the story of bonobo is one that has become uncommon in contemporary music. there was no sudden, viral internet sensation, no one-off big hit, no abrupt, accidental alignment with the zeitgeist. instead, over the course of four albums, myriad tours, singles, remixes and production work for other artists, he quietly but very definitely became one of the most important artists in electronic music. the hard work paid off, and culminated in 2010s black sands, a masterful album that married greens inimitable melodic genius and musicianship to bleeding edge electronics, bass and infectious drums.
after a year plus of touring the hypnotic, extended live versions of black sands, he finally found time last year to embed himself in his new york studio and write his fifth studio album. now, in 2013, he stands ready to take things up yet another notch. the north borders is a long stride forward - both a natural evolution and a continuation of the electronic palette of black sands. thematic, resonant, addictive and perfectly formed, it is a thrillingly coherent statement piece.

die yippiee-vögel aus hannover haben für ihre neue ep ihre fühler jedenfalls weit ausgestreckt und bis ins ferne all gefunkt, um letztendlich eine nachricht aus ihrer eigenen stadt zu bekommen.der hannoveraner sebi mono aka bass tikal, der eigentlich eher fans von dnb und dubstep bekannt ist, hatte mit seinem partner aus bristol mehrere neue raketen gebaut und konnte seine langjährigen freunde sofort von ihrer mission begeistern. euphorisiert vom neuentdeckten machte sich mono und die vögel sofort an die arbeit. kurz vor dem start der ersten zweiwöchigen 12-mission und der folgenden zusätzlichen digitalen streifzüge freut sich das gesamte team euch nun ihren hoffnungsträger vorzustellen:da eine schallplatte ohne qualitätsverluste nur eine bestimmte track-länge zulässt, fanden sich am ende exakt drei tracks, die nun den dunklen weg der macht bestreiten. auf der a-seite findet sich das mehr als 10-minütiges debüt der beiden neuen vögel. hipster und youtube-kritiker würden dieses stück wohl als episch beschreiben. das yippiee-team fand aber, dass der titel stellar völlig ausreicht und ihren griff zu den sternen gut genug beschreibt. bei den tracks auf der b-seite handelt es sich hingegen um sehr an der bassline orientierte tracks, die auch durch die unvoreingenomme und unkonventionelle herangehensweise der beiden dnb-produzenten ihre gewisse würze erhält. neben durchaus bekannten grooves zeichnet besonders der feinfühlige einsatz von flächigen sounds im zusammenspiel mit prägnanten, aber auch maßvollen vocals diese ep aus.

two thirds of the hypercolour label team, alex jones and ste roberts, present the first initials 12 inch of 2013 in the form of shard in the hole by blue & green. otherwise known as bareskin & j.wiltshire, blue & green have already developed respectable reputation for themselves. bareskin, aka 19 year old josh thompson from winchester, has set his stall out with non-standard house workouts for losing suki and hypercolour while j.wiltshire has an imminent ep for the prolific imprint.as with previous initials releases,shard in the hole has a techno leaning stance, albeit one with a far from purist outlook. the title track is a broken 4:4 track that builds towards a solitary pulsing bass note and skittering high end percussion and arpeggios. bring me down on the flip is a housier groove complete with an unnerving bassline and clipped vocal samples complimented with distorted washes and theremin-esque tones.
