musically and emotionally, superpitcher’s third full-length studio album, the golden ravedays is a one sound autobiography that exhibits the skill, feeling and style that the artist has honed over a period of twenty years, musically, and forty-plus-years, emotionally.

and full-length it is:

the golden ravedays is an epic album of 24 tracks that was released in january 2017 and is stretching over 12 respective chapter albums during a one-year period. the sixth piece of the golden ravedays puzzle will be released on hippie dance in june 2017.

number 6 of the series introduces two further tracks of the sound adventure that superpitcher is taking us on this year. side a features protest song. if music is a way of transporting us to other places, protest song takes us to a desolate, scary and loveless environment, a burnt-down, burnt-out place where the flesh of its former inhabitants is smouldering, void of goodwill and kindness in a cloud of toxic and greedy smoke. it’s all kafka and orwell and suffering - the most twisted and eerie track so far in the golden ravedays saga. what is undeniably clear is an acute sense of regret and loss - a warning that it could have been avoided, had we only listened to our hearts and protested. in the same vein on side b we hear powerful resistance. produced after the paris attacks of 2015 superpitcher outdid himself with this strong message of resistance. where protest song paints a picture of under-worldly doom, resistance’s techno beat and insistent refrain sweeps us to the surface of the muck of hatred and intolerance we’ve politically been dumped in. a voice that seems like a trapped animal is calling out to us. what is it trying to say? is it crying out for help? is that animal all of us? resistance represents hope and encouragement and could be the perfect marching track to any demonstration against negative forces. much needed in this age of bigotry where it seems like time has leaped backwards to a darker side of history. as for the dancefloor – resistance is irresistible!

isolation diaries is argentinian producer alejandro mosso s 2nd album. it comes more than ten years after his debut, hiperborea in 2005. he says i think the album is warm, emotive and nostalgic but not dark nor sad. it is percussive and melodic but not laid back and balearic. it is tribal and organic but still very precise, as only electronic music can be. the grooves are strong and infectious and the sounds are rich and satisfying, resulting in music that sounds very organic and unpremeditated. the album is accompanied by a burnt freidman remix of the track isolation diaries, and a ricardo villalobos remix of deardrum.

mit der neupressung von -loop-finding-jazz-records- als doppel-lp (inlusive downloadcode) ist 16 jahre nach der erstveröffentlichung ein meilenstein deutscher minimalelektronik wieder verfügbar. das stilprägende album erschien 2001 auf dem wunderbaren berliner label scape, wo es zwischen den knister-, hall- und frickel-klängen eines pole, kit claytons und burnt friedmans hineinpasste, wie die faust aufs auge. mit jazz hatte das ganze natürlich nichts am hut, vielmehr mit clicks & cuts und glitschenden microsounds, die seinerzeit hoch im kurs standen. das szenemagazin -groove- nahm -loop-finding-jazz-records- 2013 in die liste der besten 50 elektronischen alben auf. kollege tobias thomas von kompakt schrieb in seiner laudatio: -seine clicks und cuts waren wie funkelnde fragmente, die man aus einem großen diamanten herausgelöst hatte. umhüllt von digitalem sternenstaub, dabei nie kalt, sondern geschmeidig und feinstofflich dahingroovend, bewegten sich seine tracks wie ein amalgam von ambient, freier elektronika und sehr tiefer, sehr reduzierter house music.- die neuauflage von -loop-finding-jazz-records- enthält die beiden bonustracks -moiré (guitar & horns)- und -poren-, die ursprünglich b-seiten-stücke der 2000 ebenfalls bei scape erschienen -tendency ep- waren

jonathan baruc, in his guise as death qualia, makes his burnt offering to the undead rave with intention versus. the architecture of longing styled by the black hand beyond . the record leaps from tectonics to tenderness as it meditates on the violence of creation. cascades of sheetrock peel away to reveal a private bardo. though a student of technical finesse, jonathan drives audiences to examine their inner mythology and confront the golems they have raised.
the vinyl release includes a download code.

caravan’s coarsica ep is a gorgeous six-tracker of wandering drum machines and shiny synths, washed with the burnt umbers and viridescent hues of the australian outback. computer-funk with a green thumb. as the track-listing suggests, coarsica is a tribute to subtle and compelling beauty of australia’s native flora, as if costa georgiadis and dâm-funk got away from the big smoke for a weekend and spent the whole time by the river cooking this bad boy up. like the rugged and stoic banksia, or the regal flindersia, each track on the coarsica ep provides a dappled shade under which the weary dancer can rest in these hot summer months.

this ep represents the vinyl debut of toronto’s traitrs. it’s an extract of their debut album rites and ritual, a bleak journey that touches on the dark post-punk of the cure and bauhaus. the album is dark and laborious, yet refreshingly so, there are no glossy fairy tales here, instead we are left to consider the painfully cumbersome reality of the human existence.

editions mego is proud to present the latest opus from legendary british composer, actor, sound designer and all round fine human simon fisher turner. giraffe is a new major work which blurs the lines between sound design and song, machine severity and narrative sentimentality. subtitled living in sounds and music giraffe take the listener through a vast journey where an abstract clacking of unknown origin rubs up against a melancholic electronic sequence. life sounds were captured with a portable hard disc recorder and i-phone and appear alongside contemporar sound design. emma smith provides the narrative on slight smile whilst electronic machines grind amongst background industrial klang in mud larks .save as revolves around a beautiful simple piano motif which soon folds into an unnerving field recording and drone combination.

g string brings something new to the broken dreams pot. stripped down, bare bones blackened machine music. decoration is removed, the ornate purged. in their place sit burnt out remains. chords are hollowed and scraped, rhythms smeared and smudged as loneliness is amplified. a stark and spartan statement of grey skies and dark eyes.

rare brazil album made available again through mr bongo, incl. voce abuso & kabaluere. nice! a truly fantastic record that sounds the way it looks – psychedelic rock, samba-funk and tripped out mpb. features kabaluere as sampled by marcelo d2 on his hit qual e. arranged by rogerio duprat, featuring legendary guitarist lanny gordin. antonio carlos & jocafi were a very successful and famous brazilian writing duo, born in bahia. they worked with the likes of wilson simonal, rosinha de valença, trio mocotó, milton banana, toquinho and more. originally released on rca brazil in 1971, this was the duos debut lp. two versions of the album cover exist in brazil – this, the psyched-out, burnt out version, and a much less exciting photograph of the chaps, pressed to include the single desacato which became a popular hit in brazil and several european countries.

larry and bell are two musos from the east and west of the atlantic, who met on a scuba trip in belize in 99. larry plays bongos, bell is on the organic sampler and echo pedal, and a local cast of musicians backed them up on guitar, double bass, and kick drum. after a few rum daiquiris and many spliff, these are the sessions whittled down to strictly the best of hits.

cosi002 further documents an emerging, ex-germanic theory of perth dance music, typified by tracks built on techno’s stern compositional logic, but poly-functional and cross-disciplinary, wearing the stripes given to them by this most nonpareil of electronic music ecosystems.
the ep has both dance floor heft and mood-focused flexes. “the hunt” is a solarised, laser-sharpened and hi-hat driven garage/big room hybrid. 8-minute “m is for audio” is a workhorse techno slow burner with all the red-eyed melancholy of greats like “acid eiffel” and “deep burnt”, acid burnt and stinging at the mid-range. conversely, “rube” abounds with percussive warmth and ear-dancing patterns, as does “freshness and convenience”, a bastard union of dusty breaks and a hard funk bassline. the ep ends with ambient cyber walkabout “freetown”, peripatetic, matte-toned and pulsing with vital signs.

repress !! ultra heavy afro-beat rooted house techno compatible monster tune with additional percussion by burnt friedman, taken from crammed discs >tradi-mods vs rockers: alternative takes on congotronics< album - highly recommended!

spain s slow town rarely fails to deliver the goods. split, so called because it contains tracks from numerous artists, more than lives up to the label s rising reputation. it probably helps that the a-side comes from former bent man and longtime east midlands deep house stalwart nail. his -shake back- explores similar sonic territory to pepe bradock s -deep burnt-, whilst retaining the chunky, bass-heavy bottom-end recognizable from his releases for classic, shabby doll and robsoul recordings. on the flip, there s an equally assured cut from london stalwarts jonno & tommo. -wolf spirit- is an altogether more tech-tinged affair, built around a restless electronic bassline, hypnotic percussion and woozy, late night chords.

following on from march s shlømo remix package featuring donato dozzy, bambounou, shlømo and label boss kennedy smith, bright sound s second release of 2016 will new a brand new ep from sweden s andreas tilliander. with his releases on his own repeatle imprint and his tm404 alias s hardware-driven techno featuring on skudge white and kontra-musik, tilliander is among sweden s most versatile talents working right now. his arrival on bright sounds is of a piece with bsrx 004, last year s reissue of fellow swede henrik johansson s 1997 ep as smyglyssna. as with johansson s record, tilliander s stettin libau ep explores slower tempo techno, locating the moments of space and energy in between its rhythmic structures. this search is most keenly observed in knapp ledsyn , with its ever-shifting sonic landscape melting away at various points to reveal its unusual, skeletal beats and hidden melodic details, while the ep title track and nybliven lots apply that approach to what might at first be a traditional dub techno template, yet still offering further small moments of off-beat character. completing the release is a detox operation remix of knapp ledsyn from nonplace records chief burnt friedman, in which the german veteran strips things down to a gentle patter of drums overlaid with suggestive flashes of the original s rich atmospheric elements.

20 jahre nach dem flanger debüt auf ninja tune erweitern atom™ und burnt friedman ihre vorstellung von technoidem, zeitgemäßen jazz auf drei neuen nonplace titeln. die spinner ep (non42) bringt den womöglich brutalsten flanger-track spinner, der auf dem 2015 erschienenen album -lollopy dripper (non41, titel -spin) basiert. das 12 minuten lange, transmutierende loose joints in abwegigem rhythmus-modus (15) und der 4/4 club-track it from bit sind dagegen zwei 2016er originale mit swingender körperspannung und unruhig flickerndem glühen. dezent verpixelt versteht sich.

tyler friedman brings a hyper-realism to the table which meshes in very interesting ways with rohrer’s conversational percussive instincts. sounds like villalobos meets burnt friedmann.

2nd vinyl cut from -collapsizm- by japanese dub producer mantis including a remix by nonplace label head, burnt friedman. mastered by stefan betke aka pole from scape mastering.

evoking the old spirits of the earth using modern technology, pierce warnecke and arik hayut embody the truly terrible and awe-inspiring aspect of gaia in their tribalistic doom-tech rhythms.

the first years, from his first album in 1976 to his 7th in the middle of the 80’s, were fuelled with an exemplary sense of creativity and a free-spirit vision. against everyones advice, cerrone was never reluctant to compose long and pure trance disco tracks, not exactly radio-friendly at the time, but which did incredibly well because they encapsulated the hedonism of the day and were far more than a trend. for instance, love in c minor and supernature have become unbeatable classics, featured regularly in the best pop, disco or dance selections, such a success would have burnt most of the others wings, whose career would have been ruined. at the beginning of the 80s, when he decided to unleash his creativity on stage, cerrone managed to rebound with you are the one studio album.

after seducing people around the world with the future classic into the sun on local talks oneoffs label and footwork anthems on don t believe released on studio barnhus it s now time to present daybreak or as tooli described the track the first time he heard it -it s like listening to deep burnt part 2-. perhaps it was the jetlag (tooli arrived in nyc the very same day henry sent it) or the fact that it s a straight forward deep track with lush strings and no fuzz included. it s up to you to decide. for remix duties label boss tooli was brave enough to have a go himself and recorded some piano chords and strings. on the flip is where the real magic happens - parkway records head honcho mark seven, considered by many as a dj s dj and mighty fine producer, delivers a remix that takes you on a journey and a half. it s deep, got tons of percussions and lures you into afro territory. if body and soul was still around this one would peak on a sunday afternoon.

for the third whole truth ep, the nameless producer is joined by la vocal duo lucid paradise, comprised of ishtar and e. da boss (the latter is best known as the deep-voiced half of stones throws myron & e). on *party down* extends the direction of the tom noble mix of myron & e s *do it disco*, bringing beautiful modern soul vocal stylings to a limber groove that could have graced west end records in 81. the pair also duet on *who s taking all the love?*, while the whole truth flexes his dub muscles and drops some deeply burnt chords. this ep follows releases on the whole truths self-titled label in collaboration with uk dub legend erroll bellot and anglo-mauritian producer, singer and vocalist mo kolours, which found favour with the likes of optimos jd twitch and mary-anne hobbs (bbc 6 music).

tohuwabohu are saam schlamminger (aka chronomad) and burnt friedman.the first joint 4-track ep was produced in friedmans studio in summer 2013.

cartoon soundtrack alike electronica with elements of jazz, funk...

nofitstate return with four tracks from hot talent a1 bassline whose reputation has been building of late from a succession of releases for the likes of dirtybird, get physical and gruuv amongst others. here hidden agenda finds the young producer in true devastating form. skippy percussion, a nod to the uks garage scene, vibes the track along nicely whilst the bass does the damage. burnt out piano island delves deeper, acting as a neat counterpoint to the more main room agenda. here the style is much more nuanced with a more hypnotic leaning. outsider picks up the pace against, albeit in a subtle, uplifting vibe with warped pianos and razor sharp percussion. t moe p rounds things off nicely with a moody bassline driven groove.

304 is d tiberios ode to his mothers home. the address is both personal and anonymous, providing an entry point into the bleak emotional spectrum of daily existence and its anomalies. partial to concepts of imperfection, many tracks include lo-fi audio clips sampled from youtube, television and other non-musical sounds that may normally go unnoticed in our surroundings. the textures are burnt and the rhythms disrupted, yet each track is constructed to achieve an unconventional harmony. *raver 5* has caught the attention of both critics and fans for its mature, multi- genre production. *let her* and *gone*, featuring natasha agrama, pair sultry female vocals with heavy, atmospheric beats.
the double vinyl includes a download code.

making a clean break with the poisonous digital dubstep rhythms in his first ep, dogboy’s basement to the attic is an fearless musical odyssey where the confines of this world end in intriguing organic sounds. in a way that wishmountain or burnt friedman would, dogboy scrutinizes the boundaries between experimentation and pure dance music. using recordings made in the different rooms of his family home, the four tracks on the ep start with laying down the subtitle emotional cool yet wobbly riddim card on the table, before gradually rising the subs and the pressure into a rave like burst of pride. futuristic, organic, progressive and utterly baffling, what makes basement to the attic so successful is it is purely unique.

tin mans voice is infamous, romantic, an expression of love, life and beauty, but also slowly fades away, covered in sleaze. and so is his music, a melodic and rhythmically bass driven art work somewhere in between acid, house, electronica and synth pop. great. don t miss his album perfume which is set to release in spring 2011.
