almost otherworldly in its vastness and serene beauty, many musicians have drawn from the well of inspiration that is arizona’s sonoran desert, but few are quite as accomplished or prolific as steve roach. an ambient pathfinder and electronic innovator, his back catalogue as vast as those breathtaking vistas – sonic renderings of arid landscapes littered with saguaro cacti are found in good company alongside didgeridoo-focused experiments and ethereal drifts that navigate the event horizon, between the brilliance of space and a black abyss.
reminiscent of philip glass’ minimalism and the kosmische stylings of tangerine dream, ‘skeleton keys’ seemed to fall somewhere between the two. conjuring expansive meditations amongst the impossible tangle of wires that dangle from his apparatus, roach opens portals from the grand canyon state into a cluster of newborn stars with intricate, intelligent sequencing and modular synthesis.
recorded between 2005 and 2015 from roach’s famed timeroom and timehouse studios, the album was fully realized through advancements in technology, specifically, synthesizers.com’s large format analog modular sequencer. organic, fluid and intuitively kneaded into his spooling soundscapes, it’s now to be committed to cassette for the first time, bridging the synaptic gap with a new ‘expanded’ version that elongates the original 74-minute duration.

strong limited to 100 copies worldwide! for his debut lp, martinesque dove deep. it is a project borne out of a personal history with electronic music spanning over two decades long, melting his influences and ambitions into a single piece. bound together by the dance floor experience at large, this collection is unwilling to subject itself to a path of linear narration, embracing an approach more ecclectic instead. throughout the albums runtime, we are invited to rediscover trace memories of starry-eyed nights of yore. we find nods to big beat and electropop, acid, breaks and trance. all over, big basslines recall the sweaty basement jams martinesque grew to love. everything tied up and strapped down tight by the slamming house derivates the man has built his name on. this is a set of transcendent tools dreamt up the morning after. this is packaged and presented to invite receptors to rearrange, reshape, recompile. this is the sum of its parts, and parts might differ.

repress - with vocal interplay recalling the temptations’ work with norman whitfield and a jazzy instrumental sophistication equal to the blackbyrds, 100% pure poison certainly deserve the notoriety that their lone recording has garnered them. as a group of american servicemen stationed in germany in the ’70s, it’s amazing that the album was recorded at all. leaving their base using a forged pass, the nine-piece group turned up at a music industry conference looking for a recording deal, and proving that the higher the risk involved, the greater the payoff, they got one with british emi.

krokakai, an emergent glaswegian producer with a penchant for hardware – largely using an mpc2000xl, sh09, ms20 mini, tt-303, roland alpha juno and other trusted tools – he s already turned heads on labels such as invisible inc and powerstation records. right here he lays down the label s parameters with four unique, far-reaching escapades.

limited white vinyl repress due to high demand on requests. on its second release, the fresh label eating records, native of brussels, embarks us on its most unlikely underground journey yet .the new project includes two beautiful tracks from the deep flows of house music, from the unfamous talented producer from kiev, io (mulen). there s no point in trying to place io or his music in some larger social picture. no need to talk about his intensive production. his successful releases can be found on imprints such as rejected (joris voorn), propaganda (nastia), elarum and his own mulen records which he started in 2012 and that released his stunning debut album within 2013. on flutes/creeps ep, he thrives on fantastic impossibilities including flutes and deep melodic basses. it is obvious that mister io had a wonderful time making the two tracks. flutes comes up as victorious and gallant. it is an energizing shock full of curious noises, mesmerizing musical surprises, a real dancefloor track. creeps is discreet and dark, and remains beautifully deep. this track finds io wrenching as much sweetness out of it as he possibly can, in return giving us our first indication that he is in a generous spirit. when this ep comes to an end, it feels like getting back from a good vacation: the last thing you want to do is re-enter the real world.

re-release! 2x12 inch + dl , gute luft is the result of months of work scoring the hit german tv film 24h berlin - the longest documentary film in history which featured 80 camera teams following the lives of berliners over a 24 hour period. obviously a huge challenge for fehlmann, beyond the scope of the project and hours of music involved in a 24 hour film, there was dealing with the decision making process that went with working with such a large production team. as he shared scoring duties with another musician (separately), inevitably a lot of his music ended up not making the final cut. gute luft is about re-tweaking and editing material from the countless hours of recording he had created. in a sense, gute luft is fehlmanns ideal soundtrack to the 24h berlin documentary.

silverhoejd with axel e is a tasteful result of what can happen when a 16-year-old producer from a swedish small town manages to settle within the colossal edm genre. he has created music that hundreds of thousands of people dance themselves sweaty when axwell/ingrosso, martin garrix and others put it in their usb and in front of recurring times at the world s largest festivals. but living in a city that has been colored by decades of more experimental underground scenes and especially in recent years a very strong ambient scene puts their footprints even in a young producers music creation. silverhöjd is a profound melodic houseware that is mixed by as much imaginative ambient. on the single we hear two versions, one more dedicated dance floor and the other more adapted for quieter moments.

the new york downtown producer/composer returns with his first new album in 3 years!
eighteen: the year of release, 2018. eighteen: the age at which i first used a synthesizer. in creating eighteen i worked independently in the studio, initially building up tracks with synthesizers and found sounds recorded in my daily comings and goings. after working with the tracks over a period of months, i shared them with a few musicians, who added their own instrumental layers. though working independently, we all shared a similar working process: working in our personal recording spaces, as opposed to larger recording studios.

despite the short period as producer of kolpos, the first steps of this argentinan producer have became large strides and his experience to develop big magnitude projects consolidates with great celerity, argument more than justified for platforms as concerns music which bet for artist with a very defined personality. fractal recreates the international connection that techno is living in these moments between europe and latin american countries with a more globalized style , it represents the synergestic link between two cultures and a relative approach of hemispheres.

aar is a project by milan-based producer, dj and designer giorgio di salvo. the first grade lp is his first record under this name, self-released in collaboration with haunter records, the first chapter in a new series dedicated to tonal and rhythmic experimentation. advanced audio research is the ironic definition of this new music course of his, a nod to the large amount of esoteric studio gear accumulated and (ab)used during the years. the project itself is the result of years of study and experimentation with generative music matrices, based on the application of a three dimensional array of variables and unknowns to algorithmic pattern creation. the result is punishing, close to the most radical exploits in ear-wrenching breakcore, footwork and jungle, albeit with a sonic and structural finesse that reveals the producer’s manic dedication. track a-4 is produced in collaboration with somec and b-01 in collaboration with heith, channeling abstract and melancholic vibes into the project. vinyl comes in ultra ltd. edition of 100 copies, each one wrapped in a different hand-printed folder.
