mister ho and heap are ambassadors of the river danube. this is their first offering for the esp institute. on side a, collision resistance throws us into the bowels of an underground sex lair with an adrenaline-laden heartbeat for a kick drum, a rough dose of fisting illustrated by the combination of bassline with low-tom and an unrelenting snare that whips us raw into submission. somewhere in between the waves of punishment we can start to audibly pick up tortured moans of endurance and pleasure, but maybe its time we pull our minds from the gutter, wipe the sweat from our brow and flip the record for a reward. with side b’s veils of the beloved, mister ho & heap deliver us via speedboat to the white isle, coasting along to bouncy staccato bass notes and machine bleeps as a euphoric chord progression puts us in an 808 state of mind. the percussion arrangement and phasing string flourishes are introduced through a filter, opening slowly as if coming up for air from a beautiful blue abyss. these two songs are neither too salty nor too sweat

this is idle033: the sound of an accomplished dancefloor producer stretching out. these aren t straight dance tracks, neither is this a ponderous ambient lp. this is vivid, vital electronic music for modern times. tracks to cut through the monotony of depressingly average house and techno releases. the music shimmers with warmth and humanity, a testament to karmil s personality as well as his skill as a producer. one can sense in the tracks that this a musician who has travelled and absorbed much along the way: long drawn out winter nights in sweden with the studio barnhus crew. years spent in cologne with its distinguished electronic sound, a city which has given so much to the world with kompakt and more. last but not least you can sense karmil s upbringing here in the uk, the roughness and rudeness all added to the mix. idle hands has never been a label to follow trends or to take the easy path. it has strived to keep people guessingand to remain in awe and wonder at new music being produced. inmatt karmil it has found a producer whoembodies this notion.

die musikwelt war hochgespannt, als nach zehnjähriger pause ein neues new order album erscheinen sollte. dass der inzwischen fünfköpfigen band mit -music complete- aber ein solcher -return to form- (spex) gelingen würde, haben so einige nicht mehr erwartet. der nun vorliegenden, neuen new order-single -singularity- attestierte der musikexpress zudem, sie würde einiges der -blue monday--dna in sich tragen. und in der tat ist der song mit seiner einmaligen balance aus rock und elektronik, dunkel, energiegeladen und tanzbar, die perfekte sound-symbiose von ursprungsband joy division und der sich hier auftürmenden, grunderneuerten new order.

one of tim love lees favourite nyc djs, eugene tambourine, has brought his considerable production talents to these two impeccable club classics - inner citys 1988 house anthem *in the good life*, and laurie andersons moody 1984 album cut *blue lagoon*.

altered moods recordings makes its first artist foray into asia, more specifically, it sets its sights on nagano, japan, where it finds a fertile and quickly expanding underground scene and one of its key players, yoshiki tsuchiya, also known as miruga. miruga has made a big splash in his relatively short arc as an underground artist. he came out strong in 2012 with human tube on anton zaps bellwether ethereal sound label after a full-length digital album on logos recordings two years prior.

following our very well received friends series we are happy to introduce our new collection series selected cuts. focussing on new talents also as on excellent producers you might not having on the radar yet. and we were digging deep to bring you new perpectives of deep house and deep techno. soulful as you are used to hear from jeudi rec. a start over. a new series which starts as promising as it could ever start.

heard on “melancholia” are interpretations of honzo’s subconscious visions of life. the intense compositions are made up of drones, noises and distorted beats moving in and out of the frame. on opener “orientalism” said elements blend with hi-hat brushes, brassy synth pads, sci-fi noises and distant human voices evoking islam’s “adhan” (call to prayer). the theme contemplates over alienation caused by western accounts of “orientalism”, soaked in “hüzün” (the turkish term for melancholia). on a2 a rework of “moral masochism” is provided by the mysterious shadows outfit, starting with a distorted guitar over a slow and gritty rhythmic backbone which gradually turns into a chaotic high-intensity acid jam on the ep’s most dance floor suitable cut. on the flipside, “lovesickness” presents a broken kick rhythm periodically flipped by toms and accompanied by a disorienting hi-hat rhythm, ghostly strings and sporadic human moans – all resulting in a tribal mood, recalling a ceremony, perhaps a quest for a saviour from the blue temper? b2 presents the “moral masochism” original. again a distorted guitar plays over a slow rhythm, but compared to the remix, the original’s intensity is introverted, contemplating over melancholia’s effect of deriving gratification from self-inflicted moral humiliation. ambient closer “emptiness” explores a cold state with such an encapsulating airiness that it feels like a close account of another person’s mood down to the impression of their breath. arpeggiated synth noises appear from a distance representing increasing pressure from the outside world without ever suppressing the state of mind. as a result, “emptiness” sums up the state of melancholia experienced as a mood rather than the effect of a cause.

ganze vier jahre nach *gemini* meldet sich jack tatum, der in brooklyn lebende kopf hinter wild nothing, mit einem neuen studioalbum zurück. für *life of pause* hatte tatum das große bedürfnis die genre-grenzen zu sprengen und sich klangtechnisch neu zu definieren. nach einer langen phase des schreibens und experimentierens nahm tatum das neue material schließlich in los angeles und stockholm auf - zusammen mit produzent thom monahan (devendra banhart, beachwood sparks). die neuen stücke platzieren wild nothing inmitten des popzirkus: euphorisch-mitreißende popmelodien treffen auf epische arrangements, und es ist mitunter unmöglich, sich für einen lieblingssong zu entscheiden, wenn diese platte so viele davon bietet.

love is a fridge, das zweite album des berliner duos me and my drummer. drei jahre nach der veröffentlichung ihres viel beachteten debüts the hawk, the beak, the prey kann diese außergewöhnliche band auf eine ebenso schillernde wie rastlose geschichte blicken. mit love is a fridge setzt sie nun einen neuen höhepunkt. als me and my drummer 2012 ihr debütalbum veröffentlichen, legen charlotte brandi und matze pröllochs einen mehr als traumhaften start hin, liefern mit you re a runner einen widerborstigen hit und spielen mehr als hundertfünfzig konzerte quer durch europa. währenddessen kollaborieren sie mit ebenso außergewöhnlichen künstler/innen wie kat frankie, tale of us oder breton, bevor sie sich sich schließlich zusammen mit produzent olaf opal komplett auf die arbeiten am zweiten album konzentrieren. love is a fridge zeigt, welche urgewalt und innigkeit me and my drummers musikalische kompromisslosigkeit gebärt. eine einnehmende direktheit, die sie in ihrer musik zelebrieren. das weiße doppel-vinyl erscheint im klappcover inklusive downloadcode.

nun wird -hotel ambient- als eigenständiges werk neu aufgelegt, und es ist erstmals in seiner vollständigen version erhältlich. so sind drei stücke neu hinzugekommen (-aerial-, -spaired-, -may 04 two-), andere titel sind erstmals in ihrer vollen spiellänge verfügbar. diese titel wurden bei der damaligen bonus-disc stark gekürzt, weil die spielzeit des cd-formates schlichtweg nicht ausreichte. auch liegt das werk nun erstmals in einer 3fach-lp 180g-vinyl edition vor . -hotel ambient- gilt bei vielen fans als starkes konzept-werk. bei späteren werken wie etwa -wait for me- wiederholte moby die idee ein ambient-album dem original beizufügen.

finally a visitor from another meaning returns to earth, and vinyl. the viewlexx veteran is back on our world with lost encounters i, four cuts from the vaults. beamed in from a distant galaxy is the blazing brilliance of -dance of the happy shadows-. past film score greats immediately come to mind. vangelis. carpenter. moroder. -i rarely talk to strangers- pulses with crisp beats and rumbling arpeggios, cloudy skies ready to rain on a polluted l.a. in 2019. the blue dot is left behind for the elation of -j is for jupiter-. the stars are the place to be. -j is for jupiter ii- drifts from cosmic currents before illuminating the heavens for the lead out into end credits.

the last few years has seen parris make a name for himself across a number of scenes, to the extent he is just as likely to be found spinning records for butterz as he is putting records out on berceuse heroique. here at idle hands we first touched base with parris many moons ago when he bought copies of the first release on his soundman chronicles label into our shop. as it is one of our favourite labels we were intrigued to hear what he would come up with as producer himself. needless to say we were impressed. presented here are two tracks that perfectly reflect his sound and our own a nod to techno here, a weighty bass line there, a love of reverb everywhere and all with a view to being played in dark rooms late at night. the 12 inch of burr and blue is idle hands last release of 2015 and we think it rounds off nicely what has been a great year for the label.

we’re finishing 2015 with what is pretty much a mini lp by borrowed identity, an inspired producer based in freiburg. there’s a lot here and we think you should just listen to and enjoy the record, draw your own conclusions, but what we will say here is the a is ballsy house and the b is tough techno that touches on trance occasionally. get why it’s called the contrast?

exclusive heavyweight 180 gram double vinyl in gatefold sleeve

repress in blue vinyl !! the late french soundtrack composer (1939-1975) was one of the first to use frequency modulators on an 8 track homestudio. he was known for his melodic works mixing electronic & acoustic. his oeuvre has been sampled by many. this release devotes a posthumous work composed for a cousteau documentary which was refused, probably beacuse it was too avant-garde. on the second disc youll find different tasty style-exercises that show to what extend roubaix manipulated the modulators with ingenuity.

belle alliance is the second studio album by german electronic music group ashra, released in 1980. it is the follow up to correlations from 1979 with the same band members: manuel göttsching (guitar, synthesizer, sequencer) , lutz ulbrich (guitar, synthesizer, piano, mellotron) , harald grosskopf (drums, percussion, synthesizer). the two albums released before under the name of ashra: new age of earth and blackouts (released under the name) had actually been manuel göttsching’s solo albums.

studio is benny’s 5th studio album. not just casually called by its name. no, there is something else happening here. the word ‘studio’ originates from the latin word ‘studium’, which stands for ‘studying’. the studio is the place where painters, artists and musicians learn, study and create. it’s the place where benny is most comfortable. benny’s amsterdam based studio has an amazing view of the canals. studio is an ode to this place, which he built 4 years ago, and everything it has brought him. because it brought him more than just the music he produced there. it gave him his place in the world and with it so many other things. all of which is to be heard on his new album. you find him exposing true love, follow his search for a home, he opens up about settling down and he speaks of breaking through old patterns in which he found himself being stuck for years.

one of the defining releases on large music gets a special re-issue after a 16 year wait. considered by many to be one of the top 3 packages in the early large catalog, this ep set the trajectory for what would quickly become known as the west coast sound of american house. the main vocal on side a also became a venerable classic at the shelter in nyc and was played consistently by timmy regisford throughout his tenure there. the darker, more disco filtered tones on the flip side were also highly praised and played at the time by french djs such as daft punk, phil weeks, cassius and many others. rasoul is often overlooked as one of the chief architects of modern deep house, yet this release certainly secures his elite standing in the annals of house music history. essential!

während roberts musikalische handschrift stets erkennbar bleibt, ist *hypermoment* eine stilistische weiterentwicklung seines sounds. mit seinen warmen, analogen klängen, seinen fields-recordings, den satten klangwelten und üppigen pianos, erlaubt dieses album noch mehr einsicht in sein innerstes, während es gleichzeitig die erste veröffentlichung ist, auf der roberts auch selbst singt (care, serenade, fernwood). die field-recordings nahm robert auf trips nach new york, berlin oder joshua tree in kalifornien auf, ebenso wie in seiner neuen heimat in silver lake, l.a., wo er unablässich an seinem album feilte. *hypermoment* featured einige alte bekannte, wie den in l.a. ansässigen künstler schwarzmodul, der auch auf *tsuki* zu hören ist, ebenso wie delhia de france, die auf roberts kürzlich erschienener *california dreaming* kollaboration zu hören ist. aber es sind auch einige künstler vertreten, wie z.b. uks fassine, mree aus new york oder stephen henderson aus kalifornien. *hypermoment* ist roberts bisher persönlichstes album.
