als gitarrenlegende michael rother bei einem konzert der secret machines unlängst plötzlich geisterhaft auf der bühne stand und mit den us-nachwuchskrauts sein deluxe rockte, knisterte der kleine hamburger club vor magie. das stück findet sich auf dem zweiten und letzten harmonia-album von 1975, welches nun zum zweiten remaster-schub historischer krautrock-alben gehört. -deluxe- ist ein repetitiv rockendes meisterwerk voll studiotechnisch veredelter saitenmalerien und wild pumpenden e-orgeln. dazu rufen rother, moebius und roedelius manchmal kraftwerk-hafte slogans, deren monotonie genauso hypnotisch wirkt wie die melodiemosaiken. hinreißend! parallel erscheinen in gleicher digipack-aufmachung klassiker von cluster (zuckerzeit, 1974) und os mundi (43 minuten, 1972) sowie titellose alben von electric sandwich (1972), novalis (1975) und kin ping meh (1975). zu den ersten käufern werden die secret machines gehören. garantiert.

an ep of golden bug on lddlm has been a long-time coming. paths crosses, encounters, similitudes. but it took all of us time to agree on how golden bug should fit into our mortal ethics of fragmentation: we don t want to sound like anybody else, each track on the ep should all sound different. the french but barcelona based producer played our game, anticipating his future and very diverse album with a spook yet catchy 12inch. wild boys was an instant ear-catcher, some proto funk with a very strong vocal by yan wagner that made it sound like duran duran on speedball. it was hard to take it to another level but lord tusk, one of our favourite producers of the emerging -no genre london scene beefs it up, kraftwerk way. its moody as we all are. ik voel je shows the more experimental spaced out side of golden bug, we d call it space rock if we had to. do not neglect l-horloge, it s slow, dark, menacing but it s a real time bomb if tuned correctly.

when i was 10 years old my father took me to a flea market in a very small city up north in sweden, pitea. there was a little bit of everything being sold there: ski equipment, comics, porcelain figurines and vinyl. it was there and then i came across autobahn by kraftwerk. the thing is, we didn t have a turntable at the house we stayed in, on those cold winter weeks so i had to wait until we came back home to give the record a proper spin. in my mind i played it several times and i thought it was amazing. i imagined it was music from the future. what i thought when i heard it for real? didn t like it at all. the very same feeling i imagined autobahn would sound like is the one i get after listening to ishi vu s debut on omena. these five tracks, you could call it an album if you like, are playful, quirky, dreamy and very addictive. like finding a new friend you know you want to keep for a very long time.

west side chicago hardware anthems. nick reads windbreaker project has been his refuge since the days of lazer crystal (thrill jockey). a chicago diy scene staple for over ten years, this is the first windbreaker full length. imagine kraftwerk being trapped in berghain and living off of floor scraps or christian hosoi pulling a christ air over the pyramids and you are somewhere close.

inspiriert vom new wave und punk der späten siebziger jahre gründen die aus toronto stammende, charismatische sängerin emily haines und der new yorker gitarrist jimmy shaw in brooklyn die band metric. die kombination aus punk, new wave, treibenden dancerhythmen, indiepop und einer spur electronic, verfehlt ihre wirkung nicht. in ihr neues album haben metric referenzen an musiker und acts gepackt, die sie inspiriert haben: depeche mode, new order, the cure, underworld oder kraftwerk. sängerin emily haines erklärt, dass es darum ging *die romantik einer anderen zeit zu finden, ohne in nostalgie zu verfallen*. dieses konzept findet sich auch auf dem albumcover wieder, auf dem das hotel chisca in memphis zu sehen ist (dort gab elvis presley sein erstes radio-interview). das neue album erscheint über das bandeigene label mmi via kobalt label services. doppel-vinyl im klappcover, downloadcode inklusive.

after putting out releases from the likes of uk rave legend warlock and baltimore rapper rye rye produced by bullion, dave maclean of django djangos kick + clap label announces tom furses run to me suite with because music, due out 9th october. on run to me furse has mapped out the ep as one opus divided into five cohesive parts. referencing early techno it has one foot in cologne and the other in detroit, with its tightly worked, precise machino-florescence, condensed and upfront, and free of the pomposity that abounds in the genre. a sound enamored with kraftwerk, juan atkins and yello, it underpins a latent narrative on themes of love, machines and obliteration.

giant records is the new label from grant dell, a man that has been at the forefront of the tech-house scene for over 15 years and has amassed a truly enviable back catalogue of releases. giant s first release is from mark allister, whose skill for crafting a proper old school tech-house groove on -not going back- is more than matched by his talent for laying down vocals. complementing this original, jay tripwire turns in a self-styled marimba machine redux, whilst label head grant dell chooses to focus on allister s vocal for a remix that possesses keys that wouldn t sound out of place on a kraftwerk track. supported by mr g, doc martin, eddie richards, john digweed, richie hawtin

for some it might be kraftwerk, but for me, my favourite electronic pioneers are probably australias severed heads. they were so far ahead of the game that they had to invent a lot of the technology they used. inspired, playful, never boring and always sonically brilliant they pushed at the frontiers of electronic music more than most. by the late 80s they were pursuing a slightly more polished course and made a series of records that had the potential to reach a much larger audience. possibly because of their name they never quite managed that, but they had several big club hits, the dub versions of which crossed over into the nascent house scene. i am honoured that i am able to make the dubs of those three 12 inches from 1988 - 1990 available again.

(ltd coloured vinyl in silk screen printed sleeve) go march is a new project born out of jam sessions that have resulted in their debut single rise, an electronic, germanic-infused, post-rock screamer that is a sort of mogwai meets kraftwerk.

electronic music approximately 35 years after bands like kraftwerk opened the magic box. a lot happened since then and it seems all is said, done and invented. however it is almost surprising that new things still pop up here and there when it comes to electronic music production.

compuphonic aka maxim firket is a multifaceted producer and dj from liege, belgium, who was raised on a well-balanced diet of classical music, early electronics and industrial variants from kraftwerk to front 242, and the revolutionary soundwave that swept over from detroit, michigan. hence, maxim did not only grow up to become a skillful violoncellist, but also a producer with a unique approach, blending his various sources of inspiration into one intelligent mix of old-school electro, house and minimal stylings.

when your debut set on pete tongs essential mix starts with masters at work remixing saint etienne and ends with kraftwerk, the tunes in the middle better hold their own. that was the challenge mobilee head anja schneider set for herself on her recent addition to the legendary bbc radio program, and she delivered with the help of a debut from maya jane coles, a classics from underground resistance, and an airing of her own latest, jimmy, which, with its propelling conga loop and haunting organ climax, made for one of the most memorable moments of the two hour session.

uwe schmidt is one of the most prolific contemporary electronic musicians of our era, with nearly 200 releases produced under a dizzying array of aliases. perhaps his most well known and celebrated project is señor coconut, of bossanova kraftwerk cover fame. we ve heard many dozens of uwes releases and consider more than a few of them to be bunker classics that are in constant rotation at both our house and on our dancefloor.

the legendary nico fidencos scor for black emanuelle is by turns sultry and serious, fun and funky. the sound is sophisticated, groovy and melodically memorable, mixin latin rhythms - in a continuous sexual tension with the exotic images of the beautiful laura gemser - and electronic textures that show the influence of early techno masters such as giorgio moroder and kraftwerk.

kraftwerk darf mittlerweile dem weltkulturkanon zugeschlagen werden aber darf die evolution auch zurückschlagen? mit respektvoller ironie? absoluter demut? eventuell sogar mit retrofuturistischem aberwitz? derlei ist hier versuchsweise dokumentiert.erstes wiener heimorgelorchester zollt bit für bit tribut und zerlegt die mythos-maschine in ihre einzelteile. es menschelt. es surrt, zischelt, kracht. es ist. von mathematischer schönheit. von kraftwerk.
limitierte auflage von 500 stück auf 180 gramm vinyl.

italian band n.o.i.a. was amongst the first electronic music groups to emerge in the late seventies and early eighties alongside peers like kraftwerk and depeche mode. nowadays they are re-releasing their back catalogue alongside a carefully curated selection of contemporary remixes and this latest package features rule to survive with a remix from prins thomas.

hier tueftelte kraftwerk im legendaeren klingklang-studio an klassikern wie >autobahn< oder >wir sind die roboter<, hier erlebten rheingold ihre dreiklangsdimensionen, und hier brachte daf den sequenzern das schwitzen bei. ohne den einfluss der düsseldorfer musik haette es gruppen wie omd, heaven 17 und depeche mode wohl nie gegeben. sie alle bezogen sich auf die pioniere der elektrischen stadt, bevor sie selbst botschafter der neuen musik wurden. von diesen pionieren handelt ruediger eschs buch >electri_city - elektronische musik aus duesseldorf< (suhrkamp), dem die hier vorliegende und gleichnamige compilation zur seite gestellt ist.

we dont really know if the young bryan kessler listened to kraftwerk, but then again we didnt ask - who cares, anyway? what’s certain, however, is that this punk renegade, songwriting wunderkind and all-around exceptional producer is a man of many faces, and all of them rock. discovered on stage while spouting anarchist pop slogans and showcasing an impressive underage mohawk haircut, he never was to be a bottled genius sticking to only one gun - and soon set out to become the lead singer and guitarist for neo punk nutters the pollywogs, while embarking on an equally public career as prolific dj and dance music producer

excellent four track ep with fantastic tracks from electro (kraftwerk / detroit style) to analog detroit techno !! killer

since richie hawtin played this track in his boiler room set on ibiza, many people have been asking about this joyce muniz collab. the track features fresh vocals by bam (formerly known as mc baby bam) from the legendary 90ies hip-hop group the jungle bothers (native tongues/zulu nation). the beat is based around a sample from kraftwerk s it s more fun to compute, and for this version we ve actually got full approval from kraftwerk (yes - guess what). so we re happy to release it now. hope you dig it too

cgi is proud to present the debut of 2 new duos who are experts at making their synths and sequencers sweat divine moisture. lyman-alpha forest is a new collaborative project between producers grey people (proper trax, finale sessions) and talk (deconstructure). as a duo they work to bring acid into new territories with their heavy, low-slung approach to producing melodic-and-spacious yet tight-and-focused slow-burning club-weapons. whether or not this is due to a stroke of compositional genius or if it is simply a side effect of the high levels of sizzurp found in the tap water in their hometown of nashville is irrelevant, but the effect is intoxicating all the same. travel 7 hours up i-65 and you will end up somewhere in chicago where afterburner spends long cold winter nights painting vivid synthesized tapestries as epic as the citys skyline. the duo of nicholas reed (windbreaker) and travis thatcher (voice of saturn) employ an aresnal of modular and analog gear to produce lushly cinematic tracks that chug along like classic moroder productions while simultaneously evoking the rich melodicism of kraftwerk. whether you listen to them at home in the headphones or on the dancefloor in the club, these tracks will take you on a wild ride.

heavily inspired by early rave and detroit electro, paul blackford’s first release on breakin’ records was described as a pioneering uk take on the detroit techno bass sound. since then, he’s released tracks on labels such as wide, deadlock records and twilight 76. in 2009 he set up militant science as an output for his own and other artists material, with support from djs such as dave clarke, dj stingray, dj godfather, edmx, keith tenniswood, and many more. blackfords latest release on cpu turns up the bass and tempo, think kraftwerk vs detroit in effect.

medical records presents its second contemporary artist release with roladex. imagine kraftwerk playing steven merritt songs. using an arsenal of analog instruments, roladex nostalgically borrows ideas from music of the past to carefully craft a unique brand of futuristic-mechanized pop, with an emphasis on songwriting and layered production. weaving sparse, sequenced arpeggios into fuzzy bass and bubbly melodies to create a bed of sound where they layout a somehow bright melancholia.

emotional especial is the new label from the emotional recordings stable. a sub label to emotional response, especial is though squarely aimed at the floor rather than the head. in a similar vain to the limited 4 eps-only label that was emotional relish, it will merge the sounds and styles that influence contemporary electronic producers, taking in new wave, new beat, ebm and proto-house to create something modern. jamie paton of cage & aviary helms the debut release with bizarre feeling. a youth soaking up punk, dub and new wave, the ep acts at times as a homage to the sounds of new order, the the, kraftwerk and the then other-wordly machine funk emanating out of mid-80s chicago. with both timothy j fairplay and scott fraser aiding and abetting down in the scrutton street bunker studio, with keys, guitar and a heavy dose of space echo, plus hypnotic fx laden vocals from jamie himself, all propel the ep beyond pastische and make the perfect start to especial.

with fans like amon tobin, skrillex and noisia (whove signed them to their division recordings label), youd expect neosignal to offer something different - and the german duo (aka drum & bass heroes phace & misanthrop) certainly dont disappoint. their debut album raum und zeit including the single planet online is out now! their influences range from can to kraftwerk and joy division to led zeppelin, and, while their music has elements of early krautrock, industrial and 80s ebm (electronic body music), its powered by 21st century, bass-driven production.

during the summer of 2012 before the rains came, the captain headed for the interior and in a lost valley far from the world of men he jammed with a tribe of initiates ... the valley people. the results were channelled via ether waves to ocean moon central aka the centre of sound where seahawks guided them to vinyl in their own sweet way. echoes of fern kinney on helium, nick nicely on mogadon, kraftwerk jamming in the jungle whilst aliens land their craft ready for a cosmic lounge party. listen out for ethereal soul sounds, island funk and dream wave ... ghost vibrations from beyond the reef where they dream of sliver rivers and sleep under the stars.

a legend of techno music on tigersushi. we are really proud!
an electro hacktivist since the 90s, french techno pionneer, inventor of what became electro clash with miss kittin, true italo disco lover, legitimate son of dopplereffekt and kraftwerk and godfather of the new french sensation gesaffelstein with whom he runs the label zone. when michel amato (his real name) contacted us with a few tracks we felt so honored. he really got back to his roots here with deep italo and electro, warm analog synths against cold robotic drum machines, great melodies. it would have been a hit on the now defunct cbs radio.
