nach touren rund um den globus kehrten eleanore und jason zurück in ihr abgedunkeltes studio und arbeiteten an dem hypnotisierendem nachfolger zu ihrem beeindruckenden debüt. >red night< wirkt wie eine meditation über trennung und wiederfindung, über fast verloren gegangene liebe und die lang nacht zu ihr zurück. der thith sound vermählt furchtlos minimalismus und abstraktion mit grossartigen melodien. eindringliche stringarrangements werden von treibenden rhythmen und eleanores faszinierender stimme überrannt. >red night< ist ein trip durch die schwarze grossstadtnacht, in der zeit sich dehnt, geschwindigkeit bricht, und gitarren in donner und herzklopfen eintauchen, bei immer intensiver werdenden vocals, je länger die nacht dauert. nach jüngsten auftritten mit odd future und kid cudi, mit den yeah yeah yeahs, james murphy und squarepusher werden thith jetzt auch bei uns ihr neues album ausgiebig live präsentieren!

ok … the sad truth is we have been searching for this dat close to 6 years since rabbit in the moons david christophere and san diego native sotero finished the project. both mixes were done around winter 95 / 96. despite excitement around the label at the time, eventually the tracks fell to the wayside under the age-old excuse of >figuring out what to do with them<. meanwhile, knowing a good thing when he heard it, three made a dat copy and cut some actetates to play out. they made their way around a good portion of the earth via himself, some friends and one west coast dj who boldly vowed to just put it out on his own --- off the slate --- if we didnt get our act together. fortunately he didnt, but neither did we because both david and three misplaced the dat copies and sotero never had one!

the bearfunk bandwagon just keeps rolling! not content with providing some of the best moments in leftfield dance we again head back to italy so clap rules can show us their >golden hands<.

its an exciting time for idle hands, as the fledgling label mutates into a many headed musical beast. after the bristol record shop rooted records sold its last chunk of wax late last year, idle boss chris farrell has carried the torch and opened the idle hands store on stokes croft in bristol city centre. just as the shop highlights idle hands dedication to its hometown, this latest release on the label marks the first time the music has come from outside the city limits. szare will probably not be a name familiar to many, having covertly established himself on the lauded horizontal ground label, basking in the stamped white label anonymity of deep, troublesome 4/4. now with this release and his syndrom z label, the producer steps just a little into the light to expose his unique abstractions on swung techno. >volya< ploughs a sparse and percussive furrow, while >action five< boasts a wistful, dreamlike melodic bent to leave you with two distinctly different, but equally enthralling cuts.

italian techno heavyweights markantonio and rino cerrone finally name their collaborative ventures after ten years of gigs and productions together, and the name is junction hands. revolution is back is the first full release under the junction hands moniker, following a well received outing as part of the recent the napoli connection ep on adam beyers drumcode and it sees the two veterans deliver some of their strongest work yet. the title track is a pacey number with a reverb soaked yet warm atmosphere which underpins an aggressive, simple and incredibly effective bass/drum loop which gains intensity throughout. sharp sounds puncture the groove here there which keeps things interesting but its the discordant stabs in the break which push things into overdrive. the equally hypnotic and driving thing for hands follows but manages to do so with an increased feeling of woozy menace. synths feedback on themselves to shattering crescendos before subsiding into waves of noise while the groove relentlessly works its magic. with junction hands theres yet another must-check name coming out of the neapolitan scene.

the clover deliver their second release on clap your hands called >people power ep<. get ready for 3 unique tunes! >manifesto< on the a side is going to be perfect for your summer festival set. >cosmic jam< follows on the b side and will funk your dance floor like no tune before.
