savage times fing als experiment an und dokumentiert die unmittelbare, künstlerische entwicklung hanni el khatibs. ursprünglich wurde der großteil der songs auf savage times bereits zuvor auf fünf eps nach und nach veröffentlicht. diese compilation vereint alle eps und enthält zudem vier weitere, neue bonustracks. el khatib startete das projekt im dezember 2015. die aufnahmen zu den songs wurden in jonny bells (crystal antlers) jazz cats studios aufgenommen. dafür fuhr hanni el khatib täglich von l.a. nach long beach. auf der stundenlangen autofahrt kamen ihm oft die ideen für seine tracks. hanni el khatib wollte sich nicht mehr auf ein genre festlegen und ließ sich einfach von seinem musikalischen instinkt leiten. sobald ein song fertig produziert war, veröffentlichte er ihn. savage times zeigt, wie wandelbar sein sound ist: garage rock, punk, disco, grime und hip hop fügen sich hier konsistent ineinander, über die eigenen grenzen hinweg

mohammed al harbiti, adam stromstedt and flord king s lyssna records is now on its third release, and the label is beginning to pick up jus the right sort of momentum to make a impact on the vast, bottomless pit that is the deep house scene. what you need to be able to do that is plenty of style and a fresh way of constructing 4/4 patterns, something which levi verspeek has clearly nailed on the opening 256. peshka s miracle is also refreshingly off-kilter, meandering its loose drums over a hazy bed of washed-up sonics, while flord king s steff off uses the minimal formula to deliver its mesmerising glow, and adam stromstedts hm 2016 is probably the best example of traditional deep house that we ve heard since the close of that treacherous 2016. quality house escapades.

we are artists with an inward perspective that toil endlessly to perfect our technique. we have proven ourselves over time as leaders of a beat less traveled. in this time of followers and cheap hustlers we are the oddities outside mainstream dogma. we are the heroes of cryovac. the rat pack of cryovac are keith kemp, kero, a. garcia, and kimyon huggins. we are a detroit based collective that come together from our personal projects to share our broad view of what techno is. keith provides a driving minimal sickness that builds and fades with dark intent. while kero relies on a random modular approach that is corralled by 4/4 beating. a. garcia produces a rocker that is driven by dirty soulful tones and choppy vocals. kimyon takes us out with a computer rhythm that is mixed down with straight human soul. this vinyl represents a combined effort of artists and craftsmen working together to bring this idea to life.

hailing from the second largest city in norway, terje bakke has currently been making waves withsome mystical, hypnotic and melodic deep house. this is a miracle. bergen, norway is far away from the european house scene, or actually: far away from any music scene except for pop music. however, being excluded from the usual hotspots in the europe is something mr. bakke turned to his advantage: the results are tracks that without any doubt is categorised as deep, maybe even minimal, but sounds idiosyncratic and uniquely his own.

raz ohara and his odd orchestra return for their second album for get physical. >ii< is the follow up album to the critically acclaimed self titled raz ohara & the odd orchestra cd that is considered being one of the album highlights in 2008. its a warm, organic collection of avant-garde, open-hearted pop music which positively teems with life, a forest of pleasures and possibilities which youll want to lose yourself in indefinitely.
>ii< is certainly less melancholic than its predecessor – its imbued with good feeling, energised by the rhythms and cadences of summer and the great outdoors - but its not euphoric, there is an underlying note of caution, of trepidation. this emotional mix is what makes the record so powerful, especially when allied to a similarly ambiguous musical mix: which imperceptibly melds folk, classic pop, electro-acoustic experimentation and modernist electronics. 10 beautiful songs plus a special download (code included in the artwork) of the single >miracle< make this album a perfect journey through the winter days.

limited edition lp!
ironic? no, it’s dead serious: sally shapiro keeps on dreaming of barbie and ken. sometimes good things come to those who wait, as is the case with sally shapiro. one shouldn’t really imagine the bashful swede from göteborg, who never performs live, setting a new trend for turning down lucrative offers. and the thought that she is working on something hip, is most likely even a little eerie for her. after all, she s just into something, which she’s been doing since her childhood in the 1980s — singing songs in the style of her idol sandra (”maria magdalena“). if she hadn’t met her companion johan agebjörn, who despite his musical socialization with techno in the 1990s has been deep into italo disco for the past few years and is a collector of zyx records, sally’s passion for synthi songs and fairy-like female vocals would have remained private. however, johan was screwing together some italo-style songs when he asked sally (whose voice he’d only heard from a previous christmas party karaoke) if she would improvise on his soft keyboard tunes, their collaboration was a done deal.
subsequent to their first releases on the labels diskokaine and permanent vacation, sally shapiro suddenly found herself in the midst of the ultra-hip neo/italo-disco movement, which is especially big in scandinavia. why of all things on the northern peninsula, where one traditionally listens to black metal and indie rock played with legs spread apart, the peculiar, yet sunny disco music became such an export hit, stays one of the mysteries of the pop business. it’s a fact, though, that next to internationally celebrated norwegian neodisco-heroes lindström, prins thomas and todd terje, the lovely sally has become the scandinavian disco-act in the mean time.
