>black beauty< is the second album from metope for his co-founded areal records label. much like its precursor, >kobol<, the album swoons between techno, minimal and house timbres and poignantly coloured melodies. nestled amidst eerie dance moments such as >no self-control<, >deep sheep< and >alive<, however, are these woozy, country-kissed ballads like >so cutoff< and the riff-lead >rough romance< that ply >black beauty< with blues and soul. married with metopes warped and wonky electronic vision – epitomised by the albums serene slo-mo conclusion, >blood river< – >black beauty< is a blissfully tender listen, whilst providing left-field djs with plenty of weird and wonderful floor fodder to play with. the album features guest appearances from areal artists sid lerock (aka pan/tone), undo and stiggsen as well as electro-blues guitarist and singer k_chico.
double 12 inch vinyl release, includes cd-copy of the album.

hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth aren’t in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben valløe in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and valløe and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers

very special release!!! no represses when working on something, many other things happen which have an appeal of their own but do not fit together with what you have in mind, or where you are heading. this series of recordings is about the unexpected, things opposed to the plan. it is a slice of life, a snapshot that divides before and after. the more conscious you are of moments like this, the more often you will experience that something special is happening right now, in this second. and then it is gone for ever… unless you buy it on vinyl... already played by karotte (cocoon / great stuff)

limited edition box set, containing 7 x 7 inch vinyl and code for free mp3 download of all tracks.

ok, to call this album long awaited or highly anticipated would be a non sequitur. what lies here before you is sculpted out of the blood and tears of 5 years of life, and all the dreams, imagination, tristesse and longing that goes along with it. the name orgue electronique shouldnt be new to you, cause it isnt. for over a decade it has been lurking in the periphery of house music - forever too early or too late for the trend, be it as a solo artist or working alongside legowelt. but it seems the apotheosis is finally here, in the form of this mesmerizing double album: wholly matured and further enhanced by collaborations with luminaries like robert owens, alden tyrell and cult hero fre2k. but to just dismiss this as a retro house record would be to sell it short in a big way. sure it was influenced by the usual bunch of pioneers and icons, but this is not an epigone, this is music that is. its warm and generous, made up of real emotions, of moments frozen in time and of the impassioned cries of a soul on the run. thats right, this aint no hipster shit dime-a-dozen facebook house gonzales! to finally let it go after so many years is - for all the parties involved - a strange yet exciting moment, not unlike the birth of an elephant baby. out of a human female

heralding from a rock n roll and jazz background vaal is not aware of the strict rules that define & guard electronic music. therefore vaal is not afraid to break them. sourcing tracks and samples became an obsession: from this was born a compulsion to write, experiment & develop original music that could be equally human, equally electronic. vaal exists in the dark of the city: the secretive curtained room that you can never quite peer into, the dark pulsating dancefloors of the underground. vaal has nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears & sweat. vaal is electronic, & vaal is a baastard.

the ganas ep is dedicated to professor jaime escalante who passed away on march 30, 2010. the movie >stand and deliver< was based on his life. as a math teacher, he worked hard to inspire latino students in east l.a. to work hard at their math skills and at life with desire or in spanish ganas. when everyone else expected latinos not to do well at advanced math and calculus, he reminded students that the aztecs and mayans were masters of numbers. the tracks on the >ganas ep< are designed to inspire listeners to overcome expectations and remember that todays so-called minorities are the descendents of some of the worlds greatest civilizations.

the two dubstep pioneers at the top of their game. the deadly concision, the rhythmic punch and dramatic timing, the spry, side-to-side detailing of a cavernous stage, the crisp-biscuit vocal sampling and middle eastern percussion — together, their sound signatures are not so much totalled as squared. truly an album, the music is multi-levelled — dark as anything at times, but engrossingly varied and emotionally shaded, always on the move.

seit 2006 sind devin booze und sarah reynolds als ear pwr unterwegs. ein projekt, das von boozes instrumentierung, reynolds lyrik und dem kreativen zusammenspiel der beiden lebt. boozes ausbildung an dem von bob moog gegründeten music technology program an der universität von nordkarolina liefert das klangfundament, auf dem ear pwr errichtet wurde. mittels einiger alter synthesizer und reichlich perkussion schaffen die zwei dicht gewobene klangstrukturen. das bescherte der band nicht nur eine einladung zu dem von animal collective kuratierten atp festival in england im mai 2011, sondern auch eine us- und europatour mit ihren labelmates toro y moi. ear pwr , das zweite album des duos, wickelt die soundgespinste des 2009er-debüts weiter und offenbart dabei ein reichhaltiges set von klangkonturen. entstanden im heimischen nordkarolina ist ear pwr so freudvoll wie beruhigend, so sentimental wie neugierig.
