repress - the tone always makes the music. but only those who actually make the sound? an ancient-house-avantgarde dream has always been there since the legendary warehouse days of ron hardy, to bring more sounds and tones constantly to an independent, repetitive development. and thus beyond the limits of an executive creative artist on the otherwise purely commercial sense what we call in common beyond imagination. raw footage, the latest album concoction of chicago house legend ron trent (prescription) on his new imprint electric blue works in the best sense of stanislav lem heroes trurl & klapauciusals, cruising like those two metal brains frantically invented by the universe of 4/4-sounds to get insane tracks out of the new material matter located there, and put them together to brand new ones. this trackwerk varies as well as of course between classical chi-town to the context of contemporary, epic house dubs and lives in a perfidious manner from the interaction of various computer modules that constantly spits out new and exciting interactions. in the end, the software sings only as digital output of great analog sounds, which may well be understood as a mocking voice to the majority of contemporary homeboy wackiness format

repress - the previous 3 volume series is now compiled as a compact 2lp. the late, great j dilla is rightly celebrated as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, in part because his ear for music was so diverse and expansive. as dilla’s mother ma dukes explains, “he didn’t come with a limited capacity, and real producers produce, produce, and produce. “there are no formats for genius workers ... just non-stop creations.” now, a fresh batch of those creations will be made available to the world for the first time, in the form of the latest official j dilla release, dillatronic. presented by ma dukes and compiled by djs alien villainz (fellow detroit natives who worked closely with dilla), dillatronic contains over 40 rare instrumentals that showcase dilla’s undeniable electronic influences. j dilla’s music was impacted by the diverse musical history of detroit - the birthplace of techno and one of the most important cities in the history of electronic music. “you can hear it in songs like ‘raise it up’ for slum village or ‘make it hurt’ for busta rhymes,” says young rj (dilla’s protégé and member of slum village). “the detroit influence is part of what gave him an edge in production.” with today’s music sounding more electronic than ever, dillatronic has a shockingly contemporary feel. “these tracks are still ahead of their time sonically,” explains rj. “the things producers are doing now, dilla did that 15 years ago.”
