dj skelector returns from eternia with man hole 002

back down on my knees is a raw house cut combining a pounding bass drum and clever percussion reminiscent of a late 00 s new york sound with washed synths. i m amazed offers an ambient track lead by a simple piano interlaced with a field recording taken on a subway platform in new york. on the other side rubber jam is a tough hardware jam with a floaty arpeggiated synth line. here will be blood rounds the ep out relying on percussion to drive the track with breakbeat and a heavy bassline.

all of the tracks were created using a limited amount instruments, with a deliberate crossover of old synthesizers like a farsa organ or sequential circuits s pro-one and 90s technology like the roland jd-800. it is curious that lawrence says all his synths are half-broken, since the sounds he extracts from them are absolutely healing.

up next on 20/20 vision we welcome the ever-diverse and evolving nathan jonson. following a decade of producing and dj ing as hrdvsion, nathan has stepped out under his birth name to mark a new stage in his career. cross colours is a perfect representation of this new stage, a hybrid of all the styles he has become renowned for. when we heard cross colours we were all in agreement that luke vibert would be the perfect remixer. luckily luke agreed too and turned in a killer take on the original, flirting with early rave and hardcore whilst keeping the electro aesthetic. the b side is rounded off with a club focused version from ralph lawson & rui-z (which has already being championed by seth troxler on his most recent essential mix) and a dark techno rework from exciting new 20/20 signing dokta, who you can expect to hear a lot more from this year.

we live a life in between exorcism and consumption stirring up a piece of sh-which might be the forgotten, the unexpected, the unusual, the left behind. dust as a metaphor for our repetitive culture, can t be better chosen to head the redust ep on formresonance. grainy and with a sixth sense of its pulse, the tracks do emerge into a wide soundstream. dust hereby transports a piece of wisdom: the sound signature. knowledge which is inherent in class-a circuits, vinyl, or tape and which can be barely re-produced. georg stuby is already a dj on stage, like burning man, club der visionäre… he resident in the zürich party scene, teaches at the school of sound and drops out some nice tips on his own blog: www.georgstuby.com the redust ep is his debut release. jonas & christopher lawrenz provide their experience with georgs music, even longer.

seq9 oder sequence9, das ist anthony schoffmann aka dj gomor und marlène petijean aka dty. es ist aber auch diese sequenz, die nie richtig läuft auf anthony’s uraltem casio cz5000… die sequenz mit den ganz seltsamen klängen… das ist die mysteriöse seite der elektronik, die dunkle, seltsame seite. irgendwie ist es eine auflehnung gegen das system der elektronik selbst.

born in oakland, california, but raised in seattle, the dirty nomad emcee jvon, ventures off once more with minneapolis’ own, ackryte, for their third adventure.

jordan klassen trifft mit seinem folk-pop den ton der zeit, klingt dabei jedoch nicht wie ein jedermann. intim und eingängig dürfen wir den musiker auf seinem debütalbum „repentance“ kennen lernen. warme und detailverliebte songs sind sein metier, bei denen sich zu seiner stimme eine feine melodie und außergewöhnlicher rhythmus gesellt. die erste albumsingle „go to me“ ist ein paradebeispiel dafür, auch die bunte instrumentalisierung des albums klingt daraus hervor: glockenspiel, bläser, streicher und die ukulele sind nur einige davon.
