after one year of high energy industrial and punk-leaning music, kess kill presents something slightly more contemplative: the vinyl debut of the swedish act grand mal x. the solna based duo started in 2010 and was first known from the cassette scene, which was also where we stumbled across their work. drawing from a long and wide palette of influences — from osho dynamic meditation and eu highways, to artists like suicide, coil and rune lindblad — their music breathes an ethereal yet catchy air, a difficult line to tread. the fact that one of the members is active at the legendary experimental ems studios in stockholm might be the reason for the unusual amount of depth and maturity, steering the music sternly away from the plainly accessible. opener ‘late night call’ is a brooding and growling number perfect for setting the mood in any room or occasion needing an infusion of sweaty sexual energy. ‘speed of light’, the record’s most up-tempo song, leans towards both synth pop and electro-punk. on the flip ‘the trip’ does the exact opposite of the opener, winding things down both emotionally and energy wise, replacing sex appeal with lithium-lined angst, not unlike alan wilder at his deepest. ending the ep is ‘rabbit’, an unadulterated trip down a similarly named hole for those who feel like falling. summed up it’s the most abstract but surprisingly catchy kess kill release to date, an essential beacon in grasping the label’s concept.

there are depths in humanity which one cannot explore, as there are mephitic caverns into which one dare not penetrate. madness in any direction, at any hour. the anatomy of human destructiveness, a hole like a sewage drain for the fine clear coat of civilisation, a place where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools. if there is such a dark moloch which deviously knots a thread within us, with which to hold us and draw us down an eerie and delirious path that we would never otherwise have set foot on, then d. carbone’s mephistophelian alter ego honzo pulls us with his 4th installment “distopia - un mondo indesiderabile” right into its gaping abyss, leading us there where we would have never consented to go.
panic. it creeps up the spine like the rst rising vibes of an acid frenzy. the haunting chill upon your neck. there is a sound intensity makes while echoing through the body, the epinephrine pumping through the jugular vein, voices from unknown origin, the blood throbbing through the numb extremities, heart palpitations, the flashing visions, cold sweat, the heavy breathing, hyperventilation, dissociation, fight-or-flight. honzo gives us a vision of what it means to truly be in a world of terror and angst and in the secret bloodlit dark behind our eyes we enjoy the cathartic abreaction this brings us.

flora cash sind ein us/skandinavisches duo, das sich zur aufgabe gemacht hat, die diversität menschlicher beziehungen musikalisch darzustellen. dabei dringen sie an orten, an denen tränen vergossen, das mobiliar ramponiert und trennungen diskutiert werden. nachdem sie sich online kennengelernt haben und dort auch direkt auf den gemeinsamen nenner „musik“ gekommen sind, erhielt ihr atmospherisch tiefgehender vibe direkt großen zuspruch von z.b. the line of best fit, indie shuffle, noisey us, paste, the music ninja, earmilk, interview magazine, nylon und vielen weiteren.
mit dem release ihres albums „nothing lasts forever (and it’s fine)“ konfrontieren sich flora cash mit ihrem bisher herausfordendsten moment als musiker. sie teilen eine schwere, rohe art der angst mit dem hörer, die erst körper und geist berührt und es im laufe der zeit schafft, sich in fast jeden lebensbereich einzuschleichen.
das duo schafft es, ihre tiefgreifende liebe für akustische klanglandschaften mit einer priese ätherischer produktion zu würzen, die an mt wolf, poliça, vogue dots und kings of convenience erinnert. durch den schmerzvollen dialog zwischen shpresas beobachtungen und coles leiden erschafft das duo ein interessantes, inter-dimensionales und trotzdem mächtiges stück musik.

a project that came to life fuelled by collectors obsession and a lifelong willingness to dive head- first into unknown musical wormholes, miles whittaker and sean canty have never been defined by a singular musical trajectory. their opening salvo of releases dabbled with the aesthetic of the occult and provided an alternate, parallax view of the italian library records with which they were both obsessed at the time, but as their long running mixtape series and brilliantly curated dds label attest, their interests extend far outside the crevices of early electronic music and into dance music, dancehall, roots, jungle, techno, industrial, noise and beyond. while 2013s testpressing series provided an outlet for mostly club-based productions shot from the hip, wonderland has been constructed with a narrative in mind.from the clipped hardstyle of the opening curzon, through the jaunty dancehall mutations of animal style and fulledge, exotica/house refractions on hardnoise, the frankly ridiculous, bassbin destroying jungle ructions on sourcer, or the extended tease of overstaying, its probably the most enjoyable and loose-limbed hour of music in their catalogue, or that youll likely hear in these weird, angst-ridden times.

executive slacks began in the hot, humid summer of 1980 philadelphia by matt marello, john young and albert ganss, three bored, broke, anxious art students. starting out with performance art in subways, they soon took their angst-ridden act to galleries and night clubs. the band found their moniker in a run-down bookstore after seeing an ad for men

after spending the majority of 2009 in hollywood, chanes briefly returned home to finish up songs for what would become his 2010 release, an experimentation in instrumentation. the 15-track tape, presented by house shoes, exposed us all to the nomadic 21-year-old producer from canton, michigan. chanes would spend the next two years working between home and brooklyn, before relocating to arizona, where he would release his follow up project, renegade hands, (insect records 2013). presented again by shoes, hands solidified chanes as one of the most promising young producers in the country.
fast-forward to 2016, and at 27, this self-titled debut takes us circa 2007 - 2009 with the soul-chopping salad days of his mother s basement, through the alternative sampling williamsburg, brooklyn sessions of 2010. if the melancholy desert psychedelia of his isolated four years in perpetual southwestern summer gives us a glimpse into his growing electronic influences, then the angst of his winter homecomings are hiding under the aggressive parka weather beats that first caught the attention of detroit’s underground.
fittingly, chanes’ debut lp comes full circle, finishing the album back in the place it all started and releasing it with long-time supporter house shoes and street corner music.

nice price deal !!! at last! beatboxer, lyricist and singer mark boombastik finally releases his album adios berlin, produced with eduard delgado lopez (bass guitar and more). no more pseudonyms, no frills, but intimacy between sense and nonsense: a grand record. adios berlin is: champagne and unpaid rent. it is: love and hate - it is: a conviction and an absolution of the possibility to be different, to live differently. it is: the mainstream suitability of the peculiar, like cooking without a recipe. it is: tomato stains in a kitchen, scratches on a record, scars on a shin. it is: a swan song and a new beginning. an album like a speech, between accapella and beatbox, punk and rough cut - techno and experiments for a special audience.

visonia returns with the anticipated debut album release entitled, impossible romance. commencing with juana de arco, which edges finely the fragile border between expectant angst and hopeful optimism, this opening piece pretty much sets the tone for the album. undulating between the highs and lows of human emotion which beautifully encompasses visonias own conception of art to hold hands and contribute to humanity to give beauty, wisdom, or to simply open the listeners mind in order to reflect and ask questions of ones own self, ones own existence what we have here is at times a poetic soundscape of emotions, feelings, fears and positive expression. the album, in its double vinyl format includes the previously available collaboration with dopplereffekt, namely die reisen, alongside an equally striking collab with new wave/synth pop artist, mad moizel in the form of beat frequencies and late addition to the album – the sleek, driving vision of between lies and real looks

after last years album *love & devotion* the husband and wife duo of mike paradinas and lara rix-martin follow up with *weird drift*. the album shows just how much their ability to write confident and thoughtful pop songs has developed, while still being able to retain the sleepy cushion of steamy synth pop that made the first record so rewarding to listen to. this time album features the vocals of a vezelay, a.k.a. french singer and producer matthieu le berre, who brings a gentle poised falsetto to the duos productions along with a delicate but hopeful angst. the vinyl lp comes with download code for the full album.

the unknown heißt nicht nur der erste song, den sie für ihr gleichnamiges zweites album geschrieben hat, dillon thematisiert hier die instanz im leben, für die es keinen namen, keine beschreibung, keine grenzen gibt. das unbekannte kann alles sein: die sehnsucht, die liebe, der verlust, die vergänglichkeit, die angst oder das verlangen.
die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive cd-version des albums.

with fans like amon tobin, skrillex and noisia (whove signed them to their division recordings label), youd expect neosignal to offer something different - and the german duo (aka drum & bass heroes phace & misanthrop) certainly dont disappoint. their debut album raum und zeit including the single planet online is out now! their influences range from can to kraftwerk and joy division to led zeppelin, and, while their music has elements of early krautrock, industrial and 80s ebm (electronic body music), its powered by 21st century, bass-driven production.

exploitation is the new film by dutch independent filmmaker edwin brienen. enfant terrible produced the soundtrack for this gothic-noir satiric fresco. 90 minutes of music to be enjoyed both as true soundtrack as well as a sequel to previous enfant terrible compilations... but more dramatic and ritualistic in the way the record is building up. it will please fans of minimal electronics and (post) industrial music but also moves into different styles such as idm, tekno, angst pop and chanson, while always keeping a dark and cold mood and/or dream state feeling throughout... limited edition of 250 copies!

>stereotype< the second single from bristol industrial dub pioneer mark stewarts recent album the politics of envy gets reworked by a host of guest producers. hyper dub duo hype williams unravel stereotype into a fiercely breath taking dub-spectacle, unfolding three-quarters of the way through into a sky-bound grand finale. fred venturas italoconnection remix radiates with a cosmic-coated, sugary burst of popular 80s synth and as expected plenty of italo spark & flair. daniel b of front 242 pulls the originals fuse, and rewires it into what you would kinda imagine a 31st century electronica frankenstein would sound like. renowned techno figure perc gets angst and intense with a heavy, mechanical but beautifully crafted remix destined for the most no-nonsense of floors. chicago native chrissy murderbot channels the same high impact baltimore sound that you will find in machinedrum and schlachthofbronx productions, carrying us out guns blazing with ballistic footwork drum beat firing. finally, mark stewarts dub version of the song and a taster from his upcoming >exorcism of envy< lp to be released later in the autumn.

die zweite single auskopplung aus dem aktuellen album >swing lo magellan< der dirty projectors. in >about to die< gibt ein markant-trockenes schlagzeug den rhythmus vor, an den sich sänger david longstreth aber scheinbar nicht halten will. selten klang existentielle angst so entzückend!

die zweite 7inch-auskopplung aus dem aktuellen album >i predict a graceful expulsion< von cold specks auf mute. die neue single >hector< setzt ihren doom soul erneut perfekt um, handelt der song doch vom imaginären freund bzw. von einem dämonen namens hector. >i want this song to scare people.< so al spx über >hector<. wenn die songs so eisig und zugleich warm klingen wie hier, lassen wir uns gerne angst einjagen.

wer mit freddy fischer und seiner cosmic rocktime band noch nicht so recht vertraut sein sollte, braucht vielleicht doch erst ein paar stichworte. orientierungshilfen. da hört man also einen jazzrock, den es aber geradewegs auf den tanzboden zieht. und disco. auch diese lässige eleganz der lieder, die manfred krug mal gesungen hat in den siebzigern und damit selbst die ddr etwas swing schenkte, wenigstens für einen moment. und jetzt vielleicht noch eine weitere glitzerkugel voll disco dazu. das steckt man dann alles in einen schicken smoking, und schon steht da ein freddy fischer da.

das nun erscheinende, gleichnamige live-album faengt die energie und magie des >projekt seerosenteich< ein, ist erinnerung fuer alle die, die dabei waren und ein großer musikalischer moment fuer alle anderen.

sven wegner hat es wieder getan! nachdem sein letztes release eher verträumt war, schmeisst er uns nun eine sommergranate vor die füsse, um die tanzflächen zum explodieren zu bringen. elegant, deep, verspielt, hüpftauglich, groovigste vocals und er hält sich nicht lange auf mit irgendwelchen aufbauten. er fällt über dich her, du denkst, das ist schon der hauptteil des tracks und bumm, setzt er noch einen darüber. wäre der track nicht so elegant hätte ich jetzt angst vor trommelwirbeln und ähnlichen no-gos, aber sven entäuscht uns nicht. zusammen mit dem ebenfalls extrem tanzbaren frank-martiniq-remix ein echter sommerhit!

doppel-vinyl im klappcover, album-cd inklusive.

nice price deal !!! wt records takes another expected turn by releasing a mini lp of new wave tracks from momentform. the first and most dj-able track, >momentform is fake<, spans the gap between new wave and house with 707 rhythmic patterns and raw, unedited bass lines. >selected works<, arguably the hit song on the lp, with its melancholic vocals and juno arpeggio has a way of finding its way into your brain and staying there. 6 tracks of excellent melodies and melancholy angst make this a great record for listening from start to finish.

on the prowl brings us two outstanding remixes for runaways >the fire below<, canadian duo extraordinaire azari & iii, and scotlands new phenom the revenge. hot off the heels of >hungry for the power< and >reckless for your love<, azari & iii flex their remix muscle with a heavy dose of synth stabbing and percussive angst, reworking runaways original >the fire below< into a peak time burner. the revenges take shows that you dont have to bang it out to fill dancefloors. fortunate for us, graeme clark aka the revenge took time off his own super busy imprint (instruments of rapture) to give us one of his best remixes to date.

ideen zwischen bollywood und beethoven: zweites album der us-indie-rocker.einige bands bleiben immer bei ihrem alten strickmuster, andere ver?ndern sich von album zu album radikal. vampire weekend haben bei ihrem zweiten album weder das eine noch das andere getan. oder vielleicht beides: >wir klingen mehr wie vampire weekend als auf der ersten platte< meint denn auch schlagzeuger christopher tomson. dabei sprudelt >contra< ?ber an frischen ideen, es pr?sentiert sich dem h«rer kurz und straff durchkomponiert (zehn titel in 39 minuten), die songs setzen sich fast unmerklich mit so schwierigen themen wie verlust, angst und dem tod auseinander. ein gewagtes, ein gelungenes unterfangen. die aufnahmen begannen im januar 2009 in new york, nur zwei wochen nachdem die jungs von ihrer 18-monatigen welttournee zur?ckkamen.
auf >contra< haben verschiedene musikalische stile, kunstformen und philosophien ihren einfluss genommen: third wave ska, the hallelujah chicken run band, brasilianischer baile-funk, kongolesische daumenklaviere, repo man, reggaeton, bollywood, philip roth, beethoven, dancehall und die beastie boys wurden dezent und kultiviert verarbeitet.

fetter minimaler floorgroover, virtue ist eine straighte mischung aus französischen minimal beats und verspielten 90er synthies, doch keine angst, aufregende nummer allemal, die synthies bringen auch wirklich spass auf den floor zurück, superstrope rmx setzt dem ganzen noch eins drauf und grooved schon für leute ab 18, sehr italy in 4:15 min, kompliment! vice ist etwas ruhiger, mehr geeignet für die morgenstunden bzw. lange autofahrten, blood & tears rmx ist dagegen sehr, sehr percussion lastig, so stelle ich mir blinde kuh mit prodigy vor, aber prime time.

8 track hardcore massacre!!

diese tracks berühren. der soundtrack zu einer reise ins innere, dorthin wo es keine angst davor gibt, sich oder die kontrolle zu verlieren. die beats wie die schritte eines großen vogels beim start in die lüfte, der anlauf zu endlosem gleiten durch schimmernde thermik. trance als horizonterweiterung statt nebeliger orientierungslosigkeit. erstpressung im schicken pappcover

after a wait of 15 years and numerous 12es, e s, random compilation tracks and remixes rude 66 has finally finished a full length album and dare we say it s his most cohesive work to date? sadistic tendencies begins where 2005 s three faces of fear ep ended, with 18 tracks that slide like snails on the edge of straight razors, exploring the dark side of the human condition. thematically connected, deep, dark and mind bendingly analogue, sadistic tendencies is both tense and full of release, sometimes brooding and encroaching at other times exploding into throbbing synth laden dance floor bombs. superlatives aside, sadistic tendencies works exceptionally well as an album and is one of those rare 70 minute journey s that can be enjoyed from beginning to end – like a good horror movie that scares the hell out of you, but keeps drawing you in.

second set of remixes for this genre straddling track, featuring the vocal talents of soul sensation in waiting, ben westbeech. marrying the kraakers future funk and hip hop beats with a sensational perfomance from the young bristolian made this track a sure bet as the first choice single although the band did release a couple of warm up eps to remind everyone why their debut album boogie angst was a worldwide success. here trevor loveys, mainstay of the dubsided label, originator of the fidget house sound alongside switch, sinden and jesse rose and partner of herve in the huge selling speakerjunk project, turns in a hot vocal remix that pumps the track towards a different dancefloor altogether. he also found time to serve up a tasty dub that neatly crosses the divide between bassline and techy fidget house. one for the festivals this summer no doubt!
