lo-fi größe matt jones veröffentlicht erstes crescent album nach zehnjähriger pause! wenn musiker wie die indie-größe matt jones eine zehnjährige pause zwischen der veröffentlichung zweier alben einlegt, dann ist das ein qualitätssiegel! Ähnlich seiner bristoler fachkollegen flying saucer attack oder movietone arbeitet er nur dann an neuem material, wenn er es für richtig und wichtig hält. dieses selbstbewusstsein ist jedem ton der neun songs auf -resin pockets- anzuhören, dem ersten album seit der crescent-veröffentlichung -little waves-. es ist ein album geworden, das sich sein eigenes plätzchen im britischen outsider lo-fi-pop schafft. eine zusätzliche prise des anti-folk-feelings macht aus resin pockets ein werk voller zeitloser melodien, bewegender texte und einem ganz besonderen gefühl sommerlicher intimität.

since the release of their debut single in 2010, brightons :kinema: have seen themselves compared by the likes of the guardian and dummy to everyone from hot chip and phoenix, through to scritti politti and even wham! now after a series of sold out shows honing their sound they release >my beautiful machines<, the highlight of their live sets and the cause of many a stage invasion. sophisticated, soulful pop music with a sharp indie edge, this is an ep from a band on the cusp of stardom that has already earned plays on both radio 1 and xfm. taking the track to a whole new disco level are the remixes from swedens drop out orchestra which turn machines into an insanely funky 12 minute long live disco workout that has featured heavily in the sets of djs like tronik youth and justin robertson.

following the solid gold pop smash that was their debut 7 inch >circles<, south coast soul boys :kinema: return with their biggest and best song to date, >my beautiful machines<, a joyously upbeat love song to their synthesizers.
if the original of :kinema:s >my beautiful machines< is straight up classic pop then the remixes courtesy of swedens drop out orchestra, take the track off into disco heaven.

verdant recordings continues its quest to provide a space for lesser-known artists exploring the deepest pockets of electronic music, not least around the 4/4 axis. next up on the label is the first public appearance from interjection, a london-based artist who has been cooking up an immersive sound for some time. her blissful solitude is a smoky deep house cut that drifts through heavy clouds of pads, while common places drops some brittle electro rhythms into the mix without lifting the veil of ambience. radiating soul has an equally intricate set of rhythms at work, with extra notes of 303 sprinkled over the top, and her nocturnal note finishes the ep off with a shimmering trip out to complement the a1.

next up on francis harris exceptional imprint scissor & thread comes a collaboration with american producer, dj aakmael. aakmael has built a reputation for some of the deepest, rawest house music sounds coming out of the states, releasing well-received tracks on the likes of freerange records, release sustain, kolour dogmatik and ndatl. returning to scissor & thread, aakmael and label boss harris cook up an intoxicating vibe across this 5 track ep. each shares a track and work together on the fifth, while also remixing each others solo cuts. first up aakmaels deep muzik- a quintessential nod to its self-proclaimed mission statement. skittering drums, a shuffling groove, deep keys, and chords make up this essential opener. franks (aka francis harris) all that light mix shows another side, finding pockets of space and developing the fizzing percussion to produce an equally affecting piece of dancefloor bliss. sharing production duties from the outset on mercy of means, the guys slip into an easy mid-tempo groove with plenty of depth - the rhythm rolls along and offers the perfect basis for some sublime melodic touches. franks part song also hones in on the subtle deep grooves. bumping, slightly filtered and saturated drums provide the main body, with beautiful washes and keys finding their way through, aakmaels remix beefs up the groove somewhat, making the snares snap harder and kick hit a little stronger, but the essence of the tracks melodic atmosphere remains perfectly in place.

following two sought after, sold out 45s on the label, kevin hendrick’s m i d d e x project releases it’s debut lp for mid-february and right from the off this is no everyday minimal synth project. 10 brutally sharp, icily industrial, analogue synth blasts which tip their hat to those hugely influential days in the late 70s where across the uk, tiny pockets of forward thinking, electronic experimentalists were creating groundbreaking, analogue electronic music, under the radar from almost all, unknowing at the time of course about their impact even to this day. limited edition of 300 numbered copies.

following some ear-catching manoeuvres across releases like last year s self-released only and lagata , which gained her early fans like bjork and dev hynes (who she supported in the usa), tommy marks klein s deepest plunge yet into the “deep, dark ocean” of her musical imagination on her hyperdub debut. on tommy her vocals play with fifties-esque melodies before switching to familiar tones akin to brandy and rodney jerkins, her live voice and live piano playing filtered through hyper-glitchy and looped production with a loose, internal logic, cutting from angular atonality to pockets of skewered harmony. tommy also steps things up in conceptual terms. its eight tracks are broken down into acts that are rooted in themes of vulnerability, sisterhood and death, threading the chaotic sonics with modern operatic undertones and a shakespearean sense of tragedy. there s a lot of bluster about originality in contemporary uk music and what rises from the noise here is a creative voice who, by her very nature, plays with the construct of what pop is

jad & the sends off the ladyboy (fka jad & the ladyboy) and has a going away party to celebrate. the party starts off with some sad cries (it’s always sad saying goodbye), then the yeah band starts playing to take peoples minds off their sadness, after their afrocentric set the guy who always has the discogs window open and 7 inch adapters in his pockets jumps up and plays a disco dancefloor tool designed to tease but please. now that everyone s warmed up and ready for it, the next dj drops some underground real shit which even gets a nod from the high brow dj squad in the corner. the twelve people there lose their shit. great night had by all.

nach ihrem famosen debütalbum vor zwei jahren tourten die banditos eifrig durch die usa und erspielten sich eine loyale fanbase. mitte juni erscheint nun endlich das langerwartete zweite studioalbum der sechsköpfigen band aus birmingham/nashville. aufgenommen in den legendären plum creek sound studios in austin, texas klingt ihr neues werk wie eine moderne -southern-born- version zwischen the band, janis joplin und den stooges. musikalisch bewegt sich -visionland- zwischen dreckigem punk-garagen-soul bis hin zu surf- und psychedelischen southern-rock songs. fans von zz top oder den stooges und janis joplin sollten -visionland- unbedingt auschecken. - “it’s a roller coaster, alright, but one running off the rails. banditos hop on for the ride, with a few psychedelics in their back pockets to help ensure a more vibrant trip.” - rolling ston

paulino vieira, bana, and their legendary troupe, voz de cabo verde, made lisbon the headquarters spearheading the musical revolution taking place within cape verdean emigre communities across europe in the 1980s. musicians from across the diaspora would eagerly travel to the portuguese capital to record. but in smaller pockets, second-generation krioulu musicians were independently contributing to one of the most lush periods of cultural innovation by immigrants in europe. in 1986, a group of nine teenagers — antonio monteiro, ambrosio gomes, emilio borges, fefa cabral, to pereira, pedro varela, celeste monteiro, clarisse, germano shares — formed the largely unknown, often overlooked, but consistently brilliant band, pilon. combining traditional funana rhythms and the hybrid colazouk style with psychedelic synth work and rugged guitar ostinatos, pilon refined their sound for years until releasing these recordings as part of their debut album, tradicao, in 1993, with a tight-knit unit of just five remaining members. the band is still a popular mainstay for parties in the cape verdean circles of frankfurt, paris, lyon, marseille, rotterdam, and geneva.

vent is revisited by an old friend, bringing visions and prophecies of times to come. arbiter’s message is bleak and machinistic, telling of a future where objects and subjects lose their boundaries and entangle. pockets of resistance will never give in to the oppressive powers that be, and will dance to the never ending percussive rhythms and melodies they worship. the revolution is not in sight for them, but never forgotten.
