after some cold long nights on his ranch studio, ole biege, the best cowboy in town, and well-known for his remix of monkey safaris hi-life, presents his new release on super flus label monaberry. stomping sounds, blasting basses and semi-emotional melodies brought to you by this sheep-shaving and creative artist. his voice is his signature, his personality and the dot on the i in these 3 tracks...

knox is the band brainchild of brother-sister duo nic and eliza coolidge. hailing from boston and new york, the siblings released their second ep, here, on december 3rd, and it is a big step forward for the band. formed less than two years ago, in march 2011, knox finds themselves working with the likes of john tejada and kuxxan suum on this release, and the outcome is stunning. here is five-song set full of ice and echoes. it runs as close to the third rail of impersonation, but flies away so quickly that knox sounds contextual and perfectly fresh. the influences from james blake is clear: the swooping, bomber bass and half-timey compressed dub beats, here could also easily be an inventive b-side to the latest how to dress well album. but, with the limited scale, interspersed remixes and foundling status in the scene, i would say it is likely a more impressive feat. the ep as a whole is desolate. expansive spaces filled with cold little beats and vocal washes, exploring in the course of five songs an icescape aesthetic with a sense of place usually reserved for full-length albums. the remixes blend so seamlessly that i didnt even realize they were during my first, casual listen.

part two is coming ++ bastard electro ++ 200 copies only ++ cotton sleeve ++

ltd nice price copies !!! new project by damian schwartz !!! sam the mummy lives in the deepest catacombs of his existence. hardly ever he can be seen on the surface and just a few ones have the >honor< of knowing him. even stranger it is his relationship with damián schwartz, the only person allowed to listen and disclose his awesome and disturbing works. here is the first one: untitled1 (mupa008). it starts with cradle, a brief but captivating prologue. and from the cradle to the grave, here comes untuned (interview), where sam introduces us in his most personal universe, crumbling his darkest secrets. soon we can see what hes up to, because despite of appearing as a hard and cold guy, on the very first beats he reveals pure soul music. tireless groove with magnificent salsa touches, bittersweet cymbals and congas that run with an intimidating elegance. on b side, pharaon s cat introduces stand up. little by little, it steps into a background of hypnotic and jazzy sequences accompanied by aristocratic piano notes that try to break into, but can only go out on tiptoes. so smart and so danceable at the same time.

embracing his long standing passion for electronic music, the tracks on >stoic< showcase a diverse range of influences and are built to endure. the a-side moves from the mournful, hypnotic opener >bodies<, through the cold mantra of >trials<, to the shuffling trickery of >circles<. side b contains the gothic 2-step beauty of >shards< and the epic, industrial crescendo of >endings<. with an uncompromising vision - and an remarkable live show - to back up these initial offerings, wife is a truly unique talent.

it is a cold dark winter – snow is lying everywhere. simon12345 and the lazer twins are heading up north into a little wooden house in the northern parts of denmark. they will live there for the next weeks and build up a temporary studio in this secluded cottage. simon has got a handful of sketches with him. musical states of mind and conceptual games he developed over the last years. basically the idea is to develop something truly unique and powerful – although none of them knows how that will sound exactly or what will happen in particular during this time. it is not even clear who plays which instrument, who will do what…nothing is set. the only thing clear is that they have things to say, things that have been burning in them for so long now. tell me. how can (mostly) instrumental music suggest a way of life? how can you criticize without pointing at something particular? how can music transport you into place of quietness and self reflection?

how do you define the music of mantronix? is it hip hop? electro? funk? house? maybe the answer is all of the above (or is it none of the above?). it is true that mantronix will be remembered for their multi-faceted sound as well as their ability to bend and blend genres flawlessly into a cohesive musical tapestry, but they will also most importantly they will be remembered as musical innovators and sub-genre pioneers.

foam fangs could be a term used to describe silks preferred take on that too-easily dismissed 70s dancefloor dementia of disco – the soft bite, love nibble, mirrorball on steady/ready perma-revolve. jesse reiner (jonas reinhardts first mister, alongside past/part-time collaborators like phil manley of trans am and damon palermo of mi ami/magic touch), who never quite had the kranky krinkle of his ohm-ambient labelmates, travels head-on, tomorrowland-style, through long-form cosmic moroder constellations of >foam fangs<. nothing frothy about it, though there is a bit of the rubbery in reiner’s bounce-about, cool, funky kraut-disco. suddenly we are beaming back to a time when the world looked forward, envisioning a 21st century decked with silver, chrome, and neoprene. it is a sonic space both transparent and shiny, the metallic ding and cold ribbon of data, scrolling through infinite space. the opener, >foam fangs<, transports us instantly into an ever-expanding universe of sound and light at once fanning out and folding in on itself. variations on that theme continue as the jonas journey oscillates through the beat-beyond.

it is about time the exaltics and koova appeared on abstract forms, and part three, the next instalment of the combined series, is the perfect vehicle for the pair to showcase their talent. the exaltics deliver a stealthy blow of three typically wonderful works, ranging from the menacing tension of >cold lights<, to the dark acid-techno of >with the lights out<, to the restrained electro shuffle of >the last resort<. flip over to where koova operates, taking us on a journey from the deep atmospheres of >shift register<, to the mechanical electro rhythms of >rtfm< and ending the ep with the wonderful clinical execution of >flux tube<. superb.

having both previously released on phuture shock musik, garage experimentalists roof light and lostlojic return to share the honours on a split single set for release on the bristol label. always one to maintain an eclectic approach in his work, surrey resident roof light returns to his forward-thinking best, offering up >pearl< - a sultry number, where jerky beats intertwine with fragmentations of female vox that saunter through swathes of synth pads, glitchy blips, and warm dubby bass. on the flip lostlojic continues the regular theme of passion in his music, bouncing back with >so much<, another r&b inflected dancefloor gem, incorporating a saccharine vocal hook over a bed of lush rhodes chords. soulful as ever, and riding a 4/4 rhythmn just beyond the familiar 140bpm region, this tune premieres a departure from the typically cold, brooding style that the ukraine based producer is known for, to something more suited for the warm summer nights.

magneto is a bulky 4/4 kicker which is built around stuttering vocals and shadowy synth waves. morbius is the dub figure on the ep, stripped back of any fuss, this track lets the bass do the talking. mystique on the b side is a real acidic mover, this one is all about the melody with as much funk in it as it has pace. jeroen search steps up for remix duties and delivers his interpretation of mystique, this mix retains the originals groove but adds a cold hypnotic melody across the middle.

short version: swedish new school electronic disco music. one side with vocals by kicki halmos and a melancholic swing, the other one is slightly man parrish-ish and features viking muscle beats. both tweaked, edited and mixed by a certain terje olsen from another viking country. long version: during a long and cold night in stockholm some moons ago, a mysterious 7? was given to running backs chief a&r. he liked it so much that he wanted to convince the world of its greatness, got more copies, played them back to back, gave it out to djs and producers and there a certain terje olsen decided that he could prolong the all too short 7inch versions into a 12inch. and here we are. original versions released on drifter sthlm by samo forsberg. do some popping, locking & down-dogging!

two essential techno players. the bek audio imprint hits double figures on this release, showcasing label-boss gary beck while also welcoming the sounds of mark reeve. mark reeve has made appearances on labels like soma, cocoon & traum and is an artist that gary has been supporting in many of his recent dj sets. gary beck sets the pace with >ars poetica<, the rugged opening track on this release. rasping off-beat bass and unnerving vocal samples join toughened drums and percussion to create a full-bodied fix. on the flip, mark reeve makes his first appearance on bek audio with his >fabula< track. a clean, smooth and grooving lesson in restrained and delicate production, fabula utilises icy cold atmospheres with warm and unwavering rhythm.

this release should have an all natural ingedients sticker on it. all sounds you hear are from traditional instruments - recorded on various occasions in ivory coast. it took mr raoul k quite some time to get his hand on all the raw materia he needed. he then cut it in bits and pieces and rearranged the sonic puzzle to a slowly evolving track. join his journey that starts in the cold of a desert at night. the temperature rises with the sun. when things heat up too much, you have to take a rest in the shadows beneath a tree. meet some fiends, talk and relax - but dont get lost. keep you groove alive and head toward your destination. choose vinyl, please!!!

in italys deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. you can smell, taste and feel it. it s cold sweat. from constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. some say, its only paranoia. but you can t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. who are they? they are invisible. you can only see the bloodshed and the tears. and like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. this is the life of jack curtu. and his music takes you there. three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. senza via duscita - theres no way out! lux rec knows.

die stecker wurden gezogen, die drums in der garage gelassen – hansonis kommt heuer auf ganz leisen sohlen daher. akustikgitarre, zurückgenommener gesang und ein paar tupfer e-gitarre, klavier und keyboards – mehr benötigt der musiker nicht, um “shark week“ zu einer zwingenden angelegenheit zu machen. von folk über country und blues bis hin zur mörder - ballade – hansonis schlendert auf seiner melancholischen reise durch die songwriter-genres, veredelt seine songs aber immer wieder durch die entscheidende prise distinguierten 80er-pops. hier ein unwiderstehlicher melodiebogen, da eine prägnante phrasierung – der kölner vermählt us-amerikanische musik - traditionen mit einem britisch geprägten popverständnis und dreht am ende sein ganz eigenes ding draus.
