transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

moving away from the multi artist approach of the previous 7 releases, ir-008 sees jason brunton take a more direct approach to the dancefloor with this straight up techno workout. stabbing chords run amok over a xxl moroder-esque bassline-hints of basic channel, carl craig and the shuffling rhythms all combining to create something both fresh and familiar at the same time. since his initial outings on headpace and iridite many years ago, marco bernardis career has went from strength to strength with a string of releases on glasgows soma records and a fruitfull relationship with the dutch masters clone- here he takes mixed metaphors in a new direction- crazed synthetic vocals combine with ice cold strings and electro beats worthy of any aux 88 or kraftwerk release! rei loci turns in a superb reworking, moving into deeper realms and coming off like early robert hood crashing into maurzios back yard!

bobby & klein are back with their second ep, >jackzilla<,!!! they return to guesthouse for this second ofering, which shows the evolution of the french duo, heading this time for more synthetic sounds, while retaining their inner jack! the first track of the ep, >naughty<, will have you sing >do you feel naughty< for a long time with its infectious vocal hook and its peak time breakdown. the second track, >i want sax< is based on a rhodes loop and rolling bassline and features the talent of mr fm umlaut on synthesizers. last but not least, the title track, >jackzilla<, closes the ep with its peak time party horns sample and enormous bassline, ready to explode your bass cabinets all over the world. another guesthouse jacker!

incl spartaque remix !! contemporary techno bass line meets the whistles from early days of rave culture, cold and clear synthetic lead transforming and pulsating on the solid kick drum

jesse siminski is one of those musicians its impossible to ignore. whether producing as heartthrob or alter-alter ego vivianne projects his work is instinctive, insightful and driven by an irresistible force that instantly rubs off on the audience. its no surprise then that the first single to be lifted from heartthrobs eagerly awaited debut album >dear painter, paint me< is >signs<, a track that fully demonstrates the extent of his repertoire. one of the highlights of his not-to-miss live set, its also become a corner stone of richie hawtins dj sets over the last few months due to the massive crowd response it generates whenever it drops. billed as homage to classic detroit techno, theres a real air of expectancy about the mix friendly introduction. the powerful kick pattern, swirling sci-fi vocal efx and loose hi hat groove soon make way for the urgent, cavorting main melody that spins off into another dimension before a massive, resonating synthetic bass wipes out everything in its path. one of the main ideas running through the album is the juxtaposition and layering of different rhythms and time signatures and this really comes across on signs, with disco and caribbean inflections adding a cut and thrust to the chugging groove, creating the perfect foil to the sonic mayhem overhead. the b-side features apprentice – a tag heartthrob can safely leave behind with the release of >dear painter, paint me<. of course its another guaranteed floor filler with a finely honed acidic riff that immediately taps into the subconscious...

viral breaks bring something different to the label in the form chaotic pulse?s >eternal night<. the a side is a techy dancefloor drum n bass killa. powerful bass driven drums and lashing snares are brought together with mutating synthetic bass, that will drive the dancing crew crazy. the aa sees the remix from phat riders

big bang the birth of our solar system, our ground wire and adjacent luminary. the universe is a collective of wild mixed atom constellations. the big bang ep is a part of the boundless expanse of electronic producing, the 4 different artists shows the polychronic function of analogue and synthetic sound design. the already known eintakt artists einklang freier frequenzen and hugo duran / kong and the new members linus quick (released also on traum-schallplatten) and christoph schindling (released on dreiton) created this mix of atmospheric deep techno and asyetic minimal tunes

loved by alex from tokyo, alex attias, ame, dixon, marcus worgull, peter kruder, roland appel, tony lionni and many more.. fabrice lig, the prince of everything electronic, is back after his very acclaimed x-slaves. he delivers the goods once again, starting off here with chapter one in a purple raw trilogy. first up is the track, based around a jerky syncopated rhythm and a very dry kick, which remains light all the way. as usual, lig’s arrangements evolve progressively before they wipe us away with their screeching pads and synthetic melodies. a great mixture of minimal techno and detroit nostalgia. no doubt, the more efficient track produced by fabrice lig and hammered by dixon, ame, alex attias, quarion… much more aggressive, bump bump is built around fat analogue sounds, or acid noises if you prefer which seem to emulate screaming animals. one is easily carried away by an animalistic groove that keeps on building from the beginning till the end. it all ends with the very funky the riff pourpre, a perfect crossover between metro area and parliament. the retro sounds sit nicely on a big fat beat, the kind which lig excels in.

nice price deal !!! once again taken from paris well respected pro zak imprint, this seductive, spliffed out odyssey takes the listener home after a blunted journey through future roots riddims for the millenium. grau one is the first one of a to be continued series. a side: big synthetic rave dancefloor bomb with an on the road again swing bassline. side b: monty rock is an electro elegant hypnotic 80s new wave transe danceflloor hit! dont forget your boots and your slim jeans.

played by todd terje, tim sweeny, mungolian jet set, bill brewster, dj cosmo and more. on this release they don’t seem to hide their combined love for soundtrack and trip hop at all! the heavy sonic landscape that is painted then suddenly gets some strokes of warm synthetic keys while a mid tempo 4/4 bass drum hypnotically keeps you going towards the end. finally you kindly get administered a dose of druggy guitar for maximum distortion effect.on the flip norwegian top-flight psychonauts mungolian jet set show their genius by telling a totally different story. for their dark & gloomy medievel knievel version the main theme from bs&f gets many variations and transpositions.this is a genuine and highly intelligent epic dance floor masterpiece not for the faint-hearted!

like a techno nightmare, an android dreamland where synthetic enemies line up to kill you with lasers and other futuristic stuff, >drama< is seriously scary business. as you should be expecting from this crew by now the flip is no variation from their deep and dark theme.

born and raised in tokyo, living in berlin since may 2007, akiko kiyama presents on neo010 two wonderful minimal- tracks, synthetic, acrylic, rough and raw, sober and straight, shy and yet damn clubby. akiko - whose delicately reduced musical style is partly defined by some earlier 12 inch releases on m-nus creates a fragile and surprising cosmos of subtle rhythmical structures and wobbling guttural waveforms, all this combined with this very special female approach that people all around the globe seem to love more and more. for those who like it a little bit less minimal, there are two remixes included. we have one by humantronic, the minitech (or tech?) berserk from france, who re-establishes an industrially strict balance of pumping and knitting sounds, with almost trancy elements good and healthy food for the club community

train of thought is not only significant for being the latest album by detroit legend terrence dixon but for being yores premiere full length release. the albums tracks range from 80s sounding cybotron like excursions to raw, stripped down techno and warm, chord driven house alike tunes. the double vinyl set includes rapturous settings of synthetic sound and swinging cuts whose burbling keys, pounding kick drums, and brisk hi hats evoke the brilliant sheen of detroit techno. though his music may invite comparison to drexicya and atkins, dixons music often imitated but never duplicated ultimately stands alone.

return of the cocoon-proof techno don! some phat business from jaceks underwater lab - yet another exercise in his very own concept of combining minimal groove with maximal sound spectrum. and it works: solid mid-tempo rhythm carries what seems to be a thousand of layers of sound. meaty, bouncing bass stabs intertwine with washes of synthetic melodies, while percussion drops and unidentified samples swirl around in this bio-robotic monster of a tune. >green river< takes jaceks minimal obsession into cold outer space, where you can hear the planets spin and the only hope seems to be coming from a dying communication device... cold, stark and haunting, this is either work of a madman or truly the future now

after 3 years of his success on electrix records - max is back to collaborate with keith tucker… this time on a groovy but hard track >electrotech<. you can feel detroit 4/4 floor beats with cold robot synths and the hot voice of the aux 88 front man

chrysanthemum ep is the first new recording from kelley polar since his hugely successful debut album released in 2005, love songs of the hanging gardens. the seeds of chrysanthemum are described by mr. polar himself as a confluence of the apocalyptic fear that permeated all cold war childhoods, comic book illustrations of blood and violence abstracted into flora and a b grade science fiction novels portraying two teens in the final throes of lovemaking as the world is destroyed in nuclear apocalypse. yet despite this decidedly dark and unique approach, the song is nevertheless pure pop catchy and indelible once heard. rosenband is lighter in subject matter yet just as deep musically, filled with synthetic layers and rhythms that reveal themselves slowly on subsequent listens. despite the immediacy of the melodies, there is a detail that permeates all of kelley polars work and rewards the attentive listener. a completely reworked instrumental version of rosenband is stretched across the b side and is dare we say it a dancefloor killer, with a long, mix friendly intro building to an incredible crescendo. the track is arranged and mixed by morgan geist and was done so with djs in mind!

on the a side the bee low remix is a masterpieceof a remix that aims at moving people with hypnotic, repetitive grooves and fierce build ups. flip over for the original timothy l version and chev chelios an intensive track you wont forget as it haunts you with its whirring synths, a driving synthetic beat and an almost melancholic feel

the title track, vizard, starts the listener on a dark journey dripping with eerie rhythms and synthetic noises. a kick emerges from the moody ambience to lead the way for syncopated percussion and brooding bass.argentinas whiz kid barem pulls vizard in a funkier direction with his rework, while maintaining the moody atmosphere of the original. with shuffling percussion and a bassline designed to invigorate, the haunting beeps add the slightest oomph while keeping the listener shrouded in mystery as to where the track will travel next.i gotta move on is a melting pot of dark, groovy and quirky ingredients, a recipe perfected simply for enjoyment. the vocal samples are chopped so fine youd think they were cut with a chefs knife

better known as volum and as one half of angry robots volsoc (his musical partnership with justin maxwell), jean-paul bondys output to date has often been categorised as electro, but not as we know it, jim. since the early 90s bondy has been bringing us his vision of a cartoon future of blips, bleeps, squeaks and tweaks, all fed through your speakers and straight into your brain by a rhythmic salvo of breakbeats, bass, and straight-up, glitched-up funk.. bondys first solo album, >the path of most resistors< marks the culmination of this effort to date, while at the same time representing a subtle departure – not just for bondy, but for compost too. make no mistake, this is a record that is grounded in the kind of solid, machine funk grooves, synthetic melodies and sci-fi atmospheres that the best electro has always brought us

more intimate than recent swayzak productions, carthage milk takes us back to the style of snowboarding in argentina, the album that first charmed us with its pure and rolling sound. with a touch of house and a deep ambience, james taylor gives us a more personal sound. the beautifully produced techno, seasoned gently with dub, gives this album an unforgettable synthetic warmth.

alice is a classic track from the sisters of mercy's gothic era. on the poppy 'do you think…?', every melodic phrase reveals a different shadow: aspects of andrew eldritch (this time his side-project the gift), new order or the belgian ebm scene. 'the train', a mechanical ballet whipped by synthetic guitars and an avalanche of snare drums. 3 future floorfillers

greyscale s next full-length release come from german based artist audhentik. titled hypno , this album encompasses 14 pieces that dive deep into a heavily-based synthetic world of atmospheric ambient and dub. imagine if you took some amazing pictures of a desert island then put on a pair of ambient dub filtered glasses on. a picture-esque nature beach scene has been processed so heavily that they evoke memories of a place you have been before. this is a true artistry in ambience. perspectives combines a wonderful balance of field recordings with washed out chords of grandeur. breathtaking and majestic like looking down on to a city from an amazing view off a mountaintop. period explores an off-kilter dub rhythm while feeling stuck in a languid moment of disorientation as the track disperses the tension near the end. that astounding build leads perfectly in to the title piece. hypno is a 9+ minute journey deep into the abyss with a track of pure aural pleasure. epic is an understatement here. a standout among many other standout s here. infinite edit is one of the key interlude s that link the tracks together on the album. this one provides a thinner airier stratosphere then the previous ones giving you a chance to catch your breath as you prepare for another trek into the depths of static . this one has you feeling adrift in a nautical theme of optimism through the arduous recent events of a shaky future. a wonderful storytelling is evolving on hypno ...

unplugged vol. 1 is the first in a cd series by ssaliva. the first one contains 11 synthetic vignettes, a very stripped back affair, much more then we are used of this ever so elegant master of layering and kingpin of the lighter kind of electronic lasagna, digesting the latest flavors long before they get stale. not on this one though. these are more skeletons of pop songs, bare and glassy, played on a fake nylon-stringed koto for an imaginary court of internet angels. digipack in silver pantone with black 500 pcs

for organ and brass is comprised of two works by the stockholm-based composer ellen arkbro. both works focus on tuning, intonation and harmonic modulation. in previous projects, arkbro composed for early music ensembles, wrote a series of durational pieces utilising synthetic tones and processed guitars, and, most recently, presented a work lasting 26 days at the stockholm concert hall. for organ and brass looks back to arkbroÕs studies in just intonation with la monte young, marian zazeela, and their disciple jung hee choi in new york, as well as with kindred spirit marc sabat in berlin.

ambient power duo anjous sophomore statement continues in the vein of their 2014 debut, unfurling a full hour of mesmeric synthetic drift and veiled melodic undertow. comprised of mark nelson (of pioneering post-rock experimentalists labradford and pan american) and robert donne (of labradford, aix em klemm, cristal), the group work largely in long-form suites of sound, alternately spacious and dense. the new lps six pieces embrace flux and ambiguity: drones swell and shudder, hushed currents of noise glitch and dissolve, atmospheres congeal and liquify. as with the participants prior projects, anjou evoke a shadowed, mysterious mood, variously melancholy and transcendent. the album is an accumulation of craftsmanship and experience, blurred forms traced in light and fog.

the latest work from florian hecker a script for machine synthesis is an experimental auditory drama and a model of abstraction. a script for machine synthesis presents a complex simplicity that spirals in an unending manner as an audio image of the uncanny valley. it is the third chapter in the trilogy of text-sound pieces hecker has collaborated with the philosopher reza negarestani. a resynthesized voice outlines procedure as procedure itself unfolds. the suggestive encounter with a pink ice cube is a conceptual point of departure for a scene in which linguistic chimeras of descriptors are materialized through synthetic trophies, mental props and auditory objects. hecker presents a synthesis of the gap in the valley which we almost know. the motifs hecker has staged in the last decade, the text, the sound, the scent, the obelisk, the demon, the self, the other all appear throughout in a thorough, rigid and formal exploration. exeunt all human actors, a script for machine synthesis is an experiment in putting synthetic emptiness back into synthetic thought.

peripheral minimal is proud to announce the forthcoming album, aus den anti-imperialistischen tagebu&#776,,,chern , by in namen des volkes. indv is the brainchild of hamburg resident matthias schuster (also of bal pare, das institut,geisterfahrer and others), and creates a more heavy-weight style of minimal synth in the spirit of d.a.f., or even early front 242. the tracks were taken directly off cassettes and reworked with added vocals, whilst maintaining the original 80s recording techniques of 4-track and purely analogue instrumentation, strictly no plug-ins or digitalism here! matthias has been actively producing complex synthetic sounds since the late 1970s, having released seminal albums and singles on respected labels such as, plastic frog, minimal wave and medical records. his passion for all things analogue seems to be irrepressible, devoting a considerable amount of time to myriad projects each with their own unique qualities and sonics. he musically switches from neue deutsche welle stylings, to minimal synth and proto-ebm with great dexterity and a rare continuing dedication. the album is presented in a luxurious digipak and limited to 300 copies. recorded between 1980 - 2015. artwork by kilgore trout.
