die klingt genau so, wie sie heißt: farbenprächtig, schwurbelig, episodenhaft und manchmal richtig schön beknackt. siriusmo nistet sich auch mit seinem dritten album wieder an seinem ganz eigenen plätzchen in der elektronischen musik ein, indem er alle möglichen stile und vorlieben durch seinen persönlichen filter schickt, notorisch tiefstapelt, maßlos übertreibt und immer auf dem punkt landet. siriusmo ist der vordenker, der gar keiner sein will. comic ist ein perfekt unperfektes selbstportrait und enthält in des meisters eigenen worten 14 bunte geschichten zum selbstausmalen. aber keine bange, diese geschichten erwachen von ganz allein zum leben. vergleiche sind überflüssig, nur einer drängt sich auf: sowohl melodische vintage-electro-romanzen wie dagoberta als auch fuchsteufelswilde arrangements wie bleat ziehen parallelen zu alten squarepusherplatten. statt jazz und jungle bestimmt bei moritz eben die berliner sozialisation den sound.

zomby, einer der rätselhaftesten produzenten elektronischer musik aus großbritannien, unterstreicht seine ohnehin schon illustre liste an veröffentlichungen mit seiner kommenden ep -gasp!-, die anfang september 2017 via big dada erscheint. zombys fähigkeit, mühelos von einer soundästhetik zur nächsten zu wechseln, hat er schon mehrfach in seiner karriere unter beweis gestellt. auf -gasp!- verschiebt er erneut seinen jungle-beeinflussten sound und entwickelt sich zum soundchamäleon, das in einer immer größer werdenden landschaft gleichklingender musik immer noch herauszustechen weiß. in der unverkennbaren seele seiner kryptischen vielfalt, demonstriert -gasp!- eine erneute tektonische verschiebung in zombys stil. nachdem er mit analogem instrumentarium das neue material aufgenommen und anschließend digitalisiert hat, erklärt er: -ich war müde von zu viel digitalisierung und Übersättigung. dies hier ist eine arbeit, die für mich einen schritt nach vorne bedeutet.- die kompakte 3-track-ep ist ein erbarmungsloser behemoth voller beats und breaks, der sich irgendwo zwischen einem stahlwerk und einem düsteren dancefloor einreiht.inklusive downloadcode

copenhagens music for dreams comes with yet another strong release - a double album of personal favourites compiled by jan schulte. according to all maps and witness accounts, germany does not officially have any tropical forests. this is of no concern to schulte however, who has unearthed many stunning examples of tropical drum music recorded there. perhaps the number of botanical gardens and palm houses in germany confused musicians into mistaking the climate, or maybe it was just a happy blend of escapism and multi-cultural integration within musical scenes that spawned such a curious output of undefinable tribal folk jazz. most of the tracks picked by schulte were released on small labels in the late 80 s. the musicians involved were mainly traditionally schooled, born and raised in germany. at that time to be interested in foreign folk music might have seemed a gimmick to some, what with the emerging -world music boom- already snowballing into the mainstream. but these songs, while they may be based on musical traditions from foreign lands, deal much more with introspection than exploitation. schulte himself points to his -general fascination for music that describes places where the artists have never been. songs about the jungle or the rainforest made by people that know the rainforest only from television and books. somehow i think you can hear their mythical imagination and fantasy in those tracks,- he explains....

few artists can claim to have their own distinctive “musical voice”: a style of composition and production that listeners instantly recognize. for starters, it takes years of experimentation to perfect, and most people simply don’t have the patience, talent or skills to pull it off.
ali kuru is one of those rare producers whose music sounds like nothing else around. the istanbul-based artist has spent the best part of a decade honing his trademark style – a fragrant and intoxicating aural brew that combines a myriad of influences with atmospheric field recordings and snaking, mind-altering middle eastern instrumentation – via releases for the likes of luxa flex, kalisah, sound architecture and, most recently, leng.
it’s to the latter label that the publicity-shy producer returns with his most ambitious release to date, egzotik. 15 tracks and 70 minutes deep, it’s not so much a debut album as a statement of intent. from start to finish, it feels like a humid, sweat-soaked saunter through the winding streets of istanbul in the company of a musician who draws more inspiration than most from his immediate surroundings.

dutch jungle loons fff and coco bryce team up once again for another amen excursion on myor massiv. space is the place on this 12inch, with both jams featuring a short documentary s worth of chatter about giant planets, failed stars and opposing quadrants. whereas fff takes a rather intricate and, dare i say it, intelligent approach on the a-side, coco bryce s more massiv goes straight for the throat, with amen chops and a double tempo pulse bassline being dropped mere seconds after take off.
