its clear from the opening seconds of tu fawnings debut full length, hearts on hold, that theres something very, very different about this portland, oregon band. the two note trumpet refrain of >multiply a house< that echoes like the distant sound of a battlefield, the ghostly chanting writhing around it as though in a trance, the funereal drums that boom in the background and the harmonies emerging as the chorus unfurls: these are not the sound of your everyday indie rock act.

port o brien is dead, long live waters. these new songs veered away from the frequently loose, punchy anthems of port o brien, and as van pierszalowski intensively pieced each one together, he sought a bigger sound – something louder than he could play on his own. so van returned to oslo, where his new journey began.

siince the release of his debut album, substantial, in 2004, volker bertelmann – aka hauschka – has, slowly but surely, earned a remarkable reputation as a purveyor of imaginative, distinctive, prepared piano music. this isn’t, to be fair, a heavily populated field, but it’s one he’s made his own, and while some might have dismissed his work early on as a novelty, bertelmann has proven himself to be uncommonly inventive, coaxing ever more unprecedented, euphonic sounds and rhythms out of his instrument. even so, on what if – which finds him adding player pianos (also known as pianolas) to his armoury – bertelmann expands his range even further, defying expectations and delivering what is without doubt his most ingenious album yet.
the vinyl release includes a download code.

hauschka is a composer, songwriter and experimental musician who has brought an exciting new perspective to the prepared piano. the prepared piano – a technique for getting new sounds from the acoustic keyboard by resting pieces of paper or drumsticks on the strings of the instrument - has been used for centuries, but hauschka was unaware of the tradition when he began exploring ways to get new sounds out of his bechstein grand upright.

fresh on the back of the release of his third album good luck and do your best this summer, gold panda signs off an acclaimed 2016 with a very limited 12 of three remixes of music taken from his latest record. having previously re-worked the panda track community, berlin-resident fort romeau once again takes the reigns with a gorgeous, nine-minute pulsing, electro-heavy recreation of the track time eater complete with ghostly synth motifs that twirl around japanese instrumentation culminating in a frenetic release. us producer john roberts, who himself released one of the best deep house records of the year, remixes chiba nights, transforming it into a thumping, acid-tinged affair that mixes space and warped electronics beautifully.

the third album from gold panda as 12 inch vinyl release with download code included.

the white noise backdrop of modern life means that without some fine-tuning on our part, even established and progressive artists can become elusive on occasion. but since musical creativity involves a healthy drive to self-determination, and often a keen collaborative spirit, out of earshot doesn’t necessarily mean out of action.
certainly not in the case of junior boys, who’ve readied a new album, big black coat, via city slang. a strikingly energised and intuitively dynamic set that reconnects them to their techno roots without sacrificing their soulful pop nous or riding a revivalist wave, it’s also shaped by what jeremy greenspan and matt didemus have been doing in the five years since their last release.
the 180 gram vinyl release includes a download code.

city slang is very proud to announce the sympathy for the auto industry remixes by berlins analog techno prodigies fjaak (50weapons/ monkeytown), which is an electronic music trio from berlin and probably the only techno-boyband worldwide.

pick a piper was conceived in 2008 along with band mates angus fraser and dan roberts, and following two eps, the band is set to release their debut self-titled debut album. the album is made up of eight very different songs, all with one thing in common: each is built upon the foundation of its own ingenious rhythm structure, with musical layers meticulously applied, up until the vocals, which are added right at the very end, if at all. song writing done back-to-front, which is also fitting in this case because: brad weber? isnt that...? yes indeed! brad is also the drummer for caribou.
the vinyl lp comes with free download code.

to celebrate the rerelease of the three classic to rococo rot records on city slang between 1997 and 2001, we have asked two friends and fans to rework their favourite tracks of these albums.
four tets kieran hebden chose the brooding minimal collage >he loves me< from the bands 1997 archetypal release >veiculo< and, like a prism in singular beam of light, his remix reveals the songs true glistening content.
mute label founder and longtime to rococo rot afficionado daniel miller teamed up with london based producer gareth jones to give >cars<, from the bands impeccable second album >the amateur view< a compassionate modification into a ... well, lets call it a krautrock disco truck.
the 12 inch will be limited and only available for a short time.

in an age saturated with soundalikes and retro throwbacks, the truly unique and unconventional can be hard to come by. storming the 2011 scene with her self-titled debut album, berlin-based barbara panther seems to embody these latter characteristics - and then some. the singer takes risks, blending musical influences and crossing boundaries of musical style innovatively and effortlessly, and the result is a journey through vibrant soundscapes, frenetic arrangements interspersed with moments of beautiful melancholy, and the creative explosion of elements of her past, the present and the future.

this is a record that lives up to its name with spacious and cinematic arrangements, layers of subtle percussion, and at times an impenetrable wall of found sound.

nice price deal !!! comes with coupon for free mp3 download.

cortney tidwell has confirmed details of the first single to be taken from her forthcoming album boys which is – according to tidwell – >about two kids in love, fighting, and they eventually kill themselves. its a modern day romeo and juliet.< undeniably one of the most electronic songs shes written, it calls upon diverse influences like new order and depeche mode and packs a typically impressive melodic punch. the track will be available as a special single edit, and is accompanied by exclusive mixes and an a cappella version. after the success of ewan pearsons remix of the title track to her debut album dont let stars keep us tangled up (a pitchfork track of the year 2007) duties are this time handled by simon baker and daphni. bakers remixes for radioslave and simian mobile disco have confirmed his status as one of the most exciting djsand producers around, and he gives the track a technicolor tech-house workover perfect for summer twilight. daphni – aka dan snaith, aka caribou – has meanwhile turned in a fourteen minute monster, a trippy techno bastard that sneaks up gently, growing relentlessly until it leaves listeners dizzy and euphoric.

royal bangs are from knoxville. that in itself is a statement: theres not much that comes from knoxville, tennessees third largest city, and even less that gets away. quentin tarantino made it out, but the last citys mayor was allegedly so desperate to escape he now works as the us ambassador in poland. cormac mccarthy moved there as a child, of course, but by the time he d written his second book he was long gone. only johnny knoxville advertises his geographical roots, and quite clearly hes a glutton for punishment. so while just one of royal bangs currently has a passport, that doesnt mean they dont know that royal bangs is their ticket out of town.
