jk soul had a new vision for his new album take me higher. he wanted to show the world his wide range of production skills and his capability of moving through the different styles of electronic music with class. not a lover of sticking to any stylistic niche to mark his territory. electronic music was always his playground so now house, dubstep, drum & bass, together with touches of reggae and soul are equal parts in his new creations all of which are there to enrich his unique and famous hip hop based beats and soul influenced trip hop trademarks. lala pumpkins voice moves the listener far away, across the european borders and in the west side of the atlantic, sounding so fresh and full of emotion but at the same time strong and certain of the capabilities that carries like a funk diva.

mit neneh cherry hŠtte wohl kaum noch jemand gerechnet. erst recht nicht damit, dass die stimme von 7 seconds an der seite eines free-jazz-trios suicide covert. zwischen neneh cherry und the thing hat es offenbar gefunkt. vor zwei jahren trafen die prominente sŠngerin und das radikale free-jazz-trio erstmals zusammen, nun haben sie gemeinsam ein album eingespielt. angesichts der hits von neneh cherry, die sich zwischen hiphop, soul und ethno bewegten, mutet ihr comeback-projekt abwegig an. betrachtet man jedoch die familiŠren hintergrŸnde, liegt die kollaboration eigentlich auf der hand: neneh cherry ist die tochter des jazzmusikers don cherry, der the thing mit einem seiner stŸcke zu ihrem namen inspiriert hat. der renommierte schwedische saxophonist mats gustafsson und das norwegische rhythmus-duo ingebrigt hŒker flaten und paal nilssen-love transzendieren das spektrum herkšmmlicher jazz-trios. neben einem cover von don cherry finden sich darauf songs von the stooges, mf doom, martina topley-bird und ornette coleman. wenn nicht alles tŠuscht, steht mit diesem album die †berraschung des jahres ins haus.(78sfm)

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.

mohn is likely producing the best music that vangelis never wrote, the lost soundtrack to a kšlsch version of blade runner, a space opera in slow motion conducted by a hypnotized caspar david friedrich in orbital transit. as music it gets extremely close, obscuring the sun, whispering loudly, slowly, and furiously, both a fascinating trip into the interior of an inverted electron- scanning microscope and the meticulous recreation of a mandelbrot fractal, all in album format. whether synthesizers dream of electric sheep, wolfgang voigt and jšrg burger may not be able to say for certain, but as mohn, they seem to have a fairly accurate idea how it might sound.

the new teenage bad girl album is full of energy and obvious hits such as keep up with you (stardust from the 80 s), the rock-orientated black hole, the electro-break of fight night or the dance-house tonton funk. but there are also the synthetic and melancholic eponymous slow backwash, a minimal discoid ballad like heart zero beating (tangerine dream 2.0) or even the hedonistic and poppy hip-hop tune x-girl, the bandÕs next single.

even after more than 30 years of living the lifestyle of electronic dance music, techno is still sometimes looking for a matching form and sound language to transfer the special thrill of a live event to a club night adequately. so, sven vŠth and his crew were even more excited about the live set of eric estornell aka maetrik at cocoons closing party at amnesia / ibiza this year. for the final of a season that was once again exploring the limits of party culture, maetrik celebrated an extraordinary energetic state of emergency for more than one hour. the resulting live cd is reflecting that matchless mixture of pumping deep house, energetic soul and adrenaline-enriched noise.

2012 album from the british indie rock quartet. ester neatly combines elements including the dream pop of beach house, the sweet nocturnal melancholy of the xx and the sonic exploration of my bloody valentine to form an album that s streets apart from any of its contemporaries. it s a great achievement that from the first listen makes it apparent that a lot of people are about to fall in love with this band.
