the first part reveals six tracks on two heavyweight discs. although most of the tracks fit the usual sit musical approach, the listener is greeted with a wide pallete of rhythms. assemble is an atmospheric dub infused with violins and orchestral echoes. permissive starts things up with a playful bass progression and continues with lush pads and cryptic voices. brooklyn’s deep moody synths and monster groove render it broken poetry at it’s best. for sure it will resemble those early danceable mornings. on a more joyful manner we are presented next with bootcamp s sturdy baseline and playful modulated vocals.
mandatory claims a whole side of the second disc and so does come around. while the first is almost experimental but danceable and warm due to the occasional driving percussions and 303 sounds the latter is the star of the show. come around is 15 minutes long and comes with a story too. a great collection of tracks, a great story that backs each one of them makes the first part of the sideways lp trilogy a treat to listen and dance to.

inspiriert vom new wave und punk der späten siebziger jahre gründen die aus toronto stammende, charismatische sängerin emily haines und der new yorker gitarrist jimmy shaw in brooklyn die band metric. die kombination aus punk, new wave, treibenden dancerhythmen, indiepop und einer spur electronic, verfehlt ihre wirkung nicht. in ihr neues album haben metric referenzen an musiker und acts gepackt, die sie inspiriert haben: depeche mode, new order, the cure, underworld oder kraftwerk. sängerin emily haines erklärt, dass es darum ging *die romantik einer anderen zeit zu finden, ohne in nostalgie zu verfallen*. dieses konzept findet sich auch auf dem albumcover wieder, auf dem das hotel chisca in memphis zu sehen ist (dort gab elvis presley sein erstes radio-interview). das neue album erscheint über das bandeigene label mmi via kobalt label services. doppel-vinyl im klappcover, downloadcode inklusive.

the second release on modern cathedrals includes an original mix by altstadt echo supplemented with remixes crafted by donor, luigi tozzi, and asop. the inclusion of donor’s remix represents a continued effort to link together the detroit and brooklyn scenes, while the luigi tozzi remix connects modern cathedrals to the ghastly, dark styles of techno that italian artists have become so respected for. as a core member of the modern cathedrals team and a primary force behind the label’s event series, asop’s remix is the very first public release of work by this incredible new detroit-based artist. but while the artist names change from record to record, the philosophy does not. we continue in a desperate attempt to generate meaning during the short spasm of a lifetime we are given in a world that seems to conspire to prevent this effort’s realization. this situation might be inescapable, but through the rejection of complacency and dogma, we can approach our end with the bitter comfort that we were at least willing to be honest about our situation.

nice price deal !!! helping listeners to escape reality, which has been known to grate, on occasion, has long been a noble aim of many musicians. one of the most effective ways to do that is to create imaginary soundtracks for impossible science-fiction films, the darker and more un hollywood-like, the better. another method is to take inspiration from great works of architecture, which, as goethe cogently noted, is frozen music. the latter route is used by brooklyn producer jonas reinhardt (aka jesse reiner) on his sixth album, palace savant. reiner undergoes a profound solo odyssey on this album. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

michigan native dj soko is part of a long line of great technical djs, musical innovators, curators and those who broke key artists and introduced acts that forever changed the landscape of the music scene. sokos ear and ability to put emcees in position for them to shine over the perfect production is never more evident than it is on his debut project released on his imprint left of center. dj soko uses his years coming up in the detroit scene, his experiences djing in his current home (the planet of brooklyn, ny) then blends both of those worlds together seamlessly. the end result is a gritty, boom bap rap album that is equally as soulful and introspective as it is rooted in a blue collar lyrical hip-hop aesthetic. *domino effect* is ultimately brought together by sokos deft cuts and scratches which elevate each composition and make them resonate with listeners even further.
