primus motor sees ekman return to many of the sounds that gained him a reputation as an artist on labels like bunker and berceuse heroique. although harsh bucking acid lines, pockmarked notes, brutal beats and eerie echo are all present, a new tone has been added to the caustic palette. a psychological nuance, an undercurrent of the inchoate has been investigated and exploited to chilling effect. crippling psychoses. debilitating neuroses. physical pain. suffering stalks this first full vinyl album. sinister sounds encircle the eight offerings, hovering like vultures over inhospitable plains of ashen grey, jagged peaks and dark sweeping swamps. hope is all but drawn away in this bleached audio landscape, drained by sheer synthlines and reduced renderings. amidst the sorrow and strain there are pin pricks of joy, albeit bleak and pallid ones. an album that unnerves as it engages, a collection of icy radiance and industrial indifference from a dutch master.

rawax welcomes patrick raddatz, robin scholz and philipp boß r&s-b&s collective to the family! robin scholz already showed us his talent with the debut ep called -retrospective ep- on the rawax 10 inch series (10.5) also on rawax004ltd together with einzelkind as rhythm factory and last but not least with label boss robert drewek as rdrs on housewax (h1004). philip boß is the label owner of high rising -einfach hören- label which entered the record stores some weeks ago. patrick raddatz is one of the old school dj s from frankfurt. active since 2 decades known from the famous x-fade nights on radio x and of course of his -everglade reshape- on weave records which was 2005 a very big club hit all over the world. this new production is a fantastic demonstration of advanced space electro & ambient - worth to check!

born marco sterk, he certainly doesnt come from a standard dj background. a former skate rat who grew up loving american post-hardcore and 90s hip-hop as much as early warp records, hes been affiliated over the years with amsterdam institutions such as rush hour, red light records (where you ll find him most weekdays!) and, of course, dekmantel itself. still, thers no question that hes always followed his own path, even during the years that playing his favorite records meant that he was occasionally clearing dancefloors

nach der pianogetriebenen, kaum verhallten, trockenen und schwammfreien platte „melancholie & gesellschaft“ (2008) hat der künstler nun darauf verzichtet, ein jazzalbum, ein ambient-schichtenmodell oder einen anderen extremen selbstversuch zu starten.
„das ende der beschwerde“ ist popmusik mit großem schallraum, teilweise mit tatsächlicher, live-im-studio aufgenommener band, teilweise mit imaginierter gruppe, der man im kopf selbst die köpfe aufsetzen kann. „das ende der beschwerde“ ist eine ende-platte wie „lieder vom ende des kapitalismus“ (2006), es ist eine lieder-platte, weil zwölf lieder drauf sind (so wie auf „vierzehn lieder“ (2001) vierzehn lieder drauf waren), aber vor allem ist es eine problemlöse-platte. pop tut dies, pop tut das, hat man oft genug gehört – aber was pop eben wirklich immer tut, wenn er gut ist: eine utopie aufwerfen. möglichkeiten formulieren, unsere geschichte weiterspinnen.
