nach drei alben auf kompakt, zuletzt signs under test- im jahr 2015, kehrt der us-amerikanische house- und techno-produzent john tejada mit dem elf-tracker dead start program zum kšlner label zurŸck. eine reise, die das spektrum von johns stilen umfasst - von seinen charakteristischen soul-techno-melodien bis hin zu den hypnotischen mustern seiner trance-electro-hybride. ob solo oder durch seine vielzahl von kollaborationen tejada beschŠftigt sich mit allen elementen innerhalb und au§erhalb der club-umgebung. sei es auf seinem (44.) fabric mix, als schlagzeuger mit der detroit legende daniel bell als dbx, mit tin man auf acid test oder mit dem selbsternannten desinformator reggie watts als wajatta. vom arrhythmischen maschinenspuk des openers autoseek Ÿber den hŠmmernden puls von hypochondriac und dem schwerlidrigen breakbeat von sleep spindle zur kosmische infundierten vibration von telemetry, der lebendigen traegheit von loss und clubbigen winde von duty cycle und heal bahnt sich john auf dead start program seinen weg durch genres und tempi mit optimalem chamaeleon-effekt. das artwork, basierend auf einem bild von mark richards, wurde von johns langjŠhrigem freund juan mendez aka silent servant, ein ebenfalls wichtiger mitwirkender der los angeles szene, designed. der titel dead start program bezieht sich hierbei auf das analoge start-up-programm eines alten cdc 6600 computers aus einem toten anfang zu booten. dies lŠdt in johns eigenen worten metaphorisch dazu ein, einen neustart von den herausforderungen, die das leben mit sich bringt zu beginnen.

just as magnified record grooves reveal dust constellations and lunar landscapes, so too does godblesscomputers third album. solchi is a deep search into previous moments in lorenzo nadas lifetime, influenced by the presence and power of music. his process began with the recovery of some old cassettes, mixtapes nearly forgotten, audio recording of voices from his childhood, and lots of dusty jazz, soul, and hip-hop records. as the starting point of this travel merge with its end, past and present combine to form gbcs current sound. warm electronic production rooted by grooving bass lines form the core of a kaleidoscope of sixteen tracks, colored by synthesizers, guitar echoes, scratches, samples, fading voices and kalimba. the album is a collection of sixteen stories, sixteen soundscapes, each of them gbcs tribute to the path taken thus far, an homage to his love for music. the recording and studio work took place over a year, with the adding and subtracting of many elements.

kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flowÉ a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing. just like the sampler and the dj before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. Ôuniverse digs deeper into the android vocal chords. the album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during berlin lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. by striking the keys, kuf squeeze out and serve up all the soul accumulated in those savory phonetic shreds.

born in a remote log cabin deep in the scottish highlands, eventual reality, the debut album from the james lÕestraunge orchestra melds jazz and electronic music sensibilities with a huge helping of heart and soul. in 2014 seasoned producer and musician ricky reid and his partner retreated from the city to embark upon a new life, in his own words Òaway from the constant, incoherent noise of the worldÓ. as he set up his studio, the clean air and spectacular surroundings began to provoke musical inspiration like never before. then, like a scene from Ôfield of dreamsÕ, a series of talented musicians from his former life visited the cabin for a series of late night jamming and recording sessions, leaving behind them hidden treasures to be discovered and lovingly pieced together by ricky over the following months. with nostalgia so much a part of the albumÕs creation, the james lÕestraunge orchestra canÕt help but appear somewhat spectral, after all they are truly the band that never was.

the sound of studio one can be identified by the great singers that it cultivated along the many great songs that these singers released. but as studio 1 s dominance was slowly pulled away by the up and coming new breed of producers many of the artists would inevitably end up working for these new camps and so the songs and singers found a new audience. the reggae sound of the studio 1 would make a great combination and the man to pull this was together bunny lee.

der neuseelŠndische multiinstrumentalist jordan rakei veršffentlicht sein hervorragendes debŸtalbum auf ninja tune! der erst kŸrzlich bei ninja tune unter vertrag genommene jordan rakei hat den kampf mit seinen inneren dŠmonen ausgefochten und wŠhrenddessen ein inspirierendes und bewegendes album aufgenommen. genannt hat er es -wallflower- (-mauerblŸmchen-). mit nur 25 jahren ist der multiinstrumentalist, sŠnger und produzent, der in neuseeland geboren wurde, ein seltenes talent, dessen eigenstŠndiger ansatz fŸr soul-musik ein klangliches und emotionales bewusstsein in sich trŠgt, dem viele andere kŸnstler ihr ganzes leben lang hinterher rennen. er schreibt mit einer reife und einer solchen begabung, die man bei seinem alter kaum vermuten wŸrde. mit seinem neuen album -wallflower-, das mitte september auf ninja tune erscheint, lotet er die grenzen seines genialen, oft sonnenbefleckten sounds aus, mit dem seine fans ihn kennen- und lieben gelernt haben. diese leichtigkeit, die von vornherein das rŸckgrat seines sounds war, ist nach wie vor stets zu hšren und blickt zurŸck auf seine zeit als teenager, als er mit seiner geliebten mpc im schlafzimmer versuchte 9th wonder oder pete rock nachzueifern. auf -wallflower- haben sich die gerŠte etwas verŠndert und der entstehungsprozess weiterentwickelt. der fokus liegt nun auf live-instrumentierung, doch groove und rhythmus bleiben unverkennbar. so schafft er es, soul und jazz in ein wahrlich pulsierendes werk zu rahmen, das gleichzeitig an seine stilistischen vorgŠnger the roots sowie freunde wie the internet, nick hakim und hiatus kaiyote erinnert.

an unreleased classic from the vaults emerges with beautiful reshapes by cv313 (recorded and reshaped from 2007-2016) this is where the sound of cv313 was realized, culled from cassette tapes recorded live (1995-2000) with nothing but analog/digital hardware, no computer in sight (excluding our commodore 64 midi sequencer, which is still alive and well today). the radius project has been absent since the final release in 2001, the first 12- appearing in 1996 (limited white label run of 100 copies pressed at acme pressing in canada) after revisiting these works we realized there was truly some magic here. this project was initially sent to rod modell & mike schommer shortly after they launched their brilliant deepchord label in 2001. they were incredibly kind in saying it was the best demo they had ever heard and passed it on to octal records for release, sadly, that didn t materialize and since then these masters have been collecting dust in our cassette rack for nearly 20 years now. we ve spent months doing our best to restore the old tapes from our tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards. (that is of course, if you can get past the tape hiss) we ve had nearly every component replaced and re-calibrated to bring this obsolete machine back to life, it s been a truly nostalgic experience re-visiting these masters.

decadent yet depraved, the debut album by belief defect, finds shelter and complicity in raster as home and label. familiar with the underground music scene and how its skeptical nature can also be an obstacle to overcome, belief defect abandon any claim or credit in an attempt to transcend the limits authorship imposes, avoid the boundaries or expectations earned or self imposed and find the clearest, most direct path to their music for themselves and the listener. at the core of the album is the music that inspired them, the conclusion of countless recordings listened to in their formative years that ultimately result in a life-long devotion to electronic music: from dance floor to primal anger and self-annihilating noise, to transcendental, ambient escapism and intense self-reflexive sonic layering. the result is a soundtrack for this apocalyptic time, an uncompromising reflection on the state of mankind and its uncertain future Ð underscored by a sense of religious and secular demise referenced in track titles, samples, and soundscapes scattered throughout the album. yet, more than a political statement Èdecadent yet depravedÇ is an introspective journey, turning each listener into a spiritual soul-seeker staring into the abyss, reaching for some kind of cathartic truthfulness.

* back with the heat, chicago native dj jana rush kicks off objects limitedÕs 2017 with her debut album ÔpariahÕ. jana rush received attention for her mind-bending drum acrobatics on last year s Ômpc 7635Õ ep also released by objects ltd. jana started djing aged just 13, releasing her first record on dance mania back in 1996 but having a hiatus from music between 2000 to 2013. with ÔpariahÕ she has created an album rooted in chicago s footwork sound, but with a myriad of influences, such as jungle, acid, soul, jazz and house, developing her sound on from Ômpc 7635Õ. * we kick off with Ômidline shiftÕ whose breathy, clipped erotic vocals intertwine with a pulsing bass and dry 808 rims creating a shimmering robotic effect. moving on, the frantic Ôbeat mazeÕ confuses the mind with white noise rushes and interlocking snares. changing the scene, ÔdivineÕ is sweetly soporific and charming, a beautiful, almost eerie track. the pace picks right back up with Ô??? ??Õ, whose warbling jazz clarinets cut into a juke bounce. the stripped back beats of Ôbreak itÕ give one room to breathe before the croaking bass and distorted acid of Ôno fuks givenÕ. Ôold skoolÕ is exactly what you d expect, its sample syncopated around a feverish rhythm throughout. both Ôrapid fire and Ôacid tech 2Õ are bangers, hitting you deep in that sweet spot. jana brings it back down with ÕcpuÕ s computer noises and sub bass hits. Ôchill modeÕ gives time for reflection after all that fire, but its no ambient track, theres still that chi-town vibe. we finish with Ôfrenetic snareÕ whose amen breaks will have brits thinking of jungle, but it s a different beast altogether

aufgenommen wurde universal high im sommer 2016 in den maze studios in atlanta, wobei niemand geringerer als der legendŠre ben h allen (gnarls barkley, animal collective, deerhunter) in die produzentenrolle schlŸpfte und mit bandleader ben romans-hopscraft eine kreative allianz formte. man kšnnte -universal high- durchaus als eine wiedergeburt sehen: es setzt sich fast bis zur unkenntlichkeit vom dub-geladenen psychedelic-indie ihres debŸts ab. der neue sound ist dagegen viel mehr geprŠgt von den stra§en des sŸdens, auf denen er entstand, vermischt mit dem 70 s soul von the isley brothers, curtis mayfield und shuggie otis.

one plus one/indecisive is the 7inch release from the debut ep by melbourne band the do yo thangs a collection of sensual slow jams and bumping future soul dominated by rich, four-voice harmonies. one plus one is equal parts performance and programming, drawing from a broad palette of live instruments and electronic sounds. at the front, hugh and audrey alternate lead vocal duties, supported by harmony singers maddie otto and tiaryn griggs. backing them, the guitar sound is classic soul but the plethora of synthesizers and 808 kick drums is definitely not, nodding equally to vangelis or hiatus kaiyote. the more you listen, the more intricacy is discovered. the writing uses jazz elements and odd rhythmic devices, but it s all tucked away - theres nothing that intrudes into the foreground or interferes with the song s abilities to speak to an audience
