ian blevins has been busy making a name for himself on esp institute and futureboogie, but now he comes to not an animal with a slightly different approach that still speaks to the skills the upstart producer has in his sonic arsenal. -the birds- is a focused, steady-tracking cut for the deeper end of the night, but there s some serious weight in those drums and the heavily processed vocal snippets pack plenty of malaise. man power then step up with a -tropical bastard- remix of the original, cracking the curtains to allow a little light into the mix but stopping short of over-cooking the mood. -locate yourself- on the flip finds blevins in tracky techno mode, and it turns out it s a style he can nail just as easily as the more organic tones he s known for.

weiss, limitiert und nummeriert! knapp drei jahre nach dem bis dato erfolgreichsten montreal album sonic ballroom legt das nordische trio um flutlichtgestalt max power endlich nach und wie gewohnt noch eine spatelspitze drauf. die 12 lieder auf schackilacki kommen in sachen sound, melodie und textlicher finesse derart direkt und unn¸tig aufgeblasen daher, dass nach 31.15 minuten schlicht keine fragen mehr offen sind. bleibt das fragezeichen, das der albumtitel erstmal in den gesichtern mancher zeitgenossen hinterl§sst... aber da winkt max power z§rtlich ab: wer auf anhieb nicht ahnt, was schackilacki ist, der wird es auch nach noch so motivierten erkl§rungsversuchen nicht verstehen

tangerine dream hatten seit ihrer gründung ende der 1960er in westberlin einen massgeblichen einfluss auf die entwicklung der elektronischen musik und galten als einer der führenden vertreter des krautrock. in den 1980ern lieferten sie beachtliche soundtracks zu filmen wie “firestarter”, “risky business”, “near dark”, “thief” und “sorcerer” ab, ihr musikalischer einfluss auf den soundtrack der netflix-kultserie “stranger things” ist enorm. ihr neues doppelalbum “particles” ist eine mischung aus brandneuem material und reinterpretationen, darunter des titelstücks ihres albumklassikers “rubycon” (1975), liveaufnahmen u.a. des titeltracks des “white eagle” albums (1982), sowie eine eigene coverversion des “stranger things” theme.

suction records is excited to unleash the 3rd vinyl ep in our series of archival releases by a rx-101 aka dutch producer erik jong, who recorded hundreds of afx / rephlex-inspired tracks from 1997 to 1999, which remained unreleased until now. continuing with our roland sh-101 themed artwork, rx-101 s -ep3- pairs the 101 with it s acidic little brother, the infamous tb-303. there s been a lot of renewed interest and hype surrounding the revival of acid techno in recent years, but rx-101 s acid offerings are not the slow n slinky variety favoured by most of today s acid revivalists. instead, ep 3 contains 6 tracks of crunchy, blown out, high-octane rave acid. long-time afx/rephlex fans will recognize the sound immediately - the 6 tracks found on ep 3 are eerily reminiscent of those sought-after rephlex classics, the universal indicator series of 12inches - released anonymously by aphex twin and his kosmic kommando on rephlex from 1992-1995..

it’s no exaggeration to say that geraldo pino and his band the heartbeats kickstarted the whole soul/funk/afrobeat scene in west africa. mixing highlife, funk and jazz, and using the latest equipment, they laid waste to all before them. in 1966 fela kuti was a jobbing musician, eeking out a living with highlife bands. when gerlado pino came to town, it changed his life.

we’re glad to welcome back aun to cyclic law for their latest opus! aun’s music as always suggested forays into other dimensions, be it to imaginary worlds, industrial wastelands, through space and time, or via mind altered states. from the ominous dystopian artwork, of a city being drained of its energy by some mysterious black hole, to the first notes of the title track “fiat lux” we are once again transported on aun’s otherworldly travelling path. ever since the space industrial and power electronics of aun’s previous cyclic law cult release “black pyramid”, the world has become even more sinister, but in contrast, “fiat lux” exudes even more of aun’s melancholic hopefulness. the disintegrating chords and densely textured waves, anchored by a left field industrial pulse, invoke occult drug enhanced, future psychedelia. created in part in their montreal studio, these tracks were extensively performed live, prior to recording, and refined while on tour breaks in montpellier, barcelona and tokyo. the energy of these cities is definitely at work in these recordings, which also features a french connection of experimental heavy hitters: witxes, frédéric d. oberland and philippe petit have helped round out dumais and leblanc’ arsenal. fiat lux: let there be light, from light will come darkness.

next up on aus music is the welcome return of a good friend and label regular - the ever ascendant marquis hawkes. having released 4 eps on aus thus far, he makes his return in the form of a blazing, floor-focused 2 track ep which sits neatly with previous outings on the label. ‘the basement is burning’ takes it’s name from a near-fateful experience stemming from an electrical fire in hawkes’ home which culminated in him and his family being evacuated from a 5th floor balcony. having ensured the safety of his family, he made a dash across berlin to make a 10am live show, a few days later with the power back on ‘the basement is burning’ was born. the title track kicks off with splashy, live drum samples that are armoured with electronic layers before a feel-good piano lick glides into the mix. bursting synths are introduced before ducking strings chords bring the track to an ecstatic conclusion. ‘tower block boogie’ then tumbles short funk samples through bold drums as a fervid sense of tension burns throughout.

born as the daughter of two opera singers josin grows up constantly surrounded by music. for herself josin draws a lot of her inspiration of the northern world, which is as rich in contrasts as her music. it is rough and cold but full of nutrients and life. and if you wish you can exist in it and slowly but certainly and then forever recognise its beauty. currently the musician is working on her first album and new songs. although josin likes to choose a way between elegance and minimalism, the first tracks of the new recordings present themselves with a power that presses forward more determinedly. her producing also appears more open and experimental with electronical and classical elements. yet she maintains her natural otherness and intensity in a timeless way.
