with his second release on baobab music, producer mr raoul k heads into new territories. like he did on his first release >le cercle peul<, he combines traditional african instruments and the african approach to rhythm with european production techniques and soundscapes. this time he examines the depths of sound of dubtechno. this effort results in an epic musical journey, an almost soundtrackesque piece of music that accompanies the travelling mind as easily as the dancing body. mr raoul k manages to stay focused troughout this long trip through the land of haunting grooves and irie sounds with ease. driving, yet calm at the very same moment. and full of surprises, too. the flipside delivers – besides a condensed edit of >himalaya< - a grooving piece of afrofunk-goes-house, perfectly fitting in the sunnier time of the year. fellow ivorian doungous delivers the infectious vocals to round up this track

sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

dj support: 2000 and one, karotte, tobi neumann, onur Özer, matthias tanzmann, ali schwarz from tiefscwarz... the four tracks on >Études Électroniques< find luciano invigorated and inspired, putting his talents into the service of dancefloors at their most delirious. with its delicate skip and its slow sunrise flare, >montana< opens the record on a blissful note, calm and suffused with light. a hollow bass tone puffs away like a glassblower as brittle rhythmic patterns spin round and round. swelling and drifting, weightless and iridescent, it feels like chasing dawn in a hot-air balloon. >fochedrem< eases off the throttle and cracks an ear-to-ear grin. a stubby one-note bass line beats out a kind of cartoon funk as the answering riff splinters and shapeshifts between cowbell, organ and piano. its as slippery as the deck of a storm-tossed boat. >masalla< features liquid congas and feathered metallic details that stand on end like magnetic shavings. laid-back and polyrhythmic, its a future latin maysterpiece

da gibt jake fairley aka fairmont alles zum besten! der albumtitel >coloured in memory< sagt mehr als tausend worte

public service message: from the pale horizon of the calm world, here emerges critical tension. product of his society, henry the white collar goes through a crisis. today henry is nervous, negotiating the heave and shove between fear and his uncontrolable urges, and this is his music when he does. we, the producers, are his fantasy. does it hurt or is it good? can you make him relieve his debt? after two releases on sound of barclay, and a hit (sink) on yvan smagghes compilation (suck my deck) released on react, and the famous cover of lios amoureux solitaires featuring jennifer cardini on kill the dj, henry is back with a dodgy 10 inch no punk, no electro - this is wobble

jerome sydenham and rune rk first met about 5 years ago, when jerome first played club rust in copenhagen. rune was the club resident, and the two immediately connected over the decks. even though their styles were very different, there was a mutual respect and understanding for the music. in november 2006 jerome and rune decided to go to the studio and see if these magnetic poles could be joined - and from nowhere magic happened. a new mutant of sounds and arrangements emerged. not really house, not really techno, but dirty and soulful at the same time. energetic, yet calm, these tracks are something new. they dont sound like rune rk, and they dont sound like jerome sydenham. so what do they sound like? have a listen

mos ferrys sublabel fenou returns after a one year break with a new limited 10 vinyl edition. the first releases realize collectors price and show a path to a universe of experimental, minimal pop. dapayks >dehalledretro< is probably known as part of his liveset. the calm and reduced, but groovy track emerged from a bunch of loops hes playing with during his performances. its a proof that shows, minimal is not always made of clean, sterile sounds and dry wood-like tones. dredl kiboshs flipside >i found you< is spinning around broken beats and intelligent grooves, beyond the klikkaklakka standards. its a link between four-to-the-floor and downtempo-breakbeat, very soulful

2 dancefloortracks of hamburg based label fresh fish rec. on the a side hausmann c presents a >beaty world< . on the flip paulo olarte does his thing with >dulce mio< . beaty world tells the story of a fight. with no need for words, the protagonists realise their roles and invent a language of their own. moving like dancers they approach one another, each strike a thought. a bubble suspended in the air. triumph alone encounters its dark side, as with apparent lack of effort it strips itself of all blemish. with stoic calm and an alienated quotation >dolce, mio< sets out to find the inner muse. entering her space the available talents present themselves and put themselves to the test. nothing appears simple, they flow and envelope their own idea and try desperately to gain the ultimate tension, which then, in retrospect incredulous, strangely intoxicated, is received as though by a jubilant choru

langeweile. faulheit. totale teilnahmslosigkeit. ist es nun schon eine so genannte quarter life crisis oder einfach nur eine ausrede, um blo§ nie erwachsen werden zu mŸssen? fragen wie diese, sind die eckpunkte jener welt, in die washed out mit seinem ambitionierten neuen visual-album mister mellow aufbricht. fŸr viele, viele vertreter der generation y ist das leben derma§en dramatisch und problematisch, dass es mithin schon absurde zŸge annimmt. und die methoden, mit denen sie sich von den ganzen unsicherheiten und unwŠgbarkeiten abzulenken versuchen, die zu ihrem alltag gehšren, sind dabei nicht weniger absurd - da ist alles von social media bis hin zu fantasywelten dabei, von drogenexzessen bis zu musik-eskapismus. mister mellow, das erste komplett als multimedia-werk angelegte album von washed out, fŸhrt durch all die hšhen und tiefen dieser oftmals lŠcherlichen alltagskŠmpfe und beleuchtet dabei augenzwinkernd auch das gro§e paradox, dem man immer wieder begegnet: wie kann es sein, dass wir derma§en unzufrieden und gelangweilt sind, wo wir doch eigentlich alle erdenklichen privilegien genie§en und somit mehr als zufrieden sein kšnnten? auf -mister mellow- dominieren eher experimentelle collage-techniken ˆ la musique concr�te. free jazz, house, hip-hop und psychedelic haben allesamt ihren platz in dieser welt, in der auch interlude-artige voiceover-samples aufblitzen, woraus sich insgesamt ein hektisch-chaotischer und karikaturistischer mix ergibt, in dem sich die reizŸberflutete psyche dieser generation widerspiegelt.

based on the eponymous play by brothers and author/performer team tobi and mike mŸller at schauspielhaus zŸrich, swiss experimental documentary film a1 traverses through time and space along switzerlandÕs first and most elongated highway structure. rich in archival sources, it sheds light on the costs and benefits of rapid movement: social, migratory and ecological patterns, economic and military designs that are mostly not immediately obvious to the casual motorist. stefan goldmannÕs soundtrack engages the filmÕs multi-layered aesthetics full on, providing a dazzling array of short compositions. profoundly synthetic in production, this free-wheeling phantasmagoria of peculiar, yet intensely likeable miniatures branches off into all directions Ð from minimalistic to overflowing, calm to banging, nightmarish to soothing. the visual patina of historic documents is playfully mirrored in intense distortion and noise artifacts, bound into rhythmic units and melodies formed of ghost notes. finding ever new ways of mining his techno background to yield surprising new forms and ideas, stefan goldmann has proven his abilities in a dazzling range of projects over the past years. works for dance, ensembles, an opera and various object-based creations made him a natural choice for the job of finding a refreshing way of linking sound and image. on its own, the music holds up by putting the listener on a high-velocity road trip of the curious mind.
