THE JET SET (NORTHERN STRUCTURES & SUNIL SHARPE REMIX)
12 Inch
04.11.14
jet set and cccp could be viewed as a continuation of kareems caspian gold ep. it shares the broken structure however adding more detailed and complex arrangements to the approach of technoid percussive noizcore. both tracks break a little with the more static direction of caspian gold and especially jet set emphasises on the power of continues modulations with skull breaking precision resulting in merciless sonic depravation.
TRAVELERS EP (KOROVA & INIGO KENNEDY REMIX)
12 Inch
04.11.14
nice price deal !!! raw waxes continues the release number four with one more original track from the noisemaker. the edition 4.2 is enriched by the remixes of korova, duo who were protagonists of our first release, and inigo kennedy, old school artist truly appreciated by raw waxes. on side c, point x15 advances as an acid robot going ahead with swollen broken baselines covering sinister and rough ambients. the rhythm gets darker and nimbler as far as the stylus moves on the decks. on the side d, korova delivers the mirror of their hypnotic and straight techno soul. drums play hard, ambients are kept happily enjoyable, while the acid synths and chords go with the flow embellishing the original version. inigo kennedy’s reinterpretation seems to come from early ’90 productions on missile records. acid elements and palpitating hi-hats, followed by the syncopated bass drum, gradually fire the minds up and accelerate the roll of weird but deep moments. pure industrial machine guns.

THE BIRD AND WHITE NOISE (LP)
12 Inch LP
03.11.14
the bird and white noise invites to join the travels, and in its long arches and bridges it can easily be listened to as a whole. while the opener or eskimono feature the rather lyrical side of the duo, tracks like land ab neu or chitin set more punchy priorities to a heavy bass and 808 drums. chitin is a late climax of the al- bum, building up for minutes to a massive groove in an insect-like, abstract sound world, leaving just enough space for romantic cello lines to break through in the middle. the record has been released exclusively in japan for the duos tour in april 2014 via pingipungs partner label nightcruising in kyoto. pingipung now releases the lp version and the cd worldwide.

nofitstate return with four tracks from hot talent a1 bassline whose reputation has been building of late from a succession of releases for the likes of dirtybird, get physical and gruuv amongst others. here hidden agenda finds the young producer in true devastating form. skippy percussion, a nod to the uks garage scene, vibes the track along nicely whilst the bass does the damage. burnt out piano island delves deeper, acting as a neat counterpoint to the more main room agenda. here the style is much more nuanced with a more hypnotic leaning. outsider picks up the pace against, albeit in a subtle, uplifting vibe with warped pianos and razor sharp percussion. t moe p rounds things off nicely with a moody bassline driven groove.

SPEECH SPIRITS (KASSEM MOSSE REMIX)
12 Inch
27.10.14
the highly promising loopy opens its account with a double dose of disorientating, hypnotic botheration from nz-er oliver peryman, ex of labels like samurai horo, tri angle and exit. both cuts are curtly compelling: ss is darting and hyper, knecht more haunted, percussive. on the flip, kassem mosse contributes some elastic, bubbling funk, with characteristic panache, and oren ambarchi settles in for twelve minutes of the frighteners. an excellent ep. watch out for loopy.
after making waves with early and idiosyncratic eps on labels like rush hour and astro:dynamics, singular uk talent bnjmn now steps up to make his debut on delsin with six tracks of experimental and inventive noise and techno. coil opens his account with screechy, unnerving synths squeals, imposing and throbbing pads and super deep kick drums that come at you from miles below. it s a hugely textured and spine tingling affair before the ambiance of berth comes rippled with glassy and alien little melodies. merge has turbo charged drums hiding beneath more unsettled synth based noise that sound sernee at the same time as being paranoid. on the flip, and suddenly makes your hairs stand on end with is gothic celestial glow and slithering synth patterns, blown is a damaged and degraded bit of icy, thumping and reverb heavy techno and azure ends on a brain soothing, chilled out ambient high. these are the sort of truly unique and magically textured tracks you would expect from a producer like bnjmn, and mark a fine debut on delsin.
DISTRES (HOOVED HOT REMIX) (180G VINYL)
12 Inch, 180gr
27.10.14
mallorcas dakpa has been on a roll since amam released his debut ep last fall. he has contributed to several compilations, including amams own hand out series, kina music s fade to k pt. 3 and wizz vinyl s sonar sampler 2014, plus eps for labels like district raw and serial number 849. but amam gets the honor of issuing his first own vinyl release, the distres ep. the opening title track is an exercise in jacking minimalism, vibrant tech house with just the essentials, but more than enough to get the floor moving. then, ademus gets into a slightly more colorful groove, with tropical percussive interplay and some whooping voice for a humanistic accent (is that brigitte bardot?). on the flip, virgo gives a modern update to the frenzy of acid house. the title alone brings virgo four to mind. on that note, this one is an effective tool for warping minds and evoking spastic dance moves. finally, the dependable gaetano vinci a.k.a. hooved reinterprets ademus with a heavy dose of melodic funk and symphonic washes, making the track into an entirely new creation.
SEQUENTIAL CIRCLES / MOON LOOP
12 Inch

outboxx return to brstl two years on from their first release on the label, tougher and more dance floor focused. although primarily known for deeper house sounds for labels such as futureboogie, they have never been afraid to experiment as exemplified on their debut lp for idle hands. here they turn their attention to deep techno, with two stripped back cuts that retain the warmth of their other productions. sequential circles drills down on a singular, angular riff whilst neatly deployed percusiion hits at just the right moments. moon loop whirls round on a deep spacey groove in keeping with its title. another strong release from the bristol focused brstl label.
ANJOU (LP)
12 Inch
27.10.14
the culmination of four years writing and editing, anjou marks the first collaboration between labradfords robert donne and mark nelson since the release of that groups *fixed:context* lp. combining modular synthesis, max/msp programming and live instrumentation, anjou deftly weaves noise with gentle ambience and melody with texture. guitar, bass and steven hess (locrian, fennesz, pan american) live percussion give the eight pieces an immediacy and create a framework for the more abstract sounds of digital and analog synth programming. the product of twenty plus years of friendship, anjou is refined and challenging. an extension of the labradford sound-world but no mere victory lap, anjou represents donne and nelson stepping out and forward, their eyes firmly focusing on the future.

producer and boss of mathematics records, jamal moss a.k.a hieroglyphic being is a one-off musical explorer. jamals music takes cues from the ebm and house that played a huge part in the city s musical underground in the late eighties and early nineties, notably ron hardy and adonis, but also industrial, avant-jazz and noise. his tireless schedule of rough low-key releases over the last 12 years and his intense, very physical, psychedelic music, have made him a key exponent or maybe even a pioneer of what has recently come to be named outsider house, although he prefers the more sun-ra like descriptors of rhythmic cubism and cosmic be-bop.
the double vinyl lp includes a download code for the full album.

the project stems from an idea of hypnotism and low frequencies which are an integral part of the musical premise. in an ever-changing field of music, blow creates a fusion between the genders in a spiritual perspective becoming part of the contemporary underground movement. both tracks are live interactions and excerpts from archival material of the opera mutica. the acoustic elements that characterize the artists sound are flutes, drums, percussion, guitars and ambient sound environments. between the surreal sounds he is able to initiate a search within ethic harmony. through musical research the project evokes a certain significance, enough to take on a certain character which makes space for more conventional acoustic elements.

THE BUMPS EP
12 Inch
16.10.14
the original, with a well-constructed bassline incorporates a warm up melody that begins to set the tone for the night ahead. each layer is distinct as the track begins to build itself right to its crescendo when each of those individual layers collectively come together. you can distinctly hear the 80 s like synths that are cleverly inserted into the track which are highlighted by the female vocal samples. the grittier elements add a touch of darkness and instantly transport you to a warehouse club with an intimate atmosphere. the remix, done by the widely loved tech-house duo pleasurekraft jack up the tempo a notch, and add a bouncy groove to the track. where the original brought out a darker side, the remix is more upbeat and settles in well for a peak hour set. bringing that crisp bassline to the fore, and tuning out the melodies to make them a tad subtler it showcases a more tech-house version of the original. there s an added element a slightly more haunted vibe which is coupled together with those gritty and harder elements. all i can conclude is what a tech-house bomb this is from the highly talented pleasurekraft. they always manage to bring something new and unique to every single track they ve ever remixed which truly shows their remarkability as consistently good producers.

sandwell districts rrose launches a new label with a follow up to >motormouth variations<, last years unlikely collaboration with legendary improviser and synthesizer pioneer bob ostertag (named one of 2011s top 50 albums by the wire magazine).
for the debut release on eaux, rrose searched through ostertags cassette archives to discover a lost gem of studio improvisation from 1977. >the surgeon general< sees the barely post-teen bob ostertag exploring feedback techniques with an early buchla modular synthesizer, tape delay, flute and violin. the results are uncharacteristically moody, spacious, and well ahead of their time. on the flip, rrose provides two new revisions. >no child left behind< is a noisy and hypnotic acid-laden beast designed for dancefloor damage, while >her insides laid bare< takes the original into murky subaquatic territory. look for much more to come from rrose and eaux in the coming months.

the return on bosconi of the wonderkids from firenze sud, herva and dukwa (aka marco d aquino) as life s track, consists in a explosive blend of pure freestyle ghetto goodness!! four burning tracks dense of special effects, sound manipulations through tape distortions and pyrotechnic structures: a side starts with the funky builder it fell down, a full on, rough and raw ultra filtered disco house dancefloor anthem in the vein of a more warped and f**ked up bangalter or shake shakir, while on the second cut there s the aggressive and drunk ghetto blaster of come on, on b side instead you ll find the breathtaking groove from the driving acid techno bossa of -rescue me- and the electro breaks from lost cassettes of the melancholic and dreamy closing ep lullaby -sometimes theycome back-..
MEANWHILE IN RIDGEWOOD EP

operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.
