out of a mood and while repairing one of his 303 basslines, heckmann just recorded two acid-house tracks on the fly and live in his studio !! the result is now presented on this very limited red vinyl afuxtra release !!!

marcel dettmann verabschiedet sich von 50weapons mit -activator-, einem broken-techno dj tool dessen sound-design nur so von dettmannscher ingenieurskunst strotzt. dunkle synths verleihen dem ganzen noch den psychedelischen touch, der diesen track sowohl in der peaktime als tool, wie auch auf der afterhour zu einer tödlichen waffe macht. begleitet wird dettmann mit dem 50weapons-debüt von dem wahrscheinlich am meisten gefeierten newcomer techno-duo aus münchen, den zenker brothers. -namuan- ist ein bayrischer smack-techno-track von feinster sorte, drum-programmierung steht hier zwar im vordergrund, allerdings hat die fläche, die sich langsam hereinschiebt, schon so einige arme in die luft gerissen

kompromissloser harter ehrlicher techno....

sold out! what happens when scales and patterns of contradicting emotional imprints combine? when light and darkness, bitter and sweet, frost and blaze collide? those are the questions that johannes heil chooses to address on his upcoming album, opening up a vast grey-scaled area for the listener to traverse with techno as a blindfold. <black light> sees the german techno mainstay return to the album format for an intimate ten track odyssey of close-curtained introspection. heil chooses the words of fellow futurist nikola tesla to set the stage of the black light story: >black is the true face of light, only we do not see this<. track names are dropped in favor of a chronology of scenes, better adapted to the seemingly polar opposition of the forces that the figure and cocoon regular conjures throughout the album. everything that we perceive is processed and set into relation with past memories, digested emotions and iron-branded impressions. battling the current, johannes heil chooses to challenge certitudes by forcing us out of our comfort zones into the absence of light. if the pictures painted on >black light< are dark, they are also far from monochromatic. the machine-driven sonic prism acts both as the heavy cloud and the burst of light that shoots through to guide us. its the aggressor and the victim, the clenched teeth and the jubilant, the paranoia and the sanity of the mind. its pure heads-down driving techno with volumes of grandiose. provoking our senses, extending his art onto our personal canvases, the exile boss gives the listener the freedom to interpret the emotional context of each piece, to write the scripts of the individual scenes. the impression that >black light< leaves upon first listen testifies that 20 years down the road, johannes heil shows no sign of slowing down.

ahead of their highly anticipated debut lp due on golf channel this fall, the berlin duo drop this little taster. the heavy, percussion driven analogue sound that is their trademark comes in two tight packages. the title track is all snaky rhythms and squelchy riffing and comes complete with exactly the kind of dense, break heavy remix that we would expect from compatriot, and top buddy of the band, wolf muller. flipside revanche is a sunnier affair, deft touches on the acoustic guitar and lighter percussion, but no less the party starter because of it. golf channel every time !

music is love s sister label mil returns quickly returns after the dark and edgy warning ep by kastil and the tougher sound seems to have stuck around in this their 7th release. muscle house sees young irishman chris hanna step to the plate with his very own brand of tough synth driven electronic music. having just released on ejeca s own imprint this is a name you ll be hearing more of. opening the ep is drone, a rough distorted track that is narrated by the constant synth buzzing above the heavy groove laid down by hanna, peak time madness. a2. finds chris track the colonel, another furiously paced peak time track laced with a seriously evy sequenced based line straight outta detroit.

coming from a cultural landscape that is still yet to fully form can instil in a person an unusually strong force of will. autarkic is the latest representation of tel avivs cold wave scene. the leftfield movement through an eastern lens. holding up a mirror to the current state of his world, autarkic (assisted by red axes) has provided 4 tracks which manage to be thought provoking, compelling, and even anthemic, in equal measure. industrial techno tribal goth dub vibes for 2075 and beyond! produced by autarkic & red axes.

flangers opens with the dark, gravelly, brooding, and heads down techno of the title track - a lengthy, spacious workout which manages still to cut a deep groove despite it s direct driving force. similarly, beast paces itself, slowly unfolding all of its treasures as it grows, swells and shapeshifts over the course of just over five minutes of sustained tension. on the flip, two heavyweight producers step up to the remix: germany s markus suckut and dutch producer, jeroen search. suckut s interpretation of flangers keeps much of the understated groove and tension of the original whilst dipping it in a more shrouded cloak of murky techno. jeroen search on the other hand pitches up the pace with a crisp, high-hat driven dive into the deep

volfs second ep for dolly and its on! two fierce but club friendly rolling techno tracks featuring an epic luke hess remix. with their warm and euphoric chords hydro funk and shadow section will take you right back to the golden days of techno, reminding a bit of aril brikha and the likes. detroit s luke hess on remix duties takes hydro funk into even deeper territories. an hypnotic and melancholic, yet very driving detroit techno tool. pure bliss on dolly number 23.

for more than a thousand days and nights, nico stojan tapped away at what is now before us as ‘twisted manners’ - his debut album telling stories in sound that are both electronic in nature and human in touch. each organic sounding track on the release, including their neighbouring interludes, graze on the moments, people and cultures which have encompassed the albums journey and brought it forward to what it is today. these inspirations have merged from moody mornings in foreign lands (‘blue hour’) to his love affair with the elements of jazz (‘tortured paper’), to the breezy ways of the pacific island people he connects with so much (‘maori girl’). these diverse cultures and the passing musicians who have importantly contributed to the essence of the album have built strong yet invisible strings with a myriad of voices and instruments which weave throughout the music giving us a piece of work that is both textured in flavour and rich in motive. twisted manners is a clean example of this - house music whose soft open spaces and gentle beats sway easily through analog sounds coming from string quartets, saxophonists and double bass players to name a few. these collaborations and stojan’s guiding ear will walk you right into the dreamy spaces and faraway places of his travels without you breaking a sweat. seasoned with moments stolen under the fading light of day, long trips into the beautiful nothingness of his eclectic surroundings and respect for electronic music that is both timeless and sincere, ursl records is delighted to present stojan s debut album, ‘twisted manners’.

from a basement studio in hackney, east london comes payfone s 2nd release on golf channel - quarantine b/w padre, pray for us. following on from 2014 s extremely well received paradise heater, payfone continue down a similar path for the a side quarantine. featuring once again 24 year old vocal powerhouse louis howard jones, quarantine is a semi auto biographical take on the hardships of a an underprivileged youth, set against a tough phil passera production that sounds more new york city 1984 than new port county 2004 (jones was born and raised in cardiff). cruising at 120 bpm, the dark funk guitar intro gives way to some heavy slap bass and deep synth that touches michael jackson s thriller before the direct and brutal vocals of jones hit you right between the eyes. padre, pray for us is a bizarre afro-cuban inspired homage to passera s italian father sergio ( who s telephone call can be heard on the songs intro). featuring the lethal trumpet of former cuban military private eikel venegas hernandez, this instrumental takes you to the pinata party via downtown lagos. golf channel every time !
