for living003, dub kult has decided to pull together some of his own best productions to make the killer four-track >one world ep<. this ep has, arguably, more of a dance floor focus than previous eps on living, but maintains enaough trippiness for all but the most dedicated noodle heads..

"this ep combines different periods of time. oldschool and newschool elements is the key element of a modern production, no matter if its nasa or both legends acquaviva & lützenkirchen to deliver a masterpiece that is functional in every possible way. sirens and oldschool stabs on one side, combined with electronic fierceness and drumming madness. the b-side "hurt me" is more agressive, sawtooth sounds modulating through every spectrum of frequencies. at least one will get your ears bleeding or just the mind blowing if youre lucky enough to survive. cologne based producer pierce gives the >satellite< original a new face with his remix. long synth build ups, reduced drumming and massive compression focus on the basic needs and desires of a rocking dancefloor: to celebrate a break, a melody and to freak out when it starts at zero again"

first outing for tejada and maxwell since 2005’s largely successful >100% post-consumer< track. the duo best known for 2004’s >mind bend< single strikes again with a 4 tracker of stripped down ultra phat analog tracks. in a time when much of techno is losing it’s focus and being replaced by soft bubbly, busy, trance like mutations, the guys saw it fit to return to a more honest approach with their beats.

connect four records is the new sub-label of tic tac toe records. weve established it to focus on all the brilliant sounds in the deep minimal house neighbourhood – and after 2 very successful releases, were now ready to give you the fabulous 3rd – this time from turkish newcomer murat Özer. murat was born in istanbul/turkey in 1977 and fell in love with music at such an early age that hes forgotten when. he started out his active musician-ship in the 90s as a bassist at a junior high rock band then went on as a guitarist and finally as a drummer in various jazz & rock bands. however, since his childhood, bands like >depeche mode<, >tears for fears<, >spandau ballet<, >human league< and such have always drawn his attention towards electronic music

a new drift is emerging from america and she s in the middle of it: kate iwanowicz aka miskate is not only co-founder of the highly respected foundsound-label from philadelphia, but also a high-definition producer in its own right. after several ep s on her s and others labels like microcosm records she now pays a visit to karloff to expand her boundaries and fuelling the eclectic cut-up-funk she s already known for with solid, defined beats, boosting the focus on the dancefloor as another target to be aimed at. however the steady drive obtains the required substance through interspersed well-crafted distractions like filleted choirs and hymnal strings, constantly winding through the structure and blazing it up. brilliantly reflective and ecstatic at the same time this record gives you more than just a seasonal tempest in a teapot

clink003 is the long awaited solo production debut by camea. this hard working female dj and producer brings her musical perspective to the digital audio massive with three strong, artistic and variant tunes on this e.p. the titled track, wire tap, can be described as nothing less than 8 minutes of peak hour minimal techno, influenced by star producers like audion and sleeparchive. from the suspenseful and clicky start of this tune it is obvious that camea s focus is to tap into the wires on the dance floor and give attentive audiences a run for their money

excellent 3 track ep from nick douglas here on wallop recordings with the label edging towards more electro based sounds than its usual plain progressive and tribal leanings

behind the name >vism< stands an east-german graffitti-projekt,that was founded 10years ago. as there was the possibility to make a record for winsome music of course we couldnt say no. the fruit >win 005< is moderatly doleful, sometimes playful, with emphasis on the base, but the main focus is minimalized to the essentials.the record with its haunted synths is redoled of grandmas old spine-chillers

electrik bugg is a new record label based in the techno mecca that is crawley, uk. set up with the sole purpose of releasing limited run vinyl with limited information, the label s >no frills< attitude forces the listener to focus on the key issue here, which is of course the music. drawing from influences past and present, the producers involved (who s backgrounds range from familiar to the unknown) have been influenced by the classic early techno such as black dog, carl craig, kirk degiorgio ao, and the music portrays these influences blatantly. deeper shades of techno which sounds very analogue in production focusing on a more intriguing percussion style than your average…(some of the drum programming here is down right stunning). both 12inch come as white labels with an e-bugg stamp. volume 1 is yellow and volume 2 is black…chec

2x12inch great tiga >all i need is to be dubbed< and mathew jonson mixes, axwell vocal and mhc extended mix

.for fans of farben & jan jelinek...for the last two years tillmann ehrhorn has concentrated his efforts on a solo project in electronic music ( releases and collaborations on mille plateaux and with frank brettschneider, as well as continuing to work as a jazz musician.) since samplers and synthesizers are the only source of sound in his electronic music, it evolves in a completely different way to jazz and improvised music, the major focus being the development of the individual elements of sound and their function within the composition

the prodig s seventh studio album, no tourists will be released on their take me to the hospital label via bmg. in a career approaching 30 unpredictable, uncompromising years, the prodigy have become that rare artist whose influence can be felt across all walks of life. continually defining (and re-defining) electronic music, the band have clocked up a staggering 6 number 1 albums, played to many millions around the world, and remain as relevant and respected as ever. though much has changed in the musical and social landscape, what remains a constant is the prodigy s resolute focus on following their own path, their own way. this, perhaps, is the true meaning of no tourists , and in 2018 the anger, urgency, and irrepressible spirit of the prodigy has no doubt never been more needed

der londoner dj/produzent dimension (aka robert etheridge) schaffte schon zu beginn seiner karriere den spagat zwischen underground, radio und club und erlangte so die aufmerksamkeit von grš§en wie andy c, sub focus, chase & status, aber auch skrillex und deadmau5. sein aus 56(!) tracks bestehendes fabric-set ist eine mit kreativitŠt, energie und sensibilitŠt erstellte blaupause des drum n bass-status 2018 und enthŠlt 22 exclusives sowohl von protagonisten des genres, als auch von aufstrebenden jungtalenten. feat. chase & status, sub focus, calyx & teebee, metrik, dossa & locuzzed, benny l, u.v.a.

extraordinary pieces of music have long stood in direct correlation to the physical surroundings that inspire them. when oliver koletzki and niko schwind packed up their berlin studios last april to spend a month locked away in a cottage nestled in the stunning nature of cape towns noordhoek area before heading to afrikaburn, little did they know that its long beaches, dramatic mountain views and the heritage of its indigenous people would have such a profound effect on the club-ready sound they had championed with a string of eps and live-performances since 2015. the result of four weeks of geo-cultural stimuli and creative experimentation culminated in the album noordhoek, released in may 2018 on stil vor talent. while the productions on noordhoek display the same on-point sound design of previous oliver koletzki and niko schwind releases, the impressive emotional depth and electronic floor-focus of its twelve tracks effortlessly merge with complex rhythmic textures to form a contemporary narrative on ancient dance rituals. after a roller coaster ride through twelve versatile yet coherent productions, one thing is certain as the ultimate crack of thunder crashes down on noordhoek: south africa fuelled the creative energy of two remarkable musicians, who where able to translate the abundance of their impressions into a truly original world of sound.

with ÈredsuperstructureÇ, robert lippok created a new foundation for his musical endeavors. now Ð 7 years later Ð this system properly comes to life on Èapplied autonomyÇ. the title of the new album is a clear indicator as to what the berlin-based producer has been up to during the last couple of years, both on a conceptual level as well as how he molds his ideas into tracks. Èapplied autonomyÇ orchestrates a certain state of frantic standstill, which occurs once a structure is set. has this state been reached, the artist is free to focus on other equally important aspects, balancing the various shades, pushing ideas even further to really make them shine and blossom in their self-declared autonomy. the more light one lets in, the more layers become visible. layers are key when it comes to understanding Èapplied autonomyÇ. big chunks of the material with which the album has been produced derive from sketches specifically made for a club performance. rather than meticulously devising each and every detail, lippok focussed instead on recording as many fragments as possible in a short period of time, elements which he could later combine and layer on stage. based on this material and his experience experimenting with it in a live environment, the album slowly began to shape. an album culminating in a collaboration with klara lewis, with whom lippok spent 2 days at the ems studios in stockholm, approaching the idea of autonomy from yet another angle. during the session, both musicians played and performed simultaneously, yet not explicitly together, lost in their own thoughts and ideas, only subconsciously taking in what the other one was coming up with. the result is ÈsamtalÇ, 14 minutes of a constantly evolving state of poise, magically connecting all the dots lippok had already defined as Èapplied autonomyÇ. the artwork for Èapplied autonomyÇ has been created by the berlin-based argentinian artist luca gutierrez. over the last couple of years, he has made a name for himself with his spectacular av performances.

uppermost will be releasing his upcoming album with a completely new perspective that should change the course of his career, expanding to a brand new pop oriented approach but keeping his french signature at the core of the project. his previous hit tracks flashback and beautiful light have already generated more than 27 million combined streams across platforms, while mercedes-benz selected uppermost single disco kids to be featured in their formula one advertising campaign and starz/encore chose another of his instrumentals for their 2018 tv spot only few weeks ago. uppermost is being closely followed by international media leading to great articles from influent press channels such as djmag, vice, complex, paper magazine, and famous radios such as bbc 1 and virgin. in addition to releasing music via his own independent label uppwind records, uppermost has released music through powerful labels such as sony and ministry of sound and done official remixes for dada life, lemaitre and crystal fighters. he has also already shared french festival solidayss stage with madeon, yelle, fakear and die antwoord.

in the mid 90s, while playing in bands, max wŸrden started to record ideas on 4-track tapes. amongst other instruments the guitar was his favourite. since then the guitar is a steady constant during his sound production. predominantly he utilizes the intrument in experimental ways: he sticks screws and metal pieces between the strings or let s marbles run down the guitar neck, triggering a feedback, which becomes the foundation of a track. on his album momentum he went beyond the guitar, but he placed the intrument into focus of the production. max creates energyladen and experimental ambient music that always aims for what genre listeners looking for: the ultimate relaxation moment. the tracks are carried by slowly building string-generated sounds. live recordings and complex arrangements find a delicate symbiosis of ambient and strings.

framed by two spoken word samples and wrapped in house and techno emotions, that know about electro and 90Õs electronica too: the new, second album of the leipzig and berlin based producer and live artist martin enke aka lake people moves in a fresh way. this time he shifts towards a focus on the essentials of electronic club music: sounds and groove, rough and playful interweaved with the aesthetic particles of techno. with his Òpoint epÓ, released on the berlin based imprint krakatau records in late 2012, his creative life as a producer for melancholic driven club tunes took off. several top notch djs played the tune Òpoint in timeÓ, lake people started to tour world-wide with his mesmerizing live set and produced countless remixes for colleagues from all around the globe. in 2015 he finally released his first album Òpurposely uncertain fieldÓ on the munich based label permanent vacation and delivered eleven tracks at the interface of techno, ambient, experimental and electronic, that bewitch with hymnal chords, yearningly melodies, detailed production, elaborate sound design and an overall introspective, emotive feeling. now, just shortly after he published a fresh ep on the dresden based imprint uncanny valley, lake people drops Òphase transitionÓ, a new album consisting of ten haunting tracks full of dance suspense. he recorded all between 2016 and early 2017 on various vintage analog synthesizers, uad and other creative interfaces. to find out if his latest pure slamming tracks work deep, he tried them out during his live shows in order to catch some new ideas directly from the dance floor.
