kontra-musik releases another limited frak white label. on the a-side and the track wobbler frak leaves karlskrona for a short visit in omar-s detroit. the b-side drops some true styrka studio modular funk.

the second of two eps from talented californian newcomer, tyler friedman, has now arrived. a night in the woods ep starts of as a murky rhythmic experiment. when released of its bound, it transforms into a hailstorm of sound that builds in melodic intensity towards a final climax. this is scenic and brave electronic dancemusic that over and over again will capture the focused listener. on the b-side rivet for sure push tyler towards berghain. but now the tool is somewhat different. rivet transforms the cinematic original into a very dirty and dry party stomper.

cecille has always been a good start kid for many great artists, the label has been always open for some new inspirations and sounds. some of them in the past, has been called newcomer and made already the step into the big arena, like nick curly, markus fix, sis, butch, robert dietz and many more, this time we present you another new talented artist from ibiza (spain) named loopsize, the 30 years old simpatico guy, we call him also the machine, comes with his first release ever on cecille.4 loopy punchy tracks with their own sense of groove and drive.

for over eleven minutes jonsson & alter extracts bass sounds and gliding tonal textures of the originals and takes us on a deep and very trippy journey into taxi driver territory. suitable the remix is called tylerss dream. and we just love it.

es gibt bands, die schmecken nach parfümiertem vollbad und stundenlanger session vorm handspiegel. never ever!, rotzen the pet goats. noise und trash sind die einzigen geschmacksverstärker dieser band aus dem angefaulten big apple. gitarren prügeln eine handvoll akkorde zu einem hypnotischen soundteppich. der rhythmus rumpelt, als hätte der schlagzeuger den beat auf den küchengeräten von velvet undergrounds mo tucker gelernt. man muss nicht punk sein, um punkrock zu machen. denn wisse: weniger ist viel mehr, wenn du wirklich was zu sagen hast. kuscheltiere sind the pets goats keine. aber das zeug zur lieblingsband haben sie allemal.

rivet puts a lot of effort in his sounds and his production. this is not another copycat. first out on the ep >amid the roar< is >metrist<, a sexy march that blends the stiffness 80-ties disco with techno from the future. on the b-side marcel fengler takes his turn on >metrist<. he keeps the string of the original, chops up the bass and creates a dancefloor monster with a big anthem alert stamp on it. amid the roar ends with what might be the strongest track on the ep. this ep will make us dance, of course, as always, with a bit of a kontra-musik twist.

red007 sees pushing red taking a slightly different turn with more of a juke style release.

part iii ? manipulation musik. manipulation musik is the darkest and most cinematic piece on this collection of eps. delicate manipulated melodies and melancholic strings moves in and out of a crackling and distorted soundscape, telling an experimental sound tale with a sad ending. on b-side redshape (present, delsin) makes a remix solely using sounds from the original. redshape described his tape dub version like this: ?think disco dub, plonk & pain?. not much to add to that ? it kind of says it all. enjoy!
