sol asylum is back with their third release, this time around a various artist ep featuring tracks from friends and family members dana ruh, miss jools, and patrice meiner. this solid collection delivers a heavily swung slice of style and class without ever losing its straightforward dance floor attitude. the ep gets a proper start with dana ruhs >overcome<.a modern take on forward thinking house music with a cleverly swinging groove, pulsating filtered synths and provocatively soul stirring voices. all the rhythmical elements mold and evolve the track into a vibrant and energetic gem. next stop on our journey brings us to patrice meiners >uva< a broken beat dedication to his mother with fiery snares, atmospherically floating ghost like synths, intricately pitched hi-hat patterns and a tightly woven groove that is the signature sound weve all come to know and love from him. last but certainly not least is our trusted resident of sol asylum miss jools with >calamity cloud<. mysterious voices speak to us with an infinite realm of hovering synths, a playful but complex groove, driving hats, then a finely crafted layout brings us to alternate states between light and darkness creating a perfect balance that reminds us of a cloudy berlin day.

the headless horseman has a very vague memory of when his head was completely dislodged by a cannonball. is he the ghost of an honest hes- sian solider? or simply a mere immortal soul who wants back his prop- erty back and is destined to live in solitude?

the constant state label launches in style with a record from ian blevins & phil moodys al gobi outfit, who had something of a breakthrough 2013 with releases for disco bloodbath, rothmans, culprit la and audio parallax. while the original mix of a cup of tea is dark and unsettled - beautifully balanced bass notes and piano cutting through heavy, storm-pregnant air, cottams accompanying remix is the distillation of a second wind. his tribal, twisted, acidic treatment of this 3am concrete bunker anthem never overwhelms the piano refrain, instead giving it a new life, like the ghost of a party suddenly bequeathed fresh purpose as tired legs find boundless energy.

an album with a high crossover appeal. maybe best described with kate bush meets autechre.

phran is a brand new recording artist based out of barcelona and venezuela, his debut ep for klasse wrecks is a fantastic and blistering trip into live hardware session jams.

the phrase *feux follets* from which archipel 105 draws its title, comes from the latin ignis fatuus, and translates as will-o’-the-wisp. the etymology reaches back to old folktales in which ill-intentioned spirits would cast an atmospheric glow at night, in order to lead weary travellers astray. today, the term refers to ghost-lights - artificial light reflections caused by decomposing organic emissions. anyway you choose to understand it, this music contains the mysterious and unattainable. feux follets are meant to depict an elusive (and perhaps also illusive) ambition. a tense equilibrium colours the constant, foundational sounds with aleatory movements. the compositions are detail-oriented, and boldly explore their tangential elements.

following on from the white collar boy & somadrone outings for numbers 001 & 002, bodytonic music have called in some friends in high places in the shape of james savage aka naum gabo & l.i.e.s. bossman ron morelli (debuting his ghost 202 project with l.i.e.s. labelmate svengalisghost) to remix the debut release of adultrock, or gav elsted to his postman. a 5 track spaced out funk excursion concocted in gavs secret synth lair in dublin, *chants* is already getting heavy rotation from the likes of james holden, john talabot, pional, annie mac & more.

francesco- delivery the 4 ep! the first orbital variation is a dark and hypnotic track, desert city is melancholic and it describes the landscape of a ghost town, motor is obsessive it leaves no respite as an -assembly line- in the full period of industrialization and the last city describes an industrial landscape, with the sun in the face of the people.

telrae tracks is a sub label of telrae. the first record comes by van bonn who has recorded two tracks.
the a-side *on land* has the continuous mode character of early monolake music and conveys a powerful and intense feeling coming in waves.
*wave* on the flip side is a ghost track without any redundant sounds. no stunts just sounds that unite at certain outskirts to create a slight psychedelic experience. when the track stops you fall deep, because it is also a soundtrack.

louis guilliaume has come a long way and with his every release he has proven to deserve his space amongst the finest techno producers out there. unknown forces ep is a straight forward techno ep which shows influences from his hometown rotterdam to detroit and back to berlin.

for over 12 months thomas feriero aka avatism, our friend and label partner, has been staying at home and working on his album. he moved to berlin to work on it and now sadly (for us) yet (gladly) for him he is moving back to milan. poof! just like that. so what did this year entail exactly? well for some of us not much. we got to see him in his studio comfy pants a couple of times (he wears slippers) we heard his studio woes, ate pasta with him, drank beers and of course got to hear his album at every juncture. while this self-imposed exile may have been a little worrisome the result is fortunately spectacular. adamant is a glimpse into how a city shapes a life and how intrinsically life then shapes music.

in the 1970s the american composer henry flynt started a series of pieces under the title >new american ethnic music<. in so doing he worked together native styles of music such as blues, country or hillbilly with electronic production methods to make something altogether new. so far in germany it has never been attempted to rework folklore electronically for a compilation. however, this picture changes if one redefines the idea of who the population is. incomers have brought new >national anthems< to germany, which means - even the portuguese fado, the african gnawa, the croatian klapa or the vietnamese quan ho are these days at home in germany. with the cultural project >heimatlieder aus deutschland< (native songs from germany) founded by former spex editor mark terkessidis and label manager jochen kühling all the various styles of traditional folk music now found in germany has been collected. thirteen of the songs recorded for the project have now been transformed by contemporary electronic producers to present a >new german ethnic music<. but why remixes? for one thing electronic music has recently focused a lot on the past (ghost music, hypnagogic pop etc.) – electronic editing is well suited to follow the effects of the immigrant music which the >imaginary national anthems< has created. furthermore the projects instigators were curious how >electronic musicians< would handle folk music and folk songs which is a hugely difficult task. to this end artists were sought out who could get along with the idea of each music style and who are known to already have experimented with the human voice. the results are as varied as the music styles and djs involved. some melodies remain completely intact while others are abstracted beyond recognition. margaret dygas associative approach ensured that she presents a polish song about a girls arranged marriage with a claustrophobic feeling. with his remix of the marrabenta of mozambique mark ernestus has continued the rhythmic experiments he is known for with jeri jeri. thomas mahmoud translated gnawa into dub and finaly ulrich schnauss turned the song of the italian chorus of >donni so< into a hymn for the horizon-expanding power of migration.hopefully this compilation will also expand some horizons.

brill four track minimal techno madness

nach vier alben, die beim legendären john-zorn-label tzadik erschienen, fallen einem bei koby israelite begriffe wie eigenwillig , genial , produktiv , avantgardistisch und passt in keine schublade ein. aber letztlich ist der in israel geborene südlondoner - dessen musikalische reise vom klassischen klavier über den jazz zu speed-metal-drumming bis zum akkordeon führte - ständig auf der suche nach dem perfekten sound. und hierbei spielt es keine rolle, ob dieser von black sabbath, beethoven, bluegrass oder den rumänischen roma inspiriert ist. der sound ist dabei von eindringlicher schönheit, unterstrichen von der schwermütig klingenden armenischen duduk und einem wehmütigen akkordeon, und verbindet die liebe koby israelites zur musik des balkans und dem blues. jenseits des kantigen zusammentreffens von stilen und einflüssen - das album will nicht jedem und immer gefallen - findet man sich in einer welt wieder, die von einer einzigartigen musikalischen vision zusammengehalten wird, die gleichermaßen mutig wie kräftig, fremd wie süß ist.

part 1/3. the distance from ricardos last field trip >the au harem d archimede< (perl43) in 2004 to the present epic 5x12 lp-set is a galaxy of electronic expression through sound independent from time and pace. it is said that funk is defined by the notes that are not being played. the space between the notes here is so vast that funk becomes transformed into the spirit that creates unfathomable emotional adventure. the rules of dynamics between 0 and 1 shift the relation from reality to relaxation. 14 freefloat sessions are made of natural, secret ingredients from the limbic system of astro aztecs. they evolve from rituals, ending in the release of the sinuous percussion ghost from the machine who breathes out a score for easy living. which sounds like a primordial soup aerosol of funky molecules and molluscs.
