for his maiden voyage through space, shan (victor shan, if it matters to you, and it should) offers good to me, a pair of revelatory dancefloor productions inspired by many a long night and early morning spent at the legendary frankfurt institution robert johnson. a finely-tuned specimen of durable, architectural sampling, the 12” title track runs a rigorous course of breakbeat rhythms and classic chords while a diva’s pleas are made and answered within seven minutes of perfect primetime rave. on the flip, shan churns through metallic stabs and primed drum sequences for the devious “version 1.” shan spent close to four years perfecting “version 1” through various dancefloor demos, no more evident than in the stunning arc of this sought after jam.

primavera may lifts you from ordinary life: the apparition of rain clouds and droplets blur into a soft curtain over the world as the whir of delicate hi-hats glisten in a muted sunlight. imagine a moment where the most inanimate inhabitants of the earth ghost dance before disappearing into nothing. makker s spoken vocals add a crestfallen hue to the vanished. she monotonously recites her regret: -everything is dancing / everything is crying / it can feel so heavy / before it has begun- a denser, yet similarly sorrowful song, before i fall asleep is sculpted around nimble strings and webbed by breathy vocals, remaining slightly suspended, as if levitating just above the verdant ground. halfway through primavera april, the track is transformed by acid showers, a lead synth lifts off to reveal a ravaged landscape, diametrically opposing the previous peace. the ambient acceptance snow closes primavera with the self-fulfilling prophecy of its theme: that snow will fall, and the world will go to sleep. conjuring the surreality of renkas childhood landscapes, for all its reverie, primavera always orients itself toward the responsibilities of the present. there is an acknowledgment that all day dreams must lead back to reality, that all journeys must be fulfilled.

invisible, inc now brings the aptly named spacerocks into the fold with the release of a 6- track ep that comes storming in from the outer reaches of a galaxy light years away (or just decades past?) into the earpiece of your unwashed spacesuit. it s hard to pinpoint what genre this actually fits into but if you imagine vapourspace s gravitational arch of 10 as interpreted by vangelis with drum programming by nitzer ebb you d be getting reasonably close. other influences may well include cluster, conrad schnitzler, chris & cosey to name a few, while comparisons can be made to contemporaries like solyst, musiccargo, barnt and secret circuit. spacerocks is a solo offshoot project from higamos hogamos main man steve webster (also fort lauderdale, the black neon, memphis industries, dc recordings). the project sees steve ditch his band and strip things down to his modular, vintage and custom-built synthesizer set up alongside equally rare and vintage analogue drum machines, sequencers and fx units.

hart auf den fersen von moonbuilding 2703 ad remixes / sin in space pt. 1 (kompakt 336) erhält das pionierduo the orb nun eine fürstliche remix-behandlung von prins thomas: für alpine diskomiks / sin in space pt. 2 hat der norwegische disko-könig den track „alpine evening“ von the orbs aktuellem release alpine (kompakt 339) neu interpretiert und mit seiner typischen tanzflurmagie versehen – der psychedelische klopfer wandelt sich unter seiner hand zur gutgeölten, hochenergetischen tanzmaschine. es ist nicht das erste mal, dass prins thomas material von kompakt-künstlern in die mangel nimmt (man denke an seine exzellente arbeit mit justus köhncke und vermont), doch diese neufassungen zählen sicherlich zu seinen besten (und treibendsten) remixen bisher. der zentrale diskomiks erhält unterstützung durch zwei versionen auf der rückseite: das simpler tool for dj fools kratzt das streicherjucken, während der short yoga break die beats zur erweiterten atmosphärischen vertiefung ganz rausnimmt – eine perfekte manier um dieses release abzurunden.

oddball space disco tracks compiled from library tracks composed between 1975 and 1978. big tip!! from the early 70s to the mid-80s, this self-taught musician composed about twenty albums of production and library music with generic cover art and titles (out of the way, magical ring, keys of the future, pulsations, more and more, etc.) that evoke interstellar travel. these experimental discs, made with love, humility and rudimentary means, had no ambition other than to accompany other peoples images. by exhuming these obscurities from the dustbin of history, born bad have decided otherwise. archaeologists with an agenda, they seek to give jean pierre decerf the renown he deserves: that of an innovator whose rhythmic, synthetic compositions inspired the harbingers of the french touch (air comes to mind), not to mention some east coast rappers.

drawing off the sound of his earlier work, the space loop ep mashes together the more ambiguously low pass-filtered style of ambient house with the thumping and racheting sounds of space station manoeuvring, interstellar mechanics and cloud-skimming high-altitude plane excursions.

der irische produzent und dj space dimension controller - bekannt von veröffentlichungen auf r&s, clone oder royal oak - veröffentlicht ende juli sein albumprojekt “orange melamine” auf ninja tune. darauf enthalten sind produktionen, die er 2008 im alter von gerade 18 jahren in seinem schlafzimmer in belfast bastelte. knackig, zerstreut und angenehm merkwürdig - “orange melamine” ist ein mit viel liebe produziertes und sehr persönliches album, das übernatürliche sounds und durchscheinende synthies mit einem gefühl von überquellender harmonie verwebt. das album bezieht seine inspiration aus alten vhs-tapes, die er von seinen brüdern und cousins bekam, sowie von künstlern wie boards of canada, brian eno oder william basinski. das album ist außerdem reich an audio- und filmreferenzen aus sci-fi filmen und animationen aus den 80er und 90er jahren. die palette reicht von streifen wie the guyver, short circuit, the gobots und ghostbusters bis hin zu the fifth element, escape from new york oder den power rangers. das doppel-vinyl erscheint im klappcover inklusive downloadcode.

the soul behind these recordings is rama dyushambee. not only a vocalist, mr. dyushambee also plays tenor saxophone too. he even produced, composed and arranged the entire album. the music on here is hard to categorize. the basic feel of the songs is jazz, but you also find a portion of funk and lots of spirituality in them too. if you like your jazz funky - check out this album. if you like your funk jazzy - check out this album. generally, if you like music with soul then you can t go wrong with orbit in space.

mount liberation unlimited is formed of sunbeams, sockerbitar, and swedes ! chance members of a stockholm-based band during their late teens, tom lagerman and niklas janzon found themselves peeling off from the pack to smoke and make techno. dreaming of a global dance music community in which artists are allowed anonymity, the two set out to service this secret society by soundtracking happy-making moments under the mount liberation unlimited guise. mlu s third release, (eerie) for your love, developed organically and inversely from their live set into the studio. in this procedural fluidity, hypnotic live takes animate as tenacious tone, melody, and groove. mlu s method relies upon thee jam, the feeling shared in the moment, and then revisiting that friendzied magic. this dedication to spontaneity is tempered by a naive faith in one another, an unspoken jibber jabber that melds two minds together in childlike harmony.
