claude debussy (+1918) was one of the most popular and forward thinking composer associated with impressionist music. his innovative and at this time new way to compose music with non traditional scales and chromaticism inspired countless artists from the likes of steve reich, philip glass, miles davis and herbie hancock. remarkable attributes of his music were i.e. the usage of parallel chords, bitonality and many compositions of whole-tone and pentatonic scales and all this surely reminds us on contemporary electronic music where you hardly find limits or boundaries when it comes to traditional, harmonic sounding scale tone music. after studying countless composers of the last centuries marc romboy decided to accept the challenge to edit, remix and reconstruct several works of his favorite french composer, ranging from ãla merÒ to -pr�lude � l apr�s-midi d un fauneÒ. romboy: ãone sentence of debussy impressed me a lot when he said that he simply intents to write new sounding music. this is and has been exactly my goal, to create kind of unheard soundsÒ. on the album romboy performs together with the dortmund philharmonic orchestra, the renowned conductor ingo-martin stadtm�ller, the well respected d�sseldorf based concert master miki kekenj and sound programmer ali khalaj. the recordings was directed december 12th 2016. its the first live recording ever released on an album where electronic sounds and classical components were merged in such manner.

having come up with an annual-ish drop of 12inches since 2010, even brenden aka chmmr set aside the spring of 2016 to challenge himself to a new format: a full-length album. a true nostalgic, he uses compass point-era and early italo sounds for inspiration and attempts to simulate these styles. this makes for a melodic, chuggy and graphic album that belongs a little more in the living room than on the dance floor. with 10 tracks of dusty rhythms and the honest, naive and spacious themes that is brendenÕs signature, its a record designed to signal that todays technological future may not be as different as yesterdays. features a nice-looking cover painting drawn by the late harold cohenÕs aaron program - automation at its finest. hidden behind his chmmr moniker is even brenden, whose summery debut found its way into the world via norwegian psych-disco label luna flicks in 2010. the record became somewhat of a soughtafter item and after making pit stops at relish, d¿dpop and untz untz records, he landed on prins thomas full pupp in 2014 and have stayed put ever since, all the while enjoying a steady habit of record jocking and the occasional keyboard duty in telephones now-defunct live band. even resides in oslo makes odd waves without vowels.

it is a great album! it sounds like he had passed through my lessons. (tony allen) although i did not think deeply about it but i felt that a certain time had come for me and i decided to produce my solo album. it was 20 years since i first started playing drums and since then, out of all the brilliant artists who live in japan that i played with, i wanted to freely enlist players who i really wanted to create music with. the initial catalyst was my strong yearning, wanting to know, what sort of creativity would result, if i produced my own album.

suction records is thrilled to present the debut archival album release by rx-101, a bedroom techno producer from the netherlands, erik jong. -like yesterdays- compiles 10 tracks from rx-101 s first two vinyl-only 12- eps, together with three cd/digital album exclusives. this previously unreleased material dates from 1997-1999, recorded live to cassette in a feverish burst of creativity, utilizing a small arsenal of classic techno instruments. here s rx-101 in his own words: -from childhood i loved dance music. in the 80s one of my older brothers always recorded mixes from the radio and we always listened to that. my other brother and sister took music lessons in electronic organ and when i was about 9 years old i did the same. i quit when i was 14. from childhood i was fascinated by synthesizers. in the late 80s i started more and more listening to dance and house music and it was 1991 when i started listening to techno from labels like underground resistance, transmat, metroplex, +8 records and warp

pastoral/tropical soundscapes and post-brutalist compositions by max loderbauer and jacek sienkiewicz from their ÒendÓ cd seem to evoke those situations where can actually hear objects, shapes and time flow itself, a sort of synaesthesia which erases and obliterates beginnings and ends of events, processes and phenomena. apocalyptic and contemplative spaces generated by this pair of seasoned sound creators explode genre bastions of ambient and idm, leading into the spectral areas once explored by such pioneers and popol vuh or ilhan mimaroglu. above all, etheric and extra-sensitive ÒendÓ marks the meeting of two incurable individualists, who use various tools of their trade to come up with a surprisingly atemporal effect, an insistent pulse of detail on an ever-morphing background. without vivid commentary and recognizable soundbites of the present, ÒendÓ is simultaneously an interesting projection of hopes and anxieties of the new age. core of tracks included on the record has been produced on the occasion of max and jacek appearing as a live duo during 2015Õs berlin atonal festival, which resulted in well received Òalpine-tatra-himalaianÓ ep Òridges-. remaining compositions are natural conclusion of their friendship, conversations, meetings, trips and recording sessions that operate according to the rule of free improvisation with a reduced instrumental setup.

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

the long established and critically acclaimed dj-kicks series kicks off 2017 with suitably accomplished dj, producer, vocalist and instrumentalist matthew dear at the helm. a man of many musical hats, texas born, detroit raised dear has a wide reaching discography that takes in face melting techno as jabberjaw, dark avant-pop under his own name and intricate minimal as audion. often with a gothic slant and full of curiousness, his pensive but playful music is an intoxicating distillation of many different influences, often with his own stylised vocals at the centre

the micronaut vertont jenen moment, wenn das quietschen der s-bahn und die schritte auf dem nassen asphalt im d�mmrigen himmel �ber den stra§en verhallt sind. jenen moment, wenn die verlorenen seelen der abgase und bremslichtern zwischen den h�usern umherirren, hinter deren leuchtenden fenster sich tr�ume und ausstiegsfantasien f�rs bett vorbereiten. wenn alle nah beieinander sind und doch jeder f�r sich ist, wenn die stadt ruhig wird und in den k�pfen ihrer bewohner immer noch gesch�ftiges treiben herrscht. irgendwo zwischen bass music, electronica und pop findet stefan streck die rhythmisch-melodische entsprechung dieser epischen atmosph�re. dass er dabei einen ausgepr�gten hang zur trag�die hat, das findet nicht nur in der leidenschaftlich-impulsiven geste seiner live-auftritte ausdruck, sondern auch auf forms, seinem dritten studio-album auf acker records, vertrieben durch kompakt. der fiebrige spannungszustand seines n�chtlichen stadt-blues nimmt zwischen momenten der gedankenverlorenen melancholie und endorphingeladener aufbruchstimmung immer wieder neue formen an.

a year after their impressive last album burn it down, detroit techno legends octave one are back with a nine track double ep that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves. entitled love by machine, the albums name is a nod to the fact that the burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. that is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the 80s, most often releasing on their own 430 west label, which is where they appear again here.

nach der neunteiligen 12--serie im sommer 2016 erscheint die -previously unreleased- kollektion aus �berarbeiteten demos und unver�ffentlichtem material nun als limitierte doppel-cd. aufgenommen f�r das playgroup deb�talbum zwischen 1997-2001, bleibt die hedonistische mixtur aus disco, dub, funk, electro, new wave und post-punk zeitlos. die 25 tracks wurden von trevor jackson unter mithilfe von sasha crnobrnja (in flagranti) aufgefrischt und featuren den produzenten ed dmx, mike z (crash course in science) on vocals und den jungen kieran hebden (four tet) an der gitarre

a good place to start. her basic sound and image were interior-life bohemian, and in some ways she was cagey with her talent. she didnt belt or improvise broadly. she picked a limited range of notes and climbed into them, applying a pinch of vibrato, letting her voice fade and crackle. these tracks clearly demonstrate her guiding desire, which was to explore the possibilities of the slow blues in the late 20th century, whatever that might mean. some of the most intense recordings she made were english-language covers or japanese rewrites of american jazz standards, blues songs and spirituals, backed by only acoustic guitar and drums. she sang slowly, as if there were weights on her. and after a while of her working and your listening, youll hear it: the way she connects intimately with her task but keeps something private for herself (new york times)

flames & figures ist das zweite album von the seshen. ihr progressiver sound kombiniert synthesizer, drum maschinen, live percussion und hinrei§ende harmonien, die eine unverkennbare mischung aus r&b, synth-pop und elektronischer musik ergeben. die in san francisco ans�ssige siebenk�pfige band wird von s�nger lalin st. juste und bassist / produzent akiyoshi ehara angef�hrt. das duo wird von f�nf bemerkenswerten musikern begleitet: s�ngerin kasha rockland, drummer chris thalmann, keyboarder mahesh rao, percussionist mirza kopelman und sampler kumar butler. sie supporteten live-bands wie hiatus kaiyote, thundercat, petite noir oder tune-yards. soundtechnisch irgendwo zwischen den koordinaten j dilla, little dragon, beach house und erykah badu anzusiedeln.

the ultimate hits 2016

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

les sans pattes is the rock band of robert combas (world renowned contemporary painter and creator of the free figuration movement) and lucas mancione. both are all-rounder, multi-instrumentalists, rigorous and nutty at the same time. they handle plastic arts, are musicians, video makers, actors, performers in short, complete artists. theyve got a rich and eclectic repertoire of more than 100 songs, and no limit: youÕll hear them moving from rock to techno, from a love song to punk, with the same dexterity in each and every register. if you have the chance to be in paris around june 24th, theyll deliver a live performance during michel houellebecqÕs exhibition, at the palais de tokyo, to inaugurate the release of their album. tracklist dvd: 1.ta peau (feat gael manangou) 2.animal, cuir noir 3.une fin de quelque chose 4.la danse de lamour 5.ta peau (live)

after the hip hop after all tour, guts confirms in an idea more than this in the back of his head to make an album where the proportions 80% samples and programming / live 20% would be reversed. ok! an album to push further his musical exploration, go to the electro-funk, afro-disco, space jazz. add choir here, the talkbox there, play a monstrous bassline, a fiery sax solo instruments or let slip only several minutes: guts did nothing forbidden, opened the doors of the studio, broke the unlocked windows and vents so that no breath or vibration is left out.

following contributions by dj deep and dj hell, tresor records are proud to present the third instalment in their kern mix-series, this time headed by berlin based producer objekt, his first release following his 2014 debut album flatland for pan. in keeping with the series mission of showcasing a more personal approach to mixing hertz describes his process as such, kern vol. 3 is made up of tracks that i know i will play and love for years to come. some of these records have been in my bag for years others are almost as new to me as they are to you. a handful are by lesser known artists whom i admire and who i think deserve wider recognition. planned, recorded, embellished, reworked, tweaked and chiselled away at over a period of 6 months, the mix was gradually carved out in a way that makes use of new and old techniques alike, presenting itself primarily as a dj mix but settling in a sweet spot between live recording and studio trickery. the tracklist spans styles, decades and bpms in an attempt to craft a mix thats unpredictable and compelling in equal measure Ð one that draws from the more adventurous corners of my club sets, but above all, one thats a pleasure to listen to.

wie im sturm erobert die londoner vorzeige-formation mit ihren hits die herzen. f�r rudimental ist es keine frage des genres. ihr progressiver, souliger sound kennt keine grenzen. ob drum n bass, future soul, house, reggae oder pop, ihre dancefloor-taugliche mischung gr�ndet stets in der liebe zu dem was sie tun. und dieser wiederum verdanken sie ihr weitreichendes musikalisches umfeld, das sie zu einem der einflussreichsten und dynamischsten live-acts der stunde macht.

derzeit existiert ein hype um den in manchester geborenen und in london ansässigen dj/produzenten sam shepherd. als dj legt er besten house, techno, soul und disco auf. als produzent elektronischer musik mit klassischer ausbildung beherrscht er die wunderbare kunst, eine äußerst organische fusion aus jazz, klassik, electronica, soul und brasilianischer musik zu kreieren, die er mit einem 11 bis 16 köpfigen ensemble auch so beeindruckend live vorführt, dass einem der atem stockt. zu seinen fans zählen four tet, theo parrish und kode 9. nach seinen aussagen kulminiert in seinem debütalbum elaenia alles, was er bislang musikalisch geleistet hat. jedes dj-set, das er spielte, jedes talent, das er produzierte und jede komposition, die er bislang schrieb, sind vorboten dieses werkes.
