this is the first record of the modern house quintet, a french band who makes house music. it features two house-deep house tracks: * bosphore* starts with a piano loop and a deep house bass line which are steadily joined with several other chords, percussions and a jazz guitar. * venise* begins with a bass line and a piano chords which progressively evolve until the break introduces heavy open hit-hats and then, a flute pursues and concludes this deep house trip.

following last years meditative mirage ep and the stunning * beat 13* on lovers rock no. 6, earthen sea returns to lr with his debut lp ink. his heaviest and most ambitious work to date, ink is a work of hypnotic, monastic beauty. over the last ten years, earthen sea, aka jacob long, has been developing a sound world all his own, built on a foundation of vaporous grey-black drones and pulsing kick drums. an impressionistic dream-scape of american life, ink journeys between the eerily vacant “entrance” to the feverish “stateless” and the shimmering perfection of “all men know the truth.” swaths of violent, glacial noise collide with lost voices transmitted through the ether, framed between moments of transcendent clarity. following an extended three song suite, closing track * blues in black ink* rides a gently falling piano melody into a finale that is as infused with political rage as it is with private melancholy. with ink, earthen sea arrives fully formed, an artist in utter command of his craft.

with releases on hommage and monaberry he is one to watch this year in house and underground electronical music scene 2015.blowish gets things started with a chunky kick lead beat, sizzling hats and a repetive piano chord that instantly provide a high rush of energy. the track works around a deadly combination of tension and suspense! after the long break as the groove kicks back, a bouncy and melodic baseline push your hip to the dancefloor. ...

andré laos second act on let s play house is a continuation of his first. like roundabout, nordic delight (the guy hails from gothenburg, so you can guess where the title originated), is sunny and bright piano laden house that s as melodious as it is layered and ornate. unlike that ep, though, this one really revolves around one track stroganoff which is presented in three different forms: a vocal mix, a piano stew dub, and a remix from anton klint of tiedye. supplementing and equalizing those is kalops, the 12inches second original.

having debuted on valcrond video label last year with the immured 12- under her familiar xosar alias, sheela rahman now returns to the platform for some shared make-believe with founder luke wyatt for new project body tools. taking a catalogue number as its title, this two track 12inch follows a succession of body tools radio broadcasts on berlin community radio and showcases a softer, more hypnotic side which in the case of lead track locusts & lions hits hard when the poignant piano makes its presence felt. brave channels a strange, modern kosmische vibe that will really hit the spot deep in the mix.

mastermaster kicks things off and drives a shifting sequence through a lo-fi break, plodding piano notes and a clipped, lively vocal hook before -bruce wayne- melds spring reverb and squelching flangers to treat guitar riffs and more 80s drums. eerily wobbling synths shimmer over head before -hornet green- drives a sprung kick under tense, soundtrack synth tones and a sandy shuffle as a cinematic pursuit is rendered. -valium- then sets sultry vocals floating through more hazy drum breaks and softly shifting chords. rhythmic variation and more vintage effects wade in and round off off a refreshing package of rich and intriguing gems and another fine addition to the charlois series.

ravage are happy to announce that rising dutch talent, daniel te boekhorst aka induction, will take centre stage as the first artist to release on the label with liturgical hymns, the first in our ravage white series. surrounded by music in his youth and having learned piano at an early age, inductions play things were eventually set aside and replaced by his fathers analogue hardware and synthesizers. it was in the blood. his sound? a heady concoction of electronica that ranges from deep, melodic and groovy to more urgent and harder realms. a fresh face and name for the scene but one that is destined for great things, all starting right here with rws001 - liturgical hymns.

gary martin releases his second sequential ep on motech records, the *this is it* ep. the ep features two more exclusive tracks, *this is it* a driving composition accented with piano and synth patterns and subtle funky movement, and *galaxy style* a percussive, building composition expertly laced with muted samples and synth progressions.
included on this ep are two remixes from techno veterans mark broom and rolando. broom takes on *this is it* chopping the original into a hyper dance floor drubbing burner. rolando re-treats *galaxy style* into a composition that unfolds as it progresses, bathed in signature rolando production elements.

dynarec started making music in 1994. his productions, influenced by drexciya and dopplereffekt, are a mix of deep atmospheric pads and leads with – cool to very heavy – drums.his first releases on delsin in 2003 and 2004 were picked up by dj’s such as laurent garnier and dave clarke. after some more records on nature and kondi, he started his own « vaporwave » label in 2005, four records were released to date. he is able to fill in some very emotional and melodic workout that makes you wonder, how is he able to do that? playing piano since he was 6 years old could be an answer to his performing skills. apart from delsin, nature and kondi, he has also released on southern outpost, electrix and lately, on keith tucker’s puzzlebox label (us) and on cultivated electronics (uk). dynarec also releases music under the names of speakwave and chris kalera. he has performed worldwide, including festivals such as the famous stereolize, in paris, and the amsterdam dance event, amongst others.

with its eighth release, leipzig-based holger records introduces yet another new artist: vai has been active in the scene for a few years already, with various production teams and aliases. his new project is heading for a different path though: son of idaia is his most intimate work to date, a highly personal record. the elements in use are almost fragile, winding around each other and hard to grasp. so is the music: in between ambient, electronica and ghostly techno it seems removed from its club origins and yet still reverberating these roots. a deep trip down the rabbit hole, dubby, immersive and glowing in all its calm beauty. holger 8 introduces a new line of cover artworks, courtesy of lukas mehling.

the first vinyl release on abandoned audio, the new sub-label from 31337 records, ezekiel honig‘s ‘a film of string & wood‘ continues his form of refracted, geographically oriented, electroacoustics. sitting in a background of field recordings and incidental real-world objects, textured piano and horns act as cement for chunky, yet subdued rhythms that fall over themselves and snap back into place. warm, looming tonal progressions remain incredibly intimate and focused while retaining an expansiveness of space, a perfect metaphor for honig’s music on the whole – personal and specific while intersecting with something more universal. throughout its five tracks, ‘a film of string & wood‘ stretches and pulls its melodies, weaving them through each blocky snare, each bassy kick drum phrase, with a heart and mind that hearkens to a different time, memory-tinged with a nostalgia for a moment that is yet to pass. pressed on sturdy 180 gram vinyl and featuring artwork/design by ezekiel honig.

after seducing people around the world with the future classic into the sun on local talks oneoffs label and footwork anthems on don t believe released on studio barnhus it s now time to present daybreak or as tooli described the track the first time he heard it -it s like listening to deep burnt part 2-. perhaps it was the jetlag (tooli arrived in nyc the very same day henry sent it) or the fact that it s a straight forward deep track with lush strings and no fuzz included. it s up to you to decide. for remix duties label boss tooli was brave enough to have a go himself and recorded some piano chords and strings. on the flip is where the real magic happens - parkway records head honcho mark seven, considered by many as a dj s dj and mighty fine producer, delivers a remix that takes you on a journey and a half. it s deep, got tons of percussions and lures you into afro territory. if body and soul was still around this one would peak on a sunday afternoon.

klangscheiben records is proud to present its frst vinyl release of a brand new series, a various artists compilation entitled „the fable“. while some tales start with “once upon a time“, this one begins with the candid rhythms and guileless synergy of german duo metaboman and large m’s “taverne master”. canadian minimal masterminds akufen and pheek each provide their own input: the former’s weaving synth-driven jazzy storylines, the latter’s a trip through fragmented instrumentals and a min-tech narrative. klangscheiben label boss demas shows his fangs with a brooding slow burner permeated by skin-crawling microsounds, a flow picked up by montreal producer magnanime’s “psychomagic master”. ark’s parable is awash with echoing vocal snippets and an addictive piano riff, melting into the strange sound of tom ellis, whose “shotgun” is at once stripped back and full of life. tomas jirku wraps up the release with “one monkey”, a glitchy, eccentric minimal piece that is as unpredictable as you’d expect from the vancouver producer. the moral of the story? listen and fnd out.

kicking things off on the a side is herbie s jam , an effortlessly cool house edit of the legendary jazz pioneer that features an infectious piano loop, live drums and a funky bassline which we re sure is going to become a staple at day time parties and sunset sets this summer. there s also an incredibly smooth and soulful trumpet sample to complete the jam and tie everything together. on the flip you ll find a more up beat and peak time affair called oliver that keeps the same jam session vibe as on the a side, but this time employs sultry organ keys, breezy guitar licks, and a truly groovy saxophone contribution that makes you just want to get up and move. just as with their previous releases, this is a hand stamped, limited, 12- that won t be around for long.

helsinki based label friendship & decadence was setup to tap in to the helsinki electronic music scene and highlight those young and talented producers who inhabit the city. the first release comes via the collective known as joint minds, comprising of three artists autoexec, poly sone & miss kade. the 2 tracks are both live jams recorded using a host of outboard and analogue equipment. -commotion- fills the a-side of the vinyl with a throbbing acid bassline and pulsating industrial stabs, whilst the flip side takes a more stripped back approach. with -headstuck-, a delayed piano floats around rolling drum pattern, uk techno influences aplenty.

welcome back to the movielike resonating sound world of the 23s. already in 2008 the mysterious one-man band proofed with the album “bolivia” that they are trying to do another kind of music – something that isn’t entertainment, something that isn’t show, something that goes gently straight to your soul. now the producer from nord-rhine-westphalia did it again and tuned in the longplayer “flamingo”. anew he delivers a special kind of cinematic journey music that grooves opposite to his other, more rhythm based hypnotic dance productions. also as the 23s he produces pattern-based music, but it pursues a different intention: each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films that his inner eye creates unprejudiced. all ten tracks are romantic smooth operators. they put themselves in service of an artistic vision, in which the listener should get lost in music. the album can be seen as a love-letter to the movie scores of the french 70s cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements you can hear in the early cinema of peter greenaway. with double bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there and beats that recollect the warm jazz influenced soul of oldschool hip-hop the 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. you can listen to it attentive. or you can just play it in the back while doing whatever you like to do. it is recommended to play “flamingo” in a decent amount of volume as all loungey tracks begin to live bigger and brighter with sound intensity. if you play it flashy you will experience an atmospheric sometimes light-flooded, sometimes foggy 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls to fill the room between the notes with their very own milky fancy. soon the album will be accompanied by a bunch of remixes tuned in and twisted by producers like giegling and white artists edward, christian s of the cómeme tribe, canadian producer the mole and the german post rock and electronic music band to rococo rot.

long-time techno protagonist and figure mainstay johannes heil returns with a new 4-track package under his cryptik pseudonym. continuing the focus on a more leftfield, experimental sound, cryptik emerses the listener into a soundtrack world of rich sound, depth of field and versatile, changeable moods. by no means a simple club record, all four tracks offer subtle and rich musical content, each telling a story with beautiful melancholic melodies and rushes of endorphins. from elongated 10 minute journeys into the more reflective zones of heils techno world, snaking and building, showing off all the skills he collected over his 20 years-plus career at the top of his artform, crypik is a dance on the senses. from the cinematic elegance of >the gate<, or the bleep-laden epic of >radiance<, to the post-house piano led drama of >messenger< or the heavyweight synth swarms of >belief<, the ep is full of passion and life, capturing truly magic moments.

berlin-based roundqubemusik welcomes cristopher ledger (the code studio, berlin) with seventh orphism ep which includes three original tracks plus a remix from gabriele carasco & francesco passantino. judging by the vastly different set of sounds used here, from the elegance of the piano to the hypnotism and abstractism of the synths mostly due to experiments with modular synthesis. seventh orphism is an ep which marks out ledger as a very good artist to watch out for.

dj spider, dj qu and joey anderson collaborator dakini9 is back on new york’s plan b recordings with a hot solo ep, and the girl means business. four tracks of raw, gritty house music from the street: “find myself” features danny watts on the vocals and a wavey, dubbed-out collection of sounds, “wali” is similarly contorted and grey-scaled albeit for the lonesome piano keys travelling across the arrangement. over on the b-side there’s the head-nodder that is “potentiation”, a punchy and direct dub-house chugger, and the stumbling groove of “strawman”, the oddest and most daring of the four cuts.

fumiya tanaka s double-tracker >beautiful town< was fully inspired by its cover artwork: a set of carefully selected old pictures with a layer of masterful signature paintings by romanian artist and fine-arts student bonjour bonsoir. a-sides >abacus avenue< is the ep’s most dense and eerie side. an addictive piece that utterly succeeds in sucking you right in like a vortex would. the locomotive bassline serves its purpose of movement in a strong loopy groove, while the pads and poltergeist y sounds reformat our heads with an inability for space-time tracking. the otherside of this town, >himegami marathon<, is another mysteriously intricate work. its a microcosm of grooves, sinister details and voices locked in a tight groove built on a single bass stab and a flowing, never-ending set of wet claps. a piano kicks in at key points, alongside percussive elements, reminding us that this town is alive.

*uk treatment* kicks and thumps in all the right places, with a stuttering synth stab loop and vocals giving it some serious peak time currency. *spleen* is all sludgy, skittering mpc business, while *rules* goes off-key chicago and *total recall 2084* swims around, pestered in the mud until a lonely, droning piano key scares away the flanged swarm of wasps and noise.
