sven dohse is back to knock you off your feet with two more magnificent tracks. crusher means to break your bones not with violence, but force-wise. this dry bassline just pretends to be tame – like the whole ensemble does in the beginning. but initial conditions change persistently until you awake twirling in a gloomy moment of house. so compulsive it stinks. so offhand it hurts. so self-evident it makes you wanna scream. way after midnight weaver uplifts out of a sentiment of infinity. warm layers of sound come floating above an abyss hardly indicated. time barely scratches the surface of this pocket epic telling you on and on again: tomorrow never comes

martyn releases new album voids, his first for ostgut ton over the past year, dutch-born, washington d.c.-based producer martyn has undergone a metamorphosis Ð one that began with a medical emergency and has dovetailed into personal musical transformation. having narrowly avoided death after suffering a heart attack, martyn reentered his studio and began a process of reassessing the elements that drive him to make music: sampling, unpredictability, melancholy, sci-fi, polyrhythms, texture, ecstatic moments, detroit, interlocking percussion and bass. however, the initial spark to start producing again came through his experience listening to max roachÕs 1979 ensemble percussion album mÕboom.

after more than three years of silence as a producer, efdemin a.k.a phillip sollmann returns with a striking hybrid concept that merges the album format with the -continuous dj mix- format, presenting completely new material in a seamless manner. this cd-mix, named na•f, officially reinstates his label of the same name and is a sprawling tour of inner space featuring 19 distinct tracks from fellow producers (e.g. margaret dygas, steve bicknell, jeroen search, pom pom, marco shuttle or gunnar haslam) along with an additional ten that feature efdemin himself (either as soloist or collaborator). the release condenses his decade-long dj-ing journey and evolution as a producer into a single potent elixir of contemporary techno. owing to his additional projects, such as collaborating with pan artist konrad sprenger on a modular organ system to be installed in museums, or scoring for a neue musik ensemble, the berlin-based efdemin is known as hiker between the worlds . his regular stints at berghain or panoramabar, his partnership with established labels (e.g. ostgut ton, dial, sushitech) and the leadership of his own na•f imprint all demonstrate that since more than a decade.

copenhagen, the new album from stillhead mixes experimental, cinematic and futuristic dub, glimpses of drum & bass and his trademark deep, expansive, intricate sound. immersive and wide-screen electronica meets ultra-tight percussion with a variety of vocals peppered throughout. alongside a full album of original tracks, there are a host of incredible remixes which bring the sounds of stillhead that little closer to the dance floor. bop, hatti vatti, versa, tonik ensemble, mr. roque, generate, other spectrum and another channel all bring their unique sounds and production genius to the table taking their remixes in a range of new directions. the album is stillheadÕs document of his year spent living in the danish capital.

diese zusammenstellung ist gewisserma?en der soundtrack zur ausstellung -soul of a nation: art in the the age of black power-, die 2017 sowohl in der londoner tate gallery als auch im new yorker brooklyn museum gezeigt wird. dabei geht die kompilation den einfl?ssen nach, welche die b?rgerrechtsbewegung und der schwarze nationalismus im gefolge von martin luther king, malcolm x und der black panther party gegen ende der sechzigerjahre auf radikale afroamerikanische musikentw?rfe in den usa hatten. zu den von soul jazz pr¤sentierten k?nstlern gehüren ikonen wie gil scott-heron, roy ayers, don cherry, oneness of juju, sarah webster fabio, horace tapscott und phil ranelin. deren werke illustrieren, wie politische themen zur entwicklung einer -conscious black music- f?hrte, in der verschiedene popul¤re afrozentrische stile dieser umbruchszeit kulminierten - die radikale spiritualit¤t john coltranes, der radikale avantgardismus eines sun ra, james-brown-funk, der soul aretha franklins und urbane proto-rap-poesie der metropolen. wie f?r soul jazz typisch kommt das ganze opulent ausgestattet mit umfassenden begleittexten und exklusiven fotografien.

Ôjoy is bbfs fourth album and the first one to be truly vocalist-focused and song-centric. with the help of canadian poet-singer beaver sheppard who played an prominent role the composition, bbf explore what the band-members describe as Ôpost-religious themes, such as struggling to find joy in times of uncertainty and instability. this makes it without any doubt bbfs Ônietzsche album. following on from their latest album Ômiami (2013) bbf keeps moving away from the dark mood of their early releases and the image of a Ôclassical new music ensemble to resemble more closely an Ôexperimental rock band. with much more grit and growl than before, they draw upon genres and styles that are not conventionally associated with joy: krautrock, punk, drumnbass, indie rock, new wave, and pretty much every other Ô-wave from the 80s. with each track offering a contrasting combination of styles and genres, bff succeed in devoting a whole album to a single feeling without making it either monotone or clichŽ. instead, they build on euphoria to expand and enrich electronic musics emotional range

on limited edition compact disc. part two of atom tms minimalist, ambient magnum opus, airdrops you into a void of undulating sonic modulation with nothing but the dream of silent huskies for company. schmidt has always been a maestro of harnessing non-repetitive repetition and on texturen ii he takes that to a psychedelic extreme, constructing a smooth within the stereo field. almost imperceptible sheets of binary sleet superimpose themselves on flows of deep, glacial pulse-width gestures. the ensemble is minimal but ever-fluctuating, expansive but hyper-detailed. a frozen mirage. here, the vistas are endless, the peaks illusory, the troughs few and the symmetries pure. eat your rations, try to keep moving and dont go snow blind.

derzeit existiert ein hype um den in manchester geborenen und in london ansässigen dj/produzenten sam shepherd. als dj legt er besten house, techno, soul und disco auf. als produzent elektronischer musik mit klassischer ausbildung beherrscht er die wunderbare kunst, eine äußerst organische fusion aus jazz, klassik, electronica, soul und brasilianischer musik zu kreieren, die er mit einem 11 bis 16 köpfigen ensemble auch so beeindruckend live vorführt, dass einem der atem stockt. zu seinen fans zählen four tet, theo parrish und kode 9. nach seinen aussagen kulminiert in seinem debütalbum elaenia alles, was er bislang musikalisch geleistet hat. jedes dj-set, das er spielte, jedes talent, das er produzierte und jede komposition, die er bislang schrieb, sind vorboten dieses werkes.

theres a common thread that runs through all of brandt brauer fricks music. it is this: interesting things happen at the interface of machine and hand-made music. the berlin trios 2010 album, you make me real, fused techno and classical. the 2011 follow-up, mr machine, saw them go the whole classical-meets-club hog with a ten-piece ensemble playing dance music live. then, earlier this year, came miami, a darker, more song-based collection exploring the same man-machine ideas.
