exzellente remixes von zwei der feinsten acts der elektronischen musik, alva noto und plaid, für monkeytowns jungtalent gajek. während carsten nicolai aka alva noto das verspielte *restless water shapes* in einen steinkalten düsteren bassline-roller mutieren lässt, zaubern plaid mit euphorisch strahlender electronica ein lächeln in alle ecken unserer gesichter hinein. diese maxi wirkt wie eine hypermoderne clubnacht komprimiert auf 2 tracks.

after a break of 5 years, alva noto continues his xerrox series with »xerrox vol. 3«, entitled »towards space«, a journey that started with »xerrox vol. 1«, referring to the »old world«, and »xerrox vol. 2«, heading »to the new world«.

>univrs< follows on from and develops the concept of the album unitxt (raster-noton, 2008). whereas the focus of unitxt was on the processing of rhythmic patterns (unit = unit of measurement, element) and information (txt = data, language), with univrs the focus is on the conceptual differentiation of a universal language (universum/universal = unity, entirety). the 14 tracks of univrs have evolved from a live context, hence the approach is more continuous and dense.

for its ten tracks the album will readopt two original tracks and two alternative versions from the ep while additionally introducing six completely new songs. as a very special feature >katze< and >mimikry< will feature vocals/words by the model veruschka (known from the movie >blow up< by m. antonioni). the album will be released with a special 16 page booklet that will present original text/drawings of blixa bargeld that developed during the recordings.

being friends and admirers of each others work for a long time, electronic music composer / visual artist alva noto (carsten nicolai) and composer / voice- artist blixa bargeld (also known as singer of einstu&#776,,,rzende neubauten and guitarist of nick cave and the bad seeds) decided to join forces to initiate a collaborative project in 2007.

baustelle is the title of the new album by agf and gudrun gut under their collaborative name, greie gut fraktion. to accompany the long player, they have also released a 12 inch of the lead song, wir bauen eine neue stadt, complete with remixes by alva noto and wolfgang voigt.

xerrox vol. 2 undertakes an intense journey and affords the luxury to take its time. &#8233,,while xerrox vol. 1 (r-n 78) referred to the old world with its tradition deeply rooted in classical music, xerrox vol. 2 tries to access a new world . it works with samples that have been gathered and developed in the usa û the so-called new world û where the album also has almost completely been recorded.&#8233,,the dramatic and dynamic approach of xerrox vol. 1 on vol. 2 has been replaced by a structural density. instead of working with individual musical entities the new album rather develops an overall, linear aesthetic that refers to musical strategies of film music. hence there are no implicitly singular pieces, but open musical structures û a journey without a predetermined target.

nach beendigung des >transall< zyklus & der veröffentlichung der >xerrox< serie nähert sich alva noto seiner früheren rhythmischeren arbeit an. >unitxt< könnte eine fortsetzung seiner >transspray< arbeit sein und erinnert in seiner radikalität und die 90er werke von pan sonic

alva noto aka carsten nikolai zeigt uns das weisse rauschen der reproduktion & nimmt das kopieren als kreatives tool wahr. theoretisch, aber nicht trocken

carsten nicolai aka alva noto + ryuichi sakamoto treiben ihr projekt weiter an. nach >vrioon< und >insen< wird mit >revep< nun weiter an der akustisch - elektronischen schnittstelle gerabeitet

vol. 4 of the xerrox project

four expertly constructed techno tracks with an acidic touch from toni alvarez.

zeb wayne returns with a majestic and scintillating song titled ‘wulfman’, featuring a trio of top tier remixers including alva noto, calibre and radio slave. following the release of ‘float’ on rekids last year, ‘wulfman’ is a beautiful song that demonstrates how musically versed wayne is as a producer, blending a serene vocal by ziwi, with intricate sounds to create a truly beautiful song from start to finish. alva noto, who composed the film score for the revenant alongside ryuichi sakamoto, as well as being the co-founder of esteemed minimal imprint raster noton, is the first of three heavyweight remixers. the renowned german producer employs his signature elements of grit, static and glitch resulting in an inimitable melancholic cut. well respected for traversing numerous electronic music sub-genres, as evident in his recent album on craig richards’ the nothing special, calibre ups the energy in his remix using sultry synths, syncopated percussion and mesmerising effects. concluding the colossal package, rekids founder radio slave creates a club-ready reinterpretation of his own, complete with fine-tuned kicks, looped vocals and a heady bassline.

leo james delivers salvation, his third installment in an ongoing series of 12&#8243,,s that sees him exploring a single conceptual theme across both sides of a record. salvation (part 1) burns slowly, a hybrid of industrial and balearic beat. salvation (part 2) builds on a relentless, monotone bass line. metal percussion enveloped in swirling reverb interplays with programmed congas and white noise. support from jamie tiller, soft rocks and suzanne kraft.

allez! real tone is back with another fresh new ep, full of deep flavours from two underground rebels. as always we are focused on the highest quality and the best music, regardless of genre, regardless of style and most definitely not concerned with the latest trends.
our man at the controls for this journey into the depths of electronic music is alland byallo, a los angeles-born producer who really hit his stride while living in san franscisco. it was there where he became one of the team behind the west coast citys legendary kontrol parties, along with sammy d from pillow talk, greg bird, nikola baytala, and craig kuna. the seminal events gained all promoters worldwide notoriety and helped alland to evolve his style. he is currently residing in berlin where, of course, he has really found himself musically so consider this new ep a cocktail of west coast usa meets berlin. a product of allands melting pot upbringing, yet oh-so-cohesive and built for dancefloor workouts, as proven by his outings on labels such as liebe*detail, poker flat, dirt crew and now real tone records.
