almost a year after his last outing, london-based vester koza is making a welcome return to the fray with a new ep entitled otr. featuring four atmospheric cuts, for the first time it finds him step away from his own maslo label to join houndstooth. fusing elements of dub, ambient and idm into moody sound worlds with you right at the centre, he has a subtle but seductive touch that has always marked him out. an on-going interest in security, technology and privacy characterizes his work, as does a passion for the vintage and modern gear he uses when producing. all of that is evident here in his most cerebral and conceptual release yet.

been to long - the well remebered chorus of a successfull parisian duos single hit comes easily to mind while thinking of the latest internasjonal release. after a long hiatus - which feels like surely way long - we restart with one half of the formerly well known milanese pair - boogie drama - and it s very own lele sacchi. deejaying since 1995 sacchi has been and is still one of italys and especially milans musical icons - at least for electronic and alternative worlds, presents himself in his signature style. high on the heals of the success with rebirths smash lele sacchi vs blonde redhead - youre only kosmiquest is dark and cryptic, with a mean but very neat and elegant bassline plus an unmatched groove and feel for the floor. this time well balanced with a tad into psycheledic strinig heaven, wich combined with electronic effects is his ultimate kosmische quest. the whole thing is contered by an airy and superbright no less danceable lauer version and a fantatsic relaxed italo take on kraut which can propably be non done much better than byprins thomas walking on that lunga strada!

house is ok, but oli, janis and homeboy never said they were exclusively a house label. introducing house of life and dgf to the world, they make a slight change in direction. this split 7 inch single leaves the world of 4/4 interpretations and takes the imprint to the land of creep hop and trip pop. house of life is a project of chaveli sifre riestra & nikias chryssos. they make songs about men who dance with no pants, jesus christ, satan, and darkroom murderers. their lyrics are channeled through occult rites, internet forums, computer codes, and therapy sessions.hans with no pants tells the story of a guy who likes to party with kids, eat cake and serve cool drinks. he lives in a house by the beach and invites guests to dance with him, but what goes on in his basement remains an unspoken mystery. on the flip, a number from dgf, a project of nikias & label honcho janis. greif meine hand was originally written for the original soundtrack of nikas short film the grandfather. after it got to the 2nd place on the intergalactic fm demo competition and got props by the likes of i-f, rude66 and dj tlr, we decided to give it a second chance by putting it on this lush 45.

das könnte leicht schnulzig oder sogar esoterisch wirken. der fakt, dass dem nicht so ist, ist die große stärke von patrick o laoghaire aka i have a tribe. mit seinen gefühlen im reinen zu sein und diese durch die musik auszudrücken. nicht einfach einem trend folgen oder mit einfachen musiktheoretischen strukturen radio-hit-singles produzieren. wie schon davor, lassen die songs auf diesem album viel platz für patrick’s stimme, manchmal kann man sogar den parkett boden unter den füßen knarzen hören. seine interpretation des instruments ist hoch innovativ, er lockt melodien hervor und produziert unprätentiöse rhythmen. vermittelt seine beobachtungen, gedanken und emotionen auf zwei ebenen. das klavier und seine stimme sind die eckpfeiler von “beneath a yellow moon”, und patrick ist von beidem ein meister.

after rebolledo’s successful debut album super vato (cÓmeme cd lp 01) from two thousand eleven, his highly praised mix cd momento drive (kompakt cd 117) from two thousand fourteen, and all-around mayhem during his adventures as one half of the pachanga boys, xalapa s finest returns with his second solo album mondo alterado: a recollection of moments and experiences from recent years, colorful mnemonics encompassing the brightest and the darkest. the result is a kind of soundtrack for a movie that doesn t exist, a sonic journey designed like a mixtape that faithfully reflects rebolledo s background as dj and producer. nine tracks connect for one overarching narrative, sharing elements, motives, details, as they blend together. the artist s signature can be found all over the place, roaming between straight, rock-drenched drumming, sinister atmospheres, raw synth textures, exciting peaks and foggy bottoms - but always following the kinetic flow and relentless drive which are such a big part of rebolledo s compelling charme.

after his turn in conga radio, roberto makes his debut on good timin with four-tracks of classy bangers. leading the charge is the shuffling -junk rudder,- a piece of flanged out club gear that has the grace and grit to take any party to -that next level.- meanwhile, -atomic- is a not-quite peak-hour stomper, while -oceanic- is the sound of goa trance if the drug of choice was high-end coconut water. finally, -twilight- sounds like something bruce hornsby might cook up if he got arrested and could only talk to his lawyer through a broken moog.

british techno producer tom dicicco makes his debut on delsin now after many fine releases on off minor recordings, the corner and his own run out run and inner surface music. he is someone with a textural richly, forceful sound that is dark and abstract yet enriched with very real emotions and here he is on point once more with some of his most sensitive and cerebral cuts yet.
