dark entries present -a tape-, a double lpof early work by helena hauff, a dj and record producer based in hamburg, germany. at university she studied fine art, physics, and systematic music science. she previously was a resident at hamburg s golden pudel club, where she hosted a night called birds and other instruments. as a selector she weaves energetically between electro, new wave, and ebm. her music, often recorded live in one take, has a raw intensity to it. she debuted with an ep on werkdiscs back in 2013 followed by records for lux_rec and bunker sublabel panzerkreuz as well as two collaborative eps for pan, produced under the name black sites with fellow pudel resident f#x. ‘a tape’ is a compilation of helena’s earliest recordings from 2011 and 2014, originally released on limited cassette by handmade birds in 2015. clocking in at over 50 minutes, this collection spans hauff’s musical universe, from jacking acid-techno to krautish zone-outs and scuzzy feedback interludes. it’s tempting to consider it helena’s debut album, but she views these tracks as mostly forgotten sketches left on the cutting room floor. it a gripping collection of deep, sinister analog synth sequences, industrial dissonance, and heavy percussion. her equipment set up was a roland alpha juno 2, juno 60, tb-303, tr-707 and tr-808. both of the discs end with hauff stepping outside of the intentionally stiff, robotic rhythms, instead showing her skill at crafting less conventional electronic sounds. all songs have been mastered by james plotkin with vinyl eq and lacquer cut by george horn at fantasy studios in berkeley. the record is housed in a custom made jacket designed by eloise leigh, featuring a checkered graphic and black lines, highlighted by yellow and green for maximum visual tension. each copy includes a double-sided postcard with notes.

3 teens kill 4 was born in the summer of 1980 in the east village of new york city. they took their name from a new york post headline. the group consisted of doug bressler, brian butterick, julie hair, jesse hultberg, david wojnarowicz. there was a conscious decision not to have a front person or lead singer. david made cassette tapes with voices and sounds that he held up close to a microphone, fast-forwarding and rewinding. julie tried different rhythms on a korg rhythm machine. brian played a casio drum machine and jesse was on bass. doug joined the group in time to make the debut album. he was a music lover who understood how to avoid covering over the band’s non-musicality. their debut 7-song mini-album “no motive” was recorded in fall 1982 and self-released in 1983.

rich la bonte is a musician, writer and editor from upstate new york born in 1946. at age 11 he figured out how to record a piano backwards with his first tape deck and discovered monk, mingus and art blakey. in 1965 rich moved to ithaca, bought an electric guitar and started singing in garage rock band the huns. after the band dissolved, he moved to nyc and played bass and sang in the original cast production of the musical godspell. in the late 70s la bonte moved to hollywood with shari famous, released a a few 7” singles as dada2, and started flatdisk records, a vinyl subsidiary of dave gibson s moxie record company.

pristine sci-fi manoeuvres across 4 killer tracks. dark hypnotic electro ( radius ) leads us into the reverb soaked space-house jack of further out . flip for the classic tech funk groove of blueshift before closing with the remarkable final orbit , widescreen dub sonics with a sideways glance at the artcore days of dnb. essential stuff from dark arts.

galaxies in our universe seem to be achieving an impossible feat. they are rotating with such speed that the gravity generated by their observable matter could not possibly hold them together, they should have torn themselves apart long ago. this leads us to believe that something we cannot see is at work. this strange and unknown matter is called “dark matter” since it is not visible.
dark matter affects the speed, structure and evolution of everything, yet its nature remains a mystery we are yet to explore. this potent, affecting darkness is paralleled in dewalta s newest creation, a double 12“ vinyl release on amphia.

dark sky schieben zum frisch veröffentlichten zweiten album gleich die nächste single hinterher. mit seiner emotional aufgeladenen deepness und einem füllig-fordernden techno-unterbau führt the passenger viele dinge zusammen, die othona so besonders machen. auf der b-seite weiß roman flügel mit seiner ganzen erfahrung, was es bei the walker braucht, um aus dem albumtrack eine euphorie-schleuder zu machen. und die hochtourige und trotzdem verträumte live-version von angel ist schließlich die definitive visitenkarte für dark skys live-sets.

hot creations gear up to drop the eagerly anticipated house & pressure from hot property route 94. echoing the excitement that surrounded his no.1 hit my love, which shot him to stardom, the record has been in serious demand for months. now finally ready for release he showcases his versatile skills as a producer over three heavy-weight tracks. rowan jones aka route 94 explains how he wanted to put out three tracks that were diverse yet definitive. title track house & pressure packs a real punch and contains the vocals from joey negro s classic ride the storm featuring linda clifford. the dominant female vocal on ‘house & pressure’ combined with the force of the drum machines is a traditional element that people connect to the route 94 productions. with ‘crazy bitch’ it’s a more of a big room sound, incorporating ghetto elements. ‘dark keyless’ is the complete opposite, creating a groove that aims to grab the crowd and let them loose. this year has seen a succession of big releases and remixes from route 94 that cement his place amongst the dance music elite including the recent hit mind, body & soul on crosstown rebels. the talented producer first saw fame reaching no.1 in the uk charts with my love featuring jess glynne. keen to remain on the underground scene, he followed with releases and remixes on leftroom, defected and hot creations. overwhelming success followed as he performed at the likes of fabric, sub club, space, ushuaia, dc10 and many more. with a wealth of new material still on the way and a hectic touring schedule in place, its clear this is only the start for the young artist.

thomas leer is an innovative electronic musician from port glasgow, scotland. he began singing for a local band at age 13, and was writing his own music by 18. by 1977, he had moved to london, where he fronted pressure, a clash­-esque punk group with fellow experimental scottish musician robert rental. after hearing kraftwerk, leer became interested in synthesizers – not long after, he was exploring the experimental techniques of eno, zappa, beefheart, faust, and can. in 1978, thomas released his first single, private plane / international , on his own oblique records that we reissued in 2015. 1979 is a 14-song collection spread across two pieces of vinyl clocking in at 70 minutes. leer says, 1979 was a great year for making music.

dark sky stehen für weiterentwicklung. nie hat sich das londoner duo auf einen sound festgelegt oder in einer nische ausgeruht. was alle ihre gefeierten veröffentlichungen eint, ist eine leidenschaft für fast alle formen von elektronischer musik auch neben dem dancefloor und ein brillantes technisches handwerk. das bleibt auch auf -othona- so, dem zweiten album von dark sky für monkeytown records. auf neun tracks erfinden sich matt benyayer und tom edwards wieder ein bisschen neu und verknüpfen modernen techno, klassische electronica und ihre britischen bassmusik-wurzeln zu einem berührenden und absolut eigenwilligen ganzen.

dark entries presents all four mixes of transdance by night moves as a tribute dedicated to the lives lost in the oakland ghost ship fire on december 2, 2016. night moves was the brainchild of michael guihen, from south london. inspired by seeing tubeway army perform on top of the pops in 1979 he placed an ad to form a synth-based band in the nme. in november 1980 he was introduced to denis haines, formerly gary numans keyboardist on the telekon album. denis and michael worked closely together, writing a number of backing tracks. one of these was the farewell song from gary numan to his band tubeway army, love needs no disguise. in exchange for this backing track, denis gave michael the studio time needed to develop transdance

the arms of someone new fearlessly mix genres without sacrificing the unity of their vision. “’susan sleepwalking’ could as well be retitled ‘music for interiors’ - both architectural and of the mind” - the michigan daily 1985. all songs have been remastered for vinyl by george horn at fantasy studios in berkeley. housed in the original jacket featuring a blood red-tinted photograph with ghostly textures. each copy includes a 2-sided 11” square insert with lyrics and press clippings from the band’s archive.

beranek’s debut album, “sound of danger”, was released on mind expanding records in november 1981. nowhere near as accessible as the previous single, the album fared poorly commercially. withdrawing from the single’s fun, kitsch pop, the album is cool and static, driven by thin rhythm boxes, cold synths, and glacial guitars. taking heavy cues from david bowie, all of the songs are sung in a nasally english accent, a rare occurrence in norway at the time. the lyrics are melancholic, but tinged with paranoia. there are also upbeat tracks that evoke a prog or glam sensibility a la king crimson, alan parsons, or roxy music. all songs have been remastered for vinyl by george horn at fantasy studios in berkeley. housed in the original jacket featuring red, black, and white lines that evoke a visualized richter scale designed by monica moltzau. each copy includes a 2-sided 8x11” insert with lyrics and an autographed press photo of beranek.

this new edition on the everlasting tresor records catalogue marks the return of pacou, more than five years after the release of his last full ep, sense. three recently produced tracks in the true sound that defines the work of the german techno expert, meet a remix of ‘a texture’. initially released on his 1998 symbolic language album, ‘a texture’ is a distinctive interlude, so supreme that it remains a tresor favorite.

dark sky kehren mit zwei hocheffektiven techno-tracks zurück, deren finster raunende basslines klarstellen, dass das londoner duo nichts von seinen produktions-skills eingebüßt hat. -kilter- ist ein rhythmusgetriebener clubhit, dessen übergroß vibrierende bassline typisch für dark sky ist. in -acacia- verdrängen luftige flächen den bass zunächst, bis sich langsam ein beat in bewegung setzt und am ende doch wieder den laden zum wackeln bringt. dark skys erstes release seit -voyages- (2015) ist eine teilweise sehr entschiedene sache, aber auch nur ein winziger eindruck davon, was uns auf ihrem kommenden album -othona- erwartet.

there’s not a lot to tell about the project glow in the dark by a certain harry miller. only perhaps we can state that with these eight tracks at hand harry miller accomplished probably the most enchanting album of the still quite young year. just when we wanted to dismiss the short-dated genre of chillwave wistfully, “future bliss” comes along with a bewitching sound hailing from an optimistic but cranky future. already the opening track “step one” with its vocal samples and its spoken word intro is futuristic soul full of affirmation of life pillowed on a synth bedding smoothed to the max up to its edges. but also the following seven tracks spread infectious positive vibes all around. the magic of glow in the dark’s tracks is energized mostly by miller’s delicate way of treating his various samples, a wary manner one usually only shows when picking up a guitar. and unlike sample based music feeding from hiphop his tracks are completely free from any sort of nostalgia, because all of his songs are designed for the future through and through. “future bliss” is one hell of a joy ride, from the first note to the last tone. the neon funk of “1987”, the broken beat of “7 billion = 1”, the synth pop of “the last dance” and in general, all of the eight tracks could be little, but great hymns on their own. but only in its entirety they sparkle this fathomless ingeniousness hidden in glow in the dark. in the end it seems to be wiser that one has as little background information as possible to be able to lose oneself fully in this “future bliss”.
