the first single taken from the upcoming arthur beatrice album *working out*, backed up with an edit by open assembly.

last years tbg01 was charted by german djane ellen allien and broadcasted by gilles peterson of bbc-international fame - amongst others. the second installment (with the slightly confusing catalog-number tbg04) changes its appearance from white-label 12 inch in a black & white gatefold cover to heavy white vinyl in a multicolored disco-sleeve. the labels patron arthur boto conley showcases the work of obscure 1980s producer clifford trunk. the lo-fi dance and ambient tracks origin from a tape which was hand to conley by trunk during a brief encounter at düsseldorfs ratinger hof in 1986. depicted on the cover you can see italian designer ettore sottsass work for the fashion company esprits european headquarter which opened up the same year. clifford trunk was working for the sottsass associati from 1982 on and had a leisure time obsession for drum-computers and sample synths. what a serendipity! - limited to 333 records.

repress - folk-jazz composer/arranger arthur verocai was born in rio de janeiro. he has created challenging arrangements and compositions for brazilian artists jorge ben, ivan lins, leny andrade and gal costa. in 1972 verocai recorded a self-titled solo lp. it is a stunningly innovative effort. it puts verocai into a rarified field with the heavy string oriented music of charles stepney, david axelrod and frank zappa. released in a period marked by the brazilian military government, the album fared poorly. following its re-issue in 2003 the album has become a highly influential oft sampled classic (see ludacris, mf doom and little brother). the performance of this seminal 1972 record in its entirety brought the capacity luckmann crowd to a stand still. according to verocai, >he had never played the record, alive or dead!< the music has been mixed by verocai himself in rio. history turned on its head and musical justice served.

australian producer philip mcgarva aka microworld is well known for his releases on transmat and styrax, both of which instantly became sought-after techno classics. dutch label adepth audio is proud to present microworlds new >time before techno< ep, with the title track another classic in the making.
microworlds signature is clearly evident throughout - the slow smooth build-up, with every new sound revealing extra dimensions within the music. definitely an after hours track that will go straight to your soul. the second track >ism< is a minimal but effective rhythm, a driving bassline, a catchy synthesizer and vocal sample that will stick in your head. canadian producer arthur oskan chose to remix >ism< and rebuild it into a pulsating 9 minute club track overflowing with warm synthesizers.

flight patterns is arthur oskan s follow up to his matrix debut >flashback<. flight patterns opens with the epic track aerial, a slowly building dance floor scorcher that secretly recalls the works of kraftwerk, vapourspace, and tangerine dream. aerial is sure to be a mainstay in your dj set for months to come. the flip side contains the deep tech-house aril brikha styled production that oskan has become known for on the track entitled stopover and the indescribable, yet funky synthesizer workout entitled more than space. flight patterns is another top production by one of toronto s best producers.

* after nearly 10 years, kfa returns to vinyl. as a label, kfa was widely loved for its ability to shift styles and genres, always hitting slightly off center, to produce such off kileter classics as the original “truffle shuffle”, a jungle anthem that gets a much deserved remix on this ep. new signee scartat brings the pain with monstrously heavy beats in “role model”, which kf digital man of the moment bucksta keeps it slightly mellower with “killer sound”, leaving luna-c & mr arthur to bring the dancehall vibes with “judgement”.

in the woods there is a bird, his song stops you and makes you blush. (à) and finally, whenever you are hungry and thirsty, theres someone who chases you away (arthur rimbaud) in the woods there is a birdà is both an ongoing sound and publication project by olaf nicolai, published as a contribution to documenta 14 and the documenta 14 radio program. it is based on archival sound material extracted from radio reports, employing radio as a source (rather than a medium of transmission): background sounds of demonstrations, riots, rallies, originally recorded for radio stations all over the world, are used as source material for this soundtrack composed of these various ambiences. the real sounds are defined by a lack of reference that is usually added by the auditive or written indices that surround and date them. the affiliated artist book in the woods there is a birdà reflects not only the process of detaching, mixing, referencing and re-referencing in a visual essay. it also offers for this new composition an index and frames the recorded sounds by presenting a list of the places and dates the events. the artist book in the woods there is a birdàis published by koenig books.

from minute one, it’s obvious that “he is the voice i hear” is something extraordinary. glimmering piano sets the stage until an insistent violin gives way to a rollicking disco bass line — and then we’re off. it’s the rare work that feels truly greater than the sum of its parts, once it’s over, you’ll be counting down the minutes until you hear the whole thing again.
“he is the voice i hear” is dedicated to the voices who inspired the black madonna to become who she is: frankie knuckles, larry levan, arthur russell, walter gibbons, loleatta holloway. says stamper: “i wanted to make a record that returned to the core values of dance music. in a lot of ways, i don’t think i’m doing something new with this record. i’m doing something old.”

though theyre both originally from kansas, chrissy & hawley met in chicago, and began working together on songs that unite their very different individual styles: emotional dance music with catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics in the tradition of yazoo, pet shop boys, arthur russell, kid creole & the coconuts, larry levan, and patrick cowley. their debut album comes hot on the heels of an ep on smartbar’s own northside ‘82 imprint, which has won over tastemakers like the black madonna, jackie house & jason kendig (honey soundsystem), prince rama, and avalon emerson. “some of the most earnest and charming pop music i’ve heard in years” - avalon emerson “iÕve been obsessing over ‘photoboothÕ” - jason kendig nite owl co-founder chrissy is a genre-bending dj / producer, known for releases on labels like classic, freerange, razor-n-tape, planet mu, and hypercolour, his influential “my year of mixtapes” blog, and his dj residency at the legendary chicago nightclub smartbar. hawley shoffner is a chicago-based singer-songwriter with a distinctive, immediately recognizable voice in the tradition of karen o, kathleen hanna, or siouxsie sioux. 2lp includes special insert and digital download code

die 28 songs auf dem limitierten doppelvinyl *feel so fine* sind maßgebliche aufnahmen in der entwicklung des reggae vorläufers, ska (oder blue beat). nachdem der shuffle blues aus new orleans die jamaikanischen soundsystems bis in die 60er dominierte, fingen parallel zur entwicklung des soul in den usa soundsystemgrössen wie arthur duke reid und clement seymour coxson dodd an, eigenene lokale aufnahmen zu produzieren, die sich schliesslich immer weiter vom new orleans r&b entfernten und zu ska wurden.

the central executives what can we say ? not much as it turns out - the generally very forthcoming golf channel crew are remaining tight-lipped about the architects of this, frankly mind-blowing debut long-player from this new nyc collective. a walk in the dark is exactly that, a situationist song-sheet & sonic chaperone to guide us through the back street escapism these troubled times demand. from gently over-driven punk funkin mascara stained hymns, to house that has been thoroughly smudged to the edges of its live music incorporating limits. sitting very comfortably, in a moment of stewed elevation alongside sound signature style machine jams, bare bones vocal led improvisations, discordant arthur russell moments & the distorted reflections of roots house that run to the very core of the big apple. a drop-jaw debut then, that wears its influences proudly, but takes them somewhere entirely new.

kindness throws his net in a wide arc when it comes to inspirations for his debut album: phoenix style soft-pop, 80s electro-boogie, arthur russell-tinted balearic, beatdown house, synth-pop.
