oberman knocks original version (white) is a laid-back affair housed within a glassy place of worship, echoing with monastic vocals, strings, wind instruments and field recordings, which are offset by synthetic beats, funk bass and entwined sleazy vocals.
in contrast autechres remix (black), panning out at just over 17 minutes long, is everything that you wouldd expect from the duo – a frantic, fractured and detailed to within an inch of its life piece, that has no need to build, but instead unravels and mutates into what is an unmistakable autechre crescendo.
whilst both versions play out at opposite ends of the tempo spectrum, what connects them is that they are both emotional machine music with guts and vigour.

ein album im sinne klassischer songwritertraditionen. natürlich angereichert mit anleihen an ihre detail-versessene und floor-berauschende aneignung von house, aber überdeutlich zu einem in sich geschlossenen sound-kapitel verdichtet. es ist ein album, das neben der kooperation mit bostons e-funk wizard tanner ross auf zwei stücken vor allem in zusammenarbeit mit dem englischen sänger und musiker chris james entstand. james, der unter anderem auch mit seiner band stateless auf ninja tune und !k7 veröffentlicht, hat einen wesentlichen anteil an der strahlkraft dieses albums. seine wärmende stimme und seine intuitive entwicklung von gesangsarrangements fruchteten augenblicklich mit den vorstellungen der berliner produzenten und so erarbeiteten sie letztendlich elf gemeinsame stücke ...

following his well received fabric mix comp in december 2013, ben sims returns to his own theory imprint with yet another ring release in the form of *reflection*, which features two original new tracks, a remix from rod and a vinyl exclusive. the eponymous opener is a strident, 909 + 707 driven affair that fuses overlapping, stereoscopic tones to a gently distorted and brutalist groove that sits somewhere between dance mania and detroit. *break glass* is the second original on offer and has been a heavily requested track for the past few months. the perfect partner to *reflection*, *break glass* is similarly overdriven but heavy on the sort of mechanical funk that sims does so well. rods version of *reflection* is a linear assault which ebbs and ows with purpose throughout a linear and intense arrangement while sims remix of *break glass* zeros in on bone rattling percussive aesthetics and vox samples, in much demand after featuring on his fabric mix cd.

with this second ep, the access affirms his love for a deep-house tinged soul and funk, but adds a few more sophisticated ingredients, with four tracks with singular universe for each night time.

marco bernardi has enjoyed a long an illustrious career, but its probably in these last couple of years that the glaswegian producer has found his sound. previous releases on frustrated funk, clone, royal oak, creme organisation, futureboogie and rawax have built a solid reputation, and key releases last year on carl craigs planet e and mos/delsin have sealed his rep as a unique player in the industry.

for l/b014 bulgarian musical genius and painter cooh aka ivan shopov has found time in his busy schedule to cook up 4 tunes that show his amazing versatility and cunning production skills. ranging from the trapped out influences of duuure vip, the remix of a legendary tune which was originally released on position chrome in 2008 and changed hard drum&bass forever, to the broken beats of propast and stunningly avant-garde sunshine units (a current favorite of the panacea & the l/b family), he switches effortlessly to the neuro-funk influenced raised in the sky, a collaboration with c.a.2k. from russia, who recently has had a run of strong releases himself.

bolder is martin maischein who used to record as henrich at hart on position chrome and peter votava also known as pure who has recorded previously for mego and was half of ilsa gold. with their combined background in electronic music of all angles bolder introduces a significant proposition to the current experimental electronic boom. blurring the lines between industrial, techno, dub, ambient and narrative forms, the work on bolders debut presents a dance amongst the abyss, a world where organic rhythms provide the path amongst a swarm of foreboding electronics. herein lurks an atmosphere where hostile electronics weigh the hope and paranoia of todays climate. one humans listen is another humans challenge.

berliners dirk leyers and nomad expressed their hard earned musical freedom in a dogma: the use of a roland tr-808 analog drum machine in every single track. they programmed the machine to lay poly-rhythms over multicultural drum and percussion tracks, fascinated -and sometimes puzzled- by its own characteristically sudden swing and accent changes, and named it: africaine 808 - their third and first female band member. in the first year of their musical joint venture, the three spent quite some time in remixing and editing some of their favourite african and island funk tunes, transforming the old gold into modern dj and dancefloor friendly tunes. the sound of organic grooves mixed with 808-beats and analogue synthesizer basslines became soon a trademark sound, and more and more samples got replaced by live played guitar, bass, organ and percussion. the trio experimented with different tempos and styles ranging from slow cumbia and exotic rumba themes to island-funk and percussive disco, electro and house. in spring 2012 they first took the project to another level, turning their tracks into a full live act at one of the vulkandance nights in berlin. today the project is growing and integrating guest musicians, drummers, percussionists and vocalists - for live performances as well as for recording in the studio. 100% sonic voodoo golf channel every time!
