yet more italians on optimo trax! jose manuel delivers 4 unique exotic, fourth world, tribal slabs of ritual music. a1, the great beast in outer space is actually an andrew liles track that jose has completely reworked and sprinkled his magick on. mr. liles is one of my favourite producers in the world, both for his solo work and for his input into my all time heroes nurse with wound. for those who know his work, having something by him that will work on a dancefloor may bring a smile to your face. thankfully i know him a bit and he was more than happy to grant permission for this to be released. a2, folklore is fourth world exotica reimagined for late night dance rites. aa1, ritual, is exactly what the title says it is. aa2, sisi leaves the dance floor completely and even though optimo trax is 100% aimed at djs, was simply too lovely to leave off.

“steven tyler” - a title derived from the combination of both artists first names . scud one (steven) and t-white (tyler) focus on the integration of beats, interludes and spoken-word comedy skits delivered with absurd - and sometimes sardonic - wit. it’s a packed album, filled with colorful sounds, spacey artwork and irreverent humor throughout. as a collaborative effort, it showcases the strengths of both its producers, and makes for a unique blend.

new label nagual drift launches with a proper storming v/a, featuring cuts from coastdream, raär, tv.out, newcomer kanyalang and stert. this one shifts from dreamy house to heavy percussive power and back round again.

arts is back with a classy debut, this is gëinst, a very young artist coming from france. his music is unique, literally one of a kind. we are happy to present uchronie ep. when people don’t express themselves, they die one piece at a time, don’t forget it.

opening things up, the sinister title track is a dense, winding affair built around staggered tribal patters and powered along with a brooding reese bassline. he/at’s “set openers” have become something he is known for and this is definitely one of his most dramatic. after that madness, “it’s impossible to describe the smell of a wet dog” strips things right down with subtly chaotic-timed rhythms and synth-work. kind of minimal...but not.
on the flip side, “a drama out of a crisis” is a straight-up new-meets-old techno stomper with early beltram-esq beats and modulated melodies, before the ep closes out with the rawness, “the man who made husbands jealous” is a tough acidic kind of work out with an infectious hook we think you’re going to like.

ltd edition! michele pinna presents a new lp under a fresh moniker and alter ego, time traveler, representing a direct confrontation of the artist s own fear of time as an unrelenting force. the lp, titled ‘i m made of stars / journal’, takes inspiration from conversations between pinna and his father on the topics of galaxies, space and of course, time. these converstions were the starting point for the abstract, futuristic and dark work presented on the new lp. the release also draws on pinna s artistic interests outside of music, presenting a work not just of sound, but one with a coherent visual aesthetic spanning the physical releases of the lp. this visual aesthetic has taken shape through multiple collaborations with the photograpers, stylists and designers nicolas mazzei, danila tkachenko, khourianbeer and cinzia ara

stewarts jüngstes werk entstand anfang 2016 in einem zeitraum von vier monaten, “in einer zeit, in der sich einiges in meinem leben veränderte. ich zog in eine neue stadt, quasi von einer küste zur anderen, hielt um die hand meiner traumfrau an, bezog ein neues haus, kaufte mir einen neuen rechner und begann, ein neues album zu schreiben”. doch abgesehen von diesen persönlichen veränderungen, konnte stewart durch den umzug nach kalifornien auch wieder seinem langgehegten interesse nach -new-age-konzepten- nachgehen, was sich im ganzen album widerspiegelt. die lange liste der features auf diesem album beinhaltet nicht nur beyonce-kollaborateur melo-x, rihanna-kollaborateur kevin hussein, sondern auch eine reihe an neuen talenten der us-szene wie dawn, tosin abasi, ruckazoid, roses gabor oder sk simeon.

auf departed glories gelingt dem norwegischen electronic-produzenten und ambient-guru geir jenssen alias biosphere eine eindringliche klangatmosphäre, die mit worten nicht zu erklären ist. die entrückten tracks erhalten ihre kontur durch den hintergrund, vor dem das album entstanden ist. das bild des covers ist vor mehr als hundert jahren von dem russischen fotografen sergei prokudin-gorsky, einem pionier der farbfotografie, aufgenommen worden. es zeigt eine armenische frau in einer landschaft, die heute zur türkei gehört. the crystal clear yet haunting atmosphere fascinated me, erklärt biosphere, was ausschlaggebend für die atmosphäre des albums war. hinzu kommt seine recherche während eines aufenthalts in polen, krakau: das psychologische trauma der mittelalterlichen königin bronislawa, die sich mit ein paar nonnen in den bäumen vor den tataren versteckte, bildet die inspirierende grundlage von departed glories. diese elemente und die hinzunahme einiger klangschnipsel ukrainischer und polnischer volksmusik formen den gespenstischen, in mark und bein übergehenden charakter des werkes.
