slang bang is benno blome, the head of sender, and pan/tone aka sid le rock. the duo delivers powerful tracks combining force and restraint with a wicked imagination. >amaaazing< for example sets the records tone with an aura of mystery, creeping like a secret agent on muted, methodical beats, as buzzing synths and foggy atmospheres round out the film noir effect

semiomime is the more spherical alter ego of dj hidden/the outside agency. 6 years after his previous album Òfrom memoryÓ and his Òsix stepsÓ ep . it was time to return to mindtrick records with a new album. Òclose onesÓ is an absolute musical milestone for semiomime showing his more sensitive side.
all songs have been written over an extended course of time. they needed to grow and transform to become impressions of memories and the emotions attached to them. he wanted to capture their essence, translate the way they are stored in his head. by doing this, this album became a very personal album.
it will make you think of some of those things that can make life special... remind you of your close ones.

aus gro§en melodien und strapazierfŠhigen elektronischen teppichen gestrickt, ist -love what survives- gewisserma§en die essenz ihres bisherigen schaffens, indem verschiedene gesangsgŠste und musikerpersšnlichkeiten (james blake, micachu, king krule) hinzukommen, um gemeinsam zu experimentieren, formen neu zu denken, dinge auszuradieren, mit pop-†berlieferungen zu spielen, alles zusammen wachsen zu lassen. die neuen tracks entstanden grš§tenteils auf zwei vintage-synthesizern (korg ms-20, korg delta), die beide, so die band, diese -punkige, schloddrige qualitŠt hŠtten, die an robert wyatt erinnert-, die mit ihrem industrial-einschlag und dem unverkennbar direkten sound mount kimbie zu ihrem neuesten sound-update bewegen sollten. der pulsierende motorik-beat der single -blue train lines- zum beispiel schickt king krule direkt auf die †berholspur, von wo aus er seine zerklŸfteten vokalsalven abgeben kann. die offene, ausladende aura der platte ist ferner der tatsache geschuldet, dass sie zwischen london und los angeles entstanden ist, zwei standorten, zwischen denen das duo pendelte, um gemeinsame sessions zu veranstalten und ideen zu verfeinern

bicep (matt mcbriar und andy ferguson), das aus belfast stammende und in london lebende duo, freut sich, sein selbstbenanntes debŸtalbum ankŸndigen zu dŸrfen! eine platte, die wahrhaftig ihre geschichte sowie ihre liebe zu musik und clubkultur seit ihrem ersten release im jahr 2010 einfŠngt. am 1. september 2017 erscheint -bicep- via ninja tune. seit beginn ihrer mittlerweile zehn jahre wŠhrenden karriere haben sie der musik, die sie inspirierte, auf ihrem blog feelmybicep gehuldigt. der 2008 gegrŸndete blog, der anfangs blo§ ein ventil fŸr ihre intensiven plattensammelgewohnheiten war, erfuhr in folge einen rasanten erfolg und lie§ das gleichnamige label sowie eine regelmŠ§ige clubnacht entstehen. durch den blog wurden auch die musik-produzierenden macher dahinter weltweit immer bekannter und verlie§en bald die insel, um rund um den globus hei§begehrte dj-sets zu spielen. die aufgabe war, die vielfalt zu reprŠsentieren, fŸr den ihr blog immer gestanden hatte: eine tadellos ausgewŠhlte mischung sehr direkter tracks und exklusiver edits, gemixt mit rarem house und disco cuts, die sie wiederentdeckten, entstaubten und neues leben einhauchten. heutzutage sind sie angesehene und zuverlŠssige kuratoren in sachen elektronischer musik. ihr album -bicep- ist die perfekte zusammenfassung der bisherigen karriere des duos - es ist eine klangliche reise durch ihre geschichte, die deutlich eckpunkte der untergrund-clubkultur referenziert. matt und andy haben eine einmalige elektronische platte produziert, die einerseits auf klassischem house, techno, elektro und italo-disco fu§t, andererseits aber den typischen bicep-sound in sich trŠgt. entstanden ist ein prŠgnantes album: frei, rau und dynamisch genug fŸr den dancefloor, gleichwohl raffiniert, kunstvoll komponiert und besinnlich genug, um es auch zuhause zu hšren.

byetone s new record symeta opens with a combined track - a transit - since topas and telegramm could be seen as one single piece. both tracks convey the atmosphere of a live session rather than the character of a studio production. the tracks are quite long and deal with repetition, layers of sounds, density and energy, more than melodic and engineering finesse. the whole album follows this approach, as it was fashioned within the context of live performances during the last two years. neuschnee Ð the third track Ð has an obviously reduced tempo, creating a wide landscape of sound with an intimate aura, which works as a counter draft to the other tracks of the record. with opal, the tempo speeds up again, a polyrhythmic phrase whirls around a straight beat, filters are turned, all that evokes the impression of early-90s minimal techno. byetone is basically interested in remembering, in a way to preserve, in citing rock/pop styles, without getting stuck in the past, whereas non of the tracks really fit into a specific genre. seen from this perspective, helix opens the final, more rocky block of the album. here, the tracks are offensive and rude and sound like a band in a rehearsal room. this part peaks with black peace in a high speed heavy metal session. finally, golden elegy closes symeta and a band-like situation occurs. the track ends with a wired lament, presented by jan kummer in the tenor of chemnitz, hometown of both artists. in former gdr-times, they started their musical activity with the brilliant-dilettantish ag geige, together with frank bretschneider (komet). symeta , the title of the album, appears mysterious. this synthetic word arouses associations with symmetry, synthesis or (meta-)structures. it doesn t stand for a definite object, there isn t any solution, and that is the reason why the title has been chosen. byetone s music tries to create such associations without really fulfilling these expectations. in this sense, symeta consequently follows death of a typographer (r-n92), the well received predecessor.

get ready for a musical journey so deep you may not be able to dig yourself out. nor may you want to. blazingly hot on the smoking heels of the 19 predecessors of the highest ranks of house dj/producers whove blessed this series before him, like joe claussell, ron trent, grammy award winners louie vega & david morales, teddy douglas & dj spen (aka basement boys & muthafunkaz), danny krivit, tony humphries, and a ton of others who superbly compiled and mixed these compilations in the past, hip house producer/dj & sole channel/vega records recording artist mr. v joins this exclusive club and doesnt disappoint. using 18 of the latest and greatest tunes culled from the catalog such as the k&n dub of johnnydangerous >mr vs revenge<, alex kenjis remix of david harness >shake< the original rough mix of ananda projects >aura protection< ivan iacobuccis unreleased original mix of his recent >ritual< release, the deep & magnetic unreleased moodymanc extended mix of tomoki tamuras >the rough< and tomo inoues phenomenal unreleased swingin dub of siren-ic house singer stephanie cookes >sweetest thing<, to name very few, make this 20th anniversary edition of the series one for the musical books. all aboard!
