the/das ist ein aus der formation bodi bill hervorgegangenes musikprojekt von fabian fenk (gesang) und philipp koller (elektronik, mix), das 2012 in berlin gegrŸndet wurde. der bandname soll eine neutrale bedeutung haben und in keine bestimmte richtung verweisen. ihren sound nennen die beiden techno tenderness, was in etwa chilliger afterhour-musik bzw. new romantic house entspricht. diesen fanden die geneigten hšrer auf bislang Ÿber einer handvoll veršffentlichungen, darunter der lp -freezer- von 2014. dessen innig ersehnter nachfolger erscheint auf dem italienischen, von dj tennis gefŸhrten label life and death. wŠhrend bei frŸheren releases eher der homelistening-aspekt betont wurde, gibt das produzentenduo auf -exit strategies- verstŠrkt clubfreundliche seiten von sich preis. dafŸr vermengen die zwei ziemlich geschickt, geschmackssicher und facettenreich ursprŸnglichen techno berliner prŠgung und organische soundschleifen miteinander und wŸrzen das ganze mit verspielten kinematografischen details. ein aufwŠndiges verfahren, dessen umsetzung von losen skizzen Ÿber die ersten arrangements und immer wieder neuen †berarbeitungen bis zum finalen mix im studio rund drei jahre dauerte.

the trickfinger project was recorded 10 years ago with no intention of being released at the time, made purely for discovery and learning experience. -in my opinion, making music with no intention of releasing it is the best thing a musician can do for his own development in this day and age. the trickfinger lp was made in that mindset, and it was the beginning of a new musical life for me. when i hear it, it sounds like i am opening up doorways to new worlds, and i never have had that feeling listening to music i made for the purpose of releasing it and selling it.- all the music was recorded live onto a cd burner, through a cheap mixer. john would sit on a chair, in his living room, surrounded by five to 15 machines, and just keep programming and jamming until the track was ready to be recorded. there were no overdubs Ð recorded all live

an unreleased classic from the vaults emerges with beautiful reshapes by cv313 (recorded and reshaped from 2007-2016) this is where the sound of cv313 was realized, culled from cassette tapes recorded live (1995-2000) with nothing but analog/digital hardware, no computer in sight (excluding our commodore 64 midi sequencer, which is still alive and well today). the radius project has been absent since the final release in 2001, the first 12- appearing in 1996 (limited white label run of 100 copies pressed at acme pressing in canada) after revisiting these works we realized there was truly some magic here. this project was initially sent to rod modell & mike schommer shortly after they launched their brilliant deepchord label in 2001. they were incredibly kind in saying it was the best demo they had ever heard and passed it on to octal records for release, sadly, that didn t materialize and since then these masters have been collecting dust in our cassette rack for nearly 20 years now. we ve spent months doing our best to restore the old tapes from our tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards. (that is of course, if you can get past the tape hiss) we ve had nearly every component replaced and re-calibrated to bring this obsolete machine back to life, it s been a truly nostalgic experience re-visiting these masters.

island people is a new band project consisting of mastering engineer conor dalton, grammy award winning producer david donaldson, and musician and dj graeme reedie. on their first self- titled record, they present their collaborative work that evolved over the past three years. being based in different cities, namely berlin and glasgow, files had to be exchanged back and forth between the three band members in order to create tracks. for their delicate sound structures, field recordings and other sound sources were heavily processed and rendered unrecognizable. layer after layer, the tracks came into being quiet naturally, not only reflecting their continuous way of working, but also incorporating their different and individual backgrounds: Òduring the whole creation of the album, we never realized our actions were quickly leading us into forming Èisland peopleÇ, we were too busy having fun, making music and sharing ideas.Ó the result of their collaboration is a timeless music that is as open as a natural phenomenon, developing a certain feeling of euphoria over time. all in all, Èisland peopleÇ is a pure listening record in the best tradition of ambient.

since the millennium 2raumwohnung unites electronic sounds and pop melodies in a variety of ways. the early singles wir trafen uns in einem garten (2000) or 2 von millionen sternen (2001) playfully communicated the life-style of a new berlin. the duo, consisting of inga humpe and tommi eckart, started as a studio project and continued to develop via eight album productions. at the same time, an important impulse included developments in techno or house music. their most successful album 36 grad stayed in the german album-charts for 33 weeks, 2raumwohnung continued to expand their stage range as well.

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.

kompakt releasing t.raumschmiereÕs new, epic solo full-length heimat. it presents another side of his work which was always there, but never got that much airtime: the artist, the author, the composer with the crystal-clear sound. heimat is a stunning techno album that neither excludes ambient, nor gets reduced to constant ass kicking. it s perhaps the best recording so far from this man who asks so deeply, so extensively, so much. and at some point even answers.

for organ and brass is comprised of two works by the stockholm-based composer ellen arkbro. both works focus on tuning, intonation and harmonic modulation. in previous projects, arkbro composed for early music ensembles, wrote a series of durational pieces utilising synthetic tones and processed guitars, and, most recently, presented a work lasting 26 days at the stockholm concert hall. for organ and brass looks back to arkbroÕs studies in just intonation with la monte young, marian zazeela, and their disciple jung hee choi in new york, as well as with kindred spirit marc sabat in berlin.

pilocka krach still means nothing but pilocka noise. sheÕs the charming queen of berlins post techno underground and a true recording & perfoming artist. her new release on her very own imprint greatest hits international is a conceptional framed double vinyl album and a journey diary of her last two years on tour around the globe, with mexico, detroit and her hometown roots in berlin as fixpoints on her neverending agenda. pilocka krach is ãsugar caneÒ & ãthe lost amigosÒ, her band and all at once. her style is pure electro post rave simplicity, where each single sound is either raw sampling cuts or deep growling synthesis. big basslines meet funky grooves and surprising hooks, grooving along with her own voice and a lot of other vocal features, whereever you go. each Ôn everthing gets the room it deserves and mingles alltogether to so much more, than just another stereo sum. never heard an album that dry and that wet at the same time, with an overall fun and jam factor, that is truly touching. she took her original style more than just a few steps further and sharpened her skills in an impressive and real straight forward way of raw funkyness and true storytelling. you canÕt listen to it without moving. pilocka is always surfing the right balance of how much, or better how less it needs, to keep it going, get down to the point of no return and beyond the miracle of repetition.

this is a clear perspective on comelades musical universe and can be considered as an ultimate best of and a radical introduction tothis chaotic and uncompromising instrumental music. rocanrolorama abrege (abbreviated rockandrolorama, in english) is the short version of the complete works and reworks of pascal comelade published at the end of 2016 as a 6-cd box set in a sold-out limited edition of 1000 numbered and signed copies. pascal comelade made this album as if it was a new and separate album, with tracks that he considers best represent his work, from 1993 to 2016, according to the principle applied with the rocanrolorama box set: songs in their original form, alternative versions, reworks, additionsÉ this short version was conceived especially for a double vinyl lp format: four sides with six tracks each, which you can listen to in the right order, from start to finish, according to a logical, thought-out progression for each side (slow tempo, medium tempo, orchestrations, electricity, etc.)

over the years, berlin has been cited as oliver koletzkiÕs main point of reference and, more importantly, his endless source of inspiration. his albums gro§stadtmŠrchen and gro§stadtmŠrchen 2 are wholehearted tributes of the german capital, as its importance is continuously hinted and charted. friedrichshain, one of berlinÕs vibrant districts, has always held a special place in oliverÕs heart. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. kreuzbergÕs wall paintings adorn stil vor talent Õs cover sleeves and host their headquarters. there are little to no corners in the city that havenÕt brought a spark of inspiration into the mix. the schneeweiss compilation series, now at its seventh installment, is built as a form of tribute to all these particles, tied in together into a series of carefully curated tracks. each compilation stands at the intersection of the musical and cultural surroundings most prominent of their respective times, acting both as a reminder as well as a timeless sound capsule for the years to come.

pastoral/tropical soundscapes and post-brutalist compositions by max loderbauer and jacek sienkiewicz from their ÒendÓ cd seem to evoke those situations where can actually hear objects, shapes and time flow itself, a sort of synaesthesia which erases and obliterates beginnings and ends of events, processes and phenomena. apocalyptic and contemplative spaces generated by this pair of seasoned sound creators explode genre bastions of ambient and idm, leading into the spectral areas once explored by such pioneers and popol vuh or ilhan mimaroglu. above all, etheric and extra-sensitive ÒendÓ marks the meeting of two incurable individualists, who use various tools of their trade to come up with a surprisingly atemporal effect, an insistent pulse of detail on an ever-morphing background. without vivid commentary and recognizable soundbites of the present, ÒendÓ is simultaneously an interesting projection of hopes and anxieties of the new age. core of tracks included on the record has been produced on the occasion of max and jacek appearing as a live duo during 2015Õs berlin atonal festival, which resulted in well received Òalpine-tatra-himalaianÓ ep Òridges-. remaining compositions are natural conclusion of their friendship, conversations, meetings, trips and recording sessions that operate according to the rule of free improvisation with a reduced instrumental setup.

the avant garde movement largely influenced katsoulisÕ early compositions. after which, he turned to minimalism, applying elements of jazz and rock into that genre. since the 80s, the use of technology became gradually apparent in his compositions, whist not diminishing the importance of the human factor and the creative involvement of the performer. . today, he is striving for simplicity, trying to express the most, using the least, providing the context for this release. from the subtle ambience of title track Òif not now whenÓ, to the intense and confronting sound on Òall the blue skiesÓ, katsoulis and his accompanying musicians deliver a diverse and contemporary work with a level of sophistication that will challenge the current electronic musical landscape. the purity of sound in stand out track ÔtoreÕ is juxtaposed by the dark and gritty Ògrand delusionsÓ, a remarkably modern composition which sounds like it has been composed for a berlin techno club, from a man we suspect has never been to one. Ôslipping beautiesÕ, the most revered of katsoulisÕ back catalogue (recently remixed by young marco) is given an organic and intelligent reinterpretation for 2016. the haunting and provocative vocal performance by anna linardou on ÔzarrinÕ leads the record down an even more emotive and provocative path.

always keep moving, never stand still, a motto that dapayk & padberg have been following consistently for more than ten years in every respect. for nearly three decades sought-after musician, producer and machine enthusiast niklas worgt has researched diverse club sound effects with countless projects, while singer eva padberg is an internationally renowned high fashion model. since 2003 they have been traveling and performing together as dapayk & padberg. they are passionate sound nomads who capture acoustic impressions of their exciting journey. each album is a sound logbook, which captures memories in the form of beats, tunes and skits. on sink this ship, released a few months ago, the berlin-based duo provided a first glimpse of what you can expect from dapayk & padberg in 2017, with their new album harbour.

schneeweiss vi: a collaboration of neighbours. over the years, oliver koletzki has continuously cited berlin as a point of reference and, more importantly, a source of inspiration. two of his albums gro§stadtmŠrchen and gro§stadtmŠrchen 2 have been a direct ode to the capital. friedrichshain, one of berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in olivers heat. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now.
