100% silk begs and pleads for all things octo – that eight-sided honest octagon: sweet, sad, shy, hopeful, blissful, light, lifting, longing. going deeper, swelling higher than his first >let me see you< 12 inch, >oh love< unifies touching human experience with technology, sound, and rhythm in a totality of vision.

subforms are two young ukrainian artists: yevgeny konovalov and dmitry oleynik.having already published their work across several european territories - and even as far afield as argentina - the duo maintains a clear - and explicit - commitment to minimalist fabrics. in other words, silence comes to the aid of resonant, dubby structures. the less a soundscape is mapped out with human endeavor, the more it is surrendered to emptiness - and therefore to potentials.

nicholas szczepanik and federico durands debut lp transports the listener through exquisite vignettes and captures the essence of singular beauty in human perception.

for now is the second ep by brooklyn duo beacon, five songs that continue the bands exploration of the dark spaces under the surface of human relationships. as with the bands debut ep no body, for now is a record that conceals a great deal of depth beneath a melodic veneer— again, there is a stark contrast between thomas mullarneys honeyed vocals and the words he is singing, although this time the mood is perhaps less sinister and more reflective.

right in time for luises third birthday, munichs incarnation of volt and watt, namely guenther lause, comes along with a very special present. the wakema ep is a three-track-voyage from the outer spaces of universe back to the very inner circuits of conscience. starting with ruka (a), an antsy techno piece, guenther seduces to enter his spaceship. soon after, hiding between space and time, loose your (b1) invites to take a bummel on planet ephraim located far outside where human awareness turns into a flock of silver bambis. finally, slowing-down wakema (b2) brings us ashore cheerfully.

after remixing pan-pots >gravity< earlier this year, san francisco sound duo clint stewart and marc smith are back on the mobilee imprint together as safeword on the 96th release. the 3-part ep is a soulful beat-ballad musically defining the three most present phases of the evolution of human love.

nice price deal !!! sinistarrs take on the sounds of his native detroit has landed him releases on goldies seminal metalheadz imprint and won the hearts of discerning drum & bass heads and general beat-lovers alike, combining the sonic qualities and raw aesthetics of detroit techno and electro with jungles schizo rhythms.
hit and hope present sinistarrs first non-dnb excursion in the form of the >cetra ep<. despite jumping tempos and styles, all 3 originals manage to remain coherent with sinistarrs catalog. the emotive synth chords, beefed up roland trs and human production ethic of 90s detroit are squeezed into the format of various current underground sounds in something altogether very unique.
at 135bpm, the title track cetra is drawn out progressive structure nods more to a classic rephlex cut than the majority of current club, or bass music with despite sharing a tempo and similar rhythms.

ancient future is the second collaboration between visionary pianist ryuichi sakamoto and electronic pioneer christopher willits. built around a series of piano pieces that sakamoto sent to willits after the release of the duos first record together, 2008s ocean fire, the six tracks that make up ancient future are entirely instrumental—and yet, they speak about the very essence of what it means to be human. as a whole, ancient future functions as a piece about the creation, acceptance and completion of ones fate and all of lifes experiences, following a trajectory through inner conflict, resolution and, ultimately, acceptance.

in italys deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. you can smell, taste and feel it. it s cold sweat. from constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. some say, its only paranoia. but you can t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. who are they? they are invisible. you can only see the bloodshed and the tears. and like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. this is the life of jack curtu. and his music takes you there. three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. senza via duscita - theres no way out! lux rec knows.

ok, to call this album long awaited or highly anticipated would be a non sequitur. what lies here before you is sculpted out of the blood and tears of 5 years of life, and all the dreams, imagination, tristesse and longing that goes along with it. the name orgue electronique shouldnt be new to you, cause it isnt. for over a decade it has been lurking in the periphery of house music - forever too early or too late for the trend, be it as a solo artist or working alongside legowelt. but it seems the apotheosis is finally here, in the form of this mesmerizing double album: wholly matured and further enhanced by collaborations with luminaries like robert owens, alden tyrell and cult hero fre2k. but to just dismiss this as a retro house record would be to sell it short in a big way. sure it was influenced by the usual bunch of pioneers and icons, but this is not an epigone, this is music that is. its warm and generous, made up of real emotions, of moments frozen in time and of the impassioned cries of a soul on the run. thats right, this aint no hipster shit dime-a-dozen facebook house gonzales! to finally let it go after so many years is - for all the parties involved - a strange yet exciting moment, not unlike the birth of an elephant baby. out of a human female

do machines have soul?? jose rico and urtzi bring us the 7th downbeat release, paying homage to science fiction and exploring the relation between human beings and machines. the result is a solid exercise of researching with hardware, which brings all the label influences.jose rico is the responsible of flight to andrómeda and hiperspace, two obsessive, mechanical but full-of-feeling tracks.moreover, urtzi introduces himself with ouroboros and terra luminae, two synthetic tracks with influences from chicago sound. four dance music tracks which go straight to the heart and brain.

with >dazed<, senking continues his exploration of the abysses of sound to create dark and gloomy atmospheres. the slow beats of the two tracks are accompanied by tender, harmonic melodies, but broken by nervous, unsteady tones which seem to be a warning against hidden dangers. the first track >the dance hall walk< also features a vocal sample by micheal cramm - a text which reflects the nervousness and excitement in anticipation of some thrilling things to come. like >tweek<, senkings last ep, >dazed< is not only concerned with the depths of sound, but also with the depths of the human psyche, where there is no escape other than music itself.

in his biography, arjuna schiks is described as a producer with an ability to bring the human out of the machine, unleashing our emotions. after listening to doha , we were affected in the same way. simply put, his music makes us feel good. melodic accents and danceable rhythms blend in purposeful unison, and it is with the doha ep that arjuna will join wir. he has appeared on gem records, manual music, traum, and trapez, with original eps, and has recently graced a number of labels with remixes, leaving his signature on each ep. his production output is impressive, and like most greats, his sound continues to grow and develop with each studio session. arjuna resides in amsterdam, where he has developed a distinct and solid sound, and a loyal fan base. he performs live close to every weekend all over holland. we invited arjuna to come and perform as the special guest at our treibstoff 14.5 year anniversary party for his first ever performance on german soil. his set was received with smiling faces and hands in the air, coming from the brimming dance floor of colognes gewölbe, a warm welcome to say the least. we had the pleasure of spending some time together after the event, and his character is just like his music. he is a cheerful and passionate person with a bright sense of humor and we are elated to welcome him to wir. keep your ears open, for there is more to come..

if you like the sound of cheap analog synthesizers from the mid 80s, drum machines and strangely pitched human voices this might be the record for you. a small warning about the quite melodic and poppy arrangement, it is not minimal, nor pure drones. sorry. estelle ep has nothing to do with the car Škoda estelle, even though some instruments used on the songs were produced during the same years. estelle ep is more or less a result of the new kranglan broadcast hardware studio environment. the plan was simple: to get rid of the machines that were not being used and to make the rest communicate with each other. this resulted in some very fine jams where realtime feelings and spontaneous ideas were converted into music. each track is its own moment in time.

heralding from a rock n roll and jazz background vaal is not aware of the strict rules that define & guard electronic music. therefore vaal is not afraid to break them. sourcing tracks and samples became an obsession: from this was born a compulsion to write, experiment & develop original music that could be equally human, equally electronic. vaal exists in the dark of the city: the secretive curtained room that you can never quite peer into, the dark pulsating dancefloors of the underground. vaal has nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears & sweat. vaal is electronic, & vaal is a baastard.

unxpozd presents dj aakmael – the undrgrnd ep, giving you four fresh deep house bangers! the journey starts on the earthside with just a track pt 3, which is a soulful dance-floor ready tune with aakmaels signature chopped up grooves. the second track untitled 66 offers listeners a more laid back deep house groove, with strings and other sounds that will keep dancers in their own fantasy within their minds!the second side of the journey takes you further thru the regions of space with the spaceside. midway thru the journey is the calmer recess, a more serious mellowed out bass-filled groove that delivers the calm after the storm. concluding the trip is deep again, offering listeners that trademark headknod feel that aakmael creates seemingly with ease! this is a project for the serious deep house collector, alien and human alike

in advance of the release of dapayk & padbergs third full-length sweet nothings - this time round on stil vor talent - the experienced duo are teasing us with the fluffy cloud ep, which showcases three of the album’s many diverse highlights, while keeping the vinyl lovers happy. the a-side bears the lps title track >sweet nothings<, on which dapayk & padberg’s sound takes a turn as they come knocking with a deep but forceful groover, whose distorted high-hats and trancey synth stabs create a vibe both euphoric and weirdly subdued. the lyrics, moreover, emphasise the duality at the core of many dapayk & padberg tracks as the latter ponders ‘you’re good for me - you’re bad for me’. showing another of the duo’s many facets, ‘backyard’ enchants thanks to mystical lyrics sung beautifully over a deep quasi-dubstep structure. marking the ep’s mid-point, the atmospheric song shines through intricately crafted fragility and is the perfect contrast to the previous and following track, while leaving a strong desire for more stuck in the listener’s mind. on the b-side, ‘fluffy clouds’ does quite the opposite to what its title suggests - rather than being a soft little piece, we are treated to big-room techno fodder à la berghain. a skeletal framework of heavy kicks, dark pads, white noise and dense metallics works relentlessly underneath a cold spoken word, proclaiming >not human, not animal - just a body in motion<. machine funk par excellence.

next up on nang we-re honoured to introduce -2am- the new ep by sheffield scenester producers hiem along with another of the cities finest fellows- phil oakey of the human league. the original track is a synth pop powerhouse about those twilight club nights that you never wanted to end- complete with a epic guitar solo- computer blips and glistening synth rushes. oakey is as accomplished as ever- bringing his signature tones to full effect and it-s nothing short of sensational. to accompany- we-ve enlisted the skills of four producers to give us some cracking remixes. fernando and toomy disco are first up- and they ramp up the tempo and vibe for a loose -n- live rework that-s perfect for the dance floor. hiem themselves give it a go with his -1984 rework- bringing 80-s power drums- van halen solos and some atmospheric subtleties to the table. nang-s italian uber-cool-cat brioski steps up next giving us the italian angle with a brilliant walking bassline and luscious wide mix. the heels of love bring us frivolous percussion and stomping disco beats layered between emosh pads and slick keys. ace. to finish- our good friends free school take things down a notch for a beautiful leftfield excursion that only they could pull off.

organs of love are the power-sleaze duo of james mckinven (organs, love) and alicia matthews (vocals, love). james mckinvens musical odyssey started with playing synth in (kraftwerk, suicide-inspired) electro band berlin blondes. he then moved on to altered images. after that he worked in genetic studios learning from the modern day genius that was producer martin rushent (human league, the stranglers, the buzzcocks). then went on to form one dove and worked with maverick genius andy weatherall. after that he drifted back to where it all started, analog electro, and miss alicia matthews. alicia matthews has quite a different background – one from fine art and performance. through working together at the same bar and having many intoxicating late night chats, they decided to try to get back to a 70s theatrical, musical performance: where live music and art combine for something beyond the rock gig vibe. and luckily enough, miss matthews has quite the pair of pipes – a true vocal delight. the result is organs of love … who frequently perform live around glasgow and have quite the reputation of thee band to see. videos can be provided, but they are not for the faint-hearted! not that optimo music ever provide a dull moment …
