rawax proudly welcomes mr. reggie dokes to the family! we re happy to present another great artist from detroit on our fifth motor city edition.

castanea records returns with its seventh release, we are talking again about an lp this time signed by paradroid. the artist is the new entry in the label and returns after a long time with an album that draws a definitely microhouse sound which characterizes him being a pioneer of this genre. an old school sound unique and characteristic perhaps missing in the market since long. 8 tracks cared in minimum and the high quality details mixed and registered 100% in analog tape. this icing cannot miss in the disk bag of any connoisseur in gender or non. there will be a novelty even on artwork level, this time we have decided to adapt to release a beautiful gatefold rough collectible cover. vinyl only!

almost 10 years have passed since onra arrived with the charmingly eccentric chinoiseries lp. 32 hip-hop beats formed the sample-based project dusty chinese vinyl hissing and crackling throughout resulting in an intriguing and spontaneous mix of the producers interest in exploring a newly-discovered style of music with his love for classic hip-hop production. using the style of analogue mpc production combined with the somewhat restrictive record sampling of strictly chinese music records, he has been able to be creative over three volumes, an amount of 100 instrumentals, despite the challenge of finding more obviously standout samples in chinese music. the chinoiseries projects are the type of albums that invites the listener to play it from beginning to end, in order to really enjoy the trip and appreciate the variety of rhythms and textures spread over those 32 short instrumentals. in that way, pt.3 is no different to its predecessors, but the originality of the samples, the curious harmonies and the odd-drum patterns still makes the album sounds as fresh as the first one. onra finishes this epic trilogy with class as a result of extended record digging across the far east and the producer s own development over the preceding 10 years.

conceived on a dark winters night, ‘we can only’ tells a sombre story of lust and heartache. the heavy kick and bassline beckon, leading to hypnotic guitars and sultry strings. euphoria ensues, questions are left unanswered, until a sweet female responds.
harry s second production, ‘love flow’, came together in a summer of romance. blissful horns and a sensual vocal carry us into a breakdown fit for a bahamian honeymoon. this one is for bringing people together and sharing love.
an edit from the shadow city boys flips harry’s ‘love flow’ on its head. the ‘only lover’s edit’ is a hazy excursion reminiscent of times gone by. plodding along like a 6am slog home. this solemn end brings us full circle, a record that meanders mesmerisingly from one mood to the next… the first of many.

thus far lost city of atlantis has been spotted on just one 12-, released on emotions electric two years ago and supposedly the handiwork of a producer active in the late 80s between new york and detroit. whether the providence is correct or not hardly matters, the most important thing is the quality of the tunes, and on this new release for slow town there s an abundance of hardware delights to get freaky to. -secret code of 7- is a particularly bugging synth jam, while -four- piles the swinging funk on heavy. this is certainly rough and ready house music, whenever and wherever it was made.

neue elektronische instrumente – minimoog, arp odyssey, roland system 100 und mc-4, die legendäre korg ms-20 oder die roland tr-808 – ließen die musiker zwischen punk und klassischer ausbildung, zwischen kunstakademie, ratinger hof und dem kölner studio für elektronische musik, einen völlig neuen hybriden entwickeln. die zusammenstellung trägt neben der historisierenden leistung aber auch einen deutlichen genusswert: neu!’s “isi”, rothers “karussell” oder wolfgang riechmanns traumhaftes “abendlicht” nehmen einen mit auf eine reise durch die wolken, daf, liaisons dangereuses und die krupps tanzen gleichzeitig am boden mit schweren stiefeln auf den verdreckten böden des düsseldorfer untergrunds. “electri_city 2” versammelt die exzentrischen protagonisten einer bewegten zeit, gleitet im rundblick durch den elektronischen kanon der landeshauptstadt nrws und birgt gleichzeitig lang verloren geglaubte schätze wie teja schmitz weitestgehend unbekanntes stöhnen in “studieren”.

novoline makes music with equipment that was manufactured in 1988 and 1989, controlled via midi by two atari sts. as a sequencer he is using an algorithmic composition program that is 25 years old. with this program he creates sequences that he modulates live by shifting numbers and settings while recording. the process is improvised and contains a good portion of randomly generated melodies and drums, carefully selected and combined by novoline. the result sounds a little like something between a dark 80’s sci-fi soundtrack and an endless marching new beat extended version.
