after more than three years of silence as a producer, efdemin a.k.a phillip sollmann returns with a striking hybrid concept that merges the album format with the -continuous dj mix- format, presenting completely new material in a seamless manner. this cd-mix, named na•f, officially reinstates his label of the same name and is a sprawling tour of inner space featuring 19 distinct tracks from fellow producers (e.g. margaret dygas, steve bicknell, jeroen search, pom pom, marco shuttle or gunnar haslam) along with an additional ten that feature efdemin himself (either as soloist or collaborator). the release condenses his decade-long dj-ing journey and evolution as a producer into a single potent elixir of contemporary techno. owing to his additional projects, such as collaborating with pan artist konrad sprenger on a modular organ system to be installed in museums, or scoring for a neue musik ensemble, the berlin-based efdemin is known as hiker between the worlds . his regular stints at berghain or panoramabar, his partnership with established labels (e.g. ostgut ton, dial, sushitech) and the leadership of his own na•f imprint all demonstrate that since more than a decade.

der londoner dubstep-pionier und hotflush-labelbetreiber scuba aka paul rose beweist seine einzigartigkeit mit einem 75-minŸtigen fabric-set aus 42(!) Ÿber- und nacheinander gelegten tracks. unterschiedliche kŸnstler wie pearson sound und patrick cowley, donato dozzy und midland treffen in einer dŸster-verfŸhrerischen atmosphŠre aufeinander, so dass man sich zwischen pumpendem lo-fi techno und subsonischen bŠssen im rave-kosmos verliert.

die us-amerikanische electronica-kŸnstlerin olga bell (gleichzeitg auch ein mitglied von dirty projectors) veršffentlicht nach -diamonite- (2011) und -krai- (2014) nun ihr drittes solo-album. -tempo- beinhaltet gastauftritte der sŠngerin sara lucas (callers) sowie der langjŠhrigen kŸnstlerkollegen jason nazary und gunnar olsen. -dieses album ist erst fŸr den kšrper, dann fŸr den geist-, erklŠrt bell, die -tempo- angefangen hat zu schreiben, direkt nachdem sie den film paris is burning gesehen hatte. jeder song steht in einer beziehung zum spezifischen rhythmus und kšrper, beinflusst durch das tempo des tages, durch das wetter und das licht. die zehn songs sind durch old-school club-musik, west-coast hip hop und portishead beeinflusst. experimentelle sounds treffen auf geschmeidige, catchy melodien. das ganze album ist absolut originell, vibrierend und sinnlich. ein tipp fŸr alle fans von bjšrk, st. vincent, feist, sharon van etten, chairlift!
