einer der sich letztes jahr ins bewusstsein gerückt, hat präsentiert sein erstes album. sehr fein

wagon repair welcome a new artist to their ranks in the form of italian minimal master luca bacchetti. after a host of releases on italian label tenax, spawned from the cult club of the same name, this is a heavy dose of entrancing minimal - equally suited for the dancefloor or the late train ride home. a side >rolling brooklyn< pushes the envelope a bit further, a busy and investigatory track driven by sniffing snare sounds, moist synth balloons and screeching metallic accents. ascending from chaos to minimal bliss. distinctly urban, b side >what ever< progresses defiantly amidst reverb laden howls and sirens, throbbing to climax with stabbed bass and rolling percussion in an inpenetrable surge to the senses. final cut >flat mates< keeps up the pace. led by a dizzy synth haze and fueled by a tight house rhythm, luca adds acoustic metal drum sounds into the mix to broaden the tone.

remix-package to one of the biggest wir hits. newcoming talent kab shows some severe skills with a tight remix that keeps minilogues hooklines in shape but introduces them to its unique world of magical flow while pulling off the impossible, he creates a masterbuilder being tense and tender at the same time. jichael mackson on the other hand constructs a relaxed groove rich in texture, pushing the sounds further and further until the final climax while tracing the original material rather emotionally then rationally. minilogue themselves round off the package with a beautifully dashed ambient version

a stunning 3 track ep. >enter the night< provides a very funky vibe. with minimal feel, typified in cuts (yeah, shake a leg!), this records kicks off with a house rhythm before a bristling bass really starts driving the piece along. a smoke filled voice soon comes in, throwing the listener off talking about nights and exits or no exits while the track >no exits< on b2 is a fine and dark mixture of crisp beats and glitchy percussion to create a forceful groove as spluttery synth stabs keep up the incessant pressure. cuts of mazi s vocal twist things just that bit more evil as the house edged mood continues its push further into new depths of mayhem. the driving melody in >sarabbath< on b1 is quite a head-turner and should create a stir in the clubs, using the more minimal and melody side of this great 12inch

the third enliven music release is based on minimal techno and contains propelling sequences and nicely rolling basslines. the raum and opossum artist >sweetn.candy< added a remix and round down this debut of >phony pinch<. there is a further youngster of elm doing a remix of operator, called >peedge<, the studio and live partner of phony pinch

>sag zum abschied leise servus!< die letzte & finale ausgabe der sound_variation reihe liegt nun vor und beinhalted mixe von oliver hacke, jeff milligan, james din a 4 & further details. stimmungsvoller abgang

three tracks on this single there is the slope remix of daniel maggs o bah, which with its delay loops offers something for the deeper moments on the dancefloor. apart from that theres two remixes of tracks taken from the last slope album komputa groove. while house grooves ruled on the first 12 to be taken from the slope is dope compilation, this new single is more about broken beats. charles websters remix of nothing like this feeling embeds ovasoul 7s vocals in a playfully distorted, grainy synthesizer arrangement which is driven on by a nervous snare. the want choo longa edit by bugz in the attic members daz i kue and afronaught goes even further beats with an afro touch and a typical bugz bassline makes for an absolutely compelling recipe

tom pooks is no newcomer in the techno music world, having released tracks on ovum, intec, serial or kompakt to name but a few, he really knows how to push a crowd to the limit. this time he just pushed the boundaries even further with the spacey track >moon h<. the package comes complete with mixes by jun-x (vitalics artist on citizen records), londons best house producer of next year tommy four seven and an instrumental tool even more scarrying by david duriez

the country of the rising sun brings us four pressure - loaded tracks from the artist keisuke kondo and the axis tokyo - berlin goes into a further phase. 2 sides 2 views. the first two tracks are the berlin side of keisuke. pkg und eboy are massive tunes with reduced basslines and shorted spooled sounds which moves into the depth of consciousness. eboy builds it self verse whistling with the certain humor up in order to induce one to the internal. with digdag we are movin to tokyo a tool for every ekg which breathes with the pushing pulling sounds and however with the certainty lofi presenting the living digital time. downtown tokyo becomes conscious with the track zoomin – the tarmac_the_humans_the jungle. driving whipping with the trigger like spoiled pitch which pushes one through the masses. bleeps and freaks simple technoid minimal reduced

with his second 12 on trapez following his brilliant debut ep >nine hours< released august 2006, the top polish producer slg aka lukasz seliga takes it one step further proving his skil of producing finest post detroit techno music that can rock the clubs worldwide. both tracks are hypnotic techno groovers with a soulful and depp energy. they move very gently and every step is chosen thoughtfully

after the massive success with abyss14, this one pushing that vibe even one step further. cristian fischer, with releases and remixes on labels such as sway, patterns, ignition, yin yang, sketch and many more is really doing the electronic tech vs minimal in the best possible way..

a three track ep, showcasing samim s range of different flavors. on a1, samim hits you with >paspd< feat. big bully, guest vocalist on previous release like samim s >house nation< (tuningspork) and fuckpony s >ride the pony< (getphysical). the tracks funky, bleepy, hypnotic flow is bound to open up your eyes and get you bouncing. a2 features >masua<. a dry, hard hitting, percussion driven track, accented with bleep textures and breakdowns from outer space. a bumber. on b1, >hardma (unfinished sympathy mix)< takes you further to the light. this special cut was recorded live, raw and direct at the mimas hq. the right choice for rush hour, intense as hell! finally on b2 >do you see the light?< rounds up the ep. the special interlude features a special performance by >preaching ark of light<

anders trentemøller, the shooting star of 2005, needs no further introduction. he has been stringing together hit after hit, most recently the -nam nam ep- on poker flat which offered an initial insight into his upcoming album -the last resort-. now the new 12- brings the first full-blown single outtake. the featured album track is -always something better – a vocal version featuring richard davis - and has a calmer, almost dreamy mood compared to the club tracks he s released. an easy-going groove, some wonderful celesta chords (hand-played by anders) and the typical trentemøller sound melt with the outstanding vocals by richard davis, who already graced swayzak s -speak easy- on k7. furthermore, davis is known for his longplayers on punkt musik and kitty-yo as well as an array of singles and remixes.a brilliant track with a beautiful atmosphere.of course the a1 slot is reserved for the -trentemøller remix-, a true dancefloor anthem. a kicking bass drum, quirky sounds and the -trentemøller twist- make this a real summer hit. while the a1 mix is a reduced vocal version, you ll find the -dub mix- on b1. to top things off, the one and only matthew herbert contributes his very own interpretation on the -bubble mix-. he disrupts and rearranges the original sounds and song structures to create a new unsettled, but fascinating soundscape

the vinyl format with the new exclusive tracks from first audiomatique mix cd splits over two separate 12inches. am10 is the second volume 1.2 including 3 exclusive tracks by newcomer cdjjj and 2 well known producers. cdjjj is giancarlo giusti, a newcomer from barcelona. playmate is a deep, dark & heavy techno-piece with a punching kick and eerie acid synths. alexi delano, known also for his a.d.n.y. or adjd rec., needs no further introduction. here he teams up with fernando gullon of the sindicato crew. when it rains in madrid is a highly seductive fleetfooted track with great sounds. huggotron aka john dahlbäck contributes a dark acid piece with broken vocals

domino is true dirt crew style û dirty afterhours housemusic for the head, toes and itchy fingers. echoing bassline going thru the dirt crew machinery of slamming beats, dark athmospheric pads and the usual dirty samplework makes 'domino' stand out as true classic. like '808 lazerbeam' defined a whole sound, this one takes it 3 steps further with refined arrangments and finetuned dirtyness of highest calibre. 'break my body' is totally another story, relying on a funky break (who could guess its from break 3000, ehm.. ), murder kickdrum and the oldschooool bassline we could expect from the duo. its goes on, and on , and on , and on. but - what the heck, is works like a charm and its what we want, right ?

kosovo floats in with a liquid, subtly swinging beat, bubbly bassline and gentle key chords creeping in slowly: first sounding sweet but later on changing on into a beautiful yet haunting and slightly sinister melody from a grinding musical box. the intense, slightly unsettling atmosphere - as in an italian 70s horror flick - is further enhanced by the permanently nagging acidline and horn lick synth pads. for more manic dancing check orange feels: totally insane chopped up beats and f*d up string loops challenge you for some advanced electronic boogie

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

with ÈredsuperstructureÇ, robert lippok created a new foundation for his musical endeavors. now Ð 7 years later Ð this system properly comes to life on Èapplied autonomyÇ. the title of the new album is a clear indicator as to what the berlin-based producer has been up to during the last couple of years, both on a conceptual level as well as how he molds his ideas into tracks. Èapplied autonomyÇ orchestrates a certain state of frantic standstill, which occurs once a structure is set. has this state been reached, the artist is free to focus on other equally important aspects, balancing the various shades, pushing ideas even further to really make them shine and blossom in their self-declared autonomy. the more light one lets in, the more layers become visible. layers are key when it comes to understanding Èapplied autonomyÇ. big chunks of the material with which the album has been produced derive from sketches specifically made for a club performance. rather than meticulously devising each and every detail, lippok focussed instead on recording as many fragments as possible in a short period of time, elements which he could later combine and layer on stage. based on this material and his experience experimenting with it in a live environment, the album slowly began to shape. an album culminating in a collaboration with klara lewis, with whom lippok spent 2 days at the ems studios in stockholm, approaching the idea of autonomy from yet another angle. during the session, both musicians played and performed simultaneously, yet not explicitly together, lost in their own thoughts and ideas, only subconsciously taking in what the other one was coming up with. the result is ÈsamtalÇ, 14 minutes of a constantly evolving state of poise, magically connecting all the dots lippok had already defined as Èapplied autonomyÇ. the artwork for Èapplied autonomyÇ has been created by the berlin-based argentinian artist luca gutierrez. over the last couple of years, he has made a name for himself with his spectacular av performances.

rodhads debut album anxious sees the artist step away from the dancefloor and further develop the narrative qualities of his beautiful soundscapes. it was the natural next step to present the sound he began cultivating with his recent eps kinder der ringwelt and sšhne der erde as a full length lp. the experience the album is trying to convey is being thrown into a world that is ready to crush you.they have you with your back to the wall, and you are ready to give way to despair. will you be able fight back? how is it even possible? rodhad is the spearhead of a new generation of techno producers and djs. with his bass heavy grooves and dubby atmospheric soundscapes he is a sonic guide, knowing exactly where he wants to take the crowd, leading through the inexhaustible sounds of techno music in all its beauty and gloom. he fully immerses himself into the music, yet never loses himself. growing up in berlins rougher outskirts, as a teenager he was able to grasp the final flashings of berlins mythical nightlife of the 1990s at legendary places casino and ostgut. in the late 2000s the dystopian crew began their own series of parties and then the label with two seminal releases by rodhad, 1984 and blindness.

conceptual drum n bass album by kos.mos.music, which has been prepared for several years and consists of tracks united in their unordinary commonness. in a word, the general genre of the album is drum n bass, but all the tracks and each in particular are a mixture of different electronic genres based on drum n bass and jungle rhythm. one can hear sounding of idm, ethnic patterns, feel a strong influence of psychedelic electronics and in patches even some techno.
the album is opened by the harsh reality by loucura & dailiv - a powerful halfstep based on kick and bass, hypnotizing pads and drones with putting in trance melody. further dynamics of the album varies from dancefloor rolling tracks by electrosoul system, liquitek, vortex involute to avant-garde dissident & marginal, deep liquid tracks by nclear, triple sky, nummix, basic maneuver, bop & electrosoul system collab and breakbeat/jungle track by pryzma. the album is closed by shamanic bass track by light monday. vinyl version contains exclusive track by m25 & first function with more predominant idm texture.

the third longplayer from peverelist, this time released on his own livity sound imprint.

the techno revolution 30 years ago, where boundaries, walls and our own guarded natures came crumbling down? the archaic establishment-challenging attitude and forthright energy of the punks? the long-awaited eruption of gay culture that had burned and yearned since the dawn of mankind? dare you travel even further back? rewind two hundred years to the romantic revolution where men like the blitzed berloiz helped us transcend our physical limitations for suspended moments of fantastique disbeliefÉ all of these moments have shaped us, our music and our culture. each movement comprising artists who like us right now are trying to make sense of the uncertain world, the chaotic present and the fearful future. artists like hell. welcome to the futureÉreflecting over his participation and contribution to myriad cultural movements since the late 70s, his passion of ever-evolving musical form and our current socialpolitical landscape, hell taps into our collective rich histories, our combined fears and our mutual desires to create his most personal, ambitious and thought provoking body of work to date: zukunftsmusik. his fifth studio album zukunftsmusik fuses some of hellÕs strong signature motifs (his passion for subversion, his great kosmiche canvases, sudden throbbing bursts of dancefloor dynamism, subtle songcraft) yet it sounds unlike anything hell has ever created before. there are very few big club singles. a delicate balance of classical dramatic orchestral tension and evocative futuristic synthesis runs throughout. dark and light, hope and fear, fast and slow, day and night.over the course of one hour helmut josef geier invites you on a musical trip of a lifetime his lifetime, your lifetime, musicÕs lifetime.

jacek sienkiewicz is back. drifting is the artistÕs 5th full-length release and the second one on his warsaw-based label recognition since 1999. his records were played and strongly supported by renowned artists such as sven vŠth and richie hawtin, legendary producers like ricardo villalobos, uwe schmidt and recently, max loderbauer collaborated with jacek. drifting takes its listener on a complex but still accessible journey to a state-of-the-art techno territory where carl craig melodies coexist with stark minimalism of robert hood, but they serve only as entry points for further exploration

>this mix was the perfect chance to sit down with pinch & bring together a sonic which we both feel we have been working towards for a while, albeit from very different angles. in my opinion the dance music climate in the uk is enjoying a healthy & extremely interesting transitional period one which i would draw parallels to the 93/94 proto era when people were literally making up the rules as they went along. this mix is a ode to that time & our attempt at throwing some ideas out there, with the hope of sparking some imaginations & pushing things further forward< - mumdance

bong-ras new album monolith is a new step in pure hybrid electronics. seamlessly mixing all styles with ease. be it metal, drum and bass, hip hop and dubstep. a musical characteristic he has gained international praise for. monolith is divided up into two segments: alpha and omega. alpha are four hiphop-esque colossals featuring the american rapper sole, who has proven himself over the years with his crew and label anticon. omega is the dancefloor orientated part of the album where bong-ra continues with his trademark metalbreaks style which made him remix the likes of bolt thrower and even screamo legends therapy? since 1996 bong-ra has released 5 full length albums, and has released on labels such as djax. planet mu, ad noiseam, kid 606s tigerbeat 6, jason forrests cock rock disco to name a few. the biggest success came with the 2003 album bikini bandits, kill! kill! kill! managing a full rotation with the videoclip 666mph on mtv. bbcs radio 1 dj, john peel, was also a big fan, inviting bong-ra to do a famous john peel session in 2001, and was asked to be part of the peel tribute cd kats karavan containing peels 125 favourite session artists. this cd contained the likes of bob marley, boomtown rats, the jam, pj harvey and bong-ra amongst others. in the last decade bong-ra has played all the big festivals: glastonbury, lowlands, fusion, dour, eurosonic, etc and has toured europe, the us and japan. bong-ra is further known for being one of the pioneers of the breakcore genre. together with artists like venetian snares, shitmat and jason forrest they developed this unique and energetic crossbreed in the early 2000s. with monolith bong-ra continues to pave the way into heavy electronics, always re-inventing and evolving himself with every album. he recently won the dutch 3voor12 award (the largest dutch music platform) for best musician, for his bong-ra and the kilimanjaro darkjazz ensemble projects.

the album was one of the first to reach a far different audience to the traditional >world music< market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. a year later, the >nigeria 70< compilation surfaced on strut and labels like soundway and analog africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the motherland. the album is testament to the determined work of brooker following several research trips, especially to east africa - kenya and zaire!
