extraordinary pieces of music have long stood in direct correlation to the physical surroundings that inspire them. when oliver koletzki and niko schwind packed up their berlin studios last april to spend a month locked away in a cottage nestled in the stunning nature of cape towns noordhoek area before heading to afrikaburn, little did they know that its long beaches, dramatic mountain views and the heritage of its indigenous people would have such a profound effect on the club-ready sound they had championed with a string of eps and live-performances since 2015. the result of four weeks of geo-cultural stimuli and creative experimentation culminated in the album noordhoek, released in may 2018 on stil vor talent. while the productions on noordhoek display the same on-point sound design of previous oliver koletzki and niko schwind releases, the impressive emotional depth and electronic floor-focus of its twelve tracks effortlessly merge with complex rhythmic textures to form a contemporary narrative on ancient dance rituals. after a roller coaster ride through twelve versatile yet coherent productions, one thing is certain as the ultimate crack of thunder crashes down on noordhoek: south africa fuelled the creative energy of two remarkable musicians, who where able to translate the abundance of their impressions into a truly original world of sound.

in the mid 90s, while playing in bands, max wŸrden started to record ideas on 4-track tapes. amongst other instruments the guitar was his favourite. since then the guitar is a steady constant during his sound production. predominantly he utilizes the intrument in experimental ways: he sticks screws and metal pieces between the strings or let s marbles run down the guitar neck, triggering a feedback, which becomes the foundation of a track. on his album momentum he went beyond the guitar, but he placed the intrument into focus of the production. max creates energyladen and experimental ambient music that always aims for what genre listeners looking for: the ultimate relaxation moment. the tracks are carried by slowly building string-generated sounds. live recordings and complex arrangements find a delicate symbiosis of ambient and strings.

for their first multi-artist compilation, music from memory take us on a trip to the heart of the amazon rainforest. outro tempo: electronic and contemporary music from brazil, 1978-1992 is a double lp that explores the outer reaches of brazilian music, where indigenous rhythms mix with synthesizers and where mpb mingles with drum computers. as brazil faced the last years of its military dictatorship and transition to democracy, a generation of forward-thinking musicians developed an alternative vision of brazilian music and culture. they embraced traditionally shunned electronic production methods and infused their music with elements of ambient, jazz-fusion, and minimalism. at the same time they referenced the musical forms and spirituality of indigenous tribes from the amazon. the music they produced was a complex and mesmerising tapestry that vividly evoked brazilian landscapes and simultaneously reached out to the world beyond its borders.

recognition opens up its archives and invites to a futuristic sentimental journey with respective stages set by the 9702. album contains a set of varied tracks recorded within five years after warsaw labels launch and its first release. extended compositions and short improvised sound notes resemble eccentric propositions of such labels as (early) warp or rephlex, standing next to melancholy-saturated minimalistic techno and abstract collage structures which prove out to share many characteristics of clicks n cuts movement of the second half of the 1990s. usage of human voice samples is an outstanding feature of many of these archive materials. entirety of mastered-anew content encompassing both records, contains all principal trademarks which distinguish jacek sienkiewiczs creations and his label recognition - utmost care about depth of sound sphere, experimental inclinations and focus on complex motoric aspect of the rhythmical base. this collection of music from recognitionÕs first five years, surprising for its freshness and sheer impetus, is a must for all fans of jacek sienkiewicz and polish electronic music of the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. in connection with publication of yet-unheard tracks, jacek shares another slice of yet-unknown artistic vision, connecting sound with other media such as image, light and movement. recognition xx audio-video performance comes out in summer as a result of this retrospective look.

the latest work from florian hecker a script for machine synthesis is an experimental auditory drama and a model of abstraction. a script for machine synthesis presents a complex simplicity that spirals in an unending manner as an audio image of the uncanny valley. it is the third chapter in the trilogy of text-sound pieces hecker has collaborated with the philosopher reza negarestani. a resynthesized voice outlines procedure as procedure itself unfolds. the suggestive encounter with a pink ice cube is a conceptual point of departure for a scene in which linguistic chimeras of descriptors are materialized through synthetic trophies, mental props and auditory objects. hecker presents a synthesis of the gap in the valley which we almost know. the motifs hecker has staged in the last decade, the text, the sound, the scent, the obelisk, the demon, the self, the other all appear throughout in a thorough, rigid and formal exploration. exeunt all human actors, a script for machine synthesis is an experiment in putting synthetic emptiness back into synthetic thought.

peripheral minimal is proud to announce the forthcoming album, aus den anti-imperialistischen tagebu&#776,,,chern , by in namen des volkes. indv is the brainchild of hamburg resident matthias schuster (also of bal pare, das institut,geisterfahrer and others), and creates a more heavy-weight style of minimal synth in the spirit of d.a.f., or even early front 242. the tracks were taken directly off cassettes and reworked with added vocals, whilst maintaining the original 80s recording techniques of 4-track and purely analogue instrumentation, strictly no plug-ins or digitalism here! matthias has been actively producing complex synthetic sounds since the late 1970s, having released seminal albums and singles on respected labels such as, plastic frog, minimal wave and medical records. his passion for all things analogue seems to be irrepressible, devoting a considerable amount of time to myriad projects each with their own unique qualities and sonics. he musically switches from neue deutsche welle stylings, to minimal synth and proto-ebm with great dexterity and a rare continuing dedication. the album is presented in a luxurious digipak and limited to 300 copies. recorded between 1980 - 2015. artwork by kilgore trout.

2methyls first full length album is both a feast for the dancefloor and an example of creativity. following the orb ep, layer8 is a hard, fast album of futuristic dark drum n bass. but it is also an example of how to bring this genre forward while staying true to its energy. very complex and detailed, the nine tracks of this album play with the rules of modern days drum n bass and burst out of their restraints, resulting in an album whose horizon is beyond the dancefloor and which impresses by its magnitude and originality.

jacek sienkiewicz is back. drifting is the artistÕs 5th full-length release and the second one on his warsaw-based label recognition since 1999. his records were played and strongly supported by renowned artists such as sven vŠth and richie hawtin, legendary producers like ricardo villalobos, uwe schmidt and recently, max loderbauer collaborated with jacek. drifting takes its listener on a complex but still accessible journey to a state-of-the-art techno territory where carl craig melodies coexist with stark minimalism of robert hood, but they serve only as entry points for further exploration

with *my love is a bulldozer*, venetian snares first new album since 2010s *my so-called life*, aaron funk surprises yet again, drawing on new ideas and on moods that have only been touched upon in his previous work. the album seems to have a flowing sense of narrative, something akin to an opera, and unusually aaron sings songs on it, which reinforces the sense of an emotional journey. sonically he meshes together sometimes thunderous yet complex drum programming with delicate musical structures, creating, in places, a sense of haunted, atmospheric jazziness, as well as spiky autumnal strings recalling the gothic orchestral beauty of his previous work.

man is a rope is not a band but rather a process developed by new york songwriter / producer / artist, evan t. q. kreeger. using live instrumental and vocal performances with analog effects to make electronic hybrid music rather than employing virtuals, loops or samples, man is a rope creates its own unique dark dynamics and complex churns which invoke elements from no wave, early mute/4ad, rowland s. howard, the cabs, detroit / birmingham techno, a certain ratio, the swans, coil, 70s crimson, and film music. these works are composed in parallel with video treatments and storyboard development. from conception, audio is forever bonded to its symbiotic images.

hardcore is not a trend but a lifestyle. the genre that once has grown in the netherlands, has also proven to survive in the underground when the hype in the late 90s seemed to be over. the ultimate hardcore collection proves that in this music genre there is still enough development and that the majority of dutch artists are still leading. the ultimate hardcore collection volume 2 compiles the freshest and most important records at the moment on two cd mixes. to make a long story short: for those who find hard not hard enough, this is the cd that you really must have!

the yearly summit of keiji haino, jim o rourke and oren ambarchi continues with imikuzushi, which finds the group extending the power-trio strategies of last years highly praised in a flash everything comes together as one there is no need for a subject (bt05) and bringing to them a newly sustained intensity. for this performance, haino limits himself to electric guitar and vocals, forming complex networks of slashing rhythm work, noise squall and chromatic shredding, moving at times to near-silent passages of howled vocals and isolated, hanging guitar strums. the tendency towards driving free-rock which surfaced on moments of the trios last release is cemented here, with o rourkes fuzzed-out, non-linear bass riffing moving the music into almost garage-rock areas, combining with ambarchis drums to form a bedrock of hypnotic, metronomic pounding which transforms itself effortlessly into passages of flowing free-time. like all of hainos best work, the trio transcends any rock genre exercise to enter a non-idiomatic zone of ritual intensity, creating a music formed purely out of instrumental and group-mind possibility. presented as four unedited excerpts salvaged from an epic show that lasted well over three hours, the sometimes raw nature of the recording only adds to its directness and harshly emotive quality. francis plagne, melbourne, nov, 2011 released as a 6 panel digipak cd and as a limited edition double lp in a lavish gatefold with printed inner sleeves. design by stephen o malley with high quality live shots by ujin matsuo and stunning images by tokyo based photographer and sound artist shunichiro okad

the story of skint & demoralised is too long and complex to go into here, but suffice to say it was quite a surprise to see a new release from skint & demoralised, let alone the bonus inclusion of the long shelved debut. made up of poet matt abbott and producer mini dog, skint & demoraliseds songs revolve around teenage pursuits like getting high, getting the girl and getting pissed as well tackling social issues like unemployment and alcoholism.

tom thiels self titled debut album out now!!! wide melody lines, soft, complex beats or direct, simple beats: the tracks speak a timeless language and thus represent the most modern side of electronic music. a musical director and his audio cinema, way beyond hollywood or worse - new german cinema.

hectic times require adequate measures. shorten the text message, shorten any url, filter a newsfeed to make a broadband broader - in any way, take a shortcut wherever you intend to go. while the world is struggling for convenience, those who chose the road less travelled will soon become - or already are? - outsiders. in many ways this is the case of jacek sienkiewicz - with over 30 releases behind, and over a decade of running his own label, he persistently followed his very own path, creating music that very soon began to be impossible to define. friendly, but not fraternizing with everyone and his family, modest, but stubborn only in a positive way, jacek is an individual with clear, personal vision and an unorthodox approach to music - light years away from the hectic, utilitarian ethos of club-derived electronic beats. and this story finally took shape - at the same time rock solid and otherworldly ethereal - in the form of “on the road , without any doubt one of the few rare records, this complex and challenging, to be derived in recent years from the music formerly known as techno. this album successfully attempts to embrace virtually all aspects of modern electronic music - from rave-like club bangers, through detroitish passion and deep house-like style, towards ambient soundscapes that are mariana trench deep
