metropolis- is it an actual city or a digital fantasy a construct formed inside a synthetic brain? either way this is the soundtrack to a city that exists somewhere. a place that comes alive at nightfall and breathes artificial light until dawn. where millions of human threads interweave, and a machine conciousness drifts by on the periphery, searching for an intimate connection. limited pressing.

roger gerressen about his project >lunar phases< : -when thinking about the lights of the night the first thing that came to my mind was the moon. you look at it daily and we are all affected by it so much. since the project contains eight tracks and the moon travels through eight phases every month it seemed like an obvious choice to choose this subject for the lp. the first part of the lp is the >new moon<, when the people (and the music) are mellow and relaxed. the second part of the lp is darker, faster and more chaotic, which is more likely to be the effect a >full moon< has on people.-

following on from her highly acclaimed ett lp on editions mego klara lewis presents 4 new works which further her signature explorations of field recordings, electronics, rhythm, sound and atmosphere. here lewis exemplifies her uncanny ability to harness the world outside in order to reconstruct and re-present this as amorphous musical matter. these 4 new tracks exude a certain ambiguity where standard signposts such as rhythm, ambience, texture, light and dark remain as elusive as they are present. whilst bypassing passive or photographic representation of the source material these works withhold a strong emotional quality resulting in a confident and at times brutal musical manifestation. as suggested by the title, msuic resides in a zone at once familiar and slightly off kilter, a world of lewis devising in which the listener is warmly encouraged to enter and explore. msuic is another superb collection of music as fantastic matter.

low-down and dirty jazz goes right back to the early 1900s in storyville, after the bands had played their hot tunes in the evening for dancing couples, the musicians would head off to the after-hours joints and play a less energetic but more bluesy kind of music, enabling them and their late-night audiences to get through to the early hours of the morning without suffering total exhaustion. and nobody in new orleans laid into the blues so low down and dirty as buddy bolden, whose funky butt became a staple in the repertoire of the citys early jazz bands.
jacksonville, florida, 1960. charles hungry williams mentors young clayton fillyau after he had just joined the james brown band: *i dont care where you put it on those drums, remember where 1 is and you ll never lose the time. listen to hungry on huey smiths *talk to me baby* and then listen to how clayton turns it into a relentless breakbeat on james browns *i ve got money*. earl kings *trick bag*, prefiguring the meters, is as good an example of early new orleans funk as can be found.

an ornate globe made with many layers of exotic woods spins on its axis. through the stained glass window diffuse light casts russet hews across the study. looking out over the walled garden to an orchard, great swollen purple and black fruits hang malevolently from mangled moss-covered trees. a gentle wind pushes the tangled branches and as they creak and moan the fruits thud lazily to the ground, gathering in mouldering clusters on the dewy grass.

a lot of water has passed under the bridge since the release of etienne jaumet’s night music, dating from october 2009. his hypnotizing music and enchanting live performances put him directly on the map. it’s just him who is in control of his ship. he moves without complexes from his saxophone to his drum machine (his beloved tr 808) while turning knobs modulating synths, and sending his voice through an echo.la visite, etienne’s brand new album, more luminous and jazzy than its predecessor, has been composed and produced within a two month period in the versatile studio. it became a piece of introspection, mentally as well as physically. in the title track, for which flop wrote the text, we hear etienne travelling through the inside of a body, fantastic voyage style.it is always surprising to see a record taking shape. etienne would arrive at the studio without any precise idea in head, approaching his work rather intuitively. he works standing up, which brings a very different energy than being seated behind a computer polishing up every detail. he is in total mastery of his set-up, ready to capture that short-lived moment of true creation. the only use a computer has for him, is to record his experiments - afterwards being mixed by jerome caron (blackjoy).in between night music and la visite, etienne has not been lazy. not only has he done numerous collaborations (amongst others with joakim, richard pinhas, francois & the atlas mountain) and picked up djing, he has also recorded a new zombie zombie album (rituels d’un nouveau monde) with cosmic neman, as well as the soundtrack loubia hamra. and he worked with artist felicie d estienne d orves on the installation satori. at this very moment, etienne and his saxophone are still part of the tour of james holden.

nice price deal !!! amazing & groundbreaking compilation!! with success comes ambition, and on the heels of two successful 12-inch releases that followed the changing seasons of 2013, studio r returns for fall 2014 with our most expansive offering yet. coming in the form of a 12 track triple ep, our third release revisits one illustrious name – fred p – while deepening the roster with a list of the renown like brendon moeller, exercise one and mike parker, hot upcoming names like zadig, dj spider, and hakim murphy, and lesser knowns, some new but others with long histories. those with their ears to the ground will certainly perk up for contributions from andré kronert and boyd schidt, each of which can trace their production histories back over a decade, the former as head of night drive music and the latter as half of the georgian duo greenbeam & leon. the remaining three – harry light, j&#363,,,ras lietus, and weitone – are all newer, with the first making his debut here, the second having debuted on our own wavereform imprint, and the third ostensibly new, although he may have some history we will not reveal here.

all-day and all-night cultural entertainment center and athenian place-to-be, six d.o.g.s, has launched its brand new label, six d.o.g.s records. its first release under the gilda series, which will be focusing on contemporary, club-oriented electronic music, is lemos *kay&#305,,,,kç&#305,,,,*. lemos, the wonder-boy of greek underground dance scene, delivers the goods with a cover of *kaykci*, a greek (with turkish-like aroma) folk song, originally written in 1948. the song is a staple of traditional greek music, having been covered by numerous artists through the years. lemos nine minute long take features the beautiful vocals of folk-jazz singer, natasha mindrinou. in typical lemos style, the track is a dubby techno - house trip to the stars, retaining the core of the original song, basic melodies and lyrics. this leads-up to a deep, hypnotic but epic, huge cut that will surely move after hours dancefloors all-over. a remix by kreon, the greek maitre of contemporary minimal techno. he takes the original parts of kay&#305,,,,kç&#305,,,, under a low key bass carpet that extends to 12 minutes. stripped down, with emphasis on crystal clear rhythmics and in full swing, the track takes a whole new meaning. smartly placed vocals that fit in the after-hours aura and a hands-up moment towards the end, kreon brings the heat akin to the sound of ricardo villalobos and rpr.

*one hand in the air* bezieht sich beispielsweise auf *so appalled* von kanye west - manfred mann hat dessen original nun neu arrangiert. mit the prodigy und disco boys verfährt manfred mann genauso. zudem liest sich die gästeliste beeindruckend: till brönner spielt auf jedem zweiten stück trompete, kris kristofferson leiht einem stück seine stimme und kanye west ist natürlich auch zu vernehmen. zudem wagt sich manfred mann an neuinterpretationen von klassikern wie *light my fire* oder *we will rock you* - absichtlich stücke, die weltweit hinlänglich bekannt sind. manfred mann erklärt: *gerade weil jeder die stücke in- und auswendig kennt, habe ich in meinen interpretationen die optimale freiheit. wenn ich passagen weglasse oder neu arrangiere, denkt der hörer diese ja trotzdem mit*. neuinterpretationen - von bob dylan bis bruce springsteen - haben manfred manns gesamte karriere geprägt, *lone arranger* führt diese tradition somit fort. und keine frage: das album bleibt bei aller konzeption typisch manfred mann, nicht zuletzt weil die spielfreude am keyboard vernehmbar ist.
