donnacha costello returns with another release for his new label and platform, look long. the tragedy of the commons sees him continuing his mission to create work of lasting quality and beauty. gatsby has that most rare and ephemeral quality, that certain something not easily defined. work which is at once both raw and full of subtlety. something which is at once both instantly familiar and yet inescapably new. fathoms deep pulls the listener in with each rotation until we are so thoroughly hypnotised we cannot but surrender to its insistent, organic pulse. baritoneÆs melancholy lo-fi guitars and roland 606 drums wrap around us like a warm blanket on a cold night. a private oasis, a moment of comfort in a lonely city before the body gives in to sleep. this is no throwaway music. this is music to keep, to live with, to grow with. this is music in which comfort can be sought and solace found

miss kittin & the hacker are right back in action with the first commercially available single from their long awaited (and excellent) second album entitled, suitably enough, >two<. this 12inch comes with a remix by french newcomer maxime dangles. 1000 dreams reflects just one style on an album crammed full of ideas, songs, sounds, influences, hues and textures.first up is >1000 dreams (maxime dangles remix)<. maxime is a (comparatively) fresh-faced newcomer from valence in france, who previously has had some remarkable releases on labels such as colognes kompakt extra (speicher) and scandium records. he strips down the original and imbues it with a thumping melodic club vibe, utilising kittins vocal to devastating effect. nice stuff. very. 1000 dreams<. miss kittin and the hacker sprinkle space dust on a song that sounds like it has been germinated in a mid 70s discotheque, tended with loving care during the 80s and revealed to the world in 2009. a dreamy collision of influences, classic and new. 1000 dreams (instrumental). pretty much self-explanatory, this one. enjoy

how many of todayÆs producers have been releasing music for 13 years? not many. how many will still be recording 13 years from now? hard to say. what can be said without doubt however is that donnacha costello is in this for the long haul. since 1996 he has released dozens of 12&#8243,,,s and made significant contributions to electronic music from 2001Æs classic ambient album together is the new alone to 2004Æs universally acclaimed colorseries to 2006Æs rigorously conceptual 6x6=36 amongst others. shedding the skin of his ten year old minimise label, costello emerges from its semantic stranglehold to bring us his new label and platform look long. from this first release it is clear that costello aims to produce work of lasting quality and beauty with little regard for what a turbulent marketplace might expect of him. complexity and simplicity are addressed in equal measure here and with some surprise we find traces of eric satie, chet baker, pat metheny and steve reich. perhaps unsurprisingly we also find the unmistakable traces of grace and emotion that have become costelloÆs trademarks

ltd backstock !!! label chief and king of nyc late night mythology, francois k returns with a bit of his patented deep space madness. starting with a tempo reminiscent of a 45 played at 33 1/3, a delicate plucked bell-synth bathed in a medium hall reverb leaves ethereal impressions and late night energy. as the melody drops a minor third, another enchanting counter melody joins the mix and adds a rather divine legato styling. after the lead fades out, a percussive interlude full of syncopated noise hits develops: leaving room for a break that reintroduces the main vibe and instills a sense of resolution. the flip carries a remix from quiet village, who has been starting deep space nights with positively solid performances. taking a more club-hyped approach, this rework pounds forward with a massive rumbling kick drum and an underlying noise wash. the main lead gets some serious filter and delay treatment making for a more progressive drive and a versatile dancefloor hook. tweaking things a bit at the break, the melody morphs into a sort of latin-minded groove with portamento glides, edited accents and sharper hits. still keeping the passion and charm alive, the new demise accents francoiss tasteful tune while boasting contemporary excitement

detroit disco is a brand new label which combines detroit techno with some old and recognizable disco arpeggios. this first release on detroit disco is a two track 12 inch with the title track hands up by g. hands up by g is a rocking floor-filler based track on a catchy arpeggio melody that reminds a bit like donna summer. filtering up and down giving you an optimal dj friendly old skool crowd pleaser. on the b side you will find the economist remix which has a more neo techno approach. with some devilish sequencing and filtering this sounds a little like some work the economist did on lessismorecordings 004 with the track too much but that is why we asked him to remix

the long lost consists of husband & wife alfred (a.k.a. electronic daedelus) and laura darlington. in contrast to the avant electronics and hip hop aesthetics of alfreds music as daedelus, the long lost is a union of two songwriters & producers with a penchant for sad sounds and delicate, electro acoustic melodies. psychedelic lullabies for lovers and the lovelorn. as well as sa ra, laura has also sung for flying lotus. a fascinating and utterly individual project, the long lost take the subject of love away from the cliches and hackneyed wailing of the mainstream and reconnect it to those strange and uncontrollable emotions we re all so in thrall...

pryda friends has been dormant for quite some time whilst its owner - eric prydz has been concentrating on his own work. this relaunch hits hard with a carefully selcted track that eric has been caning for quite some time - sebastian leger - the people. the original track has been huge on the club scene for quite some time with its marilyn manson vocal refrain and guitar licks being used to enormous effect. as if that wasnt enough eric prydz has done his own remix on the flipside which surprise, surprise - is an absolute stormer with its vocoding of the main vocal loop and building driving feel. this is yet another winner from the prydz stable.

incl. fernando daxta remix ! apart from chocolate, beers and clouds, belgium has definitely one good thing to offer and that is the high quality, variety and maturity of its electronic music scene. denis moulin and laurent acoustix (malistix) are long time respected players in the area, playing a live set fulfilled by, far beyond hype, pure timeless deep electronic moments. produced by heavy analog machinery, the change has been marking the local spirits around for some years now and we thought it was about time to put it out on vinyl and give it some extra hippie yeah treatment...

in 2002, carl craig was at the centre of a collaboration between some of detroits most talented musicians old and new, including motown session players percy hughes and ron otis - the result of which was the spellbinding detroit experiment. one of the highlights of this session was their re-interpretation of donald byrd and larry mizells classic think twice, which was transformed into a sublime and unique jazz-house hybrid by this disparate ensemble of techno and r&b heavyweights. to continue the theme laid down by the detroit experiment, we have enlisted the skills of the multi-talented henrik schwarz - no stranger to fusing musical styles. his amazing remix effortlessly combines organic and electronic elements, to create a stirring piece of modern electronic dance music which has already taken the roof off parties across europe and the us, with pre-release plays from djs as diverse as ame, giles smith, justin martin, dixon and kev beadle.

the fourth and final installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series has saved the best for last. sunset in the east is an epic opus, gradually unfolding in a cascade of warm toms, luxuriant ride cymbals, and assured sax stabs from their talented guests from dop. each new phrase ushers a fresh set of sonic delights into the frame, peaking with exultant proclamations from the saxophones. on the flip side, the white-hot guillaume & the coutu dumonts remix distills the track into the purest, most primal house music imaginable. his arrangement deftly remolds the sax sections to suit the tracks grand progression, gloriously blurring the lines between percussion and instrumentation

the debut record of ritmolider kaleidoscope is a traditional studio work with live performance and classic analog sound. being in the era of nu disco and re edits the author has tried to find his own way of making music based on traditional methods of performance. and hes got a beautiful symbiosis of instrumental improvisations and electronic melodiousness. at the begining of the record theres a superb remix by the beat broker - deep, groovy synth disco, highly recomended for dancefloor! the second track is a journey into obscure psychedelic funk with lots of improvisations and atmospheric tunes....a pity so sweet percussions are added so late. b2 tonight at the discotheque will carry you away by the real soviet disco vibe. a beautiful arp solo softly flowing through amazing effects and acoustic drums focused on free played funky basslines. the original version of kaleidoscope is also a very interesting one. a mood of this composition is changed all the time. the first seconds of the track you hear a tender melodic solo which makes you feel calm and relaxed, then you get the groove coming from an agressive arpeggio and dinamic percussion. soon this feeling gets interrupted with a sudden slap bass impromtu playing together with a synthy accompaniment, and it turns into another feeling, and so on... this really reminds of kaleidoscope effect!

includes remix by patrick zigon. supported by laurent garnier, and.id, milton jackson, marco resmann, sebbo, delon & dalcan, patrick bateman, ed davenport, nhar, sebastien thibaud, lars sommerfeld

the pump ep is a typically genre-bending mixture of pumping, groovy house tracks, exploring the many sides of this highly regardedproducers fruitful repertoire. lead track the pump is a vivacious number that takes a clean, modern house aesthetic as a base and later infuses it with a dirtier, earlier morning vibe, with phoniques playful use of the resplendent chord stabs. its a slow burner indeed, and yet another example of his effortless arrangement talents. fancying a spot of fresh air and a trip into the audio countryside, bike ride is an even more playful journey into the kooky electronic world of phoniques studio outings. solid drums and warm sub bass provide the energy for all manner of pops and tweaks to unfold. its another deeper track but be warned it still has the power to lift a crowd up onto its tip-toes. going down more of a techno route, tooltime completes the package and breaks out the big guns for some serious heads down dancefloor ignition. urgent and tight late night action, not for the faint of heart, the tracks title is too modest - it should really read ‚ peak time

electric arguments is the first fireman album in 10 years, and this song based album couldnt be more different than its predecessors. for those who dont know by now, the fireman is a collaborative project between music icon paul mccartney and revered producer youth. the pair first worked together in the 90s when they made two ambient dance albums. originally the firemans identity was anonymous and was eventually revealed by the press as being paul and youth. in september it was announced that the fireman would this year release their first brand new material in a decade and this time there was a big difference - the duo had found their voice. speculation began, one studio insider was reported as saying the new songs sounds like arcade fire meets led zeppelin. certainly so far, anyone who has already heard the album has commented on just how accessible electric arguments is, compared to the first two fireman albums. this album is an eclectic and diverse collection of songs that show paul is still interested in pure musical possibilities. each track was written and recorded in the space of one day. the fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. the project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.

if you secretly believe that all of the best dance music has an undercurrent of melancholy then you are in for a treat. 0.5, the debut ep from the fascination movement, doesn?t skimp on either the dancefloor rhythms or the windswept yes-we-remember-new pop romanticism. the fascination movement is looking forwards, not backwards: just because this is music that adapts the same vocabulary created by bands like new order or early orchestral manoeuvres in the dark doesn?t change the fact that from the first arpeggios of ?just pretend? you feel the shock of the new. of course, you may be too busy humming along to the choruses to notice how slyly the band makes a classic sound fresh again...
