echocord returns late june with a new release, joel alter under his jor-el alias, entitled ‘tilted reality’ and comprising three originals from the swedish artist. currently based in copenhagen, sweden born producer and dj joel alter is a name synonymous with the contemporary techno scene on both his home turf and across the globe, his back catalogue to date features a long player for the uncanny valley imprint, solo ep’s for d’julz’ bass culture, sweatshop and collaborative works for kontra musik alongside henrik johnsson amongst much more. this time round though we see alter return under his jor-el guise under which he first started releasing material on dj hell’s internation deejay gigolo imprint. up first is title-track ‘tilted reality’ laid out over seven minutes with a slowly unfolding dynamic feel, encompassing spiraling atmospherics, distorted rhythms and blooming stab- sequences. ‘elevation’ follows and takes a more direct groove-driven approach via straight four-four percussion and hooky bass chops, whilst tension building pads and fluttering dub echoes gradually build around the foundation. ‘solitude’ closes out the package deliving into deeper realms with soft ethereal dub chords, acid tinged leads and emotive strings.

soeren bodner alias monkey maffia is in his deepest corners most definitely one of these. as 50% the mass of the duo wighnomy brothers he along with ex-dj partner robag delivered for more than 1 and 1/2 decades the thunderous current to the dance floors of the world. his vinyl collection has a great measure of the university library. his creativity is just the same. thats why his release debut is nurtured from a kiln of ideas and inspiration. now finally a new valve of creativity of monkey-energy, as it were. fluctuations and trends of the genre he gives a sly wink to. for him quality and originality is taken seriously. there is not just a mere taste when hearing his track-select ingredients of his own making. the same as in his sets, there is an indisputable >happening< along with a diversity in the pieces. it is quite simply monkey maffia unadulterated - sometimes coaxingly understanding, sometimes psychotic with a thump in the hand and scratching on the head...

wir begrüßen ripperton unter seinem alter ego headless ghost zurück auf drumpoet community! der schweizer maestro kommt erneut mit einer grandiosen 6-track ep, die von techno-infizierten tracks (“abandon”) über emotionale midtempo stücke bis zu wunderbar arrangierten relaxten listening-nummern, ein rundes wohltemperiertes und hoch-muskalisches paket bietet. while the attention to detail might reveal a production career that spans two decades, the music itself oozes out an undeniable freshness and confirms that ripperton is as hungry as ever to express his talent. from the stripped-down grooves of „see you never“ to the tremendous techno-influenced „abandon“ via the emotional ride of „one day ok, one day not“ or the poignant „real smile fades“, this ep is an absolute delight for your ears, soul and feet!

jeremiah jae (aka black daffi) is an experimental hip-hop artist born and raised on the south side of chicago. he is a visual artist, producer, emcee and founding member of black jungle squad, a music collective consisting of close friends and family. early works by jae dating back to 2007, display his unique style and approach to crafting his own version of “hip-hop”. the genre is one of many foundations the artist uses to communicate his range of styles as shown on previous self-released albums, compilations and collaborations (holy smoke, oliver the 2nd, l’orange, cohenbeats, pbdy), as well as praiseworthy offerings on brainfeeder and warp records. with his newest solo album daffi, jae expands on his production and speaks in the persona of his alter ego to express a darker side.

after being absent for a while, glance is returning with a uncompromising authentic record on footjob. it recently has become quieter around the man who used to be a founding member of running back, but for this occasion he went and dug in his archives and came back with some beautiful old tracks, just to compile them in a classic, full of groove second footjob ep. as a bonus he finishes and ends the record with two downbeat sounding songs in reminiscence of his former genre crossing alter ego siro. so this goes out to all the realkeeper, oldschooler und newcats. glance is back on the map.

after previously releasing starship commander woooo woooos mastership lp, left ear records have continued excavating the archives of the artist more formally known as omer coleman jr. the result is two handpicked mid 80’s instrumentals salvaged from the original master tapes, as well as an extended vocal edit on the flip for good measure. after laying his alter ego to rest omer made a handful of electronic releases on his own kansas based remo label. of these releases left ear has selected their two favourite instrumentals: lovin babe sure is fun and so good. lovin babe sure is fun was originally released in 85 and was created to celebrate a time in america where the economy was good, people were happy and love was in the air, the essence of which omer captured using his roland 808 and 303 in what may best be described as acid-boogie. so good on the other hand is a sensual downtempo cut shaped with heavy-bass, telephone samples and guitar solos that conjures images of late night rendezvous and compromising scenarios.

next up is berlin s christopher rau with his -f.m.e. hustle- long player. the long time firm favourite delivers 11 tracks full of hiss and soul. from driven dub techno to cool house and ambient excursions rau travels far without loosing the interrelation.

auf dem bis dato facettenreichsten und zugleich schlüssigsten werk daniel lopatins, verknüpft der 35-jährige die unterschiedlichsten musikalischen einflüsse – von alter musik über country- und folk-balladen bis hin zu melodischem pop, computer-musik und noch ganz anderen stilen –, womit er abermals eindrucksvoll belegt, wie vielschichtig und komplex sein musikbegriff ist. indem er klangwelten entwirft, die einerseits verwirrend geläufig sind, dabei aber doch ganz klar seine handschrift tragen, entführt er die hörer und hörerinnen im verlauf von -age of- auf vollkommenes neuland.
