what better way to follow up andy meechams (chicken lips / emperor machine) huge gino fontaine originals than a duo of remixes from balearic chieftains pete herbert & stratus as one half of reverso 68 alongside phil mison, and in his own right pete has been behind a ton of mesmerising sunrise and sunset workouts, and he�s more than delivered here - crisp and club ready percussion, those stark punk-funkin� guitars and his trademark synth work all conspire to cook up a storm on the floor martin jenkins and mat anthonys stratus outfit (remember their superb *spring tide ep* on aficionado last year ?) take a pop at the sublime konkondo on the flip and what a masterpiece it is ! a ten minute, utterly absorbing and expertly evolving piece, which flips the darker elements of the original into a mesmerising, cinematic, early 90s style balearic epic.

for a long time, vidal benjamin has been getting up early at the weekends. whether alone or in company, he digs his hands into various crates at record fairs, flea markets or in empty attics, to uncover records that have long been forgotten, ignored or even despised. among the small circle of parisian diggers, his reputation precedes him: it is he who finds and it is he who shares. it is not unusual that in his wake, one finds a certain record long lost, left behind as a special gift from vidal. he likes to share so that others may discover. and it is for that same reason that he regularly sleeps late, playing records in clubs at night, where he follows a similar path: altruistic, educational and festive. it�s no surprise, then, that his first compilation goes by the fitting title of disco sympathie.

romansoff is the man behind raw tools, a guy who loves to dj and arrange parties in and around bucharest, he is starting to stretch his wings further afield. with a release on machine records inc being his first for another label, romansoff delivered 3 tracks of dancefloor goodness to the ruff draft inbox that made me jiggle in my chair. it was when i got up and started to dance like my dad, and my son started to laugh and point, that i knew it was a winner. i contacted romansoff who suggested we should have a game of stone, paper, scissors to decide the track order

if youre going to launch a label, it pays to hit the ground running with your first release. thats exactly what the people behind falstaff have done with this impressive debut. it features tracks from longtime pals max d and hashman deejay. the formers track, shoegaze, continues the washington d.c producers recent trend of delivering tracks that defy easy categorization. this one is a blend of ghetto-tech, deep house and dreamy chords, with cut-up samples of various descriptions riding an urgent groove. hashman deejays samba is a little more orthodox, sitting somewhere between deep detroit techno and humid samba house. its a thing of rare beauty.

a lot of water has passed under the bridge since the release of etienne jaumet�s night music, dating from october 2009. his hypnotizing music and enchanting live performances put him directly on the map. it�s just him who is in control of his ship. he moves without complexes from his saxophone to his drum machine (his beloved tr 808) while turning knobs modulating synths, and sending his voice through an echo.la visite, etienne�s brand new album, more luminous and jazzy than its predecessor, has been composed and produced within a two month period in the versatile studio. it became a piece of introspection, mentally as well as physically. in the title track, for which flop wrote the text, we hear etienne travelling through the inside of a body, fantastic voyage style.it is always surprising to see a record taking shape. etienne would arrive at the studio without any precise idea in head, approaching his work rather intuitively. he works standing up, which brings a very different energy than being seated behind a computer polishing up every detail. he is in total mastery of his set-up, ready to capture that short-lived moment of true creation. the only use a computer has for him, is to record his experiments - afterwards being mixed by jerome caron (blackjoy).in between night music and la visite, etienne has not been lazy. not only has he done numerous collaborations (amongst others with joakim, richard pinhas, francois & the atlas mountain) and picked up djing, he has also recorded a new zombie zombie album (rituels d�un nouveau monde) with cosmic neman, as well as the soundtrack loubia hamra. and he worked with artist felicie d estienne d orves on the installation satori. at this very moment, etienne and his saxophone are still part of the tour of james holden.

*bapteme de l air* keeps the pressure up throughout as it steadily rolls out its sharpened kick and thick, propulsive snare before reaching its rattling, mechanical apogee. *ready pour le tour* unfurls behind off-kilter clicks, tightly swung hats and sax stabs while astute dynamics build a rich and cavernous atmosphere. the disco tinged *plein les mirettes* sets a rousing warm-up tone from the off with a dense kick and clap pinning down flecks of crowd chatter and shimmering metallic signals before dana ruhs spectral revision of ready pour le tour casts a murky glow over the original, blooming until its close with thickening strings and addictive knocks and claps.

indeed, everything is permissible if god does not exist, and man is consequently abandoned, for he cannot find anything to rely on - neither within nor without. first, he finds there are no excuses. for if it is true that existence precedes essence, we can never explain our actions by reference to a given and immutable human nature. in other words, there is no determinism - man is free, man is freedom. if, however, god does not exist, we will encounter no values or orders that can legitimize our conduct. thus, we have neither behind us, nor before us, in the luminous realm of values, any means of justification or excuse. we are left alone and without excuse. that is what i mean when i say that man is condemned to be free: condemned, because he did not create himself, yet nonetheless free, because once cast in to the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

ltd 2014 repress
sandwell districts rrose launches a new label with a follow up to >motormouth variations<, last years unlikely collaboration with legendary improviser and synthesizer pioneer bob ostertag (named one of 2011s top 50 albums by the wire magazine).
for the debut release on eaux, rrose searched through ostertags cassette archives to discover a lost gem of studio improvisation from 1977. >the surgeon general< sees the barely post-teen bob ostertag exploring feedback techniques with an early buchla modular synthesizer, tape delay, flute and violin. the results are uncharacteristically moody, spacious, and well ahead of their time. on the flip, rrose provides two new revisions. >no child left behind< is a noisy and hypnotic acid-laden beast designed for dancefloor damage, while >her insides laid bare< takes the original into murky subaquatic territory. look for much more to come from rrose and eaux in the coming months.

n5md is proud to present fall into fire, the new lp from dag rosenqvist. fall into fire is rosenqvists first album since the self-inflicted conclusion to his jasper tx nom de plume in 2013 with the stunning an index of failure lp (handmade birds). while no longer veiled behind a moniker rosenqvist fittingly presents his most personal and arrestingly raw release to date. there are threadbare echoes of loss, fleeting moments of rage, and a restless undercurrent of remorse that rosenqvist presents with few concessions. fall into fire finds rosenqvist at his most achingly radiant while displaying some of the most contrastingly vast passages of any of his discography. fall into fire was mastered for maximum dynamics, all perceived silence is intentional. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

after a best-selling debut record, low budget family - an independent moscow-based record label run by the crew behind the legendary shop&bar denis simachev formation return, and how! king solomons mines from simple symmetry is quite a classic in the making - a deceptively simple workout that reminds of mid 80s boyd jarvis jams, but shot through with 21st century twists and turns, that amplify those tough drum machines, anthemic afro elements, chants and marimba riffing. add a truly dynamic arrangement and you have a dancefloor dynamite! it is disco royalty on the remix tip as soft rocks & brennan green step up. as expected, given the incredible ingredients, the two of them shine. soft rocks set up a classic euro flavoured afro-trance workout, utilising the parts against a far more electronic and unrelenting backdrop, building to a sweaty, strobe-lit finale. brennan green may be less than prolific these days, but he is dependable as ever here. working up a synth-soaked, prelude style dub, whose classic elements will work the floor from here to zanzibar�
