after his soul tinged #1 single >tonight<, migs returns back to basics with >dance and clap<, a fun, deep and dubby track based jam with an underground edge, containing plenty of knob tweaked pads, subtle synth melodies, thundering bass grooves, and rhythmic vocal arrangements. one for the dance floor in mind and reminiscent of his earlier track based works, migs knocks out these little gems for salted.

die erste single des neuen studioalbums >in our heads< von hot chip . irgendwo zwischen flirrenden beats und einer unerbittlichen und süchtig machenden basslinie intoniert eine verzerrte stimme: >i like zapp not zappa<. dieses aushängeschild des neuen albums ist ein dynamischer dance track, ein euphorischer ohrwurm, oder wie die band sagt weird-ass superfunk disco und zementiert einmal wieder hot chips position als talentierteste elektro-romantiker 2012. neben der albumversion und einem remix von 2 bears (featuring trim) findet sich auch ein neuer track auf der b-seite, der nicht auf dem album enthalten ist. tipp!

2012 - we are milleniumized neo, more than ever before. 1993, when techno was all over the place, german experts tommi eckart (at that time not 2raumwohnung yet) and ralf hertwig (at that time not palais schaumburg anymore) released a track, which found its way out there as a legendary underground-club classic in germany,england, benelux and france: the beat just goes straight on and on. its been sold out for years, but djs still play it in the clubs and it never lost its beat. now in 2012, almost 20 years later, the vinyl reissue being released, including the original cut and a remix by matthew styles & tobi neumann. it just goes on and on, enjoy!

bob dylans >love & theft< was a true return to form, his 30th studio album, with the unfortunate release date of september 11, 2001.
his voice is shot, but he sounds warmer, more relaxed, and old mr. grumpy is as good humoured as on >the basement tapes< (movlp 429). bob is in a wistful, elegiac, playful mood. he has recovered the humanity he lost on >time out of mind<, and is looking on life with loving eyes. he has thrown off the weight of life and is remembering a better self. and that makes this one of his more accessible albums, despite a lack of high-flying hit songs.
with beautiful printed inner sleeves and 180 grams audiophile vinyl, this is the first vinyl re-issue since 2001!

having hinted at upcoming collaborations on blkrtz over the last months in several interviews, deadbeat finally makes good on his promises offering an epic piece of heaviest dub business featuring the unmistakable vocoder stylings of canadian danuel tate of cobblestone jazz fame. title track lazy jane locks in a murderously tight 135 bpm steppers rhythm sure to appeal to fans of both the burial mix series and malas most head down exploits for dmz alike, with tates heaven streaking vocal elevating it to the realm of instant classic from the very first drop. the flipside s 909 dub meanwhile sends the originals synth and vocal lines deep into the echo chamber atop a reinforced version of the bass line and unrelenting 909 drum pattern to create the most classist, purified slice of big room dub techno you are likely to here all year.

where the river turns black, is the first international album by copenhagenresident and musician katrine ottosen aka call me kat. call me kat are adorably intense and mesmerizing songs, an enchanting melancholic, almost translucent drift into this sonic world best described as alternative pop, music that gives spoken word of the ever expanding danish music scene of now. songs that adapt a fine line between organic instrumentation and that very specific sound of her voice, which although completely its own tends to remind at times on other playful ladies in music like bjørk, feist oder lykke li.earlier works with reknown producers valgeir sigurdsson (bjørk, mum, sigur rós etc.) or joe magistro (prophet omega) on the current album have certainly had their share on this.

in over 10 years of experience in the hard electronic music scene, stormtrooper has scored releases on labels such as industrial strength, artillery, deathchant and several others, always bringing a different sound which has shocked the crowds of many countries. now, after his appearance on sana 10, the man strikes back on the 17th release of cerebral destruction with 4 intense, multifaceted tracks which contain the result of his latest sound research. nice and quiet sound e.p. is not just an alchemic mixture of hardcore and drum and bass, but blends also everything in between in a way only stormtrooper can. another dancefloor cleaner? no way! while having his sound fresh and experimental, peter kept the vibe which moves the crowd always avoiding the obvious combinations. the truth is that there are no words for this record the only way to fully understand is to listen for yourself the nice (and not so quiet) sound of stormtrooper!

like hardly any other ambassador of modern rhein main house music, christian burkhardt has experienced a true rocket-like takeoff in the last year. burkhardts cocoon debut ep stopover goa has, after one year, still a place of honour in many djs record cases. also his legendary live set in the pouring rain at last years green & blue may belong to the lasting memories of a life dedicated to electronic music. the heidelberg-born producer has already worked for la peña, raum…musik and oslo, and his collaborations with einzelkind and sascha dive became a talking point, too. with his second ep for cocoon, he again sets new standards. theres nobody around who is able to alienate vocals from the collective memory of afro-american culture into a hallucinogenic cocktail without harmful side effects in such a way than burkhardt is. nevertheless, and despite the massive, forward-pushing bass drum and hand claps, he never loses the focus of his soul. so - open your mind, we wish you lots of fun with heart and mind and the considerably acid-like waffles, while the tropical-hypnotic seagull atmosphere of twentysecondcenturydrama already whets the appetite for the upcoming club summer season of 2012.

something of a departure into uncharted territory for ostgut ton on the fiftieth single release of the label. following berghains hugely sucessful art exhibition alle which showcased the many visual artists among the members of staff at berghain/panorama bar, ostgut ton shows they cannot be pinned down easily to one genre by offering their anniversary release to two artists of the extended ostgut family who normally wouldnt be associated with what you might have come to expect from the label. shambhu the undisputed queen of the berghain bar ladies (she regulary holds court every saturday upstairs at her very own gitter bar) and rummelsnuff the germanic hulk of the berghain/laboratory bouncers come up with enchanting and surprising results. the release comes pressed as a 7 inch (a first for the label and limited to 500 hand-numered copies) and each side is given to one of the two artists.

on the a-side we have the cheeky >24 hour party sausage<, where garry takes us back to the sounds of the early 90s uk rave scene. its a peak time old school vocal affair with a raw, analog bassline, stuttered drums and chopped up stabbed vocals. stepping up for remix duty on this future classic is the mole who flips the original on its head and creates a dancefloor creeper for those darker club moments. winding the bassline and metallic beats between the rawness of the original groove and imparting his trademark spooky percussion, rhythms and eerie vocals. b-side >vacation in sunderland< is a love story with a firm salute to the classic down tempo us house of the 90s. its time to dust off those shell suits, high top sneakers and cazal shades and get ready for another slung back, funked out garry todd house jam with growling, rolling bass and seductive vocals and keys. on the remix front fellow illusion family members death on the balcony step up with a classic house masterstroke that compliments garrys slower and sleazier original. here dotb pick up the pace in a brilliantly original rework that accentuates the vocals and piano hook to create a summer house anthem - a stylish finish to another diverse installment from the illusion crew.
