the title track on tychos long-awaited dive lp is just that — a ripple effect record that sounds like three songs in one, as if sound/graphic designer scott hansen just discovered progrock and decided to apply its winding passages to his own singular blend of sinewy synths and bleached beats. its also the first tycho song to feature a prominent guest musician, guitarist zac brown, in this case, who paints outside the lines of hansens halcyon hooks with restless rhythms and monorail-like riffs. the >dive< single fleshes things out even further, as keep shelly in athens and memoryhouse — both rising underground artists in their own right — cut hansens cloud-scraping composition in half and slow his cruise control chords down to a crawl. the misty vocal melodies are still there, but they are now floating through an embryonic assembly of jittery cicadas, rusty gears, and lean loops that are both welcoming and a bit woozy. the sonic equivalent of staring at the sun for too long, really, or two sides of the same cracked mirror.

nsyde is delighted to welcome another outstanding artists within our little growing family, imugem orihasam. with this ep nsyde indulges his love for pure detroit techno.imugem orihasam succeeds like no other to balance apparent opposites by using cool and clear transparency in contrast to the mesmerizing and warm pulsating soundscapes to create depth of the highest quality. if jeff mills and john beltran would ever have collaborated then it would probably sound like a1 “gleam from distant gate” is one of those tracks which seem quite unremarkable first, but with the time it creates a massiv hypnotic attraction, a wormhole-like effect you cannot escape from. that space seems endless, just right big enough to loose yourself in it. b1 misty evening seems to be just the right soundtrack to build an underwater metropolisis. it starts building a 2 minute elevated tension before its firering on all cylinders. b2 kotoni is clearest balance and harmony. it sooths your soul like the presense of a japanese garden. spirits are floating free – time and space is marvelous! welcome imugem orihasam!

despite the doors being closed on dissident in 2009, former boss andy blake has been anything but quiet, with his world unknown imprint bringing the acid and ebm sounds of his night of the same name to the world. now hes started another label, in plain sight, which looks set to bring more esoteric house sounds to our ears, with the first release coming from the hitherto unknown youngtee. the first track, >dr chocolate< fuses the kind of oddball low-slung sounds and spoken-word samples that in flagranti have been masters of for years, with jazzy keys and 808 cowbells which hint at a subtle chicago influence. the classic house influence continues of >perfect model<, which combines misty chords with an 80s pop groove, falsetto vocal sample and synth jam solo which comes across as alternate universe michael jackson track. as youd expect from a label curated by blake, its house music, but not quite as you know it.

emily jane white was raised in fort bragg, california, a seaside town nestled in the misty, secluded woodland of the mendocino coast where old men tell stories about logging and young girls dream of san francisco. time moves slowly in fort bragg, where in place of big city sharp shocks of excitement there stretches one drawn out, stable truth, quiet and unflinching. you will live, fort bragg says, and then you will also assuredly die.

bot ox is one of many side projects for french label owner and music tastemaker cosmo vitelli, in partnership with julien briffaz (better known as one half of tekel). their last single >crashed cadillac< was one of the highlights from i m a cliches moments of a crisis compilation from earlier this year. this latest effort is a real slow burner, with the misty voice of anna jean flowing over top of lo-fi melodies and blistering rhythms. weve also heard the flip side for the release – >bearded lady motorcycle show< – which is a more aggressive electro growler.

a new gleaming star in the sky, intending to point the way in the promised land, abates the first misty-eyed, playful publication. nonetheless jackin, house-bounce red threads twist thru all tracks, which could not be more divergent. excellent, then each one is a grandiose dj-tool destined to keep the hearing nerves back in time. diversify guaranteed and impossible to keep still. label owners are the always-on-top swiss dj and producer steve cole and the berlin born robert stolt, charactering a part of the dj- and producing team with the pathbreaking name tagträumer2. it was his original contribution, impudent, vibrating propelling was unmistakable jimi hendrixs muse. like his mentor, he cleverly combined rock n roll with reveries, today an explosive mixture. the remix of tigerskin aka dub taylor is a psychedelic sound, that remind us of the best years of bordercommunity, like a nice lsd-trip known in to those days. the cream on the cakeis steve coles remix, maximal in defiance of minimal. he compiles the language of the woodstock heroes into the >sound of berlin< and wrapped it into a story, which can be patiently eavesdropped.

incl boris brejcha remix, busy time of the year continues for the jesus loved you label as two artists join forces to put out the release no.012. the original song was produced by somewhat mysterious space explorers duo. not much is known about this guys, their music, however, seems to have a distinct oriental flavour. in the southwestern parts of europe , >kaffana< is a traditional type of barroom where male customers like to spend their spare time. the track is like a short movie, describing the life of such place. the highly percussive first segment seems to correspond to the busy evening hours with their lively music and dancing. the exotic oriental theme that follows leads you to the misty afterhours when everything becomes possible. and just like in a good movie, the last part is the most exiting, making you feel as if you were involved in a car chase..,

2021 repress ! the album itself features ten new tracks of pure legowelt music mainly recorded in de hague in the past year, but also on the road during tours of la, the californian desert, tokyo (which spawned crystal cult 2080) and tejada gran canaria (where the future of myself was written.) where his last album the paranormal soul was an organic trip into misty forests, this one seems more concerned with medieval spirits its deeper, darker and the whole thing is tied together by a more coherent sense of ancient alchemy

pianos have featured in house music since day one. there s just something about the combination of looping piano chords and a skipping house groove which works so well. in contemporary dance music the piano still remains intrinsically linked to house, though it was in the late 80s and 90s that the true piano house classics were created. we took it to our hearts. the emotionally charged piano riff became a defining motif of uk dance music. producers knew they only had to alight upon a suitably uplifting three-chord piano hook in order to unleash a tide of misty nostalgia for rave s halcyon days. ministry of sound are proud to present piano house classics.
