jonas munks work as manual has never sought to radically reinvent itself. rather, he has spent the time since his debut ep in 2000 perfecting and refining the sound that is so distinctly his own - with each successive album meticulously exploring certain aspects of the manual sound. there is an ongoing insistence that there is originality and beauty in his finely crafted productions, even in times when they seem terribly out of tune with the current trends. in munks view originality isnt so much a constant renewal of oneself but rather the creation of a unique and confident style that is continuously relevant.

bella union is very pleased to announce a new liaison with canadian quintet the belle game. in tandem with vancouver based-label boompa records, we will be releasing the new single *wait up for you* on limited edition vinyl 7 inch. led by the hypnotic vocals of andrea lo, the belle game take intricate guitar and keyboard lines, anchored by dark pop rhythms, and weave them into gorgeous, graceful melodies… the end result still retaining the rawness of a boozy confessional.

our first offering from survival and silent witness sets off the tone of what to expect from the full *in from the wild* package itself and album which seems to morph and twist from all out dance floor brutality to musical genius and back like these 2 artists seem to do so often and so effortlessly. *the feeding* is a powerful space age drum-shuffled crowd killer whilst *lights* presents a more musical journey from start to finish, in our eyes it is a very complete 12 inch pick from a very well pieced album. trust us, this talented duo are taking no prisoners in 2013.

für news from nowhere wagten darkstar den schritt vom digitalen homestudio zur staubigen studioenklave von richard formby, der u.a. für seine ausnahmearbeiten für mogwai bekannt ist. inspiriert von englischem prog-rock und obskurem techno, kreierte das trio - basierend auf seiner affinität für hip hop-produktionen - loops, die sich zu erhabenen arrangements entwickeln. das ergebnis ist ein einzigartiges werk zwischen dark-electronica und post-dubstep, das sich mit den momenten zwischen den momenten befasst und sie auf epische, kaleidoskopische höhen hebt, und das in seiner eigenen raumzeit existiert. die reise ins nirgendwo fängt hier an.
