joy adegoke und wim janssens aka joy wellboy sind seit jahren unzertrennlich, ein paar in leben und kunst. ihr zweites album wedding klingt so komplett und vielfŠltig, wie man sich ein popalbum 2015 nur wŸnschen kann: songwriting trifft crooning, elektrobeat kuschelt mit chanson, es gibt minnegesang auf der tanzflŠche, herzzerrei§ende duette und engtanzballaden fŸr die ewigkeit.

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.

8 track compilation, a dystopian ending of the 2014 year!

parrish smith s debut of dystopic forbidding sets the tone of this label s impressive first release with a superb stark, acid ridden slab of body music. helena hauff adds to the proceedings with her remix of pankows >das vodkalied< taking no prisoners and using heavy percussion in contrast to a wonderfully tense set of arpeggiations, which all descend into skull crushing pressure. carrying over to the flip side are pankow, pioneers of the italian industrial/ebm scene, with two tracks from their legendary first tape -throw out rite- from 1983. with das vodkalied disembodied vocals are cut up and come from every direction driven by a raw, off-kilter energy and pounding beat. i m food for you cranks up the drive and anxiety to create a killer track based around stark arpeggiation. last of all, perseus traxx provides an acidic stripped down venting of frustrations which he spits out with vehemence.

a striking smooth balancing act to disclose the pure soul of techno- without to be straight techno. actually its unnecessary to define a specific genre as daniel runs decent dissolution of borders. the new daniel bortz – straight, nude, rough and heartbreaking. the bella avgvsta ep is also a homage to his hometown. reflection of his experiences and impressions which he relates with augsburg and a present to all of you libertines who love music in its purest form.

for more than ten years soul jazz records have been exploring and documenting the sound of new orleans funk. now we turn their attention to the flipside of this musical coin - new orleans soul. these two musical forms share a lineage that begins with the citys enormous rhythm and blues explosion in the post-war 1940s and 1950s. new orleans soul incorporated the soulful vocals of the gospel church, the driving beat of rhythm and blues, as well as traces of the second-line parade bands and the latinized rhythms of the city. this album tells the story of new orleans soul and comes complete with extensive sleevenotes, exclusive photography, supreme sound quality and comes as super-heavy, super-loud limited-edition double vinyl album + download code.
