the coombes debut ep is an astonishingly graceful and multifaceted creature that effortlessly synthesizes psych rock, minimal folk and electronica.the coombe began as a soundtrack collaboration between karen sharkey and samuel de la rosa (led er est) for some animated short films karen was producing while living in queens, ny. after their move to texas in 2012, further experimenting resulted in longer songs, noise suites, and field recordings that later would represent the essence of this ep. born and in part recorded in the desert, the coombe is comprised of six mesmerizing gems that provide a rarefied glimpse into a touching and liquid soundscape. these are songs for the enamored.
limited edition of 300 copies with artwork by giandomenico carpentieri. strongly recommended to fans of five or six, flaming tunes, led er est.

hat barrington levy seinen charakteristischen ohoho molldreiklang in absteigender tonfolge eigentlich jemals als markenzeichen schützen lassen? der reggae-saenger ist mit dieser stimmlichen signatur jedenfalls auf anhieb zu erkennen, nicht zuletzt, weil er von diesem gesangs-jingle ausgiebigen gebrauch gemacht hat. am legendärsten natuerlich auf seinem dancehall-hit here i come, mit dem diese werkschau seiner fruehen karriere von 1979-84 gewissermaßen abschließt. zu beginn war er uebrigens noch zarte 15 jahre jung und hatte mit songs wie shine eye gal schon ordentlich vorgelegt. ein zu unrecht vernachlaessigter klassiker. >d:bug<

the latest offering from san franciscos icee hot label finds the young imprint officially welcoming another artist to its gradually expanding roster. that said, contakt isnt exactly a stranger. the michigan-reared, new york-based producer is one of the founders and resident djs at brooklyns turrbotax® party, which has long been a sort of sister party to icee hot. contakt has previously released music for respected outposts like local action, grizzly, and dutty artz, but nobody else and tessera 04 find him taking an important step forward as an artist, delivering tunes that are richer and more really realized than anything from his past. particularly on nobody else, contakts flair for big-room melody remains intact, but he takes notes from classic kms, filling out the songs cresting synths with a full-bodied bassline, a hooky vocal sample and a sturdy rhythmic underpinning. tessera 04 goes deeper, channeling maurizio while delving headlong into a dense cloud of synths and maintaining a steady sense of forward momentum. on the flipside, icee hot resident ghosts on tape continues his recent hot streak, infusing nobody else with punchy drumwork and a potent rave sensibility. detroit legend robert hood then rounds out the release, transforming tessera 04 into a pulsing and purring slice of heady analog techno.

fresh again, silks favorite dunce-dance diva, maria minerva, tries on a new wardrobe with her bless ep. busting out with sweet n swingy single black magick, minerva caters her classic la-la lyrics about an occult/joke-cult romance over a new waif, schneider-esque pop-rock lobsta beat. space 4 u slips echo-drone vocal monologues over a laface-style rnb booty bumper, while symbol of my pleasure sneers with a walk this way funk lick, both reminding fans of minervas naughty/playful creep-creativities. rounding out the ep are soul searchin – a sleazy, down-tuned, junk-jungle comatose doser – and lady blacktonikas black magick garage trippin remix – a layer cake of luscious tush pushin and an ode to another sassy lady, miss kier herself. confidence is key, and this is maria minerva struttin,’ on and off key, through her newest collection of wand songs.

gleich drei produzenten holte jessie ware für ihr neues album devotion ins boot. neben julio bashmore und kid harpoon war auch dave okumu (the invisible) an der platte beteiligt. herausgekommen ist ein naturgemäß vielschichtiges album, welches nicht zuletzt durch seine abwechslungsreichen songs besticht.

in den 12 songs ihres mittlerweile fuenften albums fuehren glutamat wieder eine neue, weiterentwickelte variante ihres vergnuegten taenzchens mit der leichtglaeubigkeit auf.die musikalische bandbreite reicht von trocken-brutalen garagenpunkkrachern ueber bizarre exkursionen in den krautrock bis hin zu gefuehlvoll verlogenen liebesliedern, die ohnehin nur vom tod aller beteiligten handeln. die lp kommt auf fettem 180-gramm vinyl, auf 300 stueck limitiert, in einem hervorragenden, wunderschoenen und handgedruckten cover, cd-version inklusive.

push the sky away ist das vielleicht außergewöhnlichste album der bad seeds. der longplayer strahlt natürlichkeit und waerme aus, ein werk von subtiler schoenheit. die songs haben über ein jahr hinweg gestalt angenommen in nick caves geliebtem notizbuch. das notizbuch ist ein analoges artefakt, doch das internet ist für nick cave ebenso essentiell.

wonder wet records is proud to announce the return of the production of one of the most eclectic and respected italian djs, claudio fabrianesi. esteemed in his hometown rome, where he plays every saturday for alchemy at the vicious club? two stylistically opposite songs, but with one thing in common: the quality. cosmic kabul, on side a, is a pearl for any cosmic genre lover, the track contains multiple musical influences and people will talk about it for a long time. warm reaction, on the b side, is a deep journey into a more mental techno, but with also groove. a record that will make the difference, an absolute must!

bunker i-iii is an artefactual statement. the band tap909 deals with this fact and creates some striking material in their live shows. the songs from this ep are taken from one of these indecent moments, which are radical, noisy and unscripted – searching for an answer between all these analogue machine sounds. an answer made out of technology which technology cannot give. against the society of selfish dreamers and spine- less fools.

in den vergangenen wochen setzte yoann lemoine bereits mehrere audiovisuelle ausrufezeichen: unter dem namen woodkid veröffentlichte er mit iron , run boy run und i love you aussagekräftige vorboten seines debütalbums the golden age . wer sich die aufwändig produzierten videos zu den vorabsingles angesehen hat, ist mit dem thema des albums schon bestens vertraut: auf the golden age wird in 14 songs die geschichte eines jungen erzählt, der sterben muss, um als erwachsener wiedergeboren zu werden.

26 year old julien perez was the former frontman of french band adam kesher (2007 - 2011). he writes and sings now in french. his songs are urban, ethereal, nocturnal soundscapes, infused with a sweaty variete touch. the way he builds his tracks is tense and sensual, reminding of christophe and la perversita lyrics, as much as of border community label and invisible conga people productions. perez will release his first ep in february 2013 on dirty. it has been produced by pilooski (discodeine, tristesse contemporaine), already supported by laurent garnier and tim sweeney.

mit songs wie >kinder an die macht< oder >tanzen< ist >spruenge< eines der unverzichtbaren groenemeyer alben. erschienen erstmals 1986, erreichte das album im selben jahr platinstatus und belegte platz 1 der charts. hiermit erscheint nun endlich wieder die vinylversion in der neuen remastered version, erstmals auf 180gr vinyl.

orre releases a 12inch mini-album by the inimitable avrocar. cited by radiohead as a prime influence on their kid a album, they also did an acclaimed session for the radio show of the late john peel. the eight songs here are improvised sketches, referencing the psychedelic side of krautrock, harmonious sixties pop and lethargic post-punk. combined with a modern feel of rhythmic progression and production, avrocar effortlessly comes up with songs that are moody, but yet fit many moods. without pretension, straight to your heart and mind, avrocar is a band to be cherished.

a musical journey around the globe with music from oi va voi (london), arthur lee (memphis), manolis hiotis (athens), baba zula (istanbul), manau (paris), (dunkelbunt) (vienna), axel krygier & tremor (buenos aires), watcha clan (marseille) ... on a limited edition vinyl (incl. cd album) - only 150 copies available for distribution! many songs are available for the first (and maybe last) time on vinyl!

mit fade veröffentlichen yo la tengo eines der homogensten alben ihrer geschichte. durch seinen warmen sound und die dichten kompositorischen texturen erinnert das 13. werk des us-trios vor allem an die bandklassiker i can hear the heart beating as one und and then nothing turned itself inside-out . hier wie dort dominieren fein gesponnene melodien, rhythmische schattenspiele und dezent orchestrierte noise-passagen das variationsreiche klangbild. vor allem aber geht von fade eine tiefgreifende, schwärmerische erhabenheit aus, die selbst für die band aus hoboken, new jersey, außergewöhnlich ist. aufgenommen wurde das album in chicago zusammen mit john mcentire (tortoise). durch dessen unterstützung entstanden geschliffene songs, die trotz ihres facettenreichtums ein im zusammenhang geschlossenes klangbild ergeben - vom bedachtsam tänzelnden well you better über das fiebernde stupid things und die warmen verzerrungen von paddle forward bis zum groovenden schlusssong before we run mit seinen wunderbaren streicher- und bläserarrangements.

ein wundervolles, vielschichtiges und intensives album mit elf songs zwischen post-rock & melodischem hardcore & punk. inklusive downloadcode.

when wncl012 hero, kevin mcphee, dropped the unreleased bobby champs dubplate of *krenshaw* in his boiler room set last year, the cassette library instantly knew that they had found their lucky star for wncl013. with his trademark boxy drum sound littering the contents of this ep, the man who likes *…making songs that make you want to dance* has done it again.

tropics a.k.a. chris ward first appeared on planet mu last year, following up two eps with the album parodia flare. commended by pitchfork for his lush soundscapes and hazy pop, whats clear with tropics is that he listens to a lot of dance music and he cares about production values. the synth and beat programming is as competent as anything out there, and he avoids lazy indie stylings and one button bontempi organ beats – his are crafted songs, much of the pleasure lying in his gift for dynamic arrangement, which is a joy amid rafts of useful formulaically assembled house tracks.
in common with the general post-financial collapse vibe there is less sunshine in this ep than before, and he has absorbed something from a year of intensive house music listening, but chris essential qualities remain a forward-looking wistfulness, hope beneath melancholy, something even more acutely needed now than before. oh look! here comes winter.

12records is here to introduce the 2nd album by deep88, aka alessandro pasini.this album is a collection of removing dust ep vol 1 +2 (available separately).after some 12 inches released on vinyl only it felt right to collect some of the best songs released together with the brand new material and create an organic album, supporting the album with a live setup (no laptop is involved).

upon the first listen, the work of fernando unfolds directly on your brain and leaves a long lasting feeling of drama. fernando pulichino is one those lucky guys who can pick up any instrument and write songs without breaking a sweat. he first caught my attention with a remake of the bauhaus classic kick in the eye released on redux in 2008. he then backed up this great start with releases and remixes for labels like international feel, under the shade, internasjonal and nang. he also very busy touring as part of the 2020 soundsystem band and he is also in silver city with julian sanza.
we decided to put together a long player to highlight the talents of our man in buenos aires. the construction of *float* reveals an astonishing wealth of musical ideas, brazen touches of new wave and icy modern disco sounds are evident throughout. low slung basses are also a theme that runs right through *float* whether it is the opening song *a place* which has a monster electronic bottom end or *from out there* which sits firmly on the punk funk dinner table, bass lines are clearly important to fernando.

after the successful debut by doppelklikk, dubi records presents the outdoor adventure ep by restless! the outdoor adventure ep transports the emotions of long summer nights directly to the speakers. the natural character of the songs gives the ep a open-air feeling

black tekno emerges from the undercurrent of chicago with its first release, an acid infused, floor jacking four track ep from noleian reusse entitled *second language*. the songs here are aimed at the dancer, ranging from emotional sci fi to straight up party jams. all tracks were recorded live - hands on the keys, knobs and faders of noleian’s analog hardware setup.

mit dem album aoxomoxoa sind viele premieren der band verbunden. es war das erste album, das sie ausschließlich in tonstudios in nähe ihrer heimatstadt san francisco aufnahm, im pacific recording studio bei san mateo und im pacific high recording studio direkt in san francisco. es ist das erste album, bei dem tom constanten als festes bandmitglied mitspielte. robert hunter arbeitete nur als offizieller songwriter für die band und mit garcia bis zu dessen tod zusammen. zum ersten mal wurde ein schwerpunkt bei akustischen songs wie mountains of the moon und duprees diamond blues gelegt. somit musste lesh zum ersten mal einen akustischen bass spielen, was er mit dem spielen einer violine verglich, da dieser keine bünde für die finger hat.

nach ihrem großartigen debütalbum, das wunderbar electronica und soul verbindet, veröffentlichen stubborn heart, die shooting stars des jahres, ihre neue single mit vier versionen des songs starting block.

diamond version ist eine kollaboration zweier innovatoren moderner musik, byetone und alva noto. als führende köpfe des chemnitzer labels raster-noton und mit ihren solo-projekten alva noto (carsten nicolai) und byetone (olaf bender) arbeiten die beiden seit geraumer zeit an der grenze von intuitiver und konzeptueller kunst, einer verbindung von galerie und dancefloor. der dritte teil der ep-serie mit den titeln *turn on tomorrow / turn on tomorrow (version) & sense of urgency* beinhaltet drei tracks, in denen das auditive, das visuelle und das sloganhafte unmittelbar miteinander verschränkt ist. an der crispen, synthetischen oberfläche der songs spiegelt sich die brutale realität der slogans und macht deren bedrohlichen dystopischen gehalt - und ihre absurdität - sichtbar.

knox is the band brainchild of brother-sister duo nic and eliza coolidge. hailing from boston and new york, the siblings released their second ep, here, on december 3rd, and it is a big step forward for the band. formed less than two years ago, in march 2011, knox finds themselves working with the likes of john tejada and kuxxan suum on this release, and the outcome is stunning. here is five-song set full of ice and echoes. it runs as close to the third rail of impersonation, but flies away so quickly that knox sounds contextual and perfectly fresh. the influences from james blake is clear: the swooping, bomber bass and half-timey compressed dub beats, here could also easily be an inventive b-side to the latest how to dress well album. but, with the limited scale, interspersed remixes and foundling status in the scene, i would say it is likely a more impressive feat. the ep as a whole is desolate. expansive spaces filled with cold little beats and vocal washes, exploring in the course of five songs an icescape aesthetic with a sense of place usually reserved for full-length albums. the remixes blend so seamlessly that i didnt even realize they were during my first, casual listen.

die songs auf ulrich schnauss viertem soloalbum schweben mühelos zwischen electronica, ambient und shoegaze.

fatty fatty phonographics is a new label out of dublin determined to dispense with lazy loop button editing and get back to the original point - to make great songs work better on the dancefloor ...

in the country mario & vidis come from cover version is a little bit of a curse word and arouses serious suspicions whenever mentioned. even the biggest pop names do half of their gigs and have half of their income just performing well-known songs and impersonating well-known international artists. but when the vocals of bon ivers >re: stacks< recorded by up and coming british singer songwriter james barbarossa mathe were sent their way they didnt have a slightest doubt. not an obvious track selection and a really unique vocal treatment inspired them for a cover version of a different kind. as yet another proof of superior quality the release comes with a remix from Âme. vinyl only and limited to 300 copies this one is a little bit special.

domenico writes and co-writes all the songs, sings, plays guitar and designs the rhythmically adventurous soundscapes heard on cine prive. with the help of old (pedro sa, alberto continentino, moreno veloso, kassin, and adriana calcanhotto) and newer (money mark, darin gray & glenn kotche of duo on fillmore) friends and musical collaborators the songs were recorded live in the studio with most tracks calling on no more than three musicians at a time.

das trio (jimmy, chuck und ryan) aus brooklyn, new york gehört mit nude beach zu den ersten signings von other music. mit ihrem album ii , welches vor power nur so strotzt und american-rock-fans begeistern wird, wurden sie bereits in diesem jahr von spin unter die besten 5 best new artists gewählt. ihre zeitlosen songs erinnern stark an tom petty und paul westerberg.

françoiz breut ist zurück! und damit eine der schönsten und charaktervollsten stimmen im französischen pop. mit ihrem neuen studioalbum >la chirurgie des sentiments< fügt breut ihrer facettenreichen karriere ein neues glanzlicht hinzu. drei jahre nach dem vorgänger >a l aveuglette<, das gemeinsam mit ihrer damaligen band entstanden war, betritt breut wieder musikalisches neuland: >la chirurgie des sentiments< ist das ergebnis einer engen zusammenarbeit mit gitarrist stépahne daubersy und den soundideen der brüder nicolas und fabrice laureau (don niño, nlf3, bright eyes, long fin killie). das ergebnis sind elf neue songs voller leichtigkeit und spontaneität. >la chirugie des sentiments< ist ein album, das spielfreude und breutsche eleganz versprüht, mit schlanker, moderner produktion, einem urbanen sound und entspanntem, lässigem charme. vielleicht die beste breut, die es je gab.

in their own words, like a radio-controlled mechanical, electro-mechanical and multifunctional musical instrument, berliner ring build up relentless and relentlessly different grooves in a characteristically non-direct way. as if playing around without focus they layer their tracks and slowly position them into form. the tracks featured here were originally released on cd on the art yard label. melodies are fragmented, often even sparse, the groove never stops, but does so with intervals and while changing focus. berliner ring references similar bands in the krautrock and post-rock genre, but it s subtlety, the originality of their self-built instruments and their songs that shift from downright groovy to more atmospheric explorations of ambience and texture guarantee them a unique voice and perspective. essential stuff.

die vielgepriesenen multiinstrumentalisten der menahan street band veröffentlichen ihr zweites album the crossing auf dem daptone records-ableger dunham records. der titeltrack des albums hatte seine premiere am 1. august auf rollingstone.com.
neben ihrer rolle als offizielle hausband des brooklyner labels dunham records hat die menahan street band bereits 2008 ein erstes album veröffentlicht, dass nicht nur von den kritikern bejubelt wurde sondern auch deshalb von sich reden macht, weil es so oft gesampelt wurde, wie kaum eine andere zeitgenössische funk- oder soul-platte. samples von made the road by walking finden sich unter anderem in songs von weltbekannten kollegen wie jay-z, 50 cent, kid cudi und vielen anderen. 2011 spielte die band no time for dreaming, das debüt-album der soul-sensation charles bradley ein den sie auf seiner welt-tournee auch als backingband begleiteten. das album wurde co-komponiert und produziert von mbs-gründungsmitglied thomas brenneck.

footprintz are on a rich run of form right now, showing a craftsmanship in their songs that is so often lacking in modern day dance music. new single favourite game is set to further buck this trend when it drops on december 3rd (general release).

was gibt es für eine schöne art und weise, die weihnachtliche jahreszeit zu feiern, als mit einer musikalischen zusammenarbeit von zwei guten freunden? in diesem jahr haben dawn mccarthy und bonnie prince billy gemeinsam die beiden everly brothers-songs >christmas eve can kill you< und >lovey kravezit< neu aufgenommen, die ende november via domino als 7inch-single erscheinen werden!
