mit test-file erscheint auf ostgut ton eine doppel-ep mit sechs neuen stücken des berghain- residents der ersten stunde. für sich genommen weisen die stücke klaren sessioncharakter auf und folgen einer intuitiven herangehensweise für möglichst freien einsatz zwischen club und kopfhörer. „test-file“, „torch“ und „error (1st take)“ sind auf linie mit dem für dettmann markanten minimalismus, eher beat-experimente – hier mit pulsierenden synths, dort mit stärkeren effekten, breakiger und röhrender anmutung und bei letzterem mit betonung des sessioncharakters im titel, blubbern und gluckern bei 132 bpm. die zweite einheit stellen „ascending“ und „metalloid“ dar: eine gewisse kälte, härte, geräuschhaftig- und grobkörnigkeit, dennoch songcharakter wahrend. am markantesten ist das eingängige “autumn77”, das neben groovendem, funky house-beat und warmen harmonien schon über titel und vocal dettmanns ganzes referenzsystem absteckt.

the binary operator is coming to you via central electronics. 5 tracks full of electro power for mind, body and soul.

* to celebrate the second anniversary of khemia records we are pleased to welcome back in aeternam vale, the legendary french artist who inaugurated the imprint on a split ep with bronze teeth in march 2016. * this is the first single-artist ep produced by the label, initiating a new series that will run parallel to the v/a editions. * the tracks ‘dave’ and ‘circles’ form an elliptical conundrum composed of various references including kubrick’s alchemical allegory 2001 a space odyssey, (sampled in french) with it’s existential narrative of a schizophrenic artificial intelligence lurking in the shadows. the deus ex machina wondering if mankind is still useful to machines, or perhaps even dangerous to them? the infamous seveso chemical disaster at the pharmaceutical laboratory icmesa caused by human error, the glowing blood-red sphere of hal 9000, the all-seeing eye of the sentient super-computer and the circular composition of the toxic compound 2.3,7.8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (tcdd), released into the atmosphere at seveso. with this cryptic feedback loop, laurent prot is suggesting that the new technologies we are developing now, for use in our near future could result in catastrophe when human control is lost to the self-learning of ai. the homicidal consequences of a machine take-over find visual form in the bleak, dystopian aesthetic of evelyn bencicova’s cover artwork.

pionneering production from the düsseldorf mid 80s electronic underground world. transferred for the first ever time from the original cassette to vinyl. konrad kraft (detlef funder) is one of the still overlooked producers of düsseldorfs fertile electronic music scene. arctica was originally released on cassette on funders imprint sdv tontrager in 1987 in a handmade edition of about 50 copies only.

lybes dimem is a project by visual artist and musician lukas rehm. with elaborate beat structures and the use of error, the music plays with cognitive phenomena and abstraction while maintaining an emotional refuge. lybes dimem is presented in formats ranging from spatial sound experiences to synesthetic shows complementing the auditive layers with visualizations of realtime data, computer graphics and moving image. lukas rehms installative art, and compositions have been internationally presented and awarded with multiple emerging arts prices. syncleft chronem is the first album released by lybes dimem in both digital and vinyl for-mat and accompanied by a moving image artwork. the title reflects the projects interest in the potential of difference, cognitive frictions and exertion: sync variability in the processing of auditive and visual signals, syncleft the synaptic cleft, which is a crucial empty spa- ce in biological neural networks, chronem the chroneme as a theoretical unit to measure the time of an articulated sound. mathematically clean sounds juxtapose patterns and transitions familiar from the realm of organic acoustics. multi-layered noise textures ex- plore the simulated space. a tem- porary continuity is provided by percussive and melodic elements, right until the next escalation, eventually awaiting a concluding resolution. the visual language explores different phenomena and techniques of cognition inspired by the rhetorics of big science (computer graphics, discontinuity of material, pop cultural references).

dj koyote and too smooth christ team up to release on some party tunes, a 3-track ep of collaborative and spontaneous jams. willing to produce coupe-decale-inspired tracks with old analogue gear, they crafted at the end an hybrid sound mixture, somewhere between south african house, grime and uk funky. on error : does not computer, a tr606 meets swirling arpeggios spiced with crystal riffs. a sneaky bass line provides an even more swaying groove to the track. on strike (on-a-string mix), a straight-out-of-pretoria riff meets a strong and conquering string stab on top of a really dry and thumping beat. modern action is the most introspective track of the ep, with an m1 pattern flipped upside-down and hazy cymbals rythms.

advanced and fresh takes on techno by milton bradley and lockertmatik. both opening with a droning soundscape followed by essential techno cuts. open your mind!

another va from luke eargoggles stilleben records that keeps on releasing the purest electronic music. jensen interceptor and obergman are two familiar names in the electro game but on this 12- hiltipop and t-error will also show their vision and style.. and it is reckless!!

outstanding upfront drum & bass & developed industrial techno derived steppers - highly recommended!

solipsism heads into new territory with this deeply hypnotic four track ep of dubbed out downtempo techno and fuzzy electro. hypnagogo ep has had support from soma records (scotland) joe muggs (mixmag, the guardian), indie rock magazine (france), is this music magazine (scotland), regal radio (scotland), relaxed machinery (australia) & many others.comparisons have been drawn with artists as diverse beaumont hannant, boards of canada and deepchord.

inspired by the early industrial pioneers, dead crooners and the unrelenting speed of change, uncanny valley combine homemade metallic resonators, pound-shop contact mics and sellotape synthesisers, with human error for unusual effect. remixes come from the fantastic manfredas and mondowski.

the pieces were created as structured improvisations using a monophonic synth (primarily) along with a yamaha dx7 (borrowed from a friend) and possibly a guitar. recording was made on an older otari mx5050 1/2 8 track. mixing was done on a tascam m-50 console and a revox a77 1/4 machine. i recall the project happened in two bursts: i did half of it in september 85, then i finished up and edited the album together in december 85. i dont really recall making copies for anyone. i think i played it for a dozen people and that was it. just forgot about it. i remember jeff ament from pearl jam (green river back then) came by while i had it playing on my home stereo. he asked what it was and said he liked it. surprised me a little. with regard to overall aesthetic: i like the sound of machinery, but i enjoy the fragility of human error and human instinct. i like to put things into motion then climb aboard and drive. i can’t play an instrument (in the classical sense) for the life of me, so i’ve always just played things that are mostly choice rather than a convolution of style and technique. i guess you call that the brian eno school of rock.

the sound is short and dry, like a fist colliding with leather or other flesh, but the repetition and reverberation transcend such violence and lead the listener to a heightened state by the time the parade is cancelled. a point of consideration. stick around because at least a few folks will still march and it could be a gorgeously lonely thing to witness

stephen laubner never fails to deliver the goods, whether on his own label something or elsewhere. having recently popped up on the untold stories, this time around hes dropping his uniquely crusty compositions on synthetic gold. after a quietly disconcerting ambient opening, the leftfield grind of the taphead pushes an uncompromising agenda of ragged bass and an unrelenting groove. october sunrise by way of contrast is a more intimate, sweet natured affair. syntax error too taps into the softer side of laubner s craft in a most mesmerizing of ways, but for the die hard fans fear not, there s also plenty of locked groove loops included to keep you tripping into infinity.

dmx krew returns for volume 4 of the popular synth funk series with another bumper pack of electro funk jams. pure fire!!!

ince his beginnings, russian genre-mangler oleg buyanov aka ol has been burrowing his way through various audio-scopes and scenes, dispensing his unparalleled blend of raw house and instrumental hip-hop flavours on a variety of labels including beat-focused error broadcast, faces records and more recently, fabio monesi’s wilson. following on from his ‘scape border ep‘ released on the london label two years ago, the muscovite producer returns on meda fury with ‘jungle tv‘, a twisted six-tracker fusing classic broken-beat and deep, uncluttered dubby distortions

diese schallplatte schafft neue möglichkeiten, plattenspieler zu überprüfen und einzustellen. die meisten tests (außer frequenzgang) können auch ohne mess- instrumente, also nur mit dem gehör durchgeführt werden und eignen sich daher besonders für den ambitionierten musikhörer, der wissen will, wie gut seine anlage unter realistischen bedingungen mit anspruchsvollen signalen zurecht kommt und ob bedarf für reparaturen oder verbesserungen besteht.

this record createsnew possibilities of inspecting and adjusting record players. most tests (except for frequency response) can also be carried out without measuring instruments, just by listening, and are therefor particularly well-suited for the ambitious music listener who wants to know how well his system deals with demanding signals under realistic conditions, and wether there is a need for repairs or improvements.

astray is the sublabel of away, berlin. away, berlin’s party series and the eponymous vinyl label celebrate the launch of its sublabel astray with the road force ep by discrete circuit. while away with previous contributions from joe claussell, mr. ties, and move d leans more to the housier side of things, astray will take a different path by taking some darker, techno-centered steps. following the idea only to release productions by both label founders, discrete circuit and h4l, as well as unique collaborations which either of them will form with outside artists, astrays second ep will premiere the joint studio work of discrete circuit and dj/producer blind observatory.

first full-length in seventeen years from chain reaction /force inc. legends.

mannella brings a rousing 12’’ ep, enclosing a sunil sharpe’s remix done with the forthright purpose of make you go ape. the original mix of “nibiru road” is a ever-changing techno story, told by a steady groove and such a badass kick-drum. a vitalizing ebb & flow of that rubbery synth and that melodic, a bit saturnine pad, that let you fly to the next planet. “fourth dimension” has been recorded from one of the live performance that mannella is doing under dahraxt alias. the hypnotic bubbly atmosphere created around that chopped pad, delivers this track to another dimension of delight, giving it a unexpected slant. sunil sharpe doesn’t need introduction, since his multiple releases on imprints such “trensmat”, “labrynth”, “mord”, “mindcut”, “inner surface”, “works the long night” , “black sun records” or his own “on the hoof” to name a few, have made him the well appreciated artist that today he’s. with this rework he confirms how much enthralling his charisma is. jts004 “it can only be attributable to human error.” cit.

“reflecting visons of possible realities emphasize that space is only noise if you can see that life without music is an error.”
from long floating techno noise layers to cyborg elektro, displaying once more that old fashioned genre settings will not apply to subsonic releases.

minimalistic art sublabel, 0000, kicks things off with scribble acid, an ep from man at the top, brayan valenzuela. title track scribble acid is a mixture of acid sounds and saturated kicks combined to create an industrial techno line. 0000 differs, highlighting the simpler sound of acid. error makes use of metallic percussion to devastating effect but is lined with pauses in all the right places to allow you to breathe.

channeling a love affair with classic 90 s hip hop, an affinity for otherworldly themes and an ear for raw funk, barclay crenshaw uses his given birth name to bare his soul and deliver a slowed-down, emotive collectiob of collaborations and instrumentals. this self-titled debut album is a left-field deperature from his better known allias, claude von stroke, but the quality is undeniably the same. the themes of alien abductions and exploring of time and space are discovered and brough to life over ten tracks that sound like a mixture of gold rope chains and new age enlightenment. modern organic beats mixed with gorgeous melodic movements and underlying grittiness create an experience that is eclectic, expressive, and expansive. coded art furthers the sense of mystery and the unkown. harking back to the past while gazing into the future.

after an italian-artists-only policy in 2016, un.t.o. goes international with its 6th release presenting the amsterdam-based producer jack roland. this one cuts a line between rough and ready electro and cutting edge techno.

no problemo is jonny teardrops first physical album release. inspired by native american peyote songs, using his jaguar as a bass, drum samples from obscure japanese crust punk songs, jonny teardrop charges through 13 brief songs snapping audible polaroids and conjuring fragments of memories. a short movie made of 13 scenes, written by himself and directed by louis vignat will be presented alongside the album. the 13 videos will be your introduction to jonnys weird and complex universe, a door that wont be easily closed once opened.180g vinyl with a secret locked groove giving access to a free downloadable ep

abstraxion returns to his own biologic records to release this impressive revisited album - giving tuff city kids, kasper bjørke, vessels, clarian, conforce, mattheis, ripperton, init, eduardo de la calle, cleveland the freedom to have their own take on tracks from abstraxion’s ‘she thought she would last forever’ lp released in october 2016. ripperton’s first mark on spazieren is one of meticulous sound design and textures complemented by a poignant vocal that provides a wicked ambience. his second offering is rapt around a warm bassline with orderly percussive stabs. init’s remix has been crafted with precision - an unhurried and mysterious track that builds and anticipates smoothly due to the precise instrumentation and adept reverb that’s been applied on the vocal. conforce closes out the ep with intent by delivering a dark, forceful and abstract take on spazieren. pr report : dj feedbacks : supported by : barnt, mano le tough, jennifer cardini, joris voorn…

roman flügel: i think the first 5 tracks of the album are simply fantastic
