hot on the heels of his inaugural release in january, braiden introduces slewis, a new producer on his emerging off out label. after years of honing his craft in the studio and playing in experimental bands, london born slewis makes his mark on his debut with two equally bold dancefloor cuts. group v opens with an extended twisting cacophony of synthesizers before breaking down into metallic driving machine funk. on the flip, despot delves deeper down the rabbit hole as ebm influenced sounds and syncopated claps dance around a bed of paranoia, leading to a tense breakdown populated by a flurry of spasmodic drums.

*the shakes* is matthew herberts first album under the name herbert since 2006s dark orchestral disco fantasy *scale* (k7!). the album deals with intensely personal issues such as raising young children against a backdrop of an increasingly unstable world and, amongst other things, utilizes the sound of used bullets and shells from ebay as part of its soundscape. herbert himself suggests that the record can be seen as a treatise on how *music helps to motivate, provide respite and divert us from the challenges of the everyday* and that it is *electronic music for the soul*.
the double vinyl lp comes in gatefold sleeve and includes a download code for the full album plus 4 bonus mixes.

its winter in detroit and fit siegel has given us * carmine*, a moody techno classic perfect for the lonely season. subtle, low-key and thumping, the title track revolves around a bittersweet piano lead, elegiac 303 and blade runner string swells. its a high-tech driving song in the tradition of model 500s low-key classic * pick up the flow* and fit sounds more assured than ever. * first found* is mills-ian jigsaw puzzle techno imbued with breathy and addictive humanity. stacatto, free-jazz informed piano solos lock into ping-pong synths -- eventually, a female vocal emerges over a bed of arpeggiated bass. loose yet robotic, * first found* is first-rate detroit techno mysticism. the record as a whole is a worthy entry into the motor citys storied canon from a leader of the new school.

*i cant even afford bed linen, let alone a 909*. the unpretentious of jay donaldson is disarming in many different ways. we consider donaldson aka palms trax to be one of the most promising new artists to date. his sound situates him firmly along the chicago-detroit axis, cooking up pad-driven jams, off kilter drums and hazy synths that shift like a gentle musical tide. in 2013 he inaugurated the lobster theremin label, the london-based imprint that quickly became one of the most talked about record labels around. when not travelling the world for prime-time gigs donaldson holds a residency at the widely respected berlin community radio. it is with great pleasure that we welcome golden boy palms trax to dekmantel records.

there are things in life which are suitable and things in life which aren t suitable. the things which are suitable should be ignored and left for those who enjoyed being tucked into bed and being walked across the street with their hands being held. the things which aren t suitable are what you will probably have some fun with despite the bumps and bruises suffered as a result. the suitable nature of the unsuitability of the following cheek full of tongue provided by scott robinson, ben pest, nox, and norman mueller will hopefully not cause any permanent damage along the way.

>> oh it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. the trombones crunched redgold under my bed, and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise silverflamed, and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out again crunched like candy thunder. oh, it was wonder of wonders. and then, a bird of like rarest spun heavenmetal, or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now, came the violin solo above all the other strings, and those strings were like a cage of silk round my bed. then flute and oboe bored, like worms of like platinum, into the thick thick toffee gold and silver. i was in such bliss, my brothers.<

medical records presents its second contemporary artist release with roladex. imagine kraftwerk playing steven merritt songs. using an arsenal of analog instruments, roladex nostalgically borrows ideas from music of the past to carefully craft a unique brand of futuristic-mechanized pop, with an emphasis on songwriting and layered production. weaving sparse, sequenced arpeggios into fuzzy bass and bubbly melodies to create a bed of sound where they layout a somehow bright melancholia.

pascal blanché, wojtek kutschke and vocalist lukas polocze – better known as chasing kurt –originally released this track on their album of the same name. now * from the inside* has been given the remix treatment by some of worlds most respected house producers. first up is legendary german artist henrik schwarz, who has a knack for making every one of his productions as exciting as the next. his rendition of * from the inside* is no anomaly as he demonstrates his sublime approach to music making by using analogue bass stabs and violin bowing before floating atmospheric synths emerge to take centre stage. konstantin sibolds mix is a completely different beast altogether, using denser kick drums and haunting claps as the bed for reverberating vocals and a bouncy hook

following a slew of acclaimed releases on left blank and tri angle, as well an album with the much lauded young echo collective, vessel debuts on the burgeoning liberation technologies imprint with three diverse cuts of inimitable off-kilter electronics. *misery is a communicable disease* serves as a euphoric opener, primed for moments of escapism on or off the dancefloor with resonant hats and an exultant synth line laid bare upon a bed of gauzy pads and valve-warmed kicks. vmi is a different beast altogether, channeling the visceral spirit of minimal wave and punk aesthetic to create a sordid call to arms before the frenzied acid and lingering menace of *not for design* closes the record in typically deranged fashion.

praterei turns 8, if releases were years and to celebrate, proffers a stamped 10 from label swami, 7 citizens. >do your head in< is charged with a side duties and a bit of a cerebral poke it is too. flirting somewhere betwixt both reverie and nightmare, it’s as playful as it is tormenting. it invites you round for a cup of tea, slaps you about a bit and calls you names before putting you to bed and whispering slightly sexy things in your lughole. >stride< is an altogether less hairy affair. its honest. its honest about the fact you are going to need a safe word. an acid romp with unwavering purpose.

ambivalent & michael l penman debut on ovum with *shimmer*. having found a very fruitful collaborative friendship, michael l penman and ambivalent (aka kevin mchugh) have begun exploring the intersection of their approaches to music-making. they originally connected when kevin discovered michaels music in 2010. after playing many of his productions in his dj sets and including them in a mix-cd (_ground) release for minus, kevin made contact and the pair began exchanging files and swapping ideas. this led to time in the studio together and yet more file exchanges. quickly a natural creative balance emerged as they found that their production techniques were complementary as is their shared love of groove, bass and musicality. for their ovum debut the duo have delivered a trio of tracks that have those three elements at their core. title track shimmer brings together raw jackin funk with a warm driving bassline and scything techy stabs whilst chevalier matches its fun bouncy groove with an infectious and spritely melody. final track memogram comes heavy with the oldskool, delivering a bed of beats and samples beneath the very heaviest of acid-kicks. not for the feint of heart!

cardiff massive giovanni branciamore and bradley albertides heard nicoles amazing sultry folky tones on the flowers of flesh & blood album and just had to work up some nip and bop to sit with her voice. nicole loved it and this is it! we are not too sure what to label this music under but tags of future nip hop ambient folk bop seem to be close. sarah burgess is a secret forest folky vocalist from york with a super soft ambient tone to her voice which was crying out for a touch of flyypost nip. luv*jams ambient alter ego flyypost slides out some wobbled out bass lines, floaty synths and a 68bpm raw kick drum all gliding on a bed of waves with sarahs stunning memories vocal. what style of music do we label this as? neo italo nip folk acid whop?

making a clean break with the poisonous digital dubstep rhythms in his first ep, dogboy’s basement to the attic is an fearless musical odyssey where the confines of this world end in intriguing organic sounds. in a way that wishmountain or burnt friedman would, dogboy scrutinizes the boundaries between experimentation and pure dance music. using recordings made in the different rooms of his family home, the four tracks on the ep start with laying down the subtitle emotional cool yet wobbly riddim card on the table, before gradually rising the subs and the pressure into a rave like burst of pride. futuristic, organic, progressive and utterly baffling, what makes basement to the attic so successful is it is purely unique.

berlin based oskar offermann finishes off proceedings with his stunningly hard-edged remix focused intently on the dance floor. the original melody line sits perfectly on a bed of subtle, dark stings and stabs of electronic noise to create those ghostly dance floor moments.

the long walk starts with the main body of the groove, combining the drums, bass and strings into one morphed soundscape. the strings, as if breathing life in and out of every 4 bar phrase, rocks the listener back and forth, as the acid line is allowed to weave itself, almost freely, in and out of the percussive detailing. this builds a bed for the next progression of the string section to reveal themselves, majestically...

für news from nowhere wagten darkstar den schritt vom digitalen homestudio zur staubigen studioenklave von richard formby, der u.a. für seine ausnahmearbeiten für mogwai bekannt ist. inspiriert von englischem prog-rock und obskurem techno, kreierte das trio - basierend auf seiner affinität für hip hop-produktionen - loops, die sich zu erhabenen arrangements entwickeln. das ergebnis ist ein einzigartiges werk zwischen dark-electronica und post-dubstep, das sich mit den momenten zwischen den momenten befasst und sie auf epische, kaleidoskopische höhen hebt, und das in seiner eigenen raumzeit existiert. die reise ins nirgendwo fängt hier an.
inklusive mp3-downloadcode und poster.

after the tense and dramatic soundscapes of jason letkiewiczs nzambi lp under his soundtrack guise alan hurst, emotional response have put the tracks to the test for three appropriately oddball remixers. fellow l.i.e.s. affiliate terekke turns out a heavily sedated dub of >nzambi< that rides a pacey house beat but buries everything in delay and reverb. timothy j fairplay brings some serious sleazy 80s electro tones to >parallel sensations<, complete with predatory vocal and thick ladles of synthy goodness. finally, jonas reinhardt cools off the intensity with a blissful ambient version of >before the dawn< which plunges headfirst into a warm bed of melodic drones.

mussurunga - that is the name which is used by the complete body inked cousins sigi aigner and didi bruckmayr for their outstanding performances on club dance-parties, festivals, free-parties and weddings in the home- and foreign-countries since more than two years. at their shows they use deep bass-lines, demanding beats, gentle hooklines and raging 3-d objects. the large sized mr. state-opera-chorister aigner and the dwarfish universal-bush-leaguer dr. bruckmayr also are known for their benedictional work with the performance-group fuckhead, for them they count as finded minds. mussurunga is a frowing suburb of the brazilian provincial capital salvador da bahia, which aigner and bruckmay vistied job related. while one of them waited without success for a date in mussurunga and spent all the spondulix which was meant for the taxi, the other one worked very hard in the regional beach-bars on artistic concepts. the result of this jobshare is, among other things, the present ep.

ununhexium (r-n 116) is the sixth release of raster-noton unun series. emptyset is a bristol based project formed in 2005 by james ginzburg, di- rector of the multiverse studios and the curator and electronic artist paul pur- gas. the project explores the legacy of analogue media, integrating aspects of rhythm, signal processing and spatial recording within the framework of mini- malist composition. their work interrogates the perceptual boundaries between noise and music and the potential for both technology and architecture to em- bed and codify themselves within sound. collapsed is emptysets first release on raster-noton and investigates the threshold where sonic structure is destabilized to the point where a chaotic order emerges out of a resistance to fragmentation and likewise explores the potential contained within this liminal space of transition. across the four tracks of the release a structural grammar is defined and then pushed to excess to the point where it reforms from repetitive and stable frameworks into non-grid based forms and ultimately chaotic rule sets.

whilst most of us would associate the productions of butch with his effortlessly flowing, melodic and uplifting style, perfect music for the summer floors and terraces.... of late, the turkish born producer has been channeling back into his tougher and dare we say it, more butch techno sounds. having bathed us in the gorgeous tones of previous hits such as >papillon< and >eyes wide open<, butchs latest work for quartz music sees him expanding further on his recent chemically inspired cecille release >lsd 25<, by serving up a large helping of acid on, >303<. sinister and deadly, the creeping corrosive cut is perfect soundtrack for those dark strobe lit moments. >soul leaves body< sees on the polar opposite side of our trip as the blissed out beats of the tabla and strains of the sitar sweep us away an ethereal bed of sound.

having both previously released on phuture shock musik, garage experimentalists roof light and lostlojic return to share the honours on a split single set for release on the bristol label. always one to maintain an eclectic approach in his work, surrey resident roof light returns to his forward-thinking best, offering up >pearl< - a sultry number, where jerky beats intertwine with fragmentations of female vox that saunter through swathes of synth pads, glitchy blips, and warm dubby bass. on the flip lostlojic continues the regular theme of passion in his music, bouncing back with >so much<, another r&b inflected dancefloor gem, incorporating a saccharine vocal hook over a bed of lush rhodes chords. soulful as ever, and riding a 4/4 rhythmn just beyond the familiar 140bpm region, this tune premieres a departure from the typically cold, brooding style that the ukraine based producer is known for, to something more suited for the warm summer nights.

one day while sharpening his hip-hop skills, the prince sets up shop in his favorite studio, an oversized king bed in a pile of synthesizers, drum machines and keyboards. an abundance of classic samples overflowing with soulful fills inspired baby prince to record one of his most sensitive vocal messages to date. an ideas man, baby prince struggled to get the mix right and tight. so lonely c swoops in, hits record and lays down the track in one clean shot. ooohwee! i want to squeeze you is born. the pillowtalk boys heard the new noise and accepted remix duties without question. their results, the phat philly remix, is a timeless house version with a powerful vocal addition from sammy d himself. lace up yer raving kicks.

opening track >what i do< introduces the ep on a poignant note with its sombre keys and emotive vocal flourishes without forsaking any of the force at its fingertips, driven by the bubbling subs and electric midrange. >fall< then sweeps in on a lush bed of glistening keys, soft vocal flourishes and a skipping drum line before crashing back down to earth with waves of warping bass tones blasting through the low end of the track. counterpointed by the soaring synth notes that flicker above, mydas balances the light and dark elements brilliantly.

begin clocks a fourth release with another vinyl only limited edition. the next image ep is a dreamy, warm and breezy affair made with the optimism of spring and beyond in mind. the title track has live instrumentation and a recurring guitar motif based around a midtempo groove wrapped in a bed of strings. on the flip the tempo slows for the blissed, brasilian morning sound of day happens. the guitars and feedback lay the foundations for vocals and hypnotic synth/xylophone elements. in early 2012 the previous release sold out. the three track lay ep got support from aficanados moonboots and jason boardman. balearicmike features it on his stunning mix for japanese peeps higherfrequency and james murphy of lcd soundsystem has recently opened his boiler room mix with elate,which is also getting spins and support from zurichs tastemaker lexx . the vibe is growing for begins releases so grab em while you can.

rare earth was an american r&b / rock band affiliated with motowns rare earth record label (which was named after the band), who prospered in 1970–1972. the core of this album is the side-long monster version of >get ready<. the epic song features various solos, and the snake-charmer sax improv by gil bridges is easily the highlight of the album. however, the rest of the album is just as astonishing.
