music mania and indica dubs is proud to present the next release in their mania dub series. following multiple classic re-issues, we now bring you a long awaited freshly produced dubplate album on a 12inch by uk dub innovators, alpha & omega: dubplate selection vol. 3.

selected works 2014-2017: the music presented on this compilation, Òframed spaceÓ consists of a selection of works from the first three years of melody as truth. double cd featuring 4 previously unreleased tracks, exclusive to this set.

the music contained in this album invokes the vibes and spirit that were so crucial to much of the music recorded during the 1960s & 70s in jamaica. if you talk to the musicians and singers of this era, they will tell you that the driving force behind the songs they created was the sheer love of music. this is one of the reasons these recordings are so powerful and move listeners to this day. music like this can only be made by those who were schooled in the studios and yards around kingston and is not something that can be easily reproduced outside jamaica. the kingston all stars represent some of the most legendary musicians to ever grace the little island & it is thanks to their passion and dedication that we have a lifetime of music to enjoy.

ideas call for realisation, realisations turn into habits, habits then quickly turn into traditions, and traditions become an intrinsic part of culture. born at the turn of the new millennium as a symbol of a new era for electronic music, kompakt s longstanding total series returns with its 18th iteration, spreading over two cds the essential of the label s last few months of intense activity and extended breadth of resources, blowing out its 25th birthday candle with the breath of a young, throbbing heart.

to commemorate our 10 year anniversary celebration, this new release comes in the form of our beloved deepchord presents echospace project. the set was recorded live at ghost in the sound on 05/26/2013 a few miles away from hart plaza. an official movement after party curated by the detroit paranormal society in association with echospace, and now re-mastered by rod modell. from the second the bass dropped, it stole the breath from the room! this duo started off as barely more than a rumor supported mostly by the continous scarcity of their records. the duo comprised of detroits rod modell and steven hitchell have spent nearly two decades producing low-key electronic music both bordering on the verge of myth. theyre considered by many the most noted producers operating in the dub-infused aftermath of the basic channel axis and all its myriad offshoots. once their critically-acclaimed the coldest season emerged on one the uk based modern love imprint, the curtain was unveiled and the sound of echospace was born. they ve often been coined the true heirs to the basic channel legacy but their work finds a home somewhere on the outskirts of the galaxy, where detroit soul ties to jamaican roots played through a tunnel in deep space. this evocative, immersive sound that is echospace was born out of a love and passion for analog circuitry, sound design, field recordings and non-conventional methods of recording. but its also work thats quintessentially building upon the detroit electronic scene where it was born, and that divine marriage of roots and vision make the work at once so highly considered, so pertinent and so timeless. this is the first new album from the echospace duo since the critically-acclaimed silent world (ost) 3lp/cd set dropped 5 years ago, it features live renditions of some of their classics as well as unreleased material. expect gorgeous plumes of sound deeper than the ocean floor, a rich analog tapestry made and performed in the heart of detroit, techno city!

shorelights is a collaborative ambient techno project feat. rod modell (deepchord, echospace, waveform transmission, transformations), and walter wasacz and christopher mcnamara of the detroit-based audio visual collective nospectacle. ancient lights expands the vision and the range of the shorelights aesthetic, heading into deeper territories of inner and outer space. its ambient for body and spirit, sound designed to make the human heart dance.

noch immer steht der name nightmares on wax fŸr eine einzigartige mischung aus hip hop und soul, aus dub und club-sounds und auf shape the future klingt diese nun schon Ÿber jahrzehnte hinweg perfektionierte gratwanderung so flŸssig und schlŸssig wie nie zuvor. inspiriert von zahllosen dj-sets und studio-sessions in ganz unterschiedlichen ecken der welt, untermauert nightmares on wax mit diesem neuesten sound-update abermals seine ausnahmestellung in der elektronischen musiklandschaft. auf die bereits veršffentlichte erste auskopplung -back to nature-, die mit schamanistisch klingenden vocals die verbindung zwischen mensch und mutter erde adressierte, folgte die brandneue single citizen kane, fŸr die george evelyn als vokalgŠste mozez und allan kingdom (u.a. kanye west, flume) an seine seite geholt hat, und die belegt, was fŸr eine reise und entwicklung george im verlauf seiner einflussreichen karriere zurŸckgelegt hat. indem er noch mehr als zuvor auf tiefschŸrfenden, in gospel-sounds getrŠnkten hip-hop setzt und seine ganze erfahrung als producer durchschimmern lŠsst, trŠgt der neue track noch immer den unverkennbaren klanglichen stempel von nightmares on wax.

since jim coles took on the mantle of om unit, the english producer has sought to challenge himself and his audience by going beyond the confines of genres and styles he has so far explored. in the process he has found success by striving for more feeling, for a more human and daring electronic music. this journey continues with ÔselfÕ, colesÕ third album as om unit and a true follow-up to his 2013 debut ÔthreadsÕ.
ÔselfÕ captures coles in a period of growth, change, and experimentation. inspired by personal psychological and emotional healing work, and a vision of the self as an egg Ñ which coles later on discovered is a jungian archetype Ñ the album blends dubwise, bass-heavy music with the space of experimental ambient compositions and the daring imagination of a cold wave science fiction soundtrack.
the first om unit album on colesÕ own cosmic bridge label, ÔselfÕ offers new forms amid familiar touches. stripping away what people might expect, coles deconstructed and reimagined his work so far as a challenge to himself and, in turn, to his fans.

for their first multi-artist compilation, music from memory take us on a trip to the heart of the amazon rainforest. outro tempo: electronic and contemporary music from brazil, 1978-1992 is a double lp that explores the outer reaches of brazilian music, where indigenous rhythms mix with synthesizers and where mpb mingles with drum computers. as brazil faced the last years of its military dictatorship and transition to democracy, a generation of forward-thinking musicians developed an alternative vision of brazilian music and culture. they embraced traditionally shunned electronic production methods and infused their music with elements of ambient, jazz-fusion, and minimalism. at the same time they referenced the musical forms and spirituality of indigenous tribes from the amazon. the music they produced was a complex and mesmerising tapestry that vividly evoked brazilian landscapes and simultaneously reached out to the world beyond its borders.

recognition opens up its archives and invites to a futuristic sentimental journey with respective stages set by the 9702. album contains a set of varied tracks recorded within five years after warsaw labels launch and its first release. extended compositions and short improvised sound notes resemble eccentric propositions of such labels as (early) warp or rephlex, standing next to melancholy-saturated minimalistic techno and abstract collage structures which prove out to share many characteristics of clicks n cuts movement of the second half of the 1990s. usage of human voice samples is an outstanding feature of many of these archive materials. entirety of mastered-anew content encompassing both records, contains all principal trademarks which distinguish jacek sienkiewiczs creations and his label recognition - utmost care about depth of sound sphere, experimental inclinations and focus on complex motoric aspect of the rhythmical base. this collection of music from recognitionÕs first five years, surprising for its freshness and sheer impetus, is a must for all fans of jacek sienkiewicz and polish electronic music of the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. in connection with publication of yet-unheard tracks, jacek shares another slice of yet-unknown artistic vision, connecting sound with other media such as image, light and movement. recognition xx audio-video performance comes out in summer as a result of this retrospective look.

on his sixth album, the arc of tension, the berlin based dj, label owner and producer oliver koletzki yet again presents his remarkable vision of contemporary electronic music, while he assumes the role of a storyteller. the arc of tension speaks to its listener as a singular, self contained work, which communicates by way of its natural flow and arc of suspense. the latter is mirrored not only in the multifarious narrative of the actual album, but can also be understood as evidence for its creatorÕs long musical history. while koletzki focussed on a diverse range of vocal collaborations on his previous long players, he now moves on to a different form of storytelling, rooted in the quiet confidence of a veteran musician, as well as the hectic lifestyle of a globally in demand dj. the arc of tension is the psychonautic journey through the various continents of oliverÕs consciousness. the quiet chirps and warbles, which initially unfold on the opener a tribe called kotori, thus act as a loose associative bridge to der mu?ckenschwarm, olivers big breakthrough hit of 2005. the first minutes of the album leave no room for doubt - we are immediately locked into an autobiographical world of sound that knows how to captivate from the get go. the dreamy, exotic timbres of the downbeat tracks by my side, tankwa town and byron bay penetrate our minds in a subtle yet purposeful manner. but soon the tension tightens and organic sounds one by one evolve towards a sterner, electronic cadence.

having come up with an annual-ish drop of 12inches since 2010, even brenden aka chmmr set aside the spring of 2016 to challenge himself to a new format: a full-length album. a true nostalgic, he uses compass point-era and early italo sounds for inspiration and attempts to simulate these styles. this makes for a melodic, chuggy and graphic album that belongs a little more in the living room than on the dance floor. with 10 tracks of dusty rhythms and the honest, naive and spacious themes that is brendenÕs signature, its a record designed to signal that todays technological future may not be as different as yesterdays. features a nice-looking cover painting drawn by the late harold cohenÕs aaron program - automation at its finest. hidden behind his chmmr moniker is even brenden, whose summery debut found its way into the world via norwegian psych-disco label luna flicks in 2010. the record became somewhat of a soughtafter item and after making pit stops at relish, d¿dpop and untz untz records, he landed on prins thomas full pupp in 2014 and have stayed put ever since, all the while enjoying a steady habit of record jocking and the occasional keyboard duty in telephones now-defunct live band. even resides in oslo makes odd waves without vowels.

it was fitting that brazilian-born, austria-based artist joyce muniz broke through in an era characterised by the cross-pollination and globalisation of music. initially combining the sounds and rhythms of her home country with contemporary european electronic sounds, she later morphed into a house / techno producer of the highest calibre. along the way she worked with the likes of maya jane coles and viennese legends kruder & dorfmeister and released on influential imprints like 2020 vision and shir khanÕs exploited. itÕs the latter which has been her main platform for releasing music since 2011 and where she now unleashes her full-length debut album, made in vienna.

everything i know and i will never know about you is a journey through electronica, deep-house and pop, driven by the endless and timeless sources of inspiration that are love and life. prior releases on powerhouses diynamic, get physical and third ear have pinpointed denites sound at the border of deep and tech-house but his long player debut is, sonically, a fresh new adventure. the spanish producer takes a developed and matured sound into deeper dimensions of self-reflection, exploring new sonori- ties while remaining loyal to his early influences with strong personal touches on drums and keys. everything i know and i will never know about you is a bold move for denite, who comes a step closer to achieving his artistic vision. tracks like when i go out and the art of letting go embody the albums innate dance-floor nature while songs like berlin see the spanish producer looking square towards new horizons and musical ambitions. club-friendly while staying geared towards the headphones, everything i know and i will never know about you reads like a bridge between two love stories with similar paths and mirroring endings. opening with the slow, pulsating sound of a heartbeat, it follows the universal cycle of the highs and lows of a relationship, closing on brighter promises and new potentialities

weval beziehen ihre inspiration nicht aus einem einzelnen musikalischen genre, sondern eher aus einer akkumulation von musik, die sie inspiriert. die ergebnisse zeichnet eine beeindruckend kohŠrente vision aus aufnahmen wie das dramatische the battle, der bassknurrer i dont need it oder die trip-saga madness teilen diesselbe dna aus schwungvoller nostalgie, einer schwŠche fŸr immersive klangschnitzerei und einer gewissen delle im groove. sie nŠhren sich auch aus zutiefst persšnlichen erfahrungen und stimmungen, wie zum beispiel bei der eindringlichen elektronischen ballade you re mine, dem vorsichtig geschichteten, polaroid-gefŠrbten just in case oder dem wunderschšn gesungenen schlussakt years to build. und manchmal ist es nur ein altes, verstimmtes klavier, das im flur herumsteht: immer wenn ich dran vorbei lief, musste ich darauf herumklimpern, erklŠrt merijn, also wurde es ein zentraler bestandteil von you made it (part i). kein zweifel: dies ist wevals stŠrkstes und organischstes material bisher, was durchaus was bedeutet, wenn man das talent bedenkt welches bereits in schmalen, doch gewichtigen portfolio der band steckt.

already drawing comparisons to artists like kaytranada and pomo, french producer and multi-instrumentalist jean tonique gets set to become one of the most hyped artists in 2015 with the release of his second ep through yukseks partyfine label on 30th march 2015. drawing influences from 70s funk, jean tonique makes an effort to distance himself from genre-defining elements while approaching his music from an organic and raw songwriting perspective. using elements from hip hop, house, and 70s/80s funk, the multifaceted producer likes to draw people in with the malleable dynamics of his music. after remixes of lana del rey, outkast, the kooks and many more, jean tonique has broken into the online market through being a regular fixture on hype machines top 10 and growing recognition from media outlets. now, growing on his french electronic music notoriety, jean tonique is preparing to expand his presence with the physical release of the you ep bringing that old school, happy vibe that made us fall in love withfunky house

the first years, from his first album in 1976 to his 7th in the middle of the 80s, were fuelled with an exemplary sense of creativity and a free-spirit vision. against everyoneÕs advice, cerrone was never reluctant to compose long and pure trance disco tracks, not exactly radio-friendly at the time, but which did incredibly well because they encapsulated the hedonism of the day and were far more than a trend. for instance, love in c minor and supernature have become unbeatable classics, featured regularly in the best pop, disco or dance selections. such a success would have burnt most of the othersÕ wings, whose career would have been ruined. at the beginning of the 80s, when he decided to unleash his creativity on stage, cerrone managed to rebound with you are the one studio album.

ein raum, fernab vom allem und doch gleich um die ecke. eine vision zum greifen nahe und doch soweit entfernt. gerahmt von tasten, klappen, poties und kleinteiligen liegen, diskutieren und tanzen marbert rocel durch den winter 2015. in diesem, ihrem leipziger studio fŸhlt die band die lieder zusammen, die im sommer 2014 in einem noch abgelegneren, umwaldeten winkel entstanden. jede entscheidung durch alle kšpfe, jeder akkord von hinten und vorn hunderte male gehšrt, jeder kompromiss ein triumph fŸr die sache. keine streicherarrangements vermitteln hier grš§e, sondern das einvernehmliche nicken, das Ÿber die jahre in marbert rocel entstand. in the beginning ist das vierte marbert rocel album. eine gelebte utopie von freundschaft, ein herber kuss fŸr jeden genreliebenden. hier ist nichts grob gehauen, sondern fein gemei§elt. wie tau perlt das schlagwerk von fŠchernden synths. wie gute freunde empfangen dich die songs. wie tinkerbell leitet spunks stimme durch eine vertraut-fremde welt vorbei an gro§en gefŸhlen und kleinen gesten, um schlie§lich dahin zu fŸhren, wo alles begann in the beginning.

the release of a full length gary martin album on motech records serves as a culmination of vision for the label. originally inspired by martins teknotika records imprint, now some 20 years later, motech records has aged into the perfect outlet for his latest full length release, escape from south warren.

es ist schon beeindruckend, wie philipp neben den sommerlichen festivals, vielen radiokonzerten und unzŠhligen ausverkauften clubshows parallel so ein meisterwerk wie 2:33 aus dem €rmel schŸttelt. der junge mann hinter wolke 4 hat noch mehr asse im €rmel, mehr geschichten zu erzŠhlen, mehr musik in die welt zu schicken! was nun auf 2:33 zu hšren ist, sind gewachsene, gro§e songs, vielschichtig produziert, mit allen instrumenten, die sinn machen fŸr einen singer/songwriter, der auch mit dem pomp der gro§en bŸhnen mithalten kann. und dann diese ruhige und gleichzeitig unglaublich intensive stimme, die viel zu erzŠhlen hat, dabei nie aufdringlich wird. 2:33 ist eine einladung zum zuhšren. der charme des berliners wird von der produktion nicht verschluckt, sie spielt seinen authentischen songs voll und ganz zu, unterstŸtzt sie, passt zu seiner natŸrlichen stimme. sie lŠdt ein, in philipps geschichten einzutauchen. irgendwie ist da etwas wunderbares sehr charmant und bodenstŠndig geblieben, hat aber gleichzeitig deutlich an musikalischer vision gewonnen
