the well-respected hydergine run ranges label adds a talented phenom to its roster. san francisco dub techno artist federsen, has been making waves in the scene for over a decade now. with releases on greyscale, silent season, zeecc, and even back on thinner in 2009 among others, federsen continues to find himself on labels that can properly advocate his sound. highly influenced by the dub style recording craftsmanship and in an ultra-competitive genre, we at ranges feel that this is one to be heard that evolves the genre even further.>magnetosphere< focuses are wide-ranging on this release. from traditional inspired rhythms like in >relic< and the dub chord roots of >anyplace<, to the spatialness of >euradyce< & >vco<. the seriousness picks up a notch for the techier heads in the wicked sounds of >siricco<. we feel one of the key appeals to federsens sound on this full length is the ability for sounds to evolve organically while others dip, swell and flourish giving the tracks a great live allure. the combination of those strategies make the experience come alive for listeners. the deepness is on full display in epic tracks like the immersive >magnetic< & >l infinito<. there is certainly enough for the deep house fans in this output as well. >forms< & >cerulean< give off house elements while still firmly places itself in the dub techno sphere. we are sure you will love this release and we are very proud to bring it to you! federsen is in top form here on this long player. check it out! written and produced by chris kelly mastering: subosc studio writeup: tim humphrey

greyscale unveils its latest long player masterpiece! mood series regular altone, has had four eps credited to himself on the label in the past year alone. >forest land< is his first full length and its a deep journey with ten tracks of some of the strongest and most high-quality dub techno in the business. >hunt< & >ethereal night< are not for the faint of heart. these are some of the headiest and immersive tracks we have heard yet at the label. then there is >oak< & >pinecone< which hone in on and harken to a lost age of traditional dub from the mother land. enjoy being transported with >flying leaves< & >downpour< as they give off impressions of scenic landscapes from distant memories. altone then adds a good dancefloor number for those house lovers in the addictive groove >cold ground<. >pebble< is reminiscent of some of the best of intrusion with its gentle waves of chords that surround you like a warm blanket on a cold winters night. lastly, >morning dew< is a standout crescendo bringing the album to a triumphant closing is pure class. >forest land< is guaranteed to have something for everyone and to also impress the most hardened dub techno critics as well. altone is proving he is a name to keep an eye on!

subset is the featured artist for the 17th greyscale full-length. named >this quiet earth<, this 9 track heavyweight of dubby goodness offers a consistent variety of spatialness while the atmosphere clearly surrounds you with its innate charm. heavy chords are consistent characteristic here while the beats are strong and favor more of a steady low tempo. tracks like >the rivers are dry< and >trippy specs< are soaked in reverb with an old skool dub sound while >the community of worlds< and >two halves< are another pair of deep-seated scenic heaters. the steady static over many tracks give off a language of communication to the listener that balances the organic elements extremely well. >lucys sky dreams< is not unlike a classic echospace track with tremendous depth that has you on the edge of your seat. a gentle album across the board that still has a reserved serious tone to it. another fine addition to the camp, subsets debut with us is a memorable one.

2021 repress ! the album itself features ten new tracks of pure legowelt music mainly recorded in de hague in the past year, but also on the road during tours of la, the californian desert, tokyo (which spawned crystal cult 2080) and tejada gran canaria (where the future of myself was written.) where his last album the paranormal soul was an organic trip into misty forests, this one seems more concerned with medieval spirits its deeper, darker and the whole thing is tied together by a more coherent sense of ancient alchemy

fluxions ripple effect is the film score for a non-existing motion picture. this 9-track album is the result of experimentation and the combination of the producers two most cherished art forms: electronic music and score music. ironically the two worlds rarely seem to meet, despite the fact that score music has adopted a looser form in order to better adapt to film accompaniment, bringing it closer to electronic music which attempts to contradict form or shed it altogether. fluxion felt the need to bring these two musical forms into dialogue with each other, lending structure to electronic and deconstructing score music to create a malleable and expressive hybrid. the albums production took two years from its original conception for the subliminal story to unfold into the completed product. fluxion wanted to say as much as possible through the music, leaving the visuals as a blank canvas for the listener to create their own story. in the end, the goal is to give each member of the audience a unique audiovisual experience based on their own perception and interpretation.

anders trentem¿llers career is a travel-heavy one, with his touring schedule taking him pretty much all over the world. but its his home port thats inspired his latest project, the sprawling, stunning compilation mix Ôharbour boat trips vol. 02: copenhagen. clocking in at just over an hour long, the compilation sees trentem¿ller curate and craft sixteen songs into a heavy, hazy mix that ranges from shoegaze to electronica, featuring both familiar and celebrated artists like a place to bury strangers (with a new trentem¿ller remix) and slowdive to more obscure finds, as well as trentem¿llers own tracks and remixes, most notably a brand new trentem¿ller cover of neil youngs classic Ôtransformer man. the mix sees him pick up a thread he left off earlier in his career. in 2009 he put together Ôharbour boat trips - 01: copenhagen, a compilation mix comprised of his favourite music, both danish and international, from across four decades, loosely inspired by the motion and movement of copenhagens busy harbour. closing in on a decade later, were getting the second edition, with Ôharbour boat trips - 02 arriving this november.

almost 2 years after the success of the album the tony allen experiments and a few months after the release of the 7inch amore, nu guinea return to the scene with a new lp published by their newborn label ng records. after touring the world looking for sounds suitable for their vibrations, nu guinea decided to go back to square one, napoli, where massimo di lena and lucio aquilina were born and raised. they watched their city from a distance reconstructing its energy from their studio in berlin, calibrating the synths on the meridian of vesuvius, the volcano that has always protected and threatened napoli. nuova napoli is the result of a long musical research that has become a historical investigation on the sound that shaped napoli during the 70s and 80s, starting from the contamination of genres (disco, jazz-funk, african rhythms) which ended up in nu guineas dna. in this album the synthesizers fill the spaces between the past and the future, tightening in a single body acoustic instruments, electronics and voices in neapolitan dialect

dear human survivors,Ê while the story of grounded in humanity is coming closer to its glorious end - there will be 3 more releases before the final showdown of humanity vs. human clones - the birth of our spin-off label human insurgents is taking shape. the first chapter, a 11-track album, is written and told by phat lord - who is also known as leader of the human resistance, trying to put an end to the brutal regency of the clones. phat lord is a true legend of the underground and his origin and location are totally unknown, even for the largest part of the resistance. some say he may even be a clone himselfÉ. the album is a sonic trip through various mental states and dystopic landscapes. it is a result of 8 years moving below the surface and often in the dark, to avoid discovery. he worked with simple, analog methods, focusing on the true essence of sound. we recommend a setting that allows for deep listening and proper bass support.Ê

infotext hamburg citys adana twins have made short work between their time joining the watergate camp to jumping into the spotlight helming the latest watergate mix compilation. the duo step up to deliver a thrilling and complex trek into the dramatic, emotionally-charged fields with their distinct brand of techno making it abundantly clear the two have a voice that needs to be heard. over the course of sixteen tracks adana twins weave a vivid musical tale having acquired an assortment of exclusive unreleased material from their crew of likeminded and extremely talented friends like acid pauli, sbth, upercent, lehar, daniel bortz & sascha sibler, aaaron, andrŽ hommen, and musumeci among others. besides their friends, adana twins contribute three originals to the mix including an absolute monster remix of patrice bŠumels decade old track Ôroar which has already received huge praise and tons of plays from heavyweights like tale of us and solomun receiving massive reactions every time its played. not only is the mix a stellar display of the duos mixing and storytelling prowess, but all tracks from the mix, minus adana twins Ôpavan which will see its release on their own imprint tau, are exclusive to watergate and will be released as separate eps following the mix release.

luke viberts technicolor-schwenk durch die welt des modernen funk. kerrier district nennt sich das funkige acid-dance-projekt des englischen elektronikkŸnstlers luke vibert. nach einem debŸtalbum - erschienen 2004 auf dem label rephlex und zwei maxis erscheint mit 4 erneut ein longplayer. die 14 tracks sind eine gro§artige collage aus samples und beats, old-school-drum-loops, sehr viel acid-funk und intensiver elektronik-disco. inspirieren lie§ sich vibert zum teil von der legendŠren ep -black devil disco club- von bernard fevre aus dem jahr 1978, die seitdem viele musiker beeinflusst hat. schaut man sich die trackliste mit titeln wie treacle tits und -discuntek an, erkennt man zwar eine portion kauzigen humors, doch sollte das nicht zur fehlannahme verleiten, vibert wŸrde seinen job nicht ernst nehmen. im gegenteil: 4, das auf cd und als trippel-lp erscheint, ist ein technicolor-schwenk durch die welt des modernen wohlfŸhl-funk, basierend auf einer unmenge an material, lustvoller programmierung und fetten bŠssen. der sommer kann kommen.

on limited edition compact disc. no. welcomes canadian france jobin to the label. the montreal based artist will release her 9th album on no.. with her release entitled Ôintrication, she grapples with some truly cosmic concepts involving quantum entanglement (go on, google it..) amongst other truly magical ideas which physics tend to invent these days. musically the release can be described as Ômicrosound ambient but we think its much larger than that. it is at once comprised of microscopic sonic particles yet combines that with the warmth we know and love from the Ôambient cosmos. whilst the sub atomic particles of noise bounce around your mind, the total work weaves a warm blanket of audio enjoyment on both the micro and macroscopic levels revealing a world at once both too tiny to comprehend and too large to grasp. presented here as no. 916 for your scientific scrutiny

ideas call for realisation, realisations turn into habits, habits then quickly turn into traditions, and traditions become an intrinsic part of culture. born at the turn of the new millennium as a symbol of a new era for electronic music, kompakt s longstanding total series returns with its 18th iteration, spreading over two cds the essential of the label s last few months of intense activity and extended breadth of resources, blowing out its 25th birthday candle with the breath of a young, throbbing heart.

nice price deal !!! after a bunch of succesful, module blasting releases by german-based label struktur, it is time for another physical one. for our first compact disc, we aim at giving you a fine selection of predominantly analogue techno in all its varieties by artists from all around the globe. for this special treat, called -black circle-, we compiled 12 tracks by exciting producers for you to discover. the sounds range from more industrial, spherical and hypnotic compositions, like taken out of one of william gibson s dystopian tales, to completely overcharged, circuit-melting monstrosities, that might just leave you speechless. if you are a connoisseur of analogue sounds and well structured pieces, this is for you!

after establishing himself with rough but emotive house as rimbaudian and jungle as birds of sweden, he unveiled his dj seinfeld alias to the world, first with underground hit single u, then with his time spent away from u album on lobster fury in november 2017. it was a post break-up love letter to the dance floor with heart-on-sleeve emotions colouring the dusty and analogue house grooves. acclaim came in from far and wide, with everyone from rolling stone to pitchfork fawning over its heart swelling nostalgia and melancholic immediacy. jakobsson approached his dj-kicks with the intention of representing all the things that made him fall in love with dance music more than a decade ago, as well as showing some of the progression that has occurred in that time and reflecting the simultaneous fear of leaving something safe behind as well as the excitement of venturing into unknown territories, musically and emotionally.

over the years, berlin has been cited as oliver koletzkis main point of reference and, more importantly, his endless source of inspiration. his albums gro§stadtmŠrchen and gro§stadtmŠrchen 2 are wholehearted tributes of the german capital, as its importance is continuously hinted and charted. friedrichshain, one of berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in olivers heart. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. kreuzbergs wall paintings adorn stil vor talents cover sleeves and host their headquarters. there are little to no corners in the city that havent brought a spark of inspiration into the mix. the schneeweiss compilation series, now at its eigth installment, is built as a form of tribute to all these particles, tied in together into a series of carefully curated tracks. each compilation stands at the intersection of the musical and cultural surroundings most prominent of their respective times
