late 80s south african dance floor winners only! selected by dj okapi and antal, the compilation holds tracks by jivaro, the hard workers, ayobayo band, s.y.b. & many more. this is the sharp electronic music that fuelled the local pantsula dances during the 80s and 90s . a must have for fans of bubblegum and kwaito music. top tip! the 12 tracks selected for pantsula! come from a very unique, very different time and place. they represent the birth of electronic dance music in south africa, through the songs of one particular independent label from the time: music team. the sound represents the culmination of the bubblegum era, when south africaÕs disco artists outgrew their american influences and forged an increasingly electronic and ÔlocalÕ pop sound

laslo, a hungarian producer, and newcomer to the greta cottage woodpile, creates and then inhabits a sonic world that is uniquely his own on minden nap vasarnap. through layers of delays, cavernous reverb, the ever-present crackling high end of light noise, tones and melody flicker through and decay into a washed out dub oblivion.

this compilation spanning a period of 37 years features burnt friedmanÕs releases and edits thereof from vinyl-only labels (latency (fr), marionette (ca), dekmantel (nl) amongst others) plus 4 hitherto unreleased tracks, making them available on digital formats. friedmanÕs music from 1980 to 2017 covers a broad spectrum of played and programmed rhythmic styles that traverse not only club music from techno, electro and dub, but, above all, trace friedmanÕs own artistic development. a trajectory that owes a lot to his long-standing collaboration with can drummer jaki liebezeit, who died at the age of 79 in 2017. like liebezeit, friedman already explored even and uneven rhythms back in the late 1980s. this selection of 17 tracks documents this pursuit while bringing rough or discarded tracks to light, which did not fit onto any album or were intended for the nonplace label. the compilation runs the entire gamut of his work on percussion, keyboard, samplers and toys of all kinds using various production methods (tape, atari, midi, sampler, hard disk recording, digital audio tape). studio work (instant-composition, programming and recording) underwent major technological changes and revolutions in the 1980s and 1990s, but friedmanÕs distinctive signature style prevails throughout. surprisingly danceable tracks, interrupted by alien atmospheric periods, defy any genre.

new long player from manchester s claro intelecto. entitled exhilarator , the 13 track album marks a return to action for the esteemed producer. a cinematic album of icy techno, weighty bass and poignant melody. from plaintive keys and slow motion drums awash with melody to corrugated industrial drums that don t let up, this is a diverse album in both mood and texture. moments of ambient celestial beauty exist next to breezy and summery grooves while skewed and sludgy acid sits next to serene underwater dub. stewart s mission to step outside his usual self has resulted in another landmark electronic album. killer release!

itÕs already been 5 years since the last zombie zombie album rituels dÕun nouveau monde, after which the group explored other territories by signing 2 film scores, namely loubia hamra by narimane mari and irr�prochable by s�bastien marnier, as well as creating the music accompanying a contemporary circus show called slow futur created by martin palisse and elsa gu�rin. wouldnÕt these beautiful parentheses make you want to return to the sources? after 10 years at versatile records, 2017 also marks the decade anniversary of the release of their first album a land for renegades in 2007, at the time considered to be one of the 10 best albums of the year according to rough trade. livity - zombie zombieÕs latest opus seems to plunge us deep into science fiction, with a cover designed by the mythic cartoonist philippe druillet, who is also the founder of the cult m�tal hurlant comic series. the title of the album is somewhat misleading, as one could mistakenly think of a certain dub record made at the famous island records compass point studio in the bahamas.

aufgenommen wurde universal high im sommer 2016 in den maze studios in atlanta, wobei niemand geringerer als der legend�re ben h allen (gnarls barkley, animal collective, deerhunter) in die produzentenrolle schl�pfte und mit bandleader ben romans-hopscraft eine kreative allianz formte. man k�nnte -universal high- durchaus als eine wiedergeburt sehen: es setzt sich fast bis zur unkenntlichkeit vom dub-geladenen psychedelic-indie ihres deb�ts ab. der neue sound ist dagegen viel mehr gepr�gt von den stra§en des s�dens, auf denen er entstand, vermischt mit dem 70 s soul von the isley brothers, curtis mayfield und shuggie otis.

following last yearÕs much-acclaimed solo album Òmondo alteradoÓ (hippie dance 08), original pachanga boy and hippie dance mentor rebolledo returns to the limelight with the jam-packed mondo re-alterado (hippie dance 10), tapping into his vast and varied network of friends and fellow soundsmiths. artists such as superpitcher, dj tennis, maceo plex, red axes, fango or fantastic twins deliver stunning takes on rebolledosÕ unique signature sound, creating a full suite of exclusive remixes, cover versions and reinterpretations.
from the super-energetic club rumblings of maceo plexÕs discotico plexico to dj tennisÕ dreamy pimiento drive version of a numb gas to the future or fantastic twinsÕ party bomb fantastic pow pow, the journey through mondo re-alterado is full of twists and turns Ð a world where an epic, cinematic soundscape such as superpicherÕs rainboy super space sits comfortably alongside the claustrophobic, punishing banger that fango sculpted from stand-out cut Òpow powÓ.

meanwhile, red axes turn the casual narrative of Òlife is strange, life is hard, life is greatÓ into a bouncing workout Ð a great companion piece to want, danny daze and shokhÕs propulsive, jagged dub version of Òfears come trueÓ. other highlights include j�rg burger aka the black frame with the lush black rainbow woman, paulorÕs country rock extravaganza discotico desertico and not one, but two excellent contributions from former italians do it better honcho mike simonetti. itÕs a magical, surprising ride that finds beauty in contrasts Ð while staying tuned to rebolledoÕs spirit of adventure and powerful sense of style.

das deb�talbum von double tiger aka jay spaker ist ein album, dass erinnerungen an die klassiker der fr�hen 80er erweckt, als s�nger wie frankie paul, sugar minott oder johnny osbourne die reggae dancehalls dominierten und gleichzeitig die zeitgen�ssischen bass- und soundsystem-kultur zelebrierten. bis auf einige gastbeitr�ge, hat jay spaker das album zu weiten teilen komplett selbst geschrieben, eingespielt und produziert. spaker ist seit f�nf jahren gitarrist und s�nger bei john brown s body und hat als solok�nstler auf diversen projekten mitgespielt. er ist auch mitbegr�nder des dub stuy labels.

darauf kann man sich verlassen: wo joey negro draufsteht, ist tanzmusik drin. seit der 13-j�hrige david russell lee 1977 in einer tv-sendung den song -boogie nights- von heatwave h�rte, ist er vom disco-virus infiziert. und den ist er bis heute nicht mehr losgeworden. obwohl -produced with love- erst sein zweites eigenst�ndiges album nach -universe of love- von 1993 ist, hat joey negro in den vergangenen dekaden m�chtige spuren im dance-bereich hinterlassen. nicht nur produzierte er zahlreiche chartbreaker, dancefloor-kracher und remixe unter diversen pseudonymen (jakatta, raven maize, doug willis, prospect park u.v.a.m.), vor allem war er f�r grace jones, diana ross, deep dish, lionel richie, mariah carey, tears for fears, ultra nate, masters at work, roy ayers, blaze und roger sanchez aktiv. hinzu kommen kollaborationswerke, bandprojekte und eine reihe herausragender kompilationen wie die -house masters-- serie, -remixed with love-, -disco not disco- oder -kings of house-. kurz: ob mainstream oder underground, joey negro ist ein mann der superlative, bei dem einfach jeder beat, jedes hook und jeder loop perfekt sitzt.

rundum-sorglos-groove-paket zum zur�cklehnen und genie§en. re-release von 2000. sei es mit peter kruder als kruder & dorfmeister oder rupert huber als tosca, wenn richard dorfmeister seine finger im spiel bzw. an den reglern hat, darf man sich auf entspannt-fluffige kl�nge zwischen trip-hop, dub und downtempo einrichten. tosca wurde 1994 gegr�ndet, erstaunlicherweise schon kurz nach dem start von k&d. ihr deb�t gaben tosca 1997 mit -opera-. dessen nachfolger -suzuki- kam im jahr 2000 in die l�den. beide alben erschienen bei !k7 und g-stone, dem label von peter kruder und richard dorfmeister. -suzuki- hat nichts mit kleinen japanischen autos oder monsterbikes zu tun, vielmehr versteht sich die ver�ffentlichung als hommage an den zen-meister shunryu suzuki. das album enth�lt in der cd-version zw�lf und in der vinyl-ausgabe neun instrumentaltracks, in die vocal-samples instrumentenartig eingeflochten wurden. vielen fans des �sterreichischen duos gilt -suzuki- mit seinen -hypnotic, deeply chilled-out epics- (allmusic) als dessen beste einspielung. die neuauflage von -suzuki- ist die erste seit 2000.

it is a great album! it sounds like he had passed through my lessons. (tony allen) although i did not think deeply about it but i felt that a certain time had come for me and i decided to produce my solo album. it was 20 years since i first started playing drums and since then, out of all the brilliant artists who live in japan that i played with, i wanted to freely enlist players who i really wanted to create music with. the initial catalyst was my strong yearning, wanting to know, what sort of creativity would result, if i produced my own album.
