georgian artist sophia saze releases her debut two-part album self on francis harris kingdoms imprint, with part one dropping on cassette this june. the record embodies my story of duality within the context of identity, insomuch as the idea that every person has a deeper layer we donÕt show on the surface.

it didn t always crave mayhem and destruction. there was even a time when it knew peace. for centuries, its home was safe. hidden away in the wintery recesses of macs0647-jd, alania provided peace and plenty. but that was before the invasion. before the caucasians desecrated all that was sacred in their campaign for intergalactic dominance. as one of the chosen, it was taken and forced to endure the horrors of captivity. every memory and allegiance to its former identity was mercilessly reprogrammed. forged in the fires of greed and death, bad robot was reborn. now, blinded by rage and bound to a power-hungry master, it leaves only blood and bones in its wake. one thing is certain: no one is safe. bad robot is coming for you.

limited summer deal - map out consciousness through corporeal and dense music.
ethereal, hypnotic and deep textures coexist on heavy and good composed grooves, making the first installment of this catalogue a new identity, for a long time researched, of the artist.

the fourth release from london-based label eya continues to shape out an intriguing identity that nods to classic techno tropes while charging ahead with their own agenda. label boss jos -planet eya- sets a lively pace with its forthright drum machine jack offset by warm synth licks. evil knebel matches the tempo and weaves in a cosmic set of tones, which poten then cosigns with the equally trippy, propulsive -intransigence-. jos is back at the helm for closing track -purify-, which strikes a darker tone without losing that raw, vintage techno flavour that makes this label one to watch.

electronic leatherette is back with third release. internal reflection is 4 track split ep which contains two melancholical autumn-techno tracks from exhausted modern on incidence side and two acid athems from cco as refraction.

acid hologram is a record that travels between past, present and future. it is a real mix of different stiles, this makes it difficult to define as a genre. analogue incursions typical of acid and electro fuse with the melodic immediacy of trance, cohabit with cruel drum breaks and crazy idm interventions, creating a scenario composed of different styles and nuances, bizarre as well as emotional, enveloped by an idea of euphoria typical of the underground music of the early 90s, that allowed us to rediscover a personal sound, without compromise. produced between the end of 2013 and 2017, it was published as a limited edition and the first cassette release by weme records, the idea of the format justifies the need to publish such a high number of tracks, on an alternative medium that is able to reflect the identity of an equally unconventional sound. the tracklist titles reveal visual suggestions that recall the years of the rave scene of the early 90s and the cyberpunk imaginary in which the author grew up

as co-head of seattle based record label jungle gym, caleb dravier aka dravier, has provided a steady source of musical inspiration over the past 3 years through both his label output and a string of individual artist releases. along with fellow label head, rene najera, he has established jungle gym as a respected platform for emerging electronic artists whilst maintaining an ethos and identity so synonymous with seattle based music. pressing on solid white 12 inch vinyl.

“we are what you think we are” is a 3 part compilation celebrating 10 releases from new york-based label and promoters lost soul enterprises. the groupings of artists on each 12” represent slightly different sonic territory, from darkwave and synthpop, to acid and electro, to industrial techno, all of which together have come to define the identity of the label and the community surrounding its legendary parties.

what starts out as a lavish train ride through europe quickly unfolds into one of the most stylish, suspenseful and thrilling mysteries ever told. from the novel by best-selling author agatha christie, murder on the orient express tells the tale of thirteen strangers stranded on a train, where everyone s a suspect.
one man must race against time to solve the puzzle before the murderer strikes again. kenneth branagh directs and leads an all-star cast including penélope cruz, willem dafoe, judi dench, johnny depp, michelle pfeiffer, daisy ridley and josh gad.
the score is composed by multiple award winner patrick doyle. (donnie brasco, thor, harry potter and the goblet of fire)
the 2 lp set of murder on the orient express is pressed on blue 180 gram vinyl. this limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies contains a 6-panel booklet with exclusive pictures and liner notes on one side and a poster, the image of the train, on the other side. look out for secret inscriptions in the run-out groove, clues are everywhere…

manni dee might be best known for his upfront techno tackle on perc trax and the like, but he s also been quietly building up a separate identity as nuances, and it s a world away from his dancefloor output. following on from some choice album appearances on bastakiya tapes, it s up to tabernacle to give the project its first outing on wax. while tabernacle can have some range in their sound, this finds the label plunging wholeheartedly into ambient climes. heavily processed textures and delicate chimes all feed into a truly evocative atmosphere loaded with significance. ignore the familiar name behind the music - this is an album deserving attention all on its own.

clocking in at 11 minutes, this is a radical deconstruction of the track bint el khandaq that appears on the mashrou leila album ibn el leil. lost souls of saturn tease out the underlying emotion and yearning present in the original and take the listener on a beguiling, symphonic ambient journey that calls to mind wolfgang voigts much loved gas project, or the shimmering imaginary landscapes of brian eno. renowned for their rousing, sensual electro-pop mashrou leilas songs touch on political freedom, lgbt rights, race, religion and modern arabic identity. lost souls of saturn were approached by the band to reinterpret the original track and the stunning results fit perfectly as their debut release on r&s. this is the next step in the evolution of seth troxler and phil moffas lost souls of saturn project. look out for an album on r&s in 2018.

(incl. translucent insert) token79 feels conceptually complete as a record: the similarities between the tracks are almost as striking as their individual qualities. each piece is titled in reference to planetary layers, each presenting another piece of the same world. as tokens first ever releasing artist and now long recognized as an integral contributor to its distinctive sound, kennedy continues to offer his part in shaping the labels identity.

having spent seven years in his adopted home of london steadily crafting a hazy, ambiguous identity that fuses ambient onto drone and techno, tom hang (aka lobster theremin boss jimmy asquith) finally steps up to the plate with “to be held in a non position” - a melded one-take lp that explores extended themes of isolation, loneliness, personal loss, disconnection and reconnection with reality and (self)-identity.
through his long-lost label tidy bedroom - on which “to be held in a non position” will be released - tom hang engages in a more introspective path, exploring sonic territories that find an echo with dislocated past experiences, pushing physical and psychic boundaries to get at the crux of intimacy.

from portland’s burgeoning music scene comes a creative statement in the form of “tease”, the full length collaborative album by singer/songwriter blossom and producer hot16. meticulously thought out in every detail, “tease” shows the work of two sophisticated artists making their mark with an expertly written, performed, and produced lp that will undoubtedly find its way into your home and heart.
what started as a single guest feature quickly transformed into a full 8-song joint venture when it became instantly clear that the two artists brought out the best in each other. blossom’s poetic lyrics and emotive tones meld effortlessly around hot16’s unique production. strong, black, and imbued with magic, blossom shows depth & feeling in every note while hot16’s soulful tracks work as the perfect backdrops for her beautiful odes to identity, empowerment, love, and its accompanying heartache.
with a multitude of styles reflected on the album, each song can rightfully stand on its own. however, “tease” is best understood within the context of the whole, as genres are allowed to meld together and a its larger narrative unfolds.
take note, as the album is both a sonic world unto itself, as well as only a tease of what’s to come.
the vinyl release includes a download code.

clean slate is the first release from addremove on swiss label thrènes. there isn’t a lot to say about addremove himself or herself as he/she prefers to keep their identity unrevealed, at least for the moment, so lets concentrate on the music. clean slate consists of 5 original tracks and a remix from jk flesh (project/alias of justin broadrick of godflesh, final and jesu).

kscope are extremely proud to be the home of the new studio album from tangerine dream, entitled quantum gate, released to coincide with and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the band.
tangerine dream have been a fundamental influence on electronic and progressive music since their formation in west berlin, 1967. inspiring genres, musicians and other art forms, from the future sound of london to porcupine tree, the widely popular tv show stranger things (for which their music also featured in) to seminal video game grand theft auto v (for which they helped to write the soundtrack). the group, led by edgar froese, have received seven grammy nominations, written over 100 studio albums and developed instantly recognisable synth-based instrumental music based on a meditative musical experience, that came to prominence in the 70s and 80s.
the new album, quantum gate features an updated, contemporary development of their trademark sound: sequencer-driven electronica covering a wide range of moods and atmospheres from ambient soundscapes to energetic, upbeat moments.

“we are what you think we are” is a 3 part compilation celebrating 10 releases from new york-based label and promoters lost soul enterprises. the groupings of artists on each 12” represent slightly different sonic territory, from darkwave and synthpop, to acid and electro, to industrial techno, all of which together have come to define the identity of the label and the community surrounding its legendary parties.

the second album from basic house takes a sober turn towards the thematic intersection of occult knowledge and globalised black operations, brokering a piercing anxiety throughout from the tension between the scale of the politics being invoked and the familiarity of the covert identity tactics to music cultures, subcultures, and the like.

making a splash with rs019 is a newcomer called mallard. discovered by bradley after being front and centre for almost every rs dance since 2016, the south london based producer and multi-instrumentalist makes a serious first impression with his debut ep ‘verte’.
currently studying jazz double-bass at trinity school of music, mallard’s productions demonstrate a keen ear for groove with a level of musicality rarely heard in electronic productions. at just 20 years old, he has already developed a unique sound palette and prodigious production style set to make him a name we will only hear more of in the years to come.
this ep, at once varied in tone and tempo is held together by a strong sonic identity and an overarching artistic vision: from the morphing polyrhythmic percussion of ‘surface’ to the shifting, heady pattern of ‘aquitaine’ via the psychedelic breaks of ‘untitled’ we are taken on quite the trip.

ariwo ist ein in london beheimatetes, kubanisch-iranisches quartett, das sich darauf konzentriert, die bislang unerforschten zusammenhänge zwischen elektronischer musik, afrokubanischen rhythmen und iranischem mystizismus zum klingen zu bringen. sein selbstbetiteltes debüt erscheint als auf 500 exemplare limitierte doppel-lp mit vier sehr langen und hypnotischen tracks. die platte ist die zweite veröffentlichung des labels manana, das vom !k7-kollektiv in der nachfolge des atemberaubenden kubanischen manana-festivals 2016 gegründet wurde. in den worten der band ist es deren ziel -to connect our native musical traditions to electronic music in a way, that pushes beyond traditional cuban an iranian identity-. denn auf diese weise entstünde ein sound, der keiner spezifischen kultur mehr zugeordnet werden könne. dazu passt es, dass der begriff -ariwo- in der westafrikanischen yoruba-kultur, die im zuge des transatlantischen sklavenhandels auch nach kuba gelangte und dort zu einem einflussreichen faktor wurde, schlicht geräusch bedeutet.

sos gunver ryberg, aïsha devi, rrose and paula temple are the four artists collaborating for decon/recon 2. the new record will be released as limited edition vinyl on noise manifesto. in this collaboration series, each artist has produced a track from all the artists sounds, yet the release credits all four artists equally on all four tracks. it is a symbolic act for reducing hierarchy, ego attachment in identity, preferring instead to shift the focus towards affinity. paula temple describes the bond in this second collaboration as every artist in this release approaches their creative energy particularly connected towards a more shamanistic mindset. when you listen to the progression of their music, it feels like the physical and mental realms we accept as reality and function within are being stripped away. maybe that is weird to say about underground dance music, but i find the journeys each of these artists take you on are very exciting in how they affect you.

barcelona based yakazi imprint proudly reaches its fifth installment in the form of a synergic collaborative release signed by chilean artists alexi delano and marcelo rosselot, counting also with canadian buchla wizard marc houle in the role of never-failing remixer. presented as a two sided release, and splitted in two original tracks plus marc houles remix, yakazi maintains its unwavering commitment to their core values, to move people through good music, prevailing fads and trends and strengthening the labels very own sonic identity. on this occasion, alexi delano, a close relative to the label that was also featured on label’s previous compilation, joins forces with his studio fellow marcelo rosselot building up “take me / it’s on me-, two finely-crafted excursions of heavy bass minimalism and dark vivacious techno based on subtle vocal samples, trippy synth-chords, and layered drum patterns constantly evolving throughout both progressions sounding uniformly fantastic, without falling into the obviousness of a long steady beat narrative and keeping in mind how to charm the dancefloor in style.
