re-issue of thyrfings 2000 album >urkraft< on double 12 inch white vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

recorded in dears home studio and mixed at nicolas vernhes rare book room studios in brooklyn, beams evokes a day-lit dreamworld at once strange and familiar. while the albums dancefloor-ready tempos, major keys, and sun-warmed synths signal beams as the lighter, brighter response to its predecessor, closer inspection reveals a squirming mass of oddball details. dears latest productions on beams creak and groan like anxious organisms, with slivers of guitar, electric bass, and drum kit darting in and out among the synths and samples. beams is the latest transmission from one of pop musics most fascinating creative minds. tour dates coming in nov and dec after recently performing live in may this year in select key cities.

2 tracks of deep techno inspired house from 17 yr old music enthusiast alfie. born in the village of oxted, home to a number of electronic dignitaries, alfie has been raised on a balanced diet of garage, dubstep, jungle, dnb, and hip hop which he has further infused with his personal love for old school ska and jazz. taking key elements from each of these styles alfies music is deftly relevant in your ear and on the floor. lead track uncomfortably numb is a high energy throbbing slice of techno laced deep house, with a reverberating bassline driving an almost industrial main hook, whilst layers of clinical percussion and pads snap and swirl throughout the mix. about midday punches through the enveloping gloom with an inescapable rave inspired main hook which intensifies the tracks pulsating wall of manufactured sounds. having already played at fabric aged 16 and with a number of shows pencilled for 2012, including his glade debut and eastern electrics festival, this double a-side is set to eclipse the work of a number of his more senior peers.

back with a renewed energy and purpose, latino-flavored rappers cypress hill climbed back into the ring for another round in the fight for hip-hop supremacy on iv, an album which is as much at home with ghetto street-kids as it is with california surfers.
with right hand man sen dog back in the fold, it completes the circle that b real and dj muggs once drew as one of the most influential groups in rap. with this fourth album, cypress hill managed to hit the #11 spot on the billboard album charts and it was certified gold.

kormacs latest release for scribble records sees him teaming up with old pal mc little tee for the ska driven >superhero< while the guitar and string laden >another screen< is a collaboration with literary great irvine welsh (trainspotting, the acid house, skagboys). >another screen< came about when kormac turned up on welshs edinburgh doorstep with the track written especially for him. rather than take out a restraining order the generous author took him in, fed and watered him and sent him home with the track complete. the result is a double header of contrasting styles that prove kormac is on a creative high.

london based audio visual collective old apparatus have started their own label, sullen tone, with their first ep derren dropping in july. with two releases on dubstep pioneer malas deep medi label under their belt, and - in contrast - a tape of improvised electro-acoustic music for berlin-based the tapeworm, the group formed sullen tone to provide a home for old apparatus to elaborate and expand on their vision and allow the listener to be drawn even further into their compellingly beautiful yet destructive dystopian world.

a shuffling mix of acoustic guitar riffs, licks, natural percussion and of course razs well known melancholic vocal lines all come together to generate a country folk feeling of the 60s. a dampened kick drives the energy deep and harmonicas seep into our minds and set our soul on fire. a fresh track for a hot summer day on the lake. acid pauli takes the track and acidizes it by adding, yep, acid lines and a very direct kick. the track gains more of a main time vibe, heightened energy and deeper bass allow this track to hold its own in a variety of set styles. the final mix is an open air anthem delivered from the sorry entertainers m. rux and lotti. using percussion of the same natural flavor and incorporating dirty synth lines, the two produce a heavier mix worthy of both dancefloors and home listening.

as i look to the sky from the surface of the water is the much awaited second album from grit, aka london producer gary brackley and it has found a perfect home on meanwhile. the label is well placed to be an outlet for grits explorations deep into the realm of deep techno, thanks to its standing within the techno community and this album stands tall alongside contributions from the likes of murmur, sven weismann, bvdub and conforce. opening with the expansive title track, grit sets the tone for what to expect with the ripple of syncopation shifting in and out of focus amidst the viscous layers of foggified luminescent ambient texture. across the subsequent five tracks this tone is retained throughout as brackley playfully explores the inventive sparks that arise when rhythm rubs with texture, with the smudged out subaqueous >safer retreat< a real highlight.

special tracks have a special story behind them.and this one certainly does. after mario & vidis recorded a couple of tracks with ernesto for their debut album changed they invited him to perform in their home country. during his short stay in lithuania ernesto performed two times and both times closed his set with a track called care. it was kind of a mash-up - swedish singer & songwriter was using lyrics of his old song to sing over metro areas classic caught up to a big effect - leaving the packed dance floors to a sing along to lyrical hook of sisters and brothers, smokers and lovers, care for me every time. big fan of metro areas sound vidis offered him to do a reversion of this mash-up using caught up as a reference and inspiration. the vocals were re-recorded, new arrangement was done, and the song was tested in the clubs as well as live on stage. so here it is - another big tune from the three to sing and dance along

steve bug drops a new outstanding 12inch on his own highly prolific poker flat recordings. those grooves is the perfect primer for his upcoming album (due out in autumn 2012), and sees the man in fine form - masterfully in control of his sound and producing tracks with a depth of dancefloor knowledge most other producers would die for. those grooves, the lead track locks into its exquisitely crafted groove early on, holding a taut balance between its individual elements. mid way through its 10 minutes, bug drops the tempo and lets the groove breath, before bringing it all back home - an audacious late night club weapon. the flip side is no less dramatic – tell me why creeps up, evolving slowing but surely – before an edgy, freaked out bass line drops over the crisp drums. a true peak time burner with enough energy and tension to smash any floor.

>let yrself be<, the second single to be taken from jimmy edgars critically acclaimed majenta, tells the story of, in resident advisors words, a nomadic sex fiend gone clubbing. two of the albums more brazen house cuts are the focus, evincing an artist as adept at catering for dance-floor and dj as he is for the home-listener.
the title track is a beatific cruise through stabs, chords, claps and slaps to a place where 90s house meets garage vocals, shutters are raised and everyone dances happily ever after. >heartkey<, on the other hand, shows a starchild at his sultriest. chugging along with electro swagger and vocoder charm, his claims to be the only one with the key to your heart are hard to disbelieve. lock up your android daughters.

>we can fill a stadium anywhere in the world. but can we still make music that means something to people?< (bono) monkey maffia can easily fill a club just about anywhere in the world. however, he is also looking to make music that means something to people. his debut was a search, and his second release fit right along with this theme. his competence of variations is a characteristic of the dj-dervish, yet he now exercises restraint and follows the right track. over there, three maffia lions roar monkeys coming home!

die stecker wurden gezogen, die drums in der garage gelassen – hansonis kommt heuer auf ganz leisen sohlen daher. akustikgitarre, zurückgenommener gesang und ein paar tupfer e-gitarre, klavier und keyboards – mehr benötigt der musiker nicht, um “shark week“ zu einer zwingenden angelegenheit zu machen. von folk über country und blues bis hin zur mörder - ballade – hansonis schlendert auf seiner melancholischen reise durch die songwriter-genres, veredelt seine songs aber immer wieder durch die entscheidende prise distinguierten 80er-pops. hier ein unwiderstehlicher melodiebogen, da eine prägnante phrasierung – der kölner vermählt us-amerikanische musik - traditionen mit einem britisch geprägten popverständnis und dreht am ende sein ganz eigenes ding draus.

remastered re-issue, featuring the very best of the sound of brooklyn records.

big with:ernesto ferreyra, the mole, akufen, vincent lemeuix.. inspired by classic disco and electro, dkmd have already produced several dance music tracks, using old and new technology in order to come up with a unique sound which pays homage to their predecessors without sounding pastiche. echoes of giorgio moroder and donna summer can be felt throughout on the other side, while the playful and sensual taxi cab recounts the familiar story of an early morning phone call received by a girl in a cab, on her way home from a pleasurable night out. perhaps it is their experience playing together as improvisers that adds a special touch to their dance music,as they have grown accustomed to perform almost every element in their tracks using hardware intruments and effect boxes.in addition to their disco project,the two have a considerable track record as experimentalists and the dark,cosmic and mysterious androide is a good example of some of their output in the genre.even though dkmd are only at the beginning of their dancefloor adventures,they show no signs of stopping,and when asked what comes next,they will likely answer

what we have here is an album which is, if i may say, relatively positive and generally good for home listening. this album was recorded in about 10 weeks in a living room (the sofa being my bed), with restless swollen eyes at dusk and a love/hate relation with my machines, microphone and electric guitar.3 machines gave up on me during the making of this lp.i hope you will like it. tolga.

the best things come in threes: after his recent success with the the devil in me, a glorious collaboration with oliver koletzki as part of großstadtmärchen 2, and the big jet plane ep for our good friends at dantze, poster-boy jan blomqvist presents his first 12inch on stil vor talent, ink. things kick off with the title track, whose classic song structure and romantic melodies rub elegantly against tougher, sometimes distorted electronic percussion to create a tension that would be at home on a radiohead lp
