the beauty of one of those nights can be found in the blend of simplicity and functionality. both tunes are outlined by an almost brutal reduction to the core elements. carefully selected sounds that are arranged in a highly effective sequence of patterns - that is the definition of fabio papa s music. his long time experience as a live performer is reflected directly in his productions. it doesnt take a lot of elements to get a perfect groove he states, but without groove, there is no fire on the dancefloor. the record gets topped off by two powerful remixes by ander and the f.e.m. ensemble.

sonic groove records presents a new masterpiece entitled �realism� by artist rhys fulber, his career as a waveform alchemist and sonic innovator began with the band front line assembly, a project he helped both instigate and shared an imaginative vision with fellow pioneer bill leeb who is otherwise known for his work with early skinny puppy. the sound of front line assembly assisted in the evolution and definition of the industrial/ebm genre. rhys fulber has continued as an unprecedented producer with his contributions to other noteworthy defining procedures such as noise unit and delerium and forging forward in the contemporary realm inside youth code and the more accessible conjure one project.

for their 12th release, fasaan recordings has dug deep into the techno underground of malm and found the drum machine anthems of frankie twilight. not your usual techno producer, the woman behind this alan vega-esque alias does not subscribe to any genre definitions. having played in a berlin-based punk band as well as acting as resident dj at a members only 78 rpm jazz club, to say her tastes are diverse is quite an understatement. the diy spirit is however a red thread throughout the 4 tracks of her synergy ep for fasaan

gatefold double coloured vinyl lp version. this is the debut album by producer rodden von ast, the man from mecklenburg vorpommern. von ast isn t new to the business. his last two releases and his own imprint sumpfsee records putting him right into the spotlight. on the altkamp album the busy producer finds time to entertain you with eight stellar tracks on the vinyl version, which come across as well-structured little stories, drowning the dancefloor. all in all sounds that are unmistakably in the family of or are related to the enchanted moments we know from kalkbrenner but as well as techno moments. the opener �altkamp- is a restlessly inventive bricolage of unconventional sounds and textures. -bettfett- is a masterclass in crisp, high-definition techno, as christal synths, a solid kick, and an insistent bass stab form a deeply hypnotic groove. -gedeih and verderb- with mate herr maarec draws on spacious arrangements of dub techno elements, burnished with snickering percussive repetition and scything synths. �unser klonet - is a spacey burner that builds into an indisputable festival-rocker, complete with punchy claps, descending bass-line.

planet mu are very excited to announce jlin�s long awaited second album �black origami�. a percussion-led tour de force, it�s a creation that seals her reputation as a unique producer with an exceptional ability to make riveting rhythmic music.
�black origami� is driven by a deep creative thirst which she describes as �this driving feeling that i wanted to do something different, something that challenged me to my core. black origami for me, comes from letting go creatively, creating with no boundaries. the simple definition of origami is the art of folding and constructing paper into a beautiful, yet complex design. composing music for me is like origami, only i m replacing paper with sound. i chose to title the album -black origami- because like -dark energy- i still create from the beauty of darkness and blackness. the willingness to go into the hardest places within myself to create for me means that i can touch the infinity.�

in 2017, the finnish jazz scene seems to bubble with talent. one of the most prominent players in this mix is by definition, trumpeter jukka eskola. after over a decade of adventures in different spaces of jazz � from the dance floor burn of the five corners quintet to the raw expressive modes of mikko innanen�s small big band, jimi tenor�s cosmic jazz and his own prime cti styled solo recordings � eskola takes things back to bare basics. and as usual, when it�s done right, it�s the best thing out there.

�the future is there�looking back at us. trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become� - william gibson
future déjà vu is a berlin based techno label. behind such paradoxical definition of time lies an elementary objective: the promotion of a functional sound, able to be immediately usable on a techno-floor. the immediacy of the sound becomes in turn paradox itself and its planes turns into power.

few artists have the ability to totally seduce over a few spins like herva. what may seem messy at first listen starts to fall into sharper definition and �hyper flux� makes a very strong case for being his most seductive and mature record yet.

bevor dieses jahr die festival saison begonnen hat bin ich in berlin ins studio gegangen und habe einige tracks für meine sets aufgenommen. zwei stücke davon spiele ich immer und immer wieder, sie wurden zum soundtrack für diesen sommer. sie sind hypnotisch und freaky genauso wie meine dj-sets. bei der produktion der beiden stücke habe ich einige von meinen lieblingsinstrumenten verwendet, die 303, die 909 und den minimoog, um düstere, verzerrte vocals, seltsame beats und pure, drastischer emotion zu erzeugen. die platte ist meine definition des allien sounds. ellen allien, september 2016

nice price deal !!! it s been a big shock for all of us to hear the sad news that our good friend andreas gehm passed away this year. his last big project is the -worldwide electronics- - series on his own label -cologne underground- which brings his friends from all over the world together. the idea of �worldwide electronics� is to combine music from all over the world on one album (in fact, there will be a vol.2 too). the second idea was to combine well known artist with newcomer. when gehm, who runs cologne underground together with dbh distribution, ask the artist for tracks, he don�t ask for any specific style. the artist were free to deliver whatever they want. so at the end it ended up from deep house (oldschool definition, not edm definition) to acid. �worldwide electronics vol.1� contains one track from greece (dimdj), germany (hardfloor), netherlands (baz reznik), england (perseus traxx), columbia(s.valencia) 2 tracks from japan (takeshi kouzuki and jin-cromanyon) and the first of hopefully a row of collaboration tracks from legowelt (netherlands) and elec pt.1 (germany) as �gehm & wolfers).

crossing returns with cracking and dreamy techno from pfirter, avion, doka and stefan rein. the label from avion strikes with its 7th installment releasing a package of 4 new techno slices from different producers showing what crossing stands for. the release starts with �sut� a track from the argentinian producer pfirter which creates an outer atmosphere with its pad, surrounding percussions and space running frequencies carried by this straight deep bass drum. a beauty. avion doesn�t take any captives and kicks the floor with a never ending trip of industrial percussions, noises, a heavy drum and a groove that will grab and never leave you. an explosive killer. for doka time is running in a different way. his �mural� comes with a melancholic bassline and rhythmic drum work to bring this imaginery painting from the wall into notes. surreal but true techno. stefan rein is closing the release with a bang. the �amorphous material� will never get tired and brings with metallic snares, hats and rides a kick�in weapon which includes a synth pad that will give you a smile in every moment you hear it. a clear definition of techno and its madness.

ben gomori s monologues records brings two of its most popular releases to vinyl after a long wait. laurence guy s les mur ep signalled the start of a great run for the london producer, with releases following on church, dirt crew recordings and fort romeau s cin cin. the title track is a graceful, deep piano roller, while sunlite goes into chuggier, synthier territory.

oisel presents dimensione astrale, a release that gives an important definition to his musical identity. the spatial sounds are the main feature of the tracks, in fact the artist tried to create an ambient similar to an abstracted dimension, in which the mind can get lost. the final result is a repetitive mental flow of some distant galaxy traped in wax.

midgar welcomes the bordeaux based von grall delivering four dense, immersive cuts. first of the list, *a secant line*, is an acidic and powerful mantra, opening the gates of sonic virtuality. in the second track, *the slope*, fast paced rhythmics and cold ambiances bring some severity to the record. on the bside, the melodic and slightly dreamy excursion *apply the definition*, while *limit value* close the record with a solemn concoction of offbeats drums and mechanic nightbirds.

heated heads delves into another dark corner of the american experiment, this time via the lone star state. graig clouse s shit & shine project has been a mainstay of the underground for well over a decade, having released unique sides for legendary labels like rhode island s load, riot season, gangsigns, powell s diagonal imprint, rocket recordings, conspiracy outta belgium and the inimitable editions mego, to name but a few. for this 12-, $&$ has invoked the ghosts of cb radio via the us trucking fraternity - 4 cut n shut jams that defy regular definition. backed so far by the likes ron morelli (l.i.e.s), the trilogy tapes, bill converse, jon k, nina (golden pudel), shapednoise

released on damian lazarus highly acclaimed crosstown rebels imprint valor tells a deeply personal narrative for chilean born and berlin based producer/dj dinky, her sixth album acts as a pinnacle to her steadfast and illustrious career and brought on a momentous change to her personal journey. esteemed for her work on labels such as cocoon, ostgut ton traum, wagon repair, horizontal and visionquest, and dj residency at berlins infamous panorama bar for over a decade, dinky aka alejandra iglesias is a trained classical guitarist, singer and keyboard player. her voice is an anchor to valor, its crisp definition loaded with intensity. tracks such as the driving single casa called out by us giants npr for its gorgeously layered vocals and the fragile layers of guitar and synths on cuts like milk make bold unions between sublime house and techno electronics and dinkys live instrumentation

electroacoustic experiments and filmic elements define the music that develops instinctively yet irrevocably, a sense of forward motion setting them apart. compositionally minimal, these tracks maximize their inherent potential all the way through to their logical and even illogical end. referencing electronica, ambient, shoegaze and at times modern classical harmonics, monochord builds and unbuilds in a slow heartbeat. introspective and filmic, its quiet and non-confrontational nature makes monochord move in the interzone between various spheres. their music escapes definition and that is its truest definition. its subtle pulse and evocative and drony feel invite and inspire.
