star shepherd presents 11 songs of ambient! supported by legowelt

hailing from nashville, tennessee - a city better known for being the cradle of country music, jaundice and dzee form the backbone to the future dz duo, which has way less to do with johnny cash than with the hague sound, and their latest offering for the label they help co-run, tram planet records, although tracing rings of fire in its wake, further ratifies that lineage.
a shape-shifting collection of post-apocalyptic detroit electro and squelchy acid grooves sieved through filthy filters - perfect to play in your muscle car while speeding the highway at night, splint mask finds the duo at their most epic and unhindered. premiering today through our channels, sawed off is a high-octane 303 fuelled racer blazing with a hint of unit moebius weirdness and off-the-cuff rugged hardware spritz. if you like your electro scruffy, grinding and aggro like we do, future dz have you covered. get in the zone and feel the burn, you’re in for a treat.

“temple of noize” is released as a limited edition cassette and digital download. the soundscape, formed over 11 tracks features harsh electronic noise coupled with lush granular synthesis and classical compositional techniques. fabio martinelli, hailing from ferarra in italy’s emilia-romagna region has created a piece that flows seamlessly in and out of sleepy melodies and broken drones.

"soundboy a-go dead tonight! skrsintl crew load up their dub boxes deep and deliver a wide-ranging, rapid-fire display of their unique vision for musical murderation. pulling the best from their clashes and world travels they weave together a bewildering barrage inna dance leaving a soundboy downright dazed and dusted. and yet within this deadly encounter, there is deliverance when the smoke settles, unscathed, only life remains sekkle urself in this infinity; tune can’t run out."

acid hologram is a record that travels between past, present and future. it is a real mix of different stiles, this makes it difficult to define as a genre. analogue incursions typical of acid and electro fuse with the melodic immediacy of trance, cohabit with cruel drum breaks and crazy idm interventions, creating a scenario composed of different styles and nuances, bizarre as well as emotional, enveloped by an idea of euphoria typical of the underground music of the early 90s, that allowed us to rediscover a personal sound, without compromise. produced between the end of 2013 and 2017, it was published as a limited edition and the first cassette release by weme records, the idea of the format justifies the need to publish such a high number of tracks, on an alternative medium that is able to reflect the identity of an equally unconventional sound. the tracklist titles reveal visual suggestions that recall the years of the rave scene of the early 90s and the cyberpunk imaginary in which the author grew up

this is essential tremor’s second and final album of all time. the band broke up after the recording of this record but still managed to play one final show before fully breaking up. the show was one of the most brutal things nashville, tn has ever witnessed and lead singer cole k was banished from nashville forever following the performance. essential tremor’s work never quite fit in with the rest of what was occurring in nashville around the time these tracks were recorded, but we re sure that this tape will fit right in with the rest of your collection.

filled with unique nuances and creative vocal sampling, knee rattling base and a sprinkle of synthesisers which hum and snap, enter requite the latest offering from tape throb puppeteer and master of distortion the cyclist. progress through tracks which dip their rhythmic toes into techno, no wave and psychedelia, bridged across the divide by the artistic tropes of a musician who knows both his stamp and his reach. dissimilar and yet united, material and yet transient, requite is a favour returned from an adherence to the andrew morrison project, a response for the love which bent brass and set bones in motion. a flourish, now for the attentive requite

limbo is the debut album by noch.
a collection of bumping, clicking, winding, loops that dip into noise, ambient, and acid. written during jam sessions with friends and worked on at dusk on a stony beach in headphones, each track is based around a simple loop, sometimes left on repeat to wander in meditation, sometimes building complexity in repetition.

baltra has been plying his trade for a few years now, dealing in a distinctly retro brand of house music that could easily pass for a forgotten chicago cut were it not for subtle touches of advanced production tucked away in the mix. on this single for tape throb, the warbling synth tones of up 2 you sound like a perfect fit for the label, while twist of fate smooths things out a more melancholic mood atop a classic jack beat. feds watching strains under a cloud of grit that adds to the backwards glancing vibe of the record, while dis aura opts for a marginally more modern approach spelt out by the plush polysynth tones that pulse throughout.

first chapter of cassette beat tape series most blunted is a debut from warsaw-based producer and live performer bass jan other (privately an acclaimed visual artist, illustrator and graphic designer jan estrada-osmycki). stylistically, washed by waves varies from dub techno jams to syncopated, jazz-funk-oriented beats with lots of pads, space and random events. technically, the album consists of layers of sculpted synthetic sounds made using a teenage engineering op-1, a yamaha dx7 and digital production. produced in limited run of 100 purple cassettes with risography artwork designed by author himself. each item includes a free digital download code.

for its fourth release under its main series, quanta records welcomes panorama island, zwei kreise’s new album, mixing ambient, idm and sonic experimentations. with panorama island, zwei kreise delivers one of his most accomplished work so far, inspired by memory and more precisely its flaws: hidden corners, lost knowledge or elliptic recollections.
melancholic ambient tracks and deconstructed breaks come one after the other and set the mood of the person who dives in. melodies play a very important role in these introspections: meticulously planned, sharp or languishing, they guide the listener through his wandering. in this record, zwei kreise shows his obsession for detail and micro-variations under a new light, more ethereal and contemplative, renewing our perceptions with every listening.

ltd tape / cassette ... raw and dark

there are depths in humanity which one cannot explore, as there are mephitic caverns into which one dare not penetrate. madness in any direction, at any hour. the anatomy of human destructiveness, a hole like a sewage drain for the fine clear coat of civilisation, a place where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools. if there is such a dark moloch which deviously knots a thread within us, with which to hold us and draw us down an eerie and delirious path that we would never otherwise have set foot on, then d. carbone’s mephistophelian alter ego honzo pulls us with his 4th installment “distopia - un mondo indesiderabile” right into its gaping abyss, leading us there where we would have never consented to go.
panic. it creeps up the spine like the rst rising vibes of an acid frenzy. the haunting chill upon your neck. there is a sound intensity makes while echoing through the body, the epinephrine pumping through the jugular vein, voices from unknown origin, the blood throbbing through the numb extremities, heart palpitations, the flashing visions, cold sweat, the heavy breathing, hyperventilation, dissociation, fight-or-flight. honzo gives us a vision of what it means to truly be in a world of terror and angst and in the secret bloodlit dark behind our eyes we enjoy the cathartic abreaction this brings us.

what is amateur space jazz? one could call it a lo-fi minimal wavish version of cosmic space jazz and anything closely related to it...from spiritual soul, g-funk, ethiopian jazz to ambient and everything in between...no knowledge of musical theory is required...played with a d.i.y punk approach on crappy digital synthesizers - preferably with dubious renditions of real instruments. warmed up to the right temperature with some offbeat effectsbox. multitracking is a technique widely used...to create a one person band with all its members oneselfs multidimensional copies in time........comes with a 24 page graphic novel written and drawn by danny wolfers himself and a nightwind amateur space jazz gummy domed sticker.......lets enter world of amateur space jazz!!!

having lurked in the tape scene for many moons, al-90 brings his dishevelled house sound to the dancefloor with this single for tape throb. despite the name of the label, this is in fact destined for vinyl, and leads with the fuzzy yet funky cheremushki groove, assisted in the process by monokle. there s a whiff of gerry read s dusty production values present on fluid, but al-90 seems locked into a more discernible beat. that changes on cataract with its degraded hardcore breaks drowning under a sea of unforgiving processing, while tape throb label boss the cyclist is an appropriate choice of remixer to finish the record with a crunchy yet focused version of cheremushki groove

live from concrete island is the debut album from brighton based producer stephen maskell, aka the nags head. taking material from the last four years, he s created a head-spinning tapestry of melodic techno and crushed cityscapes. like echospace, maskells destroyed visions nail the feeling of being a stranger in a strange land. for the city s lolloping, dubby percussion we reach deep into its guts, pulling out a squiggly bricolage of pistons, pool balls, window frames, jets of steam. in turns rasping and narcotic, concrete island s beatless sections are akin to the crunching menace of early clark, or murcofs cosmic space treatments. an occasional shimmer guitar pop gem emerges from the rubble.

music made for resonating spaces. - 50 copies only

after seven years legowelt s smackos alias returns with a vampire goes west ....an all out amateur spacejazz spiritual ambient eruption on smudgey cassettetape. in library grey jewel case, comes with multifunctional self adhesive dome refrigerator magnet

if we put armando, gene hunt and steve pointdexter together in a room with a few synthesizers, some rhythm boxes, a roland 606 and a few cans of beer, what we would get is shrimp traxx. this very young, practically unknown austrian artist has just made his recording debut on bons records with five tracks that range in style from classic to trippy, psychotic acid house. these five jam sessions, made 100% using hardware, are now appearing on the catalan label. after an ep with a markedly 90s house sound, bons records is now turning towards more ghetto vibes with a record to be spun and danced to exclusively in a house club. this is not warm-up stuff!

aphex twin aka richard d. james meldet sich mit der fantastischen -cheetah ep- zurück, auf der er mit deepem und melodischem techno und acid im früh-90er-style überrascht. benannt ist die ep nach dem synthesizer cheetah ms800, eines der am schwierigsten zu programmierenden instrumente der welt, mit dem richard die meisten dieser tracks aufnahm. das artwork ist ebenfalls im 90er-retro-style gehalten. cd und tape enthalten einen weiteren bonustrack, der dem vinyl per download-code ebenfalls beigefügt ist.

13 summer cruising tracks very much in the style of legowelts ppu release from last year. gold plated cassette in faux plastic luxurious case.

the second tape on legowelt s nightwind records cassette series. through his remote viewing powers danny wolfers channeled the music of saab knutson of faroe islands circa 1993. 60 minutes of nordic ambient with a disturbing undertone of dark melancholia with vague notions of distant happiness. saab knutson is a man with many issues, but on the faroe islands there is no time for issues. to stay of sound mind, saab plays his synthesizers in the few spare hours he manages to find, unmistakenly influenced by faroe s spellbinding landscapes and grim climate. though danny has never been to the islands he has a definite puzzling calling to them, a luring force, so to speak. hopefully he will sell enough saab knutson albums so he can fund an expedition and find out more about this mysterious destiny... played on yamaha dx100, roland jx3p, alpha juno 2, emu 16 bit digital sampling keyboard. ruby metallic cassette tape in luxurious faux plastic case

the second release from spazio records is a transatlantic affair. made by the dynamic duo zopelar from sao paulo in brazil and sumorai from the southern part of sweden. the tracks are the fruits from jams made behind hotel walls in tokyo. deep, raw and sticky-icky.

fourth in the nightwind records cassettetape series. dozing rhodes jazz and spellbinding synthesizer trips. comes in the usual luxurious vintage c64/zxspectrum style microvhs video game box . also includes free professional dome sticker and -nomad ninja- microzine/map. the cosiest drugged up christmas album for this winter!

with a quiet intensity over the last 12 years, strategy has proven himself to be an incredibly resourceful and rewarding musician in both group settings and as a solo artist. in the latter guise, this portland producer/multi-instrumentalist (aka paul dickow) has released a prolific amount of excellent work for quality indie labels such as kranky, idle hands, 100% silk, endless flight, and entracte, putting a cerebral yet sensual spin on dub, ambient, post rock, and house music.
the vinyl lp includes a download code.

weightausands music is born out of the crash between expectations and daily praxis. a dub-infused, non linear array of data in which memories, obsessions, in the shape of sound pieces borrowed from friends and collected from the most various sound sources (even cannibalizing dance music power cliches such as the amen break), are arranged to enter a psychic cage system set to take advantage of their raging power. the resulting tracks sound like jungle rave hits echoing from outside time. side b contains a doomy aquarian remix of by morkeblå, and a remix by concrete cave inhabitant heith of an unreleased track, produced with no previous listening of the original.

as a man well versed in the moves of the old-school, fabio monesi launches his albion imprint with the immaculately executed styles of 623, full of sexy 90s synth notes and crisp, pumping beats. washerman brings a more rugged style on his remix of the tune, dropping in some cheeky and thoroughly familiar samples, while the melody wobbles around an amorphous scale. the peephouse finds monesi reaching back to the soothing organ tones of the dx7, with a gentle and piano-driven throw down that stills carries plenty of heft for the floor. rio padice steps up for another remix of 623 and spreads a strange and nervous shape-shifter of a late-night jam, scattering the vocals like confetti and nudging the drums out of joint on a whim.
