since its inception in 2001, each entry in the pop ambient series has included its year of conception in its title, an irony in the fact that many consider the music being timeless in more than one way: a feel-good classic to some, a rigorous experiment to others, pop ambient always has located itself between the poles of habitual listening and sonic curiosity, with the space in-between beats being a way more interesting material than the beat itself. as in the years before, pop ambient 2013 collects an illustrious cast of producers uniting genre pioneers alongside old friends and some surprising new arrivals.
the 12 inch vinyl comes with a cd-copy of the full album.

the 2 tracks that make up the first release to fully convey the spirit of the label, interconnectivity between different sound to agglomerate and coalesce into one nature, plastic music.
track a1 is as alien autopsy with his heart bursting with blood acid, remaining constant at its base remind chicago sounds.
track b1 is not blood but mechanically oil that through a metal body, gives rise to an endless journey between the dub techno and detroit area.

perc trax is proud to unveil the debut ep by pinion, known in a former life as us-based producer bobby dowell. pinion is the sound of a man with his own vision of music, sitting somewhere between classic industrial and contemporary techno without slavishly bowing down to either discipline. where the likes of ancient methods and perc are the sound of metal on metal, pinion is more like wood on leather, a ceremonial throb that switches in an instant from tightly locked grooves to more freeform rhythmic patterns.

the inspiration for this ep came from a trip the two producers took to zug island- a polluted toxic metal factory isle on the detroit river between detroit and windsor, canada. the sounds within this record are intended to sonically personify the environment of zug island and the harmful impact it currently has on the river, wild life,and humans residing there!

it has been out of stock for quit some time now, even though it is considered a classic album within the viking/pagan metal genre. so we decided to re-release this classic album full of mighty pagan hymns! this release differs from the original, because we added all lyrics and we re-mastered the sound. for all of those who do not have this album a nice opportunity to buy the roughest and first album of thyrfing and to enjoy songs such as >raven eyes<, >set sail to plunder< or the classic >going berserk<. the album contains ten bombastic yet catchy viking metal tunes that are filled with nice keyboard melodies, berserker vocals and pounding guitar riffs.

second release on his diagonal label has powell ploughing a deeper furrow into his modern take on the sound of no-wave, ebm / metal-dance and other ancestral, primitive machine music forms, maintaining an icy cool aesthetic akin to that of his his debut release. loosely-arranged , these five tracks hold an off-kilter charm that evokes the rugged intensity of pre-sequencing era post-punk. calling all fans of 23 skidoo, mark stewart and the mafia or new-beat / ebm pioneers, liasons dangereuses, we suggest that you get on this one immediately.

lost follows up his massive snake eyes single with the highly anticipated groupies e.p. which is gaining support from a list djs across the board & featured airplay across all the major airwaves including bbc radio 1. groupies is somewhat of a statement piece for lost, veering from his traditional sound lost experiments with slightly noisier undertones to execute this highly anticipated club banger. ironhide vip: losts debut release on hench, ironhide is the foundation he built his distinguishable style and sound on. the vip showcases his journey through his hench releases subtly highlighting extracts from previous releases slaughtered, escape from the womb & metal foot. the vip encompasses the essence of the original but has the added advantage of developed production which makes for a devastating 2012 re lick!

a time machine appeared to us recently in a cloud of smoke and a giant portal of light. out of the portal a smoking piece of futuristic metal emerged and fell onto our floor. closer examination revealed it to be a time capsule sent from the future. a message from the year 2043, it contained diagrams of futuristic machines from what looks to have been the studio sessions of the recordings presented here. here is what we found, a 2 track ep (plus remixes) from artists from the future. recordings made 21 years from now but from artists who you may have already heard of today.

fur the texan, born bryce isbell, extracts minutiae with precision. his compositions, while airily sparse, are saturated with details plucked from broad of landscapes, whether they resemble the texan prairie or the expanses of industrial germany. isbells composite micro-samples are infinitesimal, soaked in breathless allusion and divorced from their context. the crisp, insistently percussive arrangement oscillates like metal shavings manipulated by an unseen magnet. fur has untraditionally tapped into a eu techno mind-meld, a berlin thought-stream. after his early work with neon indian’s alan palomo as ghost hustler, isbell dove deep into minimal sounds that transported listeners closer to inner city detroit than the mid-west. unos first fur ep cocoon follows several years of isbell silence. after a notable debut with lefse, fur submerged below a sea of techno and came up with a deep analog style that has acquired fans in fred p and firecracker records with twisting house like >knots<. a second part in the fur saga on the way, uno has faith this young westerner will be putting a big texan stamp on the house scene to come.

we have always been a fan of pablo bolivars sound. he already did a track on curle018 and we are glad to have him back on board for a double ep this time. in the meantime he released an album (as pulshar) & ep on loco dices desolat label, did remixes for audision, mikkel metal & scsi-9, and continued to run his own avantroots imprint.
the spark ep consists of a 10 and a 12 inch. the clear vinyl 10 inch includes two dreamy ambient/electronica tracks, and an oldschool electro remix by versalife – better known as conforce. the red marbled 12 inch consists of pablo bolivars signature slightly dub orientated deep techno sound. the package is limited to 300 copies.

rising parisian producer yakines career pretty much defines the word eclectic — in his teens, he was a bona fide metalhead, playing guitar in a metal band that toured all over europe, before his love of hip hop steered him in the direction of the dancefloor. he really found his home behind the decks, however, and once he discovered the world of electronic music via the patronage of his brother—who introduced him to the sounds of underground deep house and techno — yakine quickly moved into production. he has since released a series of eps on european labels like esperanza and jetaime records. the rise ep is his first release for spectral sound, a four-track slab of understated, atmospheric techno.

masami akita and lasse marhaug have been working together since the mid 90ies. the first release on marhaugs (now deleted) label jazzassin records in 1995 was the >first rock< split single. in 2001 merzbow and jazzkammer (marhaugs project with john hegre) released a live album. later, akita and marhaug executed several live collaborations, but often with other artists such as hair stylistics and jim o rourke. in 2010 they finally got together to record as duo. recorded at gok sound studios in tokyo the results can now be heard as >mer mar<.

here comes the new echocord colour. after some big releases with luke hess, skudge, sebastien san, mikkel metal & resoe here comes the next bomb, this time by mike dehnert. this is the second ep by mike dehnert on echocord colour. we are presenting one of the currently most interesting berlin modern techno music producers today. he is founder of the label fachwerk records on which he is publishing under his own name. his live acts and dj sets are as remarkable as his productions and you wont ever hear him playing any self-pleasing or incidental grooves. mostly mike is playing his own unpublished tracks. he did just put his ability to the test within collabarations with clone rec and the clone basement series. for the new echocord colour he did 2 striped killer berlin flavoured techno-dub/house tracks, for all dancefloors out there. it also includes a remix by roman lindau

deep purple: pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal. legends of rawk. it is about time music on vinyl gave them the start treatment. and we re starting with an album that was never before released on vinyl: purpendicular. the legendary band s 15th studio album was the first one they recorded with new guitarist steve morse, who pulled the band up to new heights and made this the most experimental deep purple album to date. there was more focus on the guitar, they used pinch harmonies, they sounded like they were having fun again, most famously so in vavoom: ted the mechanic based on a true story ian gillan once heard in a pub. the excellent riffs and awe-inspiring solos appear on two 180 grams audiophile vinyl lps, alongside the exclusive - and elusive - bonus track >dont hold your breath<.

tommy walker 3 has been hiding for a while now, after releasing a slew of material in 2008 (including a release on the sadly defunct dissident). now hes back with >dance music clubbing<, and with a name like this youd probably expect this ep to either be a bit off the wall, or unintentionally awful. we are glad to say it fits into the former category, offering an ep of colourful elastic space disco mixed with a more classic vibe. opener >disconnected< sets the tone with its 80s, verging on hair metal guitar riffs. >mwj1< impresses with its almost seinfeld-esque slap bass, and synth piano stabs while >errational< is characterised by its wonky synth melody and spaced-out laser gurgles. finally >v brains< melds driving live bass with huge slabs of cosmic squelch. if you like your disco fierce, this will definitely be worth a look

lory ds idiosyncratic take on techno is an all-analogue assault on the senses, a soundtrack to the end of the world punctured by shards of acid and twisted metal soundscapes. a john carpenter for the rave generation, so to speak. the enigmatic lory is something of a legend in his native city of rome, where the former dmc champion was responsible for introducing his compatriots the sounds of techno, acid and hardcore with 5.000 strong raves featuring ritchie hawtin, underground resistance, joey beltram and lfo. his label sounds never seen was the soundtrack to these raves – an industrial yet sometimes beautiful vision of techno where drexciya, frankie bones and spk jammed in the roman sewers.
