five years after his last album release luke slater returns to ostgut ton with a new planetary assault systems longplayer, titled arc angel. after 22 light-years luke slaterÕs planetary assault systems keeps exploring space and time with different musical means. staying true to the projectÕs initial mission statement, slater comments on the new yet familiar musical direction: Òfor me music has to go forward. iÕd feel i was cheating by sticking to tried and tested formulas. thereÕs a valid use for these, but this album has its own agenda.Ó with arc angel, planetary assault systems departs to new musical frontiers by focussing on melody, but staying rooted in the purist values of techno that slater shaped over his decades- and generations-spanning career.

nice price deal !!! from album opener >underground< the sonic spectrum unfolds over the ensuing 12 tracks to leave the listener in no doubt that this is the rawest and most direct record das pop have ever recorded. gone are the synthesizers and sequencers of previous albums, to be replaced with the simple sound of three musicians in a studio. as stephen daewale put it: theyre such a brilliant live band that we wanted to capture that on tape. so we literally just recorded them playing together in a room. and because theyre such good musicians and songwriters, the results sounded amazing.

die großen hits der rocksteady-Ära von duke reid sind auf diesem album zusammengefasst. auf 180g vinyl gepresst und von den original-masterbändern gemastert, ist diese rarität nach mehreren jahrzehnten nun wieder auf vinyl erhältlich. seit den 60er jahren produzierte duke reid auf jamaika ska und rocksteady. sein tonstudio war die erste anlaufstelle für diesen sound, das label trojan (auf dem diese compilation erscheint) hat sich nach dem soundsystem-truck von duke reid benannt. duke reid liebte amerikanischen jazz und blues und ließ diese leidenschaft in die produktionen einfließen. seine produktionen gelten bis heute als weit ausgefeilter als die der konkurrenz. diese kopplung enthält jede menge raritäten, aber auch welt-hits wie “the tide is high” von den paragons.

berlins cult techno duo exercise one release their newest 12inch featuring 3 tracks. one track reminiscent of the past, one track gazing at the future and a time defying remix by locked groove.timetrap has always been the dark horse of exercise ones back catalog, so they decided to go back to the original idea of the track and see where they could take it. a few sessions later their ears were happy and timetrap 2016 was born. the staccato groove and eerie hook of the original now live in a much more powerful and demanding surrounding. exactly what they where looking for.

greg belson s divine disco is a snapshot in time encapsulating the raw power of a spiritual performance, set to the pulsating 4/4 rhythms that were in vogue with the dance floors of the day. tip! labels like savoy played a key part in identifying artists that fit nicely into this brand new style with performers like shirley finney and the gospelaires, both of whom were established within the scene, but carried the disco torch brightly with their tunes featured here. divine disco also paints a picture of the lesser known acts that privately released their message to the hopeful masses, such as the gospel ambassadors and the inspirational souls, whose recording budgets would have been significantly less than any major label.

after making some massive claims regarding electronic music last year which caused a stir in the dance music community, mat zo had a lot to live up to with his long awaited second album self assemble. what didnt help was the fact that his first album, damage control was critically acclaimed by many within dance music and is now considered a modern-day masterpiece with mesmerising tracks such as the sky and the massive easy with porter robinson.

sound and rhythm are effective means of individuals self-defence in face of chaotic steamroller of everyday life. hiding in a familiar yet simultaneously hardly recognisable parallel space does not have to result from the need of escaping the world or nurturing one’s ego. too many times to mention, music appearing under recognition imprint served as a peculiar type of a vehicle of survival and a tool for internal transformation. hideland, new record by polish electronic music producer jacek sienkiewicz is released precisely year after drifting, which largely explored tropes of classical club techno sound. eight (nine in extended cd version) tracks comprising this album go beyond easy-to-pigeonhole genres, creating a microcosm of utopian sound constructs. surprisingly unobvious and precisely composed release could be fascinating both for loyal fans and for new listeners looking for threads of experimentalism. its another intriguing proposal in jacek sienkiewiczs growing discography, but above all - a laboratory where dreams and artistic visions metamorphose into concrete reality.

philipp gorbachev’s sophomore solo album continues the narrative of his previously released trilogy on cómeme, and serves as the inaugural lp on his own pg tune imprint. from imaginary places like the delta, down to the dirty district, and with reverence for the heritage of the russian avant ­ garde, ‘unlock the box’ pictures a static and demodulated dance floor. welcome to the 5th new century.

kris- & konflikthantering is swedish for crises and conflict management, as well as a course at university guiding you how to manage scenarios involving crises and strategies in handling conflicts. this album was put together while harald was taking this course. this album was made during semi-unconscious conditions and is an emotional transcription of experiences to the language of sequences and frequencies. the soundscape is a warm fuzzy travel from krauty basslines, vocal fragments and mantras through echoes and reverberating tunnels with shimmering arpeggios, field recordings and programed patterns in ancient japanese roland techniques. all recorded on the studer b67 master tape recorder, the heart of the kranglan broadcast studio.

largely sequencer-based composition practices opened up barera s usual hand-playing approach and allowed him to create rich and melodic, yet precise and powerful techno. -the opportunist- conjures images of arriving in darkness, taking what you can, and leaving quickly to avoid detection. -discipline- is barera s full-on workout, with all the rushes associated, itself very much a product of discipline. -a new future- suggests an optimistic if uncertain outlook, a world where anything is possible, while -last glacial maximum,- which refers to a period in the earth s history when ice sheets were at their most recent maximum extension, represents a somewhat bleaker view. the musically kindred spirits behind massachusetts-based mentha records are ideal partners in this project, warmly embracing barera s wide-eyed techno concepts.

180gr vinyl, download code & poster ! from a festival to a feature to friendship, from techno to electronica to a band. in this manner towards twitter compatibility, one may describe eating snow s previous path, which has really just begun for douglas greed and mooryc, with only few characters. the two of them met in 2010 at a festival in poland, only shortly afterwards the joint tracks -pain- and -morning gloria- developed, which can be listened to on douglas greed s debut album krl. however, dougi and mooryc weren t just in tune with each other quickly, they also automatically arrived at a common sound despite their different musical roots, which ranges from sensual indietronica to powerful house right up to perfectly grooving pop moments.

great insight into japanese pop music!

mit seinem außergewöhnlichen debütalbum *crafted* beweist madato, furchtlos und über jedes mittelmaß erhaben, seine begabung, die eigenen musikalischen wurzeln mit neuen horizonten fließend zu verschmelzen. in *crafted* laufen die ausdrucksformen aber nicht einfach nur hand in hand nebenher: vielmehr jongliert madato spielend durch instrumente, maschinen und vocals mit elementen aus techno, disco und post-punk. das ergebnis: ein album wie aus einem guss, das bei aller reminiszenz den dancefloor nicht eine sekunde aus den augen verliert.

fźr seine 500.000 einwohner hatte das nšrdlich von brasilien gelegene surinam schon immer eine lebhafte musikszene. obwohl international weitestgehend unbekannt, hat das kleine land einen starken einfluss auf die niederlande, wo viele surinamesen leben. das land ist fźr den musikstil kaseko, der aus der traditionellen kawina musik entstanden ist, sowie seinen soul bekannt. aber auch pop, jazz und funk wurde gespielt. zwischen 1976 und 1983 wurde eine vielzahl an hochkarŠtigen soul, boogie, disco und funk-songs eingespielt, die auf der kindred spirits compilation surinam! boogie & disco funk from the surinamese dancefloor 76-83 versammelt waren. sumy war mit soul with milk vertreten
