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.

stranger things- ist eine neue netflix-tv-serie, die gerade in deutschland gestartet ist und international gro§e wellen schlŠgt. die mystery-serie bietet jede menge referenzen an die 80er jahre, vergleiche zu steven spielberg und stephen king werden gerne gezogen. nicht weniger im fokus: der kongeniale soundtrack von kyle dixon & michael stein. von atmosphŠrischen stŸcken bis hin zu treibenden synthie-pop reicht das musikalische spektrum. hier wird gerne eine parallele zu dem score von -drive- gezogen, wohl einem der ikonografischsten soundtracks der letzten jahre. der zweite teil des kult-soundtracks knŸpft musikalisch nahtlos an seinen vorgŠnger an und bietet abermals synth heavy soundscapes in der tradition so gro§artiger filmkomponisten wie vangelis, john carpenter oder cliff martinez. die cd erscheint im digipak.

Ôjoy is bbfs fourth album and the first one to be truly vocalist-focused and song-centric. with the help of canadian poet-singer beaver sheppard who played an prominent role the composition, bbf explore what the band-members describe as Ôpost-religious themes, such as struggling to find joy in times of uncertainty and instability. this makes it without any doubt bbfs Ônietzsche album. following on from their latest album Ômiami (2013) bbf keeps moving away from the dark mood of their early releases and the image of a Ôclassical new music ensemble to resemble more closely an Ôexperimental rock band. with much more grit and growl than before, they draw upon genres and styles that are not conventionally associated with joy: krautrock, punk, drumnbass, indie rock, new wave, and pretty much every other Ô-wave from the 80s. with each track offering a contrasting combination of styles and genres, bff succeed in devoting a whole album to a single feeling without making it either monotone or clichŽ. instead, they build on euphoria to expand and enrich electronic musics emotional range

with half a century of existence, beninese band poly-rythmo can easily be considerate as legends of the african music alongside sela kuti and tinariwen. drawing their name from the extensive mix of influences that forged their sound (american soul and funk, nigerian afrobeat, french chanson, congolese rumba, etc.), they are known to be impressively productive as they released from 1969 to 1980 hundreds of eps and dozens of albums. in 2014, orchestra conductor florent mazzoleni visited the band and decided to produce this new album recorded in the legendary african studio satel. with its warm tone and mastery of rhythm variations, Ômadjafalao (watch out) will instantaneously become a classic of afrobeat and poly-rythmo will share their warm joie de vivre with thousands of people

from a festival to a feature to friendship, from techno to electronica to a band. in this manner towards twitter compatibility, one may describe eating snow s previous path, which has really just begun for douglas greed and mooryc, with only few characters. the two of them met in 2010 at a festival in poland, only shortly afterwards the joint tracks -pain- and -morning gloria- developed, which can be listened to on douglas greed s debut album krl. however, dougi and mooryc weren t just in tune with each other quickly, they also automatically arrived at a common sound despite their different musical roots, which ranges from sensual indietronica to powerful house right up to perfectly grooving pop moments.

for the second installment of their mixtape series, hospital records has turned to devonian duo fred v and grafix, who epitomize the label s festival-friendly outlook. they don t disappoint, either, dropping an action-packed mix that shoehorns 32 tracks into an hour of non-stop dancing fun. after kicking off with the guitar laden hip-hop wooziness of cyantific s high water mark and dimension s tear-out beast whiplash, they variously touch on liquid, hospital style disco drum and bass, and harder flavours. happily, they find room to include eight exclusives from a variety of producers, including a previously unheard vip re-work of their own summer smash major happy

jura, the sophomore full-length from the swiss duo larytta, is a galvanizing synthesis of essential grooves and effervescent melodies. it took years to finish the record! christian pahud and guy meldem spent this time carefully calibrating their songwriting to achieve what could be called the golden mean, i.e. the perfect balance between a radio friendly sound and club functionality. the result is a collection of songs that are instantly accessible, yet wholly unpredictable. they feel familiar because they were crafted by seasoned musicians who, over the years, have mastered the science of fundamental swing and melody.

>this mix was the perfect chance to sit down with pinch & bring together a sonic which we both feel we have been working towards for a while, albeit from very different angles. in my opinion the dance music climate in the uk is enjoying a healthy & extremely interesting transitional period one which i would draw parallels to the 93/94 proto era when people were literally making up the rules as they went along. this mix is a ode to that time & our attempt at throwing some ideas out there, with the hope of sparking some imaginations & pushing things further forward< - mumdance

special re-release , nice price
i always like to think my stuff is music for a warm but rainy day . low frequencies do something to your muscles when you listen to them. there have been studies of low frequencies contracting your muscles, and because they contract certain muscles you have the urge to move, you know, to get rid of that itchy feeling in your arms and legs. so that would be a reason to dance. hailing from eindhoven, which back in the day had ties with many chicago and detroit artists and labels. i think what makes music interesting is when an artist incorporates his/her influences and translates it into a unique sounding style. although it might sound a tad arrogant, i d like to think of my music as martyn music . i try not to think of it as dubstep or techno, or house or drum & bass, it s not about genres, it s about music

real jazz-funk with an hip hop attitude. as their band name says, they only play cover of dope gems. rare tracks from the late 70s and early 80s from ost or valuable vinyls

capsize recovery takes the listener on a ride through a very dark universe of gloomy sounds and atmospheres. the eight rather longish tracks of the album are characterized by senkings epic signature sounds - creepy hovering bass lines, clean and slowed down drums, paired with oscillating and sometimes fierce synth melodies and shots. with his extremely deep and dubby arrangements that explore the depths and abysses of bass heavy music, he again is able to create soundscapes that convey a subtle sense of unease or even fear, as if they were the soundtrack to a mysterious and disturbing film

while >sweet nothings< was a balancing act between clubsound and listening-electronica the duo is now turning its back on the dancefloor, to take the listener on an accustic tour through their personal amber room. with their chamber-electro mix, containing characteristics of dubstep, catchy pop-elements, classical string arrangements and and a singer/songwriter like intimacy, they achieve to create new sound-rooms

one of the cliches about scandinavian countries is that they are neat and tidy, well ordered, clean. the same could not be said of copenhagen four-piece when saints go machines second full-length album, infinity pool. the opposite, in fact. its a record born out of an atmosphere of chaos.

good price for good music! what do you do when a live project exceeds its own ambitions? just keep doing the wonderful concerts and eventually head to the studio. sounds simple and conclusive. in the case of karocel, that was exactly how they went about it and surprisingly, all six band members made it happen. though the four marbert rocels, mathias kaden and michael-mitchi-nagler have known each other from their hometown along the gera-jena-erfurt corridor, and the karocel live shows have been well received: an album is an entirely different beast.

tricky is back. back with a new studio album, false idols, and his own label (also bearing the false idols name), but also back in a personal sense. i was lost for ages,he says. i was trying to prove something to people, trying to do something to please other people and also myself at the same time, which is never going to work. to be honest with you, ive been floating around since chris blackwell and island. my last two albums, i thought they were good, but i realise now they werent. this album is about me finding myself again.

slag is a live techno band consisting of equal parts musicians and djs. the four experienced men draw on their experience from record shops dance floors and film-/ theater-music and have the common passion for techno in their neural pathways. with the passion for electronic music and classic synthesizers, they created a sound black as oil and white as freshly fallen snow. the band varies their performance with a large portion jam elements and makes their live shows tension filled in both club and concert performances. a concert by fire slag starts in the deepest dub and ends in a furious techno ballad
