the red giants ep is the missing soundtrack for blade runner: a post futuristic techno 12 deeply rooted in knowledge, sound and soul. irfan brings us back to kraftwerk, planet e, transmat and kms in an intro that defies gravity.

kontra-musik 006 moves the label into the analog domain of electronic dance music. this kind of sound you only get with the good old analogues. the a-side, produced by the master of the modular system, pseudonym scaff, takes us deep down our favorite techno memory lane. if techno was the meeting of kraftwerk and george clinton in an elevator, ssm 440 is the outcome of jeff mills and maurizio having breakfast at tiffanys. this track is warm, dubby and monotonous but with a drive heading straight for the late night dance floor. the b-side gives us two unique sounding tracks from pseudonym aparatus. city tunnel slowly and elegantly grinds, cranks and turns while building its way towards dance floor bliss. x-presso is best described as periodic fluctuations of voltages in the analog domain. elegant details of beautiful sound take us back to the time when minimal music still was interesting. this is >techno< in the sense that the term was originally intended. enjoy cause analog is the bastard

the brighton based trio fujiya & miyagi are set to release uh, the first new material from the hotly tipped act since this years sleeper hit album transparent things. built on a solid funk backing and provocative, breathy vocals, uh is a song about space and time, the alphabet and girls, that comes across like prince gone kraftwerk. on the b side, one trick pony ups the tempo with a jogging beat and hushed vocals. needless to say, its another fine offering from the band thats currently conquering the world with their danceable, groove oriented pop

brooklyns stefny offers her first solo ep for the addon imprint. a dj for the past decade, stefny has recorded a few co-productions (lucylee/sodium) along side nick chacona and is staple in the nyc underground scene. this ep showcases a unique sound built upon her dj experience and personal sound development. >a fix< is not your typical 4 on the 4 groover. a special kick treatment is exposed before the falling bassline appears. a magnetic pulse hits sharply between the perfectly placed fast edits and zips. the warm and fuzzy >radiolaria< begins the flip side. soft bass tones battle for space in the mix creating a groove that instantly bounces. dubbed out it continues along the path straight to the dancefloor. >wellig< is filled with a sustained anticipation. sharp beats, flanged percussion bits carry before a pulsing bassline and kraftwerk-esq synth stab rise. energy for the late night

kraftwerk influenced electro banger incl. bass junkie remix

the long awaited new unit 4 release (on a highly limited amontillado pressing of 300 copies with hand printed sleeves). deep dark powerfull track with a unusual combination of a dusseldorfer (kraftwerk-ian) electronica loop and a massive techno-ish bassline and funny enough without any hi-hats which gives the track a strange tension. b-side is a stripped down version with a long intro and outro. the very power full bass and a catchy hook line (reminiscent of their body dub) makes this a monster track... check!

after productions with sven väth and dj hell, anthony rother continues the tradition of mutual sound enrichment in an ingenious way, including the current publication for the sublabel datapunk limited. this time, no less than xenia beliayeva is involved, up to now the only female producer on datapunk thanks to her highly acclaimed >ultra glamour ep< of last summer. the 26-year-old muscovite by birth has regularly worked as a disk jockey already since 1996 and is considered as one of the hottest german dj insider tips since her support gig for kraftwerk at the zkm opening in karlsruhe. a part from brilliant breaks, xenias remix of rothers retreaded super space model hit >dont worry< is mainly characterised by the interplay of beliayevas and rothers voices, >love s gonna change your life for good<, who would have ever dared to doubt about that. with the flipside, rother once again did a solo revision of >roses<, available up to now exclusively on the cd version of the album >super space model<, and created a highly dynamic synthesis of classical datapunk sound and sporadically interspersed reminiscences of the romantic synthpop of the past century

the restart of the legendary evolution/universal language label! the first 3 mind blowing releases (re-mastered) and presented as a limited 3x12 package (the reload ep, the autoreload ep and the biosphere ep). mark pritchard and tom middleton released in the early 90s some highly limited records on their evolution label which later became universal language. all records were groundbreaking releases and tom and mark continued to produce many great records as reload, global communications, jedi knights, harmonic 33 and several other projects. these 3 records represent the beginning of the electronica movement which they started with like minded artist such as aphex twin, the black dog, autechre and some others. deep raw and forward thinking techno in the same style as aphex twins early releases, as one or balil. mark and tom were strongly influenced by derrick may, juan atkins, carl craig, kraftwerk, mike dunn and richie hawtin to name a few and they produced some amazing records which still are not outdated almost 15 years after their original release. among their fans of their releases is a huge list of big names who all recognized the quality of the music made by these two guys. this is a great package with all three of the ultra rare original releases together. must have

new kraftwerk interpretations !!

wegbereiter des techno? begrŸnder der ebm? vorvŠter des electropunk? mit kŸhlem lŠcheln schweigen sie zu jeglichem versuch ihrer historisierung: die deutsch amerikanische freundschaft, kurz daf, ist ein mythos. was wir wissen: zwischen 1980 und 1982 erschienen innerhalb kŸrzester zeit vier alben, die die musikgeschichte weltweit verŠnderten und daf neben kraftwerk und can zu den vorreitern der elektronischen musik aus deutschland werden lie§en. die chice cd-box -das ist daf- enthŠlt ihre vier wegweisenden cd-alben, eine weitere cd mit exzellenten neuen remixen von giorgio moroder, westbam, boys noize, gšrl & hell, gabi delgado und lor, sowie ein poster. ltd. edition. - packaging: klappdeckelschachtel (128 x 127 x 19 mm), 5 cd-stecktaschen, poster

electronic music approximately 35 years after bands like kraftwerk opened the magic box. a lot happened since then and it seems all is said, done and invented. however it is almost surprising that new things still pop up here and there when it comes to electronic music production.

das mystische, urspruenglich 1979 veroeffentlichte synthpunk kultalbum von c.o.m.a. erscheint nun erstmalig auf cd mit 4 unveroeffentlichten bonus-tracks. bevor er mit charles de goal ein franzoesischer popstar wurde, war patrick blain teil von c.o.m.a., die nur ein einziges album veroeffentlichten. das von sammlern gesuchte album mit aehnlichkeiten zum sound von metal urbain enthaelt eine schraege mischung aus punk-gitarren, proto-industrial synthesizern, mundharmonika und elektronischem schlagzeug. inspiriert von bands wie devo, wire, xtc, kraftwerk, the residents und magazine, sind c.o.m.a. soetwas wie the screamers diesseitig des atlantiks.

kraftwerk darf mittlerweile dem weltkulturkanon zugeschlagen werden aber darf die evolution auch zurŸckschlagen? mit respektvoller ironie? absoluter demut? eventuell sogar mit retrofuturistischem aberwitz? derlei ist hier versuchsweise dokumentiert.erstes wiener heimorgelorchester zollt bit fŸr bit tribut und zerlegt die mythos-maschine in ihre einzelteile. es menschelt. es surrt, zischelt, kracht. es ist. von mathematischer schšnheit von kraftwerk.

die franzoesische krautrock & psychedelic band turzi wirft die gitarre ueber bord und wirft die analogen synthies an und steht nun auf den schultern von michael cretu (of enigma fame), klf, kraftwerk und tangerine dream. produziert von pilooski (discodeine). -auch das vierte album von romain turzi alias t.e.e. steht wieder in der musikalischen tradition der elektronik - pioniere jean-michel jarre und tangerine dream. melodien, sequenzen und flaechen klingen aber gluecklicherweise nicht retro, sondern zeitlos und koennten ebenso heute im club laufen wie auch dem duester-futuristischen soundtracks von bladerunner entstammen. dass hier bei aller musikalitaet clubtauglichkeit erreicht wird, ist pilooski zu verdanken, der turzi als produzent im studio unterstuetzte.-

endlich wieder erhŠltlich! re-release des ersten hochdekorierten album-klassikers -rest- von isolŽe aus dem jahre 2000 mit drei bis dato auf cd unveršffentlichten stŸcken und erstmalig neu remastered! tanzflŠchen in aller welt standen und stehen kopf, so sie bereit sind, sich auf rajko mŸllers elektronische reisen einzulassen. mit -beau mot plage- bohrte sich mŸller ins internationale hšrbewusstsein. dieser track wurde schon kurz nach seiner veršffentlichung 1999 als eine der einflussreichsten deutschen musikproduktionen seit kraftwerk gehandelt. isolŽes debŸtalbum -rest- holt das ausnahmestŸck von seinem sockel und rŸckt es in den zusammenhang, in den es gehšrt. ausgegliche ausnahmemusik. ein ganzes album lang! mit -rest- gelingt isolŽe aka rajko mŸller das kunststŸck, sich in die herzen der clubgŠnger zu spielen und gleichzeitig von kritikern unterschiedlichster couleur wortgewaltige lobeshymnen auf den leib geschrieben zu bekommen. wahrlich ein klassiker!
