shadowy multidisciplinary artist & videographer denial.of.service returns to film for an extended ep of wrought iron electronics, channeling the spirit of classic electro, industrial & noise. the artist, active since the 1980’s producing video work for a host of high profile names - including not least david bowie, currently transmits sporadically from an undisclosed location, though contemporary work has appeared on the creators project, as well as making the vimeo staff picks on an almost regular basis. recently, video commissions for minimal wave & jealous god affiliate in aeternam vale have ap-peared online, showcasing the artist’s trademark crushed, hallucinatory visual aesthetic.

langeweile. faulheit. totale teilnahmslosigkeit. ist es nun schon eine so genannte quarter life crisis oder einfach nur eine ausrede, um blo§ nie erwachsen werden zu mŸssen? fragen wie diese, sind die eckpunkte jener welt, in die washed out mit seinem ambitionierten neuen visual-album mister mellow aufbricht. fŸr viele, viele vertreter der generation y ist das leben derma§en dramatisch und problematisch, dass es mithin schon absurde zŸge annimmt. und die methoden, mit denen sie sich von den ganzen unsicherheiten und unwŠgbarkeiten abzulenken versuchen, die zu ihrem alltag gehšren, sind dabei nicht weniger absurd - da ist alles von social media bis hin zu fantasywelten dabei, von drogenexzessen bis zu musik-eskapismus. mister mellow, das erste komplett als multimedia-werk angelegte album von washed out, fŸhrt durch all die hšhen und tiefen dieser oftmals lŠcherlichen alltagskŠmpfe und beleuchtet dabei augenzwinkernd auch das gro§e paradox, dem man immer wieder begegnet: wie kann es sein, dass wir derma§en unzufrieden und gelangweilt sind, wo wir doch eigentlich alle erdenklichen privilegien genie§en und somit mehr als zufrieden sein kšnnten? auf -mister mellow- dominieren eher experimentelle collage-techniken ˆ la musique concr�te. free jazz, house, hip-hop und psychedelic haben allesamt ihren platz in dieser welt, in der auch interlude-artige voiceover-samples aufblitzen, woraus sich insgesamt ein hektisch-chaotischer und karikaturistischer mix ergibt, in dem sich die reizŸberflutete psyche dieser generation widerspiegelt.

sorgfältig zusammengestellte vinyl-kompilation mit remasterten afro-highlights.
aus dem ghanaischen musikstil highlife und us-amerikanischem jazz der 1960er-jahre fusionierte fela kuti einst das genre afrobeat. es hat in den vergangenen jahrzehnten schon so manche mutation erfahren, blieb aber immer eins: vitaler ausdruck ungebremster lebensfreude. wie attraktiv dieser auch für europäische ohren klingt, unterstreicht einmal mehr die lp-kompilation -wanted afrobeat-. sie ist bestandteil der exklusiven serie -wanted collection- des französischen labels wagram. die reihe widmet sich mit vier parallel veröffentlichten zusammenstellungen auf 180-gramm-vinyl den genres afrobeat, soul, funk und reggae, und damit dem besten, was black music zu bieten hat. was die editionen so besonders macht, ist neben dem sorgsam ausgewählten und remasterten songmaterial das ansprechende erscheinungsbild, das auf fotos des britischen fotografen chris steel-perkins zurückgeht. -wanted afrobeat- enthält neun songs von größen wie mulatu astatke, livy ekemezie, pat thomas und peter king.

baker’s dozen heads back to the east coast where veteran producer marco polo brings a welcomed boom bap flavor to the series. new york city is the birthplace of fat beats (and as many would say, hip-hop in general) and current nyc resident marco polo is true to form in representing our roots. as always, every volume of bdz features one artist and twelve tracks (with limited random copies including the baker’s dozen bonus track on a flexidisc) and comes equipped with a 5x7” postcard insert that features a photo of the artist’s workspace along with the equipment used in their music making process. a personal narrative of how they got into beat making in the first place is featured on the back of the jacket. visually cohesive and packaged with the utmost attention to detail, baker’s dozen is a series that speaks up for artists whose craft renders voices superfluous, and whose instrumentals alone suffice to make a statement.

solo project of vanishing twin (soundway) member. the song cucumuber sword feat. vocals by taishi nagasaka (fat white family) man from uranus has been making music inspired by the freakier edges of 60s and 70s library music and jazz for almost 2 decades, and like his predecessors - sun ra, space lady - he s never really fitted in, feeling more comfortable exploring cosmic realms than than with his feet firmly on his own planet. a prolific composer and home recordist, he has garnered a reputation for eccentric live shows, each presenting an entirely new repertoire. alien flowers, in a limited edition of 300, is one of few recordings capturing the spirit of an artist who is unwittingly on his way to attainting cult status. alien flowers has been played on nts, the wire s adventures in sound and music and the independent music podcast. support from the sunday experience, tom furse (the horrors), jonny trunk, doug shipton (finders keepers), emily bick (the wire) and anthony chalmers (baba yaga s hut).

panorama bar resident nick ho&#776,,,,,ppner gets to work on his second solo album on ostgut ton, connecting the territories of house music with the ease of alt-pop. work as in labor. an axiom that fuels the capitalist system just as the techno/house scene economy says that one needs to keep oneself busy to make a living. as a musician, things are complicated of course. itÕs a long way from the romantic idea of creating music simply for the sake of art to becoming a full time musician. those who have accomplished this feat often find themselves in a professional loop of writing the music, producing it, promoting it (with an info text like this), releasing it and then hopefully selling it. after leaving his full time job as ostgut tonÕs label manager in 2012, nick ho&#776,,,,,ppner went fully freelance, focusing on his musically diverse, deep and dynamic djing in and outside berghainÕs panorama bar, but more importantly spending more time in the studio. the result was his critically acclaimed debut album folk (ostgut ton, 2015), various 12Ò releases and remixes, and now his sophomore lp, work, which, more than ever, lays out his refined production skills and his talent to work the machines until they reveal their inner ghosts: nine new songs that now dodge the dance floor, then fully embrace it.

over two decades have passed since the mover aka marc acardipane made his first appearance to the world of electronic dance music. under the wings of planet core productions (pcp) his releases spoke for themselves and he quickly earned a special pioneer status and cult following. the mover was always a unique sound leaning towards the edge of darkness and abstract characteristics. with several releases on his co-owned label pcp as well as r&s records and tresor he always managed to create unforgettable milestones of raw, apocalyptic yet danceable tunes that have remained timeless and individual until today. with the mover – selected classics (remastered 2017)- on his freshly launched label planet phuture- he returns to the surface and shakes the world with a compelling assortment of the most impactful tracks in a remastered, fresh sound quality. experience an uncompromising dystopia with tracks like nightflight (nonstop 2 kaos), into wasteland- or we have arrived. astral demons, waves of life or spirit slasher will pull you deeper into the center of your subconscious mind and certainly leave you dazzled. the mover - selected classics is unquestionably one of those releases that can t be ignored and must be a part of everyones techno collection!

scotland s premier electro alchemist is back on shipwrec and this time flying solo with five shards of sharpened machine music. beats rain down in solid sheets, a hail of drum patterns pelt and pound. acid scorn, speeding snares and scorched sound roar and rumble in the menacing -days of rage.- the 12- hisses and howls, sending forth a searing line of percussion as gears crank and grown. -glasgow to detroit- is just as fiery, scorn and sparks leaping off burning bars. aggression is always at the surface, and behind the razor rhythms lurks a palpable paranoia, as in -daisy cutter- or -uprising.- the only respite comes with the complex and textured -stones and sticks.- harsh mechanics from an industrial heartland.

with their first two daptone albums – get an understanding, and as featured singers on como now – the como mamas established themselves as three of the strongest voices in gospel music today.
in december of 2015, they cemented that reputation by taking their first trip from their home in como, ms up to harlem, ny to crush the apollo theater as part of the daptone super soul revue. taking full advantage of their presence in town, the daptone crew brought ester mae wilbourn, della daniels, and angelia taylor into the house of soul the week after the show to join forces for the first time with the musicians and studio that has defined their label’s sound. jimmy hill, thomas brenneck, homer steinweiss, and bosco mann, all stalwarts of the daptone stable, came together as “the glorifiers band,” to put down a churning musical foundation for these amazing singers. the results are some of the heaviest tracks that daptone has cut to date. if you don’t like raw, soulful gospel music, you’re really gonna hate this one. move upstairs is a real mother!
