the debut album by synthek & audiolouis can be seen like a precious gathering of different approaches to techno, made in order to create a meaningful and elaborate piece of work. the opening tracks miasma and intro:spection are just a glimpse into the atmospheres which costantly surround the whole album. strong rhythmics and overwhelming soundscapes never abandon the ears, modulating intensity and brightness along the journey through a sea full of dark acid waves. unwise is a bold sequence of powerful tracks devotedly written for the dancefloor, but still keeps a certain emotional aspect made of few melodic detroit-rooted cuts, standing as a tribute to the authors primary inspirations.

in times where a rave feels pretty much like a funfair, the chairoplane is still the nicest ride. thinking of kettenkarussell some might remember one of those gathered moments in a low summer night under the clear sky when things made sense for a while. but those memories fade away quite fast or seem really strange a few years later on youtube. so what is it that is left behind? after 10 years of collaboration the couple decided to do an album that might challenge the comfort zone of those who try to keep up that easy living. its a record full of holes. and still this is what keeps them together. in pain we trust... and yes i believe you and me will make love forever...

in einer zeit, in der egozentrische schauspieler ihre talentfreiheit im game propagieren, hat sich mistahnice dagegen entschieden das typische debüt-album zu produzieren und tritt stattdessen alleine ins rampenlicht. er kehrt zurück zu seinen ruhrpottwurzeln, wo rap noch immer die gesellschaft reflektiert. er hat ein album kreiert, das sich durch teamgeist auszeichnet. der coach carter des rap hat nur die besten spieler berufen, die in dieser konstellation noch nie zusammen auf dem platz standen, aber trotzdem in der lage sind jedem gegner das fürchten zu lehren. der unbändige siegeswille wurde jedem spieler eingeimpft. inspiriert durch das live zusammenspiel mit witten untouchable, möchte mistahnice die ohren des zuhörers zu einem basketballcourt machen, um ihm einen dunk nach dem anderen einzuschenken. nice ist ein teamplayer durch und durch, zwar nicht aus witten, aber dennoch untouchable! die beiden songs -whiskeybars- und -psychiater- sind bereits als single auf vinyl erschienen und es gibt jeweils ein musikvideo dazu. auf dem label werden die kommenden alben von lakmann (creutzfeld & jakob) und weiteren mc größen des ruhrgebiets veröffentlicht sowie auch von neuen talenten.

as liron himself says:>realitivity is my road to finding a new and fresh sound. a sound for which i found a lot of inspiration in my personal musical history of deejaying and buying records over the last 20 years. the album is just as much a journey, as it is a destination from which to move on to the next one, as i look to develop my music whilst not repeating myself.<

from the two individually revered artists seuil and le loup, comes the debut lp under their collaborative dj/producing alias hold youth. a collection of dance-orientated tracks, designed to make the body move, de la club explores the origins of hold youth’s fundamental influences to their modern day stance.a lp in two parts, the first vinyl is almost a retrospective of primarily state-side club sounds, but also of the pair’s early musical staples. paying homage to old skool production, the inspiration drawn from the detroit greats like moodymann and andres is clear on the funked-out, jazzy vibes of street my baby or the smooth flowing les enfants du soleil. hold youths love affair with head-bobbing hip hop also makes an appearance on the intro and outro, sampling the one and only j dilla, perfectly combined with their own personal beat-boxing. not forgetting their french 90s roots, kool & the boug oozes that warmth defined so well by pepe bradock and trankilou… a club track which has the power of subtlety to submerge the dancefloor that one level deeper. part two looks to the example of german minimal and micro house and brings us up to date with the sounds fresh from hold youth’s record bag today. be it the weird and murky territory of dodge this, or the eerie, glitchy world of black dog, their modern vision of de la club is darker and sturdier in its stature. but it is the ability to weave seamlessly between the lps two halves, two ideals, which truly characterises the hold youth ethos and their signature djing style.

dehnert has continued to steer his fachwerk label through the techno undergrowth and it has now amassed more than 25 releases in all. at the heart of the labels output has been dehnerts own increasingly experimental techno and this new album is testament to the producers continued exploration of the form. where framework was, in the words of mike himself, focussed on the heavy techno form, this album explores broken bass, swinging house and beatless electronic experimentalism amongst other things. i love to release music. i still enjoy the album writing process very much, says mike, before adding, i have noticed that sometimes the succe ss of a track depends on the light at club, which is why the album is called lichtbedingt, meaning depends on light! the album starts off with a suitably sombre intro that features cold, slowly shifting synths.

after travelling through the far flung galaxy for 002 ... forgotten corner aka phil banks & nick mackrory come back to planet earth & keep everything in house for their third label release. side a is kind of a track of two halves written and produced by nick mackrory - consisting of a 2 minute samba driven vocal intro, full of live instrumentation and featuring the live vocals of harry collier, before breaking down in to a deep hypnotic slow motion arpeggiated electronic groove! side b takes things back down in to the dark basements ... amongst the smoke machines, strobes & cans of warm red stripe! where phil adds his touch ... losing the live intro and taking things on a much more deep electronic instrumental bass wobble work out! still keeping the arpeggiated moog but with tougher beats and a much dirtier feel.

die harmonien seiner spanischen heimat treffen auf den bumms von berlin und die zeitlose magie kalifornischer sommernaechte - und das mitten im wunderschoenen lichtenberg am meer. trommelwirbel, fanfaren, fliegender roter teppich: der style fuer das fruehjahr 2014 heißt surf n bass. den meisten ist der 26-jaehrige wahlberliner bekannt aus dem umfeld des deutschen hip hop-endbosses marteria, seit vier jahren ist der selbsterklaerte affenjunge fester bestandteil von dessen crew

nofitstate chalk up their 3rd release with the much talked about swedish duo mr. tophat and art alfie providing ‘vretis’, an elongated groove fit to bursting with tension thanks to its extended filtered intro. ‘locked groove’ provides the remix on the flip, opting for a more blissfully melodic approach for those early morning sessions whilst ’takelant’ rounds things off in fine style with a low down and dirty slice of machine-phunk.

6th borough project are back with the follow up to their 2011 debut one night in the borough.

a few words by steffen bennemann: i was in loose contact with aggelos (dream weapons) for a few years, watching him from a distant with great interest. in 2012, he sent me his debut lp on inner ear under his fantastikoi hxoi moniker and it quickly became my favourite album of the year. when i told him our plans for holger he sent me some of his more electronic leaning music. i was instantly captured by the driving, trippy kraut techno songs which show homage to the psychedelic sounds of the 60s and 70s while holding their own in the here and now. exactly our cup of tea.

khandoits hypnotic 100 bpm stomp does not adhere to genre or fickle trends, it simply bangs. the track begins with a sturdy kick and piano glissandos which recall alice coltranes most transportative work. as the beat picks up, a creeping, filtered arpeggio enters its journey between rhythmic and downright nasty serving as the track s primary drama. its a stunning intro to the new label grimy trax, a musical chameleon that can be dropped at the beginning, middle or end of the night. to complement the epic a-side, grimy returns to the endlessly talented midwest and emerges with lulu, an original track by deejay/edit ace bruce ivery. the track seamlessly combines the chicago acid sound with the clever vocal sampling of early 90s nyc house. the result is pure peak-time heat. towards the end of the track, ivery arranges brief melodic elements into a propulsive disco facsimile. this unexpected turn summarizes the philosophy of the new label and the way this small group of artists selects and makes records. it doesnt matter if its house, disco, or techno, just make it grimy!
