jeremiah r has been responsible for some of the finest electro to be released over the past few years, with his mini albums for tabernacle records being particularly potent. here he launches the distant wave label with eight more chunks of atmospheric, far-sighted futurism. as usual, he flits between ambient style interludes and more expansive dancefloor fare. in the latter category you ll find the motor city techno futurism of -bermuda triangle-, the glistening idm loveliness of -streaming to arcadia-, the larry heard-in-space deepness of -cruiser-, and the drexciyan throb of -jar (jamming avoidance response)-. all are, naturally, both luscious and pleasingly melodious, whilst retaining an intergalactic sense of atmosphere.

it has been four long years since noahs last album, blind alignments, was released here on thoughtless, and much has happened since: extensive tour dates, numerous singles and collaborations, a lingering break-up, a move across the atlantic, 80 releases here on preds thoughtless imprint, tests of new music technology, and the sudden death of his father, all this and more transpired as his latest full-length effort, third culture, took shape. traversing these highs and lows, the result breaks new ground for pred, building on the dub-inflected techno and house that fills his discography, yet reaching far beyond anything we have heard from him before.

exploitation is the new film by dutch independent filmmaker edwin brienen. enfant terrible produced the soundtrack for this gothic-noir satiric fresco. 90 minutes of music to be enjoyed both as true soundtrack as well as a sequel to previous enfant terrible compilations... but more dramatic and ritualistic in the way the record is building up. it will please fans of minimal electronics and (post) industrial music but also moves into different styles such as idm, tekno, angst pop and chanson, while always keeping a dark and cold mood and/or dream state feeling throughout... limited edition of 250 copies!

prinzhorn dance schools sophomore album, clay class, releases a quiet energy amongst a dark landscape, inarguably in tune with the downtrodden economic situations that have permeated modern life in the bands native britain, and conversely, along our shores. tobin prinz and suzi horn form a compelling duo whose shout-and-answer approach, paired with edgy and steady bass/drum patterns, achieves perfection in songs such as >seed, crop, harvest< and >your fire has gone out<. the album is constructed on the emblem of empty space, as songs such as >i want you< bridge the gap between musical minimalism and cold intimacy. the oscillation between starkness and warmth pays homage to the bands debut 2007 release, while also creating a modern, if not postmodern, musical snapshot of life across the pond, as well as in our own backyards.
includes full cd-version of this album.

blue skies and late nights, camp fires and cheap delights and whisky drained straight from the jar. in a hammock slung below a sky of dreams and sea of stars lay a pop princess and a hip hop pioneer, arms entwined and eyes locked into each others stare they whisper sweet – nothings to each other, >you re flash< he says >take it slow< she purrs back >and dont even dont think about going down under!< a mile or two out to sea, floats what has come to be known as a mega-yacht. aboard his life like an episode of mtv cribs but with more parties and less gold-encrusted pool tables. surrounded by beauties by the bevy and sipping on gin and juice, duff scans the horizon with his telescope (solid platinum, encrusted with diamonds, built in infa red) and spies young love or a new hope. smiling to himself he thinks >they look different, younger perhaps at least changed, if not for the better but changed at least which is surely a good thing<. he turns to the girls on the boat, one hand pointing to the shore and the other raising his drink to the sky he shouts >i helped create that<.

charted by ernesto ferreyra. this ep is inspired by an egg dropping contest that was held at the hotel vancouver when i was a kid. all maner of apparatus were designed to help the eggs land safely after falling the 17 floors. all failed but one. parachutes malfunctioned. ballons drifted into obstructions. wings collasped. the winner: a jar of molasses. the egg was pushed into the center of a large jar full of the thick liquid and the jar was thrown over the side. the jar broke on the street below leaving the egg safe and sticky. i was once told that all jokes come from prison. i often think of those doing time while trying to remember some play on words like - whats the difference between a pickpocket and a peeping tom?..... - though that is one of redd foxxs gems i have a new joke i have yet to use - upon exiting a bathroom, regardless of its particular plumbing, tell the owner that you think their bidet is broken

this first vinyl release on coincidence.lmtd is the advent of a new direction that the label has taken. back to the vinyl. back to the approach where a release needs to be perfect before its sent out into the world instead of hurrying to meet monthly download deadlines. back to the essence: the music.

sexplosion, the new ep from lenfant terrible of sophisticated techno, seth troxler-here recording under his debauched alter ego sex trothler-is a complex, multifaceted, and yet decidedly horny affair. these are the sounds of doing unspeakable and anonymous things to girls in dark backrooms and being too confident to regret it the next day…the sounds of your favorite sexual memory transformed by your overactive fantasy life into scenes of utter perversion. the first track, jusyour, combines troxlers signature use of the classic, organic sounds of detroit house and techno with an avant-garde, fragmented, almost mournful sensibility. its a contemporary jack track as appropriate for a dark, seedy club as it is for an afterparty orgy on your friends broken futon. its almost as if music could yearn and sweat and think all at once. its followed by a brief vocal internude to remind you that being a good lover always means having enough of a sense of humor to laugh at other people laughing at yourself. think tinkertoys meets the wu-tang clans black shampoo. humor aside, the final track, face, utilizes airy percussion and deep, almost cinematic chords (reminiscent of troxlers remix for another precious youth, nicolaas jar on new yorks wolf+lamb label). its masterful and restrained use of processed vocals manages to leave behind so much of the pointless darkness that has plagued techno, whether minimal or otherwise. it builds slowly yet aggressively, like a hard, focused grind with someone you cant actually even really stand. this is music for people whose time at art school was spent getting naked and not hating themselves for it.

dj dynarec has continually created tracks that jar the mind and stir the body to move or imagine a futuristic world. dynarec kicks the ep off with pneumatic transport the strings are reminiscent of early cybotron and model 500 with strings cutting through your speakers while still being classical with a detroit darkness.

als in den spŠten 80er jahren die ersten outdoor-trance-partys im indischen bundesstaat goa stattfanden, hŠtte niemand gedacht, dass sich dieser trend so lange halten bzw. weiterentwickeln wźrde. kaum eine andere dance-szene in europa hat ein grš§eres zusammengehšrigkeitsgefźhl als die goa-szene. hier wird musik und alles, was damit zusammenhŠngt, noch gelebt. zu keinem genre gibt es eine ausgeprŠgtere und besser entwickelte -underground--partyszene, in zahlreichen foren und communitys stehen die fans in regem kontakt. stŠndig finden kleinere veranstaltungen statt, und im sommer sind die gro§en festivals und partys wie waldfrieden wonderland, vuuv festival, alice im wummerland oder psy-purgisnacht immer ausverkauft.

der australische drum & bass-produzent royalston aus sydney veroeffentlicht sein albumdebuet ocd auf dem hospital sublabel medschool! das album beinhaltet insgesamt vierzehn tracks - bag it!

hot on the heels of the wildly enigmatic debut from wu lyf, bristol-based guitar band zun zun egui continue the british avant-garde scenes fascination with indecipherable lyrics on their first offering, katang. with tracks performed in english, french, japanese, and creole alongside several mutterings which appear to be from an entirely made-up language, its impossible for anyone, bar the most accomplished of multi-linguists, to understand what their self-described -free-range rock music- is about.

the future of dance music is happening now. the next generation of edm producers is stepping up, with w&w bearing the flag of todays promise. no need to wait much longer. after merely 4 years of warming up, the duo sets things alight with the long-awaited debut album impact. though theres plenty of challenges left on their to-do list, dutch producers willem van hanegem and ward van der harst no longer play the game of rookies.
