die musikwelt war hochgespannt, als nach zehnjähriger pause ein neues new order album erscheinen sollte. dass der inzwischen fünfköpfigen band mit -music complete- aber ein solcher -return to form- (spex) gelingen würde, haben so einige nicht mehr erwartet. der nun vorliegenden, neuen new order-single -singularity- attestierte der musikexpress zudem, sie würde einiges der -blue monday--dna in sich tragen. und in der tat ist der song mit seiner einmaligen balance aus rock und elektronik, dunkel, energiegeladen und tanzbar, die perfekte sound-symbiose von ursprungsband joy division und der sich hier auftürmenden, grunderneuerten new order.
die farbige 4-track 12 inch enthält einen extended mix und remixe von mark reeder, erol alkan und js zeiter und erscheint inklusive downloadcode .

mikkel metal was the first artist on echocord, and the main reason why the label was started back then. after many many releases we are very happy and proud that he now returns with a full lenght album. more than 7 years after his last long-player album mikkel metal returns with a new album for echocord. bypassing dub-techno as the starting point, this is music clearly consistent with earlier output. we are presented with 10 tracks that all evolve with around a melancholic melodic framework. while there is clearly a nod to detroit and another to dub- techno, the overall impression is consistently and unmistakably the sound of mikkel metal. a hypnotic, very enjoyable and thorough return from the danish artist.

are we all tired of the *artist returns after number years in obscurity* headline yet? because michna sure is. nearly seven years following the nyc dj/producers debut album for ghostly, magic monday, he has finished the official follow up to that record, but adrian yin michna doesnt want to overstate what happened in the interim. *life just moves,* he starts casually, *there has been a lot going on.* dj gigs, music production for video games and commercials, and film scoring have kept him busy, along with a healthy balance of painting, biking, and other non-musical endeavors. in light of michnas sophomore lp, thousand thursday, though, it all seems beside the point. simply put, his latest record is a celebration of the producers love for vibrant electronic music, bothering very little with conceptual or contextual baggage.
the vinyl lp includes a code for free download of the full album.

and so lux rec continue to reach out for all those ephemeral, eery noises which are so dear to them. unlit corners on half emptied dance floors. give in to suffer, loss and sadness. embrace it. believe...
lux recs first record for 2015 is a dark and moody affair coming from momentform, a french musician that has no fear to plunge into obscurity, melancholy, a somber look into memories that are too painful to forget. yet, he transformed all those postcards from the past into listening and dance material. our last dance together. turn off the lights when leaving.
pressing on dark translucent, smikey marbled vinyl.

while being a huge multi-single in its own right, this record is also just a tiny fraction of tracks to come out of slavakis london studio. expect playful mixture of warm enigmatic sounds for your mind, body and soul. undeniable deepness for any house music connoisseur.

joel hood makes escapist friday night music heard through the haze of a foggy monday morning. the north yorkshiremans music transports you straight out of a cold working town and drops you into a hazy world of intercontinental sonic voyaging, taking in fragments of family holidays and adult travel adventures cut and pasted into instrumentals that evoke dj shadow, twin peaks and the avalanches stargazing in the middle of nowhere, with hoods voice weaving between it all. already profiled by the guardian and music week plus picking up support from rob da bank and bbc6music, his debut ep for international feel features four tracks of psychedelic fusion carrying hints of 80s nostalgia amidst hedonistic futurism.

saves *monsters and fairies* is an abandoned hotel room located somewhere between england and spain. it is real for some while for others it is just a fantasy. who knows?
