vier jahre haben sie sich zeit gelassen für den nachfolger von the king is dead . the decemberists, colin meloy, chris funk (gitarre), jenny conlee (keyboard), nate query (bass) und john moen (schlagzeug), entschlossen sich nach erfolgreichem tourende 2011, eine bandpause einzulegen und sich persönlichen dingen zu widmen. sie hatten mit the king is dead immerhin gerade ein album veröffentlicht, das in den us charts sofort auf platz 1 schoss und ihr song down by the water wurde für den grammy in der kategorie best rock song nominiert. aber ganz von der bildfläche verschwanden sie dann doch nicht. ihre animierten alter egos traten bei den simpsons auf, für den soundtrack von hunger games lieferten sie den song our engine , meloy veröffentlichte die prämierte kinderbuchserie wildwood und das livealbum we all raise our voices to the air , das ihre atemberaubende intensität auf der bühne widergibt, erinnerte uns immer wieder an die wunderbare band aus portland.

concept e25 is back! wax classic 15 sees concept e25’s third release on the label in the space of just a year! the demand has been overwhelming for more garage house hits with that added subtle, french flourish. we heard those cries, so here we have another slammin four track record from the man himself! the opening track of the ep, sing!, is destined for greatness this summer on dance floors everywhere. for me, this will be the go-to track of the record for most djs out there. on this track, concept e25 combines a pumping kerri style bassline with beautiful sustained chords, feel good vox cuts and the occasional sax line. proper hands-in-the-air vibes here! giving it takes the ep into a deeper realm, one that evokes images of late evening summer sunsets. however, the garage swing and signature concept e25 bass sound is still present. lies leads with moody chords before introducing a vocal that will be stuck in your head for a long time! again, we have a smooth sax line to accompany the vocal up to the track’s climax. rounding out this solid release is feel this way. here, the punchy bass hits are united with an acid line that bubbles underneath, before being unleashed halfway through the track in a warehouse-reminiscent burst of resonance.

refined selector and esteemed producer, steve braiden breaks out on his own with the off out label after some excellent releases for the likes of rush hour and joy orbison s now defunct doldrums label. its a good day when there is some new braiden productions to soak up, and hopefully the establishment of off out will see them appear with more regularity in the future. as an opening statement, apex of the sun s way is a powerful one indeed! the title track is characterised by the sort of rhythmic poise we have come to expect from a braiden production, with searing emotive textures rubbing up against some of the crispest drums heard this year. - solar poise- is equally memorable, with strange ghostly vocals trapped deep in the mix and an unpredictable synth careening around the channels.

the new year starts with a big banger. the italian mastermind behind the famous sonntag morgen records joins forces with the abstract animal zoo and delivers four uncompromising techno tools with that special peak time attitude. the ep starts with the slightly acidic bass line monster marmo and let you come down a bit with the reduced title track dreamers. on the flip side mtd invites you into his personal techno basement, closes the door and let the stormclaps break loose. after that you can feel the broken energy in rituals on b2.

with the bizarre feeling ep laying the sound for the subsequent fist year of the label, it is right jamie returns with ep#2 to move things forward with another twisted take on his unique mutoid-protoid-machine-funk-groove. starting with mad obsession you would be forgiven for thinking you ll have bizarre feeling part 2, with warped vocals - taken from late night, half asleep scribbled notes - and space echo haze, but let the percussion work-out trip you up and the stars in and before you know it things start going leftfild and then deeper with the free party sound system bass line shuffl of time nearly time. what he is on (about), no one knows. it is on the flp however that things take a darker turn. beyond the confession booth, down sharp stairs and dripping ceiling to a red light lit room of latter day late night blues.

slow town records has really picked up the pace this year, delivering essential 12- singles from riccio and qx-i, amongst others. here, they round of 2014 with an ep of positively edible deep house from fouk man hans peeman. in typical peeman fashion, there s plenty of soul to the liquid beats and rich chords of -prologue-, while -monologue- is an attractive saunter through classic detroit deep house with the restless energy of a chicago production. mr k-s remixes the title track, delivering a heavily percussive version that sounds like a plea to head towards the dancefloor, pronto. a touch darker and altogether heavier, it offers an excellent alternative to peeman s eyes-wide-shut original.
