enchanting and deeply moving - christian löffler with a new album on ki records. the double vinyl is housed in a tri-fold sleeve.

bergen�s christian tilt returns to norwegian label ploink with his debut album �alt skjedde jæla fort� this september. norwegian christian tilt�s dedication to techno over the last two decades has securely placed him in high ranks to play alongside the likes of the zenker brothers, margaret dygas and ploink label head thomas urv at clubs such as berghain, jaeger and Østre - all in the last year. here though we see christian tilt make a return to ploink for a second time with a five track lp comprised of an intricate cross-section of syncopated rhythms and dubbed-out techno. �dos were the days� slowly builds hi-hats and punchy kick drums, before a deep-synth melody drives the composition forward. up next is the stripped back �btl� that combines otherworldly aesthetics with a steady bass rattle throughout, before the gritty �a visit from france� unleashes a dark low-end, murky synth drones and frantic pad sequences. a relentless 9 minute affair titled �i only work late nights� then swells and pulsates over an unremitting beat, before �Øreverk� rounds off the package with frenzied clangs, muted hits and rhythmic percussion.

west side chicago hardware anthems. nick reads windbreaker project has been his refuge since the days of lazer crystal (thrill jockey). a chicago diy scene staple for over ten years, this is the first windbreaker full length. imagine kraftwerk being trapped in berghain and living off of floor scraps or christian hosoi pulling a christ air over the pyramids and you are somewhere close.

for nearly two decades, ploink has promoted techno nights around norway, presenting local talent as well as some of the biggest acts from around the world. we just really like techno. our definition of the genre is fairly wide though, constantly evolving, which we have attempted to reflect in this our first release, compiling four very different tracks by local producers from our hometown of bergen. setting up a label branch has for years been a burried, old plan. to us, techno parties, no matter how unique and brilliantly planned, have such a short lifespan, and as such it feels good to finally start releasing something that can get a life of its own, perhaps grow into something entirely different.

after his outstanding album debut christian naujoks is back withthe first of a 12 inch trilogy to be released on dial records. adoring the sound of pitched down pre-recorded strings dressed in deep, dub-styled echoes, east end boys is a song dedicated to to the raw and powerful sublimity of physical sounds. the song was created while naujoks was working on a live set for the akustic saloon at legendary berlin based berghain club in april 2009. overwhelmed by his flatmates live performance, lawrence decided to produce a remix of his favorite christian naujoks tune >bloom<, which appears on the flipside.

the boys i mean are not refined,
they speak whatever is on their mind,
do whatever is in their pants.
the boys i mean are not refined,
they shake the mountains when they dance.
- which i like.
