the needle-drop fuzz that cues sam amidons fourth solo album of songs, i see the sign, raises the curtain on a world of little theatres, foretelling of an aural gut-grip that is fully human and wholly natural. amidons intuitive and often radical reworkings of age-old secular ballads, gospel, folk songs, and hymns render familiar characters new through his direction, vision, vocals, banjo, guitar, and stellar contributions from fellow musicians. stylus magazine raved that amidons sophomore solo album, but this chicken proved falsehearted, was >the most interesting folk album of 2007<. in 2008, bedroom community debuted his third album, all is well, which garnered mediaenthusiasm as a >a goose-bump-manufacturing sonic piece de resistance< (cmj new music monthly).

two and a half years after their debut lp, 23 seconds, dazzled critics and lit up dance floors worldwide, cobblestone jazz are back with a powerhouse new album that captures their live-in-the-studio energy like never before. a mixture of heady, jazz-inspired house grooves and below-the-belt analog funk, it raises the bar for electronic dance music in 2010.titled the modern deep left quartet, the record marks an important addition to the cobblestone jazz lineup, as the trio of mathew jonson, danuel tate and tyger dhula brings aboard colin de la plante (aka the mole). de la plante is no newcomer to the cobblestone crew: the four musicians have been playing together for nearly 15 years, since their first performances in small-town victoria, british columbia, and theyve all shared the stage as the modern deep left quartet

support: steve bug, jay haze, someone else, mark henning, matt star, pan pot, agaric, jason emsley!!! 2009 has been an extremely busy year for billy dalessandro. on top of having recently relocated from his hometown of chicago to montreal, the year has marked his most engaging yet in terms of gigging and musical output. along with a successful three-month european tour, billy released a string of highly acclaimed singles, and his latest artist album (not to mention his growing catalog under the huge hephner and tyrone aliases). however, it should come as no surprise that the producer has saved the best for last.
>strombooty< (for details, consult your local urban dictionary) is the modern dalessandro sound, combining heady experimentation with dance floor prowess. the eps title track is a deep, yet explosive number that creeps in subtly like dark clouds on the horizon, before raining down a devastating thunderstorm over the speakers.
the latin-flavored >el tapatio< and super-deep cut >speak to me< make up the b-side. although the tracks represent different aspects of the dalessandro sound, the commonality they share is a thoughtful approach to dance music that much of the formulaic output these days lacks.

ilya santana originates from the canary islands (spain). he started to discover his passion for music 20 years ago, while his father was listening to alan parson, vangelis and giorgio moroder amongst others. 15 years ago he started dj ing around all the clubs in gran canaria. not long after that he started producing his own stuff. his first release was on balihu, daniel wang s label. in the meantime he also released records on tirk, permanent vacation and gomma, and remixed artists like human league, the phenomenal handclap band, lindstrom... now we are proud to announce ilya s first release on eskimo, burning jupiter. it s the predecessor to his artist album coming up later in 2010 and showcases perfectly exactly why we wanted him so much to join the eskimo family

rennie foster follows the success of the anthemic devils water with a new single and long awaited album in 2010...

ideen zwischen bollywood und beethoven: zweites album der us-indie-rocker.einige bands bleiben immer bei ihrem alten strickmuster, andere ver?ndern sich von album zu album radikal. vampire weekend haben bei ihrem zweiten album weder das eine noch das andere getan. oder vielleicht beides: >wir klingen mehr wie vampire weekend als auf der ersten platte< meint denn auch schlagzeuger christopher tomson. dabei sprudelt >contra< ?ber an frischen ideen, es pr?sentiert sich dem h«rer kurz und straff durchkomponiert (zehn titel in 39 minuten), die songs setzen sich fast unmerklich mit so schwierigen themen wie verlust, angst und dem tod auseinander. ein gewagtes, ein gelungenes unterfangen. die aufnahmen begannen im januar 2009 in new york, nur zwei wochen nachdem die jungs von ihrer 18-monatigen welttournee zur?ckkamen.
auf >contra< haben verschiedene musikalische stile, kunstformen und philosophien ihren einfluss genommen: third wave ska, the hallelujah chicken run band, brasilianischer baile-funk, kongolesische daumenklaviere, repo man, reggaeton, bollywood, philip roth, beethoven, dancehall und die beastie boys wurden dezent und kultiviert verarbeitet.

as with all diynamic releases, we keep the text short and let the music do the talking… and boy does diynamic 034 talk! the fourth installment in our remix:session series sees two of the most in form producers of today get to grips with tracks from solomun’s highly acclaimed debut album ‘dance baby’. we are excited to welcome ‘mr. 2009&#8242,,,,, joris voorn, who delivers a stunning rework of ‘after rain comes sun’, and ‘mr. 8bit’, our funky brother, gorge who turns in an equally impressive remix of ‘boys in the hood’. shaking house grooves and funk fueled basslines rule the day, and we couldn’t think of start to 2010! enjoy!

alex smoke returns to the fore with his new single lux+ in advance of his third album >lux< which will be released feb 2010. the new album is the result of his hard work and delves into more abstract and experimental territory whilst retaining the melancholic musicality and cohesion of its predecessors.

minor love features 14 brand new tracks from americas number 1 greatest singer!. minor love found green enlisting the talents of rodrigo from little joy and other hanger ons, like his brother joel (and look a likes joe steinbrick and greg from megapuss). the album showcases a tender side of the often arrogant and emotionally unavailable bully / singer, green. in a total state of isolation, green attempted to play nearly all the instruments on the record, due to incurable social phobias which plagued him. apparently the inspiration for this album lies in greens fatalism - you might want to take that with a pinch of salt though!

>fall into me< finally marks the release of the last and keenly awaited single from jay haze aka fuckponys masterpiece >let the love flow<. the album title says it all - >fall into me< sounds incredibly light, yet catchy and full of energy - a free fall onto the worlds softest pillow. this is how house must sound to lovers. house with soul can be taken literally in this case, as jay has called upon the expert support of laila tov and chela simone. the latterenjoys an international standing and has already lent her sublime, very unique voice to kikis hit single >good voodoo<. here she combines inextricably with jays compact sound aesthetic and makes >fall into me< positively shine.with its atmospheric intro and broad musical range, the original on the a-side sees a welcome reappearance of certain must-have features which will have the hairs on your neck standing up... the accompanying video was shotby emmy nominee daniel michael gahr with chela simone and laila tov in the woods of san francisco.
marco passarani has done the honours on the flip side. a workaholic from the eternal city of rome, marco is the linchpin of the italian techno scene. he produces under the aliases js pool, monomorph and ambit 3 for the labels skam, hymen, clone and peacefrog, and also runs his own labels plasmek, pigna and nature records marcos >fall into me< remix is unmistakably influenced by hiscarefully nurtured detroit roots. however, he employs these stylistic elements very discreetly, retains beats, melody and vocals in his arrangement, takes out a little of the decorative padding from the album, then finally hits us with a wonderful, trancey eight-tone sequence to send us into the realm of dancefloor dreams for ever.

pawel ist ein glücksfall für die tanzfläche, die essenz des nächtlichen glanzes !! nach 3 alben als turner die auf ladomat und zuletzt auf mute erschienen kommt nun nach 10 jahren sein pawel debut album. ein gemeinsamer einfluss vieler stücke des albums ist der umgang mit arpeggiohaften melodietonfolgen, die an minimal musik eines steve reich gleichermassen erinnern wie an jeff mills oder robert hood !!!

with five beat pharmacy albums and almost a dozen vinyl releases on francois ks deep space imprint, this dubby and eclectic project of brendon moeller needs no introduction.
chugging along at 120bpm, underpinned by a thick sub-dub bassline and a modulating maurizio-style synth cord arpeggio, pump is a hypnotic slap of deep smoky house with some memorable hooks to boot. swirling rhodes keyboards and a slick piano riff serve as a lovely counterpoint to the swinging funk of the hi-hat groove. forever morphing and evolving, the stready and unrelenting groove are guaranteed to keep heads bobbing and toes tapping!
the first remix here is by echospace head honcho, stephen hitchell under his intrusion guise. stripping away and re-contextualizing the key elements in the track, hitchell crafts a warehouse-style dj-tool that subtlely weaves its way into ones subconscious via a delightful psychedelic keyboard hook.
londons bearweasel takes a similar approach, except with a much more pronounced beat track superbly trippy atmosphere. a top notch dj tool thats likely to be spun worldwide.
all round a quality release with enough sensibility and character to be played for years to come.

dollar mambo is a fantasizing. his name is taken from the title of paul leducs film. a movie realized in panama where you find no dialogues but only music and dance to narrate the story. like in the seven dollar album, all tracks have an authentic south colour and are built, not like a film but in a way where everyone can easily imagine a sketch. all tunes are about dancing, intensity, surprising and finally a great tribute to musicians. youll find a lot of sampled instruments from massive percussion, trombone, trumpet, voice (soleil) to guitar, gitarone (gringo) and marimba (wonderful)... like a dream this album is born for those who are searching for something different, illuminating and deeply happy

hyperdubs original female producer ikonika comes with this long awaited release that lives up to all expectations, presenting two brilliant tracks that set the scene for her debut album due early in 2010.

nice price deal !!! lissat & voltax, paul morrell and costi.ro remix >world of change<, taken from soniques upcoming album.

after the much-lauded altair nouveau 12 inch, released in association with dfa, solardisco returns with a fine three track ep from the slovenian boy wonder igor skafar aka ichisan. space patrol is a slice of lindstrom-inspired disco genius , robots from above nods to an italo influence while atanamamo is aimed square at the dancefloor with early support from the likes of aeroplane and pete herbert among others. with releases on eskimo, airtight and rare wiri already under his belt, a debut album (along with co-producer ule nakova) is due out early 2010 on nang, however, not before another release on airtight (with remix from bjorn torske no less), one on jisco/under the shade and a remix of legendary disco outfit space. expect to see/hear much more from ichisan in the very near future!

like his dj status, as a producer, jesse rose is a guarantee. world-renowned for the sound he created with long term mentor and dubsided label boss dave switch taylor, jesse is now the guy you turn to when you want a dancefloor remix, lending his services to the likes of hot chip, simian mobile disco, underworld to name but a few. after the phenomenal success of jesse’s mighty debut album, >what do you do if you dont< comes the third single from the album – >well now<. if you havent already heard the hooky >well now< in the clubs or on the airwaves, where have you been? the original mix is exactly what you would expect of jesse with its cheeky vocal and typical comedy factor make this mix so catchy its hard not to recognise it after the first play. flipping over savage skulls add their remix treatment to the track. these talented swedish boys who already have a dubsided original release under their belt and a killer recent remix for major lazer, give >well now< their bass and bumps whilst putting a kaleidoscope of funk back into electro.

the phenomenal handclap band, are a many-membered ensemble which also features musicians from tv on the radio, jon spencer blues explosion and amy winehouses backing band the dap kings, all of whom contribute their individual talents to make for a very exciting whole. their sound is an anthemic, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive rock, disco, electro, and 60s soul with sprinklings of hip hop-styled orchestral breakbeats and moody, synth-soaked & heavy hooks. using live instrumentation to evoke the intricate arrangements of norman whitfield, quincy jones and phil spector as well as the pared down beats of contemporaries like the neptunes and danger mouse.
a prime example of this melting pot of styles, this single >15 to 20< , combines >vintage sounds of blondie and esg with some css and james murphy thrown in< (zane lowe, bbc 1) to make for an instantly catchy disco pop concoction thats times-tabling chorus will be as popular in the playground as on the hottest dancefloors. >15 to 20< enjoyed spot plays from the likes of radcliffe & maconie, john kennedy and zane lowe, who made it his >hottest record in the world< and went on to describe it as his >breakthrough record of the year so far.< press-wise it has featured in the nmes 10 tracks you have to hear & in the guardians film & music playlist.
live they are a core band of 8 all of whom participated on the album, being daniel collas (organ / vox), sean marquand (keys/effects), quinn luke (guitar / vox), luke o malley (guitar / vox), nick movshon (bass), patrick wood (drums / vox) amanda tomme (lead vox), laura marin (lead vox) with special guests from the album popping in all of the time. dont be surprised to find a 15 piece psychedelic, disco-matic, get down, groovy, hippy cult, rock spectacle-supergroup that really is not to be missed!

>the cockpit< is my personal favourite song of the chelonis album and it has taken my sleepless night (and days) to watch out for the right remixers. now that all new versions are ready, i m more than happy because all three fellows have felt the real vibe of the original song. a spezial thanx to ekkohaus who delivered two different mixes and spent a lot of energy and passion into these productions. and also merci to steve rachmad and paul woolford, guys who stand rather for techno, however improved their soul into creating passionated tech house! chapeau! (marc romboy, september the 28th 09)

so the story goes: fresh from releasing his debut 12inch as hunch for john dalys brilliant feel music hunee steps up with this fine double header. i ve been receiving a bunch of lovely tracks since i first met hunee a few years ago in berlin. some of these will soon materialize in a proper album but to start us off, heres brother and babel two slow grinding chuggers of the highest orders, stuck somewhere between an tropical island bar... and spaaaayaaaaayyaaaaaayyyaaaacccccceeee!!!!!!! peas.... in the middle east, thomas(oslo, 7th of august 2009)

>matias aguayo will change the way you think about dance music< - los angeles weekly ! das sensationelle dieser platte besteht darin, dass man nach den ersten paar takte schlichtweg vergisst, dass es sich um ein accapella-album handelt. wir dürfen mit stolz behaupten, dass aguayo mit seinen mitstreitern ein echter geniestreich gelungen ist.

nice price deal !!! following up on her unanimously acclaimed debut album may be later (vakant), chilean artist and berlin transplant alejandra iglesias conceived anemik entirely for the wagon repair label after being approached by label head mathew jonson. a musing on femininity and the fine line between romance and delirium, anemik transcends borders in its range of influence and reflects consciousness in the fluidity and tangibly live origins of its creation. recorded using analog equipment and acoustic instruments with a strong emphasis on voice, there is a wisdom and maturity to this work that suggests an artist in the prime of her life.

album of one of the most talked about electro acts of the moment. one luxemburgish, one lebanese, one french, one musical language which takes its source from the academic knowledge of juilliard school of n.y.c. but raises itself above the classic, contemporary, rock and electronic genres. the first album of aufgang knocks down, surprises, and lays down matchless basis for reinterpretations. after >sonar< released earlier this year, here is the full lengh album ... future classic.

das album past & present greift alte und neue einflüsse auf und reflektiert in gewisser weise die letzten 20 jahre von toni rios

for more than 15 years now, steve bug is known for influential track somewhere in between house, techno and minimalism. with his very good sense for the energy of self-limitation, bug has set standards when it comes to the funk of modern sound geometry, especially with his imprint poker flat recordings. milestones such as >loverboy<, >monsterbaze< or >wet n dry< are now essential elements of the history of electronic dance music. only a few weeks after the release of his fourth album collaboratory, bug even tops that one with this 12 inch on cocoon: while look whos stalking obviously refers to steves close relation to the raw energy of u.s. house in between chicago trax and detroit, using driving hand claps, percussions and nasty vocals, the flipside zero balance could pass as a vision of how far you can reduce techhouse to the essence of a bass line. also here, short vocal loops - besides the fast-moving elements - complete a sensibility that makes bugs tracks such high quality music for a very long time now.

raz ohara and his odd orchestra return for their second album for get physical. >ii< is the follow up album to the critically acclaimed self titled raz ohara & the odd orchestra cd that is considered being one of the album highlights in 2008. its a warm, organic collection of avant-garde, open-hearted pop music which positively teems with life, a forest of pleasures and possibilities which youll want to lose yourself in indefinitely.
>ii< is certainly less melancholic than its predecessor – its imbued with good feeling, energised by the rhythms and cadences of summer and the great outdoors - but its not euphoric, there is an underlying note of caution, of trepidation. this emotional mix is what makes the record so powerful, especially when allied to a similarly ambiguous musical mix: which imperceptibly melds folk, classic pop, electro-acoustic experimentation and modernist electronics. 10 beautiful songs plus a special download (code included in the artwork) of the single >miracle< make this album a perfect journey through the winter days.

today, krikors musical style has become more hybrid than ever, a personal synthesis of his musical obsessions : the fat groove and old drum machines of chicago house, the abstract sounds of minimal techno, the urge and energy of rock(abilly), the harshness of industrial music, the dark romantism of folk anti-heroes from the 60s and the forward thinking of grm lab rats (pierre schaeffer, pierre henry..). the result of this synthesis is a first album >land of truth< at last, after 10 years of waiting. its an intimate and ambitious album, bitter and sweet. 11 cinematic songs featuring the voices of krikor himself and also nicolas ker (from poni hoax) on >god will break it all< and >dogs on trial<, chloe (the french dj) on >everything fades< and chloe (the english punkette of battant) on >the times<.
