spoiled drama reemerges exhibiting their darker side on -this is our mission-, their debut on the label embodiment of berlin s fleisch collective. the five track ep exhibits a unique range and dexterity, blurring lines between the realms of techno, ebm, acid and electro with a touch of maladjusted pop and post-punk. from the anxious beat and shimmering tones of -another death experience- to the ritualistic war drums and heavily distorted vocals of -kisses are out of fashion-, expect to feel dizzied, unnerved, yet beckoned to move. the eponymous track closes out the ep in an undeniably drexciyan fashion, low-pitched vocals emerging from watery depths in lush sweeping pads and dissonant melodies. a mission accomplished with style.

a story about a man separated from his group of travellers, lost in the amazon rainforest. he comes across a small settlement inhabited by people of a completely different mindset and way of living. they take him in and show him how to look at the world in an alternative way, which evokes an incredible revelation in him. he then goes off into the wilderness alone in search of his comrades, and everything is completely different to how he first perceived. this is extremely overwhelming and euphoric. he eventually finds himself at the top of a gigantic tree that stands tall as the sky, right at the crest of a majestic waterfall. as his journey peaks, he jumps from the tree into the water below. as he surfaces for air, things seem normal again. as is if it had never happened, but he knows something in him has changed. his companions are waiting at the bank of the river for him. he rejoins the group. as they head for basecamp, he realises there is no way that he will ever be able to express what he experienced that day. his journey is his own, and always will be.

daß die belgier humor und eine vorliebe für körperlichkeiten besitzen, weiß man spätestens seit ihrem 94er erfolgsalbum »voodoo-u«, welches dank des exquisiten artworks vor allem in den usa zunächst einige ernsthafte vertriebsprobleme sein eigen nannte.
»our little secret« dürfte es in dieser beziehung wohl etwas leichter haben, wenngleich sontitel wie »rubber doll«, »fingerlickin‹ good«, »pussy« oder »man s best friend« keinen hehl daraus machen, daß man die inhaltliche fixierung keineswegs geändert hat.
aber wozu auch?! passen das kreisen um sex, lust und obsessionen doch hervorragend zu ihrem brillanten gemisch aus industrial , techno, bigbeat und pop. sängerin jade 4u gibt die vokalsichere schlampe, während der rest der band spielsicher für zuweilen ironisierte härte sorgt.
alles, bloß keine langeweile verbreiten, scheint das motto gewesen zu sein. und so jagt ein grandioses musikstück das nächste, verwöhnt den hörer ein ums andere mal mit phantastischen refrains und bleibt dabei immer dicht am industrialisierten dancefloor.

almost a year has passed since the ghost of serena butler made its appearance on the realms of eerie - techno oddball marco shuttle’s label. now s/he and other beings gave birth to a new continuum, bene tleilax, where serena’s second ep, “from the cloud to our bodies”, has been conceived.
dub visions and found sound sculptures float over a maelstrom of skeletal techno remains, together with delicate melodies and vocal swarms from a realm where nothing is so sacred that it cannot be reengineered and transformed. this is a release which seizes alienation as impetus to generate new worlds while remaining still counter-trend to certain dark souls in modern electronic music. another biomechanical effort which sounds like the perfect nexus of fluid hopes and unparalleled roles.

it’s been 3 years since the last basic soul unit ep on lab.our and the label co-head is back to top form! loose, melodic and funky, the toronto producer stretches his legs across 4 tracks in this kaleidoscopic gem of an ep. on a1 is ‘behavoural issue’, a frenetic, crunchy and off-kilter number that will have you contorted in distortion with all arms and legs on the dancefloor. ‘rising over the east’ marches in next, a deep jacking head trip to the orient opium den with its endless arpeggiators. on the b-side, the heavy broken club banger ‘propulses’ harkens back to the glory rave days without mimicry. a basic soul unit interpretation with his undeniable footprint in the mix. ‘my heart skips’ turns the dial down several notches into deeper house terrain. the soulful ride begins as an easy cruise before deftly lurching into an odd rhythmic fractal workout that the producer has become known for. sealing an untouchable reputation in the world of broken soulful lo-fi techno, basic soul unit casts an even wider net to captivate audiences with this must-have ep.

delakeyz is swiss producer melodiesinfonieÆs moniker when taking a journey into more housey realms. on this voyage he explores his musical roots in three percussive-driven belters that still manage to maintain the subtle melodic textures that we all love from melodiesinfonies work. manchesters own contours (rhythm section int./ banoffee pies) picks up the more gentle tone of the original in his remix of walkingfree while moony mes (uncanny valley/ lagaffe tales) interpretation of our roots is a full-fledged club heater. early support by marcel vogel, harvey sutherland, s3a, chaos in the cbd, nachtbraker

after only 3 short years, my second album o u r w a l l s is out. it comes clad in vinyl, polycarbonate, bits and bytes and i’m very happy and relieved to finally let go of this one. the cores of its 10/11 (cd/2lp) tracks were developed on a loop pedal at home. lyrics spun here and there. almost all of them are trying to extract levels of meaning from an everchanging knot of emotions. they take their time - ranging between t h r e e m i n u t e s f o u r t y to t h i r t e e n m i n u t e s f i f t y s e v e n - to clinically isolate, examine and name the elementary building blocks constituting the knot. o u r w a l l s is about the ups and downs of your everyday-mercilessly-hopeless love relationship, about staying mild when things get rough, fabulous metaphors, childish selfdefence mechanisms, the burning space in b e t w e e n words and o u r very personal w a l l s that have so far always kept us safe..

the broken glass is a work conceived and produced between austria and spain and represents the eleventh reference of the catalogue of stoerung label. in this collaboration field recordings and synthesis processed by asferico create cyclical and hypnotic structures, which mia zabelka furnishes with her violin and voice. the lp version consists of two versions of the piece, the first more minimalist and conceptual and the second more rhythmical and synthesizer based. through a display of distorted and isolated sounds, we are driven in the first version into an deep listening, as if sounds where placed under a microscope or we were contemplating them through a telescope. this approach lets us perceive the bare physicality of sounds in a way which enables us to grasp subtleties and aspects of sound which we are not used to. the second version continues where the first version left us, but in this piece, we are eventually flooded by hypnotic loops, white noise and synthesis and the experience has a different flavor. now what we have acquired through the first version, the enhancement of our listening and appreciation of subtleties of sounds, is inserted into a rhythmical structure which acts as a strong current, pulling us inside an ocean full of astonishing sounds.

returning from the italian excursion of vol. 13 before the u.k. pulls up the proverbial drawbridge, neil diablo delivers another to rack & ruin winner live and direct from the northern powerhouse. showing some love for the finer half of the county, neil presents the best the north east has to offer, enlisting our friends from the north yorkshire s craig bratley and newcastle s james hadfield to do the damage on this slick split 12inch.

highly limited 10- dubplates. following on from medium’s hugely successful 6th chapter in our project mohawk series, we waste no time gearing up for number 7, and make no mistake, it’s one of the biggest. for the next instalment, we handed the creative reigns to kaset. already treasured as one of our brightest talents, he showcased his early abilities in the edm.com premiered ‘contour’ from our musical currency volume 3 compilation, but that alone was the briefest insight into what would follow. more a mini album than an ep, kaset presents seven tracks of what we feel is his finest music to date. each track stands up to objective scrutiny in its own right, but together they form a body of work that few can deny is seriously on point. this is an ep for the heads, the only punches it pulls are bass laden ones to the solar plexus. those out looking for the freshest of deep beats, it’s time to load up, you’ve just found them!

4 heady techno explorations from toronto producer aberdeen.

fresh from live performances at bonobo’s outlier festival, the quietus stage at the great escape, and supporting max cooper, london-based production virtuoso guy andrews revisits his acclaimed debut album ‘our spaces’. informed by audience reactions at these shows, he takes two of the lp’s standout tracks and reconfigures them for the dancefloor, with devastating results. meanwhile two like-minded artists tackle the album’s lead single ‘in autumn arms’. max cooper crafts a formidable collage of idm textures, with staccato beats punctuating the lilting guitar riff, whilst dj mag’s former ‘best breakthrough producer’ ben pearce takes the track into the main room, turning in an elemental 4/4 floor-burner.

torontos own maxwell church returns to lab.our with 3 stunning techno excursions.

houndstooth präsentiert das debütalbum des aufsehen erregenden jungtalents guy andrews. dieser ignoriert gängige dj-strukturen, tempi und mixdowns und erzeugt aus präziser percussion und schwankenden verzerrungen ein werk, das trotz - oder gerade wegen - des paradigmenwechsels der zeit stand hält. dabei erreicht die klangliche aggression der 12 tracks eine sensibilität und zielstrebigkeit, die dem album eine tiefe verleiht, die üblicherweise auf albumlänge schwierig durchzuhalten ist.
