its that time of year when thoughts turn to lazy afternoons down the beach, early evenings sat watching white isle sunsets and sticky nights of loved-up debauchery. in other words, it s the perfect time to dive into the latest volume in the consistet balearic compilation series. there s naturally much to admire in the now-familiar cafe del mar/cafe mambo style, from the horizontal, flute-laden samba shuffle of the madrigals the ride to the moon and shay lovers exceedingly drowsy black & white, to the warm chords and head-nodding beats of steve cobby s remix of tradewinds by penelope antena, and tropical exuberance of maajos musa paradisa. best of all, though, is mudd s impeccable mix for emma of zee erf s blissful cover of southern freeez, which is one of the most stunning tracks you ll hear all year.

having come up with an annual-ish drop of 12inches since 2010, even brenden aka chmmr set aside the spring of 2016 to challenge himself to a new format: a full-length album. a true nostalgic, he uses compass point-era and early italo sounds for inspiration and attempts to simulate these styles. this makes for a melodic, chuggy and graphic album that belongs a little more in the living room than on the dance floor. with 10 tracks of dusty rhythms and the honest, naive and spacious themes that is brendenÕs signature, its a record designed to signal that todays technological future may not be as different as yesterdays. features a nice-looking cover painting drawn by the late harold cohenÕs aaron program - automation at its finest. hidden behind his chmmr moniker is even brenden, whose summery debut found its way into the world via norwegian psych-disco label luna flicks in 2010. the record became somewhat of a soughtafter item and after making pit stops at relish, d¿dpop and untz untz records, he landed on prins thomas full pupp in 2014 and have stayed put ever since, all the while enjoying a steady habit of record jocking and the occasional keyboard duty in telephones now-defunct live band. even resides in oslo makes odd waves without vowels.

those of a certain vintage may have a soft spot for global underground s after hours series, which promised to soundtrack -the party after the club- by joining the dots between woozy progressive house, deep techno, electronica and, of course, ambient. some eight years after the last installment, the long-running club brand has decided to re-launch the series. apparently, this latest installment took a year to put together, and featured tweaked, edited and gently reworked tunes layered up for a more enjoyable listening experience. musically, it sticks to similar territory to previous installments, updating the sound a little via tracks and remixes from ewan pearson, lawrence, scuba, matrixxman, michael mayer and joris voorn.

dave clarke, britisches techno-urgestein der ersten stunde, trŠgt seine spannendsten remixes seiner jŸngsten, amsterdamer schaffensphase auf einem album zusammen. wie Ÿblich ist die vielfalt der original interpeten bemerkenswert und reicht von punk bis new beat und von aktuellen hip artists bis leider lŠngst aufgelšsten bands. dave clarke ist bekannt dafŸr, die original-intention der kŸnstler stets beizubehalten, obwohl er den tracks neue gewŠnder von techno bis electro, von aalglatt bis futuristisch und von dark bis heavy verpasst, was seine remixes fŸr fischerspooner oder depeche mode zu zeitlosen kult klassikern werden lie§. die soundpalette der kollektion charcoal eyes: a selection of remixes from amsterdam deckt diese gesamte stilistische bandbreite hervorragend ab.

anfang april veršffentlicht ninja tune das neue album des klanggenies ash koosha. zu sagen, dass ash koosha, ein im iran geborener und in london lebender electronic-musiker ist, kratzt lediglich an der oberflŠche dessen, was es Ÿber diesen bemerkenswerten mann zu wissen gibt. ein synŠsthetiker, der farben als tšne sieht, ein virtual reality pionier, ein software humanist, ein politischer kŠmpfer, ein ehemaliger rockmusiker und student der klassischen musik es gibt so viele seiten von ihm, wie es facetten in seiner fraktalen, komplexen, au§erordentlichen musik gibt. koosha arbeitet hauptsŠchlich mit seinen eigenen field recordings, behandelt jede gesampelte quelle als physikalisches objekt, er quetscht, streckt, verzerrt und formt soundeinheiten, bevor er einen hintergrund aus klassischer musik persisch und westlich hinzufŸgt, sicher auch ein †berbleibsel aus seiner zeit am teheran conservatory of music. das ergebnis strukturiert und formt er zu ergreifenden, originellen und oft wunderschšnen bewegungen ein prozess, den er als finden von geometrie in sounds bezeichnet. koosha hat schon mehr getan und erlebt, als die meisten kŸnstler in ihrer gesamten lebenszeit: so sa§ er im iran wegen seiner musik im gefŠngnis und musste in gro§britannien asyl suchen

nice price deal !!! concealed sounds are very proud to announce martinez fourth studio album, -o-pen-. it has been about four years since he released his -paradigm shift- on moon harbour, and during this time he been busy experimenting in his studio to come up with a very mature sound rooted in the musical output we ve seen lately on his 12- releases for concealed sounds as well as other labels. on -o-pen- the focus is not to make any concept around the tracks or the album itself, but just to have ten full compositions that each have their individuality and not necessarily is the same genre or style. you ll hear more melodies again and instruments, as well as analogue drum machines and modular synths that creates the soundscape of this album. a very organic album, including all sounds from the usual house & techno to more dub, ambient and even jazz influences. we are very excited to release this piece of work. early support from: zip, ricardo villalobos, raresh, s.a.m. & sylphe.
