iro aka sind zurück auf hivern mit dem letzten teil der trilogie, die 2020 mit -el passatge de les ombres- begann. das aktuelle album -planet earth-, das auch auf cd erscheinen wird, zeigt eine neue seite des katalanischen duos. die sieben songs teilen einen klinischen ansatz im sounddesign von perkussion und ambient. stücke wie der opener -14.696- bauen sich langsam auf, während -aquamarine-, eine der singles, eine euphorischere seite des projekts zeigt. diese kombination aus spannung, spacigen beats und hypnotischen schnitten spiegelt iro akas bestreben wider, ein kohärentes und fesselndes werk zu schaffen, das sich lohnt, gründlich durchgehört zu werden. illustration von vica pacheco und design von eenyakee.

subset is the featured artist for the 17th greyscale full-length. named >this quiet earth<, this 9 track heavyweight of dubby goodness offers a consistent variety of spatialness while the atmosphere clearly surrounds you with its innate charm. heavy chords are consistent characteristic here while the beats are strong and favor more of a steady low tempo. tracks like >the rivers are dry< and >trippy specs< are soaked in reverb with an old skool dub sound while >the community of worlds< and >two halves< are another pair of deep-seated scenic heaters. the steady static over many tracks give off a language of communication to the listener that balances the organic elements extremely well. >lucys sky dreams< is not unlike a classic echospace track with tremendous depth that has you on the edge of your seat. a gentle album across the board that still has a reserved serious tone to it. another fine addition to the camp, subsets debut with us is a memorable one.

das album spiegelt die vielseitigkeit im musikalischen universums dirty doerings wieder das nicht nur aus einer gerade 4/4- bassdrum, sondern auch aus gebrochenen beats, hip hop, jazz, weltmusik, gitarren, klavier, klassischen elemente und vielem mehr besteht. es Ÿberrascht uns mit sounds, wie zum beispiel die downtempo-stŸcke timeless, &#769,,,,,luisa way und monday only. zusammen mit den clubbigeren tracks wie black forest, &#769,,,,,burning ham oder high level road und purple disco entsteht ein spannungsbogen, der einen unwiderstehlich in den bann zieht.

luke viberts technicolor-schwenk durch die welt des modernen funk. kerrier district nennt sich das funkige acid-dance-projekt des englischen elektronikkŸnstlers luke vibert. nach einem debŸtalbum - erschienen 2004 auf dem label rephlex und zwei maxis erscheint mit 4 erneut ein longplayer. die 14 tracks sind eine gro§artige collage aus samples und beats, old-school-drum-loops, sehr viel acid-funk und intensiver elektronik-disco. inspirieren lie§ sich vibert zum teil von der legendŠren ep -black devil disco club- von bernard fevre aus dem jahr 1978, die seitdem viele musiker beeinflusst hat. schaut man sich die trackliste mit titeln wie treacle tits und -discuntek an, erkennt man zwar eine portion kauzigen humors, doch sollte das nicht zur fehlannahme verleiten, vibert wŸrde seinen job nicht ernst nehmen. im gegenteil: 4, das auf cd und als trippel-lp erscheint, ist ein technicolor-schwenk durch die welt des modernen wohlfŸhl-funk, basierend auf einer unmenge an material, lustvoller programmierung und fetten bŠssen. der sommer kann kommen.

essential- ist ein album, das ursprŸnglich fŸr pete tongs bbc radio 1 essential mix im mai 2017 im soulwax eigenen studio deewee in gent aufgenommen wurde und in weniger als zwei wochen entstand. seit der grŸndung von soulwax im jahr 1995 sind die dewaele brŸder stets neue und kreative wege gegangen. im vergangenen jahr haben sie nicht nur den soundtrack fŸr -cafŽ belgica- geschrieben und sŠmtliche auftretenden bands erfunden und produziert, sondern waren auch weltweit mit 2manydjs unterwegs. mit deewee betreiben sie ihr eigenes record label und studio, veršffentlichten als radio soulwax online diverse mixe, arbeiteten mit james murphy (lcd soundsystem) unter dem projektnamen despacio zusammen und hosteten auf beats 1 ihre eigene radiosendung 2x2 - nicht zu vergessen die innovativen remixe fŸr acts wie warpaint, tame impala, metronomy, arcade fire, daft punk, gossip, hot chip, mgmt und viele mehr.

nach bescheidenen, ersten acid-house-sets in der legendŠren hacienda bis zu dj-residenzen in weltberŸhmten superclubs, nach einer umfangreichen diskografie mit studioalben, mixsamplern und remixes (darunter fŸr madonna und the chemical brothers), nach grammy-nominierung, eigenem studio in new york und eigenem label (last night on earth), kršnt der britische dj/produzent sasha seine karriere nun (vorlŠufig) mit einer fabric-ausgabe. mit klassikern von carl craig, mathew johnson und exercise one und jŸngeren juwelen von dj koze, dj hell und objekt beweist sasha einmal mehr seine fŠhigkeiten, broken beats und ambient-trips komfortabel neben dub-techno und euphorischem house zu platzieren.

it s been around three years since jpattersson opened up a whole new horizon of formerly unheard possibilities between the worlds of dub and techno. a lot has been happening ever since, and thatÕs very noticeable on his second album. it still has all the signature elements of jpattersson: there s his dreamy, virtuous trumpet play and his witty vocals, there s his dubby delays and heavyweight beats which often line up in a downbeat rhythm. however, besides his fanfares there s now also many folks, many musical friends who contribute to the vibe of this album. there s a track with berlin mc longfingah, latin-flavoured rhythms from polish reggae and dancehall producer dreadsquad as well as a stylistically wide range of remixes that reflect the symbiotic cooperation and mutual inspiration of these last years.

die rohe essenz globaler clubmusik: transkulturelle kollaborationen zwischen 90 und 130 bpm.
nach -they made us do it- von 2011 ist -lost on earth- das dritte studioalbum von andi und hannes teichmann. man kennt die beiden exilbayern nicht nur seit den spŠten neunzigern als nimmermŸde djs der berliner technolandschaft (berghain, panorama bar, wmf, watergate, bar 25), sondern auch durch workshops, konzerte und projekte in Ÿber 60 lŠndern - reine clubmusik zu produzieren war den zwei brŸdern nie genug. unter anderem initiierten sie mit dem goethe institut die vielbeachteten projekte blnrb (nairobi/berlin) sowie ten cities, das afrikanische und europŠische szenen verband. zuletzt machten die umtriebigen wanderer zwischen den welten durch ihr kollaborationsgro§projekt -karachi files- auf sich aufmerksam. -lost on earth- wurde in zimbabwe, mexiko, nigeria, kenia und berlin mit gŠsten wie abe duque (nyc), mc psychotek (bulawayo), wura samba (lagos), santiago rodrigues & signal deluxe (mexico city), sasha perera (berlin), max turner (noland) und dem kunstkollektiv masai mbili aufgenommen. es enthŠlt elektronische stŸcke, die zwischen 90 und 130 beats per minute angesiedelt sind und mit gerader vierviertel, hip-hop und spirituellen afrikanischen sounds die rohe essenz globaler clubmusik einfangen. -lost on earth- erscheint auf dem familieneigenen label noland.

scuba continues his uncompromising scb moniker with caibu, a twelve track lp of cerebral techno, darkened disco and broken beats. paul roses career has enjoyed a unique trajectory that affords his reputation as one of the scenes most forward-thinking artists, label heads and promoters. always the risk taker, his hotflush imprint is credited as a key force behind the evolution of bass music, whilst his ground-breaking booking policy for the sub:stance night at berghain opened up one of the worlds most revered venues to new sounds and musical possibility. today he continues to challenge the status quo of electronic music through a packed touring schedule, various artistic projects of his own and a weekly radio show platforming new material. caibu is his first album as scb and incorporates material from the below the line and Ôold media new society eps of last year. preceding the release, a third ep - engineered morality - continuing to explore the fictional narrative in which a climate-related disaster corrupts a hypothetical timeline. the title of the album itself refers to an imagined surgical procedure where cognitive ability is augmented through transplant from one brain to another. as such, caibu and its accompanying eps invite the listener to forge their own ideas on the development of society in the context of crisis. within this dystopic setting, caibu draws strength from introspection. at times trapped in a pressurized container, at others floating through vast spaces, scb merges subdued hypnotism, syncopated basslines and visceral ambience to find his centre.

shakarchi & stranŽus inhabit a secret place in the universe of music, one existing at the intersection of scandinavian poplands, hisingen forest raves and outernational placelessness. faik shakarchi and daniel stranŽus famously started making beats together in the gothenburg tapas-joint coat check where they both worked as clerks. their now 10 years old friendship is the story of legends, their sparse vinyl output the secret love of deep house 12 enthusiasts round the globe the warm, vibrant sounds found on those records a stark contrast to the stripped-down effectiveness of their marathon dj sets, frequently heard within the more nefarious examples of gbg nightlife.

its that time of year when thoughts turn to lazy afternoons down the beach, early evenings sat watching white isle sunsets and sticky nights of loved-up debauchery. in other words, it s the perfect time to dive into the latest volume in the consistet balearic compilation series. there s naturally much to admire in the now-familiar cafe del mar/cafe mambo style, from the horizontal, flute-laden samba shuffle of the madrigals the ride to the moon and shay lovers exceedingly drowsy black & white, to the warm chords and head-nodding beats of steve cobby s remix of tradewinds by penelope antena, and tropical exuberance of maajos musa paradisa. best of all, though, is mudd s impeccable mix for emma of zee erf s blissful cover of southern freeez, which is one of the most stunning tracks you ll hear all year.

kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flowÉ a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing. just like the sampler and the dj before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. Ôuniverse digs deeper into the android vocal chords. the album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during berlin lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. by striking the keys, kuf squeeze out and serve up all the soul accumulated in those savory phonetic shreds.

the night is what makes a big city come to life. right after sundown, the hectic buzzing of downtown makes way for adventure playgrounds, bathed in neon light, revealing their countless chances and opportunities. its when youll find the subway spitting out its purpose seeking passengers by the minute. a coming and going of restless people passing through. all it takes is a few hours, before the sunrise makes it all disappear. mental bend captures the magic of that very moment in their dreamy soundtracks. if you close your eyes, you can see blurry pictures passing in slow motion, accompanied by their atmospheric songs. grainy black and white snapshots, fragments of memories lighting up somewhere in the farthest corner of the cortex. one step is the berlin-based indietronica duos visually vivid debut album, released on enfant fenou. mental bend are all about letting go. sissip (voc/synth/bass) and hendrik havekost (beats/production) know how to trust their instincts, crafting their hypnotic signature sound, somewhere in between electronica, ambient and dream pop. before founding the band in 2013, the two were already shaping their skills in all kinds of different formations and styles of music. as soon as they got together, they had a viral mini hit with their song take my hand, praised on various tastemaker blogs and generating over 100.000 likes on soundcloud in no time. the bands first long play record one step is all about important experiences and decisions, small as well as big steps, all a part of making progress, which in the end can even be life changing. it was a step, that recently got mental bend their record deal on mos ferrys sub label enfant fenou

zwei jahre lang hat der in san francisco beheimatete produzent giraffage in seinem schlafzimmer an seinem debŸtalbum gewerkelt, das von seiner persšnlichen reise der selbstheilung erzŠhlt, bei dem jeder song eine andere periode in seinem leben reprŠsentiert. kaleidoskopische beats und vertrŠumte synth-pop- und r&b-melodien umrahmen das neue werk, bei dem japanese breakfast, body language s angelica bess und viele andere mitgewirkt haben. der sohn zweier taiwanesischer einwanderer ist schon frŸh zur musik gekommen - einer deutlichen abweichung der sonstigen kulturellen erwartungen innerhalb seiner familie. doch schnell schaffte er mit ganz speziellen remixen seiner r&b-lieblingslieder, die im internet regelrecht explodierten, den aufstieg vom regional bekannten act, der blo§ in kleinen auskennerblogs beachtung fand, hin auf die bŸhnen der weltweit grš§ten festivals.

house music broke through in 1987, at the same time when aids arrived in france with the first contamination peak in gay and drug addict circles. in 1989, the founders of act-up paris knew that both the fight against aids and triumphant house music should be joined together. from 1992 to 1995, the period covered by Ò120 bpm-, house reached its most beautiful plateau even though techno was becoming dominant. Ò120 bpmÓ is a get-together moment through clubbing, this moment where fears are forgotten by dancing with oneÕs friends, what we called Òthe chosen familyÓ at act-up. boys and girls dancing in a club where the walls cannot be seen, flooded with simple light. this is their activist recess. arnaud rebotini, composing the soundtrack of robin campilloÕs previous film, Òeastern boys-, is a recognized dj, a composer and a kind man, which is for me the most important quality. here, his work is marked by restraint of his love for house and after techno. i believe he deliberately withdrew himself in relation to the filmÕs power and the aids theme.

mit seinem fŸnften album auratones wendet sich der detroiter dub-techno-produzent deepchord wieder dem technoiden sound zu und liefert 12 erstklassige neue tracks, deep, organisch und cineastisch, auf denen unterirdische bŠsse, abgefangene alien mitteilungen und verkŸrzte beats den hšrer wie sanfte wellen am strand Ÿberrollen. auratones wurde im sommer 2016 in barcelona aufgenommen und anfang 2017 in port huron, michigan abgemischt und finalisiert.

* back with the heat, chicago native dj jana rush kicks off objects limitedÕs 2017 with her debut album ÔpariahÕ. jana rush received attention for her mind-bending drum acrobatics on last year s Ômpc 7635Õ ep also released by objects ltd. jana started djing aged just 13, releasing her first record on dance mania back in 1996 but having a hiatus from music between 2000 to 2013. with ÔpariahÕ she has created an album rooted in chicago s footwork sound, but with a myriad of influences, such as jungle, acid, soul, jazz and house, developing her sound on from Ômpc 7635Õ. * we kick off with Ômidline shiftÕ whose breathy, clipped erotic vocals intertwine with a pulsing bass and dry 808 rims creating a shimmering robotic effect. moving on, the frantic Ôbeat mazeÕ confuses the mind with white noise rushes and interlocking snares. changing the scene, ÔdivineÕ is sweetly soporific and charming, a beautiful, almost eerie track. the pace picks right back up with Ô??? ??Õ, whose warbling jazz clarinets cut into a juke bounce. the stripped back beats of Ôbreak itÕ give one room to breathe before the croaking bass and distorted acid of Ôno fuks givenÕ. Ôold skoolÕ is exactly what you d expect, its sample syncopated around a feverish rhythm throughout. both Ôrapid fire and Ôacid tech 2Õ are bangers, hitting you deep in that sweet spot. jana brings it back down with ÕcpuÕ s computer noises and sub bass hits. Ôchill modeÕ gives time for reflection after all that fire, but its no ambient track, theres still that chi-town vibe. we finish with Ôfrenetic snareÕ whose amen breaks will have brits thinking of jungle, but it s a different beast altogether
