erste ep des italieners musumeci für diynamic nach seinen beiden remixes für das label in 2015 und 2016, sowie zahlreichen releases auf aeon, bedrock, connaisseur, compost black label, my favorite robot und off recordings. die inspiration zum titeltrack lieferte ein dystopisches instrument namens penfield mood organ aus der sci-fi-novelle “do androids dream of electric sheep”.
the new sagat is truly emotional: the drums are neat and the sounds are warm. tight groovy rhythms travelling within layers of the deepest dark dub without sounding evident or tried. familiar but new. precise funk made of techno frequencies. reverb and delays that bring butter to your ears: melting the earth onto your body. *melt* is a body: it has a rhythmic pattern and synths that pop up like a breathing living organism. *earth* is the landscape: you can visualize it. *organs* is your brain thinking about a better dance world and *body* is what is left to dance in the way old gescom vynils used to.
organs of love are the power-sleaze duo of james mckinven (organs, love) and alicia matthews (vocals, love). james mckinvens musical odyssey started with playing synth in (kraftwerk, suicide-inspired) electro band berlin blondes. he then moved on to altered images. after that he worked in genetic studios learning from the modern day genius that was producer martin rushent (human league, the stranglers, the buzzcocks). then went on to form one dove and worked with maverick genius andy weatherall. after that he drifted back to where it all started, analog electro, and miss alicia matthews. alicia matthews has quite a different background – one from fine art and performance. through working together at the same bar and having many intoxicating late night chats, they decided to try to get back to a 70s theatrical, musical performance: where live music and art combine for something beyond the rock gig vibe. and luckily enough, miss matthews has quite the pair of pipes – a true vocal delight. the result is organs of love … who frequently perform live around glasgow and have quite the reputation of thee band to see. videos can be provided, but they are not for the faint-hearted! not that optimo music ever provide a dull moment …
f-dorm is a collaboration between connor camburn of litüus (avian), and visual artist conor ekstrom. commune follows the first f dorm cassette on mazurka and presents the first lp by the project. songs build upon unexpected repetition, wielding normally aggressive sounds into meditative loops with subtle textural evolutions. bursts of tape saturation, controlled waves of feedback, and linear drum beats shift and weave together through rhythmic delays. affected vocals speak low as if coaxing the listener further out into the nether regions of the mind. the strange cumulative mood of the record is difficult to describe: a transcendental state or a foul parallel from which the listener arises stronger or does not arise at all. mummies in civilian clothes -the master of the riddle-a dollmind haunts me in the penitentiary -the puttyman, naked inside -a mind made of cream
first single release from the debut album r.u.r by djedjotronic, featuring douglas mccarthy (nitzer ebb) on vocals. backed up with remixes from obscure shape & shdw and broken english club.
do yourself a favour and dance across the floor when listening to the new jacob korn-record, aptly titled son of gx. the music is heavily based on the good old yamaha electone organ. the home organ for the world s gentlemen was modified by jacob himself and is now an integral part of his studio. as you ll hear it on the ep, it injects a decent dose of fun into jacob s vision of house music. at least, you will instantly notice that when listening to singlefinger chord, a track that conquers the floor with its disco elements. rumours say that jacob s cat toddled on his poor man s yamaha cs80 when producing cats on organs. if that s true, the cat provided an irresistible hook to an already slamming, italo-inspired track. son of gx is every bit as compelling as the first two tracks with its synth trumpet glory while the slighty darker fun blocks sustains us with heavy percussion works straight out of the yamaha electone organ. on top, you ll get a remix for singlefinger chord by new york s jacques renault (let s play house) as digital bonus.
the echt walle traxx sound like driving a rented car in the shadow of the tv-tower through bremen-walle, bringing back the empty crates of beer from last night’s outdoor rave, craving for champagne breakfast while being lovesick and exhausted, and it’s raining outside (slightly).

auf seinem neuen album -r.u.r.- lässt der berliner produzent djedjotronic den kalten maschinen warme herzschläge folgen und umgekehrt. aufgenommen in einem basement in südfrankreich, besitzt -r.u.r.- eine techno-futuristische thematik über moderne isolation, robotik, ki, simulation und cyborgs, während es musikalisch hinweise auf ähnlich gelagerte produzenten-legenden wie cybotron, if, the hacker und ivan smagghe (zu seinen glorreichen dj-tagen im pariser pulp) gibt. der aggressivste dancefloor-moment ist zweifellos -take me down- mit douglas mccarthy (nitzer ebb) on vocals, ein industrial-arpeggio-monstertrack.
