light. with the warm tones of ‘bibwel’ (featuring asaël robitaille on synth) carrying us across 11 different islets. all with unique climates. flora and fauna. after travelling for many a sunrise and sunset we take pause at mid day on ‘det calash’ isle (with some beats provided by regular fantasy). we ending our journey with a final sunset. this time on the foggy island of ‘warhasu’ (recorded on vancouver island with hashman deejay). amor fati (meaning “love of fate” or “love of one’s fate” in latin) comes as the inaugural release on phoebé’s own fati records and is the new nesting place for ramzi and its’ extended family. the record ends the ‘phobiza’ story. following ‘phobiza dia’ on total stasis and ‘phobiza noite’ on moodhut.

some time around 20 years ago. the artist known as dub surgeon made an absorbing album of beautiful dub infused with ambiance. found sounds and horizontal rhythms. the lost future was recorded at the former amsterdam film academy where dub surgeon. the recording engineer for the project was ricardo villalobos. dub surgeon and ricardo villalobos then mastered it together. putting it through several vintage mixers and recording it to 2 inch tape. then. tragedy struck: a storm surged and ignited a fire that ravaged the studio. the master copy was thought to have been lost forever. dub surgeon stopped making music and disappeared into the shadows after just two eps on future dub in 2002/3. but one day 15 years later. totally out of the blue. he received a demo of the lost future. pay attention to this. it said. attached was a demo version of the long lost album and now. finally. it has a perfect and impossibly poetic home on dubais ark to ashes. which is named in homage to the story of lee scratch perry burning down his black ark studio to rid it of demons. sounding as fresh as ever. the lost future is an authentic dub experience with a story as special as the music itself.

bjarki returns to &#1090..&#1088..&#1080..&#1087.. with another ep brandishing five restructured doses of idm from another galaxy. using marching kick drums as a basis. oli gumm takes references from techno. gabber and trance and morphs them into something far less easy to categorise. ‘oli gumm 2-2’ switches frantically between glistening synth cascades and bouncing kicks. ‘fork2-2’ is a subdued excursion through ominous. trance-inducing strings and skeletal percussion. opening the b side. ‘7 filakaramellur lion bar’ spirals through warped vocals and acoustic contortions. followed by ‘hatann satann’. a high speed voyage through a demonic parallel universe. closing off the ep. ‘sleikjó’ uses rolling drums to circle around a pit of sparse sonic oddities.

dan stielow mortazavi has an outer edged family background and a long testament in music starting in his teens with his first recorded project the product that was self released to cassette back in 1983. three decades later it saw a vinyl release on the dark entries label. the debut spite cathedral lp is made with his long-time musical partner karsten svendsen (to feed on others. hinsidan. ate23) and is released with a free bonus 7” on bodies on july 2nd. ultra minimalism streaming from the darkest of places still with a presence of a cold. cold love. with sparse elements they create dramatic scenery. industrial beats backed with something that sounds like hostage jazz and rock drummers fused with the loneliest of themes. epic at times and oh so broken at others. touching topics of man’s inhumanity. paranoid misinterpretations. the fragility of the mind. sex and broken homes without mouthing a single word.

it sounded all right through two walls. so what s the problem? the final words of two walls. the fast and very catchy leading track of dj marcelle s new record. sum up an aesthetic almost lost in today s musical climate. where often a pleasing attitude and overproduced music sadly rule. even in so-called alternative circles. the quote comes from the late mark e. smith (1957 - 2018). legendary frontman of the fall. and is taken from some of the conversations marcelle had with smith over the years. smith is referring to a recording process but for marcelle his words stand for something bigger.

one of our humble imprint s closest allies and a longstanding pillar of philadelphia s electronic music community. billy werner has been a constant presence in the booth at parties throughout the northeast corridor since 1998. we debuted his m//r alias in 2014 with the gathering response data 12- . since he s been busy bringing the grit to points beyond the city of brotherly love. putting in work for the likes of detailssound. l.i.e.s. and jackdept. most recently. he turned out a remix of karen gwyer s -why does your father look so nervous- for the rembo remixes on don t be afraid. as well as another for chaperone s -grit neglect- on the aforementioned snapbackbalaclava ep. written. recorded. and mixed over a period of 15 months. among the methods is in no small part a reflection of the affinities and sensibilities billy holds as both selector and producer. referencing a variety of influences from jazz to dub to electro. the album s allure stems from his deft ability to recontextualize those genres disparate aspects into a familiar–yet fiercely idiosyncratic–musical context. the end result is at once wildly fractured and precision-focused as among the methods finds its own seductive rhythm within a matrix of dub echoes and modulated low-end. it s heady ground.to be sure.as well as the most declarative aesthetic statement fromm//r to date. presented without further comment. the music is the message

following on from angophora s beautiful long player. ken oath is back with another full length lp from low flung. friends of the label will note that this is his third release for ken oath. and it s a fittingly mature and expansive statement for a debut lp. perhaps mature is the wrong word here. as all his brilliant ideas are backed up by a sense of whimsy that betrays his playful side. the music strikes a balance between styles and spaces that could perfectly soundtrack moments at home. in the club. and in the liminal spaces between. danny s efforts at writing dance music still contain the idiosyncratic approaches of his ambient works: the deadly deep subs and endless echo spirals on -rising damp- sounds like someone trying to piece together a drum & bass track after an off-hand conversation about the genre. he s transmuted the propulsive energy of jungle into something no less dynamic. full of stops and starts and sonic pressure but flush with space. -tarp climber- is at heart a rollicking digi-dub. the more ambient moments of the lp are equally captivating - the glassy tones of -frozen coat- sound like a space-age ensemble soundtracking a floating lounge on a suite of glass instruments. while -ocean grove- blends field recordings and dreamy synthesizer melodies to create an uncanny sense of place that unroots you from wherever you re listening. there s a heavy emphasis on danny s collaborators as well - the cold emotion duo is reprised on the spacey ‘hills hoist’. closer -bacchus marsh- is a collaboration with prophets. a cross-state ensemble that defy any easy categorisation. the music here flirts with jazz and minimalism but with a dubwise production aesthetic to produce something that recalls khan jamal s visionary -drum dance to the motherland- in spirit and practice. but this whole album sounds as otherworldly and one-of-a-kind as the aforementioned lp.

two words is the debut release from the duo of canadian sound artist crys cole and australian songwriter francis plagne. building on a series of experimental live performances in which the pair toyed with possible common languages for their seemingly unrelated approaches to music. the lp’s two sides present a single piece that brings together abstract texture and slow-motion song in a sonic space where genre cedes to the logic of dreams.

on ultra satans second 7inch release on hoga nord rekords. the band is developing a new genre and concept: “freedom rock”. which is also the title on one of the tracks. “freedom rock” is a step beyond world music which would be the wrong label when ultra satan sounds too spaced out and out of this world.
on the second track “anti clock”. ultra satan hit strikes against the hysterical swedish mortgage market. how safety destroys creativity and also against the worthless tokens of appreciation you receive from our corrupt and ultra capitalistic society.
ultra satan is like a space being. living alone in an enormously big and empty space station. orbiting our planet. with mathematical precision this genius creates music that effects us earthlings on a transcendental plane and shakes the foundation we lead or lives upon.

body sculptures is a contemporary project that brings together five unique voices in european experimental electronic music today. the formative element is the collaborative pact between sweden’s northern electronics and denmark’s posh isolation. last year marked both body sculptures debut live performance - a highly notorious set at berlin atonal festival 2015 - as well as their debut recording. “the base of all beauty is the body”. the disparate elements that have come to inform the project thus far are further refined and encoded in their new lp. “a body turns to eden”.

“performance”. drenches industrial-infused techno in high definition details. divining a cracked bump & flex from the condensation of a joyride. with a handful of tapes on posh isolation. as well as an album on luke younger’s alter. kristian emdal and simon formann have developed a project whose momentum and reputation has steadily escalated. finding common ground between electro-acoustic methods and quantised club nights.

remixes of the recent croatian amor album “love means taking action” as a one-off limited pressing. tracks by brynje. age coin. why be. yen towers. ctm. felicia atkinson. drew mcdowall. kyo featuring health & safety.

#3 in the periklas series comes from nicolas wiese. a berlin based electronic and audio-visual artist. “unrelated” is available as handnumbered lim.ed. clear vinyl lp in silk-screened sleeve and download. rich in details. “unrelated” is a vital proof of wiese’s artistic skills and a highly entertaining concern. melting electro-acoustic. musique concrète and sampledelia!

whether thought of as a fistful of small change or as a digitally distributed asset. monetary exchange is best calculated for aesthetic ends at the planetary scale. zoom out. and as far as you can. yen towers is copenhagen’s simon formann. known for his work as a member of lower and age coin. “bidders must justify their price” tracks the mechanisms of global exchange and scales sound system dynamics to fit. preserving only the minimum quantity of human perspective necessary to calibrate itself for advanced club environments.

“finding people” is the newest recording from croatian amor. the morphing alias of loke rahbek. with last year’s croatian amor album. “love means taking action”. we witnessed a transformation in the project. its wide-eyed gaze having stared deep into the news feed. reengineering its heartstrings. finding people takes this even further. white vinyl presented in a clear pvc sleeve.

hannes norrvide has had a busy year. it has been only six months since the latest album from lust for youth was released and since then he has released the debut album of norin in the shape of february’s “bakom planteringen”. he has released his collaborative work with frederik valentin under the name kyo with june’s “aktuel musik” lp and the earlier “potentiel musik” cassette album. now he is ready with the second vinyl release under his norin guise.

long awaited reissue on white vinyl of croatian amor’s debut album from 2013. the world marked a switch in the project from the earliest tape experiments and this debut is in many ways a key release in the back catalogue of posh isolation.

“i musik” is the third piece from kyo. a duet of hannes norrvide and frederik valentin. with each release the pair make a shift in the project’s aesthetic equilibrium. forcing a new constellation of resonances. handing us a new beauty. “i musik” presents another wondrous movement in the narrative. like discovering a secret escalator that passes everything you want from a new angle.

“the spiral” is frederikke hoffmeiers third solo lp for posh isolation under her puce mary moniker. and follows where last year’s critically acclaimed “persona” left off. working more precisely than ever. “the spiral” binds the listener in a tight web of sharp synthesizers. hammering percussion. obscured vocals. field recordings. and blistering noise. puce mary manages to at once honour the history of industrial music and noise. as well as transform it.

“aktuel musik” is the second release from kyo. a duet of hannes norrvide and frederik valentin. norrvide is best known as the protagonist of synth trio lust for youth. though his recent solo techno productions under the guise of norin have also been met with critical praise. together with danish music’s enfant terrible. valentin. whose musical history is as difficult to trace as it is to comprehend. kyo is a project nourished by the orbit of two individuals around impassioned collectives.

this latest work from vanity productions is a turbulence steadied to rest with care. and marks a critical high point in the project’s evolution. as the nom de plume of posh isolation’s co-founder christian stadsgaard. there is a deeply private yet fiercely empathic quality to “only the grains of love remain”. pirouetting between his collaborative work with loke rahbek as damien dubrovnik. as well as the empire line with varg and iron sight. to name just stadsgaard’s most recent activity. the inwardness reserved for vanity productions is perhaps a necessary step. that the emotive experimentation should generate such a touching soliloquy is an arresting watermark. presenting only the grains of love remain as the most eloquent work of the project to date.

“great many arrows” is the 6th studio album from damien dubrovnik. the danish duo of loke rahbek and christian stadsgaard. it is also the 200th release on their posh isolation label. marking 8 years for both the label and project. the label’s inception came with damien dubrovnik’s debut album. and since then the two have been inseparable. without damien dubrovnik there would most likely have been no posh isolation. and vice versa.

one of the masterworks of 20th century electronic music. the electric lucifer by bruce haack. originally recorded in 1968 and 1969 (and released in 1970) it is an album both unique in conception and superb in realization. your your gateway to the profound yet playful universe of bruce haack. a -far-out- place where flower-power and inner-space electronics collide!

spoki (ghosts) is the sound of an artist putting their private world to tape. of exploring and pushing the limits of themselves and technology to realise the music in their head. recorded in riga between 1988-2011. as ingus bauskenieks himself explains: my own world differs a little from my friends tastes. and as my father said the collective art is not art at all. the music of ingus bauskenieks is both deeply private and completely alien. experimental yet happy to celebrate pop influences such as engelbert humperdinck. simon & garfunkel or fleetwood mac. it is shaped by the artists engagement with technology and his strive to put to record his own world. as ingus explains. it is the sound of him: doing what i like to do.
