contexterrior is pleased to present the debut collaboration from italian producers alessio mereu and andrea ferlin, three immaculately produced techno cuts as slick as melting ice, with eerie voices woven so deep into the mix, you’ll wonder whether you’re actually hallucinating them. mereu is known for his material on labels like cmyk and toys for boys, and is also half the duo bunkers whose “holding back” and “barajas” have made the rounds in the clubs these past several months. ferlin is known for his past releases on freak n’ chic, boxer and mindshake, and is also half of duoteque. his productions have found their way into a number of commercially released mix cds including those by magda, triple r, damian lazarus & matthew styles. from the creepy title track, circling around like a shark that smells blood, to the serene yet bouncy “boxis”, to the tribal touch of “walking on the forest path”, the deep thoughts ep offers a variety of tracks perfect for mediation on the dancefloor.

turning and turning in the widening gyre
the falcon cannot hear the falconer,
things fall apart, the centre cannot hold,
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
the ceremony of innocence is drowned,
the best lack all conviction, while the worst
are full of passionate intensity.

surely some revelation is at hand,
surely the second coming is at hand.

makaton on token: a secret form of punishment

wonderful 1970s p.c.p inspired 20 track. compilation featuring a highly charged mix of psych funk, prog, afro, glam, cosmic, rock and disco. some very rare pieces on here such as the cosmic reggae inspired 360 degrees, the groovy psych prog of the creative craniums and the raw prototype psych funk of kid rock (not that one). others will be better known to lovers of a more progressive dancefloor such as soundforce and diabolic man which has long been a big spin for dj harvey and lovefingers alike.

without much need for introduction, archipel welcomes the talent of minus niederflur who bring with them the darkly blinding >lumen ep<. a lumen is a unit used to measure the perceived power of light and this ep is most definitely very powerful and certainly can be perceived as such. this is where the line between something as intangible as light is crossed and becomes tangible as one would feel an intense and warming heat which goes so far as to manifest itself as something with mass. title track >lumen< is the focused, convex lens, knife edge point of light which focuses a small portion of the suns energy so densely it could initiate many a blaze. >masse< is as dense as the most solid of gems and radiates dark light like heavy water and is sure to corrupt any geiger counter within its radioactive reach while >flor< stacks itself as high and wide as it can go, building further and further upon itself, and just as one would think it could build no further, it rotates itself back to within and further densifies, an inescapable sort of density of which one is eternally locked pleasurably within. >flucht< raises one into the blackest skies of night and flies hour after hour through blood orange clouds filled with the atmospherically scattered light from what was temporarily civilization below but is now just a memory shaded in the delight of being closed within the phosphorescence of late night fog.

restoration records highly awaited eighth release is the most powerful sonic weapon to face up this hard times. captain power and the soldiers of the future will lead the riot of the machines in order to restore the analogue kingdom. humans and machines, blood and fire, souls and transistors are operating together to fight the conformism and the loss of values imposed by the mass communication of this post-industrial era.
third side is the new operative group of restoration, formed by marieu, lucretio and by resident dj of panorama bar steffi (klakson/ostgut ton). >ready to dance< is a dancefloor disco-bomb, funky and sexy but minimalistic at the same time. very essential in its build-up, its bass line is addicting and relentless and its bass drum is powerful. we are ready to dance, its time to jack!
analogue cops >chamber< is a strong dark track in which a massive 808 drum explosion runs together with an ultra-pitched down voice sample. rushing percussions, piercy hi-hats, a breathless progression. an experiment which turns into a solid club tack.
on side b, >still me< represents lucretios vocation to neoclassicism. the time disappears and a gospel organ full of motown reminiscences reminds the most soulful works appeared on planet earth. dramatic and sweet, its evocative and hopeful. lucretios track on rst006 appears on tama sumos >panorama bar – mix cd<.
>mauzy< is marieus deepest track on restoration. beat-down smashing 909 drums, punchy snares, delightful piano chords, sharp cymbals, a praising voice. a track for a spiritual elevation, a track to dance until the last second. a track to listen to a million of times.

heavyweight vinyl. in this light and on this evening, the new album from editors, represents a significant step forward for the band following the huge successes of debut album the back room and the number 1 follow up an end has a start. there have been many changes to life in editors since an end has a start broke the band worldwide and established the then birmingham based four piece as one of the uks most prominent bands of recent times. bassist russell leech and guitarist chris urbanowicz are now resident in new york while singer tom smith has become a father. these changes added to the sense that in this light and on this evening is the start of a new chapter for editors and the band came together in london for the recording sessions with producer flood at the start of 2009 with a determination to push their sound into wholly new territory.

phil kieran has been in the upper echelons of the electronic music game for more than a decade, but is only now releasing his debut album under his own name. known for rocking clubs and releasing a string of killer twelves, belfast-based phil has hooked up with german powerhouse cocoon in recent times. sven väths label is now about to release shh, a groundbreaking piece of work that will undoubtedly gain phil plaudits across the board. shh seems to not only reference every sound phil has ever loved in music, but is formulated in a completely fresh and futuristic way. listen carefully and you can detect elements of dub reggae, old hardcore like lfo, hip-hop, early 90s electronica such as autechre/black dog and other warp staples, as well as the futuristic techno that phil excels in. for the album phil went back to old sound lab recordings dating back to the 1950s and 60s. utilising some of these sounds in the initial construction, he built up tracks using a combination of old samples sourced from original and weird places and some live new instrumentation as well. there are live drums, some electric / acoustic/ bass guitar and live keyboard playing as well as some choice guest vocalists.

this release has the new single >100 mph< and 3 rad remixes. the original track rocks amped up vocals with a chicago house groove, and the remixes change it up completely. the ac slater remix adds a bit of fidget and steps up the dub, making it awesomely crunchy. ocelot switches it up and stretches the track into a 7 minute journey, adding a bit of a harder edge. finally, free blood takes things in a more digital direction and injects a slightly darker feel to the track. there s something for everyone on this 12 inch and you need to pick it up.

a temporary sabbatical from gigs was taken and the band wrote material for where were you when it happened in new orleans midtown district, where their rawboned compositions resembled the katrina-pummeled surroundings. with their girlfriends with them in as close to a stableenvironment as they d been in months, they were able to tap a darker, more personal side in songs like as noise, and hunt you down, with its mournful, organ drenched air belying monotonixs typical good time charlie posturing, while fulfilling the albums need for a climactic, balladic moment. where were you when it happened? finds monotonix visiting a greater diversity of places within their sound while still retaining their minimal appeal. mostly though, where were you when it happened works up a sweat with raw rock and roll, acid guitar licks and riffs, screaming choruses and, in general, the wildness of monotonix in a way that makes for repeated album listening (and pummelling). where most bands refine their production sound as they go forward, monotonix have reverse refined themselves, playing dirtier and more energetic to capture the lightning they are known for.

fetter minimaler floorgroover, virtue ist eine straighte mischung aus französischen minimal beats und verspielten 90er synthies, doch keine angst, aufregende nummer allemal, die synthies bringen auch wirklich spass auf den floor zurück, superstrope rmx setzt dem ganzen noch eins drauf und grooved schon für leute ab 18, sehr italy in 4:15 min, kompliment! vice ist etwas ruhiger, mehr geeignet für die morgenstunden bzw. lange autofahrten, blood & tears rmx ist dagegen sehr, sehr percussion lastig, so stelle ich mir blinde kuh mit prodigy vor, aber prime time.

after the classically inspired, yet devilishly modern tech-house statements on his last e.p for dessous, comes this too-hot-to-trot release from uk young blood burnski. building on the solid, no-nonsense aesthetics of his previous work he presents his unique vision of today‘s club sound. quite the picture of current hybrid trends, between old vs new, ‚draw your sword‘ infuses classic chicago jackin‘ beats with a soaring, building anthemic hook. the track builds insistently with a tough, pushing house flavour yet reminds us not to get too carried with a tense and teasing breakdown structure. smart stuff that‘ll have you reaching for the rafters, in a moment of freshly spun dance music euphoria. ‚sleep‘, on the flip side maintains burnski‘s clear love of the deep, jacking grooves of our american cousins, painting a vivid and bold picture of modern, teched-up soulful house music. an irresistible nu-jazz-house riff slides between the silkily sharp drum accents, building throughout and once again providing the dancefloor with some serious moments of tension and joyous resolve.

first vinyl pressing since the original 1988 royal records lp issue. started as a rumor, or more likely a threat, royal trux burst from the belly of nyc cum dc scum punks pussy galore in 1986. disinclined to follow the path of their host group, royal trux began the process of exploring their own identity, starting with recordings given to the end of music as we know it compilation. the idiosyncratic album offered skeletal projections of songs that betrayed a singular logic groomed on bizarre and previously unconnected realms of the rock canon.

after a wait of 15 years and numerous 12es, e s, random compilation tracks and remixes rude 66 has finally finished a full length album and dare we say it s his most cohesive work to date? sadistic tendencies begins where 2005 s three faces of fear ep ended, with 18 tracks that slide like snails on the edge of straight razors, exploring the dark side of the human condition. thematically connected, deep, dark and mind bendingly analogue, sadistic tendencies is both tense and full of release, sometimes brooding and encroaching at other times exploding into throbbing synth laden dance floor bombs. superlatives aside, sadistic tendencies works exceptionally well as an album and is one of those rare 70 minute journey s that can be enjoyed from beginning to end – like a good horror movie that scares the hell out of you, but keeps drawing you in.

the munich resident florian senfter aka zombie nation or john starlight is well-known as the creator of tracks like kernkraft 400, souls at zero, space marines and last not least blood angels, which can also be found on the sound of the third season, and is thus a reliable choice for sweaty, energetic eruptions up to the fringe of demolition. this doesnt change significantly on road rage, which was originally released by ukw in a limited number of copies and is now the first sign of life from senfters studio, after three years of abstinence. with timehonoured plus 8 references and acid elements, the original recollects an almost gone quality of techno: to blow away your skullcap with the unashamed joy of telling stories, many breaks, some funky dirtyness and experimental noise playfulness. exclusively made for cocoon was the remix by parisian turbo producer popof who gives the track an even more intense gross-grained feeling. one does not have to be a prophet at all to tell that both versions are facing a great future in club autumn 2008 and beyond
