re-issued again, with new liner notes. a wonderful, rare record wrapped in a mysterious yet playful ambiance. or maybe it s just the impression that the japanese language often gives me. suiren is an odd jazz-fusion-wave tune that sounds like its boiling, waiting to burst but somehow manages to stay in control. like the nervous tick of a leg fidgeting under the table of a restaurant on a first date. yasuaki shimizu is a japanese composer, producer and saxophone player born in 1954. he worked with ryuchi sakimoto on certain arrangements, with the south korean artist nam june paik on art+sound installation pieces and even dj towa tei (of deee-lite fame). suiren was released in 1981 and is the opening title on the sought-after kakashi album and is my personal favorite on this overall brilliant record. it weaves behind new wave, jazz, fusion, ambient and experimental music.

since jim coles took on the mantle of om unit, the english producer has sought to challenge himself and his audience by going beyond the confines of genres and styles he has so far explored. in the process he has found success by striving for more feeling, for a more human and daring electronic music. this journey continues with ÔselfÕ, colesÕ third album as om unit and a true follow-up to his 2013 debut ÔthreadsÕ.
ÔselfÕ captures coles in a period of growth, change, and experimentation. inspired by personal psychological and emotional healing work, and a vision of the self as an egg Ñ which coles later on discovered is a jungian archetype Ñ the album blends dubwise, bass-heavy music with the space of experimental ambient compositions and the daring imagination of a cold wave science fiction soundtrack.
the first om unit album on colesÕ own cosmic bridge label, ÔselfÕ offers new forms amid familiar touches. stripping away what people might expect, coles deconstructed and reimagined his work so far as a challenge to himself and, in turn, to his fans.

following on from the 2015 return to the frey real ibiza returns to the white isle for the 2016 edition of the benchmark balearic compilation -real ibiza volume 9-. first launched in 2000 real ibiza was one of the first wave of ibiza / balearic inspired compilations. a cornerstone of the genre alongside the caf̩ del mar series. real ibiza gets inside the balearic bloodstream by mixing in downtempo sensibilities, mellow house, cool jazz and plentiful doses of evening sun-washed grooves. for episode 9 bahamian dj loudery returns to sample the delight and mood of balearic music worldwide. as is the formula for real ibiza the zeitgeist is all ibiza whereas the particpants int the music hail from locations all over the word. first up we head to prague to sample the 30 piece string section of the prague philharmonic orchestra with czech producer sonority setting a mellow introducing tone with the cinematic -virtus-. its then a trip to the other side of the world for australian producer gary b to set things on a dreamy plateau with his bass guitar driven -better life-. next it is some unabashed sunshine groove with the lazy trumpet, sunshine piano and -boys of summer- guitar with -isla paradisco- from steven solveig.

it was in february 2015 when japanese producer and sound designer kuniyuki takahashi, sometimes known as koss, releases with the ep ™newwave project ¾2š a record, that tapped some roots of his mu-sical education: new wave, german electro punk from bands like a daf, ebm from acts like front 242 as well as industrial music. styles, about kuniyuki claims that they are his ™favourite musicš. now, nearly two years after his first newwave project ep, he drops an album that is leaning towards his musical love from the past. com-pared to his former work, that was rooted in worlds of classic, jazz, house, ambient, and electronic song-writing, his new tunes are full of melodic drifts and rhythmical shifts. as usual all is loaded with tones and rhythms straight from the heart that filter and modulate human emotions without losing their natural source. to get a sound that is fresh but still leaning to the 1980ees, he used some old synthesisers like a roland jupiter 8, a juno 60, a korg ms 20, an old tape echo machine but also new instruments like the roland aira. furthermore, his modular synthesizers talk too.

for sasha funkes new tracks he used several kind of gear Ð from a korg arp odyssey to a dave smith prophet 8, moog voyager, solina string keyboard or a yamaha pacifica guitar. stylistically his new orchestra lead him to a mesmerizing meltdown of trance, techno, synth-wave, post-punk and ambient parti-cles.

the only time you wear a tuxedo is when its time to party. so says legendary west coast player snoop dogg on the opening track of tuxedo ii. the blessing of the doggfather is of special importance to mayer hawthorne and jake one, whose second album as a duo finds them at the forefront of a new wave of gangster boogie one that owes as much to g-funk as p-funk. this is the territory of pre- and post-hydraulic low riders: a mŽlange of cali boom-bap, analog synth bass and elegant disco that resonates truth and authenticity in an era where so many are faking the funk

peripheral minimal is proud to announce the forthcoming album, aus den anti-imperialistischen tagebu&#776,,,chern , by in namen des volkes. indv is the brainchild of hamburg resident matthias schuster (also of bal pare, das institut,geisterfahrer and others), and creates a more heavy-weight style of minimal synth in the spirit of d.a.f., or even early front 242. the tracks were taken directly off cassettes and reworked with added vocals, whilst maintaining the original 80s recording techniques of 4-track and purely analogue instrumentation, strictly no plug-ins or digitalism here! matthias has been actively producing complex synthetic sounds since the late 1970s, having released seminal albums and singles on respected labels such as, plastic frog, minimal wave and medical records. his passion for all things analogue seems to be irrepressible, devoting a considerable amount of time to myriad projects each with their own unique qualities and sonics. he musically switches from neue deutsche welle stylings, to minimal synth and proto-ebm with great dexterity and a rare continuing dedication. the album is presented in a luxurious digipak and limited to 300 copies. recorded between 1980 - 2015. artwork by kilgore trout.
