more extra-terrestrial, technoid vibrations from the iii river nucleus. this latest transmission delivered by the one and only hakim murphy, and received through biosynthesized artefacts planted on earth by the higher civilizations during the great experiment. reports of strange noises in the sky have been circulating since 2010, posing many questions as to their origin. secretly, iii rivers have been communicating with the space beings, securing their place in the interstellar shangri-la when at last we finally transcend the cosmos.

what’s in a name? oakland, ca’s mwahaha answers that question with a smirk, but the sounds that emanate from their forthcoming debut album are no joke. psychedelic ebb & flows, electronic undercurrents, and elated pop flourishes bring into focus an attention to detail that’s staggering.

die stecker wurden gezogen, die drums in der garage gelassen – hansonis kommt heuer auf ganz leisen sohlen daher. akustikgitarre, zurückgenommener gesang und ein paar tupfer e-gitarre, klavier und keyboards – mehr benötigt der musiker nicht, um “shark week“ zu einer zwingenden angelegenheit zu machen. von folk über country und blues bis hin zur mörder - ballade – hansonis schlendert auf seiner melancholischen reise durch die songwriter-genres, veredelt seine songs aber immer wieder durch die entscheidende prise distinguierten 80er-pops. hier ein unwiderstehlicher melodiebogen, da eine prägnante phrasierung – der kölner vermählt us-amerikanische musik - traditionen mit einem britisch geprägten popverständnis und dreht am ende sein ganz eigenes ding draus.

following a busy year of stylistically varied releases under various guises on his own magic + dreams label, ralph cumbers delivers his first long-player for punch drunk. with a title lifted from the lysergic prose of a brian aldiss novel and grooves informed by the loopier, more martian aspects of chi-town jack and detroit techno-soul, >reeling skullways< marks a subtle, but highly alluring development in the evolution of cumbers primary recording project. long-term bass clef fans may be surprised by the lack of samples on this album, and in many ways it follows a similar creative process to his recent work as some truths, with most rhythms and textures sculpted from the raw, elemental waveforms of modular analogue synthesis. but with tighter editing, contagious melodies and perfectly positioned drum patterns, the end results reveal bass clef simultaneously at his most stripped-back, focused, playful, complicated, emotional and irresistibly groovy. unfettered by fashionable production tricks, imbued with a timeless machine-soul heart, >reeling skullways< is one of those albums you will be reaching for again and again.

where the river turns black, is the first international album by copenhagenresident and musician katrine ottosen aka call me kat. call me kat are adorably intense and mesmerizing songs, an enchanting melancholic, almost translucent drift into this sonic world best described as alternative pop, music that gives spoken word of the ever expanding danish music scene of now. songs that adapt a fine line between organic instrumentation and that very specific sound of her voice, which although completely its own tends to remind at times on other playful ladies in music like bj¿rk, feist oder lykke li.earlier works with reknown producers valgeir sigurdsson (bj¿rk, mum, sigur r—s etc.) or joe magistro (prophet omega) on the current album have certainly had their share on this.

the great follow-up album to >the seldom seen kid< comes as limited edition double 12 inch, cut on 45rpm and delivered in gatefold cover

massive trippy techno release by swedish rising star van rivers and it rocks like hell! van rivers worked as producer on the debut album of fever ray (karin dreijer from the knife) and also tours with her live band. his previous releases on stockholm ltd and islands & islets got big support from marcel dettman, josh wink, ryan elliot, joey beltram and this release will surely follow. stretched out on pavement is a deep, punchy and trippy techno piece for the floor as well as the mind, like you may expect from a sd records release. the nukubus remix on the b side takes everything into the pumping techno/electro arena with a soulful, spacey edge to it. both mixes are spot on and will rock many floors. big one!
