after 9 successful years and 36 releases on their label >festplatten<, the teichmann brothers are already unleashing their third release, transistor vamp, on their new artist label teichtracks. true to the motto of the tt-series this offspring of analogue machinery is also designated for the dancefloor. the title track is a 12 minute trip, an unstoppable modulating organism from the deepest depths that subtly and powerfully creeps forth. you smell the greasy oil of detroit, you inhale the dusty air of berlin and when you open your eyes, the next day has already begunà here, the past is just as present as the present. deja-vu? or did transistor vamp already infect you during one of the brothers many live sets? those who turn the record over will find, alongside a condensed 7 minute edit of the title track, another independent micro organism. micro is a game of rhythm and bass, reduced to the very essence of groove. a poker face of a track whose accumulative tension spans 6 minutes. like a balloon filled to bursting it knows how to stretch its limits and, without badding an eyelid, it waits for the explosion. minimal? of course! but here you can still hear the groan of the mixer and effects!

john talabot is a youngster from barcelona with a rather special way of approaching music. borrowing his schools name for his alias and the most diverse samples for his music, he produces expansive and iconoclastic housey tracks. his influences range from flamenco to northern soul, from african music to traditional asian songs and he s inspiration sources go from the profound and sensual house of moodyman and labels such as sound signature or kdj to disco music, chicago house, pop or techno, whatever he likes. sounds like a bass kick and a sampler, he says us in his myspace, no less. this young producer and tireless musical tracker has the ability not just to find the appropriate samples but also to conjugate them wisely. in a great exercise of sonic inventiveness, guitars, strings and keyboards are combined in his tracks with rhythms and vocals with african reminiscences, to give us his own vision of house music, original and personal, but yet very effective. cliche allergic, songs like naomi, korlee or afrika sound cosmic and tremendously emotional without losing sight of the dance floor (thats what we call fat beats). his tracks are organic, human, full of life, the kind of music that keeps not only your foot moving but also your heart tingling.

first release for this new italian label, who claim to bring techno back to its top level. we re inclined to agree with those sentiments, as are the others who have received promos of the release. the a side consists of two deep and dark techno tracks, that should also find favour with more minimal djs. they are apparently by a popular northern european artist, going under the guise of ????. the label has kept such a secret that we dont even know who it is. on the b side, we have a soz adams (esperanza, archipel, gumption) remix of label head obtane and fris, which is a retro chicago style excursion, and german duo sebastian herre and obscure close the ep with a more detroit techno inspired track.

the parkwalker is one of affie yusuf s monikers under which he released a handful of deep, soothing and hypnotic house gems on funknose, back in the 90 s. some people may also recall house of 909 releases on pagan or alola. we think it s time to get the parkwalker character out there again, walking the parks in search of magic potions and analog children. we think it s time for the parkwalker to rise again and intoxicate innocently wandering souls with his almost therapeutically caressing deep house magic. nowar has the honour and privilege to relaunch the parkwalker with its first release, degeneration. two deep spiritual house gems to which you dance with your eyes closed, melting away to otherworldly spaces. degeneration instantly talks to your soul and dictates the rest of your body with primitive universal moves and grooves. organic, sexy, and soulful music for mind and body. opendance continues the journey on the flipside with equal hypnotic deepness and electronic soothing sounds for angelic tribes in an imaginary future... essential house music

how many of todayÆs producers have been releasing music for 13 years? not many. how many will still be recording 13 years from now? hard to say. what can be said without doubt however is that donnacha costello is in this for the long haul. since 1996 he has released dozens of 12&#8243,,,s and made significant contributions to electronic music from 2001Æs classic ambient album together is the new alone to 2004Æs universally acclaimed colorseries to 2006Æs rigorously conceptual 6x6=36 amongst others. shedding the skin of his ten year old minimise label, costello emerges from its semantic stranglehold to bring us his new label and platform look long. from this first release it is clear that costello aims to produce work of lasting quality and beauty with little regard for what a turbulent marketplace might expect of him. complexity and simplicity are addressed in equal measure here and with some surprise we find traces of eric satie, chet baker, pat metheny and steve reich. perhaps unsurprisingly we also find the unmistakable traces of grace and emotion that have become costelloÆs trademarks
