during the 1950�s american exotica exponents les baxter, martin denny and arthur lyman fused african and latin rhythms with caribbean and polynesian sounds to evoke the sonic equivalent of a tropical island paradise. this 3rd volume of britxotica examines how their english equivalents fuelled by the popularity of hit musical south pacific, attempted to create the same sun-drenched haitian ambience in rain-soaked, post-war london.

these systems are failing ist der titel des neuen albums, das unter dem namen moby & the pacific void choir veröffentlicht wird. moby hat alles hineingepackt, was er liebt: punk, post-punk, new wave, euphoric rave und eine menge geschrei.

having opened up 2015 with his thumping debut *momentary archive* on lobster theremin, sean dodd aka reflec turns out more rhythmic, melodic rollers for war-torn techno imprint pacific command. exploring darker and deeper shades of techno since his last 12 inch, dodd instills his productions with a breakneck velocity, a runaway mentality that threads its way through all three tracks on the ep.

having turned out two hazy, driving eps of muffled techno for lobster theremin sublabel mörk, nthng arrives on pacific command for a rare two track exploration of gritty dutch rave and rolling trance-y techno.
on *are you here*, nthng takes an up-tempo bucket-booted drum shuffle and steadily filters its way into a skittering hat furore, all coated with epic pads and a demi-hoover rave stab. full fire-alarm business.
on the flip, there is serious influence from early trance and techno with the warehouse-crushing *in the afterglow*. constructed on the back of an early 90s hard house-esque alien synth patterns and rolling wildly into the deepest depths of the forest rave, until the long-awaited sunlight pads come bursting through the leaves.

mysterious london techno imprint pacific command send out a hair-raising battle-cry to inaugurate the label, with young production outfit senate debuting for 001. using pummelling berghain-techno as the base-plate, the perth duo set about twisting this into ever more contorted incarnations.

doc severinsen is an accomplished american jazz/pop trumpet player, and as a band leader gained considerable notoriety on the tonight show with johnny carson. like most musicians in the 70s, doc took his shot at the disco and funk sounds of the time, gathered stellar musicians, and released impeccably sounding works. two of these cuts, be with you and shine on me are featured on this release. harvey s unfailing magic touch has yielded two dj-friendly edits with a lot of punch and galactic energy, yet with a velvet undertone. staying true to the mission, the label took great care throughout the production process in order to preserve the quality of the original recordings.

beautifully crafted deep house album by the austrian producer duo bitz & redstar, including the summer hits >flamingo< and >look at me<. an album perfectly suited for open airs, all kinds of beach settings, after hours and any of that lovely sunshine madness. first music is a sub label of leap records.

pacific horizons once again call on friends & family for interpretations of their catalog. oslos frisvold & lindbaek rework their recent single bandini into a rolling psychedelic techno workout. crue-l mastermind kenji takimi takes 2010s forest electric� into bombastic disco territory as being borings. on side b music for dancers co-founder & resident thomas k makes his debut as romeo with an epic remake of beaches of the black sea� complete with fresh vocals & acid. finally, another los angeles luminary, top shelf founder j-disko, screws fata morgana� into a stony, percussive, promethazine-hazed journey into the night.

remixes coming from jacques renault, moon b and sorcerer.

mit dem album aoxomoxoa sind viele premieren der band verbunden. es war das erste album, das sie ausschließlich in tonstudios in nähe ihrer heimatstadt san francisco aufnahm, im pacific recording studio bei san mateo und im pacific high recording studio direkt in san francisco. es ist das erste album, bei dem tom constanten als festes bandmitglied mitspielte. robert hunter arbeitete nur als offizieller songwriter für die band und mit garcia bis zu dessen tod zusammen. zum ersten mal wurde ein schwerpunkt bei akustischen songs wie mountains of the moon und duprees diamond blues gelegt. somit musste lesh zum ersten mal einen akustischen bass spielen, was er mit dem spielen einer violine verglich, da dieser keine bünde für die finger hat.

debütalbum des kalifornischen duos poolside, bestehend aus filip nikolic und jeffrey paradise, letzterer ist zusammen mit zwei mitgliedern von the rapture auch bei den calculators aktiv. poolside mischen auf erfrischende art und weise disco, indie und pop. ihre erste single >do you believe< befand sich in den playlists von todd terje, dimitri from paris und the magician. die zweite single >take me home< war der opener des letzten aeroplane-mixsamplers.

generic modification in effect here on this 3 tracker from seasoned producer and remixer travelling incognito, hush-hush and strictly on the q.t. . straight out of east london, pacific rim dubs mix up deep, bumpin house with soul and boogie, rude acid with funk and fidget grooves with pure disco. in a mash-up style, but without the comedy beats and not a whiff of irony in sight, pacific rim dubs vol1 takes a selection of infectious snippets from the soul/ boogie vaults and blends them into proper house floor fillers

for their new release, >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields<, these two have somehow gone back in time to capture the sound of glacial moving, dark cough syrup pop music. mr. wiltzie has manipulated his trademark stars of the lid sound of haunting ambience, deconstructing, and funneling it through the beautiful voice, and song compositions of chantal acda. together, sleepingdog have gently abducted these gaseous tones, and choruses of pacific tree frogs into some beautifully crafted melancholic orchestration that reminds us all that we exist in a world of strangers, drifting only two feet apart. >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields< is sleepingdogs third album after >naked in a clean bed< (zeal - 2006) and the critically acclaimed >polar life< (gizeh/zeal - 2008).
comes on clear / translucent vinyl, including code for free digital download.

followup to their succesful debut ep that garnered support from harvey, ray mang and more. two balearic tracks (>less pacha, more cafe del mar<) that quietly uphold the west coast soft rock tradition. b/w forest electric. gorgeous sleeve features a full color cover painting by cali artist jay nelson.

this is a little beauty from claremont. the first side features la based fresh ro! (rong music), who presents us with a drifty synth/violin led summer gem that is reminiscent of loggins & messina. the flip side sees apiento & co (paul bryne from the testpressing blog) layering up guitars in a steve reich style which will sure get the goosebumps going. strictly limited to 300, limited clear vinyl 7 inch.

revys music is strange. there really is no better way to put it. having grown up in the pacific northwest usa before moving to tokyo, the influence and contrast of nature and technology are made clear in his mesmerizing pieces. his sound is one that is complicated, rapidly revolving between themes which are at times serious, beautiful, strong and others almost comical and ridiculous. each track encompasses such an emotional gamut that they themselves seem to be intelligent entities.

the smptm label is back again with another sick release! the a side sees dose & menace tackle psidream & pacific s runway track that was initially released on nightfall.. this remix couldn t be laying around doing nothing so no wonder benino syndrome snapped this up for another immense 12 inch!flip it over for menace taking it solo style with his thinking aloud tune.. oldskool vibes mixed in with proper future sounds!the syndrome force is up and running again and ready for global domination!

nice price deal !!! dutch duo pacific & van dyck teams up with the talented anna montgomery and deliver something very nice. the original has been doing the rounds for a while now gaining a constant buzz.alex romano adds his magic and sets the original on fire. it is all about that infective baseline. alex romano is known for delivering solid tunes, but what we are hearing here is ridiculous!

this lovely duo hails straight from the pacific, where they have been busy working on some outer space cuts. well, actually they are taking us on a trip through the more adventurous side of 80s english indie music. something we at moxie like very much.

z records continues its commitment to unearthing the obscure and long forgotten tracks from the last 40 years with the much-anticipated follow up to backstreet brit funk. volume 2 has been eight years in the making and continues to showcase the best of the genre from the late 70s to early 80s, compiled once again by joey negro.

semiomime is the more spherical alter ego of dj hidden/the outside agency. 6 years after his previous album Òfrom memoryÓ and his Òsix stepsÓ ep . it was time to return to mindtrick records with a new album. Òclose onesÓ is an absolute musical milestone for semiomime showing his more sensitive side.
all songs have been written over an extended course of time. they needed to grow and transform to become impressions of memories and the emotions attached to them. he wanted to capture their essence, translate the way they are stored in his head. by doing this, this album became a very personal album.
it will make you think of some of those things that can make life special... remind you of your close ones.

its not everyday that pianist and composer, francesco tristano, joins forces with one of the belleville three Ñ the godfathers of detroit techno Ñ and yet, anyone whos followed the luxembourg artist will know that expectation is not a currency he deals in.
