multicast dynamics returns to astral industries for ai-26, this time collaborating with sid hille, the german born, finland based instrumentalist and composer. ‘metamorphosis’ transmutes both artists’ unique styles into a synergistic blend of transportive storytelling, a delicate dance of light and dark.divided into two parts, ’metamorphosis’ originates from a live performance recorded at temppeliaukio church in helsinki on march 2nd, 2019. the material was then edited, where hille’s soothing keyboard work and haunting passages on the theremin, combine with processed textures and desolate sonic backdrops from dijk. in this voyage beyond space and time, the subtle dialogue reveals new and perhaps unexpected dimensions in their creative arsenal, finding fresh new boundaries and enriching the palette of both performers. encounters of sweet fleeting moments of lyricism emerge amidst the chilling outback, in which we re given some final consolation between the long lines of cavernous rifts and deep space tundra.

we are greeting back johannes kolter for his first full ep on the label after appearrances as a remixer on digitalman and his track -dialer- on our last various artists. the german prodigy is taking care of the two sides here, first under his djoko moniker with straight groove and spacey chords then on the flip as kolter for some retro future break beats and vintage samples. if this wasn t enough we added casa voyager kosh to remix the track solaris on the a side. welcome to johannes doppelleben

the tracks were composed during the winter months in helsinki, finland in 2019-2021. railo (finnish for >a crack in the ice< or >crevasse<) can be seen as on ode to winter, the richness of the seasons and different weather conditions which have been an inspiration to karjalainens work. the arc of the album follows seasons from autumn to spring, starting from cold autumn winds (viima) and ending to the melting of the ice (sula). different winter phenomena are explored on the way, including >routa< (finnish for >ground frost<), >kuura< (rime) and >kelirikko< (a term known especially in the archipelago meaning a time at the end of winter when the frozen sea does not support transportation anymore but boat traffic is neither possible). yet, the album is being suffused with a sadness stemming from the threatening permanent changes in the diversity and balance of nature trough the climate change caused by us. hannu karjalainen is an internationally acclaimed electronic musician, video artist and photographer based in helsinki, finland. his albums have been released on international record labels since 2007, lately on the renowned german label karaoke kalk. domestically karjalainen is known as the recipient of young artist of the year (in 2009), one of finlands biggest art awards. his video art works and photographs have been exhibited in new york, berlin, zürich, paris and helsinki, among other places.

2021 repress - huge, the full unreleased version of the o.g bboy classic brazilian rhyme straight out the sony tape vaults ( i made that sound easier than it was). not just one for hip-hop heads, the appreciation of this groove is pretty much universal. the track is an uncredited cover of toninho horta s -beijo partido- most likely directly influenced by milton nascimentos version from the lp minas which is a great cheap lp while we are on that. on the flip for the first time on 45 (until someone tells me there is some random german or thai pressing) is one of my old modern spins, best 45 of the year and its only march.

re-release! 2x12 inch + dl , gute luft is the result of months of work scoring the hit german tv film 24h berlin - the longest documentary film in history which featured 80 camera teams following the lives of berliners over a 24 hour period. obviously a huge challenge for fehlmann, beyond the scope of the project and hours of music involved in a 24 hour film, there was dealing with the decision making process that went with working with such a large production team. as he shared scoring duties with another musician (separately), inevitably a lot of his music ended up not making the final cut. gute luft is about re-tweaking and editing material from the countless hours of recording he had created. in a sense, gute luft is fehlmanns ideal soundtrack to the 24h berlin documentary.

donnerstag. in german, day of thor, the scandinavian god of thunder, where the strength of this curious ep lies. this vinyl travels along a path of different textures of sound and style. starting with mirnha s -the label s founder-dancefloor techno to open a second door to omar amo s -aka magoo- groovy techno. the b side delights us with touches of excellent acid by diego cid (arg). both artists are members of the notorious group -urban groove-, which has edited in solid labels such as kumquat records, illegal alien records, beathey recordings, among others. the disc tops off with progressive techno in charge of lucas vazz (cl) -inherencia s resident- impregnated with fine and cosmic berliner sounds.-

repress - german duo obscure shape & shdw drop three robust techno tracks in their first full release on rekids this may. one of the most exciting acts in techno today, obscure shape & shdw are the founders of from another mind - the label and party series making waves in south-germany. aside from rekids, where they remixed radio slave’s ‘vision’ last year, the pair’s abilities in the studio have seen them invited by slam for two separate remixes of monoloc and envoy on soma, with more projects to be announced. ‘himmel und erde’ is a cavernous cut boasting colossal kicks and skipping percussion before a tantalising melody comes into play. ‘am ende der welt’ is more deep and atmospheric in comparison, blending dusky percussion with echoing synths until ‘gefallene engel’ demonstrates syncopated drums and an otherworldly hook that conjure up a mesmerising aesthetic to conclude the release.

repress 2019 - after a full year of dedicated work we are happy to announce that dominik eulbergs fourth album >diorma< will be released in may 2011 on traum. after the >heimische gefilde< album on traum, which won the german critic award, as the first techno album ever where comments by the artist himself appeared in spoken word, eulberg has this time aimed at an album which embodies various facets of electronic music. >diorama< therefore resembles something totally new and original and can be referred to as an affiliation towards the real authentic eulberg sound cosmos. he has accomplished this with the highest possible standard and contemporary sound aesthetic.
