contemporary scarecrow continue with a four track ep from the acid mondays with hoffmans bumbag ep. before albert hoffman, inventor of lsd, embarked on his final trip into the ether he gathered his lifes work and zipped it into his favourite bumbag. these secrets have remained concealed until now. expect 4 dimensions of interlocking sound matrixes and shapes from this vinyl only ep.

neues label aus muenchen, das um das projekt selbstversorgersound herum entstanden ist. die polyrhythmic series widmet sich techno zwischen dub, kraut und lsd-trip. die fuenf tracks der ep kommen von günther lause (karlsruhe/ berlin, crosstown rebels, paradise now!, laut und luise, svs), larkin & the sky (london/munich, paradise now!, goldsmith, svs), bartellow (munich, pollyester, tambien, columbus, gta hoffmann, svs), zaquoir (alias matthias groß, leipzig, svs) und lukas rabe (leipzig, gta hoffmann, svs).

chicago legend mr gene hunt and the mysterious black booby combine to deliver 3 perfectly formed tracks for the deserning dancefloors.

l.s.d. light sensorial deviant e.p. is inspired by the a. hoffmans concept and his creature, one of the most well-known substances on the psychedelic planet, lsd. on the a side there are two light spheres tracks, on the b side two tracks of lyser. the vinyl copies are coloured green, and with a great artwork created by 2otsu as cover.

whilst most of us would associate the productions of butch with his effortlessly flowing, melodic and uplifting style, perfect music for the summer floors and terraces.... of late, the turkish born producer has been channeling back into his tougher and dare we say it, more butch techno sounds. having bathed us in the gorgeous tones of previous hits such as >papillon< and >eyes wide open<, butchs latest work for quartz music sees him expanding further on his recent chemically inspired cecille release >lsd 25<, by serving up a large helping of acid on, >303<. sinister and deadly, the creeping corrosive cut is perfect soundtrack for those dark strobe lit moments. >soul leaves body< sees on the polar opposite side of our trip as the blissed out beats of the tabla and strains of the sitar sweep us away an ethereal bed of sound.

so what is after the void ... we bang the bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenades, obvious really! having been away for some time it appears that a light sounds dark spring is in the air. en route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants danger electrified tracks out this summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, its full steam ahead and proper european dance music time. not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like maltas very own ian dury by the name of iain richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic italo covers of big in japan, gloria, a wonderful new wave version of falcos euro smash der kommissar and the thoughts massive german hit wait a long time sounding like some long lost talk talk record. light sounds dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems axodrys you and colme 111s you take me high (early euro take on chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky theres some groovy goings on from kraut funksters epsilon urging people to leave the city which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.

the beautiful granville days volumes are a series of outtakes, remixes, and previously unreleased recordings from the operating days of the label beautiful granville records. some of the tracks are simply making their first appearances on vinyl. check!

the byrds were one of the earliest groups who could combine the best of two worlds. they caught on to the energy of the british invasion and combined it with the lyricism & musical elements of the contemporary folk movement.
along the way they pioneered psychedelic and country rock, always keeping things recognizable with their vocal harmonies accompanied by their jangly guitars.
on their third album >fifth dimension< from 1966 they started showing a more lsd-tinged side of themselves with the psychedelic rock of songs such as >eight miles high< and >i see you< and a preference for the indian raga.
one of their most pioneering albums re-issued on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!

>stone coal white< ist die erste veröffentlichung des dj shadow labels cali-tex seit über dreieinhalb jahren. das trio aus dayton, ohio veröffentlichte lediglich zwei singles in kleinstauflagen und war nur absoluten kennern bekannt. neben den 4 songs der beiden singles sind 4 weitere, bislang unveröffentliche songs enthalten, die in einem keller eines verlassenen motoradgangverstecks gefunden wurden. auf den songs verarbeitet die band vietnam albträume, grass, lsd, armut, gewalt und sexualität. das album enthält coverversionen von >hell below< (curtis mayfield) und >aint no sunshine< (bill withers).

who am i? thats what ruede hagelstein asks himself when he looks at the reflection in the mirror every morning when he gets up. then the image goes into the studio and produces tracks for upon you for him. the first one sings >give a little slap to your soul< darkly and romanticly at a relaxed 120 bpm into the mike and has taken up lodgings on a1 of our uy 047. the second plays piano, even if just paraphrased. the b1 beat requires a slightly faster dancer that a1. then the third member of the group on b2 with a quite definitive minimal touch, sounds a bit like peter and the wolf at the lsd opera … hop hop off you go then my lovelies.

boys noize has compiled 12 modern acid jams done by bnr artists and homies like feadz, joakim & krikor and brodinski tributing 20 years of acid....

banging schranz / hardcore by greg notill, taken from the >oedipus complex< album.

return of the famous label with the 6th release. it includes tracks of fer br, preach, cesar almena and a colaboration work of ivan devero & nuke. the result is excellent, a very cool release with high quality sound. all tracks were made to dance. all tracks are 100% techno but they are very different: funk techno, groove and new tech are the sounds youll find in this release. its the release youll hear on all dancefloors this summer. enjoy it!!

solid punishment of the mind with some chemical warfare aimed straight at the dancefloor. so take cover and hide, cause the cannibals are coming to hunt you down and theyre freaking hungry!

>burnout< is hardtechno at its best: pumping, energetic and with a killer break. hard-acid fans will love >lsd< at the b-side, stomping hardtechno with rough 303 basslines. again stunning artwork by ed repka. >burnout< is already supported by pet duo, rush and frank kvitta.

>who is the person you would most like to work with?< for claude vonstroke, its definitely bootsy collins - the biggest personality in parliament funkadelic and funniest character the funk world has ever seen. we couldn’t be any more excited to have bootsy on dirtybird and this crazy collaboration of styles is the lead single on claude vonstroke’s 2nd album, “bird brain.” if you haven’t heard of bootsy we couldn’t write it better than rolling stone… “bootsy collins’ rubber band was the most entertaining and longest-running spin-off of george clinton’s eternal p-funk circus, and that’s because bootsy is a true star, the clown prince of comic, psychedelic, good-times funk – if he weren’t such a genius of the bass, you’d think he was jimmie walker in a sequined costume, star-shaped mirrored shades included. his career is like a horatio alger story based in chocolate city: plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with james brown, the former william collins of cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to jb’s sound, then hooked up with clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from lsd.” it is certain that claude vonstroke is not nearly as accomplished as bootsy collins, but he takes the same tongue-in-cheek approach to his music and that’s why this collaboration really works. both claude and bootsy believe you got to get up for the down stroke and there’s no way to fake the funk or your nose will grow, pinocchio!

next up from the very eclectic rong music is a remix ep from west indian girl.west indian girl is a rock band from los angeles. the bands name comes from a type of lsd that was popular in the early 60s. the initials are also a reference to james and tens previous band, wig scotty coats and wes the mes have fifty years of djing and remixing experience between them but their first release togetheruas wes coatsuis just coming out this month as the first california release on the newly merged dfa and rong music. patterns form hail from texas formed by sammy ragland & chris ornelas in 2000 making a cross between shoegaze trip hop & electronic moving to la in 2004 and forming a full band and have been playing live across the us ever since.

a new gleaming star in the sky, intending to point the way in the promised land, abates the first misty-eyed, playful publication. nonetheless jackin, house-bounce red threads twist thru all tracks, which could not be more divergent. excellent, then each one is a grandiose dj-tool destined to keep the hearing nerves back in time. diversify guaranteed and impossible to keep still. label owners are the always-on-top swiss dj and producer steve cole and the berlin born robert stolt, charactering a part of the dj- and producing team with the pathbreaking name tagträumer2. it was his original contribution, impudent, vibrating propelling was unmistakable jimi hendrixs muse. like his mentor, he cleverly combined rock n roll with reveries, today an explosive mixture. the remix of tigerskin aka dub taylor is a psychedelic sound, that remind us of the best years of bordercommunity, like a nice lsd-trip known in to those days. the cream on the cakeis steve coles remix, maximal in defiance of minimal. he compiles the language of the woodstock heroes into the >sound of berlin< and wrapped it into a story, which can be patiently eavesdropped.

deep techy bizness form the ii this posse

next popof freaked out three tracker

three tracks that look straight to the dancefloor and shout out loud: fight for your right to party! pablo clearly reveals that he is up to pushing grooves, provocative tunes and approves the more functional gangue of karmarouge noir. pablo akaros distances himself from contemporary explicit minimal techno by adding some real dirdy sound elements always well touched with a pinch of vodoo. the a-side track >konnekt köln< is an euphoric rave track wich is characterized by a sophisticated sound architecture of lovingly selected rough and disturbing elements. hands up. >pestana pegada< on the flip side is dark but funky

phat harder percussive techno

ultra hart bangin schranz techno !!!

and here it is, the stunning result of their jammin studio sessions: >tracks from the lab part 2<! this time we have three fantastic märtini brösers pressed on this high-end vinyl. the joy starts with sid on the a-side. playing around with their chemical kit, some friends of the brös claimed to have made a groundbreaking discovery. they found sid as a substitute for lsd /acid. the brös worked out the acid very well in this track. warm regards to dr. hofmann. the b-side serves two more unique tidbits !

big support already coming from dave clarke, sven väth, heiko laux and many others...
