carrying messages of extraterrestrial, tropical madness from planet klajnak, the frikstailers (pronounced freak stylers) have been chosen to deliver the funk. manned by the multi-rhythmic madmen rafa caivano and lisandro sona, frikstailers were tele-abducted by an advanced civilization from the planet klajnak, and are forced to transmit their electronic messages to earth.

expect the usual heads down, subterranean business! side a contains probably the most dance floor friendly track that laak have produced, always true, with a solid bass line and 303 subtleties to get going. the second mix of it adds some classic chords to great effect. flipside is for the underground heads, with a lush brooding track called mixed messages and a slo-mo burner amor meus closing the ep. only available on vinyl as usual.

the man they called brokof was a blazing star in one familys dark history. a player with a wandering heart. the band called brokof follows him into the vastness and gives it a face. they draft a map with songs. singing with beautiful solemn sadness about encounters and fleeting moments of truth. hinting at rage born from the loss that occurs when one moves in life. about what one has to gain when there is nothing expected. when hope has turned to echoes and dust.
these are pop songs purged and reduced to the core.every sound stands alone to serve the song. there are no tricks. through their naked vulnerability they find their power. the structure is stark and the messages clear.

another deception of abstract passions to the dancefloor, >cant hide< is a radical dancefloor experience of rhythms and messages from the past to the present of todays chaos! driven techno beats guide the listener trough 60ties science fiction filtered funk licks into the climax. on the b side you find a chaos of reanalyzed sounds from our sun system brother jupiter,the roland tr727 is here live jammed and launched inside warm pads and electrified bass-lines.

one day while sharpening his hip-hop skills, the prince sets up shop in his favorite studio, an oversized king bed in a pile of synthesizers, drum machines and keyboards. an abundance of classic samples overflowing with soulful fills inspired baby prince to record one of his most sensitive vocal messages to date. an ideas man, baby prince struggled to get the mix right and tight. so lonely c swoops in, hits record and lays down the track in one clean shot. ooohwee! i want to squeeze you is born. the pillowtalk boys heard the new noise and accepted remix duties without question. their results, the phat philly remix, is a timeless house version with a powerful vocal addition from sammy d himself. lace up yer raving kicks.

early support by adam x, kyle geiger, jonas kopp, and, arnaud le texier, freddy k. resiliens recordings is not only a simply independent record label but it presents itself as a project much more detailed and complex. it wants to be an idea, an impulse: the paradigm of artistic, visual and sound contemporaneity. the purpose of the group is to reinvent, assimilate and re rework the contemporaneity according to an independent and multifaceted artistic sensibility. according to its intrinsic meaning, resiliens was created with the intention of creating a new way of thinking and making art, able to react to external influences of modernity, transforming it without getting stunned. the genesis of a movement that embraces every artistic aspect, in a profound synergic interaction and collaboration between heterogeneous parts whose point of arrival is a complete artistic experience, in its deepest sense. the final goal of resiliens is therefore change the existing schemes, through clear and obvious messages around the entire artistic path: from production to exposure.

after appearing with c-beams recently,break sl strikes back with a massive track called desert flight that has already been causing a stir amongst the uncanny valley crew for quite a while.over the course of ten minutes the track unwinds as an analogue slowhouse trip that is dominated by a gritty synth figure.with typical sophisticated break sl drums,radio transmitted messages directly from the cockpit and a freaked out siren its a track that is not from this world. the flipside starts off in a more classical manner with the rumbling house of amorphed limits. the track is distinguished by rapturous synths and gets spiced up through additional drum work by break sls partner in crime manuel sander. beercase song originates from collaboration with dresdens universal genius max rademann. his quirky keys and break sls drum workshop create a dirty piece of funk which rounds up an eclectic ep by a versatile producer.the cover artwork was created by visual artist and designer julien simshäuser who illustrates the trip that is desert flight.

the 12 inch features the mesmerizing vocal delivery by detroit singer/musician paul randolph. randolph is a steady member of the jazzanova live band and has been touring with them over the last few years. in his words, >i human< is a statement of the feeling you have when you create music and interact with people in a one-on-one and personal live situation, instead of ambivalent text messages and e-mails. and thats what you can hear in this wonderful piece of live recorded music. uplifting, life affirming, soul soothing and yes, human!

while the first release on wania, busen & paleos >stream of love< (featuring dj sotofetts anthemic overdub-12inchedit) was a rather leftfield affair, dritfett is aimed more directly towards the dancefloor. the label artwork gives a clear clue as to what this release is all about: amongst a number of cryptic messages and shout-outs in norwegian - a tr-909 logo. all the tracks here are based around the 909 - thunderous kickdrums and sharp, hissing hi-hats that cut through the mix. still, theres a broad range of sounds, from head-down, fists-clenched warehouse workouts with an industrial edge, to more melodic tracks with detroit references aplenty. make no mistake though: this is all about the power of the almighty 909. theres no fancy tricks here‚ no ableton-trickery or polished waveforms, just good honest techno with a real raw live feel. this gives the tracks the energy and spontaneity that is sorely missed in many of todays productions. the kind of energy you will find - in abundance - in the house and techno releases of the 90s. the kind of energy that can only be achieved by pressing play on a machine, frenetically twisting knobs and punching buttons while letting the energy of the room decide where to go next.

forbidden friends is a new band from hutch harris, lead singer and mastermind of the thermals, portlands last great post-pop-punk-power trio. initially conceived as a way for lovers to send hidden messages in plain view (isnt there an app for that?), forbidden friends is now a legitimate, public work of art. the band is at once old fashioned (acoustic instruments, mono mixes), forward thinking (reference-less, incredibly danceable), and timeless (classic lyrical themes of love and desire.)

a welcome return for jaime read who has been releasing quality deep house and techno since the mid 90s via his own push ii shove label, tenth planet, fragmented and ugly music. here he drops a timeless ep of house and techno rythims to great effect. messages from outer space is a deep slice of timeless 808 driven electro soul. name no names moves along with spaced out keys and a sax line reverbed to great effect. no relief has that old school chicago house sound with piano stabs and a lush string breakdown. digital acid wraps it up sounding much like the title suggests with deep 808 bass and floor smashing snares

we present to you four new tracks from tiger stripes, two of which can be found on the upcoming full-length album, safari. each track sounds like it comes from four different corners of house music, but all strike in unison to create a patchwork sound that could only be tiger stripes. his tracks are so universally rhythmic it can work on almost any dancefloor. each song embarks the listener in a voyage, telling a tale with its varied subliminal messages, with severe synth sounds and incredibly effective drum loops, clearly shining through on this masterpiece collection of danceable works....special rerelease

this hot new e.p. for dessous introduces two new artists to its roster, in the form of well known and highly respected producer & dj ripperton, who runs the successful perspectiv label, alongside co-owner and recording artist sam k. this mixed and exciting release is headed off by the deeply spaced and simply hypnotic ‚eze‘, a straight collaboration between ripperton and sam k. its bouncing, deep techno pump underpins the track and keeps the pressure constant, while a wonderful phasing synth motif is explored and unfurled as the journey continues. beautiful atmospheric modern dance music! next sam k takes the reigns alone as he introduces the slower, fantastic world of ‚desperate housetrack‘. the title might be a clue to where the melody takes its inspiration, but this tough little groover has more than one surprise up its sleeve, showing off sam‘s love for slow burning, thoroughly explored arrangements. ‚slipstream‘ is ripperton‘s own unique solo voyage through contemporary acid house. its a stripped, low-riding jam that harks back messages from days of old but still had that fresh 21st century sound going on. a great dj tool and indeed a bold statement about the merits of keeping it deep!

freaky / crazy electro a la justice !! 18 months, 700 emails, 500 phone calls, 400 text messages, 30 artwork changes, 7 tracklist alterations, 10 software meltdowns, 5 mastering attempts, 16 arguments, 10 tantrums and 6 breakups and now finally it is here, the debut release from zzz. >lion<. roar. zzz are melbournian boyfriend and girlfriend production duo, anees and nana. the posh and becks of modern dance, the peter and jordan of noise, the tom & katie of fruity loops, the ultimate techno power-couple. they met on a singles techno forum, fell in love on facebook and have spent the last 18months making their own brand of romantic powerdance. lion is their first born. >lion< is all about pianos. pianos piano pianos pianos and more pianos. so much piano. pianos everywhere.

his this years 2nd album >heavy day< still heavily resonates in peoples ears, now that falko brocksieper already delivers an appropriate follow-up. on >fresh 727< brocksieper finds back to raw, sketchy arrangements, evolving their full energy just from deep, rolling basic grooves, as opposed to the close examination of each tiny sound and every dramaturgic peculiarity in the recent longplayers production. on the title track >fresh 727< noisy, maurizio-esque house chords encounter futuristic vocal messages, while edgy, classic drumbox-riffs rip up the dense atmosphere of the track again and again. a deep, marching groove and the freeminded combination of elements signalize special club moments from the very start. on the backside >request< turns out to be an equally organic, sizzling counterpart, which can promote its sustainable cheerfulness alone by its ongoing bouncy bassline, in a way that all accessory parts get dispensable - to the benefit of a well-balanced blend of rattling percussion, carved vocals and quirky atmo...s

the master of simplicity is back on with his second release on karmarouge. the story behind the titel goes like this. saint patrick was a christian missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of ireland. he banished the snakes from ireland and some irish people say that human snakes replaced them. sian asks himself if we might need a new modern saint patrick? the a-side track >stegosaurus< is a creepy, slow builder and melodic track, somewhat like a placid dinosaur. >merman< on the b-side is a more melancholic, angelic theme with hidden melodic patterns and messages. born in dublin ireland, raised gypsy style in southern spain, sian, aka graham goodwin has worked in music since the age of 17. now 28, he has produced and released electronic music consistently and has worked with diverse artists during this period. his productions are arty, unique and childlike simple, he works with sounds as blocks of bright colour and makes music for both the club and mind simultaniously. sian believes that electronic music is more than just an interesting theory, it shapes lives and his dj sets are well known for sweat, eclecticism and positive energy

digitally remastered edition of this 1975 album. gil scott heron is justifiably recognized as one of the most unique black music artists of all time. his music transgresses all musical barriers in the same way that stevie wonder, bob marley and marvin gaye did. first minute of a new day was the first album that gil and collaborator brian jackson recorded with the fantastic midnight band, and is a revelation throughout. the album reflects all the aspects of gil and brians music, a mixture of soul, jazz and other influences sometimes powerful, mellow at others, but always compelling. but it is the lyrics and messages of the songs that really made gil scott heron stand out from his contemporaries, always telling a story and informing us of situations that needed attention.
