two and a half minutes of drums rolling under a whirlwind of cranky guitars and vocals arguing from the bottom of a 1990’s boom box, that’s 51 black super. 11 tracks and 30 minutes to cross the usa, from california with pavement and weezer to ohio with guided by voices and the raspberries. 51 black super isnt a band to get lost on its way, or in futilities. written, composed, recorded in an emergency, with short and intense sessions, the debut album by 51 black super is made in the image of its creators: spontaneous and eager to get things out there. sounds like the strokes with less cocaine and more facial hair, said a californian rock critic after listening the two first few tracks.

uk techno stalwart ben sims adopts his ron bacardi alias for an outing on bass culture records, bringing with him three varying slices of 4x4-based music. d’julz has a deep penchant for bass and funk, and this is evident throughout the ep. we get off to a rugged start with ‘rock your body’, a deliciously dark slice of grumbling techno. intertwined with the morose bassline is a mysterious, tribal-esque female vocal, warped and twisted to add a primal feel to the track. on the flip, bacardi puts his a different hat on giving us ‘first effort’ a vivacious funk-laced hybrid, which teases you spitting out intermittent trumpets and other such live instruments. finally, ‘the money/dub’ goes straight into disco territory with that oh-so-familiar entrancing rhythm that will keep you fixed to its beat from start to finish. that filtered wah-wah guitar is impossible to resist, especially when combined with such crisp percussion. sheer quality from monsieur bacardi…

bruno pronsato’s debut album as archangel, the bedroom slant, released in 2014, saw the producer update the style he has developed over the last decade on labels such as hello?repeat, perlon, dfa and thesongsays, and in the process, manifesting his love of pop, rock and post-punk in his music for the first time. on this ep, selected tracks from the debut album are reworked by dean blunt, peter gordon & oliver coates. the vinyl release includes a downloadcode.

was wäre das leben ohne erotik? das dachte sich einmal mehr das diggler-label und setzt nach kurzen ausflügen in die science fiction seine berüchtigte serie the erotic world of... mit einer zusammenstellung des österreichischen komponisten gerhard heinz fort. das musikalische dargebotene spektrum könnte dabei nicht breiter sein: kiffer-rock, bossa nova, schlager, schmalz -- heinz lässt nichts unberührt und die cinematografischen glanzlichter à la liebesspiele junger mädchen, ich mache alles mit oder auch insel der 1000 freuden noch besser flutschen. gleich 19 mal wird die schönste sache der welt unverkrampft und mit gelegentlichem augenzwinkern besungen und bestöhnt, als gäbe es kein morgen mehr. aufgrund der stilistischen vielfalt ist abwechslung in jeder hinsicht garantiert: kaum hat man sich von dem anrüchigen -come shoot- (gesungen von the background studio groupies) erholt, wird man mit dem gleichermaßen schrägen wie furchtbaren -dampfnudeln- (aus dem streifen geh, zieh dein dirndl aus) schnell auf den boden der tatsachen zurückgeholt.

the title track * i wish* starts of the ep with its deep and fumy organ chords combined with filtered hats, clever vocal samples and harsh bass lines. next up on the a side you will find the pumping head nodder * holly fm*. swinging hats, guitar stabs, smooth pads with simple but very effective hook on top. the b side starts off with the slightly minimal track “keep on using me” (brother). this one with grim beats, organ pads, off beats punching in and out as the track steady builds with a rock solid perfectly tweaked bass. the last minutes on the b side is reserved for the dreamy yet hard hitting and raw gem * new toys*. pure basement love.

limited to 100 copies hand-stamped 12 inch.return to disorder is the new label from hamburg producer and dj helena hauff, known for her dark brand of ebm and electro-infused music and without doubt one of the best selectors currently playing in clubs. the act responsible for the debut release from return to disorder is children of leir, a leicester-based psych rock outfit whose influences come from mystical horror. not the sort of music one would immediately associate with hauff s floor pummelling dj sets and a hint that return to disorder will be dictated by hauffs tastes as opposed to a need to satisfy the beat. the four tracks present here are a fine introduction to children of leir, with their feedback-laden sound perfectly enhanced by the mastering skills of pete sonic boom kember.

killer techno ep... four tracks for your madness

siren sind darshan jesrani (metro area, startree) und dennis kane (disques sinthomme, ghost town). sirens erste ernsten recording sessions fingen im winter 2013 an, aber die anfänge ihrer zusammenarbeit reichen weiter zurück bis zu ihren gemeinsamen residencies im berühmten new yorker hot-spot apt und anderen parties, die sie organisierten. events mit namen wie camille 3000, adult section und strobe lodge wurden liebevoll gestaltet, mit gewagt romantischen grafiken und einem prägnanten spezifischen statement, dass kultiviertheit und sünde stets zusammen gehören konnte und immer sollte. sirens erste maxi * gauntlet* ist ein unbändiger und satter song, der alles von heavy disco, über westafrikanische gitarren, soundtracks und filmmusik, bis adrian belew mit einbezieht. veröffenlicht auf compost im herbst 2014, wurde sie sowohl von top-djs, als auch von der presse gefeiert. ihre zweite single * a/way* mit mr. reed bildet nun einen stolzen und kühnen kontrast zur ersten 12 inch. ein sonniger, luftiger trip, ein triumphsong für einen ungehemmten, selbstbewussten lebensstil. geerdet durch eine markante aber eingängige bassline, die an norman whitfield erinnert, und verziert mit bläser-parts, die einen hauch von burt bacharach mitbringen, wird der song von einem zügellosen, fröhlichen gitarren-groove angetrieben, der den spirit vom aufgeweckten rock & roll der späten 60s & 70s in sich birgt. die sich erhebende, klagende stimme von mr. reed schnürt alles zu einem glorreichen, bittersüßen paket, welches direkt für das herz bestimmt ist.

das limitierte doppel-vinyl enthält 32 kultklassiker aus der rock n roll-Ära, die von der new yorker punk band the cramps gecovert wurden. die zusammenstellung stammt von rock n roll-fachmann lucky parker, der mit hilfe der plattensammlung der the cramps masterminds lux interior und poison ivy die wurzeln der band aufzeigt.

invisible inc s second release comes courtesy of synthesizer krautrock maestros higamos hogamos. this ep s influences are clear: early john carpenter in his darkest, seediest hour, amon duul ii in heavy pagan-trance mode, the psychedelic sounds of garage rock all topped off with a heavy dose of jacking synthesizer funk.

das dritte und letzte kapitel der woolfy vs projections album-trilogie findet mit stations seinen krönenden abschluss, der mit den alben the astral projections of starlight aus dem jahr 2008 began und mit the return of love aus 2012 fortgeführt wurde. das konzept der alben-saga der band aus los angeles von simon james und dan hastie basiert lose auf den abenteuern des verschollenen astronauten captain starlight, der held des zazu songs, einem balearic rock klassiker, der auch den sound von woolfy vs projections auszeichnet, mitbeeinflusst hat, ein düsterer balearic und cosmic vibe, verbunden mit dem typischen west coast sound, disco dub, funk und hippie rock. stücke wie absynth (von resident advisor treffend mit air covering steely dan umschrieben), neeve oder set me loose können allesamt als moderne klassiker des genres bezeichnet werden.

a booming clavinet led banger from everyones favourite disco uncles, eric duncan and dean meredith. heavy on the lasers and scything hi hats with a bassline as deep as you would expect from these fellers. marcellus trademark sound is all over his remix - sultry rhodes and sweet, driving funk, and the central executives version strips it to the bone, revealing not a skeleton but a robot. a robot playing a fucking saxophone! rock on, dudes. golf channel every time!

blue mondays is a project of alex ferrazzi and keemani. both vinyl collectors and involved within the italian underground scene from the beginning of the early 2000s, they grew up cultivating different backgrounds, alex was always into disco and old school house music while keemani was more into new wave and rock vibes. merging their backgrounds inside the studio, they come to you with a dance floor oriented sound spanning nu disco to techno, based on dope beats, smoked out samples, deep basslines, and uplifting vibes.

iron me debuts on resopal for a grand sonic journey not only to the vibrant heart of the dancefloor. coupling contemporary 4/4 tracks with a bit unusual resopal style breakbeatish-tinged soundscapes and deep deep dub, iron me acts as both a skillfully composed portfolio of personal memories and a sublime collection of charming cuts. his unique mélange of emotional and functional elements works exceptionally well for the full-length format. each cut operates as its own little time capsule, storing bits and pieces of recollection and then magically transforming them into epic, beat-driven soundscapes. red bodden is an album for dancing wildly, relaxing, hoovering the house and losing yourself. a true musical journey.

a: a heavy spaced out disco b-side instrumental edit, something that had to be done.
b: a monster garage rock edit from the us.

”love will remember pharaon de winter” is said at the end of the record. pharaon de winter was a painter from north of france, who lived from the end of the xixth century to the beginning of the xxth century. today, pharaon de winter is reappearing again. it’s a band, but also the name of a song, which changed everything for his author. past leader of both bands toy fight and (please), maxime chamoux was playing since now a genre between north american rock of spoon and neutral milk hotel, and sophisticated british pop from prefab sprout or xtc. we find today in this new project songs navigating between french, for most part, and english. partners and friends since a long time, thomas pirot at the drums and raphael ankierman at the bass are playing alongside fx guéant-mata at the guitar. we also find mina tindle and her delicate voice appearing here and there. at last we don’t forget the goldsmith’s talent of canadian musician sandro perri who’s joining the band, highly recommended by pitchfork magazine with his album impossible spaces in 2011.

van bonn returns to his label van bonn records after releases on labels like traum, trapez and telrae. van bonn s travel to the magic rain forests and lonely beaches of the island borneo inspired him to compose music that takes you by the hand and leads you into the inner beauty of borneo. his new ep delivers two epic tunes with a total playtime of 24 minutes. the original mix is dominated by massive grooves, carefully layered sounds & field recordings from borneo. van bonn takes his time to let the tension rise slowly to finally erupt in a momentum that may remind the listener of krautrock and post-rock. the borneo dub adds a whole new level of deepness to the original track and formulates an atmosphere that can simply be described as fernweh. wether you listen to borneo in a club, on your stereo or with headphones it is always pure and true techno music for your heart, body and soul.

releasing under the moniker misanthrop since 2002, michael brauningers music reflects a foreboding sense of darkness, something that has been prevalent in his previous releases with the likes of critical recordings, neosignal and subtitles. misanthrop has utilised unfamiliar ways to push the envelope of his twisted, sinister sound for new ep *i need more*.
the automated refrain on *capitalism* reflects the stark coldness of misanthrops work, before unleashing an onslaught of off-beat breaks to display brauningers deft, often unpredictable production style.
*rock n roll*, a more familiar tear-out drum & bass track, bolstered by pummelling percussive flourishes and flashes of distortion throughout.
gaining support from the likes of skrillex, goldie, skream, alix perez and more, misanthrop has spent his 13 year career carving a sound that is wholly realised in this latest release. brutal, uncompromising and inherently forward thinking.

welcome back to the movielike resonating sound world of the 23s. already in 2008 the mysterious one-man band proofed with the album “bolivia” that they are trying to do another kind of music – something that isn’t entertainment, something that isn’t show, something that goes gently straight to your soul. now the producer from nord-rhine-westphalia did it again and tuned in the longplayer “flamingo”. anew he delivers a special kind of cinematic journey music that grooves opposite to his other, more rhythm based hypnotic dance productions. also as the 23s he produces pattern-based music, but it pursues a different intention: each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films that his inner eye creates unprejudiced. all ten tracks are romantic smooth operators. they put themselves in service of an artistic vision, in which the listener should get lost in music. the album can be seen as a love-letter to the movie scores of the french 70s cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements you can hear in the early cinema of peter greenaway. with double bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there and beats that recollect the warm jazz influenced soul of oldschool hip-hop the 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. you can listen to it attentive. or you can just play it in the back while doing whatever you like to do. it is recommended to play “flamingo” in a decent amount of volume as all loungey tracks begin to live bigger and brighter with sound intensity. if you play it flashy you will experience an atmospheric sometimes light-flooded, sometimes foggy 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls to fill the room between the notes with their very own milky fancy. soon the album will be accompanied by a bunch of remixes tuned in and twisted by producers like giegling and white artists edward, christian s of the cómeme tribe, canadian producer the mole and the german post rock and electronic music band to rococo rot.

twenty-eight homespun stunners from the alamo city s scrappiest souleros. the royal jesters were the kings of san antonio s cross-cultural teen scene in the 1960s, soundtracking lovelorn slow dances with their heart-sick harmonies. for the first time, english oldies gathers the best early doo-wop, r&b, and blazing latin rock and soul from these tex-mex masterminds - a simmering melting pot of diverse regional flavors, best served hot.

outta sight startet die neue serie *rarer stamps*, inspiriert durch die legendäre *rare stamps* serie auf dem stax-sublabel volt records ende der sechziger. *rarer stamps vol.1* widmet sich den detroiter soulgrössen barrett strong und gino parks mit einigen ihrer besten aufnahmen - echte raritäten!

over 10.000 years ago, after the last ice age, humans began to explore and settle the place now known as scotland. evidence of our ancestors can be found in the various rock carvings, standing stones, tombs and dwellings still scattered throughout the lands today. modern archaeological techniques can offer ever more detailed suggestions as to what these monuments might have meant, but it is still largely left to our imaginations to discern just what these spaces were used for.

founded in september 1981 in orléans, and originally dedicated to a kind of ‘modern punk rock’, d.stop released a first 7’’ the following year. this impossible-to-find debut release is now reissued on vinyl for the first time. the three tracks of the original 7’’ are augmented with 4 tracks that are released on vinyl for the first time ever on this very nice translucent vinyl 10’’ plus download code. after this first 7”, sonny brailleur (vocals) + phil lethon (guitar/bass) + klod lelook (organ, synths, drum-machines) , inspired by french band metal urbain, stylistically transformed into a more ‘synth punk’ kind of outfit and released their first mini-album nouvelles du front in september 1983 that has been reissued by desire on vinyl last september. one year after, the band already ceased to exist – or actually changed the name to les visiteurs du soir – to turn back to the old name in 1985 by releasing a limited cassette. despite the very few releases by this gifted act, d.stop are considered to be one of the most interesting and under-rated cult acts in french cold wave.

as with the best techno, the best minimalist records, the best krautrock ventures, this first model alpha lp hints at a weird sense of time, not totally of the past, not totally of the future, not at all of the present. something in between, a time travel machine that can take you on a random journey. listening to those tracks is a bit like making time’s flow stop.

the time has come for badboe to return to once again rock the floors across the planet with an explicit 4-track party breaks ep. the ghetto funk testament is badboes interpretation of the sound of ghetto funk that has been causing so much hype over the last few years. the 4 funky bangers on this double a-sided ep is taking it back to where it all started - as sample-heavy - upbeat party smashing music! this is the first major release from badboe since his successful second album pump up the funk that dropped in 2012. followed by an instrumental ep and a remix album, which very much celebrated the ghetto funk sound with tunes from the very best in the scene.
