ah! kosmos das ist ein bestŠndiges wunder, in dem wir hier mittendrin stecken. beim hšren ihrer tracks bleibt immer wieder nur stauen. den soundtrack zu love & awe spielt seit einem halben jahrzehnt basak gŸnak, sound-designerin, produzentin und multi- instrumentalistin aus istanbul. auch auf ihrem zweiten album ãbeautiful swampÒ verbindet sie elastische bis hart knisternde percussions mit melodischen soundlandschaften. dabei gehšren der universalismus der musik und persšnlicher freiheit untrennbar zusammen: tief im gewebe ihrer tracks aus downbeat und deep house, aus tŸrkischen klangtraditionen und exotischen revieren stecken auch €ngste, glŸck und dŸsternis: gŸnaks musik fŠngt auf, was sie in ihrem leben zwischen istanbul und berlin verarbeitet und Ÿberwindet. den hšrenden bleiben so nicht nur soundscapes zu erkunden, sondern vielschichtige, emotionale kosmen, die mit jeder neuen klangschicht ihre widerhaken ins hirn schlagen. lovely mystical electronics!

after establishing himself with rough but emotive house as rimbaudian and jungle as birds of sweden, he unveiled his dj seinfeld alias to the world, first with underground hit single u, then with his time spent away from u album on lobster fury in november 2017. it was a post break-up love letter to the dance floor with heart-on-sleeve emotions colouring the dusty and analogue house grooves. acclaim came in from far and wide, with everyone from rolling stone to pitchfork fawning over its heart swelling nostalgia and melancholic immediacy. jakobsson approached his dj-kicks with the intention of representing all the things that made him fall in love with dance music more than a decade ago, as well as showing some of the progression that has occurred in that time and reflecting the simultaneous fear of leaving something safe behind as well as the excitement of venturing into unknown territories, musically and emotionally.

everything begins with changes, whether you re moving geographically or emotionally. aeraÕs album ãthe sound pathÓ tells the story of this sentiment.
born in the high north of germany and now a berlin resident, ralf schmidt aka aera first appeared on the electronic music map when he established his own aleph music label back in 2010. with only a handful of releases, aera was able to lay out his very own musically topography on the cutting edges between house, psychedelia and breakbeats. this colourful mix culminated on his debut album ãoffseason travellerÓ in 2013, resonating the past forty years of electronic music, which brought him the attention of a wider audience as well as fellow djs and producers. so it was a logical consequence that his talent also attracted other labels and lead to widely praised releases on innervisions, maeve or john talabotÕs hivern discs. with these, aeraÕs sound bloomed further into bubbly acid and trancey territorries and his fine reputation as a singular producer, travelling dj and remixer flourished. with ãthe sound pathÓ aera continues his musical travels and permanent vacation is gladly hitchhiking on that ride. his second album is the most coherent and definitely most personal work to date. here, he has perfected his sound even further - adding nuances from the meadows of new age, kraut cliffs and high-flying kites of ambient. complete with the cinematic and nature-esque qualities of ralfÕs music, it will draw you in deeply through a great variety of landscapes before your inner eye. however, youÕll never lose track, because this path is beautifully illuminated.

on limited edition compact disc. generated instinctively in the moment from resampled chunks of previous output sandwiched between unheard waveforms from a distant future whilst underwritten by voltage controlled rumblings from actual synthesisers than can be seen and touched and wrecked by roadies. traversing known knowns and unknown knowns from drone to drone. harvesting new and slightly less new artefacts of the digitaux variety and crash landing in the ghetto of the lysergic jungles visited by g@ng5tas of yesteryear, all for your personal enjoyment. performed live at the red rattler in sydney, australia on the 16th of april 2017 for the strange signals / house of mince crews, the performance is slightly more than just the insane ejaculations of an unhinged mind, but a true insight into one of the internets least popular twitter accounts.

house music broke through in 1987, at the same time when aids arrived in france with the first contamination peak in gay and drug addict circles. in 1989, the founders of act-up paris knew that both the fight against aids and triumphant house music should be joined together. from 1992 to 1995, the period covered by Ò120 bpm-, house reached its most beautiful plateau even though techno was becoming dominant. Ò120 bpmÓ is a get-together moment through clubbing, this moment where fears are forgotten by dancing with oneÕs friends, what we called Òthe chosen familyÓ at act-up. boys and girls dancing in a club where the walls cannot be seen, flooded with simple light. this is their activist recess. arnaud rebotini, composing the soundtrack of robin campilloÕs previous film, Òeastern boys-, is a recognized dj, a composer and a kind man, which is for me the most important quality. here, his work is marked by restraint of his love for house and after techno. i believe he deliberately withdrew himself in relation to the filmÕs power and the aids theme.

south african house music artist sir lsg debuts his first album, a stunningly crafted piece of art for which he pulled together an impressive collective of international vocalists, musicians and collaborators. titled Ômoving circlesÕ, the longplayer represents the concept of life seen as a journey. it highlights events of love, life, inspiration, sadness and loneliness in one big turn.

dutch producer and live act conforce is back with autonomous , a fifth artist album and the latest in his long relationship with delsin records. conforce is boris bunnik, a producer who explores the deepest realms of dub, house, techno and electro under many different names. his conforce alias is where his most club orientated material comes from and this new nine track album finds the transcendent label boss producing dark syntheses inspired by his hometown and harbour city, rotterdam, and its automated industries. a masterfully conceptual album that really paints a vivid picture of a harbour as heard from deep down in the depths.

bicep (matt mcbriar und andy ferguson), das aus belfast stammende und in london lebende duo, freut sich, sein selbstbenanntes debŸtalbum ankŸndigen zu dŸrfen! eine platte, die wahrhaftig ihre geschichte sowie ihre liebe zu musik und clubkultur seit ihrem ersten release im jahr 2010 einfŠngt. am 1. september 2017 erscheint -bicep- via ninja tune. seit beginn ihrer mittlerweile zehn jahre wŠhrenden karriere haben sie der musik, die sie inspirierte, auf ihrem blog feelmybicep gehuldigt. der 2008 gegrŸndete blog, der anfangs blo§ ein ventil fŸr ihre intensiven plattensammelgewohnheiten war, erfuhr in folge einen rasanten erfolg und lie§ das gleichnamige label sowie eine regelmŠ§ige clubnacht entstehen. durch den blog wurden auch die musik-produzierenden macher dahinter weltweit immer bekannter und verlie§en bald die insel, um rund um den globus hei§begehrte dj-sets zu spielen. die aufgabe war, die vielfalt zu reprŠsentieren, fŸr den ihr blog immer gestanden hatte: eine tadellos ausgewŠhlte mischung sehr direkter tracks und exklusiver edits, gemixt mit rarem house und disco cuts, die sie wiederentdeckten, entstaubten und neues leben einhauchten. heutzutage sind sie angesehene und zuverlŠssige kuratoren in sachen elektronischer musik. ihr album -bicep- ist die perfekte zusammenfassung der bisherigen karriere des duos - es ist eine klangliche reise durch ihre geschichte, die deutlich eckpunkte der untergrund-clubkultur referenziert. matt und andy haben eine einmalige elektronische platte produziert, die einerseits auf klassischem house, techno, elektro und italo-disco fu§t, andererseits aber den typischen bicep-sound in sich trŠgt. entstanden ist ein prŠgnantes album: frei, rau und dynamisch genug fŸr den dancefloor, gleichwohl raffiniert, kunstvoll komponiert und besinnlich genug, um es auch zuhause zu hšren.

* 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

since the millennium 2raumwohnung unites electronic sounds and pop melodies in a variety of ways. the early singles wir trafen uns in einem garten (2000) or 2 von millionen sternen (2001) playfully communicated the life-style of a new berlin. the duo, consisting of inga humpe and tommi eckart, started as a studio project and continued to develop via eight album productions. at the same time, an important impulse included developments in techno or house music. their most successful album 36 grad stayed in the german album-charts for 33 weeks, 2raumwohnung continued to expand their stage range as well.

featuring a host of luminaries from the world of soul & r&b, chart-topping songwriter and award winning producer mike city presents new album Ôthe feel good agenda vol.1Õ. earning his big break back in the year 2000 as writer and producer of a #1 hit in the form of Ôi wishÕ performed by carl thomas, mike went on to work with brandy, rihanna, angie stone and jamie foxx as well as penning sunshine andersonÕs smash hit Ôheard it all beforeÕ. renowned for his deeply rooted, melodic production style and distinctive vocal arrangements, mike city consistently finds himself in-demand from a-list hip hop, r&b and pop artists, as well as finding favor in dance music circles during recent years. placing him inside their Ôtop 100 soulful house artists of 2016Õ, traxsource declared mike Òone of the soulful sceneÕs most in-demand producers, singers and songwritersÓ and Òa name synonymous with quality music, no matter the genreÓ. a highly accomplished vocalist in his own right, Ôthe feel good agenda vol.1Õ sees mike take centre stage, showcasing a selection of previously unreleased songs with a little help from his friends. best described as r&binfused dance music, the album boasts cameo vocal appearances from leading lights of the urban music scene including: faith evans, lalah hathaway, dwele, teedra moses and the man whose voice kick-started mikeÕs stellar career, carl thomas.

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.

pilocka krach still means nothing but pilocka noise. sheÕs the charming queen of berlins post techno underground and a true recording & perfoming artist. her new release on her very own imprint greatest hits international is a conceptional framed double vinyl album and a journey diary of her last two years on tour around the globe, with mexico, detroit and her hometown roots in berlin as fixpoints on her neverending agenda. pilocka krach is ãsugar caneÒ & ãthe lost amigosÒ, her band and all at once. her style is pure electro post rave simplicity, where each single sound is either raw sampling cuts or deep growling synthesis. big basslines meet funky grooves and surprising hooks, grooving along with her own voice and a lot of other vocal features, whereever you go. each Ôn everthing gets the room it deserves and mingles alltogether to so much more, than just another stereo sum. never heard an album that dry and that wet at the same time, with an overall fun and jam factor, that is truly touching. she took her original style more than just a few steps further and sharpened her skills in an impressive and real straight forward way of raw funkyness and true storytelling. you canÕt listen to it without moving. pilocka is always surfing the right balance of how much, or better how less it needs, to keep it going, get down to the point of no return and beyond the miracle of repetition.

after their first (very) successful album, cassius decided not to rely on their natural ability to make us dance to their groovy basslines, and came back with a daring project: integrate some mostly african-american influenced singings in their compositions to give electronic music a new dimension. dont worry, the catchy-rythmic sound of cassius is still here. you might recognise the voice of ghostface killah, one of wu tang clans members that delivers a punchy performance on the upbeat tempo track thrilla, as well as steve edwards, the house music singer who sang with swedish producer axwell, and whos also known for having lent his voice to bob sinclar on the famous world, hold on. were releasing the album once more, so that you can get back into the fabulous swing of cassius.

this repress comes as a jewelcase single cd version. a project that came to life fuelled by collectorsÕ obsession and a lifelong willingness to dive head- first into unknown musical wormholes, miles whittaker and sean canty have never been defined by a singular musical trajectory. their opening salvo of releases dabbled with the aesthetic of the occult and provided an alternate, parallax view of the italian library records with which they were both obsessed at the time, but as their long running mixtape series and brilliantly curated dds label attest, their interests extend far outside the crevices of early electronic music and into dance music, dancehall, roots, jungle, techno, industrial, noise and beyond. while 2013Õs testpressing series provided an outlet for mostly club-based productions shot from the hip, wonderland has been constructed with a narrative in mind. from the clipped hardstyle of the opening curzon, through the jaunty dancehall mutations of animal style and fulledge, exotica/house refractions on hardnoise, the frankly ridiculous, bassbin destroying jungle ructions on sourcer, or the extended tease of overstaying, itÕs probably the most enjoyable and loose-limbed hour of music in their catalogue, or that youÕll likely hear in these weird, angst-ridden times.

the reveries begin with a simple electrical hum Ð a starting signal for the appearance of a vibrant array of sound, shifting before us in seemingly random motion. before we know it, all those pulsating melodies, razor-cut hifi-house beats and drunken robot jazz ensembles start forming into patterns, secretly & perfectly designed by one art alfie. a long time operator in stockholmÕs small but insistent underground music scene, oscar wedrŽn broke through internationally in 2012 with the karlovak project, founded with on-off studio and dj partner rudolf nordstršm, a.k.a. mr. tophat. the duoÕs inexplicably fresh takes on classic dance music tropes is as much a result of a brilliantly odd pairing of personalities as of a defined concept and a precise method in searching for the perfect house groove. while writing reveries of, released early spring 2017 through studio barnhus, art alfie freed himself of all conceptual footholds, delving instead deep into his archives of old and new memories and feels, working with improptu field recordings and emotionally-guided sampling processes. he came back with an intricate and personal debut album and he didnÕt lose his groove on the way.

simon green, alias bonobo, kehrt mit seinem sechsten album zurŸck, dem meisterlichen, gebieterischen migration ein werk mit dem er sich ein fŸr alle mal an der spitze der elektronischen musik verortet. in abwechselnden zŸgen opulent, manisch, wunderschšn, melancholisch, freudig, voller emotion und technischer fertigkeit, ist dies womšglich sein bislang ehrgeizigster versuch, die grundlegende beschaffenheit menschlicher existenz und deren ausgedehnte dynamik zu erfassen. neben zeitgenossen wie four tet, jon hopkins oder caribou, zŠhlen wiz khalifa, skrillex, disclosure oder warpaint zu bonobos prominentesten fans. sein 2013er album the north borders erreichte im uk die top 30 und katapultierte sich auf platz 1 der elektronischen charts, sowohl in den usa als auch im uk. im zuge dessen spielte sein 12-kšpfiges kollektiv weltweit Ÿber 175 konzerte, darunter zwei ausverkaufte shows im sydney opera house, ein ganztŠgiges festival im londoner roundhouse, eine ausverkaufte show im londoner alexandra palace sowie einige renommierte festival-slots. inzwischen verfŸgt bonobo rund um den globus Ÿber eine umfangreiche, loyale und engagierte fanbase. mehr als eine halbe million verkaufte alben und Ÿber 150 millionen spotify-streams gehen auf sein konto und verdeutlichen den erfolg, den sich dieser ruhige, bescheidene mann erarbeitet hat. dank -migration- wird seine wunderschšn raffinierte und gefŸhlsgeladene musik in kŸrze ein noch grš§eres publikum erreichen. das zutiefst persšnliche kann schlie§lich ebenso gut allgemein gŸltig sein

at the end of august, sound artists and producers drvg cvltvre, strict nurse, staplerfahrer and pim kersten examined the audio capabilities of a huge steel art structure. in a 5 hour session they scraped, pushed, hit, wiped, connected and kissed the steel rings. everything was recorded and these three tracks are the results of those sessions. they were recorded live in park 013, where the iconostase was housed and which adds a sea of dark reverb to the sounds of the steel rings

a year after their impressive last album burn it down, detroit techno legends octave one are back with a nine track double ep that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves. entitled love by machine, the albums name is a nod to the fact that the burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. that is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the 80s, most often releasing on their own 430 west label, which is where they appear again here.

les graciŽs is a collaboration in the truest sense between paris-based sound artist ga‘l segalen and deepblak co-founder afrikan sciences. segalenÕs experiments in electroacoustic sound met the wider world this year via a debut lp for erratum, an arresting work that showcases her ability to merge hypnotic murk ala angus maclise with the hard concrŽte of parmegiani & reibel. segalenÕs ihearu imprint / organisation is a platform for her various doings, including psychogeographical audio works and multi-media collaborations, as well as servicing as a reference point for other contemporary female artists working across various mediums. eric douglas porter aka african sciences has been deconstructing and re-building forms of contemporary black music since the mid-2000Õs, through releases on deepblak (the label he co-runs with aybee) and pan. his musical universe is one of warping cadences and celestial melody, referencing the bold work of percussionists like milford graves & art jenkins, the dissonant chords of motor city techno and stripped back essence of early chicago house matched with broken hard bop sentiments: all tied together with an aesthetic that sits somewhere between sun raÕs omniverse, jean giraud mÏbius and dogon cosmology. together as le graciŽs, segalen and porter make a wholly unclassifiable strain of music that, while containing recognisable elements of each individual s work, also creates a third entity in the process, which can be heard to stunning effect on their forthcoming debut lp Ôlow dosesÕ for firecracker recordings.
