lady blacktronika aka “the first lady of beatdown” brings three solid productions with all in vain ep, the next instalment on bass culture records. discovered on myspace by mike huckaby back in 2007, lady blacktronika’s sound brings a gritty edge from her street days, while simultaneously oozing a unique female sensitivity. making an impressive transition from the days when the dj boys wouldn’t let her play with their toys, she runs multiple labels, sound black recordings, sound kemystry and is co-creator of cocaine records, as well as releasing on deep explorer, skylax, underground quality and now bass culture. jumping straight in with learn me baby, the a side sets the tone with a deep and pounding, powerful groove. the title track takes it up a notch, the most incessant of the package, built for that peak-time dance floor fury. while the techno undertones remain, lord knows is a beautiful swirling house number that infuses the ears and body. the common denominator in all cases is the resonating voice of lady blacktronika herself, adding the human touch… a touch of soul.

sound exists to be stolen, cut up, re-arranged, and turned on its head. good sound, once produced, should be preserved for proper arrangement. docile #21 is a collection of elements that have been captured from unique sources and fused into fluid creations. environment and progress of time are catalysts for a creation to form a process. dociles nameless and faceless process works to liberate a new sound and describe its’ own natural pattern. docile connects to the random to pull out patterns, those patterns can be honed down to construct a logical but abstract funk. mistakes are made and processed and reworked into a melody. nonsensical, indiscriminant, drunkin funk turns to soulful harmony with presence and conviction. immature tantrums and rambunchous crunching mask a bi-polar need for smooth rides with snacks and naps.

nice price deal !!! flight to the moon is the result of a year-long journey by dutch producers dimi angelis and jeroen search. it is both their first album as a&s and their first full-length record together. like the explorers whose journey is musically documented by flight to the moon, angélis and search set out to discover where this record would lead them. throughout the course of twenty tracks flight to the moon tells the story of a group of spacetravelers. it chronicles their ascent into the vast unknown and their uncovering of things as of yet unrevealed. what will they find? and what will their findings tell them? the tracks on the album – which they will release on their own a&s imprint – are diverse yet homogenous. they meander, transferring a sense of dangerous and potentially deadly encounter at one moment and then capturing a feeling of exciting amazement at another. most crucially, flight to the moon is more than just a collection of techno tracks. in fact, to think of it in cut-out genres is to limit the scope of the album’s musical offerings. search and angélis aimed to shape a record that would defy their own notion of techno. that journey can now be heard by all.
