despite the post-industrial label often affixed to factory floor, there is a greater complexity of sound within the bands music that defies such facile descriptions. yes, there are rigid, fixed beats, and other sounds from the manufacturing plant, as suggested by the trios moniker. but there is also an underlying danceability that belies the seeming austerity of the sound, a hint at warmth that cuts through the permafrozen exterior. that curious balance has paid endless dividends thus far: they have been remixed by producer gavin russom, liars angus andrew and no ages dean allen, remixed and released by optimo, remixed and collaborated live with throbbing gristle legend chris carter, and remixed and produced (!) by joy division and new orders stephen morris. its been a whirlwind few years in terms of musical accolades, and factory floors dfa debut is a glimpse into why.

here comes the second part of french team lowkey & kardinals electrovino series!
the first part is nicely rockin the floors around the globe and found its way into many cases (or better said file-lists) of many djs from small to big! the second part follows the path with another rocker called oroborus (the name taken from an ancient greek tale of a dragon eating his own tail !) with a kind of tech-housy but techno bangin feel to it, bringing back the old casio organ sound. followed by two versions of indian summer, one in its more smoother original version and the second in a very nice prime time techno version by kardinal himself!

sie trägt das herz auf der zunge und tanzt als gebe es kein morgen: musik ist für aerea negrot nicht nur kunst, sie ist auch die luft die sie zum leben braucht. die autobiographischen songs ihres debütalbums >arabxilla< gewähren einen tiefen einblick in ihr seelenleben und vermeiden es sich einem konkreten musikalischen genre zu verschreiben. mal bildet techno, dann house und im nächsten moment elektronik das fundament für ihre augenzwinkernd ernsten lieder. als direkte referenzen nennt die venezuelanerin gern klaus nomi, yma sumac und maria callas. jenseits des gesangs gibt es nur zwei produzenten die sie über alles verehrt: titonton duvante und ricardo villalobos. letzterer steuert nun einen remix zu ihrer neusten 12inch auskopplung bei. wie immer gibt er sich bei seiner variante des tracks >miss you< minimal, bassgewaltig und episch. vierzehn minuten rhythmus aus dem bauch heraus, so wie nur er ihn arrangieren kann. auch der berliner philip bader schätzt es minimal und verwandelt den track >its lover, love in eine charmant hüpfende house-sensation, deren sonnige magie einen ganze wochenenden lang in atem halten kann. näher dran am original und nicht minder originell spielt kiki mit >its lover, love<. aereas stimme wird hier sehnsüchtig über einen houserhythmus geloopt und verhext das ohr mit einem intensiven stimmen-dschungel. würde der name witch-house nicht längst anderweitig vergeben sein, kiki dürfte als sein erfinder gelten.

and there is life on the moon! richard von der schulenburg aka rvds brings with > moon oddity< the soundtrack of weekends journey outer space with real house music on laid records 2011. the result of playing his synths and drumcomputers virtuosic like no other is the most eccentric twelve-inch on dial records sublabel so far. dancemusic can be so quirky, wacky, jacky - far out deep inside

creativity is born from chaos. when you allow yourself to give up control, unexpected and beautiful things can happen. after the success of >the face of the planet< and >dont stop, the subs bring you their newest single, the title track of their latest album >decontrol<.
its a slow, sleazy & sexy song that builds and builds toward its apotheosis: we want your mad soul, we want decontrol.
>decontrol< is backed by some amazing remixes from d.i.m., aquarius heaven, & black strobe

supported by citizen kain, electric rescue, nicolas cuer, popof ...
here is the first outcome on junky robot wax. 3 angles of noisebuilders music is explored here. >music quest everyone< is a melodious techno anthem hard get off your mind once it goes on. >fat cat< would tend to be minimal and hard at the same time, its devastating kick wont leave the dancefloor without beeing noticed. and last >maison liquide< brings a gooffy minimal house atmosphear.

>dont let go< sees master producer serum join forces with the north once more for a track of such intense and genuine mid 90s jungle flavours that you may struggle to remember the last decade even happened. this nostalgic banger is run through with the straight up ragga core of dee bo generals refined toasting, famed for his genre defining vocals on urban shakedowns legendary 95 track >arsonist<.

producer oliver ho aka raudive is not a dark horse. two years after his acclaimed abc ep he returns to rrygular with his new release >love is the devil<. straight and facing forward but also back to the roots somehow. that doesnt need to be a compromise. it is a symbiosis that works absolutely fine in case of this particular 2-tracker. like always the englishman knows how to use percussion elements without getting cheesy. a certain reference to electro is obvious but it underlines the typical dirty raudive sound rather than trying to be referential. but who needs genres anyway? club-disco-techno-house-funk-electro - some kind of monster!
