communist dub is pan sonic member ilpo väisänen’s second solo album for editions mego (asuma having appeared 2001). this striking new release is a statement against technocracy and the erosion of human community.

a new four track ep by hexagon aka conforce on his own imprint. doing what he does best. making deep imaginary techno music with otherworldly authentic atmospheres without any concessions. the title track sucks you into desolate interstellar territories paying hommage to 606 rhythms with emotive strings on top that determine the total atmosphere of this killer advanced electro cut. human meets machine in it s purest form. pitch black leans on accurate programmed heavy broken percussive patterns and is the most functional track of the ep. functional but it s haunting atmosphere lifts this to a different dimension. continuum dives deeper into sonic territory with a mysterious stealth missional vibe caused by it s unpredictable sparkling crispy effects and mysterious pads. systematic repetition leans on pulsating modular bleeps and dubby basses and is the most techno orientated cut of the whole ep. it wouldn t be a conforce record if there weren t any strings and pads attached to it.

limited to 150 copies.
written-by, producer - megna, recorded at space reflection studio, lower austria.
felga ltd is a independent record label based in lower austria/austria.
one take hardware live recording sessions are our passion. we use a variation of digital and analogue synthesizers and drum maschines. stereo is one of the most valuable things a human being can build - besides love.

the *belly of the beast ep* consists of four raw cuts coming from machines for the main room, with dramatic chords, obsessive sequences and recordings from *the san fermines*. gal aner (guitar) and chris gray (voice), join them in the track *human show*, fusing electronics with pure emotion.

perception of time is a variable that transcends any state known to us (or presumed). dragged by a force majeure, the dionysian spirit is a life force and chaos of becoming. the apollonian spirit is fleeing from the unpredictability of events. the eternal return is a trap which is subjected to static human destiny.

this is easily one of the best in the series so far with the a-side featuring original tracks by advanced human, and mattias fridell, while the flip-side has an original from rraph, and a killer kwartz remix.

here comes the final chapter in androids three laws trilogy vinyl series. in this third part, the label elegantly moves away from its past and makes way for new theme, new sounds, and new breed of artists that have been closely representing this label for the past year.

hedonism is an ethical theory that pleasure, in a sense of satisfaction of desires, is the highest good and proper aim of human life, and this seems to also be hdnsm’s ultimate musical objective. their first release debuted as a kickstarter of “variant ep” v.a. series, showcasing three very different yet highly contemplative creations from cumsecade, anestie gomez and man spider. hdnsm flips the coin and for the second episode of “variant” series it lands on two very solid, incredibly moody and extensive works from fresh talents shcaa and cleymoore. the ep features two very different tracks yet they share the same minimalistic core. both works are blessed with intricate micro-drum arrangements for those feeling groove hungry whilst still standing tall in the experimental abstract realm pleasing those who crave unusual frequencies. a-side’s “masquée” is one of shcaa’s typical rides between sound and silence and it is hard to find another artist who understands sound gaps between grooves better than shcaa does. with his signature vocals and an incredibly delicious duality between acoustic instrumentalism and electronic slamming, this is a groovy, highly deep, very intelligently arranged piece. the flip-side “nebula”, signed by pluie/noir’s boss cleymoore, is a tip of an iceberg when it comes to the art of stripping down. in an apparently thin canvas of minimal drum arrangements there’s a vast amount of sound frequencies underneath a steady ever-kicking groove, tricking your mind into thinking that you’re hearing less than you actually perceive. nebula is hypnotic and dense but focused and sophisticatedly groovy. like the repetitive vocals you’ll hear throughout the b-side, this v.a. sticks to your mind like an addiction of some sort and pushes hdnsm to a new standard of avant-garde and forward-thinking attitude. as before, this vinyl only release comes in a gorgeous cover featuring a painting from max binski and the number of copies available is limited

for more than a thousand days and nights, nico stojan tapped away at what is now before us as ‘twisted manners’ - his debut album telling stories in sound that are both electronic in nature and human in touch. each organic sounding track on the release, including their neighbouring interludes, graze on the moments, people and cultures which have encompassed the albums journey and brought it forward to what it is today. these inspirations have merged from moody mornings in foreign lands (‘blue hour’) to his love affair with the elements of jazz (‘tortured paper’), to the breezy ways of the pacific island people he connects with so much (‘maori girl’). these diverse cultures and the passing musicians who have importantly contributed to the essence of the album have built strong yet invisible strings with a myriad of voices and instruments which weave throughout the music giving us a piece of work that is both textured in flavour and rich in motive. twisted manners is a clean example of this - house music whose soft open spaces and gentle beats sway easily through analog sounds coming from string quartets, saxophonists and double bass players to name a few. these collaborations and stojan’s guiding ear will walk you right into the dreamy spaces and faraway places of his travels without you breaking a sweat. seasoned with moments stolen under the fading light of day, long trips into the beautiful nothingness of his eclectic surroundings and respect for electronic music that is both timeless and sincere, ursl records is delighted to present stojan s debut album, ‘twisted manners’.

why does my mind circle around you? why do planets wonder what it would be like to be you? this time vakula explores the universe of the man who was searching for a world where there were women and children obeying the moon but faced the reality with its wisdom, and fever, and sickness. and faced it too soon. the music and voices are all around us. choose, the croon, the ancient ones. the time has come again . the album is vakula s thoughts in time and out of season dedicated to morrison, the poet, the musician, the soft mad child, the great man. enter again the sweet forest, enter the hot dream, come with us. everything is broken up and dances*

2015 repress. non series continues with a hard hitting 4 tracker. raw and analog techno shaken to the core.

we have become the people that we hate, scuffing and cursing at the world. you run away but you can never walk. you speak the word but you can never talk. you limp on a hill and spill all that shes left you on a saw. rip the shreds into pieces too, why dont you. eat them sweet and raw. if love first brought us together why shouldnt it still? we are human in the end and what makes us dance is no other thing than love. as long as we live, we will love. mrs jones stands as a dedication to mans ability to love, to dance.

cestrian, the darker and more fiercely electronic incarnation of ali renault (dissident, cyber dance, human shield) provides the suitably titled * annihilator* for future flashs second release. witness relentlessly driving, pure electrical energy, biting 606 percussion and raging 101 basses. perseus trax provides the remix here, letting moody pads and screaming machines weave their way round a slightly more jacked drum palette as boiling acid arpeggiates.

front left represents a very special corner in a very special spot on this planet. every week the front left people gather together to celebrate techno music. techno is what brings us together and what makes us family to one another. we rejoice listening to it, produce it, talk about it, share it and mainly dance to it. it is incredible how one physical spot creates so such magic and human connection. this label brings the productions of the front left people to the world. in the first release, you will find elad magdasi, a heavy dancer and an emotional producer. his productions are wide-ranged and loaded with a true rave spirit, combining an acid-line treatment and his melodic point of view. in the last two years elad s productions turned to the techno side, and now he feels it s time to finally let his music out. gathering knowledge and figuring out his style brought him to this point. his love for raving is what keeps his mojo going and brings the inspiration to his life. joining the first release is matrixxman (charlie duff), the talented producer who s been shaking dance floor with his hit -protocol- for already 2 years and now releasing his debut album on ghostly. not surprisingly, the connection between elad and matrixxman was also formed on the front left. the first release combines a slick collection of sounds.

statue is a new percussion-based dance project erected by two unique drummers, tom gould and nicolaas oogjes. having become known for laying rhythmic foundations of seminal melbourne dance bands worlds end press and no zu, the pair have now joined forces to unveil statue, a strange new landmark in the dance music landscape. combining raw material from synthesizers, and a combination of drum machine and live percussion, statue is a monument to the human element of dance music culture. drawing upon inspiration from the organic rhythm of acts like floating points, pachanga boys and ricardo villalobos they have forged a deep, minimal and unique signature sound that has taken shape in this debut release. commissioned by cutters records, built casts a peculiar shadow on the dance floor. prepare to be moved by statue!

evan caminitis slow but steady progression towards electronic music from sand-swept guitar drone mirrors the pace of the music he makes. it has been measured, each move well-considered and clearly intentional. caminiti has immersed himself in electronic production on meridian, creating organic sounds through his machines, patching sounds that recall the brassy resonance of horns and hazy choral clusters. synthesizers hiss and crackle under layers of reverb and fog. sounds undulate and implode in upon themselves, with bursts of noise dropping in and out to create shadows of rhythm. caminitis electronic systems do not run autonomously - the sounds heard on meridian required real-time human interaction to bring them to life, and that human touch is essential to the mysterious atmosphere he produces on this new album.

a nasa satellite has confirmed the ancestral tradition of the -music of the spheres-, that celestial bodies emit harmonic sounds. although the music of the spheres has led first to the notion of universal harmony and then symmetry, it has now been discovered that the sun s atmosphere actually emits ultrasonic sounds and interprets a score formed by waves that are about 300 times more severe than tones that can be captured the human ear. this time, orbe represents these sounds.

we are artists with an inward perspective that toil endlessly to perfect our technique. we have proven ourselves over time as leaders of a beat less traveled. in this time of followers and cheap hustlers we are the oddities outside mainstream dogma. we are the heroes of cryovac. the rat pack of cryovac are keith kemp, kero, a. garcia, and kimyon huggins. we are a detroit based collective that come together from our personal projects to share our broad view of what techno is. keith provides a driving minimal sickness that builds and fades with dark intent. while kero relies on a random modular approach that is corralled by 4/4 beating. a. garcia produces a rocker that is driven by dirty soulful tones and choppy vocals. kimyon takes us out with a computer rhythm that is mixed down with straight human soul. this vinyl represents a combined effort of artists and craftsmen working together to bring this idea to life.

2014 was a definitely a huge year for dance music, with many up and coming artists being thrown into the lifestyle of hectic partying and relentless touring schedules. this also means that those who exploded onto the scene prior are no longer the new kids on the block. a few years is a long time in the life of a dj, and the first few years are often the maddest. the adana twins are a perfect example of one of these artists, having emerged onto the scene in 2012 with releases such as everyday and strange , from the off it was clear that they had everybody s undivided attention. (pulse radio) with dj names like take it easy and friso, it s probably to be presumed that german duo adana twins don t take themselves too seriously. that tongue in cheek attitude could be heard on their first productions and remixes. it s now almost almost three years later and the twins music vision is constantly developing

in 1996 paul birken released the classic and now rare as hens teeth surfin superior double 12inch on woody mcbrides communique label. this was to be a revered and respected record that influenced many and is still talked about and played today. now, some 19 years later he follows it up with part 2. nobody works as hard at getting human sounding chattering from their machines as birken and here he treats us to 8 massive cuts of grinding techno that are as humorous as they are danceable.

the munich born sound architect has released 13 eps, two long payers and numerous mixes in her distinctive extravagant and charismatic style. her music includes techno productions as well as -music for theater-. we picked up on cio when she moved to cologne several years ago and appreciate her as an exceptional human being and as a tastemaker. this is the second release she has done with us. her hypnotic djs sets enchant clubbers around the world, from berlins berghaim to people in tokyo. her track >off< describes a biotope in which two different poles gently collide. rooms of reverb meet orchestral sounds meet acoustic clicks, in a process of an ongoing motion, where there is no beginning and no end. the flip side highlights >and on< shows white horses amids the waves of sounds. this track could be an electronic soundtrack to a day at an isolated beach in the indian ocean. enjoy.

the a1 was never a big surprise. mattias fridell s consumed for profit was one of the tracks of the year, and surely fridell s personal best track, and was played by anyone who at least plays a bit of techno in their sets. the usual fridell quality of standard and a tight synth line! a2 sees french artist electric rescue s quarries in the a. mochi remix. a peak-time banger, slapping the synth stabs right into your face. this one always gets the floor jumping. the b-side kicks off with label-head advance human s pure , stripping things down to some essential moody but slamming techno, right up there amongst his best productions. b2 has +platform s mosses closing things off, and as we came to know and love from +platform, it s out there, dubby and dreamy techno, born for those deeper berghainesque floors.
