the first musical scale on apiafo leans towards raw funk with a sound similar to the famous 70s bands, l orchestre poly rythmo de cotonou and el rego. funk, is the skeletal structure of this record, and provided the opportunity for peter to invite his uncle, roger damawuzan - the famous pioneer of the 70s soul scene – on two tracks. their collaboration on *pas contente* is a highlight on this 100% analog album. apiafo was entirely recorded, mixed and mastered with old tapes and vintage instruments.

a couple of years into honing their skills in the studio and behind the booths, the very dynamic duo known as andhim returns to get physical to present us with ‘spayce, the latest specimen of their self-christened super house genre. raised on a steady diet of hip hop and jazz, the cologne-native pair have proven to many far and wide that they are entertainers at heart and envelope-pushers by nature. taking turntables where they seldom go to turn them into instruments, as well as the heavy use of samples and real-world inspiration to set their own creations apart, its fair to say that ‘spayce is just another example of the duos eclectic, eccentric inclinations. two tracks long and spanning from dance floor epic to quirky by way of some particular glitch, piano work and musical hiccups, ‘spayce ep is a very sweet addition to an already original discography.

the idea of merging recordings of different instruments and sounds appeared out of recording harp for an audiobook. the result are 4 innovative, unpredictable and completely homeproduced tracks on the a-side of the record, which negates the cliché of the harp as an apparently benign tool for gentle and smooth tunes. in order to go one step further in breaking tradition-steeped sounds there are 3 remixes from 3 different artists coming from the more technoid world of music (technical grief, carina posse, mod.civil) on the b-side. there you’ll find the attempt to alienate the original instruments and let them coalesce with danceable electronic sounds in a new context. the 12- is on black vinyl, packaged in a silkscreen print cover and limited to 200 pieces.

when dfc team (persi, collino & gemolotto) started their atahualpa project techno music was far to be a cool trend in the venues. even more innovative was to mash up acoustic, electronic, traditional instruments as peruvian panflutes and synthesizers while evocative voices drive listeners to the world of last inca emperor. it was in 1990 when ultimo imperio by atahualpa topped in several countries around the world becoming a milestone in the dance music history. nearly twentyfive years later dfc label releases 4 amazing new remixes and the story goes on

remastered 2014 edition, originally released in 1976.

what happens if such restless souls like akiko kiyama and laurine frost start to melt their sounds together? the result is that one of the most interesting piece of art of the forward-thinking techno music becomes alive. ’through the mountains ep’ is a golden section of their utopistic musical imaginations, influenced by classical minimalism, live instruments and the ordered chaos of contemporary techno and found sound elements. all the four tracks contain their recognisable fingerprints. the gently and respectful collaboration is proven by the perfect balance of chemistry. in the collage of their musical layers every tiny sound and every tiny breaks have its own weight and meaning. waving and playful structures, exciting journeys on the edge of reality. 

walking through the sky, five years ago christian naujoks, peter m. kersten and richard von der schulenburg started a series of spontaneous recording sessions without any intention or idea. the only thing what held the group together were the immediate results hitting the three musicians straight inside their hearts. jazz as a metaphor of instrumental conversation, improvisation in the most dillettant way, science as a matter of exploring the opposite sound of what instruments were built to, these might be parts of a concept where there was none.

a kaleidoscope of rainbow textures and rhythms disperse into the exotic soundscape of *tropical*. electronics, real folk instruments and noise-making objects feature here generously on this six-track concept album, blending together a sonic palette influenced by a rich variety of music, people and places. the material was initially written over the course of a few months during what seneviratne called *a beautiful burst of inspiration*. working with veteran producer asier leatxe ibanez d opakoa (electric lady studios, nyc), seneviratne then set about disassembling all the songs and re-working them meticulously, enriching the sounds by adding a huge range of live instrumentation, before processing the audio through vintage analogue studio gear. the vinyl lp comes with download code.

grab the new s&c 005 record, a split 12inch by ender & stiletti-ana, put it on and lay down on your sofa. hear the opening groove from enders track p.l.i.h. and find your self getting up immediately to turn the stereo a little louder. adapt your self to the super tight, locked & futuristic and very original techno groove. watch especially out for the killer stab line in it as it is just something you will most likely find your self humming while shopping or taking your dog out. after the original mix of p.l.i.h. you will hear the stiletti-ana s stripped down version. he must have cut everything else out in his mix with his switch blade besides the ruthless stab line. dig the endless and ever growing stab jacking and remember that p.l.i.h side of the record is very serious and addictive for both club & home users. turn the record around and go back to your sofa. hear the twisted detroitian afro acid disco of stiletti-ana s track i got the master unit. filled with merciless synths and forcing rhythms i got the master unit leaves no questions of the keeper of that unit. the user of the unit seems to turn all things to the max and play midi tracks with tesla coil a like instruments. after the original it is ender s time to use the master unit and turn down the lights and ask the question: do you think that there will be something nice happening soon?

after dropping the hammer with blunt instruments killer hold back ep, dungeon meat are back again debuting on their own label with the brain mincing lose your mind ep. both sides deliver big swings of their mighty axe and hit hard with their signature sound of meaty beats & beefy basslines. aimed straight at the dance floor, it s obvious both the tracks have the intention to crack some skulls and spill some brains. already road tested individually by tristan da cunha and brawther at their d.j gigs & their dungeon meat live show, the reactions have shown that both of these tracks hit the chest and do the damage. also included are two -tools- so the creative djs out there can get busy in the mix and give their sets a little meat injection. pressed on 180g vinyl with embossed company sleeve dressed to impress with the trademark dungeon meat artwork

after the highly anticipated release of his third studio album decay, efdemin presents the first part of a remix series featuring his favourite producers. bristols underground hero asusu inflates the reduced album opener some kind of up and down yes with deepest bass and beautiful scapes to the max in a true photek-style. last years control by staffan linzatti was one of the favourite constants to be played in every efdemin or lawrence set. luckily his version of solaris is another epic hymn here with futuristic enhancements of the third kind.the most extraordinary piece on decay versions part 1 is the borderland states rework of parallaxis. efdemins studio-mate john gürtler recorded that beauty with adding acoustic instruments only and sounds like a meeting of moondog with wim mertens.

catalognumber 23 – what else is to say? while we are feeling the spirit of william s. burroughs blessing this very vinyl-enigma, &me went particularly mysterious ways to transcend the category - dance track - for this one. the meditation through bass had been the major discipline of some of his latest cuts, but what you will find on this a-side, one could certainly call the perfection of somnambulistic peaktime-fever. the way he is kneading the lower frequencies, how he is channeling the expansion and decay of bass must inevitably lead to some aroused moaning. good vocal-selection, for that matter! then there are those tension building synths and a staccato-frenzy in the break that might be the ultimate ecstasy-trigger of the season. * locust* on b comes in with some smoothly looped e-guitar-coolness, adding whispering hi-hats and a comparatively rich percussive architecture. but then again: rolling bass barrels like a signature and a defence breaking build up thats ensued by liberating pressure compensation in mighty breaks. two demonstrations of understated and sophisticated peaktime-emphasis, so to say. or differently put: a flawless double-a-side.

brooklyn-based producer, composer, pianist, dj and live musician taylor mcferrin is set to release his first full length lp, early riser, in june 2014 on flying lotus brainfeeder record label. taylors musical style is equally influenced by the legends of 60s/70s soul, the kings of the modern beat generation, golden era hip hop, free form jazz and electronic music. by playing all of the instruments on his productions, while also relying heavily on sampling and chopping up his live takes, he has found a sound that seamlessly bridges myriad musical worlds and draws the listener into a constantly shifting audio soundscape. the vinyl lp comes with digital download code.

philipp weber is a musician living and working in leipzig, germany. his main focus when creating music is to capture the moment by using all kinds of instruments in a playful and intuitive way, experimenting with rhythms, sounds and melodies. his songs are ideas, emotions and thoughts that he tries to translate into music. »its like speaking a language«, he says, »without knowing its grammar, still trying to find the right words.« philipp is one half of the project webermichelson a two-piece band focused on merg- ing kraut and experimental music through drums, synths and guitars. webermichelson have been a core ingredient of the holger universe from the very start, one of their live shows actually being the moment where it all began. with his first mini album weber now joins the holger family also as a solo artist

corbu are an electronic, indie-rock band from brooklyn, new york spearheaded by producer and multi-instrumentalist jonathan graves. corbu are jonathan, todd hoellerman (drums, keys), amanda scott (synths, percussion), julian ferraldo (guitar, keys) and brian murphy (bass, keys). named after french architect le corbusier, the band has a strong creative aesthetic. graves writes the music from visual ideas, which he translates into sound. corbu songs are often heard partially or entirely in dreams, and are influenced by films, physical spaces and a childhood love of nature and science fiction. and it works. corbus music is beautifully crafted, taking the listener on a journey from day to night, through exhilarating sunsoaked sonic landscapes to land softly on the surface of the moon. jonathan began singing and playing different instruments at age nine, and eventually fell in love with samplers and their ability to bend conventional sounds into something abstract and new.

the third album of depeche mode construction time again (1983) was the first one to include talented band member and arranger alan wilder to the mix. the album was recorded in john foxx s the garden studio in london and mixed in the famous hansa tonstudio in berlin, the latter being famous for its delivery of classic albums by artists like david bowie, iggy pop, nick cave and u2. experimenting with brand new instruments like the synclavier that allowed sampling to be manipulated musically, construction time again was a groundbreaking record that included industrial influences. these influences would come to full fruition on subsequent albums some great reward movlp940 and black celebration movlp947. songs like *pipeline*, *love in itself*, *shame* and *everything counts* turned out to become classic depeche material.

oberman knocks original version (white) is a laid-back affair housed within a glassy place of worship, echoing with monastic vocals, strings, wind instruments and field recordings, which are offset by synthetic beats, funk bass and entwined sleazy vocals.
in contrast autechres remix (black), panning out at just over 17 minutes long, is everything that you wouldd expect from the duo – a frantic, fractured and detailed to within an inch of its life piece, that has no need to build, but instead unravels and mutates into what is an unmistakable autechre crescendo.
whilst both versions play out at opposite ends of the tempo spectrum, what connects them is that they are both emotional machine music with guts and vigour.
