continuing a sublime run of form for the label, the fourth outing on the lopasura imprint, is yet another classy trio of heady, analogue machine laden masterpieces. opening up with “out of the fog’, the familiar acidic arpeggio and crisp hits we’ve grown to love from benedikt frey, dance unwittingly along before being opened up by long, cinematic pads drenching the track with an emotion and grandeur so synonymous with his music. complimenting the a side, the looming intent ‘wolves’ adopts from the off evolves quickly into a driving, hypnotic and beautifully crafted piece that’s a true heads down, eyes-shut techno battle weapon. rounding off the ep on the b side is the exceptional ‘lights’. an unsettling, caliginous whir of industrial drones balances the tribal, percussive elements almost depicting a lost ship crashing over the swells of the ocean as it clings on to futile hope of finding the lighthouse. it meanders and threatens before an incredible synth hook ebbs in and takes over momentarily, before calmly simmering as the storm passes. never before has love pain sunshine and rain been more perfectly encompassed.

the „continuum 1991-1998“ white label series brings back the euphoria of the early days and remind us what techno sounded like before dogmatic blueprints, taking us into claustrophobic basements where boundaries were broken up in blinding flashes of strobe light.

nice price deal !!! the escape series proudly presents the next slice of wax featuring 4 brilliant artists and their stunning sounds. first up is a fresh cut from the americanborn veteran elbee bad, >supa kewl<. the track draws its energy from a bustling percussive atmosphere, pulling inspiration from the depths of tech, house, and a rich history of musical expertise. carrying the torch further, duererstuben drops another dancefloor-mover titled >tush & harsh<. the track plays just about as you’d expect from its titling, making for an extraordinary dance track full of deep groove and a thick atmosphere to bounce the night away. rising suns takes an afterhour atmosphere and throws is thick groove under it, giving a glorious euphoria as >flying in the wind< turns out to be the perfect title. and finally, freund der famillie crafts a breathtaking journey into dub-tech territory. >grand rue< holds back in its delivery, slowly dripping onto itself and its true, brooding form.

juan atkins and moritz von oswald – the two indispensable protagonists of the electric garden – plug back into the wilderness. ‘transport’ – the new full length effort of the borderland collaborative project – brings together a new set of studio-refined sequences aimed at colonizing some of the dark energy that pulsates through those areas that are thoroughly electrified, even if not ‘on the grid’. ‘riod’ is the first streak to bolt through. the detroit-berlin axis triangulates to a third point which, like the atomic particle that lives in two places at once, flickers between a form of techno-charged ambience and a futuristic club-jazz which cannot be broken down into constitutive parts. borderland remains caught in a state of enraptured stillness, invisibly moving between every imagined future for electronic sound making. the result: a font from which springs serene and exhilarating musical ideas that vibrate with refined energy for sixty seconds in every minute.
the vinyl release includes a download code.

two tracks from a brand new (second in a row) ep by warsaw-based duo tumult hands fully illustrate paradoxical approach of jacek sienkiewicz and jurek przeŸdziecki to the creation of a common integrated form. spontaneous compositional decisions and minute sound interventions are contrasted here with a persistent precision of rhythms generated by both musicians in a reality of an inter-studio space, in moments of an encounter, sometimes, fully controlled collision, of two worlds. full of inner rigour and logic (record is a prime example of modern functionalist music), although teeming with fantasy and flourish, tumult hands current explorations also announce duos full-length lp, soon to be released through recognition records.

fresh from his recent outing as hesperius draco, alessandro parisi is casting off for his debut on charlois. the italian is setting out his stall with a five tracker. honeyed bars are cut by sharp percussion as the brooding -meduna waves- opens. space soaked synthlines coil around a pulsing drum for the slow burning -cosmica 1999.- the flip sees a wave edge enter. cascading chords and a bolstered beats form the pain streaked beauty of -fear and money never had.- -exhibition of love- is brimming with meaty snares biting into thick strings combined in a power filled piece. parisi illustrates his enviable talent throughout, a talent that comes to the fore with the arpeggiated intensity of -virtualand.-

die musikwelt war hochgespannt, als nach zehnjähriger pause ein neues new order album erscheinen sollte. dass der inzwischen fünfköpfigen band mit -music complete- aber ein solcher -return to form- (spex) gelingen würde, haben so einige nicht mehr erwartet. der nun vorliegenden, neuen new order-single -singularity- attestierte der musikexpress zudem, sie würde einiges der -blue monday--dna in sich tragen. und in der tat ist der song mit seiner einmaligen balance aus rock und elektronik, dunkel, energiegeladen und tanzbar, die perfekte sound-symbiose von ursprungsband joy division und der sich hier auftürmenden, grunderneuerten new order.

the first spinning plates ep back in february was picked up by print media and radio tastemakers from ra and dj mag to b.traits and moxie, whilst djs as diverse as ivan smagghe and francois k slotted it into their dj bags. as such there has been much demand for a second release, and now it arrives in the form of a fascinating split ep from scene veteran andy rantzen and relative newcomer bruno schmidt, who helps a&r for the label. in fact it was bruno who came across andy’s tracks during a late night youtube session. andy, who remixed inxs and severed heads back in the day and is a sydney based producer who has been active for three decades, had upped a load of his old demos to youtube in the faint hope that one day someone might find them. and damn are we happy he did, because they are brilliant affairs that sound like little else. for his part, bruno has been a louche resident and hifi creator alongside andrew james gustav and gwenan and delivers an exceptional stripped down late night trip/early morning trip.

mit der veröffentlichung der 12 inch * accolade* ist der startschuss für ein neues label gefallen. empore music ist in kiel beheimatet und hat sich die produktion amtlicher house- und techno-produktionen auf die fahnen geschrieben. sehr begrüßenswert, von guter tanzmusik kann die welt nie genug bekommen! wie es gemacht wird, demonstriert uns gleich einmal avidus mit einem variantenreichen 3-tracker. hinter avidus verbergen sich fritz wagner und marc wolf. sie verbindet neben einer langjährigen freundschaft auch eine tiefe leidenschaft für elektronische tanzmusik und vinyl. was lag also näher, form und inhalt miteinander zu kombinieren und parallel zur band gleich die veröffentlichungsplattform empore music ins leben zu rufen? gesagt, getan. und so verdanken wir den beiden zum neuen vinyl auch gleich ein neues label.
