redshape returns to his own label with a retrovisionist release that looks back in time as much as it looks forward to the future. revving up on the a side is shift, a propulsive hurtle to the final frontiers. starting off ominously with just drums, bass and a pollock splatter of toms, the track is soon overrun by an army of relentlessly running basslines, let loose to steer in and out like searching headlights on a dark and endless highway. with a heavier kick, the track shifts into top gear with pensive pads soaring overhead, mesmerising squeaks and his signature attention to percussive detail. on the flip is drive, which switches gears down a notch as an astrospace cruise along intergalactic coastlines - from summery california to shiny coruscant. a rounded pounding beat with heavy sub bass bounces along to a breezy tropical melody and spacious percussive work, before riding off into a cinematic sunset that is as nostalgic as it is hopeful of the c oming dawn. once again on the edge of spatial sound but grounded in analog warmth, redshape has presented a revision of classic record productions that truly punches as it is meant to be felt and heard - on wax. recommended!

sport 1000 debut release, its origins remaining in the murky shadows of anonymity for now. while drenched in sounds spanning back to early jungle and hardcore, these tunes are crafted with a sense for modern tastes, ready to flip the vibe in a brave dj s 4/4-set. -dream support- bopps along nicely with warm chords and a skippy breakbeat, until the bottom end opens up with a big reese-workout and suddenly you re down at the blue note in 1996, filtered mentasm-samples and all. -dawn queen- follows a similar path, it s chugging breakbeat slowly getting friskier with some tasty amen-cuts.

according to numerology the number five is the most energetic and dynamic of all the single numbers. allow this to be one of your defining expectations when you start listening to * 5 *, the debut album from parisian maestro djebali. the number not only marks the number of years that have passed since his label was conceived, but also represents the months it took to complete his very first long -player. this is an important milestone in any artist’s career, the first time they have the opportunity to create something timeless – a culmination of all of their experiences so far, and a statement about where they are, and where they’re going.

to wrap up 2016, true romance unleashes one more disco stunner. this time the fabulous three tracks 12 comes from the classically trained yet funky to the bone: phil gerus. the russian producer has been a rising force of the modern disco movement with releases on futureboogie, sonar kollektiv, thugboat edits to name a few. the make time ep, his first offering on true romance, confirms gerus is here to stay. the a side, she is wearing her black boots again, is meant to played very loud and very late in a dark smoke-filled room. its a raw thumper with a thick post-disco bass line, robotic italo synth, dreamy chopped up vocals all layered with catchy mysterious chords. the flipside starts with the irresistible make time, a groovy number with loopy funk guitars, soulful vocals and infectious keys that will stick to you like glue. for the grande finale, gerus serves us detective from kamakura: a gritty electronic funk track with banging percussions and delirious moans that will keep you awake until the break of dawn.

octave one announce new album love by machine a year after their impressive last album burn it down, detroit techno legends octave one are back with a nine track double ep that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves. entitled love by machine, the albums name is a nod to the fact that the burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. that is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the 80s, most often releasing on their own 430 west label, which is where they appear again here. say lenny: weve been exploring the theme of connection with this project. how technology gives us the illusion that we are closer to each other more than ever. at some point humanity crossed a line where the devices that we created to bring us together are the same devices that are blocking us from organic experiences.

auf ulrich schnauss 5tem studio-album “no further ahead than today” regieren einmal mehr die elektronisch eingespielten ambient-pop-hymnen, die längst zu seinem markenzeichen geworden sind. diese sollten fans von künstlern wie jon hopkins und brian eno interessieren. schnauss selbst ist umtriebig - seit 2014 ist er keyboarder bei tangerine dream, produziert unter eigenem namen remixes für pop-künstler wie depeche mode, pet shop boys, todd terje und bryan ferry und hat gerade für die decca-compilation “re:works” bachs “prelude in c” neu in szene gesetzt.
“no further ahead than today” ist klar mehr pop als ambient. starke melodien stehen im vordergrund, die stücke sind mit rhythmen unterlegt, zuweilen gar mit gesang begleitet, eine hymnische note ist immer präsent. spätestens seit seinen beiden solo-alben, die bei dem deutschen label city center offices erschienen, gilt schnauss als ein elektroniker, der manche tugenden des britischen indie-shoegaze-sounds auf seine klangvorstellungen überträgt.

stewarts jüngstes werk entstand anfang 2016 in einem zeitraum von vier monaten, “in einer zeit, in der sich einiges in meinem leben veränderte. ich zog in eine neue stadt, quasi von einer küste zur anderen, hielt um die hand meiner traumfrau an, bezog ein neues haus, kaufte mir einen neuen rechner und begann, ein neues album zu schreiben”. doch abgesehen von diesen persönlichen veränderungen, konnte stewart durch den umzug nach kalifornien auch wieder seinem langgehegten interesse nach -new-age-konzepten- nachgehen, was sich im ganzen album widerspiegelt. die lange liste der features auf diesem album beinhaltet nicht nur beyonce-kollaborateur melo-x, rihanna-kollaborateur kevin hussein, sondern auch eine reihe an neuen talenten der us-szene wie dawn, tosin abasi, ruckazoid, roses gabor oder sk simeon.

welcome to the rocksteady sound from jamaica. towards the end of 1965 some say due to the extreme heatwave that was hitting the island the people that followed the sound system dances demanded a slower beat so they could still move and groove to the all night musical night affairs. so the jerky ska swing was slowed down to a steady beat that also allowed the songs cut at this time to shine throgh. so sit back and enjoy the tunes that rocked this islands between 1966-1968 the rocksteady sound that hit that town..

the first place the world heard the lead track from this new love notes from brooklyn release, where pathways meet, was on deep house legend mike huckaby s my life with the wave show volume 2. pascal viscardi was one of many great artists to take huckaby s warm tones and turn them into a work of art. pathways. wriggles with deep funk and soul, and is paired with 3 other likeminded tracks for this very well-rounded ep. oshakusan is the dancefloor track, juxtaposing warm chords and an insistent sax sample over the a tough bassline and rhythm combination that s aimed staight at the floor. free at dawn is the fathoms deep effort, going miles below the surface in a emotional expression of soul, and and i showed the clouds (how to cover up a clear blue sky) provides a perfect outtro, and end to the statement made, making this ep feel truly complete.
