arkives analog features 6 pieces of 180 gram vinyl, exclusive tracks and a limited edition poster, presented in a deluxe custom box. (12 songs).... richie hawtins triumphant return to the stage as plastikman in 2010 proved that his best-known alias is as innovative and as relevant as ever. hawtin has taken plastikmans most classic material, originally released between 1993 and 2003, and reworked it for a truly live performance accompanied by mind-bending, synchronized visuals-a sound and light show like no other, one that collapses the distance between present-day festivals and the uncompromisingly underground warehouse parties of the mid 90s. for many attendees, this is their first taste of plastikman...

auf den 7 tracks auf >pattern & grid world< begegnen wir synth- & vocoder-sounds, schizophrenem ping-pong-electro & nintendo-melodien, klassischem grime, bass- und drum-experimenten und schamanischen zeremonien. die maschinen / roboter / aliens sprechen, singen und erzeugen geräusche, teilweise aber auch eine eigenartige klangwärme irgendwo zwischen vintage dj premier und lee hazelwood (time vampires). entsprechend subtil-psychedelisch fällt auch das von dem bekannten designer theo ellsworth erstellte coverartwork aus

the third and final installment of spectral sounds document 12inch series offers four choice cuts from our era-defining, ryan elliott-curated label comp. kassem mosses remix of lawrences >divided< is a fiendishly tight slow-burner, fitting its ricky-ticky hi-hats and sharp-edged snares together like cogs in a swiss watch. the german producer twists parts around, testing various permutations, and rewards his patient listeners with a dusting of synthesized bliss at the end. heiroglyphic beings rust-flecked >got no place to go< traffics in humid ambience and smoggy gestures, evoking a post-apocalyptic dawn, distant bird calls and all. on the flip, spectral newcomer gadi mizrahis masterful >she only looks at you< hints at krautrock and tech-house while a thoughtful organ hums in the background, and kate simkos buoyant >zhivago< plays ping-pong with a bucket of electronic toms while a crowd-revving synth swell makes itself useful at just the right moment.

andres is releasing an ep on kalk pets featuring three different versions of his track >ballad<. now if you re associating melancholy and a thousand tears with that title, you ll be taught better by the track itself. for this particular ballad is full of positive energies and sings anything but the blues.
uwe senor coconut schmidt aka atom polishes the >ballad<-track with additional beats and insightful words and turns it into a real disco-pop wingding: >this song is not about sex / it s about music / because music is better than pussy.< the minds are shaking. he has proved his sense for slant humour already before on his album >liedgut<.
another potential hit is the remix by john keys & los updates. >los updates< being jorge gonzales, who has contributed the vocals. having played in a popular band called >los prisoneros<, he is a celebrated popstar in south america, and, amongst other things, has been participating as a singer in the last album by >sieg über die sonne<. a finely lascivious party-mix. john keys aka dandy jack & andres garcia are responsible for the musical part. file under powerpop and emotronic.
playful sounds keeping the stroke of a ping-pong game and sure to keep your body high-spirited.

a masterpiece of minimal ambient soundworks, made by roman fluegel and joern elling wuttke for ladomat in 1998.

percussive scottish bagpipe house!!

ltd re-release.. driving techno tracks by mr. chris liebing

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we re gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it... second release up is a taste of what s to come later in 2008 when we drop windsurfs debut album. these 4 tracks where initially planned for release on sentrall but where for some strange reason scrapped and made available as mp3 only. too sad as this is some of the finest heady downbeat electronic music to appear in the current baleric,cosmic blah blah blah call it what you want scene. windsurf consists of 1 part sorcerer and 1 part hatchback, both has records out on tirk and thisisnotanexit respectively and they ve also managed to deliever killer reworks of lcd soundsystem and shawn lee s ping pong orchestra(to be unleashed early 2008). crafting their own musical universeout of layers and layers of guitars and synths, never going for the obvious... well, im not gonna spend more time trying to convince you, check it out at wordandsound.de(paste in appropriate link here f.ex....)

the upon you 006 is the birth hour of the berlin duo fraenzen texas and ruede hagelstein. knowing each other since early childhood they started their dj career together in berlin. by now they are resident dj’s in the watergate club and the two build their studio into the epicentre of the upon you empire, so it is not surprising that the cheapers has become the first own label-act. related to the style of their dj sets that they prefer to play in ping-pong fashion, the fog & frogs e.p. is focusing on the contrast between dark shallows, hypnotic currents and enlightening moments full of fantasies and plenty of inanities. two tracks that stand for the amplitude of their future productions

excellent techy, atmopsheric and dark ep by robert babicz aka rob acid. the spooky a side plods about, with skippy drums, disorienting perc sequences, whilst hope on the flip is deep and dreamy yet driving and hypnotic - majestic and fairly musical, like underworld meets sven väth. already supported by sian, jeff samuel, tom wax, solomun, dennis ruyer, jeff bennett, st. sebastian, dj fex
