greyscale s next full-length release come from german based artist audhentik. titled hypno , this album encompasses 14 pieces that dive deep into a heavily-based synthetic world of atmospheric ambient and dub. imagine if you took some amazing pictures of a desert island then put on a pair of ambient dub filtered glasses on. a picture-esque nature beach scene has been processed so heavily that they evoke memories of a place you have been before. this is a true artistry in ambience. perspectives combines a wonderful balance of field recordings with washed out chords of grandeur. breathtaking and majestic like looking down on to a city from an amazing view off a mountaintop. period explores an off-kilter dub rhythm while feeling stuck in a languid moment of disorientation as the track disperses the tension near the end. that astounding build leads perfectly in to the title piece. hypno is a 9+ minute journey deep into the abyss with a track of pure aural pleasure. epic is an understatement here. a standout among many other standout s here. infinite edit is one of the key interlude s that link the tracks together on the album. this one provides a thinner airier stratosphere then the previous ones giving you a chance to catch your breath as you prepare for another trek into the depths of static . this one has you feeling adrift in a nautical theme of optimism through the arduous recent events of a shaky future. a wonderful storytelling is evolving on hypno ...

cd powder is an alchemist of time. her ceremonious dj sets invite listeners and dancers to extend their imaginations to abstracted spaces, while allowing the body to vessel the voyage in free, flowing style. playful, thoughtful, and natural without knowing, powderÕs crates encourage abandonment of arbitrary boundaries and expectations surrounding genre, movement, schedule, and societal convention to revel, spirited and harmonious, in the passage of time. momoko goto relocated from her hometown of nagasaki, japan to tokyo in 2011. this is where the story of powder, as the international dance music community knows her, begins. with the change in location came a change in lifestyle, where a balance of 9-to-5 office life and sacred, nocturnal recording sessions invited moko to reflect on musics unique ability to stop the clock and expand or shrink our sense of time.

the techno revolution 30 years ago, where boundaries, walls and our own guarded natures came crumbling down? the archaic establishment-challenging attitude and forthright energy of the punks? the long-awaited eruption of gay culture that had burned and yearned since the dawn of mankind? dare you travel even further back? rewind two hundred years to the romantic revolution where men like the blitzed berloiz helped us transcend our physical limitations for suspended moments of fantastique disbeliefÉ all of these moments have shaped us, our music and our culture. each movement comprising artists who like us right now are trying to make sense of the uncertain world, the chaotic present and the fearful future. artists like hell. welcome to the futureÉreflecting over his participation and contribution to myriad cultural movements since the late 70s, his passion of ever-evolving musical form and our current socialpolitical landscape, hell taps into our collective rich histories, our combined fears and our mutual desires to create his most personal, ambitious and thought provoking body of work to date: zukunftsmusik. his fifth studio album zukunftsmusik fuses some of hellÕs strong signature motifs (his passion for subversion, his great kosmiche canvases, sudden throbbing bursts of dancefloor dynamism, subtle songcraft) yet it sounds unlike anything hell has ever created before. there are very few big club singles. a delicate balance of classical dramatic orchestral tension and evocative futuristic synthesis runs throughout. dark and light, hope and fear, fast and slow, day and night.over the course of one hour helmut josef geier invites you on a musical trip of a lifetime his lifetime, your lifetime, musicÕs lifetime.

pilocka krach still means nothing but pilocka noise. sheÕs the charming queen of berlins post techno underground and a true recording & perfoming artist. her new release on her very own imprint greatest hits international is a conceptional framed double vinyl album and a journey diary of her last two years on tour around the globe, with mexico, detroit and her hometown roots in berlin as fixpoints on her neverending agenda. pilocka krach is ãsugar caneÒ & ãthe lost amigosÒ, her band and all at once. her style is pure electro post rave simplicity, where each single sound is either raw sampling cuts or deep growling synthesis. big basslines meet funky grooves and surprising hooks, grooving along with her own voice and a lot of other vocal features, whereever you go. each Ôn everthing gets the room it deserves and mingles alltogether to so much more, than just another stereo sum. never heard an album that dry and that wet at the same time, with an overall fun and jam factor, that is truly touching. she took her original style more than just a few steps further and sharpened her skills in an impressive and real straight forward way of raw funkyness and true storytelling. you canÕt listen to it without moving. pilocka is always surfing the right balance of how much, or better how less it needs, to keep it going, get down to the point of no return and beyond the miracle of repetition.

die musikwelt war hochgespannt, als nach zehnjŠhriger pause ein neues new order album erscheinen sollte. dass der inzwischen fŸnfkšpfigen band mit music complete aber ein solcher return to form- (spex) gelingen wŸrde, haben so einige nicht mehr erwartet. der nun vorliegenden, neuen new order-single -singularity- attestierte der musikexpress zudem, sie wŸrde einiges der -blue monday--dna in sich tragen. und in der tat ist der song mit seiner einmaligen balance aus rock und elektronik, dunkel, energiegeladen und tanzbar, die perfekte sound-symbiose von ursprungsband joy division und der sich hier auftŸrmenden, grunderneuerten new order.
die cd-version der single enthŠlt neben dem single edit, einen extended mix sowie edits von erol alkan, mark reeder, js zeiter und tom rowlands.

much-celebrated kompakt staple the field returns to the spotlight with new album the follower, his fifth full-length offering after from here we go sublime (kompakt rsd 02 cd 57), yesterday and today (kompakt 193 cd 72), looping state of mind (kompakt 241 cd 94) and cupids head (kompakt 290 cd 110). swedish soundsmith axel willner is well-known for his mastery when it comes to the allusive layering of loops, but it was with his last album cupids head that a newly-found, somewhat pressing snappishness started to replace the soft-hued sonics of his ambient-infused techno, imbued with a darker mood and stronger footing than before. a carefully gauged balance of stoic motorik and gloomy drones was key here - just as it is for the follower which goes even further in blurring the lines between concrete experimentation, body music and precisely laid-out arrangement, leading to one of the most rhythmically and texturally engaging listening experiences in willners catalogue.

fŸr azhar syed und julian stetter war das debŸt kein leichtes unterfangen, waren doch die erwartungen nach ersten euphorisch aufgenommenen single veršffentlichungen wie celestial oder ential, auftritten bei internationalen showcase-festivals wie dem eurosonic (nl), dem great escape (uk) und sxsw (usa) sowie remixen fŸr josef salvat oder kat vinter immens und die nachfrage immer gleich: wann kommt denn euer album. gemeinsam mit produzent jochen naaf (xul zolar, hundreds) verschanzten sich die wahl-kšlner im studio und bastelten gemeinsam in unzŠhligen monaten am langspieler. mit nights in limbo erwartet uns nun ein mix aus elektronischem pop, detailversessen arrangiertem listening-techno, abstraktem pop aber auch dezentem house. es sind lieder, die die grenzen zwischen song und track ausreizen und vimes teils experimenteller und teils zugŠnglicher als bisher zeigen.

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.

feadz is releasing his debut album instant alpha fifteen years into his career. his music is a careful balance of urban and electronic that finds its roots in rap, freestyle, electro, techno and house, but also in more ghetto influences such as footwork, trap, baile, etc. in short, feadzs music is a quintessential edbangerian alloy.

its all too easy for nostalgia to tip into something negative. at its best its a celebration of the best the past has to offer while putting it into a contemporary context, at its worst its moaning that things arent as good as they used to be. hercules & love affair have always been firmly in the first category. main man andy butler takes classic house and disco sounds and uses them to craft dance music that has one foot in the past, the other cutting a rug on dancefloors right now. its a well-judged and expertly executed balance.

excellent chris tietjen dj mix , from house , techhouse to groovy techno

everybody better bring some towels, because housemeister is about to soak the world in electro champagne. presenting his third full length music, the dirty don of club music did it again. touching ravers hearts and hitting ravers right on their heads at the same time. in arts, good ideas are hard to have, but easy to get - masterful musical output is pretty hard to create, but once itÕs done, itÕs about pure listening pleasure. and with a thousand shitty drugs flooding the streets of music today, it isnÕt everyday you get to consume the 100% stuff. Òmusic is awesomeÓ is that shit thatÕs straight from the kitchen, and housemeister has produced this bitch to the point like a 5 star chef. it seems playing clubs and crowds all over the world do add to a players game. add class and confidence. add experience and excellence, add balls as well as balance, and maybe it just takes 15 years of hardcore djdom to be able to come out and kill like this. music is awesome!

its a brighter, more immediate sound than before warmer, too, with the singers voices positively glowing inside intricately woven electronic nests. but theres no lack of nuance. every track is a delicate balance of intimate delivery and cosmic sonics, underscored by a faint sense of melancholy.
