greyscale is set to release its 18th full length cd and this is by one of the busiest and most well respected newer stars in the scene, heavenchord. >o theos einai agapi< is 9 tracks deep of some of the most floaty and serene tracks in our discography. >cloud forest< opens up with a wonderful example of whats to lie ahead. its wide open layered chords arc and shimmer over a soothing spatial background. >deep dimensions< is prone to draw out emotions of long lost memories as you drift along to its echoed-out airy atmosphere. this album isnt fully beatless. there are a few remnants like on >summer grey session< which introduces a broken tech groove while >summer vibes< has you riding on warm waves of calming and peaceful dub goodness. >rare 3< strong chord work shows heavenchords adept craftmanship in this genre that is well beyond his years creating music. the depth created in this album might be its lasting impression. whats not there is as important as what is there. a true shining moment in production!

cd powder is an alchemist of time. her ceremonious dj sets invite listeners and dancers to extend their imaginations to abstracted spaces, while allowing the body to vessel the voyage in free, flowing style. playful, thoughtful, and natural without knowing, powderÕs crates encourage abandonment of arbitrary boundaries and expectations surrounding genre, movement, schedule, and societal convention to revel, spirited and harmonious, in the passage of time. momoko goto relocated from her hometown of nagasaki, japan to tokyo in 2011. this is where the story of powder, as the international dance music community knows her, begins. with the change in location came a change in lifestyle, where a balance of 9-to-5 office life and sacred, nocturnal recording sessions invited moko to reflect on musics unique ability to stop the clock and expand or shrink our sense of time.

the new album from danish electronic trio system is a special kind of collaborative effort with piano magician nils frahm. his purpose-built improvisations on synth, organ and piano served as source material for the members of system (thomas knak, anders remmer & jesper skaaning), who merged his warm acoustic tones with their minimalist digitalism and set out to translate their distinctive clicks ÕnÕ cuts electronics into vivid soundscapes. over two years in the making, the resulting nine tracks are as sonically intriguing as they are touching. ranging from the mellow bliss of the title track to echoes of 90Õs and 2000Õs electronica and ambient sequences frequented by mesmerizing movements and sounds. the blending of piano and digital tones and noises into emotive pieces might instantly recall the work of alva noto and ryuichi sakamoto, though system and frahm come to quite different results.

anders trentem¿llers career is a travel-heavy one, with his touring schedule taking him pretty much all over the world. but its his home port thats inspired his latest project, the sprawling, stunning compilation mix Ôharbour boat trips vol. 02: copenhagen. clocking in at just over an hour long, the compilation sees trentem¿ller curate and craft sixteen songs into a heavy, hazy mix that ranges from shoegaze to electronica, featuring both familiar and celebrated artists like a place to bury strangers (with a new trentem¿ller remix) and slowdive to more obscure finds, as well as trentem¿llers own tracks and remixes, most notably a brand new trentem¿ller cover of neil youngs classic Ôtransformer man. the mix sees him pick up a thread he left off earlier in his career. in 2009 he put together Ôharbour boat trips - 01: copenhagen, a compilation mix comprised of his favourite music, both danish and international, from across four decades, loosely inspired by the motion and movement of copenhagens busy harbour. closing in on a decade later, were getting the second edition, with Ôharbour boat trips - 02 arriving this november.

recently, superpitcher was invited to go on a safari in south africa. he bought a custom made safari hat at his favorite milliner in cologne (ju&#776,rgen eifler) and set off with big eyes and a pair of binoculars. it was wild and wonderful and he saw many exotic (and big!) animals, even a leopard in a tree that told him the secret of the universe. he forgot what the leopard said because his mind was still playing and replaying the sound of what he heard on the first night of his arrival Ð the hypnotic and moving sound of the voices of africa, the voices of the wonderful tanda tula staff choir. there, the choir members work during the day at the camp and at night entertain the guests with their captivating voices and energetic dancing. so impressed was he with their songs and beautiful shangaan language that he decided to record a cd for them to sell in the shop at their camp and now this precious recording is also available through hippie dance / bush recordings on vinyl and cd for you in whatever wherever camp you are. the lp of the tanda tula choir comes with a very pretty poster.

say what you wanna say, but you have to give strahil velchev this: the manÕs a powerhouse. recording and playing live under the kink alias, he went on to become one of finest purveyorÕs of funk in techno and house. what it is, by definition, ainÕt exactly clear. and that is the beauty of it. kinkÕs music is unifying in the best possible way. channeling the spirit and feeling of a time where it didnÕt really matter who the faces behind the music were, kink plays with the elements of genres and sub-genres as if the future of it all is still wide-open. at the same time it could be accused of retro-fetishism, as much as the pope himself is infallible. the pure need to recreate moments, feelings and experience - rather than carbon copies of existing designs - was what started kinkÕs production work. hailing from bulgaria, it was nearly impossible to get your hands on all the records and music that fed into a system of raves, clubs and record shops that seemed far away from sofia, and financially it might as well have meant another galaxy. wanting to dj without having access to the tracks that spun the carousel meant that you had to create them yourselves. so, here we go with a private bootlegger gone public mastermind and one of the loudest voices in house, techno and beyond. from kinkÕs early productions with neville watson to his smash-hit for ovum, a cerebral album for macro, tons of remixes & tracks and his mind-bending live act, playground seems to take all that into a blender. simultaneously a sound-summary, the harvest of a field of ideas, and the exhibition of an artist in his prime, it also works as a sort of kink dictionary: avant-garde soundscapes stand next to boisterous bangers, classic club tracks and peak time emotions

island people is a new band project consisting of mastering engineer conor dalton, grammy award winning producer david donaldson, and musician and dj graeme reedie. on their first self- titled record, they present their collaborative work that evolved over the past three years. being based in different cities, namely berlin and glasgow, files had to be exchanged back and forth between the three band members in order to create tracks. for their delicate sound structures, field recordings and other sound sources were heavily processed and rendered unrecognizable. layer after layer, the tracks came into being quiet naturally, not only reflecting their continuous way of working, but also incorporating their different and individual backgrounds: Òduring the whole creation of the album, we never realized our actions were quickly leading us into forming Èisland peopleÇ, we were too busy having fun, making music and sharing ideas.Ó the result of their collaboration is a timeless music that is as open as a natural phenomenon, developing a certain feeling of euphoria over time. all in all, Èisland peopleÇ is a pure listening record in the best tradition of ambient.

for the next installment in our watergate mix series, we turn to two close friends of the club who also happen to be some of the most sought after selectors today, the dynamic polish duo catz n dogz. the story of the fabled friendship goes back over 10 years when they first played the club inciting the first anecdote in a series of countless returns to both the main and water floors as well as our open air summer events and club showcases throughout europe. within the mix, the pair perfectly encapsulate the vibe of each respective watergate events environment proving they are masters of their craft. over the span of 27 tracks in just over an hours time, catz n dogz showcase their affinity, prowess, and knowledge of all things house. from beginning to end, the mix dives into every corner the genre has to offer, merging classic sounds with future concepts where the sounds of legends like dj garth, joakim, kalexi, jackmate, and mr. g

cd digipack edition ... mit -fixion- hat trentem¿ller einen schlŸssigen nachfolger zu -lost- (2013) erschaffen. -lost- verlieh den erstmals auf dem klassiker -into the great wide yonder- (2010) entworfenen, dŸsteren klanggemŠlden nicht nur neue facetten, es vermittelte ebenfalls die packende wirkung trentem¿llers als liveband. auf -fixion- findet die fŸr den dŠnischen kŸnstler typische melancholie in einer einzigartigen, dunklen und romantischen stimmung nun eine gereifte form. anstatt sich neu erfinden zu wollen, nutzt trentem¿ller seine jŸngste veršffentlichung, um bisher ungeschliffene elemente seines sounds zu einem organischen und geschlossenen, geradezu songorientierten werk zusammenzufŸgen. die wie natŸrlich gewachsene struktur des albums wurzelt noch immer in der leidenschaft des produzenten und kŸnstlers fŸr experimente. leichthŠndig vermengt trentem¿ller einflŸsse und genres, ohne seiner einzigartigen, manchmal fordernden tonsprache untreu zu werden. jeder track auf -fixion-, egal ob voller minimalistisch anschwellender synthie-flŠchen oder treibender elektropunk, erhŠlt seine form durch bewusst eingesetzte melodische vielschichtigkeit. -dieses mal sollte mein musikalisches universum mehr raum besitzen. ich wollte es gewisserma§en auf seine essentiellen bestandteile verdichten und doch all die details behalten, die nur beim aufmerksamen hšren bemerkbar sind-, sagt trentem¿ller.

mit ãfixionÒ erscheint das bis dato ambitionierteste album von anders trentem¿ller! inklusive gastauftritten von u.a. jehnny beth (savages), marie fisker, lisbet fritze, jeppe brix (howl baby howl) u.a.. gemastert wurde das album von grammy-nominee emily lazar in the lodge (david bowie, foo fighters, lou reed, goldfrapp, moby, sonic youth, depeche mode, the velvet underground). .. jewel case ed

die neue fabric-cd kommt vom briten alan fitzpatrick, einem der derzeitigen protagonisten des techno und aushŠngeschild des schwedischen kultlabels drumcode. sein von anfang bis ende durchdachtes mixset zeugt von zeitloser qualitŠt. mit verantwortlich dafŸr sind neben vielen namhaften vertretern des zeitgenšssischen techno auch exklusive edits (mark broom, boxia) sowie bislang noch ungehšrte tracks/remixes von fitzpatrick selbst (where haus?, drewxhill bullets remix).

das duo essaie pas, jŸngst untergekommen bei dfa records, veršffentlicht sein neues album demain est une autre nuit. hinter essaie pas verbergen sich die in montreal lebende marie davidson und ihr musikalischer kompagnon pierre guerineau. die geschichte hinter dem neuen album ist geprŠgt durch einen neuanfang. als die band von ihrer ersten europa-tour zurŸck nach montreal kam, mussten die beiden erfahren, dass ihr proberaum und studio einer schnellen gentrifizierung zum opfer gefallen waren, auch ihre wohnung verloren sie nach einem streit mit dem vermieter. einen neuanfang konnten essaie pas in den industriehallen von le filles electriques wagen, einem veranstalter fŸr verschiedene kŸnstlerische events. this environment influenced our music, sagt pierre. the sounds are more clear and open, the production has more depth, on a full frequency range. die musik von essaie pas lŠsst sich schwer in ein genre zwŠngen, vielmehr ist es ein grenzŸbertritt zwischen verschiedenen sounds.

better strangers is the debut album by manchester based producer acre, set for release by tectonic recordings on 6th november 2015. the album follows eps on both tectonic and sister label cold recordings and visionists pan collaboration label codes. as influenced by rave & jungle, grime and techno as electronica, ambient and drone, his ep releases have been rhythm driven snapshots of other-worldliness spliced with dancefloor sensibilities. acre has sought to explore a wider variety of textures on better strangers to re-contextualise elements from uk bass music, bring them away from the dancefloor and open up new possibilities.
