in fact, >in a hole<, the a-side of their latest 12 inch, is even more dream-steeped than its predecessors. relying on vintage (and in some cases, home made) gear, simon and tsai have constructed a song that is syrupy in pace. darkened tones mingle with floating percussion and vocals processed to nearly melancholic depths. >cant feel my knees< picks up the tempo, and feels slightly sunnier in comparison (>perhaps a result of practicing for the first time in a place with windows<, according to simon), with rippling keys that give way to an open, spacious sigh and an almost playful interlude of warmth and bass punctuations. the two have said theyre interested in the meeting point of house and noise, and thats particularly apparent on the two remixes that appear here. >in a hole dub< is slower, more bare-boned and ghostlier than the track from which its derived, while >cant feel my knees dub< is filled with white noise emissions and hissing electro shocks.

zc008 limited zodiak commune part i zodiak communes special series combines underground legends with the heroes of the present. this three track analog pleasure bomb represents years of underground madness. the music is adventurous, energetic and coming straight from the soul. curious who produced these monster tracks?

expect me tells the story of the tough life as an outsider, how lonely he felt as a kid, how he grew up and managed his life against all odds and developed his uniqueness. the tracks mirrors the up and down feelings of despair on the one hand and confidence & trust on the other hand. driving deep into the subconscious, the music of klartraum (soma records, lucidflow) envelopes and surrounds its listeners creating a world in which just like a dream, things are never as they seem. nadja lind and helmut ebritsch (hatikvah) as a studio double duo and burgeoning live act they are bringing an entirely unique edge to their performance and output by taking their flowing techno to a deeper, spiritual level. monty luke from planet e create an atmospheric and emotional remix, oriented on deep happenings and narrowed grooves. detroit influenced and very unique…. a resonant story full of sentiments. einklang freier frequenzens remix comes around with massive chords and deep sub frequency, introducing analogue filtersystems and synthesizers. hear and feel the life of the machinery. listen and feel good!

maxmillion dunbar returns to future times with his first release there since it began with his >outrageous soulz< 45. >max trax for world peace< takes the house sound maxmillion hinted at on his 2010 >cool water< lp (for uks ramp recordings) into sublime territory. tip! in the hyper-percussive, shape-shifting opener >polo,< max mixes italian house, angelic choirs and a bouncing bassline, while >ballroom< sees a synthetic waltz become ambient disco as 707 claps echo from the corners. >piano & dream world< engulfs the entire b-side with a blissful, heart-wrenching workout indebted to those head-down, eyes closed house tunes of the past, adding what sounds like a smudged digital orchestra to a roller of a track that marches on (>and on<) forever

for his second transmission as part of the mindshake family, carlo lio drops a propulsive, meticulous building stomper of a tune. lio creates an impressively spacious and dark sound sphere which envelopes and lures the listener in as the beat subtly builds tension and release. complementing the core elements of the track, crisp drum fills and bell chimes pierce through the mix while a hypnotic repeating synth line wont let you wake up. ghostly vocals channeling the sounds of long past soul singers, add an unexpected but welcome house element. specifically geared for that time of the night when you want to add a wtf moment.

dont miss the next long awaited vinyl on night drive music. this time we gave the black gold to hypnos. hypnos (deepology, urbantorque, myhouse, box music) presents now his 2nd release on night drive music. he graduated from music school in guitar, and played keyboards in a rock band for a few years. he was member of the infamous >demoscene< in poland - an unofficial and underground group of like-minded people mixing music with street graphics. the original is a never ending dream between sweet deepness and techy elements. its hard to describe the tune. just listen please! remixes are coming from pawas, subsky and stefan mallmann.

here at bearfunk hq we firmly believe in perseverance. we keep asking questions until we get the right answer and with 6ft bear by our side the answer is usually yes. we kept asking ilija rudman to get in the studio and write us a killer lp but being the busy bee that he is it was hard for him to take the time out. we kept asking until he eventually caved in and went underground to record his first lp, >the reveal<. ilija is a devoted and passionate man when it comes to music. one of his prerequisites for recording an lp was that the recordings had to be made with the same techniques and equipment that inspired him to make music in the first place. so ilija hooked up with one of his studio mentors and got his dream line-up of synthesizers, roland jupiter 4 & 8, minimoog, roland sh2, juno 60 and his dream drum machines linn and oberheim dmx. these analogue machines fire up to create a warm and authentic vibe across the whole lp. we are reminded here that machines do have soul if used properly. we start proceedings with the wigged out boogie of >inspectors drive< which might be a little nod in the direction of wally badarous classic chief in< have all the ingredients of dj friendly hits. the lp reveals all the influences that ilija has experienced and it shows the talent that runs inside him as he is able to make such an amazingly retro lp sound like something from the future. we are sure in years to come this lp could become as important as the influences that inspired mr. rudman to make it.

m=minmal continues the collaboration with electronic music legend conrad schnitzler. we are happy, after 30 years, to re-release one of the key works from conrads large adventurous backcatalog. >ballet statique< is not only a musical milestone but also a highlight of music production. it was recorded in 1978 at the legendary paragon studio / berlin by peter baumann - tangerine dream in the same period when other masterworks like cluster - >großes wasser< and solo recordings of roedelius and asmus tietchens were recorded. >ballet statique< was first released on the legendary french label egg. this albums is a must have not only for fans of the emeralds and oneohtrix point never.

the process of receiving and listening to demos is akin to the proverbial needle in a haystack - poorly labeled cd’s or mp3’s are handed out indiscriminately like flyers for strip clubs in times square (circa 1970). “i really think you are going to like this,” or “all nude girls,” and “dj ‘x’ played this at space,” or “24 hours live sex show…!!” but in the end, just like the harsh reality of a stripper in daylight, the demos fall well short of anything mildly interesting and certainly nothing you would bring home to mom… until madato… from the first group of tracks he sent it was clear that a nice guy from naples had sent us the needle we had been looking for. “naples may not be a place one would consider to be particularly inspiring, from its outside appearance, chaos, and plenty of junk on the streets - it takes a deeper gaze, beyond, and into madato’s dream world. madato is always looking at what’s beyond the waste. inside his dream box you might find laura palmer making out with ian curtis, charles bukowski writing a fairy tale, or perhaps john nash singing along to bauhaus songs…” file under: trippy disco inspired dance music, not defined by a genre but more of an attitude. post-punk undertones mixed with psychedelic sensibility

the fruhstucks sophomore release with racecar is a 180 degree turn from hats & cats. this is a far more refined yet purposely less polished release, still rife with emotion yet embodying a certain grace and maturation. much of this could be due to instrumentation. the fruhstucks have added strings to their vision with the addition of guitars by miguel boxerinlove and subsequently sutja gutierrez also plucking strings himself.

mood ii swing steps up to the plate for the latest core reissue with one of their finest works, handpicked from an accomplished list of mighty ny house masterpieces spanning the 1990s. >sunlight in my eyes<, released on king street sounds, is one of springsteen and ciafones unquestionable feats, an astral, pad-laden waking dream structured around a spine-tingling vocal sample that is progressively rearranged, teased-out and freaked relentlessly, as each exalted chord is shone down from the heavens at precisely the right instant. a prime example of the weightless, unfettered and incomprehensibly beautiful musical imagination of the rave generation, the 1994 masterpiece nonetheless features the swinging drum program and demolition drive of a ny house classic—a track right at home amid the boundless vision of springsteen and ciafones genius. finally reissued after 16 years of obscurity, >sunlight in my eyes< encapsulates mood ii swings many forms in a singular exposition of deep house eternity worthy of representing the duos prolific catalog.
