wrong is quentin dupieux’s new movie, the director most known under his musical alias, mr oizo. during summer 2011, while he was wrapping the movie, he started as usual to compose its score.

spring toy is an elegant a-side crafted with classic house influences in mind. meandering casually before beginning its ascent into deepspace territory, detroit styled synth lines and intricate melodies hang above a funky undertone which hooks from the off. continuing its cosmic trajectory, the ep’s b-sides set their coordinates into dub techno regions. lindberg’s quirky astral synths and futuristic soundscape trigger a dream-like state…think sci-fi beams and interplanetary navigation and you’re half way there. shudder is a more up-tempo sonic excursion, propelled by its galloping techno rhythms. the ebb and flow of trippy pads and crystalline waves play to the senses.

its time for the italian house hero again - nicholas! he has been all around in the past and he just cant do wrong. when it comes to proper us influenced house music, nicholas is the man. his new full release for quintessentials proves his talent again. its all there: the beats, the basslines, the pianos, the vocals! we love that! grazie nicholas!

very special release!!! no represses when working on something, many other things happen which have an appeal of their own but do not fit together with what you have in mind, or where you are heading. this series of recordings is about the unexpected, things opposed to the plan. it is a slice of life, a snapshot that divides before and after. the more conscious you are of moments like this, the more often you will experience that something special is happening right now, in this second. and then it is gone for ever… unless you buy it on vinyl... already played by karotte (cocoon / great stuff)

after ushering in a raft of releases from top talent over the last year that turned quite a few heads, we over here at thema thought it was time to assert our own opinions a bit more forcefully. we certainly appreciate all the support we garnered from the detroit drops courtesy of norm and terrence, and sliding over to the smallville end of the spectrum with rau and suburb certainly didnt lose the thread either. sometimes its easy to build a vibe on the backs of others rather than on simple merit though… with that in mind we have taken our own path since then, and the recent successes from beaner and laurine frost stand alone as the accolades keep rolling in. continuing on our outbound trajectory, we present the solo vinyl debut of gathaspar, the mysterious polish producer who has been making noise mostly in berlin and to the east.

two new suprawax releases by eduardo de la calle. the four tracks on offer here bear testimony to de la calles search for the perfect loop. they are hypnotic grooves, almost entirely devoid of arrangement in a classical sense. but the tracks are not static. they suck you in by means of constant modulations, build free flowing structures of their own, hints of peaks emerging at the mercy of the low frequency oscillators cleverly set phase relationships. these tracks do not need the in-your-face kick drums and squashed dynamics of the brickwall generation. by leaving space, they work on a different level than solely sound pressure emanated. the simple, repetitive structure coupled with the unhasty development find their way into the dancer’s brain. moving your mind—your ass to follow suit. all records have been pressed in a run of 400 copies and come in inside-out natural cardboard sleeves. no represses are planned at present.

unusually for a record (for me,at least), constants collects tracks written in four very different moments in time: some are recent - so recent ive only had the opportunity to play them out just a handful of times - while others are over one year old. i really wish the story behind this ep would be a bit more interesting so this text could completely blow your mind but im afraid there were no dragons, no sex, no drugs and definitely no rock n roll involved. all four were mostly produced by me while sipping coffee and wearing boxer shorts in front of a computer. i could somehow try to describe the music on here but it would probably take less for you to give it a listen. however, if you happen to be one of the humans that prefer reading about music. anyway, im really happy to see these finally out, especially on a label i have always looked up to like vakant. i really used to think smoke, kaden and ozer were aliens at some hopefully you will enjoy this music as much as i loved writing and playing it out.

hollands fah aka robin de bekker enters the scene with this heavy, braindance inspired five tracker. opener fine space is spooky and upbeat with false melodies fighting the tracks ground level acid bubbles.bonus orbits starts off as a fast electronic harpsichord cut for a smart dance floor before turning into a hectic swamp of challenging harmonies.sixears is a shorter track holding the middle ground between a moody elecktroids tune and hectic, vibert-like acid. the eps title track and centerpiece then, is characterized by rewinds, whistles, haunting melodies and a total lack of repetition, its a 9 minute long excursion into the most unreal part of bekkers mind. fah finally says goodbye with an eerie cut that sounds like a humming predator with no food to eat. fahs first one for 030303 comes with appropriate, occultist artwork.

killer release on new yorks sequencias label. powerful and hypnotic chicago acid inspired cut on the a and a cool slow building chord driven track layered over raw drum rhythms on the b-side. recommended!! label promo text: sequencias does not stop, does not conform, takes no prisoners. our third release brings you a pair of artists from two different points along interstate 94, who have a reputation for the very same. so lets get to it. the main body laid down by villan x is tight metallic percussion underpinned by solid kicks and a stream of robotic filtered bass, containing unexpected shifts within the frequency register. foreboding tones and feelings drift towards us across which the disembodied voice of kold is able to find a platform from which to shudder into our consciousness and pose questions from across the galaxies about the nature of our very being. dcantu carries on the feelings of space, with protracted white noise shots and stabby modulated organ chords, but doesnt leave it long before setting the pace with solid drums and shifting keyboard funk aimed squarely your body and the dance floor as octave changes force you up and then down again to a backdrop thick with texture. this provides for the body and the mind. act fast though, sequencias does not like to rest.

this third outing expands further the mosso musical range, presenting alejandro mosso in some of his most rhythmic and yet, dreamiest atmospheres. unlike mosso002, which got the producer to hunt in his forgotten documents, both airs present on this record have been impetuously developed over the last few months. on the a-side, pleamar is a driving number which boots with a hypnotic metallophone pattern, slowly giving way into a electro (rga)nic piano fest, which in turn twists itself into bent, crushed and perverted synth whistles. this a-side has been designed keeping the lower half of the body in mind, offering full waves of joy and jubilation! now that you are grounded enough, how about flipping that record and meeting us on bajamar - low tide, litterally. on the shores of this b-side is where a wonderful landscape of shimmering spray and glistening stars await you. here again alejandros ability to bring together biotic and mechanic in a homogeneous unity is best revealed. in a magical tour de force, bajamar sends tingles from the base of your heels, up and all along your spine, into your crown, triggering instant wonder, reveries and realisations.
