bomb alert !!! incl swag remix !! an electro tinged house cut with solid percussion, deep disco elements and some soulful vocals. mr. oscar is back following up the success of last releases...

big with james holden & thomas schumacher !!the a-side will and has already proved to be the perfect dance floor track while the b-side shows a deeper and more serious side of the label. with its funky base line and humoristic build up-break, subaquatic mechanic brings new life in to the myth of atlantis. playing games on the other hand, is techno for the david lynch generation. the atmosphere is so dense you can feel it. yes, you actually feel something when listening to this track. not so very common in dance music today and this is the reason why kontra-musik is here. the finishing track, high voltage monkey, brings it all down before it wraps it all up to a complete product. expect support from: richie hawtin

this is the first of the four parts of our new compilation traffic iii. from the beginning, the denomination traffic was meant to be an expression of the awareness that movement and change always were, still are and always will be an essential part of it. and that you can join in. the records are documents of this changes that occur step by step. whether the emphasis lies on the music in terms of time (future music, retro, music of this time…) or in terms of style (breakbeat, minimal, detroit, whatever…)

a unique collaboration between mark simmons & dennis christopher. >just the way< is an excellent vocal house tune which is currently support by stonebridge, lewis dene and laidback luke...

this 3 tracker is fully on in sound, musical aesthetics and diversion and way above much of the boring noodley schrott released these dayz. 3 high densed tracks that will all be played out and are ready to go further. loud, thrilling, clicking intense , wild pitching. a strong statement.congrats folks, you guys are not just >someone else< and this is not >little<. at all.

das zweite marek hemmann soloprojekt macht nicht nur weiter wo das erste aufhoerte.. ein klasse a1 track und eine rave hymne die von den wighnomy brothers rauf und runtergespielt wird plus ein leicht deeper athmosphaerischer leckerbissen lassen marek hemmann in unserem kopf verankern !!13.02.2006

combines many styles and is a true crossover record that will work on any floor, techno, house or minimal. the track has the same kind of hypnotizing feeling like a john tejada record but it developes more towards a strong electro cut with its hitting snare and open structure. on the flip >man of the moment< andré kraml tears it up and puts down a solid groover. with his typical dense production and use of crazy samples and sounds it gets its own style we know from his great records he released last year on >crosstownrebels< and >firm<

oscar mixes techno-electro and some tough bass thats purely f-in rockin! on the flip is the highly talked about blackstrobe remix that gives the track a completely new sound design reminding us of new order or nitzer ebb, following the melody of the original whether new york, berlin, or ibiza, this is surely going to rock any dancefloor

dakar und grinser haben sich wieder gefunden.. ein glueck auch denn dakar's stimme und grinser's musik passen einfach zusammen.. auf dem neuen album gibt's mehr gerade beats als früher und es ist etwas popig angehaucht..

remixed by sebastian ingrosso / steve angello and jerry ropero / denis the menace, as the sun sets on another summer, and the golden sandy beaches are just a distant hazy memory, the swedish based joia label refuse to lie down and surrender, delivering hot new mixes of steve lawler's 'my sound'. after causing a major buzz when the limited (and now deleted!) one-sided original floated across from the ibiza shores, this hefty piano-infused beast is given a thorough reworking from all angles from a five-star lineup

lars sommerfeld underlines once more fumakillas unique new grown up sound profile - cool reduzed long growing tracks somewhere between sparkling electroniquness, thumping minimised grooves, bumpty discotech layers and at times even classic real underground new york house pitches in the like of early nervousstuff thrown in. sommerfeld combines it all to an ultra ônowö three track smasher ( a1- sundowner b1 - the next step b2 - transport) from what we think is his best and most worked out release to date. no denying, to get massive play here we dont need no whippin , this wild ôlife of oö will ôdominateö floors all over until full satisfaction!

dennis ferrer making a welcome return with this new release for the ibadan imprint. 'son of raw' blends a funky bassline groove with some superbly jazzy keys, riffing synths, and shuffling house beats, before a late-arriving 'you dont know' vocal loop comes in to top the whole thing off, as dennis lays down some of fine deep house for the floor crowds to whet their whistles to

its pounding bassline creates the energy for powering the main room of now. one for the heads, it features the uplifting vocals of elzi troy and builds steadily before ripping through the speaker. this is atmospheric tech house at its best. no denying that this belter causes rapturous reaction on every play and is yet another floor inspiring track that bellows the signature sound of revered producer sandy rivera

a-sun amissa is a project formed out of leeds, uk in 2011 by members of glissando and the rustle of the stars. built on the foundations of the unknown, a project that encompasses minimalist drones, modern-classical movements and avant-garde tendencies. richard knox (glissando, the rustle of the stars, of thread & mist) & angela chan (glissando, the rustle of the stars, ten, tomorrow we sail) began forming the initial ideas in the autumn of 2011, moving away from the piano-led ambience of previous outputs. new album you stood up for victory, we stood up for less sees a-sun amissa moving in a more dense direction, the drones are heavier, the sound thicker and with the added bass-clarinet of gareth davis there a new slightly darker jazz element now to the music. the two tracks were conceived initially as two drone guitar pieces, following that, work was done on the composition and atmosphere of the tracks adding the bass-clarinet, viola, vocals, field recordings and piano. the finished works produce an unsettling but hypnotic listen with melodies moving in and out of the mix throughout these two pieces. you stood up for victory, we stood up for less is released a year on from a-sun amissas debut desperate in her heavy sleep (gizeh). the band will tour the uk and europe in february and also play a handful of uk dates with barn owl in april. recorded at cloud blunt moon and city 1, leeds in october & november 2012. mixed by richard knox. mastered by james plotkin. photography by frŽdŽric d. oberland. layout & design by richard knox

ceremony in the stillness is the new album from a-sun amissa - released september 14th via gizeh records and consouling sounds. for its fourth full-length, a-sun amissa plunges deeper than before. guitars come to the fore. heavy, distorted chords are present from the off, complemented by desolate ambient passages of sound. the claustrophobic atmospheres remain but combine with a new density and sonic experimentation to present a huge leap forward in structure and composition

we are back in the hauptstadt (berlin capital) with the fifth installment of the * stil vor talent berlin* compilation series, which brings forth a group of old and new faces, who exclusively contributed unreleased tracks, gathered under the umbrella of one of berlins most iconic spots. frankfurter tor is the gateway to one of our favourite districts: good old friedrichshain. loud, left and a little dirty, it houses some of the cityÕs best clubs, markets and musicians, oliver koletzki included. its two towers stand as metaphorical guards to an area that has plenty to offer and asks for little in return, instantly making it feel like home. as always, music is the common denominator and oliver koletzki delivers the perfect soundtrack with this new release, while chrisse kunst renders the visuals.

mit hitsingles wie -get a life-, -back home- und -sky and sand- (mit seinem bruder paul) hat fritz kalkbrenner in den letzten jahren unser modernes verstŠndnis von elektronischer musik mitgeprŠgt. nach vier erfolgreichen alben, von denen die letzten beiden die top 10 der deutschen albumcharts erreichten, wendet er seinen musikalischen blick in eine andere richtung. es geht hier um elektronische musik, wie sie fritz kalkbrenner in seiner jugendlichen sozialisierung in den bis heute legendŠren techno- und houseclubs der hauptstadt in den neunziger jahren kennengelernt hat. die zŠsur, des weglassens der so vertraut gewordenen bariton stimme šffnet die tŸr in die weite welt elektronischer musik, die sowohl fŸr das homelistening, als auch fŸr den clubeinsatz taugt. es gibt auf diesen 12 tracks keine konventionen und manchmal auch kein halten mehr, fritz kalkbrenner lŠsst sich gehen in der faszination fŸr dub techno, fŸr klare dominante housestrukturen oder auch in feinen hymnischen melodien die aus so manchem titel des neuen albums herausscheinen.

cd jewel-box with 8 pages stapled bookle. after 20 years of good, loyal and unforgettable services to pop music, les innocents retired. jean-philippe nataf and jean-christophe urbain remember their meilleurs souvenirs (best memories): from jodie, a 7 recorded in 1987 to danny wilde (1999), this bandÕs discography underlines perfectly the strength of melodies and charm of harmonies. if no unreleased track expands this best of hits from the four albums, meilleurs souvenirs fly across time and draw a perfect world on an outline inherited from the beatles with dentelle and les cailloux. some high quality pop music to make une vie moins ordinaire (a less ordinary life).

the sound of studio one can be identified by the great singers that it cultivated along the many great songs that these singers released. but as studio 1 s dominance was slowly pulled away by the up and coming new breed of producers many of the artists would inevitably end up working for these new camps and so the songs and singers found a new audience. the reggae sound of the studio 1 would make a great combination and the man to pull this was together bunny lee.

die klingt genau so, wie sie hei§t: farbenprŠchtig, schwurbelig, episodenhaft und manchmal richtig schšn beknackt. siriusmo nistet sich auch mit seinem dritten album wieder an seinem ganz eigenen plŠtzchen in der elektronischen musik ein, indem er alle mšglichen stile und vorlieben durch seinen persšnlichen filter schickt, notorisch tiefstapelt, ma§los Ÿbertreibt und immer auf dem punkt landet. siriusmo ist der vordenker, der gar keiner sein will. comic ist ein perfekt unperfektes selbstportrŠt und enthŠlt in des meisters eigenen worten 14 bunte geschichten zum selbstausmalen. aber keine bange, diese geschichten erwachen von ganz allein zum leben. vergleiche sind ŸberflŸssig, nur einer drŠngt sich auf: sowohl melodische vintage-electro-romanzen wie dagoberta als auch fuchsteufelswilde arrangements wie bleat ziehen parallelen zu alten squarepusher-platten. statt jazz und jungle bestimmt bei moritz eben die berliner sozialisation den sound.

a.r.c. soundtracks is the audio/visual project of k.craig and david armes. dereliction//mirror is the duoÕs third release, following on from a debut album, archive: volume one (little crackd rabbit) and a cassette release for sacred tapes, from a shattered beam. dereliction//mirror was created on-residency at salford s islington mill, home to gnod, sacred tapes and many other noise/experimental musicians and labels. it is an audio/visual piece that uses the semi-derelict attic spaces as both inspiration and source material. focussing on the notion of ruins and their potential for reappropriation, dereliction//mirror combines a dense, multi-layered sound-world with ritualistic visuals to create an immersive, hypnotic work. this new film and soundtrack takes us into a bleak auditory realm of post-industrial structures and traces the role of the body within these liminal spaces. strained harmonics and industrial, discordance mesh with veiled rhythms and spoken-word narrative to create a heavy, static energy to both sound and visuals.

diese zusammenstellung ist gewisserma?en der soundtrack zur ausstellung -soul of a nation: art in the the age of black power-, die 2017 sowohl in der londoner tate gallery als auch im new yorker brooklyn museum gezeigt wird. dabei geht die kompilation den einfl?ssen nach, welche die b?rgerrechtsbewegung und der schwarze nationalismus im gefolge von martin luther king, malcolm x und der black panther party gegen ende der sechzigerjahre auf radikale afroamerikanische musikentw?rfe in den usa hatten. zu den von soul jazz pr¤sentierten k?nstlern gehüren ikonen wie gil scott-heron, roy ayers, don cherry, oneness of juju, sarah webster fabio, horace tapscott und phil ranelin. deren werke illustrieren, wie politische themen zur entwicklung einer -conscious black music- f?hrte, in der verschiedene popul¤re afrozentrische stile dieser umbruchszeit kulminierten - die radikale spiritualit¤t john coltranes, der radikale avantgardismus eines sun ra, james-brown-funk, der soul aretha franklins und urbane proto-rap-poesie der metropolen. wie f?r soul jazz typisch kommt das ganze opulent ausgestattet mit umfassenden begleittexten und exklusiven fotografien.

the latest transmission from the world of gunnar haslam, kalaatsakia wildly sprawls across the intersections of techno and more abstract sounds to take us on a wideranging journey from the subterranean to the coastal, from blown-out dub tones through fractured rhythms. an incredible work that is not easy to pigeonhole, kalaatsakia is a full length album that navigates and sketches landscapes where new languages are created from old, dead ones to emerge as the lingua franca of interconnected immersive zones.

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.

a leading figure of the contemporary electronic world, jamie odell aka jimpster sets his sights firmly back on the album format with this beautifully crafted long-player, silent stars. a self-confessed creature of the night, the freerange records and delusions of grandeur boss taps into his nocturnal and escapist impulses to deliver a superbly executed modern-day fusion album. his seventh studio album and first since 2013Õs highly-acclaimed porchlight and rocking chairs, this is an album dedicated to the nocturnal hours. silent stars is a richly textured ride through the tapestry of house, from jazz-infused opener ÔmigrationsÕ through to the dense, orchestral euphoria of Ôtau tonaÕ and the minimal, percussive bounce of title track Ôsilent starsÕ. the listener edges a touch closer to the dancefloor on tracks like ÔyansaÕ and Ôpower of the doofÕ - yet the grooves stay subtle with intricate percussion, dense sound design and a mischievous streak being palpable throughout. a range of guests are welcomed by jimpster across silent stars. hotly-tipped londoner florence rawlings adds her vocals on ÔcraveÕ and ÔeverytimeÕ. past collaborator and member of kirk degiorgioÕs the beauty room, jinadu weaves emotional soul on album centerpiece Ôthe sun comes upÕ. khalil anthony lends his vocals on Ôwhere you areÕ and leading session drummer andy gangadeen (massive attack, chase & status, the bays) lays down his immense beats on Ôtau tonaÕ. jimpster is a true veteran of the global house scene, a custodian of the authentic deep house sound and a producer who has quietly created some of the most reflective and sophisticated electronic music

angelehnt an ein legendŠres konzert im mai 2008, bei dem das pariser symphonieorchester les sicles unter seinem dirigenten francois-xavier roth kompositionen des detroiter techno-produzenten carl craig in vollkommen neue klangsphŠren ŸberfŸhrte, erscheint nun das album -versus-, das diese konzeption aufgreift und in perfektion vollendet. dabei wirkt der franzšsische pianist francesco tristano als mediator, der craigs techno-sounds in klassische partitionen transformiert. als zusŠtzlicher spiritual advisor war carl craigs langjŠhriger freund und wegbegleiter moritz von oswald an den aufnahmen beteiligt, mit dem er zusammen in 2008 das legendŠre -recomposed- album bei der deutschen grammophon veršffentlichte. traditionelle klassik-orchestrierung trifft elektronischen underground-sound.

er ist australier, doch lebt in island. sein letztes albums aurora (mute) sorgte fŸr furore. a new kind of force and momentum on the back of whiplashing electronics, beschrieb pitchfork das werk. durch den erfolg beflŸgelt, kollaborierte er jŸngst mit kŸnstlern wie the swans und tim hecker. bevor diesen herbst sein neues studio-album erscheint, legt er nun mit -music from fortitude- den soundtrack zu der tv-serie fortitude vor. die von sky atlantic produzierte serie, gilt als nordic noir par excellence. die musik von ben frost begleitet die cineastische bilderwelt kongenial: dŸstere sounds šffnen weitlŠufige rŠume und ziehen den hšrer hypnotisch in ihren bann.

over the years, berlin has been cited as oliver koletzkiÕs main point of reference and, more importantly, his endless source of inspiration. his albums gro§stadtmŠrchen and gro§stadtmŠrchen 2 are wholehearted tributes of the german capital, as its importance is continuously hinted and charted. friedrichshain, one of berlinÕs vibrant districts, has always held a special place in oliverÕs heart. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. kreuzbergÕs wall paintings adorn stil vor talent Õs cover sleeves and host their headquarters. there are little to no corners in the city that havenÕt brought a spark of inspiration into the mix. the schneeweiss compilation series, now at its seventh installment, is built as a form of tribute to all these particles, tied in together into a series of carefully curated tracks. each compilation stands at the intersection of the musical and cultural surroundings most prominent of their respective times, acting both as a reminder as well as a timeless sound capsule for the years to come.
