zeitgeber is a german word that, loosely translated, means synchronizer. its also the new project of electric deluxe head speedy j and stroboscopic artefacts boss lucy. both artists make some of the most forward-thinking techno around, but zeitgeber sees them pushing together even further into uncharted territories.

emotional rescue certainly laid a claim for the most esoteric of reissue endeavours last year, and they are looking to maintain this approach in 2013. their first release sees the label dig further into the cassette archives of kevin harrison, focusing specifically on the neo project the coventry musician did in cahoots with fellow electronic explorer, peter every from neophyte records. as you can tell from the primitive drum heavy tone of the music, neo surfaced in 1985 with the 8 track cassette release global network. this twelve presents five of those tracks, all of which echo the pulsing electronic rhythms of the fly ep, emotional rescues previous harrison reissue, and will find as much favour with those who sleep on the left side of disco as fans of cold wave.

lokee musiks sophomore release features newcomer afriqua. a 21 year old from virginia, usa and currently based in berlin. this fledgling producer and student of the royal academy of music sparked interest with lokee when they met at one of their famous after hours in london. the title track here is melt & features broken groove with afriquas minimal perspective. electric pulse stabs are at the heart of this rhythm and drive it with a much appreciated space. vocals from sorcha richardson adds an eerie anthemic touch reminiscent of somewhere between the cocteau twins & fever ray

adam jay’s “mediastinum ep” is the product of a near death experience turned into an opportunity to create. after experiencing acute trauma to the left lung, the artist was diagnosed with pneumomediastinum, the sounds featured in the production of this record were recorded in the intensive care unit at community east hospital in indianapolis. “inward” is a raw, stripped down stomper filled with anxiety and a pace of purpose. the a2 track, “terrible precision” brings an atmosphere of tension and darkness that drives the ep forward. the synth groove of “chatter” sits atop the recordings of medical monitoring equipment intended to alarm the listener. the unsettling dischord created is contrasted by a powerful low end groove. “concert of the machines” comes with an addictive half time broken beat groove. the warm, effected electric piano work plays off more alert sounds from the hospital room creating a chilled out vibe that is ideal for closing a set. already support from justin berkovi, nigel richards, gayle san, tony rohr, andrei morant, and brian kage.

the first release on project squared in a year, *make your mess* is a three track ep by melbournes craig mcwhinney. craig has been making music for years and releasing since the late 2000s on melbourne labels such as pinksilver, melbourne deepcast and his own haul music, also on labels based further afield such as brendon moellers steadfast and speedy js electric deluxe. craigs music is techno, but it isnt preoccupied with the 4/4, employing broken, swung and rolling drum patterns. his tracks often include melodic and harmonic elements and effects reminiscent of dub techno but without conforming to the pastiche template of the sub-genre. the make your mess ep is composed of the core title track and two additional tracks that arose as interpretations and variations on the initial production: *provocation is an excuse* is more furious and loud, *disengage* is more restrained. all three are around 125 bpm and were produced in the space of a month between september and october 2012.

autumn days are coming quite near and with >jahreszwei< – an ambient tape by berlin based artist the marx trukker – we deliver the soundtrack for that more thoughtful time of the year. as the 4-track ep is put together chronological (starting with the track that was produced last), the a-side is more dark and dusty (roughly produced beginning of autumn with an electric bass, an old portastudio and loads of forbidden recording-techniques) while the b-side shines a bit brighter and lighter (produced digital end of summer, concentrating on the dave smith evolver synthesizer only). so take a walk through a forest next to you and enjoy the beautiful autumn-nature while having >jahreszwei< on your ears!

as christmas 1969 beckoned, jimi hendrix, bassist billy cox, and drummer buddy miles engaged in extensive rehearsals for their highly anticipated appearances at the fillmore east in new york. branded by hendrix as the band of gypsys, the trio worked feverishly rounding such exciting new original material as >izabella< and >machine gun< into form. keenly aware of the special significance his forthcoming concerts represented, jimi wanted to prepare something extraordinary for his audience. to mark the occasion in his own inimitable fashion, jimi readied this special medley of holiday favorites to celebrate both christmas and the dawning of a new decade. this recording was made at baggys studios, a manhattan rehearsal facility the group preferred. it by no means should be considered a polished studio recording made to hendrixs exacting specifications. it is, instead, perhaps even more revealing. this is a glimpse of jimi simply having fun in the company of close friends. the photograph of jimi posing as santa claus was originally organized on behalf of the uk music newspaper record mirror. to help publicize the december 1967 release of axis: bold as love, the groups second album, jimi agreed to pose as santa for the issues cover. an alternate photograph from that session, with jimi bearing gifts in the form of axis: bold as love, is featured here. as an added bonus, also included is jimis playful >three little bears<. this track was recorded with the experience at the record plant in may 1968 during sessions for electric ladyland. bypassed for that album, >three little bears< was originally issued as part of the 1972 posthumous compilation war heroes. it has been unavailable in the us for nearly twenty-five years.

ozs inkswel sends an irresistible four track package zig zagging across the globe to the door of fort unthank on the banks of loch firecracker, somewhere in the mists of scotland, via his very own powerful boogie powered super collider. opener do it is how its done, atomic funk which has been split, stretched and closely inspected, then reassembled to create a dancefloor chain reaction. the funk particles then pass through the americas and pick up the one and only chico mann. a man known for his like minded awareness of, and abilities with, the worldwide ways of the electric boogaloo, he adds his abstract afro cuban theories to tu machito. next, its a sharp turn eastwards to the old countries, whilst riding the waves of lfo bounce. uks funkineven, another kindred spirit in the search for man made machine soul, provides further refinement to the initial wave hypothesis, resulting in a glimpse of the elusive dark matter that is often talked about, but rarely seen or heard

das kalifornische balearic disco/westcoast-rock duo woolfy vs projections präsentiert den nachfolger seines 2008er-albums >the astral projections of starlight< als 12 inch lp, inklusive cd-version. >the return of love< wirkt wie ein stelldichein von bryan ferry, den wings und david crosby, vermischt mit dubbigen disco-sounds und einem entspannten vibe, der gleichermaßen auf ibiza wie an der amerikansichen westküste zuhause ist. aufgenommen wurde das album in den kalifornischen bergen. es ist musik, die wie eine zeitgenössiche form psychedelischen westcoast-rocks klingt. der song >nina< etwa, entstanden in zusammenarbeit mit dem hamburger disco- und house-produzenten tensnake, steht einen guten peyote-trip sicherlich in nichts nach.

the globetrotting album concept has returned as hed kandi world series takes on the usa, and after the recent success of world series miami vol 2, it only makes sense to continue this journey through americas evolving electronic music scene. electronic dance music has made it to the forefront of music across the globe, with it recently exploding in the united states. following the success of this yearÕs ultra music festival in miami and electric daisy carnival in las vegas, djÕs were booked to headline major festivals in america such as coachella, lollapalooza and swsx. with 3cds covering los angeles, las vegas and new york, it was difficult to whittle down the massive floor fillers we collected to only 45 tracks that represent the hedonism and glamour of dance music in the top 3 cities of the us.

first record for a label that is part of a long project, which began with the radio program the-zone. after numerous releases in the digital label, the project confirms the primary concept: the techno sound. an original version of the well known logotech (darknet, nachtstrom schallplatten, etc) with remixes signed by three major icons of techno: audio injection (truncate, electric deluxe, droid, etc), samuli kemppi (mote evolver, perc trax, m_rec ltd, etc) and the duo space djz (kombination research, soma, fine audio, etc)each word is useless, only techno!

the third ep on visky recordings is brought to you by a fresh and talented upcoming producer, dj and music lover hailing from grodno in belarus. schmoltz has had a long-term affair with music which got him to collecting records and fiddling with music making software and hardware. growing up as a metalhead kid, he came the disco route and later to be mesmerized by the soulful powerful funky and electric sounds of donna summer, gloria gaynor, stars on 45 and whatever else was to be found in the piles of soviet melodiya records. schmoltz delivered three great jazzy, deep & soulful tracks for his debut 12 inch on czech based visky recordings. on top of that the b side offers a remix from ferrispark label head scott ferguson. scott gave to raindrops a totally different feel and energy in a way of his own.

tony ollivierras issued a generous number of singles and eps under the ibex moniker on rushhour, planet e, yore, and his own ibex music, and now follows up his 2010 yore release, meltdown, with absolution, though this time under his birth name. no matter: ollivierras music sounds great, whether issued under his real name or an alias, and absolution is no exception. the infectious title cut gets things moving with a bass-powered blend of claps and funky rhythms before chunky house chords and silken synth figures add to the tracks multi-layered splendour. a jazzier dimension rises to the surface of quick release when the tunes churning hi-hats are joined by royally swinging electric piano playing and luscious synth pads.phase down opts for a purer deep house sound in its focus on kick drums, claps, and futuristic synths, though the track proves that ollivierras naturally funky side cant help but emerge, here as it does elsewhere.
