2023 reissue, 140g vinyl, remastered from the original vertigo master tapes for this edition by simon francis, original gatefold sleeve replicated in fine detail
space beyond the solar system ist eine koproduktion von raw poetic mit seinem langjährigen partner damu the fudgemunk und dem legendärem jazz-saxofonisten archie shepp (gleichzeitig sein onkel). sie folgt dem vorgänger dieses trios, ocean bridges (2020), der von the fader als modernes meisterwerk an der schnittstelle von rap und jazz gelobt wurde. die kreative zusammenarbeit des trios hat ein weiteres weitläufiges und zum nachdenken anregendes, herausragendes album entstehen lassen.
phono ghosts (alias of producer neil scrivin - also behind meatbingo) returns with his long-awaited second album released via brand new imprint fonolith. building upon the cassette-raiding, micro-sampling methodology and varied sound landscape of 2013’s chrome position on skam records, solar dream reel is a journey through summery funk, mangled radio jingles, evocative atmospheres and anthemic edit-stomp, all filtered via the shimmery analogue lens of the compact cassette. a sonic exploration of that borderland between the waking world and sleep - a place everyone has been to but few remember - phono ghosts comes back to reality with a selection of vivid polaroids and cassette memories from his visits to the hypnagogic hinterland of the collective unconscious and presents these pure distilled documents for you on four beautiful sides of vinyl. something may have come back with him...

2x12 Inch LP 05.06.23
die niederländische band solar temple präsentiert mit the great star above provides ihr erstes live-projekt auf dem roadburn festival, das von kritikern als -radikale neugestaltung- des black-metal-genres beschrieben wird. mit einflüssen von psychedelic, experimental rock und post-rock hat die band ihre musik weiterentwickelt und neue epische songs kreiert, die die dunklen und zeremoniellen elemente ihres einzigartigen stils widerspiegeln. solar temple, bestehend aus mitgliedern von fluisteraars und turia, hat sich mit -fertile descent- bereits einen namen in der black-metal-szene gemacht und ist dafür bekannt, eine kaleidoskopische atmosphäre zu schaffen, die tiefe angst und melodie vereint.
bliss point ist stolz darauf, den new yorker produzenten duane island mit solar effect im roster begrüßen zu dürfen, drei enorme und herzliche club exkursionen, die elemente von trance, italo und disco kombinieren, um so viel leben wie möglich in eine veröffentlichung zu packen.
RED ALERT EP (TECHNO CITY SERIES PART 2 / CHICAGO)
12 Inch 02.05.19
chicagos underground pioneer dj skull presents solaronemusics techno city series part 2. after detroits scan 7 comes ron maney with 3 techno banger tracks. and last but not least one remix by the smart guy albert van abbe.
solar phenomena continues a high quality and high rate of releases after eps from the likes of stl and fluxion with a new one from mystica tribe - the musical alias of tokyo-based producer, taka noda. here he draws on everything from dub, soul, bass music, rhythm and blues and will always freak you out with his unusual sounds.
this excellently absorbing ep starts with “love is all right”, a fusion of asian percussion and reggae drums that is high tempo and funky. the bright steelpan sounds offset the razor sharp percussion and make for a sunny dub that will get any crowd going. the same fusion vibes continues but in more blissed out and slow motion fashion on “lawn track”, the beautiful cosmic psyche-out that is “ash” and supple space journey that is “voyage” with its intoxicating melodies and loose, tumbling percussion. this is unusual but essential music from an exclusive talent.
the solar phenomena label welcomes achim maerz for its fifth ep. the hamburg producer is an associate of labels like don’t be afraid, where last year he released his mini-album of rough and ready house tracks that are improvised and innovative. the four cuts he serves up here are just as special and have an ethereal air to them.
in my house opens things up with serene synth work and lush detroit stylings. it’s a deep and widescreen track that encourages you to dream. fresh air is a little more upright, with rattling hits and pixelated, long tailed synths lingering above the rooted drums. as the title suggests, leaving this planet is a cosmic exploration, with ambient keys and meditative atmospheres joined by only the most subtle and suggestive sense of rhythm way down below. last of all is two times, a beautiful deep house track with deft synths drifting, bleeding and wandering off into a starry night sky. all in all, then, these are truly thoughtful house tracks.
solar shield kicked off the austin boogie crew records discography with a bang in 2014 with his -reesis- 45 -- so much so that the labelhad to press it 3 times to meet demand. now , austin boogie crew present his much anticipated selftitled lp with 9 tracks of laid back modern funk! . austin, tx, musician chris mcdowell is a wonder on the keys. under his solar shield moniker texas producer chris mcdowell creates exuberant compositions that elegantly walk a tightrope between modern funk and electronic beat music. this quality nine track release features songs created between 2011 and 2013, settling into the modern funk cannon of 2018 with ease.
hell yeah s next vinyl ep is a first solo release since 2012 from the vendetta suite aka belfasts gary irwin. it features six tracks all handpicked by label boss marco from vast unreleased vaults that have already been played by david holmes and andrew weatherall, and it comes with a great backstory
and so solar phenomena’s astral adventures continue into the furthest corners of the technoid galaxy having executed a safe and successful take-off earlier this summer with echoplex’s “solar experience”, the new label continues to explore the stars with rising roman antonio ruscito.
following releases on who whom and edit select earlier this year, ruscito navigates us through a conceptual suite that questions ideas of existence and loneliness within a reality that blurs with virtuality at such a pace we have to question everything. one thing that doesn’t need questioning is the forthright and stark nature of these constructions.
nach zwei alben auf dem britischen label planet mu (heimat von künstlern wie mu-ziq und venetian snares) schließen sich solar bears nun sunday best an. als große fans von david lynch wurden sie auf das label aufmerksam. “advancement” hat alles, was etwa boards of canada-fans glücklich machen sollte. psychedelische soundscapes gekoppelt an modernste elektronik, flirrende ambient-passagen genauso wie knackige beats als kontra-punkt. wurde schon der vorgänger “supermigration” mit reichlich lob bedacht, führt “advancement” das konzept nun weiter. die beiden musiker david kowalski und rian trench aus dublin haben sich abermals mit dem amerikanischen film-regisseur micheal robinson zusammengetan, der das werk mit einer serie von video-clips im netz begleitet. so finden die sowieso soundtrack-geeigneten stücke eine großartige visuelle entsprechung.
die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.
daniel solar is one half of dikso, the excellent edits imprint responsible for many a disco-rinsed dancefloor burner over the last year. the hannover native is also one of berlins emergent talents, a dj, producer, label owner and a&r intent on bridging the gap between disco and dance music, while coaxing the techno-loving citys tastes a little further off the beaten track.
as a child of the early 80s, daniel was strongly influenced by synth pop and dance music, before rap and hip hop caught his imagination and inspired his first forays into production. once he had finished school, daniel became more and more and intrigued with house and techno, clubs and raves, and his studio style expanded to take in electro, techno, and deep house until we arrive at today and his latest release: too much light ep.
next up from the very eclectic rong music is a remix ep from west indian girl.west indian girl is a rock band from los angeles. the bands name comes from a type of lsd that was popular in the early 60s. the initials are also a reference to james and tens previous band, wig scotty coats and wes the mes have fifty years of djing and remixing experience between them but their first release togetheruas wes coatsuis just coming out this month as the first california release on the newly merged dfa and rong music. patterns form hail from texas formed by sammy ragland & chris ornelas in 2000 making a cross between shoegaze trip hop & electronic moving to la in 2004 and forming a full band and have been playing live across the us ever since.
