scuba refocuses his scb project with ‘below the line’, coming this october on hotflush recordings.
‘below the line’ inaugurates a fictional timeline of events set in a hypothetical future. a climate-related disaster acts as a catalyst for a complete overturn in society, the repercussions of which will be explored subsequently.
the british producer has become one of modern dance music’s most pioneering figures, having produced four full-length albums, various eps and contributed mix albums to renowned series such as dj kicks, fabric, and for berghain’s ostgut ton label over the last decade. donning the scb name in 2010, paul rose’s pseudonym for esoteric techno found home on labels like aus, nonplus and hotflush recordings, not to mention its own eponymous imprint.

has underground house really run out of ideas? the aesthetic is no doubt getting worn out: you can barely move for tounge-in-cheek dj aliases, palm-tree emojis and vhs screen grabs of 90s a-listers. against that backdrop, helter cuts through like a rough-edged asteroid. -polaris ep-, the london producer s debut vinyl release after a few leaked tracks created a buss on soundcloud, hits the reset button on the hackneyed discourse that surrounds decayed house music. the four tracks on offer cascade between blasts of tectonic rhythm, colour and melody, and washed-out ambience, intertwining and soaking into each other. the deck is still broken, but it punches in all the right places. a sun-warped, boards of canada sequel pumped full of adrenaline and grit. the soundtrack to a broken ecstasy, sure to leave half the kids in a trance and the other with shit dripping down their legs. helter is pushing the genre of misshapen house music into a new dimension - one with more energy, and through a truly shattered lens.

the second reference of mostly records only vinyl includes jorge savoretti as flafour project, pedro d’alessandro from the underground córdoba city scene. our friends from rosario, uefr, presents their covert participation on this release and finally, to open this reference, the founders of mostly make an exquisite collaboration for the dance floor.

resurgam bedeutet ich werde wiederauferstehen- und ist das heiß ersehnte, sechste studioalbum von fink. die band besteht aus dem in england geborenen und in berlin lebenden singer/songwriter und bandgründer fin greenall und seinen langjährigen mitstreitern tim thornton (drums, gitarre) und guy whittaker (bass). das album erscheint mitte september 2017 bei r coup d / ninja tune. der titel -resurgam- entstammt einer lateinischen inschrift aus einer 900 jahre alten kirche in greenalls heimat cornwall. diese haltung pulsiert durch das ganze album, das vom wegweisenden produzenten flood (pj harvey, u2, foals, warpaint, the killers) in seinen assault & battery studios in nord-london aufgenommen wurde. die zehn neuen tracks wurden innerhalb von zwei monaten geschrieben einer luxuriösen zeitspanne im vergleich zu vorherigen fink-alben und bilden einen songzyklus, der zugleich selbstbewusst und umfassend ist. resurgam ist ein mutiges neues kapitel, aber auch unverkennbar fink: mit ganzem herzen, gefühlvoll, unbändig, aufregend. ein klares highlight!

a dusty tape of six tracks unearthed beneath the pinkman broken dreams division. nothing is known about this unnameable artist apart from his sound. a legion of hiss marches across the cassette, a blighted beat bites into lancing synthlines that bellow and writhe in their pitiful attempt to escape. strings are left to howl in turmoil in tracks born out of a crude joke and wry smile. mick wills offers no condolences, the stuttgart man lashing away any humanity with his embittered edit. found in the pit, made for the pit. *** digital download code included ***

ein organisch fließendes ambient-debüt mit guten absichten.
man kann sich tim mislocks debütalbum -now is the last best time- auf zwei weisen nähern. rein musikalisch betrachtet handelt es sich um ein von der gitarre dominiertes ambient-werk. mit seinen organisch fließenden klanglandschaften ist es hörbar von größen wie brian eno, stars of the lid oder eluvium beeinflusst, was hier durchaus als kompliment verstanden werden darf. abgerundet werden die sechs tracks durch minimal-einflüsse eines max richters oder jonny greenwoods. jenseits der musik ist es mislock aber auch ein konzeptionelles anliegen, mit seinen kompositionen auf die krankheit alzheimer aufmerksam zu machen. -i wanted to raise awareness of the disease-, so der musiker. mit alzheimer kam er durch die erkrankung seines stiefvaters in kontakt. alzheimer ist eine schwere erkrankung des gehirns und die häufigste form der demenzerkrankung. in deutschland werden jährlich rund 120.000 diagnosen gestellt. tendenz: steigend! für familienmitglieder ist alzheimer eine extreme belastung, und so war es auch bei mislocks mutter, die sich aufopferungsvoll um ihren mann kümmerte. und auch daran dockt -now is the last best time- an: -i also wanted to develop a historical document to thank my mother and tell her that her generosity and kindness have not gone unnoticed.-

the second release in endless illusion s series of split eps comes from marcos cabral & daniel araya and features two tracks from each artist. new york s cabral is known for his experimental idm and techno on labels like l.i.e.s. while daniel araya has recently released an album of acid, techno and industrial on the classicworks label. araya s we almost lost detroit is first and is a truly haunted deep techno cut with sparse acid undulations and a real sense of manic in the rasping synth lines. softer pads in the background only add to the spooky nature of the track. ghost bass is the other araya cut and this one is more up on its toes, with mid tempo kicks down low and wonky chords up top. it s a mind melting tune that trips deep into the night. live at the egg is cabral s first effort and is a lonely and icy techno track that is supple and seductive in its long lines and paddy drums. after getting you into a state of hypnosis, some freaky vocal sounds only add to the unsettling nature of it all later on. cuts & bruises rounds things out in squelchy and depraved techno territory. muted acid stabs are off in the distance as swampy drums suck you in from the front. it s a brilliantly odd tune that close out a fine ep.

it had been four years since juxtaposition, radians last record. chimeric is not a polished album. within the context it is raw, broken, even dark sometimes. steady, multiple rhythms, layered on top of each other disappear into chaos and turn back into discreet structures in the next moment. references of rock music, executed with the precision of a sequencer, mutated, restructured. a lot on this album is about control and the loss of control. the risk of failure. but chimeric is much more free. some of the longer pieces are composed of very different parts and different colours along a continuous timeline. they tend to evolve in a narrative form and are moving through various scenes and surroundings, which is also present in the spacial relationship between the instruments.

synthicide is a monthly party that has nurtured dark synth-driven music in brooklyn, new york since january 2014. each artist featured on this compilation has performed at synthicide in some capacity and whose work aligns with the very sentiment of the party: moody, oft-aggressive, sometimes sleazy and with a heavy 1980s influence.

hip hop classics from ll cool j 1985

roots vocalist barry brown has an inimitable style that has long made him a favourite of reggae enthusiasts. drawing from the popular phrasing of horace andy, but morphing it into his own delivery through the kind of wordless slurring that occasionally resembles the sound of a quacking duck, brown found his way into the jamaican music scene through the many amateur west kingston talent contests of the early 1970s, along with fellow aspiring talents such as johnnie clarke, sugar minott and the african brothers, and the mighty diamonds. he also honed his vocal skills on local west kingston sound systems such as tape tone, together with other young dancehall-oriented youth such as barrington levy, sammy dread, roy taylor and tristan palmer. there are still conflicting claims as to who was the first to record brown, with production veteran bunny ‘striker’ lee and sugar minott among the contenders, but in any case, during the late 1970s and early 1980s, he produced a range of captivating work for various producers, much of which is rightly coveted today. ‘ital rock’ appeared on barry’s 1983 lp i’m still waiting, issued by rocktone international, a spin-off of sugar minott’s black roots outfit, based in queens, new york (with a further branch in toronto), the b-side has dean fraser’s previously unreleased electrifying saxophone cut, rescued from dub plate obscurity by jah fingers.

ursa’s reef is a late 80’s traveller and surfer wandering endlessly in the secluded raves of goa, searching for his own soul while dancing in abandon to the proto-trance journeys of goa gil. brought up in sintra, portugal, by a family of uptight catholic hypocrites, ur goes rogue in his early 20’s, seduced by the esoteric teachings of levi, pessoa, crowley and israel regardie while keeping an unhealthy obsession with roxy music. he is also a fictional, made up persona - a musical heteronym - of lisbon-based dj and producer marco rodrigues, mostly known for his work under the name photonz. together with his friend jose acid - a musical heteronym of joao ervedosa aka shcuro - he makes one last trip to goa that could prove fatal.

ghosts inside stands as ekin fil’s most arresting recordings to date, written during a period of personal despair with an oblique poetry of sadness cascading through the songs. it’s an introspective sound, completely turned in on itself and tuning out the socio-political tumult of her native home in istanbul. in confronting psychic distress, heartache and depression, ekin fil blocks out the rest of the world to concentrate on the immediate issues of human relationships and their many complications. allusions to catharsis flicker through the sullen, narcotized beauty of ghosts inside, updating the mood found on those classic 4ad albums of the 80s (i.e. garlands, it’ll end in tears, lonely is an eyesore, etc.) orbiting the spheres of grouper, lovesliescrushing and stars of the lid.

swedish wonder-producer dj different debuts on mood of the era with an emotional yet gritty four tracker. the undisputed ep features 4, raw and heavy jams, soaked in emotion. the mesmerisingly different moods are captured and enclosed on a luscious translucent 12” magenta vinyl. full sleeve artwork by helsinki-based illustrator and artist milena huhta.

originally released in 1979, now back on 180 gram double vinyl, housed in gatefold sleeve.

dj, record label impresario and former swedish champion b-boy, mad mats knows a thing or two about finding good music. as well as iconic underground imprints raw fusion and gamm, mad mats is a partner in the highly regarded local talk label, making it highly probable that most of the world’s influential djs have at least one of his discoveries in their record bags.
for his first compilation on bbe, mats has put together a diverse selection of cuts, from reggae, hip hop and soul to boogie, electronica and house, reflecting his open-minded approach to djing.

a dark kingdom, erected from rubble, an arid production clashed with unstructured loops, some of which, though already used, are like reborn from their ashes in a climate of dull violence. jazz, soul, classical, gospel, lyrical grandeur, in an atmosphere of conquest or on a minimalist piano coming straight out of a thriller, the pair of rhyme-makers compete with any instrument, finale temperating by a laid and reflective flow the fiery fangs fel sinks on every bar. this kingdom, fel & finale, will have built it alone, fel sweetenberg taking charge of all the beats delivered to the duo s screened pages in ink, the door ajar only to let dj djaz introduce his turntable s tonearm to scarify the groove with his unique cuts. balancing the forces, bringing their ambition beyond the ill-famed streets that have already crowned them, finale & fel sweetenberg raise the matt colors of a demanding rap, the radiance of their banner now beyond the limits of a detroit-camden axis. two kings, two crowns. a reign: that of hip hop.

unter der regie von mastermind jono ma entstand das album nach über drei jahren weltweiten tourens (u.a. mit bands wie foals, the xx und tame impala) und erfüllt alle durch das gefeierte 2013er debüt -howlin - hochgesteckten erwartungen.

kutmah wird anfang august sein lange erwartetes albumdebüt “the revenge of black belly button!” (oder trobbb!) via big dada veröffentlichen. mit dabei ist eine lange liste hochkarätiger gäste, darunter gonjasufi, jonwayne, natureboy flako, ta raach, jeremiah jae, zeroh, zackey force funk, n8noface, sach, akello g light und dj chris p cuts. gemeinsam erzeugen sie experimentell-medidative zen-loops, schrullig berstende beats und abstrakte raps, glasklaren punk und noise und sogar folk- und blues-inspirierte nummern.
gepriesen von flying lotus als -einer der einflussreichsten djs des beat-movements-, werden kutmahs fähigkeiten und seine vision als produzent auf “trobbb!” in den vordergrund gerückt. dabei ist das album eine äußerst sentimentale angelegenheit, die stark seine vergangenheit referenziert, aber auch der zukunft entgegenblickt.

das indie-trio girl ray, bestehend aus den 3 londonerinnen poppy hankin, iris mcconnel & sophie moss, ver¸ffentlicht sein deb?talbum earl grey auf moshi moshi. die band gr?ndete sich vor zwei jahren im alter von 16 jahren. mit viel witz und einer spur wehmut dokumentiert sie in ihren songs die dramen der pubert§t auf eine art, die ihrem alter weit voraus ist. aufgenommen mit dem gitarristen mike o malley in den big jelly studios, ist earl grey ein album voller erfindungen und ehrgeiz geworden, dessen zarte und sonnige melodien noch lange wild in den k¸pfen der h¸rerinnen tanzen werden.

zone records welcome a real legend in the form of cardopusher for their next ep, a five track affair that is arresting from the off. venezuelan born cardopusher is now based in barcelona and co-founded the classicworks label. his diverse and experimental sound takes him from techno to electro to acid to rave to house, all with his own singular perspective. always fusing ideas with great skill on labels like super rhythm trax, zodiac 44 and bnr, he now comes correct for zone. kicking things off is the raw and raucous ‘nothing left to believe in.’ it is a macho tune with fractured vocals, wild synths and slap funk drums all sounding industrial and tortured. then comes blast cut, a more dynamic and stripped back electro groove with a corrugated bassline and metallic synth stabs all sounding informed by the past but looking to a distant future.

strong and hypnotic techno from the mysterious swedish artist lakej.

nice price deal !!! four track ep of thumping sub lo techno, inspired in part by the schlocky writings of h p lovecraft. precision styled explorations into the outer side of the dance – hyperactive percussion, jacking kick drums and some serious low end bass create a dirty machine funk to shake booties as much as tickle the cerebral heads.

enter tsuruda. championing one of the most innovative and heartfelt collectives in the los angeles area, this salt lake city native has a very bright future ahead of him. expertly combining the hard-hitting percussion of trap, the swagger and depth of hip hop, and a style of sampling and melody creation all his own, tsuruda truly brings a unique and gripping sound to the stage. in a scene where true originality and heart is often difficult to find, tsuruda follows a similar path to artists like ta-ku and mr. carmack. he understands his love for music and his own struggle, and brings them into the light for his listeners. following his extensive body of work be sure to look out for his album “move”, dropping on noisia’s division imprint soon.

new underground label abstraxx presents greg son for its first release, delivering 2 astounding pieces of music, clearly influenced by the golden age of detroit dance music. with its raw disco loop and funky bass line ‘rough edges’ has a great house dub vibe. the track builds up nicely adding a subtle abstract spacey-pad and rather unusual background sounds making the track stronger and stronger throughout.this could quite easily become some dj’s secret weapon! while ‘rough cut’ takes a more deep house approach, taking the listener into an intense journey, reminiscent of some detroit dance classics.

what does teen spirit smell like, anyway? it might smell something like noise addict. like the real life stars of some sort of choose-your-own-adventure book about pursuing rock stardom, few bands ever led a more charmed existence, springing from the sydney suburb of bondi into seemingly overnight international fame as friends and collaborators of sonic youth, fugazi, and the beastie boys. through a combination of relentless drive, luck, and an admirable lack of self-doubt, noise addict spanned puberty to surpass the haters and join radio birdman and nick cave as a strange but permanent piece of australian punk history.
compiled here are 25 tracks, including their evan dando-worshipping satire “i wish i was him,” the thurston moore produced demo, choice cuts from their grand royal-issued ep and lp, and covers of “let’s lynch the landlord” and “back in your life.” the entire sordid adolescent tale is covered in incredible detail inside the black and white 16 page zine. and finally, for the first time in the history of record pressing, and for no good reason at all, the cover for 10.000 kids with guitars doubles as a working chalkboard.
limited to 2000 copies on black vinyl.

scotland s premier electro alchemist is back on shipwrec and this time flying solo with five shards of sharpened machine music. beats rain down in solid sheets, a hail of drum patterns pelt and pound. acid scorn, speeding snares and scorched sound roar and rumble in the menacing -days of rage.- the 12- hisses and howls, sending forth a searing line of percussion as gears crank and grown. -glasgow to detroit- is just as fiery, scorn and sparks leaping off burning bars. aggression is always at the surface, and behind the razor rhythms lurks a palpable paranoia, as in -daisy cutter- or -uprising.- the only respite comes with the complex and textured -stones and sticks.- harsh mechanics from an industrial heartland.

one third of london modular alliance and sought after electro artist pip williams (aka phil ventre) graces cpu with some acid drenched electro-funk. over driven 808 percussion and 303 basslines slice through this ep with searing accuracy creating a highly effective dj weapon. ventre’s jedi like synthesis skills are inspiring, with sublime sculpted leads and sci-fi bleeps rhythmically scattered throughout, all 4 tracks give you an insight into his synchronised sub-oscillating mind.
