repress - brainwaltzeras debut lp poly-ana follows quickly on the heels of the producers aescoba ep also released this year via film. across thirteen tracks of both previously released material and fresh excursions into the artists world, brainwaltzera explores sounds ranging from luscious, downtempo grooves and expertly reduced braindance cuts with nods to early 90’s experimental idm to harder, more caustic outings all bound together by a recurring theme of otherworldly ambience. taking its name from a variety of sources dear to the artist, including polyphonic analogue synthesizers and the pol-lyanna principle itself a theory that suggests individuals recall pleasurable experience more acutely than displeasing ones the title represents a meeting point in the artistic process between creative method and conceptual choices. production techniques range from more traditional hardware synthesis to the incorporation of a modified dot matrix printer acting as a modulation source for midi parameters. sample sources include vhs material from the produ-cer’s own childhood and ambient bullet train samples from an on-the-fly production session traveling from tokyo to kyoto. according to the enigmatic producer, memory and its fundamental role in the human experience is one of the central themes of the record. while the artists own experiences shaped the sound of the record, there is no attempt to impose them on the listener through blatant exposition.

there is a sense of urgency increasingly infecting the human condition, fragmenting our attention span, accelerating our needs and often influencing our motives when making creative decisions. the result is a lack of dynamics, there is no ebb or flow, its “go” time, all the time. electronic music is one of the clearest examples of a widening division between great art created in a deeply imaginative vaccum and the soulessly formulaic and branded product that serves the impatient masses. what draws the esp institute to benedikt frey is his ability to operate on the fringe, outside the constructs artists constantly channel themselves into - his art speaks a pure language that is realized by any means necessary, a process devised solely to articulate his own message, one delivered with patience, never rushed nor dictated by the outside world. artificial was written and produced over two years, tirelessly sculpted into a sequence abstract pieces that are fiercely independent but accumulate layers of meaning when collaged. it is electronic and rhythm-based, but never reliant on any prescribed instrumentation, arrangement or expecatation. this is our idea of well conceived and executed album, not simply a collection of tracks but a complex narrative that unfolds over peaks and valleys, pulling the listener into emotional corners before leaving a residual impression. some may describe music very well in words, but there is always something lost in translation - a story only the music itself can tell.

rotur presents daydreaming two / 33 rpm (vinyl only) with mihai pol & robi (ro), ghini-b (fr), andrea caioni (it), fusal (de).

neben der cd und der 2lp+cd mit coverversionen erscheint eine streng limitierte prachtbox, die nicht nur diese, sondern auch bisher unveröffentlichten originalaufnahmen aus den frühen neunziger jahren, sowie einer verspäteten extended version, die die band selbst noch einmal eingespielt hat enthält. neben den coverversionen, die ja eigentlich alle die zeitlosigkeit der sterne zelebrieren, findet sich in dem in jeglicher hinsicht hochwertigen lp-boxset (gestaltet von yannick riemer von isolation berlin) dann noch etwas, das wohl doch als relikt bezeichnet werden kann. zwei demos der sterne, kleine schritte stolpern und sturm über der hallig, zeigen auf 7-inch-vinyl eine frühe version der band, ganz im charme ihrer hanseatischen jugendlichkeit (1991). die sterne selbst und erobique, sowie pollyester auf der flip, markieren auf einer ebenfalls beiliegenden disco-12-inch das andere ende des zeitstrahls (2016). so werden die beigaben plötzlich zur klammer eines kleinen universums, in dem sich aufzeigt, dass musik am schönsten ist, wenn sie nach 25 jahren bandgeschichte noch immer zwischen lustvoller virtuosität und dem charme des dilettantismus zu pendeln vermag, bringt es hendrik otremba, sänger der band messer im info zum album auf den punkt.

second chapter of basse resolution imprint delivered by italian producer rufus, a&r for bosconi records and also part of nightdrivers. 3 original cuts featured with a remix from parisian new talent leo pol.

following a slew of acclaimed remixes for the likes of andhim, sailor & i, dj dozia and sebastian mullaert and a one-off single with joran van pol, voorn returns with a pair of stunning new tracks for his green imprint.

velvet records proudly presents « v003 », a four-tracks long overview and celebration of the contemporary electronic music scene. together, the artists featured on the french label s first compilation present an audacious look at the depth and span of the scene while also moving the form forward into bold new shapes. touching on expansive deep techno and minimal house, this compilation is made up off exclusively produced and previously unreleased music from ekomine, yaroslav lenzyak, leopol and damien k. sahri, capturing the essence of the current chapter of these genres, hinting at the shape of those to come. french producer ekomine is the first to hit the road with « ramble », a solid sweet-sour blend of atmospheric sounds leading the listener to find himself gently trapped into an unpredictable deep-space diving journey. this is where ukrainian artist yaroslav lenzyak and acolyte rata come in with « cellar door ». no constellations here, but the substantive claustrophobic tale of a spectral entity slowly catching your doppelgänger in the twilight hours. an angel flies and we re suddenly entering the sensitive world of « joy misery » from parisian early analog machines enthusiast leopol, who invites wandering souls to a dance-oriented and delicate voodoo ritual before passing the torch to berlin-based producer damien k. sahri s « travel marvel » which confers the record a multi-ethnic dimension, kindly whiplashing bodies with a mixture of unavoidable pulsations.

following toju kaes critically acclaimed debut *villa/11 rooms*, the young vienna-based producer offers us with his new album *unfold* an outstanding collection of tracks that contrary to the detail-loving beautifully arranged first output shows a distinct rougher and downscaled side of his music. ranging between the sticky crowded dancefloor and the safe haven of ambient roots it hints at, the album, released through swiss label neopren records, still unfolds its own room of both subtlety and drive as well as a much-needed sense of buoyancy and a certain impression of forward movement. with a new and unexpected feeling for roughness and spontaneity and some great avant-garde moments (buscheli), unfold is a marked progression, both in terms of composing and producing, in the career of the artist.

2015 kicks off with carefully compiled va suitable for different situations. all together makes it a solid international selection with variety of styles represented by each artist .........

the 23-year old vienna-based florentin berger-monit aka toju kae is well known for his intense, hypnotising ambient sound with melancholic undertones.

having its operations equally spread in poland and uk, soundbar 005 theres something about you is a collaboration between warsaws mia twin, a dj/producer and event promoter and her frequent music partner kasp, which is also a skilful jazz musician and one half of the pol-on duo.

>bridging the gap between the old & the new, the minimal & the maximal, minmax represents a widening of scope as we explore the area between the sounds of classic minus & plus 8. as others subdivide and categorize we bring things back together, opening things up more freely and allow a closer connection to the music that i love and the sounds & textures that many of my dj sets journey through.< richie hawtin

omega male could conceivably be described as a supergroup, a transatlantic duo featuring david best of brighton minimalist kraut-funk outfit fujiya & miyagi and sammy rubin of brooklyns digital rock band project jenny, project jan. the combination is an inspired one – laptop sex music played by two white dudes.

we are once again, extremely proud to welcome two further additions into the upon you league of gentlemen! franco cazzola and titta ! cazzola runs the label carnival records in his home country, hes also currently releasing on material records and has even had his name appear on sven väths infamous cocoon compilation. his track >vita brevis< is his spicy offering for the upon you sweet & sour series and has two kicking remixes to boot. one is from our polish friend pol on and the second one comes from our very own dutch regular onno. the results are definitely hot dogging around the funky house island but with each artist showing us some pretty tricky manoeuvres too

man/machine: viennas elektro guzzi challenge the meaning of live in electronic music. bored of laptop sets? with a classic setup of guitar, bass and drums elektro guzzi quantize themselves to an unheard level of discipline, tightness and danceability. no computers, no pre-recorded loops, no solos. probably the first time techno is really played live. as sequential as they may sound, they couldnt be more analogue. but however traditional they may look as a band, they certainly do not sound like one. the quest for the ultimate live presentation of techno has come to an end.

sex tags mania with more leftfield dance music... the label just does what they feel and that goes from crazy nordic afro funk (see recent sex tags amfibia release) to intens house tracks, uptempo techno or just raw low-key tracks like this one. they have at least one major fan called omar s who loves the label!

der weg ist das ziel: die norwegerin schwelgt in majestaetischer melancholie.

again the tracks were selected carefully, each of them strong on personality and waiting to burst out and put the willies up anyone who believes that techno can be pigeonholed. cue bjorn svin (of mand over board fame) and a brooding monster of a tune that briefly saw a release on his excellent 1999 lp benene pa nakken and was included on the la monde (aka len fakis) at the wheels of steel mix cd the following year. believe that this track is a killer one of those inspired pieces of techno that sticks in your head for days after hearing it for the first time next up label boss jerome hill lets his bass out in the comedic rel und pol, a dancefloor workout with a syncopated speech running throughout. flip over for rob stow and im going to kill her put simply this is nasty (in a nice way) a riff that tears you a new one and edits and tricks galore, this ones gonna give the speakers a battering! last but certainly not least, switzerlands ki yota from mercurochrome and mental industries steps up to deliver us an apocalyptic anthem with wowwow bass, that swiss percussion and lead riffs all snaking around, finally building to a satisfying climax over and out
