late 80s south african dance floor winners only! selected by dj okapi and antal, the compilation holds tracks by jivaro, the hard workers, ayobayo band, s.y.b. & many more. this is the sharp electronic music that fuelled the local pantsula dances during the 80s and 90s . a must have for fans of bubblegum and kwaito music. top tip! the 12 tracks selected for pantsula! come from a very unique, very different time and place. they represent the birth of electronic dance music in south africa, through the songs of one particular independent label from the time: music team. the sound represents the culmination of the bubblegum era, when south africaÕs disco artists outgrew their american influences and forged an increasingly electronic and ÔlocalÕ pop sound

this compilation spanning a period of 37 years features burnt friedmanÕs releases and edits thereof from vinyl-only labels (latency (fr), marionette (ca), dekmantel (nl) amongst others) plus 4 hitherto unreleased tracks, making them available on digital formats. friedmanÕs music from 1980 to 2017 covers a broad spectrum of played and programmed rhythmic styles that traverse not only club music from techno, electro and dub, but, above all, trace friedmanÕs own artistic development. a trajectory that owes a lot to his long-standing collaboration with can drummer jaki liebezeit, who died at the age of 79 in 2017. like liebezeit, friedman already explored even and uneven rhythms back in the late 1980s. this selection of 17 tracks documents this pursuit while bringing rough or discarded tracks to light, which did not fit onto any album or were intended for the nonplace label. the compilation runs the entire gamut of his work on percussion, keyboard, samplers and toys of all kinds using various production methods (tape, atari, midi, sampler, hard disk recording, digital audio tape). studio work (instant-composition, programming and recording) underwent major technological changes and revolutions in the 1980s and 1990s, but friedmanÕs distinctive signature style prevails throughout. surprisingly danceable tracks, interrupted by alien atmospheric periods, defy any genre.

15 years of prspct is nothing to be taken lightly... 12 tracks by 29 prspct artists. for sure the drum & bass/hardcore/breakcore album of 2017!

cd jewel-box with 12 pages stapled booklet. keziah jones (born olufemi sanyaolu on 10 january 1968) is a nigerian singer-songwriter and guitarist. he describes his musical style as blufunk, which is a fusion between raw blues elements and hard, edgy funk rhythms. also his nigerian roots in yoruba music and soul music can be considered a major influence on his sound. he is known for his distinctive style of guitar playing, including his percussive right-hand technique which is similar to a bass guitaristÕs slapping technique. his music blends sounds and influences from many sources, including fela kuti, miles davis or jimi hendrix.

with many influences, the musicians of la mano create a peculiar sound, a rock-salsa-ra•-reggae-rap cocktail which they baptize patchanka. manu chao, who writes lyrics, gives to the patchanka a more personal definition: a popular dance with apache lyrics and chorizo spirit. the band starts touring across france in october 1987 and rapidly establishes a solid reputation. a few months later, when the second record putas fever is released, the success is obvious. tracks sung in french, spanish or arabic, pas assez de toi, king kong five or sidi hbibi are immediate hits. after a long live-cruise in 1992 along the south american coasts, la mano negra gets back to france and separates in 1994. its hard to tell the impact of la mano negra across french and spanish speaking countries, with as many particular experiences that people lived during their tours.

steffi occupies a unique space in the realm of contemporary electronic music. although she s a world renowned dj, steffi s musical interests reach far beyond the dancefloor, and it s her work as a producer that has established an impressive, hard-won legacy. soon after moving to berlin in 2007, steffi joined ostgut, becoming a resident at panorama bar and releasing on the club s label. to date she s released five albums, including two solo for ostgut ton, a co-production with virginia, another with analogue cops as third side and a collaboration as doms & deykers on martyn s 3024 label. her impressive discography features club classics like Ò yours feat. virginiaÓ , carefully chosen remixes and appearances on labels including permanent vacation, underground quality and mixes for panorama bar and fabric. she owns and operates four labels: klakson (with dexter), dolly, dolly deluxe and dolly dubs. world of the waking state is steffi s third solo album for ostgut ton and a musical departure for both her and the label. it s also a serious statement of intent. over ten tracks she embarks on entirely new electronic terrain for her productions, marking industrial spaces with superlunary warmth while exercising a refined knowledge of polyphony and arrangement. subdued melodies interact with each other over implied harmonies and microcosmic drum patterns, luring us into a world that is introverted, bewildering and gratifying all at once.

im sommer 1999 aus der taufe gehoben, ist unsere total compilationserie kaum Šlter als das 21. jahrhundert selbst Ð was total 17 als letzte ausgabe vor der volljŠhrigkeit kennzeichnet. und tatsŠchlich strahlt die 2017er kohorte einen verspielten †berschwang aus, mit dem sich nur wenig andere compilations nach źber 15 jahren am markt messen kšnnen: labelveteranen und neuzugŠnge wie etwa superpitcher, weval, tobias thomas & michael mayer, chris klopfer, juergen paape, voigt & voigt, max scholpp und nu u orchestra begeistern mit einigen der eingŠngigsten tracks, die die serie bis dato gesehen hat.

wie andere total compilations zuvor, ist total 17 zuallererst eine perfekte gelegenheit in unser aktuelles programm einzutauchen, dank der actiongeladenen 2xcd version die gefeierte hšhepunkte und persšnliche favoriten von laurent garnier, the orb, k…lsch, vermont, t.raumschmiere, patrice b€umel, danny daze und vielen anderen vereint. die filetstźcke jedoch dźrften zweifelsohne die exklusiven tracks sein, die sich auf beiden editionen, 2xcd und 2xlp, befinden Ð acht brandneue produktionen von kompakt-kernkźnstlern und ausgewŠhlten labeldebźtanten die sowohl den sammelnden kenner als auch den ambitionierten tanzflur-aktivisten mitreissen werden.

following last yearÕs much-acclaimed solo album Òmondo alteradoÓ (hippie dance 08), original pachanga boy and hippie dance mentor rebolledo returns to the limelight with the jam-packed mondo re-alterado (hippie dance 10), tapping into his vast and varied network of friends and fellow soundsmiths. artists such as superpitcher, dj tennis, maceo plex, red axes, fango or fantastic twins deliver stunning takes on rebolledosÕ unique signature sound, creating a full suite of exclusive remixes, cover versions and reinterpretations.
from the super-energetic club rumblings of maceo plexÕs discotico plexico to dj tennisÕ dreamy pimiento drive version of a numb gas to the future or fantastic twinsÕ party bomb fantastic pow pow, the journey through mondo re-alterado is full of twists and turns Ð a world where an epic, cinematic soundscape such as superpicherÕs rainboy super space sits comfortably alongside the claustrophobic, punishing banger that fango sculpted from stand-out cut Òpow powÓ.

meanwhile, red axes turn the casual narrative of Òlife is strange, life is hard, life is greatÓ into a bouncing workout Ð a great companion piece to want, danny daze and shokhÕs propulsive, jagged dub version of Òfears come trueÓ. other highlights include jšrg burger aka the black frame with the lush black rainbow woman, paulorÕs country rock extravaganza discotico desertico and not one, but two excellent contributions from former italians do it better honcho mike simonetti. itÕs a magical, surprising ride that finds beauty in contrasts Ð while staying tuned to rebolledoÕs spirit of adventure and powerful sense of style.

langeweile. faulheit. totale teilnahmslosigkeit. ist es nun schon eine so genannte quarter life crisis oder einfach nur eine ausrede, um blo§ nie erwachsen werden zu mźssen? fragen wie diese, sind die eckpunkte jener welt, in die washed out mit seinem ambitionierten neuen visual-album mister mellow aufbricht. fźr viele, viele vertreter der generation y ist das leben derma§en dramatisch und problematisch, dass es mithin schon absurde zźge annimmt. und die methoden, mit denen sie sich von den ganzen unsicherheiten und unwŠgbarkeiten abzulenken versuchen, die zu ihrem alltag gehšren, sind dabei nicht weniger absurd - da ist alles von social media bis hin zu fantasywelten dabei, von drogenexzessen bis zu musik-eskapismus. mister mellow, das erste komplett als multimedia-werk angelegte album von washed out, fźhrt durch all die hšhen und tiefen dieser oftmals lŠcherlichen alltagskŠmpfe und beleuchtet dabei augenzwinkernd auch das gro§e paradox, dem man immer wieder begegnet: wie kann es sein, dass wir derma§en unzufrieden und gelangweilt sind, wo wir doch eigentlich alle erdenklichen privilegien genie§en und somit mehr als zufrieden sein kšnnten? auf -mister mellow- dominieren eher experimentelle collage-techniken � la musique concrŹte. free jazz, house, hip-hop und psychedelic haben allesamt ihren platz in dieser welt, in der auch interlude-artige voiceover-samples aufblitzen, woraus sich insgesamt ein hektisch-chaotischer und karikaturistischer mix ergibt, in dem sich die reizźberflutete psyche dieser generation widerspiegelt.

!!! (chk chk chk) liessen Òshake the shudderÓ von den dance-koryphŠen phil moffa, joakim und matt wiggins produzieren, die 12 tracks featuren eine ganze reihe von vokalistinnen wie lea lea, meah pace, nicole fayu, cameron mesirow und molly schnick. wŠhrend die band, geprŠgt von ihrer post-punk-vergangenheit, immer auf der suche nach frischen sounds ist, bleibt ihr geschmack behaftet im funk und diversen elektronischen dance-styles. die idee zum neuen album entstand bei jam-sessions in barcelona, in den folgemonaten wurden die aufnahmen zu loops geschnitten, aus denen die neuen songs entstanden. zuhause in brooklyn ergoss leadsŠnger nic offer seine vocals źber die disco-breaks seines zimmergenossen. ferner zeigte sich die band diesmal offener bei der verwendung von samples und keyboards.

zwei jahre nach seinem hochgelobtem debźtalbum tremors legt der ehemalige wahlšsterreicher sein zweites album vor. mittlerweile lebt sohn in los angeles und dem neuen album hšrt man die wŠrme seiner neuen heimat durchaus an. erneut hat er das album in reinen nachtschichten erarbeitet - dieses mal in einem studio im norden kaliforniens. die 10 songs sind zuversichtlich, direkt und fokussiert. vorsichtig lockert er die beschrŠnkungen auf und baut in jeden track neue musikalische elemente ein, durch die gesang, melodien und rhythmen noch besser zur geltung kommen

les graciŽs is a collaboration in the truest sense between paris-based sound artist ga‘l segalen and deepblak co-founder afrikan sciences. segalenÕs experiments in electroacoustic sound met the wider world this year via a debut lp for erratum, an arresting work that showcases her ability to merge hypnotic murk ala angus maclise with the hard concrŽte of parmegiani & reibel. segalenÕs ihearu imprint / organisation is a platform for her various doings, including psychogeographical audio works and multi-media collaborations, as well as servicing as a reference point for other contemporary female artists working across various mediums. eric douglas porter aka african sciences has been deconstructing and re-building forms of contemporary black music since the mid-2000Õs, through releases on deepblak (the label he co-runs with aybee) and pan. his musical universe is one of warping cadences and celestial melody, referencing the bold work of percussionists like milford graves & art jenkins, the dissonant chords of motor city techno and stripped back essence of early chicago house matched with broken hard bop sentiments: all tied together with an aesthetic that sits somewhere between sun raÕs omniverse, jean giraud mÏbius and dogon cosmology. together as le graciŽs, segalen and porter make a wholly unclassifiable strain of music that, while containing recognisable elements of each individual s work, also creates a third entity in the process, which can be heard to stunning effect on their forthcoming debut lp Ôlow dosesÕ for firecracker recordings.

with the release of fourth album crown posada, smoove & turrell cement their position as one of the uks most exceptional soul acts with their innate ability to deliver hard times social commentary in a dancefloor friendly medium. proudly working class as a band this album celebrates love, life, politics and the lows and the highs of growing up and raising families in the north east of england. gritty and powerful, the band make no attempt to sound or look like anyone else not for them the sharp suits and trumpet twirls of some of their peers. instead you get a wildly talented and vital crew of larger than life geordie lads taking their rightful place on the international soul scene having already become figureheads within the uk.

das japanische kult-girl-trio nisennenmondai hat nach einer kollaboration mit electro-dub-produzent shackleton in 2015 sein neues album mit dub-legende adrian sherwood aufgenommen und entwickelt sich damit von einer noisey no-wave-band weiter in richtung organic techno. zu ihren die-hard-fans zŠhlen die battles, prefuse 73 und chris & cosey (throbbing gristle), die internationale trendpresse (nme, the wire, dazed & confused) lobt sie źber den klee. dank sherwoods teilnahme gewinnen winzige rhythmische details und subtile dub elemente an bedeutung, die erinnerungen an den klassischen basic channel sound wecken. die internationale ausgabe enthŠlt zusŠtzlich zwei live dub mixes, die sherwood in tokios unit club mit zahlreichen effekten live aufnahm.

things start off in spectacular fashion with the cute and upbeat spiritual encounter before settling into some funky and mysterious electro with bombay mix. hard copy is reminiscent of the early hi nrg vibes of bobby orlando or gino soccio but woolly hat and parallel universes are funky, fun loving 4/4 electro grooves that are more typical of the dmx sound. he saves the best for last though, with some darker excursions such as the high octane, telex sounding computational paradigm shift and the smack electro closer black poppy. with electro making an obvious comeback.

ever since first appearing on bristol s black acre imprint back in 2009, kwesi darko s blue daisy project has been hard to pin down. 2011 debut album the sunday gift was a triumph of woozy downtempo fusion, with bustling bass music influences rubbing shoulders with folksy elements, ambient, trip-hop and experimental electronica. following black acre s demise, darko now finds himself on r&s, a label willing to let him follow his unique path. as a result, sophomore album darker than blue is an even more adventurous and enjoyable set than its predecessor, with darko adding modern classical, beat poetry and hazy jazz influences to his already heady musical brew.

when i joined mouse on the keys, i envisioned a concept that mixes diverse elements of contemporary music, such as dynamic hardcore drumming and modern french harmony with the feeling of a detroit techno follower. since we got an offer to release an album on mule musiq, a label with much diversity in dance and contemporary music - our new album has been pulled out of us by itself- reveals the japanese acoustic and electric piano player daisuke niitome. together with drummer and piano player akira kawasaki and synth and piano player atsushi kiyota he is mouse on the keys, an energetic, hard to pigeonhole tokyo based trio that combines the sound of divers pianos and synthesizers with out-there drumming.

2methyls first full length album is both a feast for the dancefloor and an example of creativity. following the orb ep, layer8 is a hard, fast album of futuristic dark drum n bass. but it is also an example of how to bring this genre forward while staying true to its energy. very complex and detailed, the nine tracks of this album play with the rules of modern days drum n bass and burst out of their restraints, resulting in an album whose horizon is beyond the dancefloor and which impresses by its magnitude and originality.

for the second installment of their mixtape series, hospital records has turned to devonian duo fred v and grafix, who epitomize the label s festival-friendly outlook. they don t disappoint, either, dropping an action-packed mix that shoehorns 32 tracks into an hour of non-stop dancing fun. after kicking off with the guitar laden hip-hop wooziness of cyantific s high water mark and dimension s tear-out beast whiplash, they variously touch on liquid, hospital style disco drum and bass, and harder flavours. happily, they find room to include eight exclusives from a variety of producers, including a previously unheard vip re-work of their own summer smash major happy

when he proceeded further into the production process, he limited himself using the computer less and instead learning to trust his intuition, the flow of his fingers and to use his own voice as an instrument. this led to an album that is rather hard to pin down genre-wise but even easier to connect to emotionally when you listen to it from start to finish.
