after his first stomp in 2012 its time for the true first single astral projection out of his upcoming debut album micro mega (out in june)! for the new single strip steve is teaming up with the lucid and wild eyed dream-pop band puro instinct, young protégées of living legend ariel pink, straight outta sunny southern california. unlike his more dancefloor tunes stomp/mother circuit (bnr078), strip steve is taking us here on a trip painting lingering psychedelic-noir disco pop. astral projection goes more to the root and encapsulates musical influences from the beach boys, chic, and modern disco like amplified orchestra, highlighting the fact how versatile and multi faceted strip steves musical approaching can be. its the flirtyness with fragile lucency and the infantile embracement of the simple and still undiscovered popformula which leaves the song grow and breathe on its own. this cocktail is best served by the beauty of your own imagination. so relax & leave your soul wonder, cause astral projection will take you to a new dimension until youll have the pleasure to discover >micro mega< - strip steves debut album.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

mit >our disco is louder than yours< veröffentlicht das hamburger duo moonbootica sein drittes artist-album. und diesmal haben es kowesix und tobi tobsen wirklich spannend gemacht. ein in jeder beziehung sündhafter teaser sorgte bereits im vorfeld der veröffentlichung für ungläubiges staunen und grosse erwartungen. zu sehen sind unglaubliche bilder vom rande der gesellschaft: voll-tätowierte danger-seeker verlustieren sich mit ein paar gefährlichen liebschaften in einem setting, das sowohl raketentreibstoff als auch nutten-diesel verströmt, vermischt mit einem leichten odor von verbrannter plastiktüte. giftig aber unwiderstehlich.

200 ever made. hand made unique covers wrapped, in cellophane envelopes. pressure lost: a sci-fi novel in eight chapters about loss of pressure. in a part of the world where there are no rules, deep in the jungle where nothing that lives is safe, a mysterious artifact has been uncovered. nothing like it has ever been on earth before. it comes from the future, the thing that wont die, in the nightmare that wont end. your future is in his hands. once you go in, you dont come out... nature won is the collaborative project of rasmus mobius and morten bang larsen. rasmus mobius has previously released two albums, as half of melk in 2005, and his solo effort >medicine walk< from 2006, both on statler & waldorf. on this new full-length, morten and rasmus has crafted a new sound, like a tv tuned into a dead channel and the rainbow reflection of a laserdisc.
