thomas leer is an innovative electronic musician from port glasgow, scotland. he began singing for a local band at age 13, and was writing his own music by 18. by 1977, he had moved to london, where he fronted pressure, a clash­-esque punk group with fellow experimental scottish musician robert rental. after hearing kraftwerk, leer became interested in synthesizers – not long after, he was exploring the experimental techniques of eno, zappa, beefheart, faust, and can. in 1978, thomas released his first single, private plane / international , on his own oblique records that we reissued in 2015. 1979 is a 14-song collection spread across two pieces of vinyl clocking in at 70 minutes. leer says, 1979 was a great year for making music.

popof’s illustrious label form music is set to release a special vinyl only compilation showcasing some of the imprint’s most exciting artists entitled, ‘reformers’.
since its formation in 2009, form music has rapidly established itself as one of the most innovative and ambitious dance labels, working alongside both established and new artists including julian jeweil, sébastien léger, animal & me, mendo, philip bader, petar dundov, dj fronter and jay lumen as well as the label’s head honcho himself, popof.
kicking the four track package off is popof’s sublime rework of julian jeweil’s acclaimed dancefloor destroyer ‘chrome’, which is perfectly followed by the pounding drum-and-bass-tinged-techno workout ‘shadow tactics’, created by slovenia’s pioneering dj/producer umek.
julian jeweil’s ‘midi’ continues the release, seeing the talented frenchman utilising synths with real expertise and blending electronic nuances with melodic percussive elements to bring us nicely on to the compilation’s closing track, the deep and trippy tech house gem ‘slush fund’ by berlin-based simina grigoriu.

paul blackford returns to cpu this time donning a 7inch downtempo tip. light years vinyl takes 2 of the highlights from the accompanying lp, all of which demonstrate his versatility in expressing his hip hop and funk influences from an electronic music perspective. on first pass you might think you are listening to nightmares on wax, but without the heavy sampling as blackford favours creating his sounds from scratch. comparisons to photeks hidden camera can be made in terms of atmosphere but keeping things within a slower trip hop framework. light years is for chilling out, but theres a strong temptation to mix hip-hop vocals over the top due to the lps solid instrumental foundations.

respected house and techno artist dj deep returns to rekids with four murky productions this june. having been a staple in the parisian scene for over two decades, dj deep’s vast knowledge of electronic music is indisputable making his return to production in recent years all the more exciting, releasing on tresor, rekids, and his highly regarded label deeply rooted. ‘la grande brasserie’ features rolling kicks and a subtle rhythm as futuristic stabs ebb in and out of the mix, contrasting to the ‘2e service’ version which, whilst sharing a similar aesthetic, sounds bigger with its echoing synths and infectious claps. on the flip, both tracks are more dark and mellow in comparison, ‘paris heartbeat’ demonstrates twisted atmospherics and gloomy elements, whilst the intricate and mesmerising ‘chord kids’ is exemplary of dj deep’s ability to craft imaginative left-of-centre cuts.

the release opens with brian s proper dun one , a track which caused a twitter meltdown on alan s profile when he first started playing it at the tail end of 2016. loaded with sharp and pounding drums, this is an ethereal experience from start to finish and packs a real punch. it s a no holds barred, certified main room anthem. wait a second feat. mc r1bbz has been a staple of adam beyer s sets of late and has been getting a lot of air time on drumcode radio. this rave inspired track takes a raw, stripped back approach and delivers a real killer blow. alan sampled the vocals of mc r1bbz from an ltj bukem tape pack from the early 90s and the record tips its cap to early jungle raves around the m25. the release closes with trance, init? , a homage to alan s days first and foremost as a raver before he became a dj, with his non-purist attitude when it comes to electronic music shining through. the breakdown is sure to be a hands in the air moment at festivals all over the globe this summer.

new release from sonic wizards barbir & nicola kazimir on melliflow, an electronic music label based in berlin, founded and curated by vera & alexandra.

roots in heaven is a berlin-based act that could very easily capitalize on his past accomplishments within the world of intrepid electronic music. as a label owner, resident dj at cutting-edge clubs, and accomplished solo artist behind a number of conceptually unique full-length albums, the conceiver of this project won’t likely need any introduction to the intrepid fans of electronic music.

it is making my blood boil. man, my jaw is hanging down listening to this stuff. read the email from butthole surfers man and producer, paul leary, when he heard the demo for what would become the debut philipp gorbachev & the naked man album. philipp gorbachev, the russian musician and dj, has been throwing killer parties and making some of the most innovative and exciting electronic music to come out of moscow in years. in 2014 he released his debut album silver album but when invited to perform a live boiler room he had something else in mind: a band scenario. the resulting concoction was not something locked into a 4/4 beat but rather a much more organic, groove-based sound with funk-strutting bass lines and live drums that rolled and flurried around the beats that jumped around leading the charge of the songs along with gorbachev’s damo suzuki-like vocals. taking that experiment into the studio, i dont give a snare is a wild ride that jumps genres, switches paces and alters tones frequently. the opening goodman exploding in intense rhythms and heavy, spiralling riffs that at times recall sabbath but the ever-shifting drums and gargling electronics give a wonky freshness that feels impossible to place into genre. whilst gorbachev cites a range of influences from beck to blind willie johnson as being core to him, the primary motivation is the live nature of the project itself. the main influence is the constant live experience we have as music players and performers. i want to get the most out of every party, every jam, and every dancefloor.

danny scrilla returns to cosmic bridge records with a full-length project inspired by a desire to experiment outside of club conventions. while cosmic bridge has become known for forward-thinking, dubwise dancefloor mutations, label founder om unit has long been a fan of ambient and synthesizer music and ancient musical box offers a current take on the format, with 16 tracks of lush electronic compositions and meditations. fittingly, ancient musical box also marks the label s first cassette release.

ancient musical box was written over the past year as a direct reaction to danny s frustration with club music and the inevitable cynicism that can sometimes arise from prolonged contact with scenes, styles, and genres. i wanted to create something without any ulterior motives, he explains. as the tracks accumulated, the project took on a personal dimension and therapeutic qualities. intent on not over-thinking or polishing his ideas, danny created something that is less album and more a collection of emotions in their rawest form.

despite not being intended for the dancefloor, the music on ancient musical box still bears clear relations to danny s catalogue in its minimalist approach and use of melodic motifs. you can hear it in the hazy crescendo of night sweats , the wobbly funk of pangalactic gargleblaster , and the gentle keys of talisman . alongside these are more experimental moments, seemingly fragile in their simplicity but hiding a depth that reveals itself in context: the delicate loops of the title track, the vibrations of cryopod , the melancholy progressions of too little too late .

ancient musical box is the sound of a producer remembering that the best ideas are the simplest, in the process pointing to new directions.

fred ventura and paolo gozzetti are italoconnection. in anticipation of their upcoming album metropoli on bordello a parigi we present to you the voyage ep album sampler with alternative edits and an amazing cover version of the electronic circus direct lines which are exclusive to this 12 inch.

baaz from berlin gives us further insight into his diverse musical interests with his two (for you) ep on office. as the title suggests the talented producer splits his musical activity into two genres on this record: one is deep and moody techno with a knack for strong sub bass and soft pads. and the other one is striking ambient with a wonderful appreciation of moving melodies and mellow chords combined with touching vocal parts. what is remarkable how well these four carefully building tracks go together and how effortless they further underline baaz artistic vision of reduced and understated electronic music which unfolds slowly but emphatically. a respectable new record which is well worth opening yourself to

over two decades have passed since the mover aka marc acardipane made his first appearance to the world of electronic dance music. under the wings of planet core productions (pcp) his releases spoke for themselves and he quickly earned a special pioneer status and cult following. the mover was always a unique sound leaning towards the edge of darkness and abstract characteristics. with several releases on his co-owned label pcp as well as r&s records and tresor he always managed to create unforgettable milestones of raw, apocalyptic yet danceable tunes that have remained timeless and individual until today. with the mover – selected classics (remastered 2017)- on his freshly launched label planet phuture- he returns to the surface and shakes the world with a compelling assortment of the most impactful tracks in a remastered, fresh sound quality. experience an uncompromising dystopia with tracks like nightflight (nonstop 2 kaos), into wasteland- or we have arrived. astral demons, waves of life or spirit slasher will pull you deeper into the center of your subconscious mind and certainly leave you dazzled. the mover - selected classics is unquestionably one of those releases that can t be ignored and must be a part of everyones techno collection!

only few artists in techno music have been able to develop a unique signature in sound like eduardo de la calle did. even after releasing more than 90 vinyl records in almost 20 years, the spanish mastermind is still one of the most enthusiastic persons when it comes to preserving the real people and places in our beloved scene. despite touring the world as a dj and putting out his music on big-name labels, he has always supported small labels and underground institutions around the world. the spiritual approach to electronic music hes teaching with his music has been a big inspiration for many listeners, djs and producers. his latest release on night defined recordings is another precious add-on to his unique lifework of music

brooklyn based 369 records returns with its second release, a split 12 featuring artist co la and jeremy hyman. a side is laced with the freaky self extended edit of co la s -barricade-. this track sculpts sound into a club ready fast pace tune sure to leave people intrigued and begging for more. on the b side jeremy hyman introduces a hypnotic melody unlike many you have heard before. building on this melody it slaps you with the clap, and beats you with the bass. dance floor tested , this release is not your average twelve inch. both co la and jeremy hyman have a rich discography and sick pedigree before their solo careers. co la aka matthew papich played in ecstatic sunshine ( carpark records) before starting his solo project co la (software records, primary information) , and also a key contributor to lifted (pan records) jeremy hyman is a rare breed. a classically trained drummer who has played for more legendary bands than one can name (ponytail, dan deacon boredoms, animal collective, lifted) . he has recently started a wild independent self titled electronic solo career. he has already released tracks on future times records

seth troxlers agenda setting play it say it label is back with another massive release, this time coming from a group of detroit heavyweights. featuring a lead track from andy toth & billy love, it is packed with essential remixes from chuck daniels, andrés & midnite jackers. andy toth was part of detroit grand pubahs and billy love is a singer from detroit who added vocals to seminal tracks by underground resistance. together they have help their citys electronic music earn its enviable reputation on the world stage, and here billy tells a story informed by his time as a male revue dancer at a legendary strip club called watts club mozambique.

without artwork cover - only standard cover (see picture)...ltd warehouse / backstock - the midnite ep is the follow up ep to delano smith s sunrise ep on third ear recordings, released at the end of 2008. the sunrise ep was one of the underground house records of 2009, and the midnite ep is set to be one of the underground house records of 2010. both delano and us think the midnite ep is better than sunrise. after the sunrise ep, we decided to do it again and maintain the theme and name the next ep after a moment, a feeling within the dance floor experience. we decided on midnite. once again we have selected four tracks from a selection that delano sent us. you can play these tracks at any time of the day or night, and we encourage you to experiment in this way. however, dropping any of these tracks at midnite will ensure that you, your dance floor and all the people in the room will be set up for the journey. :-) a1: a special kind is constructed in the classic style of filtered samples from another record over a fat (really fat as this is a record made in detroit) kick drum. the samples are from ashford and simpson s stay free from 1979 on warner bros records. it is a sign of a good dance music producer that s/he can take an already great track and turn it into a dance floor bomb. delano has done this with a special kind. 117bpm. a2: dee s gruv is a very deep, very atmospheric groove. a crisp snare, a growling bass, a kick drum of varying intensity though the track framing the vibe, and a subtly modulating chord that goes on forever. hi-hats and ride cymbal move in and out of the track as it ebbs and flows. this kind of deep, grooving suspension of time is becoming a delano smith speciality. 122bpm. b1: the exploration is delano working through the same ideas as he explores in dee s gruv. hitting harder and driving faster than dees gruv, the exploration is a continuation of delano s search for the ultimate deep house groove. all students of electronic dance music should check this.

asc made his first appearance last year on fracture, remixing the newcomer ombossa. the san diego based electronic music producer comes back on the french label in 2017 with two fresh tracks that show him going further into his exploration of techno soundscapes. the canadian duo orphx doesn t need to be presented. they have been responsible for some of the most interesting techno records in recent years. in their hands, dissolve becomes a frantic and out-there trip of almost 10 minutes

a sublime and quietly hypnotic work belied by steadfast conceptual rigour, grafts is the most ambitious and involving work yet from kara-lis coverdale, her first since 2015.
in three parts of cascading yet plaintive multi-instrumental gestures, grafts expands on the processing and self-temperement techniques explored on 2014’s a 480 into a more encompassing palette. uncompromisingly distinct while redolent of modal minimalism, 70s, new age, and folk music, grafts effectively blurs distinctions between traditional composition and more open, overlapping genres that hover in the half-light between acoustic and electronic refinement.
limited one-sided vinyl release.

following a killer debut on optimo trax michele mininni debuts on r&s with the heavy hitting psych detonation of ‘rave oscillations’ hailing from southern italy, mininni s influences run to kraut, post rock, new wave and electronic amongst others, a long time dj he manages to condense his influences into beguiling productions that come as a welcome breath of originality. taking a heavy dose of inspiration from seminal kraut groovers silver apples, ‘rave oscillations’ builds from the hypnotic motorik groove and off kilter bass into a pulsing peak time anthem. on the flip, ‘vortex stasi’ takes things into a more psychedelic direction - dubbed out piano, jittery rhythms and spiralling swathes of guitar blossom into a truly tripped out, squalling, breakneck concoction. mininni s kaleidoscopic musical vision is a truly unique proposition, a myriad of different styles and genres deformed under his oblique lens to create sun-drenched space music.

debut release heralding from newly sprung, berlin label, temporize, “sounds from an unknown town” is also the debut release from mysterious italian, wrng pattern. promising the directional sound of “electronic productions with no real boundaries in sub genre”, this first release proves true to the labels intentions.
the limited vinyl release features five eclectic sounding tracks, each reflecting a variety of places on the musical spectrum that the label is planning to represent. on the a-side, listeners are presented with a rich uk and jungle fuelled dubby opener “ancient”, followed by the more delicately constructed techno leaning banger, “dip city lights”. pressed onto the underside is intricately the deepest track on the record, “montjua” tipping it’s hat to a more dubbed out electro palate. followed by the deep digging dubbed out charger “grrl skitty up up”. rounding off the release is “bb mix”, a stuttering, pad heavy track with off-kilter beats.

deca (federico de caroli), composer and musician graduated in piano, for over 30 years is a protagonist of the italian electronic and experimental scene, then approaching to other fields such as theater, multimedia and television. he is a great summoner of dream suggestions and started from the lesson of cosmic school to arrive at a personal alchemy of tradition and innovation, clutching the paradigms of artificial sound on the natural one. he began playing in 1975 and in 1983 bought his first synthesizer starting a long process of creative evolution, playing in parallel bands that are inspired by the british new wave as joy division, the cure, killing joke and studying the dynamics of synthetic sound.

while bringing the antidigital s four-fold path to completion, v.i.t.r.i.o.l. squares the symbolic structure of the series by focusing with conceptual precision and musical elegance the heaviest of elements within the alchemic cycle: water. both adaptable and erosive, essence and abyss, the paramount fluid is an archetype of metamorphosis. constantly attempting to overtake every obstacle towards the gravitational center, pervading and transmuting the earth by transforming itself, water eternally conquers the depths where it still serves as origin, nest and nourishment of life. like a torrent, v.i.t.r.i.o.l. tells and embodies the sublimating descent of water, taking shape as a pouring of micro-tonal falls, opening passageways through a radiant narration of deep intimate soundscapes. framing a sequence of almost religious experiments in circuit manipulation and digital-processing of the resulting electrical sound-fields, the short album signs the important inspirational contribution by drøp to dromoscope antidigital project. enchanting second outcome by sound designer giuseppe bifulco, v.i.t.r.i.o.l. resonates clearly of a post-modern electronic shamanism, a fascinating musical vision interpreting sound as a physiological trigger and music itself as a therapeutic instrument, a path for an interior empty-set (ø) capable to free consciousness from rational domain and reconnect it to deeper natural truths. like a map for the descent, v.i.t.r.i.o.l. engraves its own name and structure with one of the most substantial hermetic aphorisms ever, -visita interiora terrae rectificando invenies occultum lapidem-, dropping a hint and pointing a destination for the healing research of the truth: the unknown interiors of the world, the subterranean unveiled inner self.

this anthology brings to light the music of robert Æolus myers, featuring recordings from 1982 to 2006 that were previously available only on cassette or cd.
the music within “a retrospective” tells the story of a man whose music elevates its listeners to a place of inspiration and enlightenment. often ethereal, Æolus’ music is driven by synthesizers, melodic flutes, sweeping patterns, and subtle rhythms to seed inspiration from deep within the listener.
one might assume that Æolus carved a new path for electronic music in hawaii, but the islands never quite fully embraced the burgeoning new age scene that Æolus found himself a part of during the 1980s and the early 1990s.
few artists in hawaii have produced a body of work, let alone embarked on a musical journey, such as the one that Æolus has created.
for aloha got soul, this release marks a new chapter of bringing rare and relatively unknown music of hawaii to the surface.
