nie klangen dark sky smoothier als auf rainkist, einer modernen soul-ballade mit genialer bassline, melodischer eleganz und verschleierten falsettvocals, aus der schweiß und sex triefen. anders die remixer: der trevino remix mit seinen scifi-synths, electro-snares und claps ist ein slowburner für den behutsamen aufbau. marcel dettmann wiederum streckt das spannungsgeladene intro mit hämmerndem subbass und sehnsüchtigen vocals zu einem pumpenden techno-track aus, der bei 3:30 minuten droppt, um sich dann in einen absoluten dancefloor-filler zu verwandeln, der beste chancen hat die remixpolls in 2014 ordentlich aufzumischen.

with mind sets, clr artist rebekah is introducing a new format on the imprint, consisting of an hour and a half mix and two subsequent ep samplers for release. while the eps in the series contain pretty straightforward techno tracks by artists she admires, the compilation mix from the prolific dj/producer known for her thunderous and relentless techno beats shows a more experimental side of her musical spectrum

one of las smartest young voices says the la times…which the artist suspects, may just be a covert way of saying la is dumb. “open” mike eagle wouldnt terribly mind, being born and raised in chicago where the painful winters and his uppity grandparents kept him inside as a youth. he spent his formative years watching alternative music happen on mtv and hoping to one day be able to audition for the native tongues. as a young adult after graduating with a degree in psychology, he did the next best thing and moved to los angeles, joining the project blowed collective where he made music and toured with busdriver, aceyalone, abstract, nocando, and more. he has also gained notoriety in the world of comedy by being invited by professional funny people (paul f. tompkins, hannibal buress, matt besser/ucb) to rap at their shows. he would like to be raps kurt vonnegut but recognizes that he would first have to create something as iconic as the four-stroke illustration of an anus. he practices by releasing rap albums that delight, entertain, and confuse.

accompany the reissue of woo s into the heart of love, emotional rescue is releasing a limited 7inch featuring songs not included on the vinyl pressing, plus a previously unreleased version of the beautiful title song, which only appeared in later form on their cd only, la luna album. with the original into the heart of love album only appearing as a 60 minute cassette-only release, several of the albums songs could not make the first time vinyl issue from emotional rescue. therefore, this limited edition 7inch includes two of those ommited songs. the wistful english folk duet between mark ives and sue amor on make me tea and it s sibling on the album, a little long way. possibly woo s most straight forward folk song, make me tea is as the title imagines a very particular english poem. recording as a duet between two late night lovers, awaking from post-love making slumber to find peace and with it, a nice, perfect cup of tea. however, it is the inclusion of the unreleased version of the title song, magic in the dark that is worth the admission price alone. taken from the cd only album, la luna, the original s short and gentle story of late night love is presented here in it s alternate demo form. a different vantage point is shown in revelation and then exhaltation. the sadder start expands in to a beautiful and wonderus folk celebration. mark s vocals and guitar are later joined by gentle rhythmic percussion from brother clive, before clarinets duet to a yearning finale. woo once again showing their unique mix of folk and new age electronics. a one off to cherish.

trickreich und zartfühlend zugleich, klingt es wesentlich endorphin-geschwängerter als die bis jetzt veröffentlichten singles. das mag zunächst verwirrend sein, aber die Überraschung gelingt. die reise, die dark sky zurück gelegt haben, muss von extremem musikkonsum begleitet gewesen sein. das album evoziert bilder eines erwachsenwerdens durch sound. vor allem eine musikalische dekade hat dark sky beeinflusst, die 90er und all die vielen musikrichtungen, die damals wiederentdeckt worden sind finden sich auch auf imagin wieder. funk, bossa nova, eine ganze menge triphop, aber auch post-rock, ambient, balearic-house und 80ies pop alles geschüttelt und gerührt und in einem post-dubstep cocktailglas serviert. eiskalt selbstverständlich

die single zum debütalbum von dark sky featured zwei killerhits: -odyssey- ist ein electro- swagger, der in den großen clubs und auf open air festivals diesen sommer ordentlich einheizen wird. die metallische bassline und die euphorischen scifi-stabs klingen nach präzisions-geheimwaffe. ein must-have-tool für jeden electro-, house- oder uk-bass-dj. -silent fall- gibt sich introvertier zwischen james blake und moderat. der subtilere ansatz dieses tracks beschwört verschwitzte sonnenaufgänge und sich langsam anbahnende serotonin ausschüttungen. get it.

nb records move into the next chapter of its label history, label founder and techno pioneer from austria, nicolas bacher, has teamed up with ayden dark - producer and resident dj at unleashed, amsterdam. on remix business there is another promising collaboration from bodyscrub and pascal nuzzo, as well as marco piangiamore delivering his very own interpretation.

if youve been even the most casual participant in or observer of the nyc dance music and club scene over the past decade, youve most definitely encountered luca venezia, a.k.a. curses, who once was better known as drop the lime, a central figure in the trouble & bass crew. where dtl was all stripped and chewed dubstep and grime, curses is clearly of a house bent, albeit one thats been cut with plenty of heavy bass, breakbeat-leaning drums, and a frantic energy that one wouldnt find on classic chicago 12inches.

7 years after the last zhark vinyl release, heavyweight techno nihilist & labelhead kareem opens up another chapter of advanced technoid noizcore with his 11th full length ep on zhark. after a few years of silence kareem had just reemerged with releases on foundation sonore (fs 01), porto ronco on death of rave or mesmer on zhark digital but is now threatening to inspire more uncompromising percussive hostility. let this just be the beginning: whereas side a emphasis on a very distinguished dance floor groove concept of machine funk embedded in metal layers side b leaves room for a less formatted approach building up tension which is leading to a free firezone of depravity. while methodic differentiations can be discovered on each side, the listener is continously confrontated with haunting sonic extremism.

catalognumber 23 – what else is to say? while we are feeling the spirit of william s. burroughs blessing this very vinyl-enigma, &me went particularly mysterious ways to transcend the category - dance track - for this one. the meditation through bass had been the major discipline of some of his latest cuts, but what you will find on this a-side, one could certainly call the perfection of somnambulistic peaktime-fever. the way he is kneading the lower frequencies, how he is channeling the expansion and decay of bass must inevitably lead to some aroused moaning. good vocal-selection, for that matter! then there are those tension building synths and a staccato-frenzy in the break that might be the ultimate ecstasy-trigger of the season. * locust* on b comes in with some smoothly looped e-guitar-coolness, adding whispering hi-hats and a comparatively rich percussive architecture. but then again: rolling bass barrels like a signature and a defence breaking build up thats ensued by liberating pressure compensation in mighty breaks. two demonstrations of understated and sophisticated peaktime-emphasis, so to say. or differently put: a flawless double-a-side.

killer ep of hypnotic late-night techno from the rapidly maturing dark arts imprint. the brooding * point blank* kicks things off, combining twisted low end darkness with eerie orchestral stabs and immense claps – a darkly elegant opening. next up, * panic* is an essential joint, riding in on a tightly-controlled broken rhythm before a unique, string-heavy motif provides the intrigue. side 2 opens with the tensile funk of * downstream* – a sleek, driving dancefloor offering to get lost in, with space-aged atmospherics and bristling percussion sitting astride a tunnelling techno groove. finally the motorik * ricochet* combines submerged dub textures with slinky synth work – a strong closing statement for this towering record. tip! with support from the likes of dvs1, nd_baumecker, answer code request and alex do, dark arts is becoming an essential label.

that dope loop pinning down sascha dive as cocoons deephouse wunderkind wouldnt really hit the nail on the head however it isnt far from truth. compared to most other artists of this genre he can for sure be classified as a young gun but there is no soundproof for his age in his music at all.

the central executives what can we say ? not much as it turns out - the generally very forthcoming golf channel crew are remaining tight-lipped about the architects of this, frankly mind-blowing debut long-player from this new nyc collective. a walk in the dark is exactly that, a situationist song-sheet & sonic chaperone to guide us through the back street escapism these troubled times demand. from gently over-driven punk funkin mascara stained hymns, to house that has been thoroughly smudged to the edges of its live music incorporating limits. sitting very comfortably, in a moment of stewed elevation alongside sound signature style machine jams, bare bones vocal led improvisations, discordant arthur russell moments & the distorted reflections of roots house that run to the very core of the big apple. a drop-jaw debut then, that wears its influences proudly, but takes them somewhere entirely new.

limited edition of 300 numbered copies on transparent, orange coloured vinyl.
