moby has released a new single and video for Òlike a motherless child,Ó from his forthcoming album everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt. featuring la-based soulstress raquel rodriguez, Òlike a motherless childÓ is a re-work of the well-known spiritual, with its origins in the slavery of the american south. the track describes the void left when one feels separated from a parent, higher power or similar guiding force. over the years this powerful song has been reinterpreted by the likes of odetta, lena horne, mahalia jackson and van morrison. the album is a glowing tapestry exploring spirituality, individuality and the brokenness of humanity and finds him returning to his orchestral, soul, trip-hop and gospel roots.

say what you wanna say, but you have to give strahil velchev this: the manÕs a powerhouse. recording and playing live under the kink alias, he went on to become one of finest purveyorÕs of funk in techno and house. what it is, by definition, ainÕt exactly clear. and that is the beauty of it. kinkÕs music is unifying in the best possible way. channeling the spirit and feeling of a time where it didnÕt really matter who the faces behind the music were, kink plays with the elements of genres and sub-genres as if the future of it all is still wide-open. at the same time it could be accused of retro-fetishism, as much as the pope himself is infallible. the pure need to recreate moments, feelings and experience - rather than carbon copies of existing designs - was what started kinkÕs production work. hailing from bulgaria, it was nearly impossible to get your hands on all the records and music that fed into a system of raves, clubs and record shops that seemed far away from sofia, and financially it might as well have meant another galaxy. wanting to dj without having access to the tracks that spun the carousel meant that you had to create them yourselves. so, here we go with a private bootlegger gone public mastermind and one of the loudest voices in house, techno and beyond. from kinkÕs early productions with neville watson to his smash-hit for ovum, a cerebral album for macro, tons of remixes & tracks and his mind-bending live act, playground seems to take all that into a blender. simultaneously a sound-summary, the harvest of a field of ideas, and the exhibition of an artist in his prime, it also works as a sort of kink dictionary: avant-garde soundscapes stand next to boisterous bangers, classic club tracks and peak time emotions

extrawelt are back! although in fairness, they were never gone. on the contrary, since their first release on james holdens border community label dropped in 2005, arne schaffhausen and wayan raabe have been responsible for a plethora of classics including schšne neue extrawelt and in aufruhr, their two seminal albums on cocoon recordings. the duo are one of the most booked live acts worldwide, commanding a huge fan base. their performances are the stuff of legend, making them the absolute highlight at every club and festival they play

in seiner fast 25-jŠhrigen karriere hat paul fast alles erreicht, was man in der internationalen dance-welt erreichen kann: mehrfach wurde er von den dj mag-lesern zum no.1 weltbesten dj gewŠhlt, 2014 sogar zur no.1 aller zeiten. sein klassiker -for an angel- (1994) zŠhlt fŸr das mixmag zu den 10 besten dance-tracks aller zeiten. weltstars wie madonna, u2, depeche mode, new order oder rammstein nehmen seine remixkŸnste in anspruch. paul spielt jŠhrlich Ÿber 150 shows, mit 1.5 millionen gŠsten gelang ihm silvester 2008 in rio de janeiro ein neuer publikumsrekord. und seine wšchentliche radioshow -vonyc sessions- feierte im mai 2016 ihre 500. folge und gehšrt mit einer durchschnittlichen downloadrate von 250.000 zu den 10 beliebtesten dance-formaten auf mixcloud. nun liegt pauls neue cd -from then on- mit 14 exzellenten tracks und zahlreichen kollabos vor. darauf befinden sich u.a. die 3 bisherigen single-auskopplungen -everyone needs love- (beatport trance #2), -touched by heaven- (beatport trance #3) und der jŸngste smash -stronger together- (beatport trance #1). damit wird die umfangreiche paul van dyk alben-diskografie, die mit album #7 -the politics of dancing 3- im frŸhjahr 2015 ihren bisherigen hšhepunkt erreichte, mit dem achten werk endlich fortgesetzt.

in february of 1971, larry ray and bill szymczyk fled an earthquake and a debauched l.a. music scene to claim their own slice of utopia in denver, colorado. after meeting and bonding at abc-dunhill, where ray landed as general manager, and where szymczyk had breezed in from new york fresh off his first real hit as a burgeoning engineer/producer with bb kings. the thrill is gone theyd often daydreamed about starting their own label.

when it comes to a state of trance, thereÕs no desire stronger. we need it in order to make the most of life, to fill the gap that would otherwise remain unfilled. to make us want to be in that moment, to have the very essence of our existence looking for that emotion. itÕs what we live for. with Ôa state of trance 2017Õ, the titans of trance have gathered round to show us all that we envision. it is a happy place where we can celebrate music and life, chock-full with exclusive records and emotion-driven cuts from flag-bearers such as alexander popov, armin van buuren, marlo, omnia, orjan nilsen, protoculture, super8 & tab. the compilation has captured the essence of all we hold so dear, touching us in ways that makes us shine even brighter. if you are part of the movement, you will share its beliefs and swear by its ideals. yet, few words are needed to explain the feeling. one phrase says it all. i live for that energy.

seit einiger zeit nun schon haben typische merkmale der trap music, die im rap beheimatet ist, einzug gehalten in den edm sound. der basslastige stil, durchsetzt mit hŠrteren beats und leichteren sounds, erinnert an dubstep und hat lŠngst einzug gehalten in die clubs und in die charts. unsere neue compilation trap sounds vol.1 taucht ein in dieses sich rasant entwickelnde genre und bietet mit 40 tracks auf 2cds einen coolen sampler.

stranger things- ist eine neue netflix-tv-serie, die gerade in deutschland gestartet ist und international gro§e wellen schlŠgt. die mystery-serie bietet jede menge referenzen an die 80er jahre, vergleiche zu steven spielberg und stephen king werden gerne gezogen. nicht weniger im fokus: der kongeniale soundtrack von kyle dixon & michael stein. von atmosphŠrischen stŸcken bis hin zu treibenden synthie-pop reicht das musikalische spektrum. hier wird gerne eine parallele zu dem score von -drive- gezogen, wohl einem der ikonografischsten soundtracks der letzten jahre. der zweite teil des kult-soundtracks knŸpft musikalisch nahtlos an seinen vorgŠnger an und bietet abermals synth heavy soundscapes in der tradition so gro§artiger filmkomponisten wie vangelis, john carpenter oder cliff martinez. die cd erscheint im digipak.

time will tell. true words reflecting the artistic and mainly personal metamorphosis klaudia gawlas has gone through in recent years. the result is her second album ÒvisionÓ in which she approaches a place she calls home in a musical context. the energetic but at the same time deeper and more sophisticated sound of ãvisionÒ is proof the she has taken a big step towards reaching the artistic level her true inner self has been striving for. as so often in life a strong vision leads to a very pure form of motivation, which finally turns wishful thinking into action. vision is a straight statement and commitment to the roots of techno. something that matches pretty well what klaudia gawlas is known to stand for. vision. 11 tracks, released on cd

with the release of fourth album crown posada, smoove & turrell cement their position as one of the uks most exceptional soul acts with their innate ability to deliver hard times social commentary in a dancefloor friendly medium. proudly working class as a band this album celebrates love, life, politics and the lows and the highs of growing up and raising families in the north east of england. gritty and powerful, the band make no attempt to sound or look like anyone else not for them the sharp suits and trumpet twirls of some of their peers. instead you get a wildly talented and vital crew of larger than life geordie lads taking their rightful place on the international soul scene having already become figureheads within the uk.

flames & figures ist das zweite album von the seshen. ihr progressiver sound kombiniert synthesizer, drum maschinen, live percussion und hinrei§ende harmonien, die eine unverkennbare mischung aus r&b, synth-pop und elektronischer musik ergeben. die in san francisco ansŠssige siebenkšpfige band wird von sŠnger lalin st. juste und bassist / produzent akiyoshi ehara angefŸhrt. das duo wird von fŸnf bemerkenswerten musikern begleitet: sŠngerin kasha rockland, drummer chris thalmann, keyboarder mahesh rao, percussionist mirza kopelman und sampler kumar butler. sie supporteten live-bands wie hiatus kaiyote, thundercat, petite noir oder tune-yards. soundtechnisch irgendwo zwischen den koordinaten j dilla, little dragon, beach house und erykah badu anzusiedeln.

praise poems vol.1: gilles peterson (worldwide / brownswood rec.): one of my fave comps of 2015. praise poems vol.2: oliver korthals (mojo / out of spectrum on byte fm): extremely well put together track listing of artists which i have never heard before. left me with my mouth open... - highly recommend! praise poems vol.3: dom servini (wah wah 45s): this is incredible. praise poems vol.4:

sound and rhythm are effective means of individuals self-defence in face of chaotic steamroller of everyday life. hiding in a familiar yet simultaneously hardly recognisable parallel space does not have to result from the need of escaping the world or nurturing one’s ego. too many times to mention, music appearing under recognition imprint served as a peculiar type of a vehicle of survival and a tool for internal transformation. hideland, new record by polish electronic music producer jacek sienkiewicz is released precisely year after drifting, which largely explored tropes of classical club techno sound. eight (nine in extended cd version) tracks comprising this album go beyond easy-to-pigeonhole genres, creating a microcosm of utopian sound constructs. surprisingly unobvious and precisely composed release could be fascinating both for loyal fans and for new listeners looking for threads of experimentalism. its another intriguing proposal in jacek sienkiewiczs growing discography, but above all, a laboratory where dreams and artistic visions metamorphose into concrete reality.

everything i know and i will never know about you is a journey through electronica, deep-house and pop, driven by the endless and timeless sources of inspiration that are love and life. prior releases on powerhouses diynamic, get physical and third ear have pinpointed denites sound at the border of deep and tech-house but his long player debut is, sonically, a fresh new adventure. the spanish producer takes a developed and matured sound into deeper dimensions of self-reflection, exploring new sonori- ties while remaining loyal to his early influences with strong personal touches on drums and keys. everything i know and i will never know about you is a bold move for denite, who comes a step closer to achieving his artistic vision. tracks like when i go out and the art of letting go embody the albums innate dance-floor nature while songs like berlin see the spanish producer looking square towards new horizons and musical ambitions. club-friendly while staying geared towards the headphones, everything i know and i will never know about you reads like a bridge between two love stories with similar paths and mirroring endings. opening with the slow, pulsating sound of a heartbeat, it follows the universal cycle of the highs and lows of a relationship, closing on brighter promises and new potentialities

dani sicilianoÕs latest album is self-titled for a reason, it represents a personal statement crafted by daniÕs own hand - feeding off her accomplished past in experimental pop and electronica and reaching to new tones and timbres in a celebration of musical liberation. culminating eight years of songwriting, production research and sonic exploration, circus company is proud to present dani sicilianoÕs third solo album
