the third time is the charme...thatÕs right. thus, the joy about the third album by marek hemmann is huge. likewise, the third album is perceived as an important brand which ought to show the actual extent of a musicianÕs potential. either hold oneÕs ground or dare something new? marek hemmann is not deterred by such expectations. he was merely in the mood for new tracks. the eight newcomers on ÒmomentsÓ sound accordingly - easygoing, detached and characterised by the same profoundly and harmonically balanced musicality for which marek hemmann is world-renowned. anyhow, a Òjust continue as beforeÓ mentality is not an option for the berliner by choice - from the beginning, his music effort- lessly blurred the established genre lines. in this vein, his new work is influenced by a great candour. as already accomplished with his highly esteemed albums Òin betweenÓand ÒbittersweetÓ, in ÒmomentsÓ marek hem- man takes the listeners - and certainly the dancers - on a journey through different spheres of contemporary electronic music.

much-celebrated kompakt staple the field returns to the spotlight with new album the follower, his fifth full-length offering after from here we go sublime (kompakt rsd 02 cd 57), yesterday and today (kompakt 193 cd 72), looping state of mind (kompakt 241 cd 94) and cupids head (kompakt 290 cd 110). swedish soundsmith axel willner is well-known for his mastery when it comes to the allusive layering of loops, but it was with his last album cupids head that a newly-found, somewhat pressing snappishness started to replace the soft-hued sonics of his ambient-infused techno, imbued with a darker mood and stronger footing than before. a carefully gauged balance of stoic motorik and gloomy drones was key here - just as it is for the follower which goes even further in blurring the lines between concrete experimentation, body music and precisely laid-out arrangement, leading to one of the most rhythmically and texturally engaging listening experiences in willners catalogue.

industry sheds all personalized effort and tests how far you can get by using presets only. all sounds are factory presets of 3 obsolete 1990s japanese workstation synths, all effects are presets, all notes are quantized and most panning is purely accidental (laid out in the preset sounds). industry doesnt rely on successful presets, but on failed sounds of now obsolete synthesizers - industrial assumptions of where culture will go, but where it chose not to. the result is a surprisingly pleasant listening experience with effortless grooves and rich textures - and mildly demonic connotations. from smooth to kicking - a conveyor belt enjoying mood swings. as beautiful as the scheduled meeting of a pvc sheet and a thermoform mould on a workbench

on moving to canada from his original home of haiti, pianist and singer/songwriter henri-pierre noel brought with him much of the tropical island s influences. the kompa funk sounds of his homeland, along side contemporary north american jazz and disco, ran throughout henri s 1979 album piano, re-released by wah wah 45s in 2012, and now its time for a second helping with the re-issue of 1980s dance floor friendly one more step, both albums having been originally released on very limited private presses and since become holy grails of the back music scene.

cd in 6-panel digipak printed in three pantone colours. featuring all-new material and recorded in the bands isolated studio on the edge of the essex marshes, the album ebbs and flows in mood like the nearby blackwater estuary. working with a palette of vintage drum machines, analogue synths, textural samples, acoustic recordings, electric bass & heavily treated guitar, the songs were born out of captured live studio performances.

phil weeks is a house music purist. whether djing or producing, the parisian with the huge personality delivers raw beats influenced in equal measure by classic chicago house and nu-school french flair, underpinned with a hip-hop attitude. his long running robsoul recordings also defines him as one of the most skilled label heads in underground house music
