alter is the new album from belgium-based double bass player and electronic producer otto lindholm. divided into four colour-inspired, long-form movements, alter takes off from lindholms previous work a self-titled album released in 2015 on icarus records, and pushes the already abundant palette of sounds even further. this new work is more brooding and hypnotic. a deep, resonating bass is present - hinting at the likes of greek, chamber-doom merchants mohammad but perhaps with more attention placed upon textures and melody. the record moves at a funereal pace and opener fauve hits abyssal depths from the outset. a bowed melody is coaxed through the throbbing bass with dissonant harmonics drawing you in and holding you close. the ghostly beginnings of alyscamps create an overwhelmingly tense atmosphere where acoustic and electronic elements collide and evolve into a heaving, ceremonious drone. shafts of light emerge through the fog but the tone remains a haunted one. closer, heliotrope, strikes a more hopeful note. a lighter, more open feel emerges - bringing to mind early work of the rachels or perhaps deaf center.

another hot stepper on lion charge

when he proceeded further into the production process, he limited himself using the computer less and instead learning to trust his intuition, the flow of his fingers and to use his own voice as an instrument. this led to an album that is rather hard to pin down genre-wise but even easier to connect to emotionally when you listen to it from start to finish.

the second album from basic house takes a sober turn towards the thematic intersection of occult knowledge and globalised black operations, brokering a piercing anxiety throughout from the tension between the scale of the politics being invoked and the familiarity of the covert identity tactics to music cultures, subcultures, and the like.

vinyl only release !
roduced by roman flügel and jörn elling wuttke / published by copyright control mastered by dubplates and mastering, recut by stefan betke at scape mastering berlin alter ego recordings is very pleased, to rerelease this acid jesus classic, which is sounding just as fresh as it sounded, when it was released on klang elektronik back in 1997. the record was out of print since over 15 years and the tracks were not availlable on any digital platform. based on a very light, but striking ground construction, roman flügel and jörn elling wuttke leading their listeners over delicate fm-synthesis-sounds, minimal clonky bass patterns and snappy percussions to a long intermission breakdown, which reminds us of a starting boeing 747. where “interstate” plays like an inspired peakhour-jam should, “turkey skank” and “hibernation drive-, on the b-side, take on cooler tones for a headier machine-funk ride. the record was played out by dj’s like andrew weatherall, matthew herbert, luke slater, baby ford, dj hell, ellen allien, sven väth, ricardo villalobos, michael mayer etc.

vinyl only. inner balance welcomes french duo arcarsenal, whose super-refined analog improvisations have found premium company on labels like finest hour, underground quality and their own bass cadet records. meditative, cyclical, distilled grooves with a fierce low-end are the order of the day, placing this ep squarely in the nearly 25 year-old lineage drawn from maurizio through bluetrain and thor and in to the bags of the verveines and cloutiers of today. whether it s the reverb-laden soundscapes of the a-side or the loopy mind-traps on the flip, these four tracks will animate and intrigue in equal measure.

another debut for the new bass culture release. for bcr013, we welcome swedens joel alter. as a trained violinist and composer for the swedish national theatre, joels first steps into the world of electronic composition came with an exotic mixture of classical influence and modern inspiration, from acts such as depeche mode, jean-michel jarre and front 242. a key figure on the swedish music scene since 1995, joel has always seen his music as stemming from the meeting of a variety of artforms. his first steps onto the international circuit came with the signing of material to int. deejay gigolo and minus. since then, he has developed a strong relationship with hamburg label, room with a view, featuring on seven releases since early 2009, as well as releasing on berlin based label sweatshop...

joel alter blew us away some months ago with his soul clap release on sweatshop! a much under-rated record which makes things go wild everytime its being dropped. now he is back strong with more straight pumping chicago-inspired tracks that continues alter s forays into the rougher, tougher side of house music. simple and effective tracks that reminds us of early raw house projects of jeff mills with basic elements and phat drum machines. joel alter going back to the basics and pushing the right buttons!

the solid tumbling tones found on this ep are all thats needed as an introduction to these two accomplished producers latest creation. both strong forces in their own right, the pair come together once again on sweatshop to present their vision of dancefloor harmony, and mystery! sirens is the aptly titled track whose crazy vibe is encapsulated by jacking, swinging percussion, wild pitching synth stabs and a haunting soprano soloist letting loose! this needs to be experienced to be believed, but the proof will be in the dancefloor, hands in the air and minds expanded! moirae works the tension with dense filtered stabs and crisp solid state percussion, driving this deep slab of dark dance into blissful moments of release. mellow yet urgent, its a raw, purist electronic statement! joel alter also offers up a special edit which focuses the groove in a slightly more kinetic direction, with reduced, aquatic synth work and a classic club energy that makes it an ideal addition to the package.

sweatshops third release rolls on in with two hot, old-school-vibed productions from joel alter! swedish-berliner alter turns in two fresh, yet raw, cuts that are perfect for the winter club season, and a special edit from label boss savas pascalidis also features. lead cut soul clap is a heavy metal bass weapon for the house or techno floors. pure adrenal action is on hand from the outset, where joels sub-assured kick and ravey, filthy organ riff works the groove. direct and straight to the point, its a strong, forward leaning tool that is sure to get the fires burning in early 2010. savas pascalidis also re-works soul clap with his own edited version, working the 909 into overtime and turning up the intensity even higher! classic and tough chicago vibes all the way!
