the rebirth of cool m=minimal is pleased to release a masterpiece of the early 21st century on vinyl. till the old worlds blown up and a new one is created is an outstanding work of reductionism and minimalism. martin brandlmyar ( radian / trapist / kapitalband 1 ), werner dafeldecker ( polwechsel, david sylvian, autistic daughters) and christian fennesz ( touch / mego / thrill jockey ) on this record created a new kind of cool jazz coupled with a big portion of new york school ( cage, feldman, brown und wolff). its hard to describe the music with words. this work reveals his secrets only after listening to it a couple of times. it grows with each time you listen to it. in this work, silence and noise are never used as an end in itself. as equal parameters they stand in the composition that also has space for some tonal >flower<. our recommended listening time is – round about midnight.

he works of conrad schnitzler will always be important. not only for m=minimal. ricardo villalobos and max loderbauer were so fascinated by the zug that they immediatly accepted to deliver two reshapes of this milestone of electronic music. (we already released zug on vinyl - mm-001lp) max loderbauer is a veteran of the berlin techno scene, who became known with his project >sun electric<. for his current project nsi and as a member of the >moritz von oswald trio< max loderbauer enjoys a worldwide reputation. his great cooperation with ricardo villalobos, for the legendary ecm label, appears in many >best of 2011< lists. richardo villalobos is one of the leading techno dj / producer / musicians. he influenced the scene for more than 15 years. the >aktion< mix targets with 100 percent certainty on the dance floor, but is also suited to wake you up in the morning. djs need this twenty minute mix as a tool. burner. the >sorgenkind< mix is not for the mainfloor but for fans of the broken beats. everybody who enjoyed the re-ecm work of the two will love this 15 minutes mix. schnitzler / loderbauer / villalobos = dreamteam

the citizens bands second instalment for ramonas favourite label hollows their long lasting love affair. christian beisswengers (cb funk, one half of arto mwambe) is nothing less than dealing with the demise of an empire. >broken rome< is a codeine trip through early nu groove rave tracks as well as an ode to junior vasquez at the helm of the sound factory seen and heard through frosted glass. >densed< on the other hand tips its toes into the current deep house stream with an arto-mwambe-like hook and a thumping bass line. the spaces in-between those rudiments are taken up by the idm finger exercise and jewel that is >into<: ottoman dancing!

nice price deal !!! austrian techno label minimal soul return to the fray with a killer compilation featuring detroits own alan oldham aka dj t-1000 as detroitrocketscience and mathematics / matrix records artist kuba sojka. four great tracks lovingly mastered by austrian legend patrick pulsinger

ernstalbrecht stiebler is the first german composer that based his compositions on minimal techniques. this record is the first part of an edition of his works on the label m=minimal.

its a great honour for us to be able to present conrad schnitzlers last work. only a few days before he passed away last august, he created this unique, almost 70 minutes long work. 36 parts mixed into each other create a walk through his entire work. this record is not only for fans of conrad schnitzler. its like a trip through 40 years of electronic music. conrad schnitzler once more shows how strong his influence has marked young artists like emeralds and oneohtrix point never. wihtout his solo works and his projects kluster, tangerine dream and eruption electronic music wouldnt be the same. the tracks on the vinyl edition are in the order sides a,c,b,d. this allows you to make your own mix of this big work.

the long 45rpm side is a solid acid 140 bpm techno killer. b side starts with a 33rpm 138 bpm (45 boostable for a olschool acidcore effect - recommended). the records ends with a 140 bpm electro acid hard techno kicker.

ltd represshuge detroit-inspired compilation from the austrian label. features tough tracks from old hands shawn rudiman (finest blend, matrix, technoir, dust science) and dj t-1000 (tresor, pure sonik, submerge) alongside relative newcomer loner.9 (detroit techno militia) and seasoned producer wave effect (la synthesis), luxuriant full colour glossy sleeve!

repress! raw and rocking chicago-like 6 tracker ... beyond legowelt!

andreas reihse is well known since 1994 in his role as musician with kreidler. sometimes he releases club music, for example using his alias april or with detlef weinrich (kreidler, tolouse lowtrax) as binford on labels like italic, onitor or smoothrooms. he also composed soundtracks for artist movies and installations (rosemarie trockel, maximilian zentz zlomowitz, thea djordjadze, andreas gursky, frances scholz/mark von schlegell, among others). romantic comedy is music for dark clubs, for places without much light and oxygen – its driving, percussive dance music. a comedy in six acts: from l.a. to düsseldorf and back. music and lyrics? - pop goes my heart! - of course its a romantic comedy, a bittersweet romance full of memories and a bit of sorrow. >der lange weg nach düsseldorf< the title reminds of mittagspauses der lange weg nach derendorf, derendorf, the district of düsseldorf where andreas reihse and stefan betke / pole in the late 80ies shared a rehearsal room. langeweg also was the adress of the studio of klaus dinger in zeeland. the titles of the other pieces refer to dubious characters that show that the trip on the west coast makes stops in manchester, milano, brussels and london without forgetting charlottenburg and williamsburg. places that hold up against oblivion and reinvent themselves. your club needs you. the cover was designed by artist thea djordjadze

with the help of minimal wave, in trance 95 completed the album >cities of steel and neon< which is a collection of their very early tapes, remixed and remastered, compiled by mws veronica.

oh boy.... mw are really spoiling us with the crazy electronics, following on from the recent philippe laurent release, this time its a japanese pioneer whos music has been lovingly restored, and just in time, by all accounts (read below). another classic on minimal wave, delivered on transparent vinyl.

next remix edition of danilo vigoritos successful lp >on and on<, featuring reworks by halo and tuccillo.

minimal wave is proud to present a full length lp by french mastermind philippe laurent. the lp is entitled hot-bip, a pseudonym laurent used throughout the 80s and 90s and also the title of his 1983 cassette on fraction studio. hot-bip features tracks recorded between 1979-1988, most of which have either remained unreleased or only previously appeared on scarce 80s experimental cassette compilations. laurents music can be described as spacey synthpop, containing much depth and range. it is edgy, political and pushes the limits, transforming his sound beyond one specific genre. hints of classical influences as well as electro influences can be heard. hot-bip showcases laurent’s best musical output from the 80s and includes some very avant-garde pieces from as early as 1979. a limited edition of 999 hand-numbered copies, this lp is pressed on 180 gram, translucent red vinyl and housed in a black and white matte printed heavyweight sleeve.

the twenty-seventh release on minimal wave is autumns >synthesize< lp, selections from the bands best material. autumn was the legendary project of peter bonne and geert coppens, two belgian teenagers who started experimenting with the potentials of analog synthesizers during the late 70s and formed a band together soon after in 1980, quickly becoming one of the most truly visionary groups to emerge from the synth scene in europe. a hand-numbered, limited edition pressing on 180 gram clear green vinyl housed in a heavy printed gloss jacket.

after two re-releases of conrad schnitzler classics, (zug & ballet statique) now m=minimal releases a completely new work from the pioneer of electronic music. conrad schnitzler is a sound explorer. for many years, he has been on expeditions, journeys through his collection of electronic synthesizers almost every day. sounds he liked has been conserved on tape and stored in his sound library. the result is a huge library of audio files, he calls them >solen<. >borngräber & struever< have got the chance to examine that library and started to con-struct new pieces out of the hidden gems. these are not remixes but new compositions. none of the sound combinations were thought or heard before. the 8 tracks form an album independent of any trend and therefore it becomes a real acoustic environment for everyone. the album was produced at studio.wannsee. to give the album more authenticity, the complete audio processing was done using analog equipment. they not only used many classics among the finest synthesizers and outboard equipment, but also custom built tube gear. the icing on the cake are the tubes used from the 60s, which bought christian borngräber on a trip through the atacama desert in a small radio repair business in the city of calama. thanks to the desert climate even the packaging of the tubes looked as new

trio techno cover, it was just a question of time to reach the point when wayne considers himself to be the one to create a musical statement in order to show what he thinks about all the current status of some parts of the electronic dancemusic circus. he still suffers from too much so called >minimal< in his eyes and he wants back the energy he is missing on many occasions… >you know, techno without bass is like f…… without screwing him in…< some might say he s too late with this song, but thats simply wayne! in his universe the meaning of time is different to what we all would expect. anyway, he finally checked out garage band on the mac he recently >lended< from somebody he does not even know, and here we go with his first very own song. lyrics in german only and heavily inspired by one of the biggest hits from the 80ies from the german cult-formation >trio<, but to make a long story short: its waynes message that the so called minimal sound is definitely over now: >always klick and always klack, i can not tell how much it sucks...<

hot.. thats definitely the right expression for this season: its summer! if anyone hasnt started sweating yet,now its time to rip off your clothes! iww music releases maxâges new disc -rome sweet rome ep- which makes you shake your bootie and dream of holidays! the a side track el rubio with its catchy vocals, carribbean guitar sounds and its driving base line reminds of cuba. casilda on the b side gets you up with its deep chords and whispering spanish vocals. along with these two masterpieces comes amirs awesome housy remix. party people - start dancing! big with laurent garnier, gregor tresher, butch, daniel sanchez, mendo

kreuzberg is the project of drummer and composer andreas peters and dj jens strüver (borngräber & strüver, j.r. plankton). in their childhood they played in the same football club somewhere in west germany and met again 20 years later in kreuzberg / berlin. they realized that in their lives music always has been playing an important role and as their interests in musical styles where highly compatible they created the project kreuzberg. the tracks are based on drumset, vibraphone (bowed), other acoustic material comes from turntables, the bass is the only synthetic element of the record. the music is influenced by dub, club music, minimal music and conny-plank-krautrock

big package with remixes by chase buch, marasco and danilo himself! support from marco carola, paco osuna, adam beyer, josh wink, gregor tresher...

after the very well-received work >in g< borngräber & strüver have not been resting on their laurels but made >reise< (journey). they extended the concept of >21th century electro motoric kraut< on the new album >urlaub< and added their preference for disco music. like a friend of the label said: >reise – sounds like a composition for the 20th birthday of carl craigs planet e<. borngräber & strüver have consistently worked on developing their minimalist compositions without taking into consideration conventions. the nearly 17-minute >reise< that starts extremely held back, grows into a groovy trip you can hardly escape. >berlin tribal music< has a radically minimalist approach and a surprising break like a portal to a parallel dimension. the last part of the album >dancing queen< has nothing to do with abba. the piece is a missing link between electronic h-pop and groovy club sounds.

first release of new damm records member minimal lounge (rennbahn rec. , wanted beatz). contains with great rmx by alex q. (musik gewinnt freunde, aspekt berlin) & sascha wallus (yippiee rec.) a must have production for comming summer nights! played by: andhim, laurent garnier, jaxson, alec troniq, paco osuna, daniel sanchez, beatamines, david jach, glanz & ledwa...

a new 3-track 12 by canadas solvent, known for his melodic electro and vocoder pop releases on ghostly, morr music, and his own suction records. for minimalrome, solvent debuts a new approach, so please dont expect any sweet solvent melodies this time, in fact, dont expect any melodies at all. here solvent delivers 3 tracks of pure bunker/rephlex-style acid, monotonous and pounding. fasten is the most straight-up acid track present, nothing but 707/606 percussion + x0xb0x squelch. latch and secure are more dark, abstract, dirty. secure is epic madness, clocking in at over 16 minutes, at times slow and prodding, elsewhere growling furiously in sheets of distortion. every track has been edited down from hour+ long hardware studio jams, with the computer acting strictly as a multi-track audio recorder. solvents customized acid box, a heavily modified x0xb0x, features heavily on every track, alongside classic techno boxes like the 808, 101, and pro one. limited to 250 copie

m=minmal continues the collaboration with electronic music legend conrad schnitzler. we are happy, after 30 years, to re-release one of the key works from conrads large adventurous backcatalog. >ballet statique< is not only a musical milestone but also a highlight of music production. it was recorded in 1978 at the legendary paragon studio / berlin by peter baumann - tangerine dream in the same period when other masterworks like cluster - >großes wasser< and solo recordings of roedelius and asmus tietchens were recorded. >ballet statique< was first released on the legendary french label egg. this albums is a must have not only for fans of the emeralds and oneohtrix point never.

a full length lp by ruins, an italian electro-wave duo. ruins formed in mestre in 1978 with the intention of experimenting with electronic devices and mixed media. they mainly created music out of self-expression without any intention of joining the mainstream. interested in multimedia, they had a strong visual aesthetic apparent via their album art, videos and projections. its where italo meets minimal wave. the -fire- videos are a must-see in order to grasp the full effect of the song, check out the first version here and rare second version here. the lp entitled -the art dance- features a collection of songs recorded between 1980-1984, some previously released, others never released before pressed on 180 gram vinyl and housed in a lovely hand-numbered glossy gatefold jacket lined with the bands history and photos, and accompanied by a lyrics insert sheet. tip!

selected advent deal. - after the completion of the >studium amphorae< trilogy, heinrich dressel returns with a four-track release. a compendium of crime-o-rama deliberate violence, with the legowelt connivance. maybe the first chapter of a new dressel series?

the second release of m=minimal agua is the rediscovery of a musical jewel. the first limited edition of this extraordinary album was released in 1984 in brasil.&#8232,, in the 80s in the field of minimal music nothing similar to it was released and it was long overdue to make this record accessible again.

>21th century-electronic-krautrock< ist vielleicht die beste umschreibung für das album >in g<,in welchem borngräber & struver gekonnt einflusse von motoric-krauts wie neu mit den errungenschaften von minimal-techno zu ganz eigenen musikalischen aussagen kombinieren.hier wird keine trance-seligkeit oder große abfahrt ausgerufen, hier werden die wesentlichen musikalischen aussagen auf den punkt gebracht.>in g< ist ein gelungener beitrag zur geschichte des motoric-krautrocks.abwechslungsreich inspiriert schmiegen sich zum teil düstere bladerunner-atmos an feine electrobeats und fast in jedem titel obligatorische dubeffekte an uberraschende breaks.gerade hier haben die beiden gitarren, vocals und vor allem frischfreundliche blaeser so eingesetzt, daß ihre songs als begleitmusik für jede art von kopfkino bestens geeignet sind.

we at m=minimal are proud to have >conrad schnitzlers – zug< as first release. schnitzlers zug is one of the most important and first electronic minimalist works that were published in the 70s. almost simultaneously with the kraftwerks groundbreaking >autobahn< zug appeared on the legendary >the red cassette<. the wire magazine wrote about zug: kraftwerk might have used similar methods to create rhythm<!
