airhead, (aka rob mcandrews) a resident, founding member and spiritual ocelot of the 1-800 dinosaur crew, will be releasing a four track ep *believe*, the first of a series of releases from dan foats emerging artist collective. this believe ep is a turning point for airhead, equivalent to the moment in the film *witness* when harrison ford, as john book, realises that the hitmen (witnessed by the amish kid in the toilets) are actually policemen. the inward has been exchanged for the outward. where airheads critically acclaimed debut album *for years* was all about tip-toeing barefoot into thick carpeted darkened rooms, this new ep, inspired by two years of 1-800 dinosaur parties, is all about the boom-boom oscillation and hands-in-the-air machine gun parties.

die roh are the legendary dj octopus (enlightened wax/hypercolour) and the mighty sagat (boss of noho records). for the fourth release of muscle records they have hosted in the brenta studios a southern talented musician known as okee ru (enetrbt/ deependence). the fruit of their occasional encounters are 3 craggy dancefloor cuts of disco infected technoid shuffled 808 beats and quirky samples, together they have blended old-school uncouthness with modern lechery. their dissolute country fellow lucretio (restoration/machines state) has delivered a methane-fuelled remix of -non è la rai-, adding illicit 90s happiness to the original beats. a remix that could easily cross-refer to his hard-to-find tunes on warm sounds.

bristol acetate carver and drum major, lurka launches his black acre debut with three unpredictable drum machine battle drills. kicking off with *holding* a technoid inflected dancehall pounder with a relentless low-end theory. the anxious heartbeat littered with schizophrenic percussion and alarm bells bursting into an undead army marching anthem. with *nah so* we are back on slightly more familiar turf, crushing kick drums perform the body blows under intricate hi-hats programming. *kmt* the most meditative of the three with nods to alan howarths bleak synthesiser work while high-fiveing schooly ds drum machine.

the idea behind lbl is very simple. we keep getting sent music that we really want to own on vinyl, so weve decided to start pressing these tracks ourselves. everything we have scheduled has a club feel, but past that we think youd be hard pushed to pinpoint a specific style which dominates our releases. for our first release we have music from scott fraser (crimes of the future), people get real (join our club), jamie blanco (ess o ess) and joonipah (nixwax). we could list a whole load of meaningless genres to describe the music to you (machine house, neu acid, bashment techno and hi tek soca) but we think its best you just listen and make your own mind up. currently, all lbl releases will be limited to a pressing run of 300 copies

disco bucuresti is an audio homage to romanias capital, bucharest. growing up between the citys communist blocks of flats and maturing in the citys underground discos left a distinct creative mark on andrei idu (the legendary 1979 orchestra). ever since leaving bucharest for amsterdam, andrei felt the need to tribute the place that shaped him. however, it was only until recently that he found the means necessary to express the feelings he felt. thus, records released during the 70s and 80s in romania as sole sample source, analog drum machines, delays, filters and reverbs, all recorded in live takes come together in this evocative ep.

7 years after the last zhark vinyl release, heavyweight techno nihilist & labelhead kareem opens up another chapter of advanced technoid noizcore with his 11th full length ep on zhark. after a few years of silence kareem had just reemerged with releases on foundation sonore (fs 01), porto ronco on death of rave or mesmer on zhark digital but is now threatening to inspire more uncompromising percussive hostility. let this just be the beginning: whereas side a emphasis on a very distinguished dance floor groove concept of machine funk embedded in metal layers side b leaves room for a less formatted approach building up tension which is leading to a free firezone of depravity. while methodic differentiations can be discovered on each side, the listener is continously confrontated with haunting sonic extremism.

there is a common thread that runs through all of brandt brauer fricks music. it is this: interesting things happen at the interface of machine and hand-made music. the berlin trios 2010 album, *you make me real*, fused techno and classical. the 2011 follow-up, *mr machine*, saw them go the whole classical-meets-club hog with a ten-piece ensemble playing dance music live. then, earlier this year, came *miami*, a darker, more song-based collection exploring the same man-machine ideas. the berlin trios instalment of the dj-kicks series does the same thing with a mix.

franz meersdonk und günther willers aka rdf are back on the road. the speedometer obviously tweaked, turned up and back on track. on the way tramper simon sunset got on board, et voila: made himself comfortable in the back cabin. left a bunch of wood back there. they drove the semi right into the sawmill and took care of the rough pre-cut themselves. cutter lowtec supported the two street heroes with all he’s got, or rather, he actually applied his own cutting-machine-operation. simon sunset’s wood cuttings were molded by a bunch of saws, slicers, and files. and for a final fine-tuning herb lf came running out of the canteen. and lo and behold, the machines spit out three beautifully stable pieces of wood with the finest texture- pattern captured in a stable frame of bark. so good was the material to begin with that nothing was left over for old, stinky bark mulch
