ein ganzes jahr ist seit dem letzten release der beiden suol-macher chopstick & johnjon vergangen. mit der roots ep schicken sie nun den ersten vorboten ihres angekündigten debüt-albums in die welt hinaus. gesangliche unterstützung leistet hier signaljacker von der uk-band stateless (ninja tune, k7). zwei verschiedene mixe gibt es vom titeltrack - der originalmix kommt melancholisch daher, während der alternative mix sommerliche leichtigkeit versprüht. außerdem enthalten ist mit still breathing ein track, der die beiden berliner so deep und dubbig zeigt wie nie zuvor.

without trying to making it into a thing in its own right, there is a bit of a coincidence that is appearing for some of our houndstooth artists. following dylan richards chrysalis-like metamorphosis into house of black lanterns, alec storey is the latest artist to shift phase and re-christen his output after signing to our label, progressing from the al tourettes moniker in favour of the more becoming, second storey. whilst his new name might be in homage to the musical path set forth for him by his father, the four-track margosa heights ep sounds very little like anything you have heard from the bristol based producer before.

all 10 releases + brand new dpk11!! dapayk solo is a studio workaholic and he strikes a blow for vinyl. in 2009 he started his very own vinyl only series called dpk, next to his well established labels mo s ferry, fenou and rrygular. the idea was to present vinyl in striking colours as a special format for his liveset tracks and beloved edits by artists such as format:b, super flu, sascha braemer and jon hester. it s a feast for the eyes and the ears all in one. now, four years later and after reaching #10 of the series, dapayk decided to compile all tracks in a collectors box. in addition to the previously released records he also included the brand new dpk #11 with a remix by aka aka. this big bundle contains 23 tracks and ranges from minimalistic to funfair tunes and also some edgy b-sides.

brother jt is central, pa’s john terlesky whose freewheeling boundless music has been released under many different monikers: brother jt & vibrolux, brother jt3 and most commonly brother jt. he has worked with an impressive roster of tastemakers such as drag city, siltbreeze, birdman, and drunken fish. brother jt is a moniker that finds terleskys songwriting and ample guitar skills taking a decidedly psychedelic form but never deviating too far from the classic song structure.

gleich drei produzenten holte jessie ware für ihr neues album devotion ins boot. neben julio bashmore und kid harpoon war auch dave okumu (the invisible) an der platte beteiligt. herausgekommen ist ein naturgemäß vielschichtiges album, welches nicht zuletzt durch seine abwechslungsreichen songs besticht.

3 track 12 from new but not new artist anno stamm. an alias of berlin producer lars stöwe aka anstam who has been one of our favourite producers around all city towers these last few years. original with a capital o, anno stamm is allowing him to fiddle about in the undergrowth even further. raw and twisted, dark with a dash of colour and heavy with the drums. 3 tracks in all, and those of a certain vintage should be able to spot the sample on lead track * i still have the photographs*. as always for those to whom such things matters - theres the usual full colour shrink-wrapped artwork with a download code.

the 4th album by swedish duo the knife aka karin and olof dreijer as heavyweight double 12 inch vinyl.

like their american third stream predecessors, the three musicians on stage, donald chifamba on cello, vimbai mukarati on sax and vocals and his brother tinashe on congas and marimbas, accompanied by the experienced pianist filbert marova, produced a kind of music that resisted any kind of stylistic pigeon-holing. it also mixed the influences of classical music and jazz but added in pop, soul and the melodies of their shona culture.

following on from the slow it down & elijah collins release comes a new addition to the retrospective family in the form of elias tzikas. better known for his house music production, elias has been a global name since 1996 with his numerous productions gaining support from the likes of osunlade, maw, moodyman, kevin yost, joe claussell, kerri chandler & dimitri from paris to name a few.

it has been four long years since glissando released the critically acclaimed >with our arms wide open we march towards the burning sea< and the duo finally return this november with a new record >the world without us<. the new material bares glissandos trademark of ethereal voices and tip-toing piano melodies but the overall sound is richer and more expansive. epic swells of strings and guitars sore above the drones and field recordings to create an intense yet fragile noise. this lp is a highly limited deluxe package of just 300 copies, including code for free mp3 download of the full album.

die musik ist eindeutig an den heavy-jam krautrock der fruehen 70er angelehnt, ueberwiegend episch, spielfreudig und angeheizt von treibenden vintage-fuzz/wahwah-gitarrenriffs und einer massiv marschierenden rhythmussektion. ihre psychedelischen improvisationen von teils weit über zehn minuten lassen auf geschmackvolle art ebenso platz für experimentelle passagen in denen sphaerische orgel / sax / gitarren soundeffekte dominieren, um intensive, originelle und facettenreiche klangbilder zu erzeugen. hier erscheint nun erstmalig das komplette neu zusammengestellte material von spaceship landing inklusive drei bonus tracks mit einer laufzeit von 79.5 min, welches auf authentische art, rein analog produziert und re-mastered wurde.

deep but purposeful, this is house music for the cosiest of late-night dancing spaces that will no doubt bring plenty of deserving attention on trevor deep jr.

mit >life is full of possibities< von 2001 wurde dntel zu einer der wichtigsten figuren der glitch-szene, die der elektronischen musik eine neue dynamik und komplexität verlieh. unvergessliche songs wie >anywhere anyone< verschafften ihm eine treue fan-schar. seit dieser zeit sinnierte dntel, der mit bürgerlichem namen jimmy tamborello heißt, in zahllosen veröffentlichungen gefühlswelten und stimmungen nach. als teil von figurine entwickelte er einen mal anmutig-bezaubernden, mal irrwitzig-albernen techno-pop-sound. mit ben gibbard von death cab for cutie gründete er postal service, deren nummer such great heights wurde vom rolling stone unter die hundert wichtigsten songs des vergangenen jahrzehnts gewählt. dass tamborello als einziger electronic-act des nirvana-labels sub pop gesignt wurde, war zwar eine kleine sensation, rückte ihn aber aus dem blickfeld seiner europäischen fans. schon in den ersten momenten versetzt einen aimlessness mitten in den dntel-kosmos. von van dyke parks bis pavement, von den dead kennedys bis zu dr. dre hat popmusik aus kalifornien durch ihre emotionale abgründigkeit fasziniert. genauso zieht uns dntel in einen unwahrscheinlichen strudel aus irisierend schönen melodien und noch nie gehörten elektronischen klängen.

glitterbugs albums, releases and remixes (on respected labels such as mule, nowtown, ghostly, ki records and many more) have long placed him in a musical and artistic category of his own. he is a timeless, skillful and daring producer, immune to hypes and seasonal sub-genre fashions. he has developed his own particular musical language that spans seamlessly between deep techno and abstract intimate compositions, always poignant with score-like textures. his 3rd studio album, cancerboy, is another milestone conjoining powerful musical expression with heavy content.

originally recorded for chris blackwell of island records the rights of ‘life of contradiction’ were then given to joe higgs who released the album in jamaica and the u.k. in 1975. it was immediately obvious that this was a unique collection coming from a completely different direction to the other reggae releases of the period. although joe had first recorded some of the songs in the early sixties for studio one it was as if he was at last able to realise a vision of his own music that had previously been denied to him: either by financial constraints or from not having the right situation with the right musicians.

ashford & simpsons return to europe for the first time in 20 years is celebrated with the release of this 16 classic song compilation on limited edition double album. nicholas ashford & valerie simpson are soul icons responsible for gold and platinum hits through the 60s, 70s and 80s for such artists as marvin gaye, chaka khan, diana ross and gladys knight (their solo hits include >solid<). this is the first time many of these have been assembled on one collection, but expansion have gone one step further by combining the hits with seminal disco records like >over & over< (sylvester), the two-step anthem >keep away girls< (stephanie mills), the awesome >california soul< (by marlena shaw, as utilized by kfc), the modern soul smash >top of the stairs< (collins & collins) and an exclusive remix of >aint no mountain high enough< (marvin gaye/tammi terrell).

nachdem die gruppe 1973 von ihrem sommerurlaub zurückgekehrt war, widmeten sich benny andersson und björn ulvaeus der komposition neuer lieder. der erste song, der in diesen sessions aufgenommen wurde, war dance (while the music still goes on), welcher sehr von den aufnahmen von phil spector inspiriert war. es folgten im oktober die aufnahmen für my mama said, honey honey, what about livingstone und suzy-hang-around. im november wurde lediglich der king kong song aufgenommen, der später von vielen fans als „der albernste song, den die band jemals produziert hat“ bezeichnet wurde.

diese keith hudson aufnahme von 1974 ist so etwas wie ein verlorenes schmuckst?ck, das wegen seines gesangsstil in den letzten jahren immer mehr an bedeutung gewonnen hat. untergebracht in einem sonnigen cover artwork klang entering the dragon mit keith hudosns unverwechselbarem vocal style zu seiner zeit wahrscheinlich ziemlich erschreckend, wirkt aber heutztage wie ein wendepunkt in der entwicklung von dancehall und hip hop. besonders highlights sind st?cke wie will you come out tonight , it was when friends started to talk about you und rage of love !

spannung im song: das kölner duo steht für sich selbst.

excellent 2011 edits !! tipp
