so low is an occasional night in glasgow run by iona fortune, jd twitch, katie shambles and becky marshall. so low is strictly for creatures of the night and plays music that could perhaps be described by the words dark waves / cold waves / minimal synthesis / maximal industrial / lo-nrg / forgotten flemish goth bands, teutonic apocalyptic beats +++ it is now also a label, administered by optimo music. after debuting with happy meals “full ashram devotional ceremony” album, here is the first 12” release, “now & then”, a various artists 4-track ep featuring two tracks from now and two from then.
the 12” comes housed in a bespoke hand printed fold out poster sleeve inserted into a plastic sleeve with screen printed text on the plastic, designed and created by katie shambles. due to the extremely labour intensive nature of the sleeve design this will be a strictly limited edition of 300 copies.

opening the ep is k.a. posse aka kaay alexi, a legendary producer whose tell alexi features here, a raw, low slung acid burner with sultry vocals and tough as nail drum programming from 1989. killer stuff indeed. following that we have the jovonn blade mix of terrence parker s the lost articles jam touch me baby from 1993 - some classic detroit early proto-beatdown sounds, rough and ready and still doing damage today. on the flip is the stone cold banger flash by fix aka orlando voorn, this demented p-funk ripper never quits and is a monster! classic material. finishing things off is the mk mix of nexus 21 s still life keeps moving on , it doesn t get any bigger than this, pure heat. pretty much an all-star line up on vol. 4, a perfect release for the novice and expert alike! file under classic, all tracks encapsulate the detroit sound while retaining that raw energy and vibe that this music is famous for! heat! 100% legit, compiled with the assistance of kevin reese saunderson and the whole kms family, detroit, mi.

adding to previous 12“es on ostgut ton and his own rk label fellow neuköllner and berghain resident kobosil offers four new uncompromising techno club tools.
while all cuts on the 105 release share filthy, stone-cold, elemental rhythms – pounding, energetic and hypnotic 4/4 kick drum slaps – the devil is, like with all kobosil productions, in the aesthetic details. “40000 l” uses gargling synth patterns and howling horns to dramatic effect, “bei nacht h (178)” contrasts the kick with a harsh, tinny drumbeat and menacing melody pad, creating a nightmarish vibe.
“backmask n” on b1 offers heavily alienated vocal samples alongside rave-reminiscing synth stabs and staggered hi-hat percussion. “derange” closes this four-tracker with grainy drone echoes and throbbing, sizzling synth pulses.
adding to kobosil’s full-floor-focussed sonic repertoire 105 shows him from his darkest and most vigorous side yet – this 12“ is a brute, in the most positive sense.

sex. sorrow. synthesizers. digital romance are a french duo cast in the mould of vintage electro pop. their sound echoes those halcyon days but is firmly set with an eye on the future. vocals, from marie de berlin, are deep, inviting and rich. tracks tell of lost loves, forlorn figures hoping to find solace in the cold and calculated world we inhabit. sparkling synthwork, care of forgotten illusions, perfectly matches those breathy lyrics, catchy hooks ensnaring hearts and minds as they spiral through the dancefloor of their lives.

montréal synth pop police des moeurs are one of the finest and rawest bands in the minimal synth/wave and cold wave scene. dédales , their third full lenght, is keeping the pure energy of their previous efforts while leaving greater room for atmospheric and textural considerations. the album will lead you into the passage zone between civilisation and wilderness, a mysterious place where truth, lies, light and darkness collide. limited edition of 500 copies.

following releases on detroit underground, nachtstrom schallplatten, planet rhythm and blueprint records, gotshell releases his first ep on atrophic society. the colombian aficionado has been making waves across the world for his uncompromising take on the darker side of techno. his new ep ‘quarkcima’ is no different, with a thick slice of bass-heavy machine music made for late night body moving. ‘quarkcima’ follows a bleepy lead with layers of bass, building to a satisfying and tasteful crescendo, which steers clear of the tropes and uses frequencies to their fullest. it invokes a dark and foreboding atmosphere like a creeping black fog. first on remix duty is xhin, who takes the bleepy synth lead and twists it into a heavy-but-funky robotic jam, stark and cold on the surface but with plenty of heat underneath. jeff derringer takes the reins for the second remix, wielding the original parts masterfully into a dense, bassline-driven triplet groove that takes the vibe up a few notches. finally, label head vohkinne adds punch and percussion to his charged and clanging remix, which rounds out a fierce package in style. ‘quarkcima’ is four cuts of essential techno that will never leave your crate.

following the edge & void, french producer and goldmin music label owner romain lanteaume aka einka delivers his first album to waken doubt in one.

hot on the heels of his cold outing earlier this month, bristol bewitcher batu makes his debut on hessle and marks their first release of their 10th year of business. timing is everything -marius ripples with an insistent broken drum pattern that s coded with latent funk and dubspace while of court creates even more room between the drums while maintaining the techno pressure. -noseme- flips for a more subaquatic session where the beats adopt a more relentless rolling formation while the groove develops more of a dubby sensation. finally dont brings us back up the surface with a soft beatless thrust. play safely.

nice price deal !!! a co-production with benga ? the brilliantly sparse, bleepy >green eyes< ? is going to grab peoples attention, but the other three tracks here are easily as good. sarah goldielocks akwisombe makes outstanding modernist electro-pop with dark, emotionally intense lyrical themes and a hefty dj-friendly dubstep wallop, and is without question a talent who is here to stay. the ep is overall inspired by london, underground music scenes ? 2step / garage / grime and dubstep, paranoia, relationships and concealed emotions.

electronic music- / dj- und producer-pionier moby veröffentlicht sein 13. studio album »more songs about the apocalypse«, das bereits zweite werk, welches unter dem alter ego moby & the void pacific choir erscheint.
für moby-fans ist es nicht überraschend, dass innerhalb der 3 dekaden seines schaffens auch dieses album die spirituelle als auch politische ebene in diesem album aufgegriffen wird. »more fast songs about the apocalypse« ist wohl das persönlichste werk, das moby seither veröffentlicht hat! »that quality of atmospheric sadness i’ve done so much of before isn’t here – there’s nothing quiet or ambient, sonically, this record isn’t subtle: it’s big & loud, with huge kick drums & massive choral choruses.«

the brooklyn sessions bring together old and new pinkman friends. annanan returns, this time with maroje t, for three pieces of ny darkness. acid tainted torment opens the 12inch, pain and rejection catalogued in the barren confrontations in terms of sexuality. i saw you maintains that cold edge. militaristic percussion is dipped in industrial grease, lost samples circling in a haze of distortion. the pair explore reduction with tracks being boiled down to leave only distilled dread behind. the breathy vocals of i am close, drum patterns looped into machine groan and the aching abyss.

anglo-cherokee-japanese skateboarder turned musician korey dane returns with his second album chamber girls. influenced by the likes of t.s. eliot, tom waits, karen dalton, the beatles and the stones, and more, chamber girls was recorded almost completely live at l.a.’s analog time capsule valentine recording studios, searing instinct and experience direct to tape. dane produced everything himself, too, except for a quick assist from legendary producer tony berg (x, public image ltd.) on one song, and he was inspired by the deceptively simple ethos he’d internalized while making youngblood: pursue greatness. “writing a song that you know someone might skip over later is sacrilege,” he says. instead, he wanted every song on chamber girls to feel not only live but alive, too, with that go-forbroke spirit that animates everything he says, does, or sings: “i’m writing all the time,” he says. “i’ve lived by a line a day sometimes. i try and stop when it’s good. if you try and simplify it down to its bare elements ... it’s truly a redemptive act.”

born as the daughter of two opera singers josin grows up constantly surrounded by music. for herself josin draws a lot of her inspiration of the northern world, which is as rich in contrasts as her music. it is rough and cold but full of nutrients and life. and if you wish you can exist in it and slowly but certainly and then forever recognise its beauty. currently the musician is working on her first album and new songs. although josin likes to choose a way between elegance and minimalism, the first tracks of the new recordings present themselves with a power that presses forward more determinedly. her producing also appears more open and experimental with electronical and classical elements. yet she maintains her natural otherness and intensity in a timeless way.

over two decades have passed since the mover aka marc acardipane made his first appearance to the world of electronic dance music. under the wings of planet core productions (pcp) his releases spoke for themselves and he quickly earned a special pioneer status and cult following. the mover was always a unique sound leaning towards the edge of darkness and abstract characteristics. with several releases on his co-owned label pcp as well as r&s records and tresor he always managed to create unforgettable milestones of raw, apocalyptic yet danceable tunes that have remained timeless and individual until today. with the mover – selected classics (remastered 2017)- on his freshly launched label planet phuture- he returns to the surface and shakes the world with a compelling assortment of the most impactful tracks in a remastered, fresh sound quality. experience an uncompromising dystopia with tracks like nightflight (nonstop 2 kaos), into wasteland- or we have arrived. astral demons, waves of life or spirit slasher will pull you deeper into the center of your subconscious mind and certainly leave you dazzled. the mover - selected classics is unquestionably one of those releases that can t be ignored and must be a part of everyones techno collection!

a very expected release is finally unveiled, cold colors new ep “leave this world behind”. this one-man project is without any kind of doubt one of the leading synthwave acts of france, frédérick barbe proved himself as a truly master into create hypnotic soundscapes on his fully analog recordings. “leave this world behind” represents his fourth ep and again shows us what “minimal melodic synth“ music should be, perfect bass sequences, clear drum stems and that catchy cold colors pads. all tracks mastered and remastered specially for vinyl by eric van wonterghem at prodam studio (berlin).

off the leash is the cry of morphed pack animals from a ufo crash site. it’s radiated saliva dripped onto cold machinery burning through circuit boards. .the first transmission morphs from cyborg electro to broken down party frequencies. it’s conspiracy meetings caught on short wave radio. the b side hits it harder, rolling tough with some nasty b-boy party electro and a euphoric hardcore cut complete with acid lines swooping in like winged beast. a fitting soundtrack to a midnight cruise across the landfill dunes as mutants creep into your backyard as the bros sink into the dunes.

since its inception, shifted s avian imprint has gone from being a murderous, straight-laced techno imprint to what has now become a source for some of the best and most multi-faceted industrial music from the european quarters. we re not sure of verge s true identity, it could either be one of the label s existing artists, the mysterious shifted himself, or even an artist like blawan riding incognito (don t quote us on that, though!) solitary and crest-fallen, this magnetic collection of tunes feed off one another with utter ease and simplicity. they re not merely a selection of sound experiments but rather a unitary cloud of sonics which leave the listener with a powerful mental image. the feeling of dusk, the water dropping off the leaves, the cold breeze of autumn. this is a blinding foray into the darkest corners of contemporary industrial experimentation.

there are depths in humanity which one cannot explore, as there are mephitic caverns into which one dare not penetrate. madness in any direction, at any hour. the anatomy of human destructiveness, a hole like a sewage drain for the fine clear coat of civilisation, a place where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools. if there is such a dark moloch which deviously knots a thread within us, with which to hold us and draw us down an eerie and delirious path that we would never otherwise have set foot on, then d. carbone’s mephistophelian alter ego honzo pulls us with his 4th installment “distopia - un mondo indesiderabile” right into its gaping abyss, leading us there where we would have never consented to go.
panic. it creeps up the spine like the rst rising vibes of an acid frenzy. the haunting chill upon your neck. there is a sound intensity makes while echoing through the body, the epinephrine pumping through the jugular vein, voices from unknown origin, the blood throbbing through the numb extremities, heart palpitations, the flashing visions, cold sweat, the heavy breathing, hyperventilation, dissociation, fight-or-flight. honzo gives us a vision of what it means to truly be in a world of terror and angst and in the secret bloodlit dark behind our eyes we enjoy the cathartic abreaction this brings us.

one of the rarest funk 45s in existence and the rarest 45 on ellis taylor s forte label flipped with a previously unreleased acetate (has a little bit of background noise but what you gonna do when there is only one copy in the world, we did out best to make it sound good and it does). both tracks are stone cold deepfunk killers. super black is from the tapes and sounds amazing (better than the original) so go destroy a club with this.

back to back 70s roots shots from joe morgan, his first and second ever tunes. while many know joe from his wackie s anthem basement session, joe was already producing himself in the mid 70s on his own afro black label in jamaica before coming to nyc. both of these tunes are stone cold classics long hunted by roots collectors, and the rhythms used should be familiar to astute listeners from other brilliant cuts. joe continued to record and produce himself and other artists on his own main imprint fish tea, and other labels label thru the 80s. the two tunes issued on this fish tea 12inch both originally appeared as afro black label 45 s in jamaica, and the b-side also on a pet shop label 45 in nyc

mike clark, detroit beatdown founder and former ur operative agent x, gives some love to weather report s wonderful river people. there are two versions on this translucent green 12inch. the beatdown rework and the house mix. both are stone-cold bombs. jaco pastorius awesome bass line and joe zawinul s cascading synths primed for the dance floor. mike has done an amazing job on a modern jazz classic. don t sleep on this. vinyl only. limited to 500.

curses launches a new imprint under safer at night focusing on all things dark and slow. ombra international is a vinyl only series inviting artists from different cities from around the globe to contribute their rock & roll/post-punk influenced slo-mo disco and cold wave sonics. ombra intl 002 is a 4 tracker bringing together cannibal ink (madrid), dawn again (sydney), k-effect (toledo), and curses (berlin).

wild is the most complete musical work by nuage up to date. following a thought-out plan from beginning to finish, with a real introduction, development, and conclusion, the album is influenced foremost by the sun, sea and tropics. the music slowly evolves from warm and uplifting songs towards colder and more mysterious realms. . taking a full year to finish the album, including the entire change of season from summer to winter, memories of trips to mexico, the mountains, and the seaside fade away and are replaced by days at home and in the studio in cold st. petersburg. at the same time the music itself goes through a very personal development from outgoing moments to parts of personal reflection. without adding too much weight or philosophy to the music, the album is an easy and natural listening experience that explores contrasting and at times contradicting themes between summer and winter, cold and warm, introverted and extroverted and many layers in between, while also harmonizing the musical past, present and future of nuage.

albuquerque s plastik people continues to be the leading bastion for hard swinging garage house in the deep south. this time label boss marc cotterell has linked up with dominic balchin as tuff vibes to bring the classically informed heat to the people who just cant get enough of that warm, soulful sound. leave me cold does the absolute opposite of its title thanks to the oodles of piano, organ and more melodic flexing besides. jazzy 99 is a more accurate guide with its sassy sax licks and vibing chords, and then rhythm of the vibe pushes the tempo up for a purely dancefloor minded workout.

you re alone and you close your eyes. don’t imagine figures of light, make the darkness conscious. it becomes deeper, not eyelids anymore, and then something is around you, but you can’t open your eyes, you’re deep inside them. merge into oneness, not bright above not dark below. something with has no echo. waves and motion, not space and time. if a tree falls in a forest where no one is listening, does it make a sound? there are no signs in the snow. why this dream of something cold? the world is blue at its edges, the colour of that which can never be possessed. blue flames, deep ice, twilight. how do you observe yourself without knowing that you’re looking? the other side of your face. why don’t you let the gap be a gap? i was afraid there was too much space. when you stop focusing the image appears. everything seen at once. turn yourself into a point to get behind the surface. a messenger between two worlds. the hidden meaning behind alchemy: to be born again. you’re not born into this world but out of it. travel by heat, words are too slow. sound knows how to get around edges, wiser than light.

alek stark is responsible for some of the finest boutique vinyl releases available. his 808 boxes, dmx drum machine replica and plexi-glass sleeves for fundamental records are legendary in the electro fraternity. starks attention to detail in everything he does is particularly apparent in his music - his tracks are all first class analogue electro. he pulls no punches on this e.p. with heavy 808 percussion alongside a myriad of modular noise and synth workouts. cold, robotic and reminiscent of early psyche / bfc with deep chorused pads creating an off-world dystopian theme that runs throughout this release

after the lost tapes, the found tapes and the hidden tapes, electronic emergencies releases the closet tapes - a compilation of queer electronic music on pink vinyl. spacemaker and leather e have rounded up an unorthodox and fierce combination of queer legends, contemporary queer heroes and future queer stars. these include andy butler from hercules & love affair, eddy de clercq, bezier from the honey soundsystem and hard ton together with our own popsimonova. we are proud to be queer and this is what we love.

finnish techno icon mono junk aka kim rapatti joins forces with berlin based freestyle man aka klas sasse lindblad, known for his productions on classic labels like sähkö and moodmusic. pata ep starts with the hard hitting techno title ‘not a love story’, haunting vocals, simple synthline, slicing percussion and deep bassdrum, all u need to make an effect, this must be heard in a big sound system. following with ‘need your lovin’ the ep takes a more electro approach, mesmerising love story with jupiter-8 bassline and 808 beats accompanied with vocals on this track too by mr rapatti. the ep ends with ‘stella polaris’, a production which started as a jam in 2007 in berlin at sasse’s blackhead studios and was finished 10 years later in 2017 in the same location. reminiscing of early 90s electronica time when everything was pure and gold and when these fellows also were starting their careers. ‘stella polaris’ leaves no one cold with emotional themes of analog synthesis and depth of the bass.

the fourth hotflush release of 2017 comes from minneapolis-based dj and producer, tml. he made his debut in 2014 with one inch of water, an album in cassette form via always human tapes. his style takes cues from the bass and jungle halcyon days of yore, yet in his hands these influences are pestled into anything but nostalgia. no memory looks forward to a place where pigeonholes don’t exist, where past, present and future boil an amalgamated stew, where ‘experimental’ and ‘clubby’ aren’t effective antonyms. it’s an album in miniature - six tracks spanning a broad range. the unmistakable taste of jungle pervades side a, becoming increasingly less abstract as it goes: from the fractured opening of ‘face pads’, through the dub of ‘cold sleep’, to the sunrise head bang that is ‘crying’. side two moves inside. it’s darker there. the tunes - ’strainer’, ‘rhu’ and ‘code library’ - share a paredbackness. their beats look askance as they shuffle big and bold.
