pascal pinon, das sind jofridur und asthildur, zwillinge aus island, die bereits im zarten alter von 14 mit zwei freunden eine band gr?ndeten. die beiden mºdchen klaubten sich die instrumente zusammen, ?bten in ihrem zimmer und traten mal hier, mal dort auf. ihre musik - ein mix aus neofolk und lo-fi-pop - klingt sch?chtern und zur?ckhaltend, was sicher auch an den d?nnen wºnden ihres zimmers liegt. die songs indes beweisen gro?e klasse, kein wunder also, dass pascal pinon mit ihrem deb?talbum f?r den islºndischen musikpreis als newcomer des jahres 2009 nominiert waren. die drei-track-single >i wrote a song< gibt einen vorgeschmack auf das schaffen der beiden.

jatoma are all about the unknown and though they are new amongst us they remain cloaked in paradoxes and already questioned by many. some think that one of the members is a famed producer amongst 2 genius teenagers.
others project they are a side act for a band held in the highest regard. some will speculate they are just trying to get more attention by remaining unknown. the facts remain blurry and ambiguous but there remains an clear authenticity surrounding these factors - jatoma are clearly one of 2010s most inventive new acts our ears have had the pleasure to hear and its with our excitement we welcome them to kompakt. so enter their self-titled debut full length - >jatoma<.

g.i.disco - an 80s history of cold war s hottest music in west-germany berlin local dj heroes kalle kuts and daniel w. best a.k.a. g.i.disco have compiled an excellent 80s soul, funk, r & b and disco selection. it combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the german historical background (which also is an important part of 20th century s world history), international artist quotes and worldwide renowned art by berlin based photographer frank thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. soul, funk and r&b from the us became a worldwide dance and clubbing movement during the 70s when it turned disco. in the late 70s and 80s more and more new electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines were added to the horn riffs and piano licks, bringing the funk back on the dance floor while still leaving it s soul untouched. although a global success story, it played an interesting role especially in the german experience. lp comes in gatefold sleeve.

goose hat sie schon immer gehabt, diese laute dance-music-with-rock-attitude, schon auf ihrem 2006er debütalbum bring it on. ihre bellenden synths, schreienden vocals und wuchtigen energie-levels sind längst zum festen bestandteil der justice/ed banger-szene geworden. auf >synrise< macht die band einen ausflug in die 70er- und 80er-jahre, in die zeiten von space disco wie automat und 80er-filmsoundtracks, mit musikalischen koordinaten wie philip glass, giorgio moroder und vangelis. das resultat ist mehr als nur die summer dieser teile: es ist ein album voller dance-tunes mit klaren pop-strukturen. das beginnt schon mit dem titeltrack >synrise<, einem jetstreaming-soundscape von moroder-artigen synth-arpeggios, die sich hochschrauben zu einem gastauftritt von peaches. >words< dagegen könnte problemlos als vintage chemical brothers track durchgehen, während die sich verlierenden sphären von in cars den einfluss von trance mit klaxons-style-vocals kombinieren.

die nullerjahre des 21. jahrhunderts verbrachte er nach eigenen angaben in einem selbst gew?hlten exil als >would-be folksinger<. lloyd cole, zusammen mit den commotions oder eben solo seit mitte der 80er-jahre eine feste gr®?e im internationalen popzirkus, sehnte sich nach dem spiel mit der band, nach ein wenig rock n roll. die songs dazu hatte er bereits, das geld dazu besorgte er sich von den fans: circa 1000 von ihnen waren bereit, 45 dollar f?r eine de-luxe-version eines albums zu ?berweisen, das von eben diesem geld erst noch eingespielt werden musste. cole rekrutierte eine studioband aus alten und neuen bekannten, u. a. joan wasser alias joan as police woman sowie mark schwaber und matt cullen von coles begleittrio the small ensemble. das ergebnis nennt sich >broken record< und ist das frischste und lebendigste klangerzeugnis, das von lloyd cole seit jahren zu h®ren war. man merkt dem album an, wie gut cole das zusammenspiel mit der band tut, die songs sind auf gewohnt hohem niveau. aus dem would-be folksinger wurde wieder der s?nger einer rock-n-roll-band.

mlms live show now incorporates a full brass section and drummer, accentuating the elements of carnivalesque ska and heightening their collective energy. this, combined with johnnys unique lyrical style, sees the band form a new fuller sound, merging their playful melodies with a powerful back line. young british singer, jessie ware (who has also sung for jack penate), a bright new talent, has also joined them to offer soulful vocals. the >lovestruck< ep reveals a more refined method of writing infectious and original british music. their new approach to composition harbors their recognized style, whilst showing a progression as serious songwriters. for the release of the ep the band has been working with producers such as clive langer (madness) and charlie hugall (florence and the machine).

a twinkle, a spark, and there you have it. many will say they saw it coming. at some point you could no longer ignore the signs, and actually youd suspected it all along: glamour is back in the club. berlin has become what new york was in 1981 and aÚrea negrot is the eartha kitt of the post-techno age. as part of hercules & love affair, perhaps the most enigmatic disco-ball band of the present day, the venezuelan disco diva has tackled issues of gender code through a four-four discourse and convinced the world that a slick performance under a strobe light can outdo than anything that has appeared in the light of day. now - as a taste of whats to come on her album next year - she is releasing her first ep on bpitch...

not many single releases can be labelled as events, especially not in the ever homogenised techno world, but the first single from model 500 in eleven years, and the first recorded by the new band line up is most definitely an event.

a major global player in all things futuristic disco prins thomas internasjonal imprint is further branching out and diversifying with its brand new spanking series internasjonal spesial. the a-side sees the proven and tested multi-national team of reykjavik born holmar filipson of thugfucker and crack & speed fame and ny party veteran ulysees ( one half of neurotic drum band ) pushing the agenda of joining the dots globally with the soon-to-be-classic emotive eletronic disco cut escape from new york . starting out as a leisurely paced electro boogie cut with sentimental string chords, additional e-guitar loops and haunting synth noises leak in a dark 80 s pop sensibility a la my bloody valentine. also the b-side by valentinoland - holmar filipsson partnering this time with arni runar hlodversson of fm belfast fame - is nothing short of truely exceptional but more on the dulcet side with a gut-wrenching string-lead melody in classic balearic sunset style.

italians do it betters new sister edit label around kicks off with a re-vamp of a steve miller band classic. venice native william bottin is known mainly for his slick glossy italo-inspired productions and remixes on labels like italians do it better. this time he puts his signature spin on a few classic rock tracks turning them into a sick italo-rock floor filler. the b-side is a level 42 burner that will kill for you as well. much more than an edit, yet not a remix per-se- bottin has done something special this time! limited edition of 400 copies never to be repressed.

kenton slash demon is indeed one of the most promising new talents out of denmark. the two guys who are also behind the much acclaimed indie-disco band when saints go machine and have gained massive attention with their ksd act, without releasing a lot of material. why? the answer is simple: all they do is just so good. their sound is both organic and futuristic, and their obvious skills take their productions further than the typical frame and dramaturgy of club a track. still 4/4 rhythmic - but with clever and super melodic bass lines and interesting breaks. >sun< is the first release in a ksd trilogy on tartelet called >schwarzchild trilogy< inspired by the elements that form our galaxy. >the sun< 12inch features a remix from the much hyped alan abrahams aka portable / bodycode, from portugal who made added vocals, deepness and classic mr. fingers juno-6 bass line - deep and clever.

hoola is the new single taken from archie bronson outfits recent album, coconut. hoola will be available on two remix 12inchs with exclusive mixes from moscow, house of david, motor city drum ensemble, and 6th borough projects two versions of the album track chunk. coconut, archie bronson outfits third album, is a record full of deep riffs, spaced loops and the sound of a band revelling in both their individuality and intensity. coconut is a record of barely contained ambition and ecstatic overload. the album was produced by tim goldsworthy (lcd soundsystem, the rapture, hercules & love affair) and the result is a wildness of musical vision, given the freedom to be let absolutely loose.

2 tracks from the 70s by american soul band tavares.

yet another unmissable, under the counter trio of cuts, lovingly crafted from the most unusual of sample sources, combined with squeeky clean production values that make this a dancefloor dead cert. moonshine bears more than a passing resemblance to carl craigs monumental -throw- and ploughs an equally devastating groove, utilizing, of all things a chunk of glitter bands -makes you blind- on the flip the off-kilter but irresistble -revenge of the rock-o-mites- is a re-imagining of the lead track from the incredible rock city band’s impossibly rare electro-funk ep from 83 & sounds like allan parsons remixed by dexter. finally -why d you run away- skillfully reinterprets elements of flash & the pans -ayla- and is more than likely to be blasting out of many an adriactic boat party this summer massive

the time has come for disco trash music to rule the world!

man/machine: viennas elektro guzzi challenge the meaning of live in electronic music. bored of laptop sets? with a classic setup of guitar, bass and drums elektro guzzi quantize themselves to an unheard level of discipline, tightness and danceability. no computers, no pre-recorded loops, no solos. probably the first time techno is really played live. as sequential as they may sound, they couldnt be more analogue. but however traditional they may look as a band, they certainly do not sound like one. the quest for the ultimate live presentation of techno has come to an end.
