the last record in wunderkind gerry reads trilogy of 12 inches arrives to round off the first stellar year for fourth wave. all by myself carelessly builds and chops through a dusty loop and brooding male vocal, like a inebriated bum woozily recalling all but forgotten nights dancing at the music box in the early 80s. continuing on the chicago theme, gerry cracks out a jazzy sample and clipped vocals on what a mess blending in his own unique style the unlikely bedfellows of disco house and drone. drone disco house, anybody?

sixteen brief and inconsequential images..glimpses of scenes flickering by… heres mickey moonlights debut album! full of discrete and subtle details this lp is definitely aimed for home-listening and not for the club (even if close to everything is receiving massive support from our dj friends..) although mm has assembled a large and stellar cast of musicians the album still remains his singular and unique vision.

originally released in 1985 for chris carters >mondo beat< lp on conspiracy international, >moonlight< is getting a long-overdue single release of the original and reinterpretation from neurotic drum band. a long-time fave of jd twitchs, >moonlight< was a hit in the late 80s with a much-slowed down bootlegged version on the belgian new beat scene and amongst the italian cosmic djs. the ny duo of ulysses and john selway, aka neurotic drum band, recreate >moonlight< keeping the original feel, slowing it down just a touch and ultra cosmic-a-fying it for an ultra-headtrip psychedelic spaceflight! as a special bonus, there is a digital-only remix from oneohtrix point never. its the sort of drone, dark ambient sound that fans of opns daniel lopatin know and love. bliss out… for those who may not know, chris carter is one of the founding members of throbbing gristle, partner with cosey fanni tutti (knows as carter-tutti and formerly recording as chris & cosey) and has been working with sound for over 40 years. for an extensive biography and up-to-date info about his current projects.

experimental edged techno drone + stripped down half-stepping drum & bass style bonus cut!

>rdjcs5<, a new 4-track 12-inch ep by solvent, is the result. this is suction022. each and every sound on this record came from rdj’s old cs5, painstakingly programmed and multi-tracked by solvent over the course of several months. the limited capabilities and sound palette of this humble little synth provided quite a challenge, but ultimately the results are not merely an exercise in technical synthnerdery, rdjcs5 speaks more of solvents musical kinship to thee analord. opening track >curtains< bears similarity to early rephlex signing bochum welt, while >radiator<, >mould<, and >tassels< each contain hallmarks of the classic afx sound. at the same time, each track also sounds distinctly and unmistakably solvent. the 12 inch vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies, in brown chipboard sleeve with sticker, and also contains an additional noise/drone piece at the end of side b. entitled >sandpaper<, this cut will be individually hand-etched by solvent, for a 1-of-a-kind cut/click/loop experience.

electric deluxe is proud to present the new terence fixmer ep le terrible. and as the name already suggests this ep is up for some serious damage. a side kicks off with le terrible a dynamic and powerful monster of a techno track which pumps up your adrenaline with its pounding bass drum and hypnotic built ups. gut feeling! b1: concept c is a strong track in which terence fixmer works his production magic with more experimental elements such as drone sounds and his ragged and slightly distorted signature bass. nonetheless creating a high energy level tune ready to be unleashed on the dancefloor. b2: last with the vinyl version dance like paranoid (marcel dettmann remix). marcel dettmanns remix wins you over by its carefully arranged melody and drum pattern which creates a melancholic and timeless rave anthem. bliss!

emphasis recordings is proud to present the latest tang single, >bass synergy<! the title track continues in that chicago/detroit vibe that we all come to know from tang. it starts off with a bass heavy, industrial styled, drum programming before a pulsating bass comes riding along a funky melody. just when you think you got the beef of the track, things break down to rumbling arppegiated bass roll. then boom! both basslines and percussion come back in for the for the finish! did i mention theres strings?

played and supported by: adam x, ben klock, samuli kemppi, dvs1, edit-select, norman nodge, oliver ho, perc, shifted, cio d or, max_m, lucy and more... m_rec ltd continues to ascend as one of the the most interesting labels in the techno scene. today s release sees giorgio gigli (prologue music, zooloft, electric deluxe, elettronica romana, etc.) sign two original tracks and a remix of one of the most important artists of the past few years: terence fixmer (electric deluxe, prologue music, etc.). together, their approach creates something special and unique. in its original track giorgio gigli delivers the best of its hypnotic and psychedelic techno. a great atmosphere, where the ambient pads meet the dark bass sound which made giorgio one of the most significant artists in the new techno scene. the side closes with an ambient session, a drone of pure electronic,dark synth, making the idea of the state of mind of his own individual unconscious.terence fixmers version is decidedly more rough, stripped of certain atmospheres, highlighting a more hypnotic and repetitive attitude. this rough sounds have for many years marked terence fixmer as an icon of the techno world. this is a great release of modern techno!

dust science is proud to present the second release from dadavistic orchestra, a collaboration between the black dog and 3 former members of fellow electronic pioneers the psychick warriors of gaia. dadavistic orchestras first release, >dokument .01<, showcased the two groups love for dadaism and all that it inspired. dokument .02 continues with this theme. where the first release was a double a-side of ambient electronic drone, dokument .02 is a six track album of beatless but very high impact electronics. each track weighs in at around 11 minutes of evolving, warm, and affecting analogue deepness. endlessly fascinating and continuously stimulating, these pieces are long, and yet highly economical.

here comes the eighth release in the line, pressure cooked by christian wunsch. three slices of fine modern techno, but with strong roots on tradition. buried mistakes opens fire with clean drum programming and punchy beats. spacey arpeggios and subtle drones are the makings of this movie. on the flip side, complete surrender uses similar rhythm coordinates, clean percussion sounds programmed with extreme taste, constantly evolving until the strings come in, creating a sci-fi futuristic mood, perfect for techno travellers. inevitable war is the last piece slower tempo, intelligent drone work out, dark atmospheres lying on a single kick, growing to make a complex beat as the minutes go on. they call it deep techno out there. a departure from the hard edged sounds on behalf of a mental way of understanding techno.

oliver hos label wires returns soon with the third installment, >nothing ep< by raudive. this release sees oliver pushing the raudive sound into a darker area featuring industrial influences within the techno grooves. the ep starts off with >shiver<, featuring an organ drone overlaid with bursts of resonance and feedback, with the repeated vocal phrase, >the sun sets inside you<. next comes >>nothing<. a strange wood block sound rides over the heavy groove, with synth stabs and echoing vocal sounds, it is relentless and hypnotic. we continue with >sigil<, the combination of monotone bass and synth stabs with the strange primal moan produce a creepy groove, - gothic techno maybe... finally we have >dial<. the last track finishes the ep off with heavy drones and white noise feedback, bringing to mind the relentless tones of lou reeds metal machine music.

planetary assault systems needs no introduction having been at the heart of techno since 93.taken from the first mote-evolver ep, gt is remixed and reworked to bring a classic bang-up-to-date!

the environmental radiation dose on the moon ep is the first collaboration between zooloft and aconito records. the two labels are twinned in exploring the limits of techno, experimenting with structures and sequences and ultimately arriving at the place where the deep and dark sublimes. the ep opens with the child that was watching the moon a track lifted right out of the drone-techno hymnal. it starts with muddied, subterranean bass and builds not just outwards but inwards. filled with obtuse references and metallic rasps the atmosphere created is obscure and spectral. on the reverse the moon that was watching the child sounds like its been exposed to radiation. the sounds are distorted, as if created from samples of the genome unzipping. the arrangement is stunning, bells filter in and out and the layers smelt into one another. there is awe at work here, but its an awe that remains underpinned by terror. this release, mastered in berlin at the legendary calyx studio, is something of a record collectors dream. it will be released on solid silver vinyl in a very limited edition of just 200 copies. za000ltd should be enjoyed on wax, this wont be available digitally.

nice nice are jason buehler and mark shirazi, a duo from portland making incredibly precise yet completely wild noise jams that have drawn comparisons to a range of contemporaries, from fuck buttons to health to lightning bolt to animal collective. >one hit< is their addictive first uk release, and their first on warp ? a powerful first impression equally likely to appeal to fans of noise / drone music (zu, earth, lightning bolt) as more rhythmic, structured artists (fuck buttons, pivot), psychedelia or shoegaze fans, and more brian enoesque sounds.

after its first release rework closer moved bass cadets and techno heads alike, the label returns with some fearless offbeat pressure in round two. a side sun touch aint about cherishing the first sunshine in springtime – rather like a fierce ray of light hitting you right in the eye, darkening everything for a moment. killer broken beats, rumbling subs and a gloomy atmosphere run the program until a nasty acid line takes over and funks things up even further. drain on the flip continues where closer (ams01) left off, the warm synth blanket this time appearing as a melancholic drone sequence over beats syncopated to the max. bonus cut untitled is the 2006 original of a tune bass music heads will be familiar with by now... beats from the machines, heartfelt lfo’d chords and arpeggiated bleeps round off this uncompromising twelve.

the second installment in the split lp series is a dutch affair, but it has everything it needs and more to soon make name far abroad. each side of the record contains a complete work clocking in at about twenty minutes.
side a is >chime ep< by hydrus. the four tracks they contributed stand out because of their meticulous production and their wonderful sense of melody and emotion. this is music in the best electronic tradition, blending hiphop, idm, ambient, funk, drone and badass breaks. hydrus begins this twenty-minute journey with a funky bump and end it in a mess of nervous percussion, splintered to dust.
side b is an altogether positive and quirky piece of work by kettel. like most of his work of the last few years, >yellow baron< is exploding with beautiful melody. in six tracks kettel puts everything to work to make your head bop, to bring a smile to your face and a tear to the corner of your eye. classic stuff, without losing sense of experiment.

twentieth release in fat cats famed split series compilations, this record combines norways alog with sunroof! member astral social club.
active since 1997 and one of norways leading exponents of experimentalelectronic music, alog is the duo of espen sommer eide and dag-are haugan, mainstays at the rune grammofon label.
alogs unique, hybrid sound has since developed through four albums that have unfurled a series of abstract yet accessible, self-contained sound worlds, each animated with their own internal logic, mixing a wide variety of bothelectronic and acoustic sources into something warm, intricate and organic.
alog embrace the freedom to flit and root in the cracks between strands of minimalism, electronica, post-rock, improv and vernacular music, merging woozy, stuttering electronica (a la oval or nobukazu takemura), with rich, shoegazey guitars, freeform improvisation, scandinavian folk, field recording and the masterful editing and soundscaping of electroacoustic composition.
astral social club is the project of prolific scottish-born neil campbell, apivotal figure on the uk post-punk underground, with a vast catalogue and numerous collaborations.
a member of both matthew bowers total and sunroof! projects, he appeared on three of the latters albums before helping to form the hugely influential and prolific (over 40 releases) leeds-based drone/psych-rock outfit vibracathedral orchestra in 1998.
campbell left vco in 2006 to go solo as astral social club, under which moniker he has released a number of albums (on labels like vhf, important, qbico, textile) and an ever-increasing stream of self-released cdrs in alimited edition series of volumes (currently up to #19).
the three tracks here were recorded by campbell, john clyde-evans, paul walsh and spider stacy.

nice price deal !!! a hugely influential figure in the french techno scene for the last 15 years, lady b (aka bruno gauthier) brings his acid house flavors to curfew. a child of detroit techno and chicago house bruno has released on some of the most significant record labels in electronic music history including luke solomons and derrick carters re-launched classic recordings, f communications, dj gigolo, boys noise, citizen records, and the hackers good life label.
le fil du razoir (the razors edge in english) brings a classic techno vibe up to date via a dose of wobbly acid house. the result is a no-nonsense, high impact fusion of spitting beats, evil sub-bass and sharp jacking strings. big…
fresh from a chart-topping ep for sci+tec, reset robot brings his sound-of-now to curfew. pacing out the track to allow a swaying funk to percolate the off-kilter drone of the original the result is an edgy, melodic tech house groove.
kapat sees lady b combine bubbling 80s synth pop melodies with heavy rolling bass and drawn out dramatic strings to create a full-force floor grabbing blend of old and new. timeless, energetic, emotive underground music.

nys underground celebrity, electronic obscurity and rare disco specialist william burnett (aka grackle, aka speculator) delivers an ep that truly defies any categorization and therefore will have a harder time to find its way into the stores usually packed with easily digestible pre-masticated dancefloor stew that comes with filing recommandations. the music on this record evokes images of mad peyote sessions held amidst dry and sandy landscapes. the original desert acid sounds like a jam machines and instruments would do when left on their own, unsupervised by humans. a wobbly and acidey synthline goes on a psychedelic journey with fuzzy guitar riffs, backed by a stompy almost tribal discobeat. düsseldorfs currently most interesting band musiccargo rework the piece into a cinematic krautdisco gem that floats on a loopy vibraphone drone, sprinkled with german and english lyrics. sombrero galaxy (aka cbs/intergalactic fm regular dj tako reyenga and his mysterious uk buddy jonny nash) take the track into cosmic realms (rare occasion where the term really fits) and their version could easily be interpreted as a vangelis tribute. the last track on the ep we are it is a slow 808 jam with druggy and spaced out fuzzy vocals, paired with equally druggy and fuzzy guitars. if you are a filmmaker and you need a song for a weird desert scene youd be an idiot not to consider this one the perfect choice.
