octave one announce new album love by machine a year after their impressive last album burn it down, detroit techno legends octave one are back with a nine track double ep that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves. entitled love by machine, the albums name is a nod to the fact that the burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. that is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the 80s, most often releasing on their own 430 west label, which is where they appear again here. say lenny: weve been exploring the theme of connection with this project. how technology gives us the illusion that we are closer to each other more than ever. at some point humanity crossed a line where the devices that we created to bring us together are the same devices that are blocking us from organic experiences.

certain sounds inspire us, certain sounds move us, and certain sounds simply propel us deeply and immediately into a place where everything else becomes irrelevant. the latter is the vein of sonic manipulation that can be found on �what one sees�, sta an linzatti�s latest workout for chronicle. a prelude to a forthcoming album, linzatti has once again shown his incredibly ability to morph time and space to his liking. from the pressure cooking low end in * brink of collapse* to the dissonant twilight zone antics of * just a thought*, sta an works his way through inner space nding the perfect balance of tension and release, discord and resolve. the resolve comes during moments like * nobody observes the ordinary* and * passing ceres*, which harmonize subtle yet intricate patterns with chimerical synthwork. its a vast feat, and a warning bell for the incoming musical architecture that we are so grateful to share with you.

with this ep best works records would like to pre-sent a new artist - luis junior. no stranger to the game! madrid-based luis junior has been a dj and music producer for more than 20 years. in 1993 he re-leased his first 12-inches starting to build a disco-graphy of genre-defying music that pushes forever forward, designing new stylistic frameworks and breaking new artistic ground with each successive production. luis has grown into one of the most cut-ting edge and inspiring artists in spanish electronic music. his versatile production skills are clearly displayed here from soulful and folkloristic influences to techno. the first track on the ep �don�t give up on me� fea-tures singer sobi thurairatnam with sultry vocals and a stong pop-appeal. d-nox and beckers tranform it into a club burner for the early hours. floidos on the back-side is more of techno-orientated banger and with pasion luis junior manages to integrate some spanish flamenco sounds without getting to obvious.

rückblende. der krieg herrscht in kabul. nach einem bombenanschlag steht fuchy vor dem, was einmal sein zuhause war: alles ist schutt und asche und lähmender schmerz. er sieht sich um. nichts ist ihm geblieben, außer seinem querkopf und seiner superkraft, die musik. damit bewaffnet, bricht er auf in die ferne, fremde, ungewisse welt des westens. dies ist der narrative rahmen für die abenteuer des kleinen, kauzigen kämpfers fuchy. die geschichte eines geflüchteten aus afghanistan, der versucht, sich seine neue umgebung nach seinen eigenen regeln zu erschließen - und dabei instinktiv beats von genuiner schönheit rausballert. fuchy ist gezeichnet, animiert, erfunden, eine art orientalische hip hop-variante von bart simpson. aber gleichzeitig könnte er realer nicht sein. weil er voller widersprüche ist. fuchy, das ist der protagonist von -420- und zugleich das alter ego des in hamburg lebenden musikproduzenten farhad -farhot- samadzada. farhot, vor 34 jahren im afghanischen kabul geboren, hat nicht nur mit deutschen top-künstlern wie max herre, haftbefehl, samy deluxe, chefket, karate andi und xatar gearbeitet. er hat ebenso erfolgreich mit internationalen künstlern wie der soul-sängerin nneka aus nigeria, selah sue, der grime-königin ms dynamite oder den us-amerikanischen hip hop-stars talib kweli und isaiah rashad zusammengearbeitet. seit einiger zeit betreibt farhot zudem sein eigenes label kabul fire.

even though �darkness on the edge of ecstasy� is the first album by jonatan bäckelie under his given name, the singer from gothenburg is not a newcomer at all. under the moniker ernesto he already released four rather jazzy longplayers. as pinku vääty or jong tan bäckelie takes care exclusively of his electronic productions. and over the last few months and years he collected international acclaim as a gifted guest singer. for example on alex barck s debut (�reunion�) on sonar kollektiv.

rroxymore�s music is an intriguing, one-off blend of contrasting textures - organic and synthetic, icy and warm - a fresh step in dance music. real name hermione frank, the french musician and producer has a long history making music in various ways, with various people, before settling in berlin and concentrating on the solo project that refines it all.
as rroxymore, she released her epic 10-minute debut �wheel of fortune� in the summer of 2012 - half of split a 12� with planningtorock on the latter�s own human level label. human level also provided the outlet for rroxymore�s first ep, precarious/precious, the following year. the four tracks combined nervous grooves, bewitching cosmic synths, twisted snippets of acoustic instruments and other intriguing sounds. live, rroxymore creates rhythms and sounds with energetic rawness merging with a stirring psychedelia, taking you into a new world.

atrocity exhibition ist der neueste höhepunkt in einer langen serie von highlights: im verlauf der letzten jahre hat danny brown mit vielen hochkarätigen künstlern von purity ring bis rustie, von schoolboy q via e-40 bis hin zu ghostaface killah gearbeitet. für den posse-track detroit vs. everybody tat er sich mit eminem, dej loaf, royce da 59, big sean und trick trick zusammen, und auch den legendären the avalanches lieh er für ihr comebackalbum dieses jahr seine stimme. da er auf atrocity exhibition kein blatt vor den mund nimmt und gewissermaßen die hochprozentige essenz seines kreativen ansatzes herausdestilliert, hat danny auch die wahl der gäste ganz genau darauf abgestimmt: ihren schlangenhaften gesang steuert kelela im fall des wahnsinnig finsteren from the ground bei, mit b-real von cypress hill ist ein alter hanf-fachmann für die tiefentspannte hook von get hi verantwortlich, und mit earl sweatshirt, kendrick lamar und ab-soul treten gleich drei junge hochkaräter für das ominös schillernde really doe zu ihm ans mikrofon, die er derzeit für die besten rapper hält, die es momentan gibt.

norah jones has come full circle with day breaks, her remarkable sixth album which finds her returning to her jazz roots while also proving her to be this era�s quintessential american artist, the purveyor of an unmistakably unique sound that weaves together the threads of several bedrock styles of american music: country, folk, rock, soul, jazz. day breaks is a kindred spirit to come away with me, though it is unquestionably the work of a mature artist who has lived life and grown immensely in her craft. the album features jazz luminaries including shorter, smith, and blade, who played drums on norah�s debut and became the backbone (and backbeat) of the new album.

betonkust and palmbomen ii are back with their second collaborative effort. this time on the dutch pinkman label. six brand new tracks that seem a lot darker than their previous work. somewhere between belgian new beat from 1988 and the west coast sound of holland. a lo-fi nightmare that turns out to be reality. pounding drums, paranoid acid patterns and angsty out of control synth choirs.

the album was written, produced, and distributed in garys hometown baltimore, between 1986 and 1987. after a break from performing while getting belated college degrees, gary returned to performing in the early 21st century, back to the singer/songwriter style of his past. gary feels that the generic art ensemble/original soundtrack days gave him an ability to open up his writing. his recent albums feature guitar, but many songs do have keyboards added to give them a fuller, less folky sound.

the bobby donny label hits number four with a first ep of 2016. after efforts from label owner frits wentink and eindhoven producer san2, this one comes from tlim shug. the low-profile american producer has only one ep to his name so far, but it was an impressive one that came on echovolt records last year and suggested he has a passion for moody and lo-fi deep house.
