die erste platte besteht aus edits, verschlungenen loops, perkussiven beats und fesselnden grooves - eine synthese aus ineinander verschlungenen erinnerungen. es ist ein experiment, eine suche nach bedeutungen - eine bescheidene hommage an die genres, die mich geprägt haben, und an die künstler, die meine inspiration immer wieder beflügeln.

der zweite teil ist meine persönliche geschichte und meine erinnerungen, oder besser gesagt, fragmente davon. es geht um meine heimatstadt jekaterinburg, die teufel aus dem uralgebirge, die von überall her in meine persönlichkeit eindringen, die zeit in moskau, die meine widerstandskraft gestärkt hat, und das kapitel des umzugs nach spanien auf der suche nach einem helleren horizont. dies sind nur bruchstücke von erinnerungen, dank derer ich hier und jetzt bin.

loop tape cutting technique at his best...

dark entries and sacred bones team up to release the early discography of uk synth-punk and deathrock label outer himmalayan records. between 1979 and 1982, nick blinko and martin cooper?s outer himmalayan records released 7-inches by three short-lived bands ? the magits, soft drinks, and s-haters ? who would nonetheless cast a massive shadow on the uk?s burgeoning post-punk/anarcho punk scene.

next up on dabj, hissman aka fabio monesi is an artist we have been massive fans of since we started playing nobodys talking which featured on our 2014 dabj bbc radio 1 essential mix a few years back. through his labels hardmoon and wilson records, he has brought some of the freshest jams to our ears in quite some time. for his first outing on dabj, shit gets real. masterfully crafted mechanized, rough, tough techno belters in that inimitable hissmanstyle... dont sleep on this.

eshu, the production collective and record label from nijmegen are back with their next offering. their 12th release is a various artists release that features blm, joburg and steven siwalette alongside label members ivano tetelepta and jocelyn abell. it comes on the heels of teteleptas absorbing dub techno album, senang, and is another high class offering. nijmegen based siwalette is first, previously contributed to the label as part of sys. his stragglers is a sparse but atmospheric track with industrial drones and slowly turning drums taking you through a desolate factory late at night. his second offering is alien encounter which is just as it sounds - a spooky, unsettling bit of cinematic sound design with menacing bass and icy pads all growing in loudness until they eventually consume your mind. lastly on the a-side, uk producer and fear of flying label boss blm lays down a skeletal groove thats embellished with beautiful, yawning synths. scattered little details and fx making this a cavernous piece that encourages your mind to wander and get lost. on the flip, jocelyn abell and ivano tetelepta cook up a heavyweight, mid tempo bit of dub techno with sharp hits and rolling kicks lulling you into a trance. last of all, the emerging j?burg picks up the pace with a perfectly chiselled bit of rock solid dub with looping drums and icy hi hats sinking you deep into its midst. this is an excellent ep that packs in a range of fascinating sounds for both the home and the club.

antique fragments ep is the third release of our kommuna tapes imprint. the a side starts with a quirky fast-paced track created by a mysterious producer named schematix in 1997. thinktank, an electro/breakbeat act who signed his first and unique ep only a few years later in 2000, takes us on a punchy yet dreamy techno journey. on the flip side, after schematix undusted his hardware to extract the stems for the occasion, wizard sergio moreira mastered the challenge of creating a slower and deeper version of the track, while upcoming madrid talent javier moreno closes the release with a bouncy acid burner. track by track, we build a kommuna of artists who share our insatiable appetite for music discovery, guided by a certain vision of the dancefloor: deep stripped-down grooves, sometimes challenging, always with character.

no light at the end of the tunnel. no helping hand to pull you out of the hole. no second chances. no god to cure this deadly disease. no heaven to save your soul after your final seconds... hope will hold on, but in the end, death shall claim it. all this, we understand a little more, day by day.
we will experience our absolute zero, and the stages of life that come as close. we think that we will never recover and that we are not strong enough to fight against it. our immaculate, peaceful souls, that we begin our lives with, start to bleed, and slowly get torn into, bit by bit by the cold hard truth that breaks our protective walls. we learn to handle and accept this even as pieces of us shatter and die every time a little bit more inside us. to give light, we must endure burning. but what if everything we are able to burn is gone?
there is no other way... we are falling apart a bit more, every day.

new label back to the balearics follow up the superb maricopa ep with a stunner from berlin based live music collective spleen. part one in their musical odyssey *fusionary* consists of live jams and instrumentation over computer-based syncopation, their music has a strange yet organic flow to it, which is both hypnotic and rhythmic. think kraut influenced, psychedelic dub funk with a touch of alt pop and you will be on the right road, but still miles away. music is better than words ... spleen prove that. limited edition vinyl with beautiful printed sleeves.
