various is a good word to describe this escales vol.2 from croisière musique crew, the second various e.p. from the label, which seems so diverse that it almost could seem inconsistent to someone not familiar with the label. at the same time this e.p. summarizes perfectly a collection of different styles and aspects of croisière musique, from some heavy dancefloor-friendly house and techno to more abstract acid grooves, going through breaky minimalism. a1 – the e.p. starts with battle of wits from sebastian eduardo which is a direct uncompromising floor-oriented piece of house, setting a filtered atmosphere, bouncy bassline and a filtered synth which reminds us of a dubby atmosphere. a thick and compact atmospheric part progressively takes on the middle of the track and suddenly fades to let the main dancing pattern return. a2 – lowlifequalitys is a spatious acid piece which contains elements that are close to the aesthetic of video games. all synths coming together give a sense of confusion yet ordered by the repetitiveness of the loop. the sensation of something nerd and muddle rise from this experience, a expression of weirdness by the member of les points.b1 – programming behavior sets a step back in the ep, evolving around an hypnothic vocal piece which is extracted from an old interview of george clinton, heavily chopped and processed. on top of the simple breaky drum pattern which recenters the experience, gets added an arpeggio and a modular synth sounding sequence which progressively dramatizes the track. rx delivers here a mysterious piece of minimalism, bitter yet swingy. b2 – the e.p. ends with catan, the first appearance from françois, who co-founded croisière musique with rx. starting with an ambiant and breaky atmosphere, catan quickly evolves to a drivy four step techno piece. on top of the leading synth comes different glitchy elements, aerial pads and a disturbing shamanistic glitch in the middle of the track that announces a break which confuses the listener. the track follows-up on this contradiction between the hypnotic grooves and the solid drivy techno.

new years deal - winds swirl on a cold night. rain pelts thin window panes. alone sits a figure. eyes are full, his heart hollowed. riccardi schola is the man behind these images. his debut 12inch, on my mind, is a foursome of bitter break-ups and lonesome evenings. piano keys conjure up tears, mascara streaking down cheeks as wine bottles roll empty on heavily carpeted floors. vocals speak of pain, love sick melodies supported by slender snares. new wave echoes weaved with italo emotion for an ep of synthesizer solitude.

das ding, the dutch wave savant, arrives on pinkman with four works of full bodied synth sorrow. freezing rain pelts rusting machinery, a barren land of decay stretches out onto dancefloors. rasping rhythms and lumbering bass buttress bitter chords and grinding notes that compel bodies to move. and within the dereliction, behind the dilapidation and rot, burns a purity of expression that is emblematic of danny bosten s consistent quality.

maxi jazz is back to his roots with funky blues guitar music.

long awaited repress of this amazing masterpiece as very limited white vinyl edition. what happens when scales and patterns of contradicting emotional imprints combine? when light and darkness, bitter and sweet, frost and blaze collide? those are the questions that johannes heil chooses to address on his upcoming album, opening up a vast grey-scaled area for the listener to traverse with techno as a blindfold. ‘black light’ sees the german techno mainstay return to the album format for an intimate ten track odyssey of close-curtained introspection. heil chooses the words of fellow futurist nikola tesla to set the stage of the black light story >black is the true face of light, only we do not see this<. track names are dropped in favor of a chronology of scenes, better adapted to the seemingly polar opposition of the forces that the figure and cocoon regular conjures throughout the album. everything that we perceive is processed and set into relation with past memories, digested emotions and iron-branded impressions. battling the current, johannes heil chooses to challenge certitudes by forcing us out of our comfort zones into the absence of light. if the pictures painted on >black light< are dark, they are also far from monochromatic. the machine-driven sonic prism acts both as the heavy cloud and the burst of light that shoots through to guide us. its the aggressor and the victim, the clenched teeth and the jubilant, the paranoia and the sanity of the mind. its pure heads-down driving techno with volumes of grandiose. provoking our senses, extending his art onto our personal canvases, the exile boss gives the listener the freedom to interpret the emotional context of each piece, to write the scripts of the individual scenes. the impression that >black light< leaves upon first listen testifies that 20 years down the road, johannes heil shows no sign of slowing down.

high summer. sun is shining and the bordello is open to newcomers, the latest being slovenia’s ichisan. a 12” that bulldozes barriers, metamundus seamlessly slips between electro disco, braindance acid and gilded funk. writhing 303 jerks are tempered by warm-hearted key changes for the title track, patterns ducking into playful frolics and lush deeps. and this desire to toy with convention is what characterises the ep. bitter chords are sugared, machine grooves with nods to the dancefloors of the 70s, spaceflights with undertones of chicago, ichisan brings all together in a 12” that is as unique as it is addictive.

stoned raiders is the sixth studio album by hip hop group cypress hill. originally released in 2001, stoned raiders is best known for its two singles - “trouble” and “lowrider”. the song “kronologik” also summarizes cypress hill’s career from their debut movlp041 in 1991 until the album was released.

mannequin records alessandro adriani is up next for pinkman s white label series and the flavour is unapologetically wave. melodies ghost, whisper and finally roar as the italian pushes the parameters of darkened electronics. croaking samples and brutish percussion coiling to a bitter end.

our planet… is next!? yes, this is in fact the case, at least according to one stockholmdwelling, 30-something (wishes-he-was-a) failed pop star, real name arvid wretman. just how he fell from his position as poster boy of kärrtorp’s ever-vibrant noise scene to the pill-popping, cher-covering discotheque pleaser standing before us today, we could not tell you. what we do know is that studio barnhus stands ready to ride that cash train all the way ’til the bitter end! so yeah, wanna pop some pills? or do you wanna chill? varför alltid dansa och spela det ena? …and do you, or not, believe in life after love? these and many other questions are posed, but never answered, on this ypin ep, the starting point of what we hope will be a particularly lucrative bizniz venture between those two powerhouses of scandi-tronica, your planet is next and studio barnhus. ps. your planet is next’s live show will bring added marketing value and guaranteed customer satisfaction to your dance party.

in ihrer fast 15 jahre andauernden karriere haben the kills bereits vier alben veröffentlicht. jedes ist ein rastloses, gewagt hintergründiges kunstwerk, das gespickt ist mit spannung, unruhe, sex, natürlicher coolness und augenzwinkernder langeweile. dabei hört sich kein album an, wie das vorherige. „ash & ice“ ist der nachfolger von „blood pressure“ (2011), an dem die band über einen zeitraum von fünf jahren gearbeitet hat, was auch an jamie hinces handoperationen lag, nach denen er erst wieder lernen musste gitarre zu spielen.
das album erscheint als standard-version auf schwarzem 180 gramm doppel-vinyl, inklusive downloadcode.

having recently played an eight hour set to a sold-out crowd at london’s oval space, the prolific dusky drop a trio of moody club tool tracks on 17 steps as they continue their european autumn/winter tour. a club tool in the most effective sense, lead track ’lydia’ is dark, nagging acid groover that builds and builds throughout its 6 hypnotic minutes. with all the melodic material based around the lydian scale, ‘lydia’ was originally inspired by a bizarre, trippy dream alfie had in which everything was all based on the lydian scale. a homage to classic techno, ‘bitter lake’ is a hard-hitting surge of looping, percussive energy and detroit-nodding rave stabs that build to a hoover-fuelled breakdown release. rounding off the trio, the brilliantly titled and uniquely composed ‘infinite libido’ again explores dusky’s more percussive tendencies and has been a regular feature in their dj sets for the past year.

die neueste 50weapons entfleucht elegant dem techno-diktat ihrer vorgänger. dennoch bringt addison groove trotz seines hippeligen juke signature sounds mit allaby eine ganz schön gerade nummer. der präzise arrangierte track bringt ein leichtfüßiges gefühl und frischen wind auf den dancefloor, zwischendrin, als highlight oder um zu später stunde neue energie zu versprühen. auf der anderen seite packt errorsmith schon mal den airbag aus. der ist auch bitter nötig, um die sounds dieses klanggenies abzufedern und nicht von massiven basswellen überrollt zu werden. errorsmith macht keinen dubstep, keinen idm, keine bassmusik, keinen industrial-techno, er macht einfach nur sich selbst und zwar sowas von.

the second release on modern cathedrals includes an original mix by altstadt echo supplemented with remixes crafted by donor, luigi tozzi, and asop. the inclusion of donor’s remix represents a continued effort to link together the detroit and brooklyn scenes, while the luigi tozzi remix connects modern cathedrals to the ghastly, dark styles of techno that italian artists have become so respected for. as a core member of the modern cathedrals team and a primary force behind the label’s event series, asop’s remix is the very first public release of work by this incredible new detroit-based artist. but while the artist names change from record to record, the philosophy does not. we continue in a desperate attempt to generate meaning during the short spasm of a lifetime we are given in a world that seems to conspire to prevent this effort’s realization. this situation might be inescapable, but through the rejection of complacency and dogma, we can approach our end with the bitter comfort that we were at least willing to be honest about our situation.

hypnosaurus is a legendary and unclassifiable estonian techno act that proved to be very influential throughout its somewhat reclusive career. a great set with some real fire inside...some serious mindbenders on here. tip!

following 2013s sparse, beautiful another, a busy sxsw, and a vinyl reissue of their first two albums, test & recognise represents the next chapter for seekae. bitter, belligerent and confessional, this track is punctuated by up tempo 90s industrial beats generated by a vintage drum machine emulator. it will be released in conjunction with the announce of their third album the worry, and pressed on a limited 12inch with remixes from sydneys cassius select, plus label mates flume and howls. the vinyl ep includes a download code.

the first supply showcase: four label-newcomers range with veteran authority from deep house to driving techno. the opener is a grooving house burner: an infectious loop and low-slung drums build triumphantly. anders hellberg drops in some acid, with a strident 909 beat stalking an open, melodic soundscape. kicking off the flip, label co-owner jb teams up with bostonian paul morse in an icy, tantalizing variation of elastic, swinging deep-house, before stojches outward opens up an ending, its pounding beat laced with bitter-sweet detroit strings.

next hot hot adamant remixes!!!

for over 12 months thomas feriero aka avatism, our friend and label partner, has been staying at home and working on his album. he moved to berlin to work on it and now sadly (for us) yet (gladly) for him he is moving back to milan. poof! just like that. so what did this year entail exactly? well for some of us not much. we got to see him in his studio comfy pants a couple of times (he wears slippers) we heard his studio woes, ate pasta with him, drank beers and of course got to hear his album at every juncture. while this self-imposed exile may have been a little worrisome the result is fortunately spectacular. adamant is a glimpse into how a city shapes a life and how intrinsically life then shapes music.

it can be hard to pin down the elements that make up a citys signature sound, but when you hear it, you know it. and winston hazels new track, *break up*, is 100 per cent sheffield, from the boom and buzz of its bassline to the bitter-sweet choral hook that pierces it through the heart. not that this is a surprise.

part 4 of the successful various artists series on kiara records. this time with leix & hitch (novotek raw series), samu.l (saved), bimas (desolat) and piok

stompin and groovin techhouse madness

freak on opens the release, and with a nod to funk and soul incorporated through wah-wah guitar licks, bright piano chords and a modulating electro bass.
bitter sweat is up next, employing a grittier more modern mold with a hooky electronic bass, an amalgamation of vocal chops, and disco house chords driving the track.
kyodais remix of freak on follows and the berlin based spanish duo deliver yet another enthralling piece of music, its not often heard in this day and age but kyodai have managed to give a nod to the 40s musical era with style and precision, here in modern-day house music.
electronic music veteran john tejada closes the release with a stellar rework of >bitter sweat< gleaming with analogue sparkles with a dubbed out house feel with background delays and reverb tails building a deep-set atmosphere.

nima khak who normally releases deeper techno cuts on labels like h-productions, drumcode, isl comes with a release true to the 1:53.2 philosophy pushing the limits of what should be expected from the artists normal work. unlike his previous productions you will find a more laid back housey sound in this release.
the a-side track searching all around (for you) is an housey love song that is an absolute killer for those early morning hour sets!
the first track on the flip side is bitter sweet a deeper dreamier track that showcases khaks more mellow side.
on a tribe called quest, nima khak goes in to a more experimental territori, exploring a darker side of his sound

the unstoppable my favorite robot records returns with a new single from lightbluemover featuring a collaboration with regular partner black light smoke and a remix from my favorite robot, james teej & nitin… lightbluemover is the moniker adopted by dj/producer francis harris best known for his work as adultnapper.

dont be afraid present spargel trax, a two part series of vinyl-only, coloured, hand-stamped 12 inches designed to celebrate the dual themes of great seasonal music and great seasonal spargel. contributing tracks across the two 12 inchess are some of our favourite artists currently making house music. from established artists like disco nihilist, andy blake, sound species and james duncan to up and coming artists like david joseph from cologne, hodge from bristol, untitled-w from st. petersburg, for whom this is the first outing on wax, and scott fraser from glasgow. no clues though as to which is which, you?ll have to just listen to the tracks and hear for yourself! proof that 2012 is a great time for music, a great time for wax and a great time for spargel. spargel is very popular in the netherlands, spain, france, belgium, germany, and switzerland, and almost exclusively white. else, it is specified by the local language term for green asparagus. compared to the latter, the locally cultivated so-called white gold or edible ivory, also referred to as the royal vegetable, is less bitter and much more tender. freshness is highly regarded, and it must be peeled before cooking or raw consumption.

marianne faithfuls more commercial album >dangerous acquaintances< from 1981 is now being reissued on 180 grams vinyl for the first time since its original released. the album, whose title refers to the french novel >les liaisons dangereuses< contains amongst others the song >for beautys sake<, which she co-wrote with steve winwood.

welcome to the first love sick recordings release brought to you by the likes of riskotheque, marchmellow and screen age & mudie (aka southbound hangers). a side >all alone< provides an exhilarating journey through heartbreak, loss and isolation. in the intro, delayed piano chords hint at distant happy memories but soon make way for stark 808s and womb-like sub frequencies that bring the listener back to bitter reality. insistent vocal snippets serve only to galvanize the tracks emotional content. truly a song to cry to as much as dance. in contrast to this is aa >you dont understand<. positivity and hope pervade this little beauty, its glistening synth hooks and intricate drum programming conjuring thoughts of joy and new found affection. perhaps the perfect sound-track to a summer romance.
