excellent movin minimal tech phunk traxx...10 track album

minimal techno flowing freely once more on this superb 2-tracker, again focusing on rob s love of stripped down floor-friendly techno, with synths sweeping and swelling to provide some textures for his stellar drum patterns and throbbing basslines.

song in mayleads in with clarks vocal and a deep funky bassline, before being joined by warm chords and crisp beats on this deep house gem, with both the main mix and instrumental takes sure to please. on the flip, kemit goes out in his kemistry guise, reworking the track with rearranged drum patterns, added layers of synths, and a great guitar hook.

hypnotic techno is the name of the game & petar is god! check “heat” with some old school stabs & patterns to create the ultimate repetitive hypnotic dancefloor slammer! while on the flip, both tracks stand out because of their unique playability, one for the masses, without losing that hypnotic edge!

tiefer tonnenschwerer soul-house der die 70er dekade in all ihren facetten wiederspiegelt. soulphiction zeigt, dass man auch als weissbrot ohne hinter vorhängen platten aufzulegen, blackmusic samt ursprüngen verstanden haben darf.

phat kickin techno slammer

perpetua is an ambient/neo-classical album by cedric vermue. a surrealistic dream where traditional instruments and studio-processed instruments meet. limited edition gatefolded cd (150 only)

after an ep visit from germany based artist basicnoise, it was only a matter of time before he presented greyscale with a full length. and what a strong album it is too! pattern explorations is mixture of heavy dub grooves that verge on deep techno. chords and grooves coexisting in full dub harmony. pattern explorations part 1 pulsates thru the lower frequencies making this an optimum dancefloor workhorse without losing the deepness to get transfixed by. creatives basslines and structures are explored to their fullest. patterns are experimented with but never overstep the boundaries of making a proper dub groove like in part 2. part 3 clocks in at over 13 minutes making it the second longest foray into deepness. there is a feeling of hope and eternal beauty as the atmosphere blissfully sets in among the surroundings. the patterns aren t limited to rhythm section as this one is a testament too. chords share a stratosphere with melody elements in complete grandeur. part 5 is a bit of a banger as the relentless beat pulls the listener forward in unison. part vi is particularly exciting adding remnants of an acid line and many other unique spacey bleeps and zaps. uncharted explorations for the genre of dub techno on this one! part 7 is just down right sick. over 14 minutes of an unforgiving and highly addictive dub tech groove makes this a sure-fire dancefloor destroyer. the reprise of part 2 brings the mood down quickly for an otherworldly lullaby. drifting off after that uptempo ride makes for a smooth landing as the album winds down. basicnoise came with it for greyscale s 23rd full length album! pattern explorations in full effect!

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.

this is gajek. this is 17. come in, feel free. dont worry if you see a flute in the sink. matti gajek s followup to his 2014 debut album restless shapes opens the floodgates to signals from a future best navigated by ear. moving through polyphonic pulses, layers of grooves and sounds, zooming in and out of ever evolving patterns of concentration and decomposition, the ten tracks of gajeks 17 are electrifyingly futuristic clubmusic true to the almost five decades old motto of berlins zodiak free arts lab: ãtotal freie musik - totally free music. paying tribute to electronic pioneers like hans-joachim roedelius and florian fricke while staying clear of historical mystification gajek revisits the abstract clarity and improvisational audacity of 1970s electronics from a perspective this is not 71. today motoric rhythms emerge and elapse from postdigital aural scapes, intense and sublime, linking the thermodynamic to the ephemeral. beyond the echoes of past utopias 17 discovers present signs for possible tomorrows.

steffi occupies a unique space in the realm of contemporary electronic music. although she s a world renowned dj, steffi s musical interests reach far beyond the dancefloor, and it s her work as a producer that has established an impressive, hard-won legacy. soon after moving to berlin in 2007, steffi joined ostgut, becoming a resident at panorama bar and releasing on the club s label. to date she s released five albums, including two solo for ostgut ton, a co-production with virginia, another with analogue cops as third side and a collaboration as doms & deykers on martyn s 3024 label. her impressive discography features club classics like Ò yours feat. virginiaÓ , carefully chosen remixes and appearances on labels including permanent vacation, underground quality and mixes for panorama bar and fabric. she owns and operates four labels: klakson (with dexter), dolly, dolly deluxe and dolly dubs. world of the waking state is steffi s third solo album for ostgut ton and a musical departure for both her and the label. it s also a serious statement of intent. over ten tracks she embarks on entirely new electronic terrain for her productions, marking industrial spaces with superlunary warmth while exercising a refined knowledge of polyphony and arrangement. subdued melodies interact with each other over implied harmonies and microcosmic drum patterns, luring us into a world that is introverted, bewildering and gratifying all at once.

conceptual drum n bass album by kos.mos.music, which has been prepared for several years and consists of tracks united in their unordinary commonness. in a word, the general genre of the album is drum n bass, but all the tracks and each in particular are a mixture of different electronic genres based on drum n bass and jungle rhythm. one can hear sounding of idm, ethnic patterns, feel a strong influence of psychedelic electronics and in patches even some techno.
the album is opened by the harsh reality by loucura & dailiv - a powerful halfstep based on kick and bass, hypnotizing pads and drones with putting in trance melody. further dynamics of the album varies from dancefloor rolling tracks by electrosoul system, liquitek, vortex involute to avant-garde dissident & marginal, deep liquid tracks by nclear, triple sky, nummix, basic maneuver, bop & electrosoul system collab and breakbeat/jungle track by pryzma. the album is closed by shamanic bass track by light monday. vinyl version contains exclusive track by m25 & first function with more predominant idm texture.

the reveries begin with a simple electrical hum Ð a starting signal for the appearance of a vibrant array of sound, shifting before us in seemingly random motion. before we know it, all those pulsating melodies, razor-cut hifi-house beats and drunken robot jazz ensembles start forming into patterns, secretly & perfectly designed by one art alfie. a long time operator in stockholmÕs small but insistent underground music scene, oscar wedrŽn broke through internationally in 2012 with the karlovak project, founded with on-off studio and dj partner rudolf nordstršm, a.k.a. mr. tophat. the duoÕs inexplicably fresh takes on classic dance music tropes is as much a result of a brilliantly odd pairing of personalities as of a defined concept and a precise method in searching for the perfect house groove. while writing reveries of, released early spring 2017 through studio barnhus, art alfie freed himself of all conceptual footholds, delving instead deep into his archives of old and new memories and feels, working with improptu field recordings and emotionally-guided sampling processes. he came back with an intricate and personal debut album and he didnÕt lose his groove on the way.

based on the eponymous play by brothers and author/performer team tobi and mike mŸller at schauspielhaus zŸrich, swiss experimental documentary film a1 traverses through time and space along switzerlandÕs first and most elongated highway structure. rich in archival sources, it sheds light on the costs and benefits of rapid movement: social, migratory and ecological patterns, economic and military designs that are mostly not immediately obvious to the casual motorist. stefan goldmannÕs soundtrack engages the filmÕs multi-layered aesthetics full on, providing a dazzling array of short compositions. profoundly synthetic in production, this free-wheeling phantasmagoria of peculiar, yet intensely likeable miniatures branches off into all directions Ð from minimalistic to overflowing, calm to banging, nightmarish to soothing. the visual patina of historic documents is playfully mirrored in intense distortion and noise artifacts, bound into rhythmic units and melodies formed of ghost notes. finding ever new ways of mining his techno background to yield surprising new forms and ideas, stefan goldmann has proven his abilities in a dazzling range of projects over the past years. works for dance, ensembles, an opera and various object-based creations made him a natural choice for the job of finding a refreshing way of linking sound and image. on its own, the music holds up by putting the listener on a high-velocity road trip of the curious mind.

vin ploile is a gaseous kinetic atmosphere full of tangible rhythm patterns & modular synth pads.

15 tracks full of surprising twists and turns and genre defying sounds and rhythmic patterns.

when messiaen set out to transcribe birds songs as models for his compositions, he couldn t have predicted that by now wild birds would have started to learn mobile phone ringtone patterns. for a system of objects, raudive aka oliver ho maps an obliquely constructed world in which you lose all certainty of what is nature and what is design. raudive celebrates dance and auditory scenes as rituals, employing our surroundings as sources of ahistorical found sound - primitive technologies used to reach magickal states. a drum machine and a wooden stick, a sawtooth-shaped electric current and a split rock all turn into empirical objects of the same class, without a definite past or a predictable impact.

phil weeks is a house music purist. whether djing or producing, the parisian with the huge personality delivers raw beats influenced in equal measure by classic chicago house and nu-school french flair, underpinned with a hip-hop attitude. his long running robsoul recordings also defines him as one of the most skilled label heads in underground house music

curated and mixed by label owner alex tsotsos aka gummihz, the labels first compilation marks the first milestone to the labels short lifespan. spreading the message of claap!

on his debut album the host works in a spacey interzone, using vintage gear to create dramatic panoramas for the headphoned mind. he creates a unique suite of modern impressionistic sonics that tumble and waft in and out of the mix, earthed with strong melodies that take inspiration from net-age genres while never recalling them directly. throughout, he masters all the potentials of vintage synths, drum machines and reverbs, along with guitar and bass to explore a sound that sets him apart from producers working on computers, creating something much more band-like but rich with lively micro-detail.

brainmath was the first of ramps three sub-labelsÑthe others being fourth wave and patterns.between 2008 and 2010 it released a string of eps by now-established bass artists, including works by zomby, sbtrkt and james blake, plus roskas only production as bakongo

walls alessio natalizia and sam willis dont deal in perfect wholes. the kompakt duo return swiftly on the back of 2010 s critically lauded self titled debut, an album that picked up mojos coveted electronic album of the year, featured in nmes end-of-year lists, not to mention winning fans such as of jamie xx, caribou, james holden and impressing us trio battles so much that they have invited the pair on tour around the us this coming october. yet it isnt these admittedly impressive accolades that make the announcement of second lp >coracle< such an anticipated one, what makes walls so alluring is the fully immersive experience of their mellifluous electronica Ð reaching out far and wide to pull influences sonic, emotional and theoretical together into patterns of blissful phantasmagoria. taking their debut as the prototype, willis and natalizia have taken those initial early-sunrise evocations and pushed them to even more grandiose expanse

dj diamond is 24 year old karlis griffin from the west side of chicago. he has been producing music since the age of 13 and djing since 20, heading the -flight muzik- clique of footwork producers. you might recall his two tracks from our -bangs & works vol.1- footwork compilation of last year. in addition hes also released several mix cds in chicago, but this, his first international album showcases his unique style of footwork music. dj diamond is a unique producer with his own distinct style and an unusual ear for unexpected sonic and rhythmic combinations within the footwork template. often he thoroughly edits samples into tiny trance-inducing, techno-like stabs. combining this with a penchant for neon synths and loose, broken drums (that are often more effect-laden and freeform than those of of his peers) and you have a sound which has an intriguing, deeper, dreamlike feel. the breadth and quality of his production is clear when you listen to this album. take opener -rep yo clique-s woozy drawling synths and tribal tom patterns next to -speakerz n tonguez- with it-s snapping snares, minimal, repetitive voice samples and martial, detailed drum work. then a track like -torture rack- which is like grime in outer space: a minimal bassline and some samples from a computer game, while a bass kick stumbles at half time, swarms of percussive detail giving it drama. its a brilliant exercise in wonky tension. the extraordinary -decoded- comes across like a kind of amalgam of trance and prog rock bombast at 160bpm while -wreckageÕs- high pitch saw noise is like a strange metallic bird-call, over light cymbals, gabba-like kicks and metallic claps. -digimons- harmonic microedits could even be an snd track transported to chicago. finally the albums closer -i choose you- rolls out over a heavily edited and processed soul sample, its drums rolling off at odd angles to almost seasick effect.

pingipung presents >the kenya sessions< - an enchanting cooperative mission featuring sven kacirek, our experimental drummer and electronic producer, and musicians from kenya. the kenya sessions is the result of svens extended visit to the country with live and fieldrec sessions which he later processed in his studio in hamburg. sven kacirek plays with local kenyan stars such as 80 year-old female vocalist ogoya nengo, or with joseph oganga, who delivers amazing patterns with his >nyatiti<, a traditional string instrument. its sometimes difficult to tell the parts recorded in kenya from those overdubbed by sven kacirek himself. his own compilation of marimba, bassdrums and brush patterns forms a musical thread that he weaves skillfully into the live sessions. at times joyfully straight (arsenal aluny vilage) at times mellow and melancholy (mariae, paperflowers). sven kacirek and some of the kenyan musicians will bring this fantastic material on international stages in early 2011. the linernotes by goetz steeger illustrate the detailed recording process of this record. >the kenya sessions< is pingipungs second album by sven kacirek who has a background as virtuoso jazz drummer. he studied at drummers collective in new york, played several solo-shows at the world drum festival and has written books on the experimental use of electronics on the drumset. on his solo debut >the palmin sessions< in 2007 he presented his original ambient aesthetics made from silent patterns recorded on paper, wood, or glass surfaces: >svens frantic drumming is really a pure pleasure to listen to ... his instruments join together in a deeply meditative study< (foxy digitalis)

pixelÕs third album the drive is meant to be the soundtrack to his imaginary journey by car across the u.s.a., a road movie encoded in the track list. with warm and deep guitar amplifier hiss and feedback in connection with floating rhythms he creates very organic sound patterns. the music might evoke images of deserts, chemical warfare plants, rugged landscapes, rocket takeoffs and hectic suburban night life

ark makes us happy again with his punkfunk. weird stutterhouse patterns with hip hop grooves and funky vocals. for the latter he has invited two guests: on sucubz xavier vindard sounds even dirtier than james brown. this album should be listened to with your sneakers on because you wont stop moving your feet till your neighbour rings the bell
