one of the most diverse artists in contemporary electronic music is back on pinkman, with more than just another 12. to give him the freedom to experiment and roam between different sounds, textures and influences, black merlin will be doing a trilogy of releases for broken dreams. the first one - sformator1, is a ghastly and infuriating techno ep. dance floor obliteration assured and more is to follow.

scatcity’s label head skatman debuts his first ep on the collective with ‘back in the zukunft’. after a series of appearances on the imprint, the berlin based producer drops a powerful four tracker that sees the return of ivory on the rework.

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.

for the fourth installation on boogie box records, appleblim links up with the middle east crew to deliver one of two eps planned for 2018. first up. two original tracks by the bristolian artist, vurstep and dream wisdom. signature appleblim crossover sound, floating between bass, d&b, electronica and house influences, with early carl craig/psyche/bfc and 4 hero watching over. on the b side, vurstep gets a rework by shed and forest drive west. always on point, shed does what he does best. a grooving old school flavored bass and breakbeats remix. followed by forest drive west s stripped down, mind humping, feet tapping basement flavor.

2018 reissue. 2x 180g heavy weight black vinyl. triple gatefold sleeve. includes 28 page booklet with exclusive artwork. the artwork includes black spot glitter varnish.

er produzierte the strokes (this is it) und regina spektor, damon albarn, ian brown, ian astbury (the cult) und zuletzt die spanischen hinds, jetzt legt gordon raphael aus seattle mit sleep on the radio sein eigenes debütalbum vor. auf den 12 songs zeigt er sich inspiriert von bowies glam-rock-phase, den unnachahmlichen gitarrenriffs eines mick ronson, der glam-pop-perfektion der sparks und seiner liebe zu frank zappa, prog-rock und weirdo-sounds. und sein gesang klingt wie eine wundervoll-trübe version von peter perett/syd barrett.

chained to a ladder: theres no way up. theres no way down. youre hung on a rung and theres there no place to escape as dino lenny delves into your innermost psyche with this heavy slice of pedigree italian electronica. a darkroom dubs debut from the original craftsman, chained to a ladder is ominous in its mood and tone, dramatic in its new romantic vocal style and uncompromised with its devilish analogue aesthetic.

so low is an occasional night in glasgow run by iona fortune, jd twitch, katie shambles and becky marshall. so low is strictly for creatures of the night and plays music that could perhaps be described by the words dark waves / cold waves / minimal synthesis / maximal industrial / lo-nrg / forgotten flemish goth bands, teutonic apocalyptic beats +++ it is now also a label, administered by optimo music. the third release on so low is a 5-track ep from ian hicks, formerly one half of soft metals. ian also appeared on our “now & then” compilation ep. here he commands his own release and sets the synths to stun with 5 tracks of analogue waves ranging from the xtc bliss out of “character collapse” and “depths of psyche” to the shockwave klang of “chemical environments” and “specter”, perhaps leaving the very best to last with the ultimate hypno, sex slug groove of “continuous”. subliminal vocals. wrecked drum boxes. synths spiralling. full colour picture sleeve designed by so low collective member and acclaimed glasgow artist katie shannon.

entering the dirty art club is like letting an encyclopedic sample curator soundtrack a vibrant psychedelic cartoon dream. conceived in north carolina, fragments of sun-kissed soul and dusty psyche-rock sounds are stitched together and intertwined with live instrumentation recorded in a home studio setup to convey a woozy and soulful experience.

repress of this album by the drummer of fela kuti. produced by doctor l. incl asiko as sampled by jaydee for commons hot shit! featuring remastered versions and ariya (psyche juju mix) as bonus track, which was not part of the original release. tony allen completely rewrote the books on what was possible within the afrobeat genre with his stunning 1999 album, black voices. when one considers exactly what is going on throughout black voices, it is quite mind boggling, as it is almost impossible to associate a minimalist, electronic feel with the massive walls of sound which allen was known to create.

‘the original sound of burkina faso’ follows the hugely successful ‘the original sound of mali’ compilation released in march this year, also on mr bongo. here we have a collection of songs that pay tribute to a truly golden age of music, touching on folk, funk, blues, highlife, disco, psyche, latin, rock and soul.

(oliver mateu), shared his unique talent creating a remix for moodisco. he is the one half of french electro act the youngsters û best known for their two studio albums and singles for laurent garnierÆs label. rodriguez jr. reveals a different incarnation of mateuÆs musical psyche, moving through shimmering, contemplative electronica, to deep and urgent techno, leftfield melodic accents and quirky pop refrains. a perfect blend for this project. moodisco is a combination of artists and friends on the move. they are tireless in enthusiasm and are bursting with new tunes and projects. a straight punch ep release with serious beats, deep melodies and the synth keys we just love to listen over and over!

mister mellow moves further away from the synthesizer-heavy sounds of the recent washed out releases and more band-driven sound of his work on iconic labels sub pop in america, and domino in europe. on mister mellow, greene draws from the experimental collage techniques of musique concrète and plunderphonics artists such as the residents. combining styles as diverse as free jazz, house, hip-hop and psych together with interlude-esque voiceover samples, often pulled from anonymous youtube vlogs, he creates a busy, chaotic, and caricaturish mix that mirrors the claustrophobic, hyper-stimulated psyche so familiar to young adults. as he continues to carve out his innovative sonic identity, influenced by the world around him but unafraid to buck trends, it’s fitting that greene has partnered with legendary hip hop label stones throw records, long a home for beat-loving musical rebels. his approach to releasing music is every bit as individual, too: in an environment where compiling singles into an album format or working with a single video director are the norm, greene has chosen to commission eleven different artists to bring the visual aspect of his fully-realised album project to life. on mister mellow, washed out steers clear of emotion to empathise with the minutiae of the world around him. ive been much less interested in sentimentality and emotion for the past couple of years, says greene, in some ways, i think its a reaction against getting older and having more responsibilities. maybe i’m just nostalgic for a time in my life where i could just relax and block out the world for a moment. though mister mellow is an intensely personal album, its ideas and observations speak to the lived experience of so many young adults, an experience that we come to see as both funny and sad.

love creation 003 broadens the palette further with 4 inventive creations that take in downtempo, disco, afro psyche soul and ambient styles.

after recent releases on the save fabric album, alola & jack trax, mr.c has delved deep into his musical psyche to deliver an acid master-class that s influenced by ska, dub, electro, italo disco, acid house & tech house, bringing his roots up to date with this massive modern production. incidents is about things that can happen while clubbing. down-tempo tracks entry search, a civil dose & quick exit will dub you out. slightly quicker acid fever & stand up will completely groove you & dance tracks do it for me, disco rebellion, shape your dreams, raid, ripple effect & master of the universe will make you dance like no-one s watching. incidents is the complete electronic album that pulls all the punches, gives a nod to the past & yet has it s feet firmly embedded in the future. this is easily mr.c s best solo work to date & essential listening.

back at the counter... same faces, new stories. comberti opens up with a tale from a journey to some far away psyche truths. zk bucket butts in with a more rugged sound... tinny synths, shooting tambourines that cause you to hide under the ground. the faster b-side comes with mattlack and a closed arrangement for high fidelity freaks... layers on layers. sode closes with a track for the simple minds – like me and you... ready to spin?

das album aus dem jahre 1978 ist als lp-vinyl in limitierter auflage für kurze zeit wieder erhältlich! -return of the super ape- ist der abschluss der trilogie von den drei lps -scratch the super ape- (aka -super ape-) und -roast fish & cornbread- im zeitraum 1976 bis 1978 und wurde wie seine vorgänger in lee perrys studio the black ark produziert, arrangiert und abgemischt. die zehn stücke wurden mit dem musikern der upsetters eingespielt, die seinerzeit auch als interpret genannt wurden - auf den beiden songs -dyon-anasaw- und -tell me something good- kommt das gesangstrio full experience mit candy mckenzie zum einsatz. das frontcover wurde von lloyd robinson gestaltet und zeigt den riesenaffen als krass gebeutelte figur, die unter anderem das nachhaltig zerrüttete verhältnis von lee perry mit chris blackwell (island records) zum ausdruck bringen könnte.

alek stark is responsible for some of the finest boutique vinyl releases available. his 808 boxes, dmx drum machine replica and plexi-glass sleeves for fundamental records are legendary in the electro fraternity. starks attention to detail in everything he does is particularly apparent in his music - his tracks are all first class analogue electro. he pulls no punches on this e.p. with heavy 808 percussion alongside a myriad of modular noise and synth workouts. cold, robotic and reminiscent of early psyche / bfc with deep chorused pads creating an off-world dystopian theme that runs throughout this release

ponds ungezügelte kreativität hat die band bereits in der vergangenheit die weiten des psychedelic-rocks ergründen lassen. mit dem neuen album -the weather- haben sie nun eine scharfe und fokussierte platte geschaffen, eine atemberaubende absichtserklärung, die über marathon artists (courtney barnett, jagwar ma) erscheinen wird. -the weather- bündelt einige der poppigsten momente des quartetts aus perth, welches mit der gewohnten neigung zum abstrakten und zur experimentierfreude auftritt. mit dem köstlichen duft der romantischen erwartung und der synthie-raffinesse nimmt sich der song des patentierten space-rocks der band an und suggeriert ein gefühl, als wäre er aus einer trevor horn blaupause entsprungen. wie der vorgänger wurde auch -the weather- von kevin parker (tame impala) in dessen studio in perth produziert. doch während -man, it feels like space again- einen rohen blick auf die garage-infizierte psyche ponds warf, ist -the weather- eine ehrgeizige, technicolore odyssee in der entwicklung der band.

pure rubedo submerges us into the surreal and celestial world of soramimi. this is the new york based artist’s second solo ep on her label, dusk notes. with a deep exploratory sound known for being challenging and confrontational, yet still concerned with being aesthetically compelling, soramimi reveals five tracks that are meant to reconcile sensuality and discomfort, beauty and turbulence. in alchemy, the redness of life is called the rubedo. in this redness there is a warmth and an open consciousness. redness is passion, purification, and pneuma (spirit). it represents all that is creative, individual, and positive. in today’s atmosphere of collective anxiety and uncertainty, it is important now more than ever to transcend our shadows and celebrate our awareness and awakeness, and our vitality. hypn&#8203,,,otizing and honest, &#8203,,,pure rubedo pricks your psyche and disturbs your aural sense of order, and invites you to confront your own subconscious. the a side marches with gusto, telling tall tales of energetic chaos. the b side responds with the allure of more expansive and deeper musings.

(180 gr. vinyl incl. dl card & printed innersleeve) psyche-delicious and accessible 20th century ethiodubjazz. as if john zorn put on fela kuti s shoes and imbibed mulatu astatkes whirls.

the second album by underwater chess is a statement against western world uniformity. a meltdown of rock relics, electro acoustic dialogues and punk dust. from epic and orchestral grandiose chunks of instrumental themes into spiritual vocal outbursts, micro rhythms and edgy overtones underwater chess reach into the inner spheres of psyche urging for the awakening of human existence. a psychoactive substance that should be taken at ones own responsibility.

there is a way to reach into the pulse of everything. it comes when ideas are stripped down to their bare essentials, blossoming then into massive monoliths that are designed with elegant simplicity. such is the path taken on our next limited 7inch, led by chronicle veterans staffan linzatti and new comer to the stable, arnuad le texier. entitled far behind the line, it embarks with a sense of soaring weightless that only arnaud can provide. radar is a statement of futurism, thrusting the listener forward and farther into the in nite. its sonic qualities mimic radio towers, satellites, and frequencies transmitted from the far reaches of the unknown.destination acts as the perfect counter, disrupting the psyche in all the right ways with dissonant wails and unearthly chimes. together they come as a distinct package, presenting an impressionistic interpretation of what may come, or what already has.

the music laurent chanal from lyon creates for the 12- format is as playful and fanciful as it is functional and precise. cilou is a sweaty pulverizing tech dub jam. it s sweeping bass riff sways back and forth guaranteeing the essential climax every time. doudz takes us deeper into the frenchman s psyche as it’s deliciously dark, rolling, wonky, and intergalactic. music for clubs & roofless raves.

hard edged metallic beat techno, shawn o sullivan picks up right we he left off on his last -this coercion pt.i- ep earlier this year. again we get driving, sharp machine music not so far from the birmingham school of the 90s sound with this latest ep. o sullivan has a knack with eloquently pummeling the listener as demonstrated here, the track fully automated being the perfect example as it airs out midway through taking a break from the punishment. top stuff..

six tracks make up jauzas the shining s latest vinyl offering. brutal basslines stand, arms folded, in front of snapping snares, distorted notes bucking under immense mechanic pulses. to help drop the temperatures, to push the punishment, dynarec and raw jay have been drafted in to add their own eclipsed emotions to the mix. dark skies, brimming with rain and heavy metals hover across this record, pin pricks of light piercing the charcoal heaven before diving back into the ink-stained sonic psyche of jauzas.
