passafire s longshot, the full-length follow up to vines (2013) and the interval ep (2015), finds the band continuing to stretch in new musical directions, while still maintaining a strong core of reggae elements. some songs tread into 90s grunge, hip hop and even current pop, but for hardcore passafire fans, this genre-bending style will come as no surprise for a band that has always pushed itself through experimentation, with a foundation of hummable hooks and vicious musicianship. a guest spot by rapper mr. lif also contributes a new angle on the song -blow. vines debuted at 1 on billboard record chart.

stefano ghittoni and luca ‘dj rocca’ roccatagliati, two renowned names in the vast world of electronic music, unite their minds in an artistic partnership giving life to the nine tracks of “atemporal space tests”, a haunting collection of electronic jazz-funk songs, from mid to downtempo. it’s a fully instrumental record that plays very rhythmic and groovy, built on both analogic and digital sounds, like a floating and psychedelic soundtrack to a modern science fiction movie.

inspiriert von der musik von fela kuti und seinem africa 70 projekt mit tony allen am schlagzeug, ist -the devil made me do it- reiner downtempo afro beat in seiner ursprünglichen version. der erste remix namens -invisible cosmic echoes- hat ein langsameres tempo und zeichnet sich - wie der titel schon sagt - durch nachhall und raumklang aus, während die -the invisible astral wave version- durch sein beschleunigtes tempo mit schwerpunkt auf dem perkussiven stammes-element perfekt für einen dj-mix geeignet ist.

high-energy, rowdy, raucous, longhair mississippi glam rock. that’s the sound of easy, the week’s long-awaited followup to their breakthrough album, dear bo jackson. recorded at ardent studios in memphis, easy finds the weeks doubling down on a mix of groove, grit, and guitars. it’s swaggering and sharply-focused, shining new light on a band of brothers who, although still in their mid-20s, have already logged a decade’s worth of sweaty gigs together. easy consolidates the band’s strengths, it’s driving and direct, captured in punchy sound by producer paul ebersold. “we called it easy because every time i make music with these guys, it’s easy,” says cain, who has spent more than a third of his life as a member of the weeks. “but the other side of it is, there’s nothing easy about being in a band... we have the easiest job on the planet. but it works for us.”

elephant moon proudly presents russian producer plantae (artyom zlobin).. his love for contemporary electronic music came a little later in life, with early influences coming from the worlds of old rock, jazz, hip-hop and older electronic recordings. he has a deep-seated love for nature, and counts art, design, books and film among his inspirations outside of music. on this ep he channels all his influences into four nuanced cuts, straight from his laboratory to john dimas, the head scientist at elephant moon.

“produzione”, das ursprünglich 1973 auf piero umilianis lp “problemi d oggi” veröffentlicht wurde, ist eine erstaunliche mischung aus akustischer percussion und elektronischen experimenten, die von einigen musikkennern als erstes beispiel für techno/trance angesehen wurden. dieses lied, zusammen mit “attività”, einem weiteren auszug aus “problemi d oggi”, wurde von gerardo frisina überarbeitet-, der den ursprünglichen inhalt geschickt durch die mischung mit modernen elektronischen empfindungen erweitert. das ergebnis, verpackt in einer grafik, die von der ursprünglichen veröffentlichung von 1973 inspiriert wurde, sind zwei tracks, in denen die avantgarde der 70er jahre und die heutige musik mit überraschender leichtigkeit verschmelzen.

lelio luttazzi was a multifaceted artist, a jazz lover (whose favourite pianist was erroll garner) who left his mark as a pianist, musician, conductor and composer. during a career spanning more than 50 years, he established himself as a master of several disciplines such as music, literature and cinema. “i miei stati d’animo” (my feelings) is one of his greatest records, where you’ll find all his irony and wittiness, his versatility and priceless talent. a beautiful easy listening jazz work, completely instrumental and way ahead of the time it was released (1971).
this vinyl release includes the album on cd.

“dramatest” is a collection of experimental library music published in 1974 by fonovideo and signed by oscar rocchi (and his moniker chiarosi) - an excellent pianist and composer, who worked with many italian jazz heavyweights - and fabio fabor. “dramatest” consists of 14 slightly eccentric explorations of the electronic spectrum, casting pure experimentalism, melody and no fillers whatsoever. one of the best examples of the lost art of italian libraries!
this vinyl release includes the album on cd.

it is kind of difficult to imagine tv or radio shows accompanied by tracks like “neutroni”, “mr. mysterious”, “fucina diabolica” or “idillio cosmico”, but in 1973 - the year this gem was released - italian tv was often surprising the audience with innovative shows, likely to host music such as fabor’s compositions. listening again to these 14 short compositions is still an extraordinary experience if we consider their impact and influence on contemporary music and on hip labels of our days like ghost box. along with “pape satan”, this is probably the best fabio fabor ever.

a fantastic obscure record, whose tracks simply anticipate techno and generally electronic music of the early 70s, including kraftwerk’s milestone “autobahn”. the set provides some blending funk tunes driven by experimental electronic music, all with a heavy dramatic feel: the result is an unbelievable, unique and explosive library music lp, a collection of several tv synchronization themes. what we had is stunning drama cop scores and dark electronic moods, all surrounded by loads of fuzzy vibes and all that weird, industrial, futuristic synth fx and so on...
the vinyl release includes a cd-copy of the album.

fonits b 85, part of the legendary serie usignolo, which bears the signatures of the mysterious coscia (perhaps a moniker of accordionist gianni?) and formini, is another cult library music release: an orchestral pop record whose tracks are curiously recommended to accompany viewings of vast parks, footage of agriculture, ads, moving crowds and congested traffic jams, american working-class districts with hilarious titles such as dayda, schizzo, palmas, murlak (which casts an incredible fuzz guitar), bronx and ciresa facaud. in two words: a must!

“la conquista di luna” (the moon’s conquest, 1969) is composer luciano michelini’s masterpiece, one of the rarest and most sought italian lp’s, an imaginary sci-fi soundtrack enriched by the presence of th e legendary singer edda dell’orso on some tracks. drawing its structure from classical and orchestral soundtracks, the album is tinged with prog elements ahead of their time, soft psychede lia and moments of sheer genius: more than 40 years after its first release, it still guarantees a jaw-dropping listening experience.
the vinyl release includes the album on cd.

among all the aliases used by the great piero umiliani, m. zalla is perhaps his most rich and surprisingly multifarious: mainly used to produce experimental records that had little commercial appeal, this ‘nom de plume’ (along with moggi) is tied to memorable episodes of his career, releases such as “problemi d’oggi” (literally “today’s problems”), “mondo inquieto” (i.e. “an unsettling world”), and also “suspense”, now reissued by schema records. the vinyl release includes a cd-copy of the album.

endlich erscheint das lang erwartete neue album der erfolgreichen us-amerikanischen reggae/rock-band rebelution bei easy star records. in den usa füllt die band mittlerweile große hallen, hierzulande gelten sie noch als geheimtipp. nach 12-jähriger bandgeschichte mit über 350.000 unabhängig verkauften alben wirkt das neue album kraftvoller als je zuvor. seit dem release ihres vorgängeralbums -count me in-, welches platz eins der billboard reggae charts und sogar platz 21 der offiziellen us billboard charts belegte, tourte die band um eric rachmany (gesang/gitarre), rory carey (keyboard), wesley finley (schlagzeug) und marley d. williams (bass) unermüdlich über alle kontinente. das album entstand unter mithilfe eines all-star produzententeams, darunter dwayne -supa dups- chin-quee (bruno mars, eminem), sam hollander (train, fitz and the tantrums), yeti beats (los rakas und rebelution vorgängeralben) und donovan -don corleon- bennett (rihanna, sean paul, vybz kartel).

here we see italian brother duo elia and niro perrone, release their debut long player in the shape of ‘pescaiola’ the name of the suburbs the pair grew up and paying homage to their musical roots growing up together. across the duration of the ‘pescaiola’ lp easy to remember serve up a amalgamation of raw and intriguing electronic, house and techno cuts. opener ‘hanckora’ lays down a lo-fi infused hip hop style to kick things off, while ‘checkma dem’ lies in similar territory with the addition of some vocal stylings as well. for the most part though easy to remember lay the focus on emotive house music, title track ‘pescaiola’ plays on multi-layered melodies and retro synths, ‘hijack percussion’ focuses on gritty rhythm and soft atmospherics and ‘try to escape’ brings to light ethereal synth leads and snaking bass grooves. the duo instil some funk influence into the lp as well via ‘feelings’ and some experimental touches as well with their giulio etiope collaboration ‘degolas’ amongst others. all in all easy to remember deliver a refreshing take on modern electronica across the project and further prove unclear is a force to be reckoned with in the underground.

it is the year 2016, and the easy money remix series is even more back than it was last year! the outside agency - in their still ongoing quest to obtain the most speedboats - have sourced yet another batch of remixes from their friends for the highly anticipated follow-up to 2015 s easy money remix ep 2. deathmachine, detest and fracture 4 are the next three artists to deliver their undoubtedly smashing renditions of their favourite tracks by the outside agency. the deathmachine remix is epically epic (and 9 minutes long), the detest remix is lightning fast and the fracture 4 remix is depressingly slow. again, highly recommend by speedboat salesmen everywhere!

the folk group represents a peculiar work within piero umilianis seemingly endless career. recorded for the background music series, it uncovers the maestros passion for folk and 60s/70s music. its especially characterized by the bizarre guitar improvisation and the incredible and funky underworld, a gem that we recommend to any hip-hop producer!

what if we took you back to your untroubled teenage days, when all seemed complicated and easy to reach at the same time? that is exactly what cassius managed to transpose in 15 again: a carefree music, coloured by some deep songs, like an emancipated soul, but always tormented. the hit “toop toop”, sampled by madonna or david guetta, among others, and the intense “la notte” illustrate perfectly this state of mind of the youth. pharrell williams is present on the song “eye water”, a beautiful ode to our planet and its natural resources, and cassius has got further exciting surprises for you. we’re releasing their third album once again for this summer, a real shot of freshness to relieve you from the heat!

limited repress of the first release! played by raresh for six years nervmusic has been the instigator of actions that have brought a circle of techno culture fans together to form an independent movement in moscow s nightlife. all along the way, the members of nervmusic were searching for a unique sound that eventually necessitated becoming a music label. the starting point of the nervmusic label will be karen ep, a release by easy changes (foundsound, stock5), a techno act from moscow and core members of nervmusic since the beginning. with a remix by cabanne (minibar, hello?repeat, perlon), the legendary french techno producer who crafted a special take on the track gneedos. further development of nervmusic will be a contiuous research in avant garde techno sounds. nervmusic aims to infuse the work of new artists with the contributions of legendary producers.

this ep starts with “stitched-, which begins by a rough & anxious introduction with a drone bass and a dissonance pad. then a steamroller sub bass engaged itself into an insane run drived by a brushing arpeggiated synth and sharpened cymbals. college road, the eponym track is a bright energetic trippy techno track influenced by house grooves & sonorities, for club use (not only). the last track bkr is a live construct track with both hardware and software stuff to create a freaky bouncing groove.
