phat 2lp album from the mighty dj steaw

ltd edition color vinyl, auch auf seinem dritten album nutzt sebastian kramer aka redshape den für ihn prägenden sound von 90er-jahre-techno allgemein und speziell aus detroit nicht als zitat, sondern erzeugt mit seinen neuen tracks ein sehr spezielles, eigenes narrativ: düster, gespenstisch, und doch entschieden romantisch. in gewisser hinsicht ist -a sole game- sogar die erste echte redshape-lp überhaupt, die nun nichts mehr imitieren will, sondern sich durch selbstbewusstsein, selbstreflexion und souveränität ausweist. im klassischer redshape-manier begeben sich die acht tracks von -a sole game- auf eine reise durch nächtliche welten und düstere industrielandschaften, durchzogen von seltsamen stimmen und geräuschen. eines der wichtigsten ziele lag unüberhörbar darin, ein nahtlos perfektes, ganzheitliches elektronisches album zu produzieren, das ohne interludes oder typisches füllmaterial funktioniert. entsprechend warm und analog klingt die platte. letztendlich setzt redshape damit klassisches songwriting mit den codes von techno um und macht in seiner musikalischen entwicklung einen großen schritt nach vorne.

hailing from nashville, tennessee - a city better known for being the cradle of country music, jaundice and dzee form the backbone to the future dz duo, which has way less to do with johnny cash than with the hague sound, and their latest offering for the label they help co-run, tram planet records, although tracing rings of fire in its wake, further ratifies that lineage.
a shape-shifting collection of post-apocalyptic detroit electro and squelchy acid grooves sieved through filthy filters - perfect to play in your muscle car while speeding the highway at night, splint mask finds the duo at their most epic and unhindered. premiering today through our channels, sawed off is a high-octane 303 fuelled racer blazing with a hint of unit moebius weirdness and off-the-cuff rugged hardware spritz. if you like your electro scruffy, grinding and aggro like we do, future dz have you covered. get in the zone and feel the burn, you’re in for a treat.

due for an autumn release on far out recordings, rasif sees amaro freitas take a deserved step onto the world stage. from the afro-brazilian maracatu born on the sugar plantations of slavery, to the high intensity carnival rhythms of frevo and bai‹o, amaro s heavily percussive approach to jazz is as indebted to these pernambuco traditions as it is to coltrane, parker and monk.

armand (26 jahre, synths & drum machines) und clara (25 jahre, vocals & drum machines) lernten sich auf einer kunsthochschule bei paris kennen. er schwört auf den techno des berühmten warp-labels, sie sang bei den garage-rockern cannery terror. nach ersten diy-shows stieß das hippe label cracki records auf agar agar, 2016 erschien die debüt-ep -cardan-, auf der clara erstmals ihre rolle als hohepriesterin des goth auslebte: eine art wiedergeburt von siouxsie im gewand von donna summer. stücke, die klingen wie ein diskoider schamanischer trip, dunstig und ultra-langsam, ein aufruf zu besessenheit und hingabe. zwei jahre danach sind ihre konzerte monate im voraus ausverkauft. nun erscheint ihr mit spannung erwartetes debütalbum -the dog and the future-, wieder mit dem markenzeichen von agar agar: claras hingebungsvolle stimme schwebt über makellose, dunstige slow-disco instrumentals. es ist ein melancholisches, nostalgisches und zugleich poppig-futuristisches album, das sich thematisch um die virtuelle realität, um simulationen des lebens, um hunde und um die liebe dreht, und vor augenzwinkern in richtung pop-kultur, vor labyrinthischen rätseln und opium-geschwängerten schwingungen nur so strotzt. es oszilliert zwischen granatapfel großen herzen, einem himmel aus schatten, dem dunst der erde, mystischen zuckungen und dem schwarzen leder des nihilismus der neuen blank-generation.

more than ten years since he first emerged on skull disco, appleblim presents his debut album. the label he co-founded with shackleton was the first the world heard of his productions, but laurie osborne’s innate relationship with electronic music culture reaches back much further than those groundbreaking early days of dubstep. early days spent soaking up hardcore, jungle, techno and plenty more besides were fundamental foundations from which to spring into the then-unknown realms of sub-low half-step club music. at that time fwd>> and dmz were the church for this ritualistic sound, and appleblim was a regular fixture at both.

tadd mullinix, who s best known for the hip-hop he makes as dabrye and the acid-tinged house and techno under jtc, has added yet another alias to his repertoire, and it might be his most inventive project to date. x-altera and its debut album, the eponymous x-altera, were born from a fit of rediscovery. all at once, the ann arbor-based producer reconnected with the jungle he produced in the late 90s as half of soundmurderer & sk-1, revisited the forgotten b-sides of his drum & bass record collection, and fell back in love with the deep, melodic techno of detroit and london.
