there are times when the ocean is not the ocean - not blue, not even water, but some violent explosion of energy and danger: ferocity on a scale only gods can summon. it hurls itself at the island, sending spray right over the top of the lighthouse, biting pieces off the cliff. and the sound is a roaring of a beast whose anger knows no limits. those are the nights the light is needed most. - m.l. stedman

an ornate globe made with many layers of exotic woods spins on its axis. through the stained glass window diffuse light casts russet hews across the study. looking out over the walled garden to an orchard, great swollen purple and black fruits hang malevolently from mangled moss-covered trees. a gentle wind pushes the tangled branches and as they creak and moan the fruits thud lazily to the ground, gathering in mouldering clusters on the dewy grass.

brill disco action !

some believe music developed as a way to bring early humans together into a close-knit community, and this collection of songs is a perfect example of that theory at work. beautiful vocals from lindsey flowers, an oklahoman ospovat met tokyo. killer sax blown in portland, oregon by noah bernstein, an exceptionally talented friend of ospovat s brother. a driving remix by pablo bolivar in barcelona, without whose generous advice this project would still be a work in progress. a mesmerizing remix by canadian label partner, fellow deadhead, and sound manipulator extraordinaire craig oldring (c_olvrin). and the words of david moufang, who speaks with conviction in *movin to the d* – *…music has a lot to do with communication … working with other people is really essential.* we couldnt agree more.

for some grungy vocal house music with a touch of chicago percussion and a healthy splash of the indie-synth wave that came crashing over electronic music in the late 2000s, scissor & thread s black light smoke might be 2014 s answer to danton eeprom circa 2009. we say danton eeprom, as the voice on the b2, -screws in my head-, has a similar tone and enunciation of the frenchman, or are we getting mixed up with mathew dear? the title-track, -firefly-, brings back memories of azari & iii s debut ep only with druggy vocals coming from what could be the basement of a dfa rave in new york, while -morning comes- borrows some cowbells from the rapture and sultry french inspirations from jane birken. -black bricks- then provides some slo-mo, lo-fi phase filtered house - and one hell of a bassline. alternative electronics for the indie lover

each ep adopts the work of an artist translated to musical form.
when you dream where does the light come from? there is a light that has clarity as great or greater than the daylight vision, and a lucidity of color that s beyond how we see color now ... i m interested in the point where this meets the imaginative vision that comes from seeing what we want to think of physical reality as outside, because it has a lot to do all which how we create reality. - james turell
within the walls, lighting(s), james turrell built spaces of solid material. the aim is not to also penetrate the foundations, passing through space, leading us to consider the immaterial, the mind. divergent ways first four compositions much like the four first light compositions, have sought to externalise the imaginative vision making it apparent.

the first collaboration from seasoned chicago electronic artists k-rad (chris grabowski) and opcode66 (todd mariana), kno-001 is a deep and techy ride through space and sound. *from dark to light* offers a tasteful, musical journey geared toward experienced listeners and late night party people. reminiscent of watching the night sky transform into sunrise, *from dark to light* captures and explores this glorious experience. with simple, driving bass, an edgy monosynth riff and well-crafted sounds, strings help carry the piece through its musical transition as it builds and ends with great energy. *dream about* subtly addresses concepts of isolation and futility as realities. listeners may contemplate the relationship between reality and dreams (and the necessary functions of each) while immersed in slowly-evolving melodies. with many incidental sounds worked into the fabric of the piece, simple and satisfying percussion, and lush effects trails, *dream about* playfully and defiantly transfigures reality into something dream-like.

moderat sind apparat (sascha ring) und modeselektor (gernot bronsert und sebastian szary). hier der bedächtige klangtüftler und pop-poet, dort die beiden techno-b-boys. beide acts stehen für die berliner elektronikszene jenseits der geraden bassdrum. modeselektor sind die großmeister der unterirdischen bässe und elektrisierenden breakbeats, apparat ist der feingeist der elektronischen popmusik. die verweigerung, sich mit dem vorhandenen abzufinden, schweißt die drei in einer künstlerfreundschaft zusammen. auf dem ersten album definierten sie 2008 den moderat-sound. wobbelnde bässe und zuckende beats auf der einen seite, apparats filigrane stimme auf der anderen: gerade der extreme kontrast erschuf das einzigartige moderat-gefühl. in den nächsten jahren wurden beide acts zu international bekannten künstlern. sie definierten mit bahnbrechenden alben den elektronischen sound der zeit. heute ist das spektrum emotional und stilistisch größer geworden. es gibt keine grundstimmung mehr. in elf tracks erzählen moderat ein facettenreiches und doch kompaktes epos. sie sind verführer und hooligans, grübler und partysäue. in ihrer welt sind partytaumel und tiefsinn kein gegensatz. sie lassen kein kapitel ihres elektronischen und ihres analogen lebens aus. im clash zeigen diese großen musikerpersönlichkeiten neue charakterliche facetten. so ist in dieser wiederbegegnung eines der großen alben der elektronischen popmusik entstanden.

since their debut late last year, land of light has cemented their rightful place as the makers of dreams. although their first release undoubtedly set a new bar among those who understand relentless craft, their quest for enlightenment diligently continues. during this pre-sophomore-album sabbatical, a chosen few have stepped up to the challenge that is remixing land of light. peaking lights dubs us into ether, tiago slides us into salsa, and the backwoods hug us tightly as we shed uncontrollable tears of joy... sounds pretty good, yeah

emotional relish welcome in their second ep of 2013 with some solo work from scott fraser after a previous collaboration with headman and nitzer ebb vocalist douglas mccarthy. the light sleeper ep pairs two trademark fraser cuts with remixes from the aforementioned relish boss and fellow weatherall acolyte timothy j fairplay. a drab bassline wades *paraphase mine* into the murkier exclaves of synthy territory, allowing headman to lighten the mood by adding some tonal difference in his mix. fraser sets his arpeggios to flutter and bounce in *centreville lapse* with marching snares set to a severed heads styled reverb. fairplay does away with the tracks nosier components, demystifying frasers original for a warmer, eat petting remix.
