the techno revolution 30 years ago, where boundaries, walls and our own guarded natures came crumbling down? the archaic establishment-challenging attitude and forthright energy of the punks? the long-awaited eruption of gay culture that had burned and yearned since the dawn of mankind? dare you travel even further back? rewind two hundred years to the romantic revolution where men like the blitzed berloiz helped us transcend our physical limitations for suspended moments of fantastique disbeliefÉ all of these moments have shaped us, our music and our culture. each movement comprising artists who like us right now are trying to make sense of the uncertain world, the chaotic present and the fearful future. artists like hell. welcome to the futureÉreflecting over his participation and contribution to myriad cultural movements since the late 70s, his passion of ever-evolving musical form and our current socialpolitical landscape, hell taps into our collective rich histories, our combined fears and our mutual desires to create his most personal, ambitious and thought provoking body of work to date: zukunftsmusik. his fifth studio album zukunftsmusik fuses some of hellÕs strong signature motifs (his passion for subversion, his great kosmiche canvases, sudden throbbing bursts of dancefloor dynamism, subtle songcraft) yet it sounds unlike anything hell has ever created before. there are very few big club singles. a delicate balance of classical dramatic orchestral tension and evocative futuristic synthesis runs throughout. dark and light, hope and fear, fast and slow, day and night.over the course of one hour helmut josef geier invites you on a musical trip of a lifetime his lifetime, your lifetime, musicÕs lifetime.

mit electric lines hat joe goddard zum ersten mal ein umfassendes kŸnstlerisches portrŠt all seiner musikalischen vorlieben entworfen von house, techno und disco bis hin zu uk-garage, r&b und electro-pop. ich hatte das gefŸhl, dass ich mich erstmals mit herz und seele einem soloalbum widmen wollte. entstanden ist es aus dem blickwinkel eines londoners, der mit der clubkultur aufgewachsen ist und ein sehr bewegtes musikalisches leben in dieser stadt gefŸhrt hat. wie four tet, caribou oder jamie xx kombiniert joe goddard eine unbŠndige lust am experiment mit einem instinktiven gespŸr fŸr den dancefloor und einer liebe fŸr progressive popmusik abseits des mainstreams. mit electric lines untermauert goddard seinen platz an der vordersten front britischer produzenten. neben sŠngerin jess mills hat sich joe goddard zudem den hot chip-kollegen alexis taylor und daniel wilson als gŠste eingeladen.

when it comes to a state of trance, thereÕs no desire stronger. we need it in order to make the most of life, to fill the gap that would otherwise remain unfilled. to make us want to be in that moment, to have the very essence of our existence looking for that emotion. itÕs what we live for. with Ôa state of trance 2017Õ, the titans of trance have gathered round to show us all that we envision. it is a happy place where we can celebrate music and life, chock-full with exclusive records and emotion-driven cuts from flag-bearers such as alexander popov, armin van buuren, marlo, omnia, orjan nilsen, protoculture, super8 & tab. the compilation has captured the essence of all we hold so dear, touching us in ways that makes us shine even brighter. if you are part of the movement, you will share its beliefs and swear by its ideals. yet, few words are needed to explain the feeling. one phrase says it all. i live for that energy.

er ist australier, doch lebt in island. sein letztes albums aurora (mute) sorgte fŸr furore. a new kind of force and momentum on the back of whiplashing electronics, beschrieb pitchfork das werk. durch den erfolg beflŸgelt, kollaborierte er jŸngst mit kŸnstlern wie the swans und tim hecker. bevor diesen herbst sein neues studio-album erscheint, legt er nun mit -music from fortitude- den soundtrack zu der tv-serie fortitude vor. die von sky atlantic produzierte serie, gilt als nordic noir par excellence. die musik von ben frost begleitet die cineastische bilderwelt kongenial: dŸstere sounds šffnen weitlŠufige rŠume und ziehen den hšrer hypnotisch in ihren bann.

ambient power duo anjous sophomore statement continues in the vein of their 2014 debut, unfurling a full hour of mesmeric synthetic drift and veiled melodic undertow. comprised of mark nelson (of pioneering post-rock experimentalists labradford and pan american) and robert donne (of labradford, aix em klemm, cristal), the group work largely in long-form suites of sound, alternately spacious and dense. the new lps six pieces embrace flux and ambiguity: drones swell and shudder, hushed currents of noise glitch and dissolve, atmospheres congeal and liquify. as with the participants prior projects, anjou evoke a shadowed, mysterious mood, variously melancholy and transcendent. the album is an accumulation of craftsmanship and experience, blurred forms traced in light and fog.

pophop looks like a pirate, and what he launches from his music studio sounds like pirate ships. on board of these ships there s always a very colorful, exotic bunch of personalities. they are the multicultural characters of the original tracks from all corners of the world. under the command of pophop they sail straight towards the eye of the thunderstorm, which means the heart of the dancefloor. it s the place where he feels home. little by little pophop accumulated so many remixes, edits and own tracks that they fill a whole treasure chest. that s exactly what you get: a treasure chest full of dancefloor gold, and a string of pearls that is a mixed version of all these precious grooves.

the record cover shows a woman walking towards dusk - or is it dawn. two years after the success of night moves, a wander through a threatening nocturnal los angeles, h burns returns with a new record for twilight. kid we own the summer finds its identity between a few landmarks such as david lynch and angelo badalamentis california, the intimacy of bruce springsteens darkness on the edge of town, the relative calmness of suicideÕs second album, and the elegant melancholy of the national. in order to compose, renaud brustlein aka h burns decided to reinvent himself once again. he didnt repeat the live configuration that he used in 2013 with off the map, an electric storm recorded in chicago, with a band, in a single week, with the legendary steve albini. for kid we own the summer, the composer started working in his home studio, by gradual touches, because thereÕs no place like home. the result? a melancholy cinematic stroll across stories of misguided couples, unspoken words that end-up ruining peoples lives, the pursuit of dangerous situations, like an elegy to the end of adolescence - leading to a place were unsure of. born from a keyboard, a piano and a beatbox, these ten songs were brought to light, as always with infinite delicacy, by impeccable guests-friends strings by bertrand belin and vaporous keyboards by denis clavaizolle (bashung, murat, daniel darc) mixed by rob schnapf (elliot smith, beck) and mastered by the great greg calbi (springsteen, dylan, paul simon). noisey said of night moves that it was the perfect record for all the cold and sad months to come

based on the eponymous play by brothers and author/performer team tobi and mike mŸller at schauspielhaus zŸrich, swiss experimental documentary film a1 traverses through time and space along switzerlandÕs first and most elongated highway structure. rich in archival sources, it sheds light on the costs and benefits of rapid movement: social, migratory and ecological patterns, economic and military designs that are mostly not immediately obvious to the casual motorist. stefan goldmannÕs soundtrack engages the filmÕs multi-layered aesthetics full on, providing a dazzling array of short compositions. profoundly synthetic in production, this free-wheeling phantasmagoria of peculiar, yet intensely likeable miniatures branches off into all directions Ð from minimalistic to overflowing, calm to banging, nightmarish to soothing. the visual patina of historic documents is playfully mirrored in intense distortion and noise artifacts, bound into rhythmic units and melodies formed of ghost notes. finding ever new ways of mining his techno background to yield surprising new forms and ideas, stefan goldmann has proven his abilities in a dazzling range of projects over the past years. works for dance, ensembles, an opera and various object-based creations made him a natural choice for the job of finding a refreshing way of linking sound and image. on its own, the music holds up by putting the listener on a high-velocity road trip of the curious mind.

welcome back to the movielike resonating sound world of the 23s. already in 2008 the mysterious one-man band proofed with the album ÒboliviaÓ that they are trying to do another kind of music Ð something that isnÕt entertainment, something that isnÕt show, something that goes gently straight to your soul. now the producer from nord-rhine-westphalia did it again and tuned in the longplayer ÒflamingoÓ. anew he delivers a special kind of cinematic journey music that grooves opposite to his other, more rhythm based hypnotic dance productions. also as the 23s he produces pattern-based music, but it pursues a different intention: each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films that his inner eye creates unprejudiced. all ten tracks are romantic smooth operators. they put themselves in service of an artistic vision, in which the listener should get lost in music. the album can be seen as a love-letter to the movie scores of the french 70s cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements you can hear in the early cinema of peter greenaway. with double bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there and beats that recollect the warm jazz influenced soul of oldschool hip-hop the 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. you can listen to it attentive. or you can just play it in the back while doing whatever you like to do. it is recommended to play ÒflamingoÓ in a decent amount of volume as all loungey tracks begin to live bigger and brighter with sound intensity. if you play it flashy you will experience an atmospheric sometimes light-flooded, sometimes foggy 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls to fill the room between the notes with their very own milky fancy. soon the album will be accompanied by a bunch of remixes tuned in and twisted by producers like giegling and white artists edward, christian s of the c—meme tribe, canadian producer the mole and the german post rock and electronic music band to rococo rot.
