2014 remastered version of this carl craig classic on planet e.

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.

having blown the doors off with their r&s debut *containing a thousand*, lakker return with a devastating new single that concentrates and coalesces their sound to unprecedented new heights. their intricate, yet muscular soundscapes and skittering percussion have an epic, alien quality that set them head and shoulders above their less ambitious peers. having a background in punk, metal and broken beat as well as noise and techno helps give lakker their truly unique and uncompromising sound. currently touring their blistering live /av set across the planet and hard at work on their debut lp for r&s you will be hearing a lot more from lakker very soon.

some records are birthed through countless months or even years of studio hard yaka, drafts, followed by re-drafts, an eternal process of searching for that money shot musical moment. then there are albums that simply pour out of the collective minds of its creators more of a stream of consciousness and musical expressions that strategic beat creation

kiev based yan cook joins the planet rhythm family with a grim 12 release containing 4 dark and heavy techno tracks.

through ties with the likes of glenn astro, muff deep, brandt brauer frick and ctepe 57, copenhagens tartelet records have become a coterie for an auspicious breed of modern-day oddball. opting for analogue gear, the tartelet mainstays bring together lopsided sampling and loose-limbed rhythms suffused with a distinctive degree of resistless energy. shapeshifting with each record, the releases continue to roll behind the success of max graefs *rivers of the red planet* lp. the next instalment comes courtesy of a previous collaborator with max - nigerian born vocalist and songwriter kesiana a.k.a wayne snow. now a resident of berlin and with music as his liberator - snow stands at a comfortable vantage point where escape from a tough past is visible. now in full flow - his first ep *red runner* sees snow drop a deluge of soul over grubby rhodes tones, contorted melodies and tumbling drums backed up by remixes from glenn astro and delusions of grandeur regulars session victim.

experimental journey...

the last few years have seen chicago footwork rise to international success, and traxmans debut album - *the mind of traxman* on planet mu - played no small part in that. it showcased cornelius fergusons brilliant ability to synthesise the beat digging of classic hip hop with the high-speed abstraction of footworks house-derived beat science. the selection of tracks on this second chapter show a slightly different take on traxman s abilities. instead of bringing in concepts from other genres, he simply creates a wider variety of footwork, made with a minimal, reduced palette. often just one or two samples are selected and diced into brain-blurring cubist puzzles that bear little relation to their original sources, or anything else for that matter.

planet rhythm is gearing up for the second effort in their prrukblk series.

the infamous planet rhythm imprint is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2014. 20 naturally is a landmark-age and shows the label s ongoing persistence and hunger to catch the right beat. over the years many sounds within the techno genre have been showcased on this warm and respected home. coincidentally the label (now situated in rotterdam) just got onto a new a new flock of producers making their way into the crates of respected djs and like minded people wordwide.

after last years album *love & devotion* the husband and wife duo of mike paradinas and lara rix-martin follow up with *weird drift*. the album shows just how much their ability to write confident and thoughtful pop songs has developed, while still being able to retain the sleepy cushion of steamy synth pop that made the first record so rewarding to listen to. this time album features the vocals of a vezelay, a.k.a. french singer and producer matthieu le berre, who brings a gentle poised falsetto to the duos productions along with a delicate but hopeful angst. the vinyl lp comes with download code for the full album.

dj clent - the low end legend - has been known for his music since the days of dance mania, releasing tracks such as *bounce* and *back up off me* which are juke classics. he also released the grimy call to arms footwork track *3rd wurle*, as well as tracks on both bangs & works compilations.

andy meecham is a man of many musical incarnations and has been since the early 90s. following on from projects like the now dormant bizarre inc and revived dub-disco duo chicken lips, it is as the emperor machine that he explores his most experimental sounds. to date there have been three full length albums on dc recordings after the project was initially started with the idea of creating music using just one synth, the roland sh-3a. the results lay out the staffordshire mans love of vintage synthesisers for all to see, and combine tough edged disco beats with more cerebral cosmic melodies into alluring soundscapes that bend your mind and drive your feet. as well as a slew of 12s and lps, the emperor machine has also turned his hand to remixes of giants like moby, daft punk and royksopp, and has previously taken a live and inspiringly psychedelic incarnation of the project to clubs and festivals across the planet.

while some of you might think of planet rhythm as one of those old labels from back in the day, it may not necessarily be the correct judgement. not only is it a product of its past achievements, but it is also pushing things forward in the present time, with woo york being one of a few new artists emerging from the imprints recent catalogue. that said, 2014 starts with ukrainian duo taking over planet rhythm headquarters as the labels proprietors and getting in charge of all of its future development. first out of press is the duos own ep highlighting their shift towards brand new, hardware-driven studio setup. from abstract tb-303-ish structures of acid rain, through the building peaks of analogue swamp, a perfect example of stripping functional techno, to come closers uplifting trance-y melodies and the closing sequence of strobe 1, this record is shaping up to be woo yorks strongest release to date.

funkwerkstatt-saenger dan morro wandelt auf solopfaden. wohin? in eine musikalische welt, deren hohe atmosphaerische dichte zwischen poppiger leichtigkeit und tiefsinniger melancholie oszilliert. es sind klassische songs, die er hier unter dem namen >i am halo< vorlegt. denn immer ist es die textur seiner einzigartigen stimme, um die herum sich rhythmen und melodien kristallisieren. dies geschieht mal mit tanzbarer, mal mit eher bedaechtiger dynamik, mal mit orchestralen motiven, mal mit elektronischem gefrickel, aber immer mit ganz viel gefuehl und stimmung. so ganz allein ist >i am halo< uebrigens doch nicht unterwegs. the micronaut steuert einen remix zu little planet bei, in dem die jazzige vertracktheit seiner beats immer wieder punktgenau auf der eins landet. gluid hebt unter die fließende melancholie des titels not invented gradlinige rhythmen, die das symphonisch anmutende original voll und ganz tanzflaechenkompatibel machen. und mollono.bass arbeitet sorgfaeltig die sonnigsten aspekte von queen of queens heraus um sie zu einem ungezwungen groove zu verdichten.
