der wiener produzent & synthie-zauberer dorian concept veršffentlicht sein brainfeeder-lonplayer-debŸt! seit der vešffentlichung seines albums joined ends im jahr 2014 trat dorian concept Ÿberall auf, von glastonbury Ÿber s—nar bis hin zu moma ps1 s warm up, und bewegte sich fortan bewusst unterhalb des radars. seither hat er die zeit damit verbracht, sich von seinem eigentlich wunderbaren produktionsprozess zu verabschieden und stattdessen einen brandneuen sound zu entwickeln, mit dem so niemand rechnen kann. inspiriert vom eklektizismus zahlreicher musikgenerationen (60er-jazz, 70er-fusion, 80er-neo-prog-rock, 90er-electronica), versuchte dorian concept, moderne musikelemente mit altmodischen methoden zu replizieren, live zu spielen und tŠuschend digitale klŠnge im dienste einer ironischen parodie der nostalgie aufzunehmen. erwartungsgemŠ§ ist das ergebnis aller kalkulierten und konzeptuellen †berlegung zum trotz erfrischend unprŠtentišs: schwindelerregende crescendi, kakophone brŸche und formidable rhythmen sind sowohl fachkundig produziert als auch kindlich, hyperaktiv und hyperfokussier

alles ist eins. eins ist null. das album 360 formt eine unspaltbare fusion von dialekt und unbŠndiger reimgewalt, einen spiegel der multiplen gesichter von wirklichkeit, einen vollkommenen kreis inmitten der sechsecke. angelehnt an buddhismus und asiatische kampfkŸnste findet sich der hšrer in ein zusammenspiel von achtsamkeit, disziplin, yin und yang, reduktion, askese, wachsamkeit, wiederholung und kšnnen wieder. die zwei brŸder entfesseln geballte energie und entfŸhren einen mit quantensprŸngen in den hyperraum.

re-issued again, with new liner notes. a wonderful, rare record wrapped in a mysterious yet playful ambiance. or maybe it s just the impression that the japanese language often gives me. suiren is an odd jazz-fusion-wave tune that sounds like its boiling, waiting to burst but somehow manages to stay in control. like the nervous tick of a leg fidgeting under the table of a restaurant on a first date. yasuaki shimizu is a japanese composer, producer and saxophone player born in 1954. he worked with ryuchi sakimoto on certain arrangements, with the south korean artist nam june paik on art+sound installation pieces and even dj towa tei (of deee-lite fame). suiren was released in 1981 and is the opening title on the sought-after kakashi album and is my personal favorite on this overall brilliant record. it weaves behind new wave, jazz, fusion, ambient and experimental music.

energie pur! kanadisches fusion-kollektiv zŸndet die nŠchste groove-rakete.
das sechskšpfige souljazz orchestra aus ottawa ist fŸr ein orchester zwar etwas klein geraten, dafŸr fallen spielfreude und selbstverstŠndnis auf sympathische weise grš§er aus. seit 2002 ist das politisch sendungsbewusste sextett in der originalbesetzung unterwegs, und wurde dabei schon dreimal fŸr den kanadischen juno award nominiert. ihre lyrisch starken texte verpacken die kanadier vielseitig und multilingual mit 80er-vintage-synthies in tropische lo-fi-tanznummern, die von einflŸssen aus soul, ethio-jazz, sixties-funk, afrobeats und latin zehren. 2007 gelang der band mit -mista president- ein internationaler club-hit, der nicht nur das interesse von gilles peterson weckte, sondern auch die tŸr zum label strut (mulatu astatke, ebo taylor, idris ackamor & the pyramids) šffnete. dort erschienen die alben -rising sun- (2010), -solidarity- (2012), -inner fire- (2013) und zuletzt -resistance- (2015). in dieser zeit kam es zu kollaborationen mit musikern von nigeria bis ruanda und kuba bis haiti. bei seinen zahlreichen ausverkauften shows teilte sich das kollektiv die bŸhne mit musikalischen schwergewichten wie femi kuti, stevie wonder und bob dylan. auch -under burning skies- zeichnet sich durch einen passionierten, analog produzierten groove-mix aus, der einfach nur glŸcklich macht.

for their first multi-artist compilation, music from memory take us on a trip to the heart of the amazon rainforest. outro tempo: electronic and contemporary music from brazil, 1978-1992 is a double lp that explores the outer reaches of brazilian music, where indigenous rhythms mix with synthesizers and where mpb mingles with drum computers. as brazil faced the last years of its military dictatorship and transition to democracy, a generation of forward-thinking musicians developed an alternative vision of brazilian music and culture. they embraced traditionally shunned electronic production methods and infused their music with elements of ambient, jazz-fusion, and minimalism. at the same time they referenced the musical forms and spirituality of indigenous tribes from the amazon. the music they produced was a complex and mesmerising tapestry that vividly evoked brazilian landscapes and simultaneously reached out to the world beyond its borders.

a leading figure of the contemporary electronic world, jamie odell aka jimpster sets his sights firmly back on the album format with this beautifully crafted long-player, silent stars. a self-confessed creature of the night, the freerange records and delusions of grandeur boss taps into his nocturnal and escapist impulses to deliver a superbly executed modern-day fusion album. his seventh studio album and first since 2013Õs highly-acclaimed porchlight and rocking chairs, this is an album dedicated to the nocturnal hours. silent stars is a richly textured ride through the tapestry of house, from jazz-infused opener ÔmigrationsÕ through to the dense, orchestral euphoria of Ôtau tonaÕ and the minimal, percussive bounce of title track Ôsilent starsÕ. the listener edges a touch closer to the dancefloor on tracks like ÔyansaÕ and Ôpower of the doofÕ - yet the grooves stay subtle with intricate percussion, dense sound design and a mischievous streak being palpable throughout. a range of guests are welcomed by jimpster across silent stars. hotly-tipped londoner florence rawlings adds her vocals on ÔcraveÕ and ÔeverytimeÕ. past collaborator and member of kirk degiorgioÕs the beauty room, jinadu weaves emotional soul on album centerpiece Ôthe sun comes upÕ. khalil anthony lends his vocals on Ôwhere you areÕ and leading session drummer andy gangadeen (massive attack, chase & status, the bays) lays down his immense beats on Ôtau tonaÕ. jimpster is a true veteran of the global house scene, a custodian of the authentic deep house sound and a producer who has quietly created some of the most reflective and sophisticated electronic music

ÒqueenÓ is an organic album consisting out of two parts. first part unravels into a story told through the fusion of strong classical influences, nu jazz, down-tempo electronica, indie & house. itÕs destined to captivate attention with the emphasis on feeling through listening. second part on the other hand is oriented towards feeling through movement and better reflects the side of ten walls known to the dancefloors. this album as one piece, just divided into two physical cdÕs. the package of the album looks like a book - a piece of art. the book includes photos, reflecting each track. Òi have pictured these musical pieces in my mind, as itÕs natural for the artist to exceed the professional competence and search for additional forms that would supplement your work, making it single piece of art.Ó - adds marijus (ten walls). the combination of arts is a very important thing to be noticed, each of them has itÕs space, place and role in the album. poetry and lyrics, photography / visual arts and music, altogether they make ÒqueenÓ more than just a music album. ten walls also made collaborations with very wide and different spectrum of musicians during the creation of his debut album ÒqueenÓ. renowned maestro petras geniu_as, good old friend vytautas sondeckis who contributed with a cello masterpiece, bass guitar domas aleksa, drummer marijus aleksa, singers jonatan bŠckelie, alx , monika liu, marijusÕ spiritual friend and teacher andrew, conductor ri?ardas _umila and nonet performers

ever since first appearing on bristol s black acre imprint back in 2009, kwesi darko s blue daisy project has been hard to pin down. 2011 debut album the sunday gift was a triumph of woozy downtempo fusion, with bustling bass music influences rubbing shoulders with folksy elements, ambient, trip-hop and experimental electronica. following black acre s demise, darko now finds himself on r&s, a label willing to let him follow his unique path. as a result, sophomore album darker than blue is an even more adventurous and enjoyable set than its predecessor, with darko adding modern classical, beat poetry and hazy jazz influences to his already heady musical brew.
