the ep kicks off with empire of dust, an epic and brooding electro beast with powerful, mechanoid drumwork and majestic synth vistas that manages to be euphoric yet dark and grounded at the same time. it was this track whose intent later gave rise to the shape and form of the other 3 tracks on the empires ep.

mit dem ehemaligen alexisonfire-frontmann wade macneil haben gallows einen großartigen nachfolger rekrutiert. gemeinsam veröffentlichen sie am 07.09.2012 das erste studioalbum in neuer besetzung - das insgesamt dritte full-length album. in wade macneil hat die band einen ausgezeichneten ersatz gefunden, denn seine live-performance gilt als legendär. das im september erscheinende album >gallows< belegt, dass die fünf weiterhin einzigartig in ausdruck und kraftvoller dynamik sind. vom ersten moment an waren gallows eine ungewöhnliche band für die britische rockszene. 2005 ist die hertfordshire crew aus der britischen untergrund punk-szene entstanden. ihre einflüsse kamen stets vom amerikanischen hardcore - refused, at the drive-in, jr ewing - die für den brachialen und typisch tobenden sound einer unzufriedenen jugend stehen. das album erscheint auf ihrem eigenen label venn records, aufgenommen im sommer 2012 in watford von thomas mitchener und steve sears. inklusive code für freien mp3-download des albums.

welcome reisssue for monster soul-funk lp >disconnection<, one of the most obscure and sought-after releases from top 70s disco label, prelude. ridiculously expensive and hard-to-find in the original, this album is stuffed full with killer tracks spanning warm, soulful disco, high-stepping groove and boogie-heavy funk all written and produced by robert holmes. standouts include the jazzy free-style >dead on the case<, later reworked for the mysterious french skyline project, cool jazz-funk groover >bay city<, recently edited by none other than balearic maestro lexx, and the floor-friendly chunky funk workout >cash money<. however no track is a filler on this superb album which fully deserves its holy grail status with collectors. essential!

back with a renewed energy and purpose, latino-flavored rappers cypress hill climbed back into the ring for another round in the fight for hip-hop supremacy on iv, an album which is as much at home with ghetto street-kids as it is with california surfers.
with right hand man sen dog back in the fold, it completes the circle that b real and dj muggs once drew as one of the most influential groups in rap. with this fourth album, cypress hill managed to hit the #11 spot on the billboard album charts and it was certified gold.

pressed on 180 gram vinyl. skeletal shards of static tropes spew from the pro-one as dead prog drummers join the dots with heroic trills … an infrasound-tinged intervention provides a non-dropsy intermission bass binge … a graf spee of a tune, long-scuttled in the woofers … mmahler.

little is known about the norwegian bunny & bear duo known simply as the glue. their last appearance with us came courtesy of kolour ltd and we knew right then that these boys were in-store for their own ep with us and we are pleased to announce that it has finally come to fruition.

mit >life is full of possibities< von 2001 wurde dntel zu einer der wichtigsten figuren der glitch-szene, die der elektronischen musik eine neue dynamik und komplexität verlieh. unvergessliche songs wie >anywhere anyone< verschafften ihm eine treue fan-schar. seit dieser zeit sinnierte dntel, der mit bürgerlichem namen jimmy tamborello heißt, in zahllosen veröffentlichungen gefühlswelten und stimmungen nach. als teil von figurine entwickelte er einen mal anmutig-bezaubernden, mal irrwitzig-albernen techno-pop-sound. mit ben gibbard von death cab for cutie gründete er postal service, deren nummer such great heights wurde vom rolling stone unter die hundert wichtigsten songs des vergangenen jahrzehnts gewählt. dass tamborello als einziger electronic-act des nirvana-labels sub pop gesignt wurde, war zwar eine kleine sensation, rückte ihn aber aus dem blickfeld seiner europäischen fans. schon in den ersten momenten versetzt einen aimlessness mitten in den dntel-kosmos. von van dyke parks bis pavement, von den dead kennedys bis zu dr. dre hat popmusik aus kalifornien durch ihre emotionale abgründigkeit fasziniert. genauso zieht uns dntel in einen unwahrscheinlichen strudel aus irisierend schönen melodien und noch nie gehörten elektronischen klängen.

i know u combines tribal rhythms, pounding bass, insistent synth stabs, some distressed dialogue and a insanely large crash in the most maniacal way imaginable for what has to be one of the most devastating and original tunes for a very long time. sparse and spacious but yet rhythmical and energetic, lxc manages the ultimate arrangement balancing act here. the intensity increases gradually as the track progresses, culminating in an all-out tribal war ! a modern day jungle masterpiece from one of the most under-estimated producers around. on the flip, senses finally unleashes a track that decimated the very first technicality all-nighter back in 2004. 8 years later and that power is still very much in evidence! everybody want go heaven. nobody want dead – taking influence from the 1990 film marked for death, senses builds a dense vibe here, thick with imminent danger. rolling drums soon give way to a energetic ride-heavy break and pounding sub-bass hits. drum rolls drop and mentasms screech before the storm begins to subside half way through. the respite is brief however and after a complete silence the track reassembles, beginning with some insane slow to fast mentasm pitching which continues as a dark, slick reece begins to build with mysterious atmospherics. the tension is cut by the return of the drums – rolling along at first, before the mentasms and subs hit hard again, signaling a percussive onslaught! jungle just got catapulted into 2012.

last year s acclaimed sea power & change ep, a melancholic project from the mind of celebrated portuguese powerhouse tiago, is now revisited through the lens of three essential esp institute artists. side a gives us a take on strange fruit by our heroes soft rocks — a smacked up dub/boogie rendition leaving the beautifully dark mood intact whilst twisting the the rhythms toward the tough side. on side b, secret circuit (eddie ruscha of laughing light of plenty, and soon to release his solo release for esp) stuffs wild combination in his saddle and takes us for a ride through a futuristic version of the wild west with a funky bassline and distant whistles, only to be rounded out by a blissed-out epic re-rendering of yesterday is gone by somberero galaxys jonny nash. its a family affair.

edits may be dead, but just when your elitist attitude comes to a head and you think you re on top of your game, there will always be someone deeper, faster and still motivated enough to rekindle your digging desires. where blackdisco volume 10 saw the return of lovefingers and nitedog, volume xi pushes forward into new territory (and with a new aesthetic) by welcoming a group of three deep diggers who shun musical trends and their inherent fakers. dea, albion & spacelex combine their vinyl-mining efforts to unearth some real diamonds from the rough. deas cut malaka is a floater with a funky sailboat vibe, while his complimentary cut taubat takes the tired jungle disco vibe to new level with its triumphant synth-led chorus, an absolute stunner that could be extended for 20 minutes. on the flip, albion spoons water over the coals, steaming up the joint with an uptempo percussion bomb as if santana had a disco secret, and spacelex rides us out with a sexy rock groove complete with mysterious male voiceover, almost as if someone lowered the volume to whisper in your ear.

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 bjørk, feist oder lykke li.earlier works with reknown producers valgeir sigurdsson (bjørk, mum, sigur rós etc.) or joe magistro (prophet omega) on the current album have certainly had their share on this.

expanding a transatlantic connection forged with releases from uk artists the m.e.b. and dead rose music company, the fourth release for lets play house comes from glasgowegian techno heroes naum gabo (jonnie wilkes of optimo and james savage) who inject a bit of motoric stomp to lphs generally housey identity.

4 track e.p. from the dutch producer jameszoo. a perfect blend between spiritual sounds and modern experimental beatmaking!

astounding new material beamed via shemales atomic allotment,concealed in an outermost shadowy recess of darkest hyperborea. the musical paintbrush creates a harsh, barren landscape for hell transformation screens as deeply brooding electro and dramatic synthesisers propel each musical journey in its own unique style.there is an indescribable and mystifying tension which builds within the work of shemale, the opening cut, dead city photographs being a prime example. the soundbite here simply cannot pay justice to this tack as a whole,as the intro (which incidentally cannot be heard in the sample) is quite simply outstanding,with deadly,steely synths preparing the listener for an unmistakable and impending doom, which is ultimately realized in the dense, desolate sense of desperation interpreted in the final ambient-drones of tomb. converted followers of the atmospherically articulate shemale will need no further persuasion,as this will undoubtedly be a compulsive steal, but for those with an appetite for the darker side of twenty-first century electro, then there has never been a better moment to plunge into the shadows of atomic allotment. special limited edition pack includes matte postcard insert.

organs of love are the power-sleaze duo of james mckinven (organs, love) and alicia matthews (vocals, love). james mckinvens musical odyssey started with playing synth in (kraftwerk, suicide-inspired) electro band berlin blondes. he then moved on to altered images. after that he worked in genetic studios learning from the modern day genius that was producer martin rushent (human league, the stranglers, the buzzcocks). then went on to form one dove and worked with maverick genius andy weatherall. after that he drifted back to where it all started, analog electro, and miss alicia matthews. alicia matthews has quite a different background – one from fine art and performance. through working together at the same bar and having many intoxicating late night chats, they decided to try to get back to a 70s theatrical, musical performance: where live music and art combine for something beyond the rock gig vibe. and luckily enough, miss matthews has quite the pair of pipes – a true vocal delight. the result is organs of love … who frequently perform live around glasgow and have quite the reputation of thee band to see. videos can be provided, but they are not for the faint-hearted! not that optimo music ever provide a dull moment …

11 track double vinyl album from new mark broom and james ruskin supergroup ! limited initial run on marbled grey vinyl - similar look to the recent sfbsf003 surface 12inch full picture sleeve. the project, knows as the fear ratio, has seen two of the uks finest proponents of no-nonsense, immaculately sculpted techno locked in the studio together. these sessions have already borne three 12 inch titles - no time soon, erotic misery and night nurse – two of which were released on ruskins blueprint records, with the other pressed up on brooms beard man imprint. the fear ratio moniker was adopted following the release of these club-focused 12s, with the album project honing in on more abstract and experimental textures. ruskin revealed details about the project in an interview earlier this year. he said a live fear ratio project was also in the works, with a press release claiming these would commence in 2012. as the fear ratio, broom and ruskin delve into the hinterland of contemporary music. a space where cold atmospheres meet lush melody and tough, yet clipped pulsating beats. from the warm poly-rhythmic funk of >ax< to the deep spatial reverb of >guv 1<, the dub induced strains of >pinhead< and melancholic refrain of >morning blues<, ruskin and broom deliver their new artistic agenda

four bombs in birmingham key nods to detroit techno to hard, industrial, sharp and blunt with abrasive groove basslines like cathedrals and yard beats with hypnotic electronic sequences and mental development are not faint of heart. reaktor records does not fail and will make this album essential in your set.
