privacy has released well-received records with labels like lobster theremin and klasse wrecks. now he thinks its a good idea to enlist with the ranks of determined weirdos over at valcrond video. why? the valcrond offices are replete with alluring snacks. cornucopia-level amounts of treats, both sweet and salty.

q3a is a new alias of route 8, a producer who has credits on labels like lobster theremin and nous as well as black venison. now the producer serves up a sumptuous four track ep, space chamber, on the delsin label and it touches on many different styles with equally great results. lost souls is first and is an expansive bit of well driven deep house with rich synths and cavernous innards that really suck you in. next up is another serenely crafted bit of atmospheric house with dusty drums and lose hits all backed with heavenly pads and retro bass. the first of the b-side tracks is a chunky acid kicker with angelic vocals drifting up top as a controlled 303 line rips up the foreground. spaced out and deep, driving yet emotive, it is a moving bit of club music before the b2 trips you out on a silvery electro tip with its icy lines and slap-funk snares. overall, this is an expansive and perfectly formed ep and comes with a sleeve by boris tellegen.

the second 12” from the burgeoning proto sites imprint comes from hungarian deconstructivist s olbricht. trancess plunges into hazy ambient techno and distorted house depths, exploring the gritty themes present in his recent cut for lobster theremin and the consistent body of work for the likes of opal tapes, gang of ducks, sicsic or his own farbwechsel imprint.

proto sites present their debut vinyl release featuring three tracks of hazy, murky ambient and bass-loaded techno from lobster theremin s imre kiss (with a special appearance from fellow hungarian and label-mate, s olbricht) plus three slabs of abstract, experimental workings from casi cada minuto, taking things into serious dream-state territory. 200 copies, red vinyl in beautiful packaging. mastered by stephen bishop.

final chapter was started in 2013 by stockholm s sean dixon, along with support from perseus traxx. a label which is happy to let the music do the talking, final chapter is now on it s fifth release, and shows no sign of being prepared to letting the book close. the journey of detroit and chicago influenced house and techno continues on this release as label head sean dixon presents an ep split between himself and boston s john barera, who s previous releases outside of his own label, supply records, have issues fourth on soul clap and dolly, as well as steffis panorama bar mix cd on ostgut ton. remix duties come courtesy of berlin based producer, palms trax, who s first outing was in 2013 on lobster theramin.

*i cant even afford bed linen, let alone a 909*. the unpretentious of jay donaldson is disarming in many different ways. we consider donaldson aka palms trax to be one of the most promising new artists to date. his sound situates him firmly along the chicago-detroit axis, cooking up pad-driven jams, off kilter drums and hazy synths that shift like a gentle musical tide. in 2013 he inaugurated the lobster theremin label, the london-based imprint that quickly became one of the most talked about record labels around. when not travelling the world for prime-time gigs donaldson holds a residency at the widely respected berlin community radio. it is with great pleasure that we welcome golden boy palms trax to dekmantel records.

the title track crystal city shows a real understanding of the techno aesthetic, combining cathedral like atmospherics with rough, raw and rugged drums. the italian tape saturation master steve murphy (lobster theremin/chiwax/wilson) is employed to remix the title track. murphy brings the track back in to the realms of house and sprinkles it with his analogue know how to turn in a sub rumbling interpretation

lobster theremin launch their first sublabel proper, heralding a darker, murkier and deeper sound on their newly minted mörk imprint. retaining its mother labels passion for championing newcomers, mörk launches with a debut release from young netherlandic producer nthng. cultivating a sound that sits somewhere between prince of denmark and early claro intelecto with splashes of clone influence, nthngs stripped-back techno walks fuzzy, shrouded paths through nolstagic moments in time. at times almost drowning, his engulfing sound is a raw reminder of the power of subtlety and the use of meditative looping along with a rough-around-the-edges production style has led to an incredibly moving debut work.

following releases on redlights lobster boy label & breachs naked naked imprint, mak & pasteman return with their own label, materials.

this brussels-based crustacean s cosmic craft has to be heard to be believed. sounds spring to life from forgotten corners of your speakers, each one battling for your attention yet always emerging at the right time and the right place, painting its part of the picture. shards of broken breakbeat litter the sea-bed and form a solid back bone for this invertebrate s innovative use of samples, synths and instrumentation. leading you from one vast soundscape to the next, complete with unexpected plot twists in foreign waters, squeaky lobster s beats take you out of the aquarium and into the abyss. lapti (rus). this russian beatmaker scavenges most of his samples right off vhs or dictaphone tapes. melodies you ve never heard, together with familiar retro samples, create a nostalgic and cinematic mood. masterly produced hip hop instrumentals, a clear and fresh sound, new themes and original interpretations of old and good - this is the spin of lapti

standard cd im softpack mit artwork von lee marshall. having recently made his inaugural outing on brainfeeder with aphelion ep, british producer ross from friends aka felix clary weatherall returns with his debut album on flying lotus label. family portrait is characterised by a perpetual desire to experiment and felixs obsessive attention to detail, somehow marrying an intricately layered production style with warm, heavily saturated sonics that elevate, rather than stifle, his melodious funk. with a handful of revered 12inches under his belt via breaker breaker, lobster theremin, distant hawaii, magicwire and a 10inch on molten jets. family portrait showcases his ability to shift and evolve, moving from the world of lo-fi to the world of flylo

after establishing himself with rough but emotive house as rimbaudian and jungle as birds of sweden, he unveiled his dj seinfeld alias to the world, first with underground hit single u, then with his time spent away from u album on lobster fury in november 2017. it was a post break-up love letter to the dance floor with heart-on-sleeve emotions colouring the dusty and analogue house grooves. acclaim came in from far and wide, with everyone from rolling stone to pitchfork fawning over its heart swelling nostalgia and melancholic immediacy. jakobsson approached his dj-kicks with the intention of representing all the things that made him fall in love with dance music more than a decade ago, as well as showing some of the progression that has occurred in that time and reflecting the simultaneous fear of leaving something safe behind as well as the excitement of venturing into unknown territories, musically and emotionally.

since the millennium 2raumwohnung unites electronic sounds and pop melodies in a variety of ways. the early singles wir trafen uns in einem garten (2000) or 2 von millionen sternen (2001) playfully communicated the life-style of a new berlin. the duo, consisting of inga humpe and tommi eckart, started as a studio project and continued to develop via eight album productions. at the same time, an important impulse included developments in techno or house music. their most successful album 36 grad stayed in the german album-charts for 33 weeks, 2raumwohnung continued to expand their stage range as well.

(1 cd album in a jewel case) the album is newly recorded sound track of the >a trip to the moon< film by georges melies in 1902. the lobster films in france has released a dvd of the same film with jeff mills sound tracks in november 2016.the famous silent film is only for 16 minutes or so but mills has finished the entire tracks for this sound track album
