anders trentem¿llers career is a travel-heavy one, with his touring schedule taking him pretty much all over the world. but its his home port thats inspired his latest project, the sprawling, stunning compilation mix Ôharbour boat trips vol. 02: copenhagen. clocking in at just over an hour long, the compilation sees trentem¿ller curate and craft sixteen songs into a heavy, hazy mix that ranges from shoegaze to electronica, featuring both familiar and celebrated artists like a place to bury strangers (with a new trentem¿ller remix) and slowdive to more obscure finds, as well as trentem¿llers own tracks and remixes, most notably a brand new trentem¿ller cover of neil youngs classic Ôtransformer man. the mix sees him pick up a thread he left off earlier in his career. in 2009 he put together Ôharbour boat trips - 01: copenhagen, a compilation mix comprised of his favourite music, both danish and international, from across four decades, loosely inspired by the motion and movement of copenhagens busy harbour. closing in on a decade later, were getting the second edition, with Ôharbour boat trips - 02 arriving this november.

the new album from cypress hill

righteous expensive: motohiko hamaseÕs 1986 album ÒreminiscenceÓ scores a decent prize at online vinyl selling platforms and it is worth each coin! itÕs a perfect Òrefuge from nasty realityÓ, as the glorious british 20jazzfunkgreats blog once said. and it comes from a man that knows his trade: bass play - an artisan on which he also already wrote many theoretical books in his more than four decades long career.

lucy and rrose, now coming together as the lotus eaters, have established themselves separately as techno artists who are just as comfortable operating in the uncharted area of experimental music. running their own labels (stroboscopic artefacts and eaux, respectively), they have gained a cult following, both influencing and challenging the direction of techno.

duke ellington once said that there are 2 kinds of music: the good one and the bad one. with the compilation series shaolin soul we are always certain to be on the right side of the line since its 1st episode released in 1998 and which compiled two dozens of tracks sampled by rza and the wu-tang clan. following a second episode in 2001 and a third one in 2014, the famous curator uncle o is back to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the shaolin soul series with a fourth episode compiling 22 tracks among the rarest and finest treats of soul music, because everybodys talking about the good ol days!

the music contained in this album invokes the vibes and spirit that were so crucial to much of the music recorded during the 1960s & 70s in jamaica. if you talk to the musicians and singers of this era, they will tell you that the driving force behind the songs they created was the sheer love of music. this is one of the reasons these recordings are so powerful and move listeners to this day. music like this can only be made by those who were schooled in the studios and yards around kingston and is not something that can be easily reproduced outside jamaica. the kingston all stars represent some of the most legendary musicians to ever grace the little island & it is thanks to their passion and dedication that we have a lifetime of music to enjoy.

luke viberts technicolor-schwenk durch die welt des modernen funk. kerrier district nennt sich das funkige acid-dance-projekt des englischen elektronikk�nstlers luke vibert. nach einem deb�talbum - erschienen 2004 auf dem label rephlex und zwei maxis erscheint mit 4 erneut ein longplayer. die 14 tracks sind eine gro§artige collage aus samples und beats, old-school-drum-loops, sehr viel acid-funk und intensiver elektronik-disco. inspirieren lie§ sich vibert zum teil von der legend�ren ep -black devil disco club- von bernard fevre aus dem jahr 1978, die seitdem viele musiker beeinflusst hat. schaut man sich die trackliste mit titeln wie treacle tits und -discuntek an, erkennt man zwar eine portion kauzigen humors, doch sollte das nicht zur fehlannahme verleiten, vibert w�rde seinen job nicht ernst nehmen. im gegenteil: 4, das auf cd und als trippel-lp erscheint, ist ein technicolor-schwenk durch die welt des modernen wohlf�hl-funk, basierend auf einer unmenge an material, lustvoller programmierung und fetten b�ssen. der sommer kann kommen.

loke rahbek returns with his fifth album under the croatian amor alias with love means taking action, recently premiered at the 2016 edition of berlin atonal where it was considered by many as one of the festival highlights. although not as harsh and abrasive as previous albums, such as genitalia garden or last years the wild palms, rahbeck still manages to execute a polarising opus, comprised of short ambient journeys which incorporate various sonic influences and clever use of sampling outside of his usual employment of textural noise treatments. field recordings, immaculate synthesis and emotional vocal snippets are interspersed throughout this exploration of love and human connection. the title track, in particular, could well be one of our favourite songs this year. quite simply: breathtaking.

2xcd mixed with all pacha hits 2018

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.

it s been around three years since jpattersson opened up a whole new horizon of formerly unheard possibilities between the worlds of dub and techno. a lot has been happening ever since, and thatÕs very noticeable on his second album. it still has all the signature elements of jpattersson: there s his dreamy, virtuous trumpet play and his witty vocals, there s his dubby delays and heavyweight beats which often line up in a downbeat rhythm. however, besides his fanfares there s now also many folks, many musical friends who contribute to the vibe of this album. there s a track with berlin mc longfingah, latin-flavoured rhythms from polish reggae and dancehall producer dreadsquad as well as a stylistically wide range of remixes that reflect the symbiotic cooperation and mutual inspiration of these last years.

alienus presents a new compilation comprising new and not so new faces on our beloved planet earth. this time, we would like to emphasize that truth is beyond consciousness and consciousness implies duality. consciousness would imply that one is conscious of the truth, hence separate from the truth. some wise humans reckon no one can know the truth, but can be in the truth. music wise, you will find some warm tones that evoke deep and ethereal feelings in the listener. it took us some time to pick specimens capable of delivering these highly sought-after emotions.

all tracks are from tanakas archive (2010-2015), which were produced since he had moved his base in berlin. the idea of the dj mixing with only his own tracks has been gestating for sometime and with his trials during his dj dates in europe, south america and japan the selection of the tracks and combination has been made. the thought process of mixing his own materials could be similar to preparing for his own live set. this recording was done at this home in berlin. all tracks has been released on 12inch vinyl (snd 06.07.08 on 2017) except track 6.

die rohe essenz globaler clubmusik: transkulturelle kollaborationen zwischen 90 und 130 bpm.
nach -they made us do it- von 2011 ist -lost on earth- das dritte studioalbum von andi und hannes teichmann. man kennt die beiden exilbayern nicht nur seit den sp�ten neunzigern als nimmerm�de djs der berliner technolandschaft (berghain, panorama bar, wmf, watergate, bar 25), sondern auch durch workshops, konzerte und projekte in �ber 60 l�ndern - reine clubmusik zu produzieren war den zwei br�dern nie genug. unter anderem initiierten sie mit dem goethe institut die vielbeachteten projekte blnrb (nairobi/berlin) sowie ten cities, das afrikanische und europ�ische szenen verband. zuletzt machten die umtriebigen wanderer zwischen den welten durch ihr kollaborationsgro§projekt -karachi files- auf sich aufmerksam. -lost on earth- wurde in zimbabwe, mexiko, nigeria, kenia und berlin mit g�sten wie abe duque (nyc), mc psychotek (bulawayo), wura samba (lagos), santiago rodrigues & signal deluxe (mexico city), sasha perera (berlin), max turner (noland) und dem kunstkollektiv masai mbili aufgenommen. es enth�lt elektronische st�cke, die zwischen 90 und 130 beats per minute angesiedelt sind und mit gerader vierviertel, hip-hop und spirituellen afrikanischen sounds die rohe essenz globaler clubmusik einfangen. -lost on earth- erscheint auf dem familieneigenen label noland.

cd edition in 2-panel digipack, 20-page booklet with exclusive pictures and notes from jeanne moreau, fran�ois truffaut and cyrius bassiak (aka. serge reznavi).an emblematic actress and a memorable figure of the french chanson scene, jeanne moreau passed away in 2017. she started singing as an amateur in theatre like the com�die fran�aise, but always wanted Òto sing balladsÓ. the man who wrote her first songs was her friend: the painter cyrus bassiak (pseudonym of serge rezvani) and like for many other artists jacques canetti was the one who brought her to a recording studio to record her first songs in 1963. this album pays homage to jeanne moreau by compiling for the very first time all the songs written by cyrus bassiak, including 4 songs that were nowhere to be found until today.

we are living in precarious times. a senile, racist old man prone to temper tantrums has his tiny hands on the controls of the most powerful military machine the world has ever known. a handful of his (no less dangerous) international business associates and personal friends possess more collective wealth than the rest of us put together. the oceans and forests of the planet are dying slow deaths by asphyxiation, force fed 300 million tons of single use plastic garbage every year, and the temperature, both literal and rhetorical, rises the world over with each passing day.

2 cd in a beautiful gatefold cover.
salvation is found by identifying thesis and antithesis of a logically conceived duality as a receptive polarity which is then synthesized and expressed on a higher level. thereby practicing what is preached is the all-embracing love in the presence of the creator. the purest original state pre-dating the judgmental so called >fall of man< in unity with life itself is the principle of holiness and the root of inner peace. glory to g-d!

this album contains:
2x cd

gatefold cd-cover with 8mm spine and a handpainted picture.

after more than three years of silence as a producer, efdemin a.k.a phillip sollmann returns with a striking hybrid concept that merges the album format with the -continuous dj mix- format, presenting completely new material in a seamless manner. this cd-mix, named na�f, officially reinstates his label of the same name and is a sprawling tour of inner space featuring 19 distinct tracks from fellow producers (e.g. margaret dygas, steve bicknell, jeroen search, pom pom, marco shuttle or gunnar haslam) along with an additional ten that feature efdemin himself (either as soloist or collaborator). the release condenses his decade-long dj-ing journey and evolution as a producer into a single potent elixir of contemporary techno. owing to his additional projects, such as collaborating with pan artist konrad sprenger on a modular organ system to be installed in museums, or scoring for a neue musik ensemble, the berlin-based efdemin is known as hiker between the worlds . his regular stints at berghain or panoramabar, his partnership with established labels (e.g. ostgut ton, dial, sushitech) and the leadership of his own na�f imprint all demonstrate that since more than a decade.

body music lp produced by a man who needs little introduction. thomas p. heckmann has flexed his prowess across all shades of electronic music, but itÕs his contributions to ebm-techno, acid, industrial, and experimental that has earned him his notoriety. heckmann has utilised 30 years worth of acquired knowledge to create a hard-hitting album which bears all the grit he is known for - harmonising analogue and digital wares to create an utterly immersive 11 track album.

it seems somehow surprising that its only now that james zabiela enters the fold of balances compilation selectors. a perfect fit for the series, his unfeasibly intricate approach to djing shinesthrough on this sprawling two-parter, created through a back-and-forth process between his pioneer ddj-rz and ableton and featuring two exclusive new productions from the man himself.

nach drei alben auf kompakt, zuletzt signs under test- im jahr 2015, kehrt der us-amerikanische house- und techno-produzent john tejada mit dem elf-tracker dead start program zum k�lner label zur�ck. eine reise, die das spektrum von johns stilen umfasst - von seinen charakteristischen soul-techno-melodien bis hin zu den hypnotischen mustern seiner trance-electro-hybride. ob solo oder durch seine vielzahl von kollaborationen tejada besch�ftigt sich mit allen elementen innerhalb und au§erhalb der club-umgebung. sei es auf seinem (44.) fabric mix, als schlagzeuger mit der detroit legende daniel bell als dbx, mit tin man auf acid test oder mit dem selbsternannten desinformator reggie watts als wajatta. vom arrhythmischen maschinenspuk des openers autoseek �ber den h�mmernden puls von hypochondriac und dem schwerlidrigen breakbeat von sleep spindle zur kosmische infundierten vibration von telemetry, der lebendigen traegheit von loss und clubbigen winde von duty cycle und heal bahnt sich john auf dead start program seinen weg durch genres und tempi mit optimalem chamaeleon-effekt. das artwork, basierend auf einem bild von mark richards, wurde von johns langj�hrigem freund juan mendez aka silent servant, ein ebenfalls wichtiger mitwirkender der los angeles szene, designed. der titel dead start program bezieht sich hierbei auf das analoge start-up-programm eines alten cdc 6600 computers aus einem toten anfang zu booten. dies l�dt in johns eigenen worten metaphorisch dazu ein, einen neustart von den herausforderungen, die das leben mit sich bringt zu beginnen.

kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flowÉ a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing. just like the sampler and the dj before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. Ôuniverse digs deeper into the android vocal chords. the album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during berlin lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. by striking the keys, kuf squeeze out and serve up all the soul accumulated in those savory phonetic shreds.

im fluss der neun st�cke l�st sich der komponist auf und macht musik in ihrer ureigensten dynamik erfahrbar. man wird zeuge davon, wie sich n�he und intimit�t zu weite und gewalt wandeln, sowie sch�nheit in alledem zu finden ist - vor allem aber im vergehen. konsequent entwickelt strom dabei verschiedenste formwelten, erscheint neblig gef�hrlich, dann wieder ganz direkt, fast verspielt, bis hin zum erstarren vor der eigenen gr�§e. dabei wurden f�r strom keine pointen erdacht und keinerlei ma§ genommen. stattdessen wirkt es so, als ob martin kohlstedt es geschafft h�tte, der intuition ein monument zu bauen. dabei sind unab�nderliche denkm�ler gar nicht kohlstedts spezialit�t, ganz im gegenteil. bekannt geworden ist der th�ringer vor allem f�r die energie und unberechenbarkeit seiner konzerte. nach zwei solo-piano alben legte er schablonen f�r das instrument ab und entwickelte seine eigene selbstverst�ndlichkeit, elektronik und effekte so zu spielen, als seien sie nur weitere tasten auf der schwarzwei§en klaviatur. strom ist martin kohlstedts drittes studioalbum und ebenso ein destillat dieser entwicklung wie auch ein blick in die zukunft: bevor der komponist auf sein publikum trifft, prallt er in diesem ersten aller r�ume mit sich selbst zusammen. inszenierung ist hier fehl am platz. sound und struktur treten hinter den wunsch, mit der musik andere orte zu erreichen. man h�rt dem nach - seinen h�nden - die all die arbeit verrichten, feinf�hlig und gr�§enwahnsinnig zugleich. und bleibt doch ganz bei sich, wie auf seinen konzerten. mehr braucht man �ber martin kohlstedt nicht zu wissen.

house music broke through in 1987, at the same time when aids arrived in france with the first contamination peak in gay and drug addict circles. in 1989, the founders of act-up paris knew that both the fight against aids and triumphant house music should be joined together. from 1992 to 1995, the period covered by Ò120 bpm-, house reached its most beautiful plateau even though techno was becoming dominant. Ò120 bpmÓ is a get-together moment through clubbing, this moment where fears are forgotten by dancing with oneÕs friends, what we called Òthe chosen familyÓ at act-up. boys and girls dancing in a club where the walls cannot be seen, flooded with simple light. this is their activist recess. arnaud rebotini, composing the soundtrack of robin campilloÕs previous film, Òeastern boys-, is a recognized dj, a composer and a kind man, which is for me the most important quality. here, his work is marked by restraint of his love for house and after techno. i believe he deliberately withdrew himself in relation to the filmÕs power and the aids theme.

in seiner fast 25-j�hrigen karriere hat paul fast alles erreicht, was man in der internationalen dance-welt erreichen kann: mehrfach wurde er von den dj mag-lesern zum no.1 weltbesten dj gew�hlt, 2014 sogar zur no.1 aller zeiten. sein klassiker -for an angel- (1994) z�hlt f�r das mixmag zu den 10 besten dance-tracks aller zeiten. weltstars wie madonna, u2, depeche mode, new order oder rammstein nehmen seine remixk�nste in anspruch. paul spielt j�hrlich �ber 150 shows, mit 1.5 millionen g�sten gelang ihm silvester 2008 in rio de janeiro ein neuer publikumsrekord. und seine w�chentliche radioshow -vonyc sessions- feierte im mai 2016 ihre 500. folge und geh�rt mit einer durchschnittlichen downloadrate von 250.000 zu den 10 beliebtesten dance-formaten auf mixcloud. nun liegt pauls neue cd -from then on- mit 14 exzellenten tracks und zahlreichen kollabos vor. darauf befinden sich u.a. die 3 bisherigen single-auskopplungen -everyone needs love- (beatport trance #2), -touched by heaven- (beatport trance #3) und der j�ngste smash -stronger together- (beatport trance #1). damit wird die umfangreiche paul van dyk alben-diskografie, die mit album #7 -the politics of dancing 3- im fr�hjahr 2015 ihren bisherigen h�hepunkt erreichte, mit dem achten werk endlich fortgesetzt.

zed bias is an electronic music pioneer, throughout his career he has traversed genres with ease whilst all the while retaining his signature sound. it was in 2016 that he debuted on exit records with a three tracker featuring zoe violet, the release was a sign of things to come. modern u.k. soul delivered in the 160bpm format, this aesthetic has now been developed with the different response album. it s the sound of zed bias in 2017, undeniable soul with one eye on the dancefloor. hes gathered a formidable feature list to voice the album artists from his native manchester and beyond all lend their talents to the album. label owner dbridge says of the release: an lp that fits perfectly in what i believe exit is about. artists creating music with soul and a sound uniquely their own. zed has shown again whats possible when you listen to your own voice

f�r das wiener k�nstlerkollektiv sofa surfers steht seit seiner gr�ndung 1997 die musikalische weiterentwicklung im mittelpunkt seines schaffens. seit ihrem debut -transit- bis zu ihrem neuesten album 20 loten die sofa surfers permanent die m�glichkeiten von technologie einerseits und kollektivem spiel andererseits aus. 20 jahre bandgeschichte - das ist schon ein grund zum feiern. aber die sofa surfers haben zu ihrem jubil�um auch noch anderes vor: statt einem simplen -best of- hat man sich n�mlich etwas ganz besonderes ausgedacht. neben neuen versionen einiger klassiker sind es vor allem die ganz neuen songs, die eine bislang ungeahnte fahrtrichtung vorgeben. dass sich die sofa surfers dabei dennoch stilistisch treu bleiben, ist ehrensache.
