berlin based techno titan frank muller adopts his beroshima alias for a new four track ep that is already been hailed by the likes of marcel dettman and laurent garnier. first emerging in the nineties, muller has since become a techno great who has played from asia to south america and beyond. he’s had plenty of underground hits on the likes of cocoon and soma, and held some key residencies over the years. always one to command your attention with his multi layered grooves, this ep features an old juan atkins sample “buy some shit from detroit” that has been part of beroshima’s live sets for years. excellent opener ‘encounter’ reflects a recent idea jeff mills and muller had to produce tracks together for a not yet produced sci-fi movie. it is an eight-minute astral techno trip with smooth, driving drums and plenty of intergalactic synth lines. ‘the passion of lovers’ transfers the organic beroshima style into 2018 and shows off frank’s passion for spaced out electronica. it’s a brilliantly bumping cut with lithe synths and melodies adding that soul and colour as it races through the galaxies. the iconic ‘buy some’ with the atkins sample then surges into the future with icy hi hats dancing over rubbery drums. the warped synths take the lead and bring a real sense of off kilter energy to this most timeless bit of techno. last of all is the fantastic space mix of ‘encounter’ which is dreamy and cinematic with exquisite keys and pads colouring in a huge night sky as the drums drive things along. this is an archetypal techno ep filled with cosmic colours and serene emotions.

die neue “soul togetherness 2018” enthält 15 modern-soul-highlights des jahres, die teils erstmals auf tonträger erscheinen. darunter sind grandiose songs von cornell c.c. carter, kenny thomas, jaki graham, john reid und james day (in teils exklusiven extended versions), die rückkehr von change und the richie family, die beiden künstler brian courtney wilson und lexi von motowns neuem gospel-label, dance-grooves der newcomer the apx und imaa, vintage-soul von ernest ernie & the sincerities, soul-garage-hymnen von dj spen und prefix one, sowie der fabelhafte mousse t feat. peven everett.

piano day is an official body created in 2015 by berlin-based composer nils frahm and his closest friends to house various exciting, piano-related projects for everyone to participate in.
the first project revealed by the piano day team in 2015 was the building of what will be the world’s tallest piano: the klavins 450, designed by piano builder david klavins who also created nils’s upright stage piano, the una corda. with over 70 per cent of the 120.000 euro target reached, the piano building is already underway and fans can continue to donate via www.pianoday.org.
it was on the 3.7 meters high klavins m370 that nils recorded eight improvised piano motifs in one sitting, which formed his 2015 album, solo.

wan chai records is a hong-kong based label, specialized in rare asian records and quality reissues. after a few years of hard diggin’ in asia, meeting the artists and many local figures of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s scene in hong kong, singapore, and taiwan, they wanted to share their best finds and put them together on vinyl with the best productions ever made in soul-jazz, disco, funk, modern-soul, and aor. the result is a selection of 10 totally unknown gems sung mostly in english and cantonese with amazing covers of classics like “lovin’ you”, “make me believe in you”, or “hurt so bad” in a nice artwork gatefold lp.

drunken foreigner band is a brooklyn-based ensemble that makes a sprawling electrified iteration of the akha and lam lao musics of thailand and laos. the majority of the bands music was learned from cassette tapes of the largely-vocal music traditions, gathered by keyboardist dave kadden on his trips to southeast asia. comprising members of sunwatchers, invisible circle and other experimental brooklyn outfits, they are releasing their debut lp white guy disease on electric cowbell records.

klasse co-boss mr. ho steps up to the plate and knocks it out of the park with a new ep of brand new and original material. inspired by listening to various library music and funk records found whilst digging in asia, the hong kong based artist lays down three tracks of boogie-disco and funk inspired house music. funky walking basslines, eerie 1980 s synthetics and spacey snares make for a total tip!

2lp gatefold, incl dl card , there are some records that manage to sound both of a time and utterly timeless and bon voyage organisation s jungle? quelle jungle? (a nod to supertramp s crisis? what crisis?) is one of those albums. its silken-smooth production, irresistible grooves, funk-tinged guitars, lush soundscapes and general glowing presence could easily lead one to believe that have dug up a lost disco gem from the 1970s. however, behind the disco-pop gleam lies eerie dystopian sci-fi ruminations of a futuristic bent and tones that can often feel as french as they do asian or african. this sort of cross-continental exploration is an expansion on bvo s previous two eps, the man behind the organisation, adrien durand, says. -i tried to continue the musical expedition between dystopian science-fiction haunted africa - plus haitian vaudou on -soleil dieu- - and futuristic asia. addressing, in a double entendre manner, some of the political issues that i am sensitive to.- in fact the jungle in question in the album s title is a metaphorical one and one that creates a vast series of environments for durand to explore such subjects as world trade, utopian ideals and themes of idols, as well as of time and communication. however, one will need to speak french to decipher such explorations, as well as shake off the natural impulse to move with every glorious beat on its 13 tracks, of which are moved along by maud nadal and agathe bonitzer s golden vocals.

following the success of the retro-zouk mixtapes series (4 volumes / 15k plays on soundcloud), secousse radio proudly presents its first official vinyl reissue of a long lost zouk banger. originally released in 1993-1994, those two tracks have been road-tested in various clubs and parties for months and the feedback is clear: its dancefloor devastation business. their author is jules henri malaki, an established and self-produced artist from guadeloupe. as the popularity of zouk music keeps growing every day in europe, america and asia, just whisper the name makiyaj to any of the best djs from the current tropical diggers scene and watch their eyes scintillate. this secret weapon shall not remain secret very long.

dope plates 005 brings retro flavours from some of the scenes freshest talent. north london based sicknote delivers a beautiful rolling track called -2000 ad-. east asia based brit scape comes with some serious ambient amen pressure with -escapism- and u.s producer mark kloud ends the release with his superb track -strength-.

formed of laura lee on bass, mark speer on guitar, and donald “dj” johnson on drums, khruangbin’s sounds are rooted in the deepest waters of world music infused with classic soul, dub and psychedelia. their 2015 debut album ‘the universe smiles upon you’ was heavily influenced by 60’s and 70’s thai cassettes the band listened to on their long car journeys to rehearsal in the texan countryside. ‘con todo el mundo’ takes inspiration not just from south east asia but similarly underdiscovered funk and soul of the mediterranean and the middle east, particularly iran.

with time spent away developing his studio, methods of mixing, as well as acquiring a small stash of new hardware, the resulting ep - inspired by recent travels to south east asia - effuses all these elements and passions together with that signature raw m.t. knack for organic percussion, heavily washed synths and pulsating rhythms.
