der wiener produzent & synthie-zauberer dorian concept ver�ffentlicht sein brainfeeder-lonplayer-deb�t! seit der ve�ffentlichung seines albums joined ends im jahr 2014 trat dorian concept �berall auf, von glastonbury �ber s�nar bis hin zu moma ps1 s warm up, und bewegte sich fortan bewusst unterhalb des radars. seither hat er die zeit damit verbracht, sich von seinem eigentlich wunderbaren produktionsprozess zu verabschieden und stattdessen einen brandneuen sound zu entwickeln, mit dem so niemand rechnen kann. inspiriert vom eklektizismus zahlreicher musikgenerationen (60er-jazz, 70er-fusion, 80er-neo-prog-rock, 90er-electronica), versuchte dorian concept, moderne musikelemente mit altmodischen methoden zu replizieren, live zu spielen und t�uschend digitale kl�nge im dienste einer ironischen parodie der nostalgie aufzunehmen. erwartungsgem�§ ist das ergebnis aller kalkulierten und konzeptuellen �berlegung zum trotz erfrischend unpr�tenti�s: schwindelerregende crescendi, kakophone br�che und formidable rhythmen sind sowohl fachkundig produziert als auch kindlich, hyperaktiv und hyperfokussier

energie pur! kanadisches fusion-kollektiv z�ndet die n�chste groove-rakete.
das sechsk�pfige souljazz orchestra aus ottawa ist f�r ein orchester zwar etwas klein geraten, daf�r fallen spielfreude und selbstverst�ndnis auf sympathische weise gr�§er aus. seit 2002 ist das politisch sendungsbewusste sextett in der originalbesetzung unterwegs, und wurde dabei schon dreimal f�r den kanadischen juno award nominiert. ihre lyrisch starken texte verpacken die kanadier vielseitig und multilingual mit 80er-vintage-synthies in tropische lo-fi-tanznummern, die von einfl�ssen aus soul, ethio-jazz, sixties-funk, afrobeats und latin zehren. 2007 gelang der band mit -mista president- ein internationaler club-hit, der nicht nur das interesse von gilles peterson weckte, sondern auch die t�r zum label strut (mulatu astatke, ebo taylor, idris ackamor & the pyramids) �ffnete. dort erschienen die alben -rising sun- (2010), -solidarity- (2012), -inner fire- (2013) und zuletzt -resistance- (2015). in dieser zeit kam es zu kollaborationen mit musikern von nigeria bis ruanda und kuba bis haiti. bei seinen zahlreichen ausverkauften shows teilte sich das kollektiv die b�hne mit musikalischen schwergewichten wie femi kuti, stevie wonder und bob dylan. auch -under burning skies- zeichnet sich durch einen passionierten, analog produzierten groove-mix aus, der einfach nur gl�cklich macht.

seit fast 20 jahren bereichert der brite james holden die electronic-szene mit innovativen, pr�gnanten und stilbildenden ideen. f�r sein drittes album versammelt er die liveband the animals spirits um sich herum, um seinem elektronischen sound organische liveinstrumente wie saxofon, kornett oder cosmic-percussion hinzuzuf�gen. so entsteht ein neuartiger, synthbasierter folk-trance, der elemente wie psychedelia, krautrock, weltmusik und spiritual-jazz mit holdens melodischer st�rke kombiniert. damit kreiert holden eine neue genrepr�gende form universeller musik, die gleichzeitig fl�ssig wie lebendig klingt.

born in a remote log cabin deep in the scottish highlands, eventual reality, the debut album from the james lÕestraunge orchestra melds jazz and electronic music sensibilities with a huge helping of heart and soul. in 2014 seasoned producer and musician ricky reid and his partner retreated from the city to embark upon a new life, in his own words Òaway from the constant, incoherent noise of the worldÓ. as he set up his studio, the clean air and spectacular surroundings began to provoke musical inspiration like never before. then, like a scene from Ôfield of dreamsÕ, a series of talented musicians from his former life visited the cabin for a series of late night jamming and recording sessions, leaving behind them hidden treasures to be discovered and lovingly pieced together by ricky over the following months. with nostalgia so much a part of the albumÕs creation, the james lÕestraunge orchestra canÕt help but appear somewhat spectral, after all they are truly the band that never was.

one plus one/indecisive is the 7inch release from the debut ep by melbourne band the do yo thangs a collection of sensual slow jams and bumping future soul dominated by rich, four-voice harmonies. one plus one is equal parts performance and programming, drawing from a broad palette of live instruments and electronic sounds. at the front, hugh and audrey alternate lead vocal duties, supported by harmony singers maddie otto and tiaryn griggs. backing them, the guitar sound is classic soul but the plethora of synthesizers and 808 kick drums is definitely not, nodding equally to vangelis or hiatus kaiyote. the more you listen, the more intricacy is discovered. the writing uses jazz elements and odd rhythmic devices, but it s all tucked away - theres nothing that intrudes into the foreground or interferes with the song s abilities to speak to an audience
