usually, the purpose of a piece like this is to tell other writers, music mag editors, distribution people and record shop clerks why they should like a certain release and buy, hype, review it. often these encomiums are not really honest and sometimes you even feel like attending an attempt to sell a flat tire. as for i:cubes new longplayer m megamix things are – of course! – very different. being its fifth solo album, an introduction of a man like nicolas chaix or even his biography (another popular brick of sales sheets) seems rather unsuitable. if you dont know what you should know, just use your internet search engine with any of these terms: chateau flight, versatile records, french touch, disco cubizm or parisian prodigy.

the production outfit of daniel varga, michael kuebler and sascha hedgehog, earned their dance music stripes around the turn of the millennium with a series of strong releases, most notably on frankfurt-based techno institution playhouse. describing their musical aesthetic as cabaret-independent-house, the act forged a distinct sound that combines icy minimal structures with catchy euro-girl vocals, anglo-french funk antics and a dash of dancefloor melancholy. this summer, rework return to the fray with a two-sided affair for paris-based meant records that shows they have not lost the electric energy that characterised their earlier work.

following on from torquato and boghosians acclaimed debut on yoruba is this, a selection of remixes diverse and interesting enough to do justice to the original lp, which received praise for the rich tapestry of musical sources it drew influence from. first up, afefe iku delivers a much deeper, weightier version of paradice laden with heavy synth stabs and woody percussive elements. aybee takes when u touch me - probably the standout club track on the original lp – into much deeper realms, stripping back the original groove . its remarkably simple but flawlessly executed, the chord motif working effortlessly alongside the crisp hats. atone tackles zulu girl and in the process unravels a much more mechanical track, a massive mid-tempo thud dominating over delayed cymbal crashes and ghostly vocals. overall - a darker vibe and a truly timeless collection of remixes.

auf >breakthrough< verschmilzt kalifornisch-inspirierter psych mit einflüssen aus aller welt. durchdrungen von ominösen und verzerrten tönen sowie entfesselten drums ist >breakthrough< vielmehr als eine sammlung von beats - hier fusionieren elektronik, psychedelic-pop, funk/soul, hip hop und dubstep zu etwas eigenständigen und aufregendem neuen. gastaufritte von gonjasufi, adrian younge, dimlite, daedelus, samiyam oder computer jay machen >breakthrough< zu einer reise der kreativen verbundenheit und einer stammes-zeremonie mit einem gefühl von gemeinschaft, welches den stellenwert der kollektiven erfahrung für the gaslamp killer wiederspiegelt. mit >breakthrough< gelingt the gaslamp killer eines der spannendsten debütalben in 2012!

das kalifornische balearic disco/westcoast-rock duo woolfy vs projections präsentiert den nachfolger seines 2008er-albums >the astral projections of starlight< als 12 inch lp, inklusive cd-version. >the return of love< wirkt wie ein stelldichein von bryan ferry, den wings und david crosby, vermischt mit dubbigen disco-sounds und einem entspannten vibe, der gleichermaßen auf ibiza wie an der amerikansichen westküste zuhause ist. aufgenommen wurde das album in den kalifornischen bergen. es ist musik, die wie eine zeitgenössiche form psychedelischen westcoast-rocks klingt. der song >nina< etwa, entstanden in zusammenarbeit mit dem hamburger disco- und house-produzenten tensnake, steht einen guten peyote-trip sicherlich in nichts nach.

das erste treffen der vier bandmitglieder nach einer langen auszeit fand in texas statt, als man sich die zeit nahm, sich als alte freunde wieder anzunähern und als musiker wieder auf eine wellenlänge zu kommen. entsprechend fällt das grandiose ergebnis aus. zum ersten mal schreiben grizzly bear neue songs gemeinsam, zum ersten mal singen die beiden sänger ed droste und daniel rossen gemeinsam, alle titel tragen die handschrift jedes einzelnen der vier mitglieder. so geschlossen und eindringlich hat man diese band noch nie zuvor gehört. shields enthält einige der grössten und mutigsten tracks, die grizzly bear je geschrieben haben, die ihren unbedingten willen zur ehrlichen, ungefilterten gefühlsäusserung offen vermitteln. der grizzly bear-kosmos hat seinen neuen höhepunk

michael ozone, the character whos just dropped his debut offering for the esp institute this july, is back with a remixed version of his jungle-tuff >perfect systems ep<. on side a, steve summers (a name thats been up in your face over the last year, and one of the key figures in our cousins l.i.e.s. camp) has taken perfect systems for an imperfect ride, jacking it up as expected while keeping the somewhat sinister mood of the original. on the flip, young marco (who has become quite a resident at the esp institute) strips down hetrotopia to its core, letting you realize how a well-programmed track can maintain its melodic and hypnotic sense, even when all thats left is percussion.

at the end of 2006, erol alkan was at a crossroads. he’d been voted dj of the year by mixmag. he’dmade landmark, expectation-defying remixes for bands he loved: a crunching “glam racket” reworking of ‘do you want to’ for franz ferdinand, a wonderfully wistful reinterpretation of hop chip’s ‘boy from school’, a psychedelic take on scissor sisters’ ‘i don’t feel like dancing’ and a genre-defining reworking of justice’s ‘waters of nazereth’.

jonathan boulet liefert mit seinem zweiten album auf australiens bestem indielabel modular einen energiegeladenen ausbruch an melodien und harmonien auf unablaessiger, archaischer rhythmik. hier verschmelzen chorgesaenge, drums auf speed und rhythmische perkussion zu einem bombastischen power-pop, der an die besten tagen von julian cope und the teardrop explodes erinnert.

mit dem ehemaligen alexisonfire-frontmann wade macneil haben gallows einen großartigen nachfolger rekrutiert. gemeinsam veröffentlichen sie am 07.09.2012 das erste studioalbum in neuer besetzung - das insgesamt dritte full-length album. in wade macneil hat die band einen ausgezeichneten ersatz gefunden, denn seine live-performance gilt als legendär. das im september erscheinende album >gallows< belegt, dass die fünf weiterhin einzigartig in ausdruck und kraftvoller dynamik sind. vom ersten moment an waren gallows eine ungewöhnliche band für die britische rockszene. 2005 ist die hertfordshire crew aus der britischen untergrund punk-szene entstanden. ihre einflüsse kamen stets vom amerikanischen hardcore - refused, at the drive-in, jr ewing - die für den brachialen und typisch tobenden sound einer unzufriedenen jugend stehen. das album erscheint auf ihrem eigenen label venn records, aufgenommen im sommer 2012 in watford von thomas mitchener und steve sears. inklusive code für freien mp3-download des albums.

dear you, so why am i starting a label? i guess i am trying to centralize my output. give it all some kind of unity. my friend jon berry (who works at kompakt and is running the label with me) has been bugging me for ages to do it and now seems the time. i ve had a great run thus far with all my buddy s labels, and i dont think i will stop as long as they still want me. but for the time being it made sense somehow that i do my own thing. give it a name - maybe tomorrow - and a face - vinyl.
