unsere welt ist bestimmt von gegensätzlichkeiten. licht und dunkelheit, gut und böse, heiss und kalt, hart und weich ... man könnte die liste ewig weiterführen und würde zu keinem ende kommen. absztrakkt und cr7z stellen sich der aufgabe einen kreis zu erschaffen, der all das vereint und es in einem gemeinsamen, großen ganzen umfasst. als einheit. sie lassen diese attribute auch manchmal in einem vollkommen anderen licht erscheinen und beleuchten die aspekte der dualität aus verschiedenen winkeln, indem sie sich unter anderem auf ihre tierkreiszeichen berufen. absztrakkt als waage (balance) und cr7z als fische (gegensätze) bewegen sich hier lyrisch in einer sphäre, wie sie so bisher noch nie in rapdeutschland erlebt wurde.

klangscheiben records is proud to present its frst vinyl release of a brand new series, a various artists compilation entitled „the fable“. while some tales start with “once upon a time“, this one begins with the candid rhythms and guileless synergy of german duo metaboman and large m’s “taverne master”. canadian minimal masterminds akufen and pheek each provide their own input: the former’s weaving synth-driven jazzy storylines, the latter’s a trip through fragmented instrumentals and a min-tech narrative. klangscheiben label boss demas shows his fangs with a brooding slow burner permeated by skin-crawling microsounds, a flow picked up by montreal producer magnanime’s “psychomagic master”. ark’s parable is awash with echoing vocal snippets and an addictive piano riff, melting into the strange sound of tom ellis, whose “shotgun” is at once stripped back and full of life. tomas jirku wraps up the release with “one monkey”, a glitchy, eccentric minimal piece that is as unpredictable as you’d expect from the vancouver producer. the moral of the story? listen and fnd out.

the virgo ep is the 4th of mutewax’s non-stop output, featuring french artist cømpass. vindemiatrix is a classy, uplifting peak-time track that sneaks up behind you. if you were thinking of leaving the dance floor. think again. spica lays heavy on the kick-drum & thick bass-lines. it’s a mind-winding trip which reveals a mature twist on the classic acid tweets. arcturus bounces joyfully across the dance-floor and picks up the pace with its hard-hitting acid notes and infectious rhythms. porrima beautifully stirs the emotions - the melodic rhythms predict a sweet future, yet it retains an atmospheric nostalgia for all things which must pass.

‘streetlight soul’ is the inaugural release on new imprint gnosis. this four track ep is the fifth myriadd record, following 12-s for crème organization, pinkman and signals. the past decade has seen releases from the artist under a variety of pseudonyms including acid phreex (djax-up-beats), mantra (bunker, abstract acid, solar one music) and monofonix (iwari, cataclyst). across the ep, myriadd remoulds the template of vintage chicago house, acid and deep house into his vision of modern house music. opening with midnight obsession , working a dark hypnotic bassline into an endless groove of crisp jacking drums and soul stirring melody, all primed for maximum effect at 4am when lost in the smoke and strobes. visions of love is driven by a juno bassline, a classic palette of tumbling, infectiously funky drums, warm, enveloping synth atmospherics and elevated by lush, celestial string work which comes off like some fantasy mr fingers + virgo psychedelic jam. the ep’s titular track goes deeper into the night with 909 claps, off-kilter snare hits, melancholy synth and ethereal melodies that ascend and dissolve into neon clouds. closer back to nature is a trip into blissed out, tropical house sounding like a lost balearic classic re-tweaked for the 21st century..

the fine folks at moton, that ll be diesel and jarvis, hook us up with something a little special this summer, slimming their usual 12inch format down into superb colored 7 s of edit delights. krypto is deeper than deep with an uptempo space disco number alive with expansive synth lines, funky clavs and intergalactic fx. flipping it over exotiq drops down a few gears for an eastern influenced synth trip in the true wonky cosmic style, all dub fx, off kilter melodies and chanted vocals. pressed on 7 inch limited red vinyl.

welcome back to the movielike resonating sound world of the 23s. already in 2008 the mysterious one-man band proofed with the album “bolivia” that they are trying to do another kind of music – something that isn’t entertainment, something that isn’t show, something that goes gently straight to your soul. now the producer from nord-rhine-westphalia did it again and tuned in the longplayer “flamingo”. anew he delivers a special kind of cinematic journey music that grooves opposite to his other, more rhythm based hypnotic dance productions. also as the 23s he produces pattern-based music, but it pursues a different intention: each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films that his inner eye creates unprejudiced. all ten tracks are romantic smooth operators. they put themselves in service of an artistic vision, in which the listener should get lost in music. the album can be seen as a love-letter to the movie scores of the french 70s cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements you can hear in the early cinema of peter greenaway. with double bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there and beats that recollect the warm jazz influenced soul of oldschool hip-hop the 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. you can listen to it attentive. or you can just play it in the back while doing whatever you like to do. it is recommended to play “flamingo” in a decent amount of volume as all loungey tracks begin to live bigger and brighter with sound intensity. if you play it flashy you will experience an atmospheric sometimes light-flooded, sometimes foggy 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls to fill the room between the notes with their very own milky fancy. soon the album will be accompanied by a bunch of remixes tuned in and twisted by producers like giegling and white artists edward, christian s of the cómeme tribe, canadian producer the mole and the german post rock and electronic music band to rococo rot.

when a label within thirteen catalog releases has only one of them branded as various artists, than the focus on this release seems to be really interesting. exactly that is the case with dreizehn and its three protagonists.

continuing on from vol 1 s theme of established artists working in disguise, music first vol 2 delivers another sonic assault with this absolute rollercoaster ride of a record. the mysterious scorpio t opens the ep with neptune rising , a squelching acid-bass boomer that can simultaneously spiritually elevate and physically devastate any dancefloor. rounding off side a it s followed by scandalous arthur s acid in my mind , a lo-fi tape-hissed jacking beast of a banger that sounds like it s genuinely been brewing in a vat of highly toxic acid for at least 25 years and guaranteed to melt your mind. on the flipside comes jax dax returning from vol 1 with the low-frequency moody slo-mo electro workout fucking computer that oozes bad attitude and booty-shaking basslines in equal abundance. bringing the trip to a close is kyrenic azalee with the self-titled kyrenic azalee , an x-rated new beat tour-de-force of epic proportions that will fry minds and bodies with its relentless energy. limited edition so don t sleep on it, not that it would let you.

second release for black angus records. dj soch s trip continues into the pulsing heart of house music. after the first release which explored the original forms of the sound of chicago, with this release he moves towards another declared love: 90 s new york underground house. everything is brought together by his original, personal touch and careful ear to the freshest sounds of our times. -street groove- is definitely influenced by the tracky sounds of the earliest masters at work, the most inspired todd terry and the most important releases for henry street records. a captivating sample, a drum machine roll and an entrancing bassline: pure house music! the remix by nicholas takes original elements and recomposes it transforming the whole into a persuasive and deep track without losing even a drop of groove. -kick & tom- is the rawest and most direct track in the ep. super funky techno, like a train without stops devastating the dance floor. dj soch is old school that meets new, there is no future without the past. black angus only for dj !

“footwork”—the very word indicates a movement of the feet that is “work” (as in an effort to achieve). its joyous social party nature sits within a lineage of african american history that includes the infamous soul train dance tunnel and hip hop dance circles. however, as footwork continues to become more popular, we should not forget that at its essence it is a highly evolved battle form. this is the central theme one feels listening to the stunning “fingers, bank pads & shoe prints,” the second album from rp boo, the man credited with inventing the footwork genre with a 1997 track “baby come on” (recently re-released on the planet mu ep “classics vol. 1”).

uber bring the new mushrooms project ep. a slight diversion for uber into the cosmic afro infused musical stylings that the mushrooms boys are masters. madrugada s tribal energy is reminiscent of tony esposito or tullio de picopo. the italian afrobalearic groove that we at uber love so much. the big boobs is a slower more contemplative track, still holding onto the percussive feel but with hints of the east. i suspect the title is influenced by last summers trip to the great outdoors in birmingham. finally we come to the epic musical journey that is african obsession. continuing the fine italian tradition of tribal dance music this is a tight superbly produced trip into afrocosmiche. 15 minutes of hypnotic beauty. uber hitting the spot again.

evan reiner aka gossamer macht elektronische musik, die von hip hop, hardcore und jazz guitar beeinflusst ist. reiner studierte an der berklee school of music film-sound und foley artistry (frei übersetzt: geräuschemachen). dabei streute er dann beispielsweise sand über schlagzeug-becken, oder nutzte gebrauchte patronenhülsen für percussion, was ihm eine ganz neue perspektive eröffnete. inspiration fand er bei künstlern wie ai weiwei oder maya duren. für sein debütalbum begann er während eines trips nach japan field recordings in tunneln oder unter einer brücke in l.a aufzunehmen. zu hause setzte er sich dann hin und *made accidents happen*. mit aufnahmegeräten, samplern, gitarren und analogen synthesizern. *automaton* ist eine präzise und sanftmütige traumlandschaft, die sich mal solcher musiker wie gas, boards of canada oder auch vangelis besinnt, wie auch brian enos und jon hassels album *fourth world*. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

kojiki groove is magnesiis second release on chronocircle. compared to his previous circle002, this is more of a club orientated 12inch rather than its hypnotic psych-techno predecessor. magnesii makes hypnotic music, preferably in a space out of time and reality. embracing the absence of computers and screens, the absence of any digital window into the world. some magnesii tracks form a conceptual whole, circle002 is an example of this: its a piece of music made to epitomize a psycho-dramatic hallucinate trip from the past. sounds to emulate saturated and hypnotic imagery

for their latest vinyl release, the tink! music label looks to lisbon and the enigmatic duo gatupreto, whose modo di trabadja 12betrays all manner of influences that seep beyond the realm of house music. in their own words, the art gatupreto generates is simple, unpretentious and sincere, it owes to the classic rave vibe as much as to the rawness of hip hop as much to the sunset of cape verde as to the sunrise of the lisbon riverside.this manifests itself in two understandably diverse productions from gatupreto with the heavily percussive workout of vahagn s closing remix of grandi loba of particular note.
