much-celebrated kompakt staple the field returns to the spotlight with new album the follower, his fifth full-length offering after from here we go sublime (kompakt rsd 02 cd 57), yesterday and today (kompakt 193 cd 72), looping state of mind (kompakt 241 cd 94) and cupids head (kompakt 290 cd 110). swedish soundsmith axel willner is well-known for his mastery when it comes to the allusive layering of loops, but it was with his last album cupids head that a newly-found, somewhat pressing snappishness started to replace the soft-hued sonics of his ambient-infused techno, imbued with a darker mood and stronger footing than before. a carefully gauged balance of stoic motorik and gloomy drones was key here - just as it is for the follower which goes even further in blurring the lines between concrete experimentation, body music and precisely laid-out arrangement, leading to one of the most rhythmically and texturally engaging listening experiences in willners catalogue.

from the often indistinct morass of modern hip-hop comes something so singular as to merit special attention wrote the guardian about: brownstudys tell me more about bubble album, released on third ear in 2005. a most soulfully cerebral volume of no-pose wisdom. mojo wrote, musically: brownstudy evokes the clammy, distressed soul of sly stones riot, and the lush visions of 4 hero. life well lived is brownstudys new album. 11 songs (9 lyrical flows and 2 intrumentals).

digitalism has lovingly created a mix for !k7s legendary dj-kicks series. for these two young germans, jens moelle and ismail tŸfekci, joining the ranks of contributors to the series was nothing short of a dream come true. twelve years ago, the duo met as two record store workers in hamburg, admiringly selling the dj-kicks series to their customers, and appreciating the dexterity of the mixes and range of artists who assembled each mix. their favourite contributions include tigas mix (his mix was the essence of edgy and cold electro-techno.), the playgroup mix (more really playful stuff.) and erlend oyes mix (cause he sung over a lot of stuff and had some favorites like jŸrgen paape and the collaboration with morgan geist.

where the river turns black, is the first international album by copenhagenresident and musician katrine ottosen aka call me kat. call me kat are adorably intense and mesmerizing songs, an enchanting melancholic, almost translucent drift into this sonic world best described as alternative pop, music that gives spoken word of the ever expanding danish music scene of now. songs that adapt a fine line between organic instrumentation and that very specific sound of her voice, which although completely its own tends to remind at times on other playful ladies in music like bj¿rk, feist oder lykke li.earlier works with reknown producers valgeir sigurdsson (bj¿rk, mum, sigur r—s etc.) or joe magistro (prophet omega) on the current album have certainly had their share on this.

2 cds of classic & contemporary progressive rock masterpieces

with a scraggle of noise and feedback zone beginning 26000, ilpo vaeisaenen and dirk dresselhaus continue their angel duo with a work that inhabits its own zone of cryptic anger and contemplation. if anything, a sense of structure destroyed has been the hallmark of both vaeisaenen and mika vainios work away from pan sonic, but 26000 in particular - with angel added and abetted by performers such as oren ambarchi and b.j. nilsen - introduces a sense of unspoken story to the proceedings, a soundtrack to a sci-fi film that emphasizes cosmic horror by implication. the slow roil that -before the rush- settles into, a combination throb and mechanistic growl, both parallels and contrasts the concluding -paradigm shift,- the subtlest of bass rhythms anchoring overlaid drone murk and screeches of noise shaped and controlled like an event horizon reached and held. central piece -dark matter leak- sounds it, deep echoes and distant footsteps and other outer space haunted house noises interspersed with up-front bursts of percussion rattlings and glitches, a robot companion in space rapidly going on the fritz. the overlaid clatter of -in- and similarly frenetic mess of -out- frame said dead center equally excellently.

katalyst is sydney-based producer ashley anderson, one of australias most prolific producers. over the past two decades katalyst has risen to the top of the australian hip hop and electronica scenes, receiving multiple aria and j award nominations along the way. his reputation as one of australias best producers has seen him collaborate with the likes of geoff barrow of portishead, aloe blacc, dead prez, guilty simpson, phat kat, j-live, finale, frank n dank, diverse, ugly duckling and steve spacek (who together form space invadas). the latest product of his audiophiliac obsession, deep impressions? deconstructs and distils soul, hip hop, funk, jazz, reggae and electro influences into what is perhaps most accurately described as -the katalyst sound-. it is a reflection of the large variety tunes that influence katalysts own musical direction. the album also includes collaborations with the likes of los angeles hip-hop artist bootie brown (of the pharcyde), sydneys own kweeng (killaqueenz), underground legend mr clean, upcoming north carolina mc coin locker kid, stephanie mckay (usa), steve spacek (uk), hau (koolism), and jane doe (formally jade macrae).

goldie nutzt die einmalige chance und gestaltet seine >fabric live 58< als verkšrperung des metalheadz-mantras: stets auf der suche nach neuen wegen und formeln, um drum & bass auf eine intelligente, tief-spirituelle und ursprŸngliche ebene zu hieven, befreit von schnšrkeln, immer konzentriert auf die natŸrliche substanz dieses sounds. anhand vieler tracks seines vorzeigelabels metalheadz sowie von seelenverwandten kŸnstlern befreundeter, progressiver labels kreiert goldie hier ein mixset mit schŠrfe und vision, das der zeit standhŠlt. einfach, grundlegend, unkaputtbar. ein zeitloses statement eines rastlosen visionŠrs fŸr die ewigkeit!

milk maid is martin cohen from nine black alps. they were discovered by jack cooper of mazes, who released a single on suffering jukebox before they were signed by fatcat records. the whole album was recorded on martins 8-track in his flat in manchester. reference points include mazes, woods and the woodsist label, the shins, guided by voices, oasis, jesus and mary chain.

rench dj-producer tom pooks releases a very special mixed compilation, bringing to your ears the kazantip unique atmosphere. the kazantip republic invites tom pooks each year, so he decided to release a mixed compilation to share his experience. last year, tom pooks opened for carl cox performance and the idea of this compilation became really serious, with the support of mike spirit, the then minister of songs and dance of the kazantip republic. now, french techno expert reveals a deep and strong mix, with 13 underground tracks and nothing but good vibes. without any big names nor big hits, tom pooks delivers a brillant mix, evolutive and mental as he loves. this mix sounds like the freedom and magic of kazantip, which is a strong experience in tom pooksÕs life : Çmy first time at kazantip was something weird, arriving in the midlle of nowhere, kind of lost in south of ukraine, even a bit scared : not my language, not the same food, not the same cultureÉ but after being welcomed by mike and his team, i found out the real spirit of kazantip !È no doubt, this compilation is a real tribute to the kazantip way of clubbing

boundary-pushing, thrilling, unique: psychedelic horseshit blaze with a vitality reminiscent of fatcat alumni animal collective and black dice in those bands early, wildly creative incipience. laced marks a forward stylistic shift for the band, delivering a coherent set of bustling, hookladen, melted outsider pop songs. keeping a step ahead of the lo-fi scene they christened -shitgaze-, theyve drawn on a broad range of influences instead of the xeroxed anorexia of many of their peers, have ruffled feathers by critically speaking out, and carved out caustic, humorous social commentary.

seefeels fusion aus psychedelischem shoegazer-postrock & vertrackter elektronik war mitte der 1990er dermassen mutig & stilbildend, dass warp die band als ersten act mit gitarre auf dem damals noch reinen dance & electronic-label signte. nach einem phŠnomenalen liveauftritt auf dem warp20 event in paris ende 2009 folgte dann der dringende appell des warp-mitbegrŸnders steve beckett an die neuformatierte band, diese kunst auch auf tontrŠger zu pressen. das ergebnis liegt nun in form des gleichnamigen, neuen albums vor. laut britischer times verweilen seefeel dabei nicht in vertrŠumter shoegazer-laune, sondern lassen gutgelaunt horrorfilm-noises & floorzerstšrende beats mit einer intensitŠt aufeinderprallen, die ihresgleichen sucht!
