die fans im londoner hammersmith odeon ahnten nicht was passieren sollte, als sie gespannt auf ihr idol bowie aka ziggy stardust warteten. es sollte die letzte show der person ziggy stardust sein. ein furioses set mit allen hymnen aus bowie’s damaligen schaffens dokumentiert die großartigen live-qualitäten von ziggy und den spiders from mars. vor dem letzten song läutet bowie den “bühnentod” von ziggy stardust mit den worten ein: “of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest, because not only is it the last show of the tour, but it s the last show that we ll ever do. thank you.”

synthy euphoria, grimey reverse wired kick science and some bubblebath era afx style musings..curious release. tip!

i was deep in texas when a call came through... -hey man it s cherry ! ...we got some sick new shit for you, gonna blow your mind- i waited nervously for the package. it arrived two weeks later. i slipped the hot black acetate from its wrapper and placed it on the turntable... wired guitars wail like banshees on heat, primal beats erupt drenched in dark juice from roots of trees slick with crunk. flutes and bells hang like exotic flowers that reek of jungle sex and all night long the pulse goes on and on and on as usual cherry was right...this most surely is one sick motherfucker of a record. don t get me wrong there s warped beauty here aplenty but you gotta take it easy. don t ingest it all at once...make sure you re in comfortable surroundings, trust me i know...six months later and i m still feeling the burn. damn you cherry garcia.

repress 2016 ...visionquest have made a big impact in their first two releases on the imprint from seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves. now they fill up the dancefloor with light on >dark song< ep from the compelling tale of us.

sasaki hiroaki is a minimal techno/minimal house artist from japan. his label * yotsume-music* has just released its 3rd ep. the 1st ep (recorded in -yone-ko rework-) is highly sought after on dicogs, whilst the new icon ep resembles these floating pads combined with a very tight sound machine rhythm on its four minimal techno and minimal house tracks. a1 * circle* brings a sorrow sound loop whilst a2 * forever* features a hypnotic synth pattern. the b side relies heavily on floating pads with * icon* and brings a dubby, deep sea feeling with b2 *kaii* . all 4 minimal techno/ minimal house tracks!!!

death waltz recording company is proud to exhume another classic from the hammer horror stable in the shape of “dracula a.d. 1972”. bringing the legend of bram stoker s immortal creation into then-present day, the film pits the charismatic count up against the disco decade after being resurrected by a group of hippies performing black magic, with cristopher lee and peter cushing reprising their signature roles. composing this madness was mike vickers, former member of 60’s pop quiet manfred mann, who provided a suitably contemporary score that followed in the footsteps of jazz scores from that era.

mood 24 brings you the first in a limited vinyl only series in the form of mood series. each track has its own story to tell from artists silat beksi, gorbani, herck, leparente. *secret circle* from silat beksi has a very minimal feel, simplistic drums, repetitive groove combined with spacey atmospheric pads and synths. gorbanis track *the jaw* is more drum and percussion oriented with subtle fx shots and and groovy sub bass. hercks *gura sada* is very atmospheric, lots of organic noises. but its that main synth that gets you moving which the entire track is built around. *flashback* from leparente is deep and groovy, pieced together with a wicked bassline and main synth/pad that you can feel in your soul. ears open, this is just the beginning.....

chilled indie-tronica leaning, warm, classy ambient house. the double vinyl comes with download code.

simply great!

djebali & tuccillo join their forces on 2 original tracks made last summer on the island

repress. the third instalment on kutmah s experimental izwid imprint, south london dj and producer al dobson jr. creates a 15 track deep, exploration of soulful, tribal drums and abstract musical curation. otherworldly and nuanced beats re-imagine the score of the sampledelic funk tale. one that s non-geographical but rather lost in loops, journeying through the time and space that exists within your headphones. alternating between cosmic vocal rips and a myriad of loose, soul-infused beat tape-style sketches with its digital flourishes, sounds from the village vol. 1 sees the sunrise and sunset over a bohemian musical vista

we are new york bound for the second release from rex music, as we invite the charismatic boss of soul people music, fred p-aka black jazz consortium to bring us an exquisite ep, which holds true to his persona: elegant, deep and refined. like the chronology of a day, evolving from dawn to dusk, fred p takes us on a journey through three well-crafted tracks to compose an intimate ballad. ‘wave patterns’ sets the tone with a smooth, airy atmosphere – minimalist yet progressive, it will have you enraptured as the subtle pads weave in and out of the background, dancing a pirouette with the low end. the dubby, hypnotic ripple of the bass ushers in a bright glow like sunrise at the beginning of a glorious day...from there, we move on to side b where ‘continuous sensation’ accompanies us until sunset. soothing and playful, with a delightful string riff and mellow, warm bassline, it’s full of the joys of the daytime. finally, fred p closes out the ep with a harder, more angular workout. ‘unbroken circles’ is made for the twilight hours, when the sun has set and we’re wrapped up in a warm, dense evening. simple, mysterious and crisp… a great way to finish up an outstanding ep from our man, fred p

in 1985 severed heads were asked to release a retrospective, so they dragged out bits lying around. the compilation was titled “clifford darling please don’t live in the past”, spread out into a montage over four sides of vinyl. this compilation includes live recordings, raw demos, unreleased studio recordings and solo pieces from each member of the band during from the first five years. the results are a striking hybrid of the avant-garde industrial and pop.

we’re finishing 2015 with what is pretty much a mini lp by borrowed identity, an inspired producer based in freiburg. there’s a lot here and we think you should just listen to and enjoy the record, draw your own conclusions, but what we will say here is the a is ballsy house and the b is tough techno that touches on trance occasionally. get why it’s called the contrast?

während roberts musikalische handschrift stets erkennbar bleibt, ist *hypermoment* eine stilistische weiterentwicklung seines sounds. mit seinen warmen, analogen klängen, seinen fields-recordings, den satten klangwelten und üppigen pianos, erlaubt dieses album noch mehr einsicht in sein innerstes, während es gleichzeitig die erste veröffentlichung ist, auf der roberts auch selbst singt (care, serenade, fernwood). die field-recordings nahm robert auf trips nach new york, berlin oder joshua tree in kalifornien auf, ebenso wie in seiner neuen heimat in silver lake, l.a., wo er unablässich an seinem album feilte. *hypermoment* featured einige alte bekannte, wie den in l.a. ansässigen künstler schwarzmodul, der auch auf *tsuki* zu hören ist, ebenso wie delhia de france, die auf roberts kürzlich erschienener *california dreaming* kollaboration zu hören ist. aber es sind auch einige künstler vertreten, wie z.b. uks fassine, mree aus new york oder stephen henderson aus kalifornien. *hypermoment* ist roberts bisher persönlichstes album.

mano le tough spends a lot of time in the club. in 2014, the irish-born artist played more than 100 gigs all around the world-landing at number eight on resident advisors annual dj poll in the process but when the time came to make trails, the follow-up to his much lauded 2013 debut album changing days, mano knew that a little time away from the dancefloor was in order

money $ex continue to mine a rich seam of new wave sample house talent from germany s creative heart beating things down on this outing is alex seidel rubbing shoulders with luminaries like max graef & glenn astro seems to have brought out the best in this new producer as he skilfully lays out a familiar collection of roughed up sample jams and synth interludes, as always, hip hop provides a sturdy foundation for this house, but make no mistake, we re living very much in the future.

next 5 years part.. congrats...

already moving forward towards the 5th addition to their catalog within barely one year of existence. the rotterdam-based self reflektion imprint continues to expand their crew presenting a four-track sampler with music from the likes of logotech (manifesto/it), hiroaki iizuka (them/jp), remco beekwilder (self reflektion/nl) and lenson (paling trax/nl) - each showing their own perspective in techno music. from the trippy hypnotic *the 6th door* to the overwhelming *the circle* on the a-side, and from the straight banging *fraud* to the destroy everything attitude on *envy cross*, this release is just a small example of what is yet to come from this young label.
early support by dave clarke, tripeo, marcel dettmann, cleric, truss, truncate, mtd, zadig, dax j, stranger, len faki, nx1 among others.

next up on the influential visionquest label is a revered bucharest duo vinyl speed adjust aka claudiu-eduard balan and andrei predoi. this cult pair serve up three essential new cuts that fit in perfectly with the labels spiritualand heady, stripped back techno sounds, and they follow on nicely from great recent eps by visionquest founders ryan crosson shaun reeves and deadbeat. claudiu-eduard and andrei are leading techno makers in their native romania and have made a name for themselves with their experimental, heavily percussive and intoxicatingly intricate soundscapes on labels like pressure traxx, gilesku records, colours in music and many more. here they do so once more, and in the process blow all competition out of the water

released for the first time on vinyl is max richter’s emotive and minimal score to damon lindelof’s tv series about a post-apocalyptic global event where 2% of the world’s population disappears without explanation. richter’s approach explores the feelings of the protagonist’s family, the garveys, through intimate, small scale music. he tackles this psychological landscape by bringing a ritual quality to the score, while themes of departure and loss are represented by a sense of sonic decay, relying on the instrumentation of a few sustained tones on pianos, harps and celesta. max richter is a classically trained composer that defies boundaries. trained at the royal academy of music and finishing his studies under the tutelage of avant-garde composer luciano berio in florence, richter’s career has followed many paths. his musical output ranges from ballets (wayne macgregor’s infra), reinventions of classical works (vivaldi’s four seasons), collaborations with the future sound of london, roni size and vashti bunyan to writing scores for film and tv (waltz with bashir, lost and found, last days on mars) and solo work (memoryhouse, the blue notebooks, 24 postcards in full colour).

the raw and acid sounds from manuel di martino and raffaele attanasio mixed with the hypnotic sonorities of mike storm and the kaelans solid groove, they are the protagonists for the first release that open the label persistence.
already supported by: alessio mereu, joseph capriati, beat movement, binny, dimi angelis, frankyeffe, jeroen search, joton, kevin arnemann, marcus muzik, mental resonance, milton bradley, pfirter, shifted, unam zetineb, abnormal boyz ...

as with the best techno, the best minimalist records, the best krautrock ventures, this first model alpha lp hints at a weird sense of time, not totally of the past, not totally of the future, not at all of the present. something in between, a time travel machine that can take you on a random journey. listening to those tracks is a bit like making time’s flow stop.

runddans ist ein 39-minütiges werk von abstruser schönheit und brillianz, das für die doppel-lp auf 45 rpm in seine bestandteile zerlegt wird.die sensation ist zweifellos die teilnahme des classic-rock-veteranen todd rundgren, singer/songwriter, progrocker und produzent in den glorreichen 1970ern, der sich nie scheute, mit musikern jüngerer generationen zusammenzuarbeiten, sei es tame impala, daft punk, nine inch nails oder sogar tyler, the creator. seine beiden mitstreiter sind der norwegische musiker emil nikolaisen, mitglied der psychrock-band serena-maneesh (4ad), sowie (hans-peter) lindstrom, neben prins thomas und todd terje der profilierteste vertreter des typischen cosmic/space-disco-sounds made in norway.
