minus has released a first rate selection of home grown artist albums over the past 18 months, with heartthrob, false and gaiser all creating long players of real substance and this trend is set to continue in 2009 with arguably the label’s most significant release of recent times. louderbach’s long awaited second album autumn represents another jump in the evolutionary cycle of minimal techno, having developed from the largely instrumental project that gave us enemy love into a fully-fledged song based outfit. as a result, autumn has a much deeper feel than its predecessor and indeed breaks new ground, with the dark metaphors of gibby miller’s often chilling vocal performances fitting hand-in-glove with the ominous landscapes and broken architecture that troy pierce constructs so effectively. drawing on shared influences such as bauhaus, coil and joy division, the duo have conceived an album of emotional depth and exquisite detail, appropriating the best elements of these early-eighties pioneers and reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens to achieve a perfect balance of style and content. it’s the result of an unspoken understanding that spans thousands of miles from their respective homes in l.a. and berlin and this distant intimacy is a naturally occurring theme throughout the album, manifesting itself as dark, twilight tales of melancholy romance, burning obsession and the slow, disintegration of desire

ricardo villalobos playlist!! the endless white of the far north. the opening melodies of adam marshalls >north at night< can be heard faintly over the whistling wind. a small black dot appears at the centre of the distant horizon. at first it appears to be still, but gradually we recognize movement. over the next few minutes the shape begins to grow until it has defined the image of a man walking towards us. as he approaches, the music grows clearer. like the warmth of the first sunlight >rose mountain< radiates its glow through the use of a flurry of rhodes electric piano chords. adams signature percussion permeates the dub and binds its elements into an infectious groove. >mfb flex< is the counter balance to the organic flow of the other cuts and molts the warmth into a techno roller designed for the long player mix. marshall said… >ive long been intrigued by that incredible tapestry of tundra and taiga which constitutes the arctic and sub arctic of our country. ive read about it, written about it and even pulled up my parka once and gone there, yet, like all but a very few canadians, ive had no real experience of the north. ive remained, of necessity, an outsider. and the north has remained for me a convenient place to dream about, spin tall tales about, and in the end, avoid<

makaton and inigo kennedy explore the wider industrialized areas of techno country.

>in deep tubes< is the title of the debut on thirtyonetwenty from italian wonderkid ilario alicante. ilario took the danceworld by storm when he released the amazing >vaccaciones en chile<. since then he s followed up with releases on sci-tech & cecille. in deep tubes bears all the hallmarks of a future ilario classic. mysterious muted distant trumpet calling out over deep rolling bassline, manic vocal cut ups and a massive infectious groove. barcelonas lover is ilarios tribute to the spanish cities alure and charm. ilario has blended a phat dancefloor groove with a deep sensual jazz melody thats pure sax baby !

superb new ep from chris carrier with jazz paterns & old school influence. played by dj sneak, kreon, dyed soundorom, dan ghenacia, djulz, italoboys, jt donalson, mark farina, luciano...

dj dealer & lisa millett are on fire!!! the third single from dj dealers highly acclaimed album joyride is a gospel tinged vocal featuring londons finest, lisa millett. the pair loved this project so much that they recorded two separate lead vocals for the song. the main mix and the tribute mix are the fruits of these labors. nycs jon cutler delivers some outstanding peak hour remixes, and up and coming producer/remixer, uncle milty, drops some serious heat. uncle milty is a resident at chicagos legendary night boom boom room - this party has been going strong for over 17 years and now milty is flexing his mighty studio muscles. this is just the first of many outstanding things you will be hearing from uncle milty!

incl rmxs by jay haze & ernesto ferreyra !! lomidhigh unlmtd is a platform for non earthly music and frequencies from distant galaxies, that has echoed down onto us here at planet earth. the label aims to release music that knows no boundaries. to create a home for a label that doesnt contain itself to one genre or time. music that experiments and pushes its own limits into new and undiscovered musical territories. taking influences from the past, and presenting them in a new form. lomidhigh unlmtd has its sights set on the endless limits of the universe, in which it can roam freely and not be contained by gravity or any other earthly presence. the main concept behind the label is to not pigeonhole itself. expect the unexpected. its aim is to give record stores a rough time deciding which genre to put the releases under. at a time where the world is in dire shape, we feel its time to get away from the world and float into outer space. once named the final frontier, the universe knows no limits. the perfect place to surf through the milky ways to distant galaxies, to hear moments of the past echoing into the future. lomidhigh unlmtd is stoked to present its first release. monotaxs debut, the argentinean band formed by dilo (aka elephant pixel), imi and zooey.

big with: xpansul, mandy, chris fortier, alexi delano, chris fortier, angel molina, miss kittin, iñaqui marín, maurice aymard, davide squilache, jay x, joy kitikonti, djulz,.. after a few months completely absorbed by pulshar, the dub project he shares with aphro, pablo bolívar comes back to regular with his most characteristic output: emotional electronica. and he does so with a powerfull and subtle ep. scifi winter tales: cold, fragile and deep techno. memories of a distant future... shadow machines : pablo keeps the pace at a cruising speed with a classy tracks only him knows how to do. but attention: at half track some strange arrangements appear. deep space sounds that send the music to another dimension

this three track ep starts with the title track >walking alone<. showcasing mike’s attention to the deepest details, this track begins with warm, fuzzy chord sequences onto which a multi-layered framework of tones and textures are laid. crisp beats mesh with hypnotic bass pulsations, inviting the listener to lose himself in the sound. proper deepness here - for those who seek the essential elements and nothing more, rhythm, melody, bass line, emotion.. expertly produced, >passing tunnels< goes further below the surface as icy chords meet electrified analog stabs, enveloped in cavernous reverbs and shimmering delays. this is a dark, simmering groove for those who know the rare and precious value of a deep, unpretentious tune that can move you from the inside out. take time and listen - there’s no denying the vibrations here. and finally, rounding off the ep is label boss patrice scott’s rework of >walking alone<. properly titled the >atmospheric remix<, p. scott takes the track to another level. while keeping the basic elements of the original, p. scott adds spacey, vibrant melodies to extenuate his version taking you on a journey to a distant planet while on the dance floor.

yore returns with a true dream team split ep, pairing yore label head andy vaz with sistrum manager patrice scott. vaz is up first with a beautiful slice of old-school funk and soul within a deep house formula, >back to square one< that has a whole lot more in common with isaac hayes and james brown than with juan atkins or any other techno icon. accompanied by a wah-wah guitar figure and claps, a bullet-proof bass line leads a nine-minute charge thats quickly bolstered by a slinkily swinging drum groove. creamy synth chords and blazing horns intermittently spill over the pulsating mix and then vanish, leaving space for the rhythm to intensify and the track to grow ever more euphoric (and even, towards its close, a bit acidy). a true mission into both funk and house, which again showcases vazs ultimate diversity as an outstanding producer. scott titled his second sistrum release beyond deep and the title might just as easily apply to the b-side >aztecal< where the detroit producer slathers shimmering stabs and congealing streams over a thudding kick drum and flickering percussive detail. while vazs cut draws inspiration from the timeless traditions of decades past, scotts looks towards the future when its gleaming shuttle lifts off in pursuit of distant galaxies.

the man behind chymera is brendan gregoriy. releasing music since 2005, the producer from dublin already has an impressive discography with releases on labels such as delsin or ovum. >ellipsis< and >eulogy< are sonic epics that never cease zu fascinate the listeners. they manage to be bold and sophisticated, powerful and elegant at the same time. they transform the dancefloor in an maelstrom with no way out, and yet they never give their electronic cool away, they always remain subtle and somewhat distant. the sounds form an imaginary landscape, they are a projection surface for one s desires

3 classic and rare chicago cuts plus another recent, searched after house anthem...

duffy is possibly the most exciting prospect for 2008. her ascent from the llyn peninsula to 2008s pole position continues as the 23 year old releases her debut album rockferry. a masterclass in mature, resonant pop, the album includes the singles mercy and rockferry. her soulful voice has already beguiled many of the nations musical tastemakers and news of its beauty and of the strength of her songs is spreading by word of mouth now, as the comparisons fly (dusty springfield has emerged as the favourite), its time to discover her for yourself. duffy was born and spent her childhood years in the north wales coastal community of nefyn, a place too remote to be driven by style wars or opposing music factions. the upbringing she describes is one in which everyone had to rub along together, making do and mending, accepting each other and their tastes without prejudice.

unearthly trance emerged from the nyc underground as a doom outfit and morphed into a distinct metallic beast on their new album electrocution. an epic, impassioned piece of work, electrocution oozes with mysticism and a palpable sense of purpose behind an imposing wall of gut level riffing, canyons of low end and pounding drums. unearthly trance give no quarter in their spiritual war and forges their own sonic path with the awe inspiring electrocution. unearthly trance has previously released two critically acclaimed full lengths on lee dorrians rise above records as well as a single on greg andersons southern lord records.

you re the one is the first single taken from his forthcoming album as high as the sky which will be released on wagon repair in may. baby you re the one is fast out of the blocks with racing percussion and a plunging bass loop. a piercing metallic tone encircles a distorted vocal sample as subtle melodies rise to the surface of the mix, steadily intensifying to climax. on the flip side, crackbeat is a darker animal. kindling wild percussion carries an eerily distant key melody that supports a rich synth siren. teeming with activity, the synth melody is trailed by bubbling bass tones as a feral percussive drive chases to close.

fenou - the sublabel of mos ferry prod. for more experimental tracks between minimal and electronica leaves the path of releasing only minicompilations with fenou05. kadebostans >grand theatre e.p.< is an homage to fantastic voices from a distant place, as it seems. with his first ep on freude am tanzen he already showed that his music is a melange of longingly melodies, melancholic vocals and minimal instrumented electronics

the original track is a deep grooving houser with soulful vocals and some funky guitars. on the a side distant soundz and lee neilson transform the track into a slamming electro flavoured peaktime bomb.

played by anja schneider , tiefschwarz ... voodeux is the deep techno moniker of tanner ross & kilowatts (from dirtybird.) on >the curse< ross & watts expand their catalog of sound beyond the funk and into the sublime. instead of swiggles and bounce, we get creeping basslines and chilling echoes. with >thriller< as a distant relative, side a1 makes for the graveyard, zombies in tow, and as the track matures, so do the chills on the back of your spine. >the spell< goes one step further, taking the sound of a distant train, shards of ghoulsound and an ancient wind under a pulsing beat and chiming melodies. its halloween on wax. mike shannon, founder of cynosure and master of all things trippy, puts his own well-crafted stamp on this dark sound. shannon has recorded for ~scape, force inc. and many more. and no ones gonna save you from the beats about strike

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves

der hello repeat labelchef erweitert sein revier. nach cocoon & harthouse wird nun das kahlwild markiert. nachhaltiger minimal den man auch in monaten noch riechen kann

already hammered by the knee deeps everywhere, this regularly blasted whole clubs in distant galleries and had dancers boppin from one to another star. with this funky house goodie in your back, full floor frenzy ain t no rocket science

remixed by sebastian ingrosso / steve angello and jerry ropero / denis the menace, as the sun sets on another summer, and the golden sandy beaches are just a distant hazy memory, the swedish based joia label refuse to lie down and surrender, delivering hot new mixes of steve lawler's 'my sound'. after causing a major buzz when the limited (and now deleted!) one-sided original floated across from the ibiza shores, this hefty piano-infused beast is given a thorough reworking from all angles from a five-star lineup

this amazing 4 track ep combines slamming distorted 808 beats, electric harmony and distant melodies.. supported by david caretta, tommie sunshine and mark verbos..

we re arrived to the tenth chapter of greyscale story. it s definitely a milestone for us. for this special occasion label boss grad_u is back with umwelt , his first full length album since Òendless spaceÓ that was released back in 2012.

greyscale unveils its latest long player masterpiece! mood series regular altone, has had four eps credited to himself on the label in the past year alone. >forest land< is his first full length and its a deep journey with ten tracks of some of the strongest and most high-quality dub techno in the business. >hunt< & >ethereal night< are not for the faint of heart. these are some of the headiest and immersive tracks we have heard yet at the label. then there is >oak< & >pinecone< which hone in on and harken to a lost age of traditional dub from the mother land. enjoy being transported with >flying leaves< & >downpour< as they give off impressions of scenic landscapes from distant memories. altone then adds a good dancefloor number for those house lovers in the addictive groove >cold ground<. >pebble< is reminiscent of some of the best of intrusion with its gentle waves of chords that surround you like a warm blanket on a cold winters night. lastly, >morning dew< is a standout crescendo bringing the album to a triumphant closing is pure class. >forest land< is guaranteed to have something for everyone and to also impress the most hardened dub techno critics as well. altone is proving he is a name to keep an eye on!

2021 repress ! the album itself features ten new tracks of pure legowelt music mainly recorded in de hague in the past year, but also on the road during tours of la, the californian desert, tokyo (which spawned crystal cult 2080) and tejada gran canaria (where the future of myself was written.) where his last album the paranormal soul was an organic trip into misty forests, this one seems more concerned with medieval spirits its deeper, darker and the whole thing is tied together by a more coherent sense of ancient alchemy

standard cd im softpack mit artwork von lee marshall. having recently made his inaugural outing on brainfeeder with aphelion ep, british producer ross from friends aka felix clary weatherall returns with his debut album on flying lotus label. family portrait is characterised by a perpetual desire to experiment and felixs obsessive attention to detail, somehow marrying an intricately layered production style with warm, heavily saturated sonics that elevate, rather than stifle, his melodious funk. with a handful of revered 12inches under his belt via breaker breaker, lobster theremin, distant hawaii, magicwire and a 10inch on molten jets. family portrait showcases his ability to shift and evolve, moving from the world of lo-fi to the world of flylo

travel agents for inner journeys seahawks take us on a voyage ever deeper into the new age vortex. their last album escape hatch described by vice as a modern masterpiece only hinted at the transcendent power of seahawks music. eternal beams goes further to create a whole new harmonial experience. side one: the listener immersed in a soft storm of tape saturated raindrops and distant thunderÉnuminous waves of sound cascade to create whirlpools of womb-like warmth with gentle pulsations. side two: enter laraajiÉ flocculent flows of golden zither, rich vocal vibrations, dolphin tones in phantasy phase - all coalesce generously, bringing feelings of rebirth and light. to conclude: a wondrous journey of resonant oscillations, inner exploration, a portal to other dimensions.

with situational awareness, post-punk legends crash course in science deliver an album consisting entirely of brand new material. the songs on situational awareness sound crisp and ultra-fresh, while the band from philadelphia, usa, maintains their distinctive diy sound created by toys, kitchen appliances and self-built synths. far beyond new wave, the music is experimental and danceable at the same time - science and art, together hand in hand. the cd edition contains a remix of im here to tease as a bonus track, not available on the vinyl album.

damon wild and david sumner (aka functions) relationship dates back to 1991 at lord michaels future shock, limelight, new york city when damon was running experimental records via northcott productions. at the time, he first saw something in dave and added him to brand x, a record pool run by moneypenny. but their bond is based around a period 5 years later when dave had an apartment above rogue music at 251 west 30th street in midtown, manhattan. it was during this time damon developed him as a synewave artist and released his first ep as function in the fall of 1996 catalog number sw-24. falling in and out of touch over the years, across continents, the two have somehow remained on the same cosmic path. so itÕs not a coincidence that now damon has turned to dave to release his first album in 13 years, during the time he is reissuing that first synewave ep on recompiled i/ii & ii/ii (a-ton lp02/03). this is where those paths cross again. 21 years later, this fall, dave will release cosmic path on infrastructure. the cosmic connection.

on limited edition compact disc. generated instinctively in the moment from resampled chunks of previous output sandwiched between unheard waveforms from a distant future whilst underwritten by voltage controlled rumblings from actual synthesisers than can be seen and touched and wrecked by roadies. traversing known knowns and unknown knowns from drone to drone. harvesting new and slightly less new artefacts of the digitaux variety and crash landing in the ghetto of the lysergic jungles visited by g@ng5tas of yesteryear, all for your personal enjoyment. performed live at the red rattler in sydney, australia on the 16th of april 2017 for the strange signals / house of mince crews, the performance is slightly more than just the insane ejaculations of an unhinged mind, but a true insight into one of the internets least popular twitter accounts.
