dokument .01 features two tracks of beatless inner city industrial ambient. >strung valve checkout< is a gorgeous 11 minute sequence of piano-fuelled drones. >dada fish sticks< is equally affecting, a lulling industrial classical mesh of sound with hints of melody. what makes this release particularly special is the combination of talents behind the music. dadavistic orchestra is a collaboration between the black dog and 3 former members of the psychick warriors of gaia. both are recognised innovators in electronic music who have been hugely influential and popular throughout their careers. the two groups have been close for many years, and their musical collaboration has evolved over the last year, with dokument 1 being just the first work to be released.

first on decks.de!! italys t-bet records returns, and as with the labels past string of releases, collaboration is a key theme. this time around we have a fresh constellation of players: acirne, who is half the duo diamond dog (along with her t-bet partner signor andreoni), teams up with rio padice, known for his work on bassculture and tsuba among others.

seattle/san francisco based techno label, from 0-1, drops a smashing mini-compilation for their debut vinyl release just in time for the dog days of summer. headlining this effort is >hethradia<, the very first collaboration between techno veteran bryan zentz and somas golden boy, lets go outside. >hethradia< is a sparse, heady effort set atop a sine wave-engorged bassline rivaling californias biggest swells. acid drenched bells and synths chime in from another dimension to round off an effort that stands to be emblematic of both producers more adventurous workings.

the routes are shinichi nakayama (drums), toru nishimuta (bass) and chris jack (guitar/vocals). taking influence from amongst many others link wray, the yardbirds, the animals, the sonics, the wailers, the downliners sect and hound dog taylor, the routes distinctive sound featuring chris sublime guitar playing is a must-have for any garage fan.

jesper dahlback is one of swedens leading djs/ producers with a lengthy back catalogue to his name, including co-production on two tiga albums, the hugg and pepp project with cousin john dahlback, and remixes for the likes of rex the dog, zoo brazil, arnaud rebotini of black strobe, thomas p heckman, robyn, the knife, and depeche mode. jesper has music in his genes, but it was the musical movements in detroit, berlin and london that inspired him to start producing techno, back in 1991 in his bedroom studio. completely hooked, by 1993 he d formed the stockholm-based globe studios together with peter benisch and adam beyer (following a chance meeting on the train to love parade?) and has worked there ever since. in 1996 jesper started the imprint, blank, mainly for his own material, and simultaneously launched joint venture dk with thomas krome - one of the first labels in sweden with a techno house crossover approach! in addition to making music for various techno labels around the world and working with planet rhythm, jesper met up with swiss-born stephan grieder who had just started the svek label. the duo started to experiment with different sounds, drawing on house musics roots, utilising vocals and acoustic instruments. jesper now describes his sound as >ranging between the analogue sounds of the roland sh101 and the precision mathematics of my computer. i m a researcher and developer of unheard sounds! since the founding of globe studios, i have always been looking for new ways to bend the rules and test the unknown. when i dj, i just play my own productions blending old classics with new unreleased demos.< a producer first and foremost, jespers dj dates find him weaving a soundscape of his productions, remixes and collaborations with new material at every gig, as well as musical elements and sounds worked through the set. one of his favourite current ventures is his part in jori hulkkonens acid symphony orchestra.

phil kieran has been in the upper echelons of the electronic music game for more than a decade, but is only now releasing his debut album under his own name. known for rocking clubs and releasing a string of killer twelves, belfast-based phil has hooked up with german powerhouse cocoon in recent times. sven väths label is now about to release shh, a groundbreaking piece of work that will undoubtedly gain phil plaudits across the board. shh seems to not only reference every sound phil has ever loved in music, but is formulated in a completely fresh and futuristic way. listen carefully and you can detect elements of dub reggae, old hardcore like lfo, hip-hop, early 90s electronica such as autechre/black dog and other warp staples, as well as the futuristic techno that phil excels in. for the album phil went back to old sound lab recordings dating back to the 1950s and 60s. utilising some of these sounds in the initial construction, he built up tracks using a combination of old samples sourced from original and weird places and some live new instrumentation as well. there are live drums, some electric / acoustic/ bass guitar and live keyboard playing as well as some choice guest vocalists.

the first release on clapper is by swiss dog dachshund. a side: patte d oie is the name of a neighborhood in dakar, senegal, where dachshund was hanging out back in the days. this track is infused with the sounds of cora, a west african guitar, and wrapped in a heavy drum-kick that fluctuates from highs to lows, creating a hypnotic bass line. b side: bread. the second track is a smoother work that keeps us going with a steady rhythm, airy yet solid like a cloud that cannot evaporate

dachshund & modeste present here their respective views onto dub influenced club entertainment. dachshund strike first with an absolutely stunning cut. deep and highly effective drums, warm pads and superb dub horns along with the ever tight dog productions skills. the track might sound simple at first but yet again, what does sound simple is something you can listen for hours, this is one of thosetracks! modeste launches the big round wooded ball on the flip side. a lethal raw beat, inviting to dirtiness vocals and a snare that hit and hit and hits again… pumpin dub chords lands in and check the effect, club surprising for sure…we hope you like it, thanks for your time

uncompromising hardcore - vs lenny dee, dj mad dog & tommyknocker!!

temple of the sun is the fifth ep of the london based french producer harold boue. after his last track >chandler bing< has been charted by erol alkan and played by simian mobile disco, rex the dog (for bbc), mattie safer... abstraxion is creating here an universe of mixed up dark and brightness with warped-schizophrenic bassline. this ep reaches the diversity of abstraxions universe: from peaktime techno (b and s, temple of the sun), disco-balearic (slices), to beatless deep ambient (vampyros lesbos). abstraxion is composing an organic music, only with old analog synthesizers, in a gesture of unmitigated desire: a desire for the elementary beauty of techno.
