latest iib release features the north easts version of csn last waltz. a double header, the first track just hold on is a collaboration between last waltz & smoove. heartfelt vocals over a pastoral rolling chugger, deep bassline folky guitar strumming making this a favourite at iib hq. on the remix ess o ess raise the tempo a little bring out the electric guitars and increasing the chug to almost krautrock levels. on the flip side last waltz give us tribute. a deep atmospheric acid affair. mellow electric keys and percussion lull you into a false sense of security before the heavy kick and acid bassline drop with dark cello notes. machete savane take on the remix. replacing acid for guitar and adding some machine groove this slowly builds and builds into a top bubbler.

the goal with supernova was to look back to the disco era but with a synth heavy and altogether more cosmic twist. alex is a big fun of modern russian classical music composing style. also he was inspired by early english progressive scene (yes, elo etc). this is why u-kas melodic lines are long and not so straight sometimes. and oleg is musically far from academic school and prefers zappa, early german electronic and psychedelic krautrock etc.

commodity place project is back with two masterful compositions wrapped in a special colorful ep. the duo composed by roman musicians massimiliano loretucci (computer and synths) and riccardo frosoni (guitar and percussions) has set two amazing tracks letting the mind and body to travel far away till the most unreachable and undefined horizons of psychedelic music. on side a, >multifrequency behaviour of high energy cosmic sources< develops an intense journey into a nebulous space dimension where a wide range of fluffy cosmic echoes are stratified and stretched to the infinity, while human perception is totally kidnapped by ancestral voice effects. straight to the unknown ambient paradise. the endless 12 minutes of >ahura mazda< fill entirely the b side. a melodic start up loop on a mild 4/4 downtempo pace prepares the well coming of an outstanding solo guitar excursion with some psy-synths on background for a piece of music that we can literally define as an extraordinary psychedelic / krautrock symphony. so, now you are in. but remember: over the mystic mountains another earth could be found.

antoni maiovvis career began with a quite frankly amazing lie. in reality maiovvi is not an original italo producer from the 1980s come back to reclaim his crown, but a project started at the end of 2006 by composer anton maiof to explore a world made of synth pop, hi-nrg and horror soundtracks. the cry of >lets dance! lets kill!< somehow struck a chord among the followers of the new cosmic disco movement and has lead to a prolific discography. he is producer, dj, film composer and co-owner of giallo disco records. musically, maiovvi takes as many cues from john carpenter and goblin as he does from italian electro and san francisco hi-nrg right through experimental electronics and krautrock. in short antoni maiovvi makes epic horror disco. he follows his releases on deathwaltz, jam traxx and his own co-run giallo disco records with a journey into the furthest reaches of deep space with >monoceroticism< on flight recorder. four tracks inflected with slowmo detroit jams, new beat trash, spooktactual ebm and hyperborean prog

studio bruno is the joint project of johannes beck as well as his friend musicians and producers. the concept of studio bruno is based on a one week stay at studio bruno in an old farmhouse in steigerwald, franconia, a lovely nature park in north bavaria, where each musician invited brings a machine or an instrument of his choice. the focus of that week is the common producing and live improvising.for the first record steffen bennemann (nachtdigital) and sevensol (kann) were invited. sevensol brought his tr-707, his monotron delay and steffen bennemann came with his field recorder. the result of this one-week session is a deep house track with a distorted synth line and a krautrock-slash-funky jazz track!

darkside is the collaborative duo of guitarist/composer dave harrington and electronic producer nicolas jaar. darkside summon a hybrid of electronic music, psychedelic rock, and dancefloor techno with the sort of artistic depth and breadth for which the term progressive was coined. darksides first fulllength album-released on nicos own other people label in conjunction with matador records-is called psychic. darksides psychic is a watershed moment for the duo, a quantum leap forward from their 3-song debut, 2011s darkside ep. at any given moment, psychic encompasses the ritualistic structures and methodologies of krautrock, the cosmic exploration of classic space-rock, and the immersive, body-moving transcendence of 21st century house and techno-but, working with the finishingeach- others’-sentences fluidity of kindred spirits, dave and nico synthesize it all into a living, breathing whole.

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.

in their own words, like a radio-controlled mechanical, electro-mechanical and multifunctional musical instrument, berliner ring build up relentless and relentlessly different grooves in a characteristically non-direct way. as if playing around without focus they layer their tracks and slowly position them into form. the tracks featured here were originally released on cd on the art yard label. melodies are fragmented, often even sparse, the groove never stops, but does so with intervals and while changing focus. berliner ring references similar bands in the krautrock and post-rock genre, but it s subtlety, the originality of their self-built instruments and their songs that shift from downright groovy to more atmospheric explorations of ambience and texture guarantee them a unique voice and perspective. essential stuff.

the torino scale ... is a way of gauging the potential damage that may occur in the event of an impact from asteroids or other objects from space. as the richter scale measures the strength and potential damage from earthquakes, the torino scale is used to measure the potential for damage from objects striking earth. it is all about impact... but it is also about beginnings, as scientists discovered that primal dna might have been carried to the earth by an asteroids collision with earth. the torino scale is the debut solo album from berlin based producer and supersoul recordings head xaver von treyer, aka xaver naudascher. the result is astral pop music that swirls around the idea of beginnings, ends and aggregate states, whilst staying true to the known supersoul sound - strong connections to dance music (krautrock, italo, chicago and detroit) without being nostalgic or exclusive to one style.

die musik ist eindeutig an den heavy-jam krautrock der fruehen 70er angelehnt, ueberwiegend episch, spielfreudig und angeheizt von treibenden vintage-fuzz/wahwah-gitarrenriffs und einer massiv marschierenden rhythmussektion. ihre psychedelischen improvisationen von teils weit über zehn minuten lassen auf geschmackvolle art ebenso platz für experimentelle passagen in denen sphaerische orgel / sax / gitarren soundeffekte dominieren, um intensive, originelle und facettenreiche klangbilder zu erzeugen. hier erscheint nun erstmalig das komplette neu zusammengestellte material von spaceship landing inklusive drei bonus tracks mit einer laufzeit von 79.5 min, welches auf authentische art, rein analog produziert und re-mastered wurde.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

forma (mark dwinell, sophie lam, & george bennett) emerged on the nyc minimal synth scene in 2010 with a singular vision of cosmic krautrock for a new age. on their eponymous debut lp, the brooklyn-based electronics trio merges the melodic flow and primitive rhythms of their motorik predecessors with the hypnotic drones of minimalism, creating an intricate work both addicting and rewarding with repeat listens. like many of the lp s eleven tracks, the churning and relentless forma237b draws its energy from a precarious equilibrium between structural rigidity and free improvisation, a dynamic at the heart of forma’s universe. with lush, distant soundscapes as interludes between these peaks, forma’s inaugural full-length is a harmonious and expansive expression of the enduring power of kosmische musik.

milan based heels of love is made up of luca saponaro (from krautrock-disco hybrids the love supreme) and michele tessadri (aka fratelli riviera). the pair of them create incredible 80s-tinged, earthy, synthesized music with healthy dose of real instruments. after some nifty releases on mad on the moon and under the shade labels we are pleased to welcome them to the nang family. with an lp poised to drop later in the year, the welcome first dose is the train >chain gang<.
the track features the dulcet (and ever growing in confidence) vocals of tokyo based max essa. the original is a pacey combination of maxs devoesque song, driving drums and the wide-as analog bass synth from the italian duo. are we men? we certainly are.

in 2009 the internationally acclaimed german director tom tykwer (perfume, run lola run, the international) supervised a film project in kenyas largest township kibera together with his wife marie steinmann. they put together a team of international film pros that each mentored one film student and helped them put together the movie soul boy. a story about a boy who has to go on a journey to rescue his fathers soul from a mysterious voodoo women.
the result of xavers score is a percussive journey reminiscent of minimal music from the 60s paired with african vibes but completely void of world music cliches. its closer to krautrock and steve reich than to the commonly shallow perception of indigenous music by first world movie directors. full of odd sounding kalimbas and plucky guitars, backed by heavy orchestral drumming and floating e-bows.

what a journey! well, these guys have been around for a while- they have gone through: rave, jazz, krautrock, garage, detroit, house, hip-hop, disco, folk, dubstep, electronica, funk, punk, wave, chicago house, handmade music and soul. all those nights at clubs, the records, the shelves, the dirt in the second-hand record shops, the stacked audio- and studio magazines in their toilets or elsewhere in the house, the hours spent making their own radio-shows, hundreds of hotels checked in and out of, dozens of sound-checks done. last but not least, the revivals, the subgenres, the fusion - well these peeps have given real influential input into some of these (sub)genres in the past. >lovin< is the second single release of the upcoming >alex and the grizzly< album which is due out in april 2011. alex barck is on the vocals together with lois longerling, who is known for her work with dollkraut. andre lodemann delivers a smart remix giving the tune his trade-mark sound and putting onto the house-dancefloors. prommer and barck are on tour with their own live show.

the recent time and space machine album released on tirk caused quite a stir. received by fans, press and pundits with a bright glowing prodigiousness, we just had to have one final foray into the 12 inch single department. the albums title track set >phazer to stun< was always a favourite with pulsating krautrock influences, nicely melded with some dirt cheap farfisa organ, freakbeat drumming and (of course) plenty of phazer.
