so what is after the void ... we bang the bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenades, obvious really! having been away for some time it appears that a light sounds dark spring is in the air. en route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants danger electrified tracks out this summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, its full steam ahead and proper european dance music time. not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like maltas very own ian dury by the name of iain richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic italo covers of big in japan, gloria, a wonderful new wave version of falcos euro smash der kommissar and the thoughts massive german hit wait a long time sounding like some long lost talk talk record. light sounds dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems axodrys you and colme 111s you take me high (early euro take on chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky theres some groovy goings on from kraut funksters epsilon urging people to leave the city which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.

leskin, massimo di lena, joseph russel and rio padice (aka the early sound collective) deliver four outstanding deep & raw house/techno cuts. of course, shitloads of records come out these days that fit the deep & raw house description, but this stuff just goes beyond. without falling back into cliche, their characteristic use of analog equipment takes you right back into the early days of hypnotic, raw & soulful machine music competing with the detroit/chicago cats from back in the day.

originally recorded for chris blackwell of island records the rights of ‘life of contradiction’ were then given to joe higgs who released the album in jamaica and the u.k. in 1975. it was immediately obvious that this was a unique collection coming from a completely different direction to the other reggae releases of the period. although joe had first recorded some of the songs in the early sixties for studio one it was as if he was at last able to realise a vision of his own music that had previously been denied to him: either by financial constraints or from not having the right situation with the right musicians.

limited 2011 repress, coloured vinyl
the first release on sighas own our circula sound imprint sees the hotflush artist shrug off the dubstep tag altogether with a 12 inch of dark dubbed out techno. marcel dettmanns remix of sighas own >early morning lights< sits on the a side. taking things deeper than one would typically expect, dettmann marries his own sound palette with that of the original perfectly. clocking in around the 130bpm mark, its mutating broken rhythms and throbbing bottom end will appeal to more adventurous dubstep heads as well as the techno purists. sighas eyes down old school tinged >over the edge< sits on the b side. clicks, claps and 909 hats roll over a layer of shifting dubbed out soundscapes and booming square bass.

vorabsingle zum 2010er-soloalbum des neuseel?ndischen musikers.
als s?nger der bats und bassist von the clean z?hlte robert scott zu den protagonisten der einst legend?ren indie-szene neuseelands. so ?berrascht es kaum, dass er f?r soloaktivit?ten stets wenig zeit fand, obwohl er flei?ig songs schrieb. einige von denen erscheinen 2010 auf einem soloalbum, die single pr?sentiert zwei lieder als vorgeschmack. >too early< ist ein eing?ngiger, kurzer und verzerrter popknaller, >the moon upstairs< eine hommage an das songwriting der 60er-jahre mit leicht psychedelischen gitarrenarrangements. das artwork des siebdruckcovers der single stammt von der berliner illustratorin julia guther.

wild pitch style oldschool house.

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard … and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling.

respected uk remixer and house producer charles webster rips into one of the most played tracks from dennis ferrers hailed album the world as i see it. how do i let go started out as a soulful r&b tune but charles turned it inside out. on his club mix, charles removes the soulfulness and injects a more electric lounge flavor. his deep mix is just that, a profound pumpy, warped & heady affair. both mixes put a whole new twist on the single and are ripe for the early or late set.

>after his very well acclaimed debut on orphanear with >jujuy&salta< and his impelling and chartbreaking remix for tocotronics latest 12 >imitationen<, pawel is back with >gabriel< on orphanear. both tracks have it in oneself to provide the autumn soundtrack for deep and dark house loving clubs all over the globe. the a-side with >gabriel< mixes classic house-strings with some xylophone and bell-sounds rather known from hamburgs scene around dial and smallville records. these elements built up in beautiful layers to culminate in a furious rather ironic break. the b-side with >early bird< begins with an airy beat that brings pawels 2004 vocalhouse lover >grab it< back to mind. after the softer intro the track mutates into a synthspiral which home has already been defined by pawels 12 >ceramic<. some abandoned industrial city in the north of the united states. a timeless record.<
