juan atkins and moritz von oswald Ð the two indispensable protagonists of the electric garden Ð plug back into the wilderness. transport Ð the new full length effort of the borderland collaborative project Ð brings together a new set of studio-refined sequences aimed at colonizing some of the dark energy that pulsates through those areas that are thoroughly electrified, even if not Ôon the gridÕ.
the detroit-berlin axis triangulates to a third point which, like the atomic particle that lives in two places at once, flickers between a form of techno-charged ambience and a futuristic club-jazz which cannot be broken down into constitutive parts. borderland remains caught in a state of enraptured stillness, invisibly moving between every imagined future for electronic sound making. the result: a font from which springs serene and exhilarating musical ideas that vibrate with refined energy for sixty seconds in every minute.

john frusciantes foregrow doesnt sound like any acid test record, or any record, thatÕs come before it. after the unlikely alliance between the los angeles label and the iconoclastic venice, ca musician on trickfinger, all bets are off. this ones truly a passage through night. frusciantes using elements of john carpenters eternal scores, the drum programming dna of jungle and footwork, and yes, a roland tb-303, all slowed down to a crawl. foregrow is a lurching, lysergic beauty which offers glimpses of his platinum pop instincts, but only behind the veil of true experimentalism.

as both a producer and the helmsman of the outis music label, dino sabatini has carved out a distinctive musical style that shows a great reverence for both ancient archetypes and future possibilities for change (see, for example, his mnemosyne co-release with edit select, in which each track is dedicated to a separate greek goddess). with one foot planted in a mysterious past and the other foot planted in a world yet to arrive, sabatiniÕs works are carefully realized emotional journeys that intertwine shimmers of optimism with undercurrents of poignancy or nostalgia.

anfang april ver�ffentlicht ninja tune das neue album des klanggenies ash koosha. zu sagen, dass ash koosha, ein im iran geborener und in london lebender electronic-musiker ist, kratzt lediglich an der oberfl�che dessen, was es �ber diesen bemerkenswerten mann zu wissen gibt. ein syn�sthetiker, der farben als t�ne sieht, ein virtual reality pionier, ein software humanist, ein politischer k�mpfer, ein ehemaliger rockmusiker und student der klassischen musik es gibt so viele seiten von ihm, wie es facetten in seiner fraktalen, komplexen, au§erordentlichen musik gibt. koosha arbeitet haupts�chlich mit seinen eigenen field recordings, behandelt jede gesampelte quelle als physikalisches objekt, er quetscht, streckt, verzerrt und formt soundeinheiten, bevor er einen hintergrund aus klassischer musik persisch und westlich hinzuf�gt, sicher auch ein �berbleibsel aus seiner zeit am teheran conservatory of music. das ergebnis strukturiert und formt er zu ergreifenden, originellen und oft wundersch�nen bewegungen ein prozess, den er als finden von geometrie in sounds bezeichnet. koosha hat schon mehr getan und erlebt, als die meisten k�nstler in ihrer gesamten lebenszeit: so sa§ er im iran wegen seiner musik im gef�ngnis und musste in gro§britannien asyl suchen

die musikwelt war hochgespannt, als nach zehnj�hriger pause ein neues new order album erscheinen sollte. dass der inzwischen f�nfk�pfigen band mit music complete aber ein solcher return to form- (spex) gelingen w�rde, haben so einige nicht mehr erwartet. der nun vorliegenden, neuen new order-single -singularity- attestierte der musikexpress zudem, sie w�rde einiges der -blue monday--dna in sich tragen. und in der tat ist der song mit seiner einmaligen balance aus rock und elektronik, dunkel, energiegeladen und tanzbar, die perfekte sound-symbiose von ursprungsband joy division und der sich hier auft�rmenden, grunderneuerten new order.
die cd-version der single enth�lt neben dem single edit, einen extended mix sowie edits von erol alkan, mark reeder, js zeiter und tom rowlands.

over the course of the past ten years, stil vor talent has striven to support emerging young artists, to continuously broaden and redefine its sound, and, ultimately, to create lasting memories, both on and off the dance floor. the dance floor is the place where we gather to leave the worries of our everyday lives behind, and, for those few moments, form a bond, which transcends the final track of the night. a bond between each other between the artist and the dancer between ourselves and the music. on 10 years stil vor talent we celebrate this bond and say thank you.

much-celebrated kompakt staple the field returns to the spotlight with new album the follower, his fifth full-length offering after from here we go sublime (kompakt rsd 02 cd 57), yesterday and today (kompakt 193 cd 72), looping state of mind (kompakt 241 cd 94) and cupids head (kompakt 290 cd 110). swedish soundsmith axel willner is well-known for his mastery when it comes to the allusive layering of loops, but it was with his last album cupids head that a newly-found, somewhat pressing snappishness started to replace the soft-hued sonics of his ambient-infused techno, imbued with a darker mood and stronger footing than before. a carefully gauged balance of stoic motorik and gloomy drones was key here - just as it is for the follower which goes even further in blurring the lines between concrete experimentation, body music and precisely laid-out arrangement, leading to one of the most rhythmically and texturally engaging listening experiences in willners catalogue.

the idea that france once had a genius and let him go to california where he was more welcome and appreciated than in paris is, in the digital area, a trivial issue. every single web entrepreneur heads towards the silicon valley to develop his ideas. during the 70s, this was less ordinary. back then, it was another area, music, which witnessed the departure of a very talented guy for the united states, a country that quickly understood he was a star.

the first years, from his first album in 1976 to his 7th in the middle of the 80s, were fuelled with an exemplary sense of creativity and a free-spirit vision. against everyoneÕs advice, cerrone was never reluctant to compose long and pure trance disco tracks, not exactly radio-friendly at the time, but which did incredibly well because they encapsulated the hedonism of the day and were far more than a trend. for instance, love in c minor and supernature have become unbeatable classics, featured regularly in the best pop, disco or dance selections. such a success would have burnt most of the othersÕ wings, whose career would have been ruined. at the beginning of the 80s, when he decided to unleash his creativity on stage, cerrone managed to rebound with you are the one studio album.

the last 12 months have been a boon for fans of luke vibert, with the veteran cornishman delivering a killer acid album for hypercolour, and a slick, melodious set of disco-inspired jams under his kerrier district alias. here he returns to regular home planet mu with another typically entertaining set inspired by classic british electronic music. utilising his battery of vintage music-making machines, vibert giddily doffs a cap to early 90s intelligent techno, rave-era hardcore, bleep, chicago acid and braindance, occasionally veering off track via easy listening inspired future jazz, wagon christ style hip-hop head-nodders (the title track, which doffs a cap to a forgotten, mid-90s remix he did for ninja tune) and squidgy, synth-propelled mutant electrofunk.

from a festival to a feature to friendship, from techno to electronica to a band. in this manner towards twitter compatibility, one may describe eating snow s previous path, which has really just begun for douglas greed and mooryc, with only few characters. the two of them met in 2010 at a festival in poland, only shortly afterwards the joint tracks -pain- and -morning gloria- developed, which can be listened to on douglas greed s debut album krl. however, dougi and mooryc weren t just in tune with each other quickly, they also automatically arrived at a common sound despite their different musical roots, which ranges from sensual indietronica to powerful house right up to perfectly grooving pop moments.

aufgenommen wurde die platte in los angeles und im heimstudio der band in norwegen. nach den etwas pomp�seren werken one armed bandit und live with the britten sinfonia begibt sich starfire auf experimentelleres terrain und ist bestimmt durch die arbeit im studio, wo jedem song verschiedenste klangliche nuancen beigemischt wurden. der sound von marcus forsgrens gitarre spielt auf starfire eine ebenso prominente rolle, wie der einsatz von elektronischeren kl�ngen, das macht es zu dem am wenigsten jazzigen album von jaga jazzist.
