herrmutt lobby is back for more. their third release on eat concrete (one as bretzel zoo) reveals a more soulful and laidback sound then ever before. the new haters gonna hate ep reaches beyond their previous material but still comes with their own style of improvised beats, lowend bumpers and weird time signatures.

more than six years into his career after several eps and a full album, there isn’t much known about ben gibson, and he is clearly keeping it that way with intent. gibson first emerged on jeff mills’ experimental, influential 6277 sublabel but then again vanished into the ether, he only reappeared three years later on perc trax, even more surprisingly with a full-length. since then, he’s gone on to steadily more notice with perc’s imprint, sect records, and most recently m_rec ltd in spite of the continuing lack of information. exposure isn’t the most important thing for us at chronicle though, and after hearing these five tracks, we saw exactly what it is that drew mills to him from the beginning. it is a sound that we find a perfect fit for the techno futurism of our chronicle series, and here we offer a platform for gibsons more sci-fi, ethereal sounding material, exclusively on vinyl for the fifth edition of our sublabel.

atlanta-based helix expands on the techno/grime hybridity hinted at on his hit drum track 12 inch with the newest instalment of night slugs club constructions series. it is apt that some of the original material shortlisted for this release was lost to the digital tides, subsequently having to be restored or rebuilt in night slugs london studio during a visit by helix in late 2012.

superb new diagonal release! 1st edition on red vinyl also comes in a screen printed poly jacket.
john cage once stepped into an anechoic chamber expecting to hear silence. instead, he heard the low-end throb of his own blood pulsing through his body. this is the story that gave blood music, the first new act on diagonal, their name. it is an appropriate one too: simon pomery, the creative lead and only ever-present member of the band, strikes his guitar with screwdrivers, mallets and his own bare fists, frequently putting real blood into the blood music that spits violently from the band.

wild oats is proud to present the kmfh debut album the boat party. after a year of collaborative releases, kyle hall, under the alias kmfh, has produced a debut album, a fusion of original work, sample tracks, and raw edits. the boat party album artwork pokes fun at european summer boat parties and juxtaposes the destitute state of detroit and its recent proneness to discarded luxury in financial crises. mainly, the inability to leave and the sometimes pleasant isolation of a boat party is what the album exudes. the listener has a certain commitment to the material which definitely has its place on the dance floor. you can find tracks that have soulful, funky, and organic feels, while others have a more abstract, mechanical, and robotic sentiments. the boat party was carefully constructed which makes the album a cohesive mix of soulful etherealness and roughly raw sounds, kmfhs cueing into the true aspects of detroit.

after emerging from years of seclusion below the chicago underground last year, marquis cooper aka svengalisghost, returns with all new material recorded this winter somewhere between the woods of north carolina and the streets of nyc. an advocate in creating what he calls the anti-beat, cooper takes what he s learned from the traditional machine experimentation of the early pioneers, reconstructs and retransmits the sounds which lie somewhere in the realm of unhinged synth punk or industrial forward-thinking beat electronics. these tracks are truly the essence of house, and a vicious circle it is.

bunker i-iii is an artefactual statement. the band tap909 deals with this fact and creates some striking material in their live shows. the songs from this ep are taken from one of these indecent moments, which are radical, noisy and unscripted – searching for an answer between all these analogue machine sounds. an answer made out of technology which technology cannot give. against the society of selfish dreamers and spine- less fools.

since its inception in 2001, each entry in the pop ambient series has included its year of conception in its title, an irony in the fact that many consider the music being timeless in more than one way: a feel-good classic to some, a rigorous experiment to others, pop ambient always has located itself between the poles of habitual listening and sonic curiosity, with the space in-between beats being a way more interesting material than the beat itself. as in the years before, pop ambient 2013 collects an illustrious cast of producers uniting genre pioneers alongside old friends and some surprising new arrivals.
the 12 inch vinyl comes with a cd-copy of the full album.

preceding the release of bad cop bad cops debut album >wings of techno<, 4 tracks of the long player get the remix treatment by a unique quartet of techno artists: tobias, group niob, brendon moeller and pomelos upcoming star kemetrix. >wings of techno< is a psychedelic tour-de force through various styles of electronic sounds. deep and unique, jacking at times while laid back and cosmic at others. all four remixers on duty here manage to keep the psychedelic and surreal feel of the originals intact while adding a great dose of dancefloor friendliness to the tracks. ostguts tobias. reworks hilton hihat into a deep and dreamy acid techno tune. he is followed by motor city talent kemetrix, who steps up the pace and edginess with a twisted, stomping electro-techno hybrid remake of beauty. group niob, the viennese duo formed by cheap records legend gerhard potuznik and martin dibek, contrast the goth-pop vocals of the original bodyless material with deep dubbed- out techno beats. and lastly, the unmistakeable brendon moeller turns cheeky into an undulating, deep bass driven dub techno stomper

taiki and nulight or to their friends rowan harrington and erka chinbayer have both been djing/producing for many years both in very different circles. taikis career started back in 2008 under his old alias name site 1 who was a house/electro producer. they joined forces and started working together in 2011 which now seems like a lifetime ago considering on what they have achieved in such a short time. when they first started out working together they were making a lot of dubstep, house and electro influenced bass music as we call it now. being heavily into garage, house and electronic dance music there sound heavily progressed across the spectrum of dance music. taiki and nulight released their first ep in february 2012 on subway recordings which gained a lot of support from the likes of mistajam, crookers, herve zinc, redlight, foamo, roska, benga, skream, adam f, hatcha, n type and more. gaining them a lot of frequent airtime on bbc radio 1, 1xtra, kiss 100 and rinse fm. now nearly a year and a half since they have joined forces, they have received massive support from some of the most respected djs out there not to mention air time nearly every week on radio 1 and kiss 100. with their next release on the horizon and due to drop december time 2012 on bengas very well respected label benga beats there is so much more that you will see from these boys and so much new material to hear.

the third and final part of prime numbers trusme remix series. once again berlin is in the house with berghain master ben klock taking the trusme classic >w.a.r dub< into deep & dark dancefloor territory. in his inimitable style all is condensed into a tightly worked & clinical production. the groove is meticulously worked into making for some hypnotic techno. klocks compadre & panorama bar resident ryan elliot takes on >nards<, stripping back its parts to an insistent & organic piece that that builds to the end. vakula completes the set with a tough reworking of >need a job<. unremitting acid moves bend around a heavyweight break with increasing intensity. serious dancefloor material.

boris bunnik goes under many aliases. numerous smaller projects, some huge faceless projects but mostly known and well respected for his conforce project. as versalife he found his way to the clone familia for his night time activities project, and around this same period we just managed to pull out the best suitable tracks for frustrated funk. versalife is electro-techno in its purest form. deep and intense analog rhythms with crisp percussion patterns slightly touching the more experimental side of things. this ep is a nice balanced mixture of industrial drone material to more classic sounding electro with versalifes own signature strength. highly recommended as always!
