the crispies sind tino romana (gesang), rob wolfe (gitarre), parsa sarraf (bass) und peter ferdinand (schlagzeug). die band wurde nach schulabschluss 2014 in wolfes keller gegründet, teils aus perspektivlosigkeit, teils aus spaß. so speist sich auch ihr selbstverständnis aus der spannung zwischen langeweile und exzess, zwischen selbstironie und der ernsthaftigkeit von rock n roll klischees in lederjacken und zerrissenen jeans. fragt man die band selbst, so vergleichen sie ihre musik gerne mit analoger fotografie: spontane momentaufnahmen, manchmal schoen, manchmal etwas kaputt. ihr debütalbum death row kids erschien im oktober 2016 auf seayou records. ihr zweites album fake leather erscheint ebenfalls auf seayou records.

weaving the old with the new.

the untitled was already present on the -unruhe- compilation... this one man project is located in the north of holland far away from trends and hypes... and so is his music... the ingredients are evident: a pounding bassdrum, screaming synths, ear-splitting acid lines and distorted hi-hats. the result: disturbing and intense techno and acid... music that you can also call post-hardcore, tekno or acid core... and for sure sounds that could also interest fans of industrial music... or anybody interested in extreme sounds...

judas priest could easily rest on their laurels at this stage of their highly successful and influential career. however, the legendary metal band - singer rob halford, guitarists glenn tipton and richie faulkner, bassist ian hill, and drummer scott travis - refuse to do so as evidenced by the arrival of their eighteenth studio album overall - “firepower”. the album is comprised of fourteen tracks of pure and highly inspired metal. and to mark the occasion priest has reunited with producer tom allom (the man behind the board for all of the band’s releases from 1979-1988, including such stellar classics as “unleashed in the east”, “british steel”, “screaming for vengeance” and “defenders of the faith”) and with grammy award-winning producer andy sneap also helping to raise the sonic bar even higher. the double vinyl release comes in a gatefold sleeve with download code included.

ziemlich genau zwei jahre nach der ersten kollaborationssause aus dem märz 2015 legt tausendsassa jeff Özdemir sein zweites -friends--album vor. an diesem beteiligt waren keine geringeren als f.s. blumm, andrew pekler, halloumi express, sonja polligkeit, benjamin wild und dizzy (rotation) - wer solche freunde hat, darf sich glücklich schätzen! wie bereits auch beim ersten teil geht es bei den 20 neuen stücken drunter und drüber. jeff Özdemir, multiinstrumentalist, komponist, produzent und besitzer des berliner plattenladens 33rpm store sowie mitgründer des gleichnamigen labels, mag es seit je her bunt. wer will, kann hier 1001 einflüsse aus jazz, chanson, soul, gameboy-sounds, dub, minimal, psychedelischem wüsten-blues, siebzigerjahre-pop, klassik und john-carpenter-sounds heraushören. oder sich wundern, dass neben deutsch auch auf französisch, türkisch, japanisch und portugiesisch gesungen wird. aber das sind nur details, die für sich genommen wenig zählen. worauf es hier wirklich ankommt: die atemberaubende kombination zeit-, generations- und stilübergreifender akkorde, rhythmen und grooves besitzt ein ästhetisch rundum stimmiges klangbild, das seine volle wirkung entfaltet, sobald man sich diesem im ganzen hingibt.

few traces surveys a near decade of mark renner’s scarcely released and unreleased material from 1982 to 1990, embracing and evoking the timelessness of his artistic statement: a wordless translation of the individual’s musical experience, met with the poetic expression of being here. the double vinyl release comes with download code and booklet with extensive liner notes from brandon soderberg and unseen ephemera.

fresh from his lets roll ep on radio slaves rekids, hopeworks curator lo shea further cements his status as a true innovator of the uk underground with the iterations ep on duskys 17 steps. leading the charge, iterations is 8 dark twisted minutes of tripped-out melodic techno that will sweat the walls of warehouses from london to tokyo drawing a lineage from the omen, atomic jam and the orbit through to berghain, de school and hopeworks itself. on the remix, stockholm’s peder mannerfelt takes it down an industrial rabbit hole of terror-core synths, rave sirens and sonic paranoia. across rest of ep, lo shea flexes his sonic diversity with ornithurae offering an intruiging mix of bruising bass, twitchy layer loaded percussion and sinister soundscapes - somewhere between d&b don dillinja circa 96, early claude von stroke, radioactive man and fellow sheffield legend oris jay. dark, soulful and ravey, higher closes things off with a uniquely uk hybrid that traces lines through militant tresor-heyday techno, vintage strictly rhythm diva house and hardcore vibes.

dark, dread-infused and ready to test even the toughest of sound systems, here compa delivers three twisted, distorted and deadly electronic experiments. removing all but the most crucial elements, compa combines crushing sub-bass with skeletal percussion and chilling atmospheres to show yet again through his signature sound how less is always more. compa has received dj support from the likes of mala, toddla t, chase & status, mary-anne hobbs, youngsta, mistajam, david rodigan, shades (alix perez and eprom) hatcha, om unit and plastician among others.

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 it’s 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 14 track album. the triple vinyl release includes insert, printed sleeve

after a first ep of the year from stl, the solar phenomena label now welcomes romania’s romansoff. the raw tools label boss hails from bucharest and has also released his gritty, stripped back house and techno on creme organization and sportiv. here he offers four new tracks, with one remix from timedance man ploy completing the package.
halo epitomises romansoff’s style with its slow, heavy drums and sparse, scattered perc sounds. a lo-fi melody adds colour, while coach jacket ups the ante with busier claps and crashing hits laid over a turbulent, unsettled bassline. increasing the pressure further, graded grows manic with punchy drums, layers of fuzzy synths and bass and distant cries that are dark and unsettling. ploy flips this one into a prickly and atmospheric drum track that keeps you on edge.

malmö s own sune fills in for better listen s tenth release, continuing a run of sweet scandinavian finds for the label. the butter love ep is a true reflection of the crime city man s sound jovial, dusty disco and soul samples adorned by heady drum machine programming.

dimensions recordings fifth release sees the label step into the world of the long player with istanbul native, kerem akdag s self-titled debut album. kerem has already been winning fans of the ilk of gilles peterson through his previous output of dusty house and tripped out beats in the last few years, and of course via his getdownsoclose offering on dimensions debut release. his debut album however, sees kerem deliver a mature piece of work, bright and timeless, equally effective in the club as it is at home and brimming with ideas, hooks and must have songs. across eight tracks kerem demonstrates a breadth of skills that most artists would work a lifetime to achieve. from the stepping beats of when i think of you to his subtle vocal layers on isolated and from the woozy beach vibes of sultan to the squelching, rasping synths of unite it s clear that there s very little that s outside of kerem s arsenal. the album rounds out fittingly with drums please, which perfectly displays kerem s jazz tendencies, a slow grooving track whose crescendo of stabs and drums create a song that s more powerful than its parts. kerem akdag s debut album clearly sets out the stall for a man who has a lot to say and has the capability to say it loud!listen up! pressed on clear vinyl with a metallic sticker insert.

jaki liebezeit, der masterdrummer, hatte seine freude an der tatsache, dass der trommelbau seit menschengedenken sich nicht wesentlich verändert hat. ob ein fell jetzt mit schnüren oder mit schrauben auf dem kessel gespannt wird, ob es ein natur- oder plastikfell ist - das prinzip bleibt dasselbe: beide umschließen einen hohlraum, ohne den es keinen klang gäbe (man stelle sich eine trommel vor, die innen drin mit lehm gefüllt wäre.) so ähnlich ist auch die rhythmus-auffassung. das Überflüssige fällt weg. dir leere mitte erscheint. das unsichtbare ist das entscheidende. alle stücke auf der zweiten ep von drums off chaos kreisen um diese leere mitte. im zentrum ist - nichts. hier geht es um abstrakte, groovende trommel-musik. die rhythmen sind so weit auf ihren elementaren kern reduziert, dass sie zwar eindeutig singulär, aber auch allgemeingütig verstanden werden können. es kommt etwas zum vorschein, das allgemeinen gesetzen wie gravitation, ergonomik und akustik folgt. „spiel, was die trommel will,“ war einer von jakis sätzen. das hat drums off chaos sich mit ihm zusammen zu herzen genommen. im zentrum stehen rhythmen, die auf einfachen zahlenverhälnissen gründen, um ihren reichtum aus sich selbst heraus zu entfalten.

strut presents the new album from the modern day leader of afrobeat, seun kuti. the youngest son of afrobeat legend fela kuti is as incensed by injustice as his father ever was and, with his mighty new album black times including a feature from carlos santana, he honours the revolutionaries who have gone before and rallies the torch-bearers to come.

r.kitt is not a man of half measures. his approach to making tracks is all about an obsession with the philosophy of a dancefloor and how to communicate that in a musical moment. the result is tingle, a fully realised four track ep, showcasing unique slices of soulful house, progressive yet warmly familiar.

the identity of belgian mystery man beton is a complete mystery to us. what we do know is that twin turbo owner/assistant webmaster tiga has called this record the best release of the past five years. even when you consider that tiga believes he experiences time differently from the rest of us, that still means the soundtrack of your life for the past half-decade has been straight-up garbage in comparison. since most djs wont even listen to a record if they dont like the track descriptions, we realize a lot is riding on the next paragraph. acid-electro bomb directions is a collaboration with wevie stonder, who call themselves an absurdist electronic music collective, which youd have to agree sounds like a lot of fun. meanwhile, keep breathin completely redefines the term pump-bumpin pumper, and features vocals from dance mania ghetto house legend dj deeon. twin turbo keeps puttin hot mp3s in your pocket, offering maximum value for your hard-won digital nickels. as far as we know, youve earned it.

sold out - a part of me ist das debütalbum von ivan arlaud unter seinem alias 1954. der junge musiker stammt aus lyon, frankreich und bietet eine immersive reise zwischen nostalgischen und synthetischen klängen, melancholie und hoffnung, Ängsten und selbstvertrauen. er schaffte es, all die hellen, warmen, kalten und dunklen momente seiner ruhelosen phantasie in rhythmen zu beschreiben, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. wie der titel sagt, ist es seine persönliche offenlegung. ltd to 300

die zweite runde von remixen zu dem selbst betitelten album von urbs ist eine fesselnde zusammenstellung von zeitlosen hiphop sowie downtempo nummern. marc mac: gibt es zu dieser person etwa noch was zu sagen? als teil des uk duos 4hero hat er musikgeschichte geschrieben und sein visioneers projekt setzte neue standards in sachen organischem hiphop. sein remix zu get wid it featuring tyna aus neuseeland, besitzt alles, was man sich von diesem musikgenie erwartet. ein souliges, harmonisches meisterwerk, welches auch auf einem seiner legendären visioneers alben hätte veröffentlicht werden können. peter kruder hat als teil von kruder & dorfmeister sowie mit seinem projekt peace orchestra musikgeschichte geschrieben. sein remix zu happy days feat. bagi und sarah ann ist eine reise zurück zu seinen musikalischen wurzeln, welche ihn berühmt gemacht haben eine relaxte downtempo-nummer. der remix weckt erinnerungen an die zeit, als seine musik millionen von menschen berührte.

introducing basic vision, a new imprint releasing a vinyl series of rare classics from the legendary back to basics club. selected and compiled by the man who played the first ever record at the club, original resident dj ralph lawson, on this release joined by long term resident tristan da cunha on selection duties. all the tracks are cut to vinyl from the original master recordings and given enough time on high quality vinyl to ensure clean, loud pressings with original artwork by the godfather of punk design - jamie reid. the artwork spans across 4 records, which collected together will make the compete picture

following on from co-ops vol. 1 (counter004), counterchange continues the various artist series with an 8 track, double vinyl edition for its tenth release. joining the dots between a network of producers all pushing boundaries in their respective fields, label curator inland (aka ed davenport) invited boddika (nonplus), cassegrain & tin man (killekill, infrastructure new york), distant echoes (dystopian), pharaoh & yogg (the block tel aviv residents, parallax), patrik skoog (sample & hold, headroom) and bnjmn (tresor, tiercel) to all submit new music.
the result is a heavyweight, diverse trip through modern techno, presented in a hand printed sleeve featuring artwork by carina wittmann, limited to 200 copies.

few authentic electro producers from the uk can wear the badge legend with the same level of justification as phil klein aka bass junkie. active since the late 80s, phil has been peddling his own take on electro almost constantly, either as a solo artist or as part of numerous collabs with the likes of dynamix ii, keith tenniswood (radioactiveman) and si brown (dexorcist). dj, remixer, live act, and the man behind the killer battle trax label, there is nothing this junkie hasn’t done.
with essential releases on labels such dmx krew’s breakin records, andrea parker’s touchin bass, and billy nasty’s elektrix, the bass junkie sound spans the old school beats and vibes of the electro genre’s origins, to the borderline industrial. from funky to ferocious, bass junkie’s discography is a must have for anyone claiming passion for the genre - influential, individual, and infectious with every beat.
his low frequency fugitive ep is a welcome return for his bass junkie project, after several years working primarily on collabs. the ep brings four new tracks that maintain the bass junkie sound that brought him such success and notoriety in the first place, with a healthy dose of evolution too.
this is one fugitive everyone should try and track down...

1st vinyl outing from the mysterious new user engine project coming soon. celebrating various aspects of house and techno, the new world order ep charts a journey from blistering old-school acid-house to more modern sounding techno floor burners. will be released on stepback records, mastering by radioactive man, illustration by jamie kinroy.

formed of laura lee on bass, mark speer on guitar, and donald “dj” johnson on drums, khruangbin’s sounds are rooted in the deepest waters of world music infused with classic soul, dub and psychedelia. their 2015 debut album ‘the universe smiles upon you’ was heavily influenced by 60’s and 70’s thai cassettes the band listened to on their long car journeys to rehearsal in the texan countryside. ‘con todo el mundo’ takes inspiration not just from south east asia but similarly underdiscovered funk and soul of the mediterranean and the middle east, particularly iran.
