eight full party shakin digitalism works (own track & remixes)

after releasing some cross-eyed dance floor burners on district of corruption, little helpers and bar25, pablo roman alcalá aka beaner brought some seriously sexy bent grooves over to brooklyn for those ever lasting late night benders. his first ep for thema was a dark and tangled ode to the drug-addled prose of author, denis johnson, which was well received by a slew of various deranged djs. this time he returns to stake his place on the dance floor with four deep, fractured after-hours jams. the name mixed doubles is apt, as youll find the pairings of unlikely elements on these tracks aligning nicely… before they are slowly pried apart. of course, thats when things truly get interesting

a gritty 90s style album for those who grew up on illmatic, midnight marauders, only built for cuban links, moment of truth, and ready to die. behind the scale shows the other side of what some are glamorizing about street life and drug trade. this is unfiltered, real shit on tape. some of the stories are inensly personal and sean second-guessed including them, but if it aint raw it aint real. behind the scale is about change, transition and growing up.

in the south of panama lies the darien gap, a vast unpenatrable jungle swamp that divides central and south america. it is so hostile that even the pan american highway stops there in what would otherwise be a non-stop highway stretching from alaska to argentina. many explorers never returned and it is believed that the 10.000 square mile piece of green hell is home to secret guerilla bases, drug labs and many mysterious & dangerous animals.

if we add a new label to electronic music, is it really needed, wasnt music originally unlabeled? - lads contemporary productions could be called anticipated techno, architect techno, or architechno. these two tracks are simply brilliant and beyond what i have heard to date. the way lad is building space procures the feeling to be part of the music, to be in it, swallowed by it. >isolate< and >bergvall< are just two hypnotizing masterpieces, transporting you into unknown and untamed territories. deep, soulful, cinematographic, intriguing, moving. my drug is music. from 2d to real 3d chills. vanina hänin woods, forests, deep and dark spaces, like if kubrick, kurosawa and marinetti would have gathered together to produce music, simply highly cinematographic and futuristic. lad builds up organic visions, redefying sound in such a personal way. definitively two superb, soulful, finely shaped and constructed electronic pieces which will undoubtedly make you dance the night away. (dan lagardere)

lol is a bit of an unusual project, its just a thing in its own right, its not for anything or anyone in particular, its just an lp made by three bored people who like music that sounds like it did before the advent of the internet. the project was recorded in the bedroom of a warehouse conversion in hackney wick (bedrooms can be incredibly creative spaces, seeing as most of us were conceived in one). they wrote about self-obsession, social anxiety, drug abuse, and failed relationships using pre-21st century recording devices such as vhs tape, 70s valve microphones, analogue synths, cheap argos catalogue guitars, and 80s drum machines.

the more dedicated amongst you may have noticed a very limited run of purple labelled 12s doing the rounds earlier this year bearing only the roman numeral for 1990, and comprising of two reworked club classics from the year in question well... this time we are looking back at 1987 hard to believe club music this sophisticated sprang forth from the most rudimentary equipment available it truly was a pioneering age - and its testimony to the enduring power of these raw, formative grooves that they can still easily carry a dancefloor four tracks then ranging from slamming chicago jams, to drug addled english basement music all respectfully rewired for a new generation

this debut lp by innergaze is chock full of rugged hand played analog synths lines, primitive drum machines, haunting vocals, and psychic jewelry. call it synthwave, call it punk, call it metaphysical body music or at this juncture whatever one sees fit, but this duos music goes beyond naming names for the sake of it. from the freaky, unrelenting opener >no shame< to the chris & cosey-esque >la la la<, this record creates many aural worlds to inhabit and explore. the title track >we are strange loops< bubbles at a slow, hazy drug induced bpm, while >illusions<, with its distorted almost guitar-like synth lines and stripped down 808 programming, brings things right back to the dance floor. the ideas and feelings executed here are a direct outpouring of what happens when the machines are turned on, played and recorded.

ignition”, is a ‘,back to basics’, electro-techno ep, with breathtaking trax using 90’,s style drums & samples in redemption & dual effect, doing an electro anthem with >music more than a passion, a drug<. the ep also include a remix by kim from the presets, doing a bass jumper, mid tempo but that would kill any sebastian lover, but with a rocky siprit. we aren’,t finish to hear about dinamics with his musculars and explosives productions

after respectable releases in the digital realm and on the german labels hardshower, kaufe musik aso. (both played by the big players like dj hell, laurent garnier george morel oder someone else aso.) he has now moved further and adds three brilliant tracks to the afulab catalogue. the driving and tension loaded bango banger opens on the main side with it s shuffling bongos and hands-in-the-air-and-scream frequency shifting sounds. this will surely rock big time and will leave no one unmoved and bored.the second track and the opener of the flipside drug pipe is another thrilling and funnily weird rocker that might be inspired by too much input to the maker ,-) der nougat baer rounds it up and shows that felix bernhardt is a promising new producer who will leave his marks and we are looking forward to hear his new material already

the soul clap boys from boston who come up with the next airdrop outing, outdoing themselves every single time. it’s becoming increasingly hard to hammer them down to a certain sound or aesthetic as their thirst for innovation is just unquenchable! >puppy crack< is a potent dance drug and should immediately be banned to avoid further brain damage. dripping into your drainage like some highly potent acid, the track breaks down into the wonkiest mayhem that clubbers ears have heard in a long time!for those who like it darker, the ragged >beat the puppy< tool is the one! not beating around the bush but rather beating the poor squelching animal, the track rages subliminally, gripping tight around the neck with a metallic beat that should have any old party dog wagging its tail rhythmically while the voice filters in causing uproar with its build-up.call in the ambulance and hope the doctor saving you when your overdose is mikael stavöstrand: he is just such a fine balancer and knows how to dose right: >puppy crack< becomes a deep entrancing affair with squelching noises and hypnotic synths that underline squeaking and clicking effects. slowly the whole affair culminates in an evil addiction you did not even notice you developed!

on the 5th release on his label, fanu has first brought forth an electro infused romp from cycom. petrol has those 808 claps & a rumbling bassline to it, but his electro heaven is of the darker nature, booming like a drug pulsating through your veins, cooling your tension while giving you some heavy visuals. on the flipside, bad matter & martsman lock horns & show you that, you can keep the same intensity in your tracks while still experimenting with different drum kits.

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

the lead track stunning in its original form is based upon a brooding bassline which underpins a beautiful melancholic string melody that has been utilized to full effect by man of the moment tobias luetzenkirchen who delivers a more techno influenced remix. whilst debbie does dishes hits a more hypnotic note, olivers production partner harada delivers his own squelchy interpretation taking it in a stripped sometimes you have to lose yourself to find yourself way.deep dark drug music from the house of therapy

toolroom mainmen mark knight & dave spoon return for another blistering e.p on toolroom trax. collaborating for the awesome title tune sylo, and then throwing individual tracks background noise & drug music into the mix. sylo is definitely one for the clubs with its chunky beats, electro tinged rhythms and massive builds. background noise is another signature dave spoon track, background noise is a straight up grimey affair with tight production and programming being the order of the day. drug music completes the ep from our very own mark knight. another heads down roller aimed straight for the dancefloor

archipels brand new sublabel brings you its second weirded out slab of wax with uli kunkels singing with rod. uli kunkel,however,is not one single artist. it is comprised of lee curtiss, maayan nidam (miss fitz) and shaun reeves.the record starts off with leethophobia which is an hypnotic breaks like piece of dark insanity laced drughouse very much inspired by the perlonian sounds which have been coming from germany as of late.drugpigs is fat, wobbly, and just as hypnotising as leethophobia and commands that the freaks come out to dance from the shadows of strange early morning corridoors.the flip takes a more direct approach and is fiercely lead by arrival which is an hypnotic take on dancefloor drive influenced tracks and is laced with clever edits and lysergic percussion.sing like rod is a totally weirded out and just as lysergic early morning rhythmic smoothy. kalimari is set to release quality weirdness and here it stands tall from the rest.

luaka bop presents this album from contemporary brazilian legend kassin. one of the leading producers and instrumentalists in brazilian music, alexandre kassin has produced roughly 100 records for singers, including marisa monte and bebel gilberto, recorded with sean oÕhagan (stereolab, high llamas) and made a full album based on nintendo game boy sounds. he has played bass for caetano velosoÕs live shows and conceptualized the orchestra imperial band. his new album, relax, is rooted in dreams and surrealism, yet grounded enough to reach listeners where they are. across 11 tracks, kassin flirts with latin rhythms, brazilian pop, and straight-ahead soul, using this varied stylistic array to tell imagined tales of death, drug usage, politics and fate. theres a dichotomy to relax, with kassins arrangements often feeling bright and danceable, yet with incredibly sullen themes. its a record that speaks directly to the yin and yang of everyday life, and the uncertainty that comes with simply existing.

house music broke through in 1987, at the same time when aids arrived in france with the first contamination peak in gay and drug addict circles. in 1989, the founders of act-up paris knew that both the fight against aids and triumphant house music should be joined together. from 1992 to 1995, the period covered by Ò120 bpm-, house reached its most beautiful plateau even though techno was becoming dominant. Ò120 bpmÓ is a get-together moment through clubbing, this moment where fears are forgotten by dancing with oneÕs friends, what we called Òthe chosen familyÓ at act-up. boys and girls dancing in a club where the walls cannot be seen, flooded with simple light. this is their activist recess. arnaud rebotini, composing the soundtrack of robin campilloÕs previous film, Òeastern boys-, is a recognized dj, a composer and a kind man, which is for me the most important quality. here, his work is marked by restraint of his love for house and after techno. i believe he deliberately withdrew himself in relation to the filmÕs power and the aids theme.

the/das ist ein aus der formation bodi bill hervorgegangenes musikprojekt von fabian fenk (gesang) und philipp koller (elektronik, mix), das 2012 in berlin gegrŸndet wurde. der bandname soll eine neutrale bedeutung haben und in keine bestimmte richtung verweisen. ihren sound nennen die beiden techno tenderness, was in etwa chilliger afterhour-musik bzw. new romantic house entspricht. diesen fanden die geneigten hšrer auf bislang Ÿber einer handvoll veršffentlichungen, darunter der lp -freezer- von 2014. dessen innig ersehnter nachfolger erscheint auf dem italienischen, von dj tennis gefŸhrten label life and death. wŠhrend bei frŸheren releases eher der homelistening-aspekt betont wurde, gibt das produzentenduo auf -exit strategies- verstŠrkt clubfreundliche seiten von sich preis. dafŸr vermengen die zwei ziemlich geschickt, geschmackssicher und facettenreich ursprŸnglichen techno berliner prŠgung und organische soundschleifen miteinander und wŸrzen das ganze mit verspielten kinematografischen details. ein aufwŠndiges verfahren, dessen umsetzung von losen skizzen Ÿber die ersten arrangements und immer wieder neuen †berarbeitungen bis zum finalen mix im studio rund drei jahre dauerte.
