dear human survivors,Ê while the story of grounded in humanity is coming closer to its glorious end - there will be 3 more releases before the final showdown of humanity vs. human clones - the birth of our spin-off label human insurgents is taking shape. the first chapter, a 11-track album, is written and told by phat lord - who is also known as leader of the human resistance, trying to put an end to the brutal regency of the clones. phat lord is a true legend of the underground and his origin and location are totally unknown, even for the largest part of the resistance. some say he may even be a clone himselfÉ. the album is a sonic trip through various mental states and dystopic landscapes. it is a result of 8 years moving below the surface and often in the dark, to avoid discovery. he worked with simple, analog methods, focusing on the true essence of sound. we recommend a setting that allows for deep listening and proper bass support.Ê

a-sun amissa is a project formed out of leeds, uk in 2011 by members of glissando and the rustle of the stars. built on the foundations of the unknown, a project that encompasses minimalist drones, modern-classical movements and avant-garde tendencies. richard knox (glissando, the rustle of the stars, of thread & mist) & angela chan (glissando, the rustle of the stars, ten, tomorrow we sail) began forming the initial ideas in the autumn of 2011, moving away from the piano-led ambience of previous outputs. new album you stood up for victory, we stood up for less sees a-sun amissa moving in a more dense direction, the drones are heavier, the sound thicker and with the added bass-clarinet of gareth davis there a new slightly darker jazz element now to the music. the two tracks were conceived initially as two drone guitar pieces, following that, work was done on the composition and atmosphere of the tracks adding the bass-clarinet, viola, vocals, field recordings and piano. the finished works produce an unsettling but hypnotic listen with melodies moving in and out of the mix throughout these two pieces. you stood up for victory, we stood up for less is released a year on from a-sun amissas debut desperate in her heavy sleep (gizeh). the band will tour the uk and europe in february and also play a handful of uk dates with barn owl in april. recorded at cloud blunt moon and city 1, leeds in october & november 2012. mixed by richard knox. mastered by james plotkin. photography by frŽdŽric d. oberland. layout & design by richard knox

the great lake swallows ist eine zusammenarbeit zwischen der kanadischen cellistin julia kent und dem belgischen gitarristen/bandmaschinenmanipulator jean d.l. aufgenommen in charleroi, belgien im jahr 2015 wŠhrend einer videoinstallation mit sandrine verstraete, entstand die musik aus feldaufnahmen, bearbeiteter gitarre und cello und dient als soundtrack zu dem gleichnamigen video. das album ist ein ambientes wunderland, das auf schritt und tritt schšnheit hervorbringt. es wurde als ganzes gebaut und sollte auch als ganzes konsumiert werden. die wiederholung ist hypnotisierend, ein beruhigendes gefŸhl der ruhe, das von einem hauch von unbehagen umgeben ist, welches nahtlos in verschlafene melodien und gebrochene drones Ÿbergeht. die vier teile die sich Ÿber einen kurzen zeitraum von sechsundzwanzig minuten entfalten, enthalten keinen ton zuviel. alles, was darin enthalten ist, fŸhlt sich notwendig an, jeder satz bringt den nŠchsten, ein gesprŠch zwischen zwei herausragenden musikern.

!k7 are pleased to announce forest swords as the next curator of the ever essential dj-kicks series. following acclaimed albums on ninja tune and tri angle, soundtrack and installation work, and remixes of the likes of bjork, matthew barnes aka forest swords has curated a 25-track compilation that draws a line between past inspirations and his current peers. like much of his own output, his dj-kicks skirts around pristine electronics and embraces more organic textures: 80s post punk (anna domino, dead can dance), classic 90s british electronica (orbital, mira calix), and smokey digi-dub (rhythm & sound), all rub up alongside some of the most forward-facing producers working today (demdike stare, laurel halo, fis). the compilation sifts through rhythms, shifting speeds and emotions: from pop icon neneh cherrys primal thudding to the zombified throb of exclusive forest swords track crow via deena abdelwaheedÕs clattering deconstructions to the euphoric two-step of djrum. its a collection of tracks that feels as restlessly curious and weighty as barnes own work.

to find lawkyz, follow the beat. it is here, in this vital part, this lighthouse which guides the route of the other instruments, which it prints in depth the low notes of his four strings. riveted on the drums. linking with it a rhythmic pact, ensuring the propulsion of the groove on stage with erik truffaz or guts, on records with uht ¡, anna kova, or versus, his hip hop project with full live band. when he puts his fetish instrument, when he lets cool his amp, then wakes up his evil twin: the waxidermist. one year after his last ep, the waxidermist comes back to tell his story.

sometimes he sounds like the euphorigenic warmth of a spring wind, sometimes he send us on a fluorescent roller coaster ride through the bends of our brain: mollono.bass creates a world of sound that has many different climate zones. his remixes are probably the most vivid proof of this characteristic feature. they cover quite all aspects of electronic dance music, but frequently they also come from genres that are surprisingly remote. somehow he manages to merge all these different vibes and inspirations into one compelling flow of danceability. thats why the fourth part of the mollono. bass remix collection is like a panoramic view of all these different layers of mood and atmosphere.

for the past two years, nils frahm has been building a brand new studio in berlin to make his 7th studio album titled all melody, which will be released on january 26th, 2018 via erased tapes, before nils embarks on his first world tour since 2015.
since the day nils first encountered the impressive studio of a family friend, he had envisioned to create one of his own at such a large scale. fast forward to the present day and nils is now the proud host of saal 3, part of the historical 1950s east german funkhaus building beside the river spree. it is here where he has spent most of his time deconstructing and reconstructing the entire space from the cabling and electricity to the woodwork, before moving on to the finer elements, building a pipe organ and creating a mixing desk all from scratch with the help of his friends. this is somewhere music can be nurtured and not neglected, and where he can somewhat fulfil his pursuit of presenting music to the world as close to his imagination as possible.

>what was old is new again<. the old adage is so tired that nobody takes its proper measure: all people hear is the word old, when the important one is new. making new things out of old things is an act of alchemy. the proof is in this fifth album no rest for the wicked of perpignan which is blown right open here and there by a few very contemporary guests.

the night is what makes a big city come to life. right after sundown, the hectic buzzing of downtown makes way for adventure playgrounds, bathed in neon light, revealing their countless chances and opportunities. its when youll find the subway spitting out its purpose seeking passengers by the minute. a coming and going of restless people passing through. all it takes is a few hours, before the sunrise makes it all disappear. mental bend captures the magic of that very moment in their dreamy soundtracks. if you close your eyes, you can see blurry pictures passing in slow motion, accompanied by their atmospheric songs. grainy black and white snapshots, fragments of memories lighting up somewhere in the farthest corner of the cortex. one step is the berlin-based indietronica duos visually vivid debut album, released on enfant fenou. mental bend are all about letting go. sissip (voc/synth/bass) and hendrik havekost (beats/production) know how to trust their instincts, crafting their hypnotic signature sound, somewhere in between electronica, ambient and dream pop. before founding the band in 2013, the two were already shaping their skills in all kinds of different formations and styles of music. as soon as they got together, they had a viral mini hit with their song take my hand, praised on various tastemaker blogs and generating over 100.000 likes on soundcloud in no time. the bands first long play record one step is all about important experiences and decisions, small as well as big steps, all a part of making progress, which in the end can even be life changing. it was a step, that recently got mental bend their record deal on mos ferrys sub label enfant fenou

born in a remote log cabin deep in the scottish highlands, eventual reality, the debut album from the james lÕestraunge orchestra melds jazz and electronic music sensibilities with a huge helping of heart and soul. in 2014 seasoned producer and musician ricky reid and his partner retreated from the city to embark upon a new life, in his own words Òaway from the constant, incoherent noise of the worldÓ. as he set up his studio, the clean air and spectacular surroundings began to provoke musical inspiration like never before. then, like a scene from Ôfield of dreamsÕ, a series of talented musicians from his former life visited the cabin for a series of late night jamming and recording sessions, leaving behind them hidden treasures to be discovered and lovingly pieced together by ricky over the following months. with nostalgia so much a part of the albumÕs creation, the james lÕestraunge orchestra canÕt help but appear somewhat spectral, after all they are truly the band that never was.

was auf oracle ungeschliffen passiert, ist der erste output einer deutschen jazz supergroup. zunŠchst wollte man ein unperfektes spiritual jazz album aufnehmen, das vorbildern aus den siebzigern fršhnt (strata east, black jazz et cetera), einfach mal der leidenschaft nachgehen. und man wollte eine fiktive band erfinden, die es nicht gab, und rausposaunen, es handelt sich um ein unveršffentlichtes album von namhaften und beseelten typen aus den 70ern. nun ja: dann hŠtte man nie live konzerte geben kšnnen, von interviews ganz zu schweigen. kurzum, es wŠre schwierig gewesen, das geheim zu halten, also hat man sich entschlossen, die identitŠten preiszugeben: web web sind: roberto di gioia (piano, synth, percussion), tony lakatos (tenor- und sopranosaxophone), christian von kaphengst (upright bass) und peter gall (drums).

it has been eleven long years since urbs dropped his last album which was called Òtoujours le meme filmÓ. back then, the musician, dj and producer created the soundtrack to a fictitious film noir, which was released on kruder & dorfmeisterÔs g-stone label, but after touring europe he almost completely retreated from public life. he does not consider his creativity as being his career, but rather as a part of his life which rarely is subject to concrete planning, and that is why urbs quite consciously took his time to create his latest Ðuntitledalbum.

cd format cocoon recordings presents q - the new edition of one of the longest running techno compilation series worldwide! we do not want to start again by mentioning how unbelievable it is that we have reached letter q already and we do not even want to imagine how fast we will probably arrive at xyz, if time continues to fly like this. the actual thrilling part of this compilation series is simply the fact that techno seems to not grow any older in this form - isnt this amazing? here, in the truest sense of the word, we have a compilation of timeless material before us. with a broad bandwidth ranging from futuristic-deconstructive compositions such as da dang by alex & digby and fragile by carlos nilmmns or the many contributions to q that fancy almost anachronistic acid and trance influences: everything sounds fresh and forward thinking!

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.

in our fast moving times five years of sharing a musical path is a remarkable way and a good moment to celebrate. mollono.bass & ava asante celebrate with their first joint album: birds flying high. by combining the catchiness of their solid grooves with a touching violin and a breathtaking voice they create a magical journey a journey that takes you along endless roads from lively african villages to mystic asian dreams. while part one of their vinyl double brought pleasure to the festival world in summer 16 already, the silence of winter gave more of their precious time in the studio to melt all their musical feelings into the second vinyl - and spring finally combines new mixes of all tracks on the album cd. lay back and relax or move your feet in passion.
