everything you need to spread christmas cheer, pressed on festive red vinyl.

a kind of intimate scrapbook of the startling collaboration between the techno maestro and this long-standing musical collective based in bishkek, devoted to the roots music of kyrgyzstan. loose-leaved but balanced, lucid and intimate, it sets out from stunning a cappella and virtuosic komuz and kylak, mouth harp and traditional percussion: not field, but expert studio recordings, using marvellous vintage microphones, made over several days in berlin. further, a few of these are deftly treated by moritz, using reichian de-synced double-tracking, and discreet effects. also two ten-minute dubs: a deadly, signature berlin steppers, plus its version and an echoing, mystical drum session, recorded live on stage in bishkek. and a side-long, dream-like summation: the locomotive, oceanic, clangorous, dread facets. ravishing, rooted, searching music, beautifully presented.

unter der regie von mastermind jono ma entstand das album nach über drei jahren weltweiten tourens (u.a. mit bands wie foals, the xx und tame impala) und erfüllt alle durch das gefeierte 2013er debüt -howlin - hochgesteckten erwartungen.

deluxe book-style package, includes artist notes, complete musical scores and photographs - 2x12 lp + cd.
in 20 years of kompakt no one ever got bored: the cologne-based label always knew how to maintain its geographic and stylistic positioning on the fence. we owe that to all those great – and also wildly different – artists who have found their way to us in two exciting, sometimes exhausting, always inspiring decades. from the borderlands between faux pop and cheerful science also comes colognes multi-instrumentalist gregor schwellenbach, who separated 20 label classics from their dance roots and re-recorded them as chamber music.

imperious spanish imprint deep explorer reaches release number 26 with a split ep featuring altered moods malcolm moore alongside long time explorer bjak (real name brian cullen). bjaks two cuts - >rhythm of love< and >purple fire< - are both produced with typically immaculate poise, but its the sultry nature of the latter cut that had everyone at juno hq swooning. malcolm moore meanwhile serves up the swooping chords and rock hard bump of >love (a perilous thing)<, which features an ethereal vocal contribution from debra jones-davis, who talks about the dangers of the l-word while the lush arrangement works deep below in the mix. jenifa mayanja rounds off a consummate package with a shuffling, latin-influenced remix of >love (a perilous thing)<.

from the golden beach of bali, goa and the balearics. this is beachclubbing,a heady, organic soundtrack of the very finest house music for a decidedly different clubbing experience. the alfresco party is nothing new. back when acid house was just a glint in the smiley faces eye, there was outdoor clubbing, a new and exciting expression of our primal urge to dance to a drum under the heavens. for centuries and even millennia, of course, tribal cultures around the world had been spinning wildly around fire, idol and one another without roof or shelter. in terms of pure, hedonistic, feel-good partying, there is nothing that quite compares to dancing with friends with the sun on your face and the sand between your toes. from the golden beaches of bali, goa or the balearics, this is beach clubbing, a heady, organic soundtrack of the very finest house music for a dedicatedly different outdoor clubbing experience.
