*turn me on* by jay w. mcgee is the third release in a series of sought after boogie, disco and modern soul re-issues on légère recordings. the original 12inch vinyl single appeared on the tiny canadian indie label love productions in 1980 and is immensely hard to find these days. *turn me on* is an unusual production for its time, grooving along unbelievably deep in a spartanic arrangement, and fuelled by vocals which are not too far away from sylvesters iconic style of mixing soul, disco, funk and jazz.

die bandbreite der zwoelf songs reicht von frickeliger indie elektronik, angereichert mit spaßigem geraeuschchaos, über poppig-housige minimal tracks mit ear-catcher-hooks bis hin zu sensiblen singer-songwriter miniaturen und aetherischen athmos. die beats – ob housig oder als rockig angehauchtes live-schlagzeug eingesetzt – sind niemals nur funktionaler natur. sie fühlen sich immer ganz dem song verpflichtet. in eine schublade pressen laesst sich in a manner of sleeping nicht – eklektizismus und ploetzliche ueberraschungen durchbrechen jedes genrekorsett.

vicissitude - zu deutsch wandel, wechselhaftigkeit, unbeständigkeit - ist der titel des neuen, dritten albums von maps alias james chapman, das anfang juli auf mute erscheint. schwang im zweitling *tuning the mind* noch der hedonismus des mercury price nominierten erfolgsdebüts *we can create* nach, vermittelt das wunderschöne indie-rock/pop-album *vicissitude* nun die unmittelbare konfrontation chapmans mit der realität: *writing and recording coincided with quite a lot of things in my life changing. although things are good for me now, every song on the record comes from a long period of me having to take stock, to start again almost. i took myself out of everything and had a hard look at what i wanted to do and where i wanted to take maps.* den letzten feinschliff der platte übernahmen produzent und sound engineer ken thomas (sugarcubes, m83, sigur ros), der zuletzt auch an *we can create* mitarbeitete, und sein sohn joylon, der schon als programmierer und produzent für bands wie s.c.u.m. und telepathe aktiv war.

gleich der opener the sun never sets around here zeigt, wo die reise hingeht. leichte, unscheinbare töne entwicklen sich zu einem wohlbekannten wall of sound aus gitarren und handclaps. die wundervollen melodien und harmonien der folgenden songs klingen wie eine indie pop-fusion aus elo und den everly brothers

club trax, is a new series of records created by djs, exclusively for djs. pressed in a limited amount, club trax is only available on vinyl and presents reworks of classic songs from the present and the past.
this second club trax outing brings the spotlight back on a 91 classic that moved many mountains and greatly participated in the building of underground culture worldwide and especially in the uk. the shamen was first founded as psychedelic indie rock band alone again or in the mid 80s before it quickly evolved as one of the leaders of the british acid house scene.

cutters records are pleased to announce the debut vinyl (and vinyl only!) release from their latest signing, the la based artist kauf. since 2011 he has been honing his own dark twist on modern electronic music, with heavy drum production, dense, cinematic synth buildups and high-pitched, echo-laden vocals. his aesthetic lies somewhere in between the worlds of slow house, industrial dance and drony indie pop earning comparisons with the likes of caribou, matthew dear and toro y moi. an internet-only single caught the ears of cut copys frontman dan whitford, who promptly signed him for a forthcoming ep, entitled as much again on cutters records. the first taste of this ep comes in the form of the relocate 12 inch, including remixes by psychemagik, nile delta and moons. kaufs relocate is an dark anthem for the late-night-slow-dance, featuring sparse metallic percussion, chugging synth bass and vocals drowning in a sea of reverb. psychemagik take this vibe and run with it for their 7 minute house tinged rework. cutters own nile delta ups the energy with his signature acid-injection and moons (no recordings) rounds out the release.

just when you thought this could not get any better… after the sold out and critically acclaimed meta-kraut-bombs dropped by icasol the nouveau art indie trip gets even deeper

mit dem debütalbum landeten austra 2010 einen Überraschungshit, der sich eher von hinten durch die brust ins auge, denn mit einem knall ins bewußtsein der nation gegraben hat. kaum einer, der diesen ohrwurm nicht schon irgendwo gehört hat und nicht mehr losgeworden ist: dont wanna lose you, dont wanna lose ...
der spiegel schrieb sehr treffend: dieses lied kennt kein entkommen. es ist bekloppt, nervtötend und großartig. wer es einmal im kopf hat, bekommt es tagelang nicht mehr heraus.
der nachfolger ist ein durchgängig sehr gelungenes album geworden, auf dem sich katie stelmanis als herausragende songwriterin zeigt, die einen muskalischen quantensprung gemacht hat. olympia ist ein musikalisch reifes und abwechlungsreiches werk, welches es spielend schafft electro-, pop-, wave- und indie-fans gleichermaßen zu begeistern.

leftymood records is an italian label based in milan, born from the minds of danny deep, chris carini and alberto ampezzi, three artists with very similar musical background but with different artistic evolution. and these three artists make also the debut of leftymood records. dannys track is a trip through different electronic genres that range from indie and deep with creative acid synth sounds. perfect for a more sophisticated audience. ampezzis unconditional is made up of percussions, drifty ipnotic beat and marvelously deep groove that push an unconventional raw energy. suitable for underground situations. chris carini presents his track introducing techno groove with house elements like classic piano and voices that will burn the dancefloor in every moments in a dj set... first pressing ltd to 200 copies

bereits mit ihrem debüt fever to tell avancierten die yeah yeah yeahs vor zehn jahren zur neuen hoffnung der indie-rock-szene - insbesondere jener ihrer heimatstadt new york city. zwischen ihre mixtur aus rock n roll, post-punk und urbanem blues presste das trio um die charismatische performerin karen o einen großen brocken garagenrock und schuf so ein musikalisches konzept.

people have all the power - they just have to remember it, findet steve mason und sorgt mit seinem neuen eklektischen meisterstück *monkey minds in the devils time* für revolutionären wind in der flaute der aktuell doch sehr unpolitischen popwelt. das neue album besticht nicht nur durch seinen inhaltlichen tiefgang. dass der ex-beta band sänger mason auf stolze fünfzehn jahre erfahrung als musiker zurückgreift und produzent dan carey (hot chip, bat for lashes) seine finger im spiel hatte, merkt man dem album an. das glanzstück *monkey minds in the devils times* ist an musikalischem facettenreichtum zwischen pop, indie und elektronik kaum zu überbieten.

next diynamic bomb!

tropics a.k.a. chris ward first appeared on planet mu last year, following up two eps with the album parodia flare. commended by pitchfork for his lush soundscapes and hazy pop, whats clear with tropics is that he listens to a lot of dance music and he cares about production values. the synth and beat programming is as competent as anything out there, and he avoids lazy indie stylings and one button bontempi organ beats – his are crafted songs, much of the pleasure lying in his gift for dynamic arrangement, which is a joy amid rafts of useful formulaically assembled house tracks.
in common with the general post-financial collapse vibe there is less sunshine in this ep than before, and he has absorbed something from a year of intensive house music listening, but chris essential qualities remain a forward-looking wistfulness, hope beneath melancholy, something even more acutely needed now than before. oh look! here comes winter.

the new year reveals a couple of surprises on stil vor talent. among others, we are venturing into the stormy waters of indie-pop with svt096 >keine sterne< by noerd, the labels next extraordinary band project.

standout track taken from don ninos latest album >in the backyard of your mind< (released in may), >beats< is about to take over your turntable for good thanks to three new remixes at the crossroads of the indie-pop and electronic music genres.
the original version of >beats< is a freaky and well-balanced piece of folk music. its lyrics are about body transportation and spiritual dematerialization. but in the hands of chloe, turzi and cubenx the beat boxes substitute the drums, the vocals get distorted, the track deconstructs itself as well as the walls fall between the genres.

fantastic reissue of two highly sought-after disco gems from canadian indie label attic. first up is sparkles awesome and very rare piece of jazzy disco-funk >disco madness< from 1979. a soaring high-voltage killer of a tune, it sports a pacy bassline supported by high-quality breaks and über-funky guitar riffs. flip over for the great que tal america!< from two man sound who despite hailing from belgium managed to create this monster latino classic. seamlessly fusing samba, jazz, bossanova and disco, this record was a huge underground anthem in new york back in the 70s. with its immensely funky salsa grooves and fabulous rhythm combo, you can understand why this track has been sampled to death. unmissable disco at its finest - sheer class!
