john cohen aka dead fader first arrived on the label in 2016, with it works 1 - a brace of warping, high energy electronic music compositions that while largely unclassifiable in genre, maintain a gloriously vibrant, emotive sensibility that owes much to early idm excursions, and the more abstract tenets of the krautrock genre. that said - the artist cites anything from kanye west to bach and back again as informing the decidedly experimental and potentially confounding work - and his latest offering for the milan based label continues to riff on this open ended mesh of influence to great effect. the original material is buoyed by a formidable remix package, featuring downwards affiliate jk flesh - who turns in a caustic reinterpretation of fyi, roly porter of vexd and tri angle fame, who takes on raw food, and planet mus konx-om-pax, whos reimagining of life cycle closes out proceedings. its an admirable line up, in keeping with the aesthetic concerns of cohens excellent lp - and the chosen artists turn in respectful but wholly personal work - making for an excellent addition to growing parachute discography. parachuterecords.

the new album from kieran hebden aka four tet as double vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

the lights, the eps title track is a profound and complex story, never forcing itself upon the listener but gently picking him up in real sophisticated (production) manner. the second original track, -blckout-, is based upon a more repetitive structure. a deep male vocal, intertwining with a mystical synth-line and driving percussions gives this track its compelling energy. the b-side of the release consists of two remixes by myny and echonomist giving it both clubby structure and a beautiful-warm atmosphere.

the second ep of samuel rohrer’s range of regularity album presents two more striking reinterprations. these new remixes provide an intriguing parallax view of the original tracks, using the percussive eclecticism of the parent lp as a starting point from which to journey into sonically vibrant, feature-rich territories. the production specialists on hand for this project include burnt friedman and ricardo villalobos. villalobos, has already formed a strong working relationship with rohrer’s ambiq trio, lends his talents to both of the eps. (ror remixes i - amel-ep716). nonplace label boss friedman, as well, has carved out a unique space for himself within the electronic world, logging several decades’ worth of releases that with dub-wise production sensibility, skewed humor, and riots of tone color. though each individual remix has its own character, they are all united in their ability to provide a quick cure for fatigue with the common “loop”: though not improvised, they are strung together from fleeting phrases that evolve as if they are taking on a life independent of their creators. burnt friedman’s own dramatic interpretation of “microcosmoism” pairs up his consciousness of deep bass and analog inventiveness with rohrer’s continually transforming sound objects, making for a flowing and wordless narrative that simply dares listeners to stop paying attention. feeling more like a collaboration in “real time” than a remix proper, friedman brings his characteristic ‘mad scientist’ wit to the proceedings and delivers an energetic piece that simply glows in the dark. this is complemented nicely by villalobos’ remix of “microcosmoism”. it carries the energy level of the 1st ep over to a new disk, while heavily experimenting with feelings of emotional ambiguity. at some points aggressive and at other points merely curious, this mischievous collage of attitudes feels as inspired by the questing jazz of sun ra as it is by continental techno. contemplative keyboard runs, enthusiastic spring-like percussion and malfunctioning machine chatter all coalesce to make this a most fascinating piece of multi-purpose electronic music.

after a highly-regarded debut single on names you can trust back in 2014, combo chimbita returns, expanded and transformed into one of the most original and wild ensembles currently cutting their teeth in the new york city live arena. their latest 4-track studio effort, el corredor del jaguar, co-produced by nyct s greenwood rhythm coalition and featuring the powerhouse carolina oliveros on lead vocals, is an explosive tour de force of unbridled psychedelic energy and futuristic fire with firm roots in the ritmo of the african diaspora. with connections and inspiration drawn from the vast sea of caribbean music - specifically the band s native colombia - these transplanted first-generation new yorkers have carved a unique corridor in the thriving underground jungle of the big bad city.

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.
