the remains of the horsemans severed head are no where to be found so he has returned to sleepy hollow for vengeance. in >execution< you can hear his sword tear through the last human souls who were brave enough to step out side of their homes in the pitch black darkness. the headless horsemans >legend< has now been born in the neighboring villages but there was one survivor on his third attack. that was a gentleman named ancient methods, who showed his courage and strength so the horseman decided to let him live in return for his shield containing markings of times before his

working together in person has been an important point in cavaans collaborations lately - much preferring the human interaction and local landscapes over the soulless exchange of sound files over the internet. with this point taken care of, the two cavaan guys struck out in a berlin, heidelberg and venice studio. while the awesomeness of the cities kept the team quiet the landscape nonetheless teamed with sounds.

expect spacial techno from berlin-based stojche on the 3rd release of mysterious label grounded in humanity. after achieving the long awaited breakthrough in human cloning, mankind decided to revolutionize industrial production and the global economy with the mass-production of human clones - the assembly line. sophisticated technoid work-out on this creamy and excellent release…..limited, vinyl-only, no re-press. 225 copies worldwide!

at the center of anything lies its core. whether mechanical, organic, global, or human, the core presents an essence around which objects and systems unfold. this ep is the inaugural seed of the vrv concept. four tracks here display varying degrees of aggressive, essential techno, with stripped-down elements containing measured amounts of grit, power and depth. the eps use of tension and dynamics continues to propel the music forward, building to an epic finale, a great closer.

recorded whilst battling insomnia during a cold and bleak berlin winter, jack dixons new ep finds him channeling the light and the dark of his home city. inspired by the bygone euphoria of early analogue techno and the harsh industrial landscape outside his window, the three tracks of those questions swirl vinyl crackle, ghostly rave vocals and human heartbeats around pounding jackhammer bass, intense drops and intricate house rhythms. the result is a perfect encapsulation of the curses and blessings of a sleepless hibernation. it is an atmosphere also present in the hazy drones and pulsating sub-bass of skudges exhilarating, analogue remix of heirloom, the revered swedish duo tuning down the filters and reinterpreting the track as a ghostly and paranoid low-end basement banger.

puss is a new label from hnny and kornél kovács, pushing club ready dance tracks to tenderhearted discjockeys around the world. the first release came this spring, with hnnys simple yet devastatingly effective rnb refix *boy* and kornél kovács eerie dub version *yob* sharing one side each – for the follow up, hnny transforms a late 90s jam by wexford, pennsylvanias finest into an acid-tinged house jam in two different arrangements. as always with puss, each record comes with a unique real human kiss mark. expect more to come.

second part of this two episode series on subnet records. following the same flavour as before... dark textures and mental synth lines driven together by hard drum patterns and groovy percussion. these two ep reflect the creepy and insane behaviour caused by experiments in the field of invisibility applied in the human being. all the tracks were recorded live! just using analog sequencers, mpc, analog mixer and synths. directly to a recording device. in the same way as you could record a live set, to keep all the vibe as fresh as possible. 220 copies limited vinyl release.

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.

qbeck first made a splash on the international tech-house scene when seth troxler and crew released his track alice on a visionquest label compilation last year. now alessio mereu is pleased to scoop up the ukrainian producer for a full ep on amam, titled railway mood. eureka has an irresistible galloping groove, with an off-kilter tick-tock giving a countdown to eternity. soon, after the slightly unnerving melodic plucking sounds, you can hear breathy gasps punctuating the atmosphere as if a human being is trapped inside the track. and maybe youll get sucked in too!

when it comes to top class releases produced by artists who were already being brilliant when some of us werent even born, it doesnt get any more legendary than the great oliver lieb. renowned and gaining heavy respect for former projects like spicelab, the ambush, paragliders, l.s.g. and remixing the likes of moby, yello, human league, sydney label elektrax recordings is proud to present the electronic bigfoot to its label with a 4-track release, called *the prophet ep*.

once upon a time…in the midst of masked identities, artist pseudonyms and the like, midnight shift introduces a creature not even of human form.

last known trajectory proudly presents inkamera, the solo project of the multi-talented victoria lukas, who of course you may well be familiar with from her previous work as zerkalo, performing alongside the legendary gerald donald. here, the first inkamera release demonstrates victoria’s clear understanding of what constitutes a solid and balanced musical project – ‘superpartners (photon photino) ‘ and ‘&#1089,,,&#1084,,,&#1077,,,&#1088,,,&#1090,,,&#1100,,, &#1085,,,&#1077,,, &#1089,,,&#1091,,,&#1097,,,&#1077,,,&#1089,,,&#1090,,,&#1074,,,&#1091,,,&#1077,,,&#1090,,, (death doesn’t exist) ‘ are both pacey, electro drivers with a distinct european feel, the former being quite upbeat, while the latter rendering a slightly darker more sinister air. ‘i can speak’ provides a volatile contrast with its crazy, freestyle electro beats and rhythms, whilst both ‘human terms’ and ‘potentia’ showcase victoria’s quite distinctive, totally unmistakable, seductively hypnotic vocal to a backdrop of gorgeous electronics. a superb solo debut from lukas – let us hope that there are many more to follow.

ontology is the beginning of reality. pulsing rhythms as categories of being are acting like entities in a dusty void. sparkles of light underlines the times of creation, where nothing existed before. since nothing really existed for the human being, silence was full of noises.pulsation as the archaic form of life.
the ontology remix is made by bruno sacco, perfectly in line with coals original. a vision in a techno rough structure, with more bpm. the remix doesnt alter the original but approach it from another point of view. a vision in perfect parisian techno style.

body 11 is/was the one-man project of tim stickelbrucks. inspired by the late 70s/early 80s icons such as omd, human league, and cabaret voltaire, tim wrote and recorded 4 songs in 1987 in his apartment and self-released the mind 7 inch ep in 1988. rather obscure at the time, the 7 gained cult status later in the 90s when collectors and word of mouth fans began seeking out copies of the record.medical records is proud to reissue the mind ep 4 songs along with unreleased recordings created at the same time. the unreleased tracks were songs that were distributed only on cassette (to friends, etc) at the time. the tracks have been transferred from cassette.
this reissue/collection is presented on high-quality 180gram milky clear vinyl. features bonus insert with liner notes. limited edition.

this ep on memento records sees alfonso leon take his production skills to the next level. vinyl compresors soulful melodies and tribal percussions are matched by a deliciously funky and luscious bass line, until acid synth stabs open the way to a low-pitched, creepy, almost manic dark vocal that crawls along the groove.
fabrizio maurizis unique taste resonates hugely in his remix: a computerised, robotic low frequency bounce underpins a loopy rework of the dreary vocal, bringing its more rhythmical and human elements to the fore, marrying them to the relentless beat. outstanding works, both tracks.

another intelligence, is the label with new tools for creative djs and techno artists. jeff mills and dimi angelis already play this release. the connection between human civilization and extraterrestrial civilization, is evident. after a connection via morse, has established an encoded message intended for future minds. it is time to consider the facts and take the next step of evolution. the techno of the future is in our living present. just, obtain your own conclusions.

at the edge of failure a door to greater understanding and discovery is sometimes opened. some of mankinds greatest discoveries and experiences took place by sheer coincidence or even by mistake. from the big bang, to penicillin, or the invisible light we call x-rays, chance and human error has played a big part of our history and evolution as a species - can we really afford to be perfect when we owe our mistakes and weaknesses so much?

the descent of man ep is the third and last part of a trilogy on vinyl dedicated to charles darwin studies. this final chapter is focused on the darkest side of electronic music and his impact on human psychology. as charles darwin studied the evolution of physical and mental traits, we want to show how obscure, trembling and aggressive sounds generate an increasing sense of agitation and loss while mild and gloomy atmospheres can relieve the body and brain, achieving a peaceful state of mind. dont be afraid to move into a shady space. this is not the end even if it could be.

with the first of many releases including not only a vinyl record full of hymns to make your booty quake and your mind think, but also a 32 page magazine, a cult membership card, a ticket to the related performance and more, la mission hopes you will join us on our quest to make the world a funnier and better place. the most important question on our human minds seems to be >why is there something instead of nothing?<, the more complete and meaningful version of >why are we here?<.

every place, in which the human being lives, imposes you to choose. we are continually bombed by voices that try to check us and more our mind digs in the depth of own heart, more we hear the necessity to go over the barriers that are built. this way we are and so we will stay. we walk in a crowd of voices and we are continually looking for a something that can maintain us hungry and rebellious against our bossy ego.

christian smith is one of the worlds leading exponents of inventive and diverse techno. both as a dj and producer he is always bold and innovative, leading rather than following, exploring the world with his exciting and diverse musical palette.

chasing voices breaks its short ceasefire and rearms for the 5th installment in the ongoing series of musical theses at the forefront of new york citys electronic scene. purging the emotional distance and ironic poise of an increasingly numb aesthetic culture, *awoken by tears* is the naked, stark and barren truth of a deeply sentient musical form. heartbroken and angry, this is the new techno militancy taking on the classic materials of creative drive: pain, loss, memory—those negative spaces of the human condition that lay waste to so many weak souls, leaving behind piles of dust and rubble in their path.

the streets are talking and the new corner is here produced by shawn o sullivan and a joint track by civil duty produced by shawn & beau wanzer of mutant beat dance ...this release wasnt made to have fun too, the artists who produced these tracks had real bad intentions in mind to destroy all in its path with no regard for human life ... straight raw driving modulated analog techno of the highest regard! tip

dj hi-shock, also known as advanced human, returns to his roots, releasing a track on a label where it once all started: elektrax recordings. opening and title track control is as funny named as it is maddening. the irony lies in the fact that it is truly impossible to control your body.

180 gramm vinyl! limited to 200 copies worldwide. >grounded in humanity< claims to be an output for the most instinctive aspect of the human species, which is certainly the most creative one and also the responsible for chaining these creatures to their own existence, preventing them to evolve from a more rational perspective.
