pressed on 180gr vinyl... phonica records inaugurate a new series of releases that will fall under the special editions banner. a series that will feature collaborations, one-off releases and anything that doesnt fit into the main labels outlook. the first release comes from sinkane, a hotly tipped new artist from ny. sinkane is the project of sudanese-born musician ahmed gallab. gallab cut his own teeth as a youngster in the punk diy landscape of middle america, and then found himself touring far and wide as a member of yeasayer, caribou, eleanor friedberger, born ruffians, and of montreal. he has emerged from it all as sinkane, a project that identifies a renaissance within the space and spirit of the outposts of contemporary music. with an aesthetic range seamlessly shifting from soul to rock, and from jazz to pop, sinkanes vibe is timeless and the sound is now. runnin is a song taken from a collection of songs simply titled mars. on this limited edition 12 from londons phonica records, the album version of runnin is re-imagined as an increasingly dense longburn club jam by daphni (dan snaith of caribou fame) and as a more angular headjam by chandeliers of chicago

a crossover between pop, house/techno and new wave is the dress of the fourth wwr 004 chapter. we think is useless to say anything about the new release of the duo altarboy. fortunatelly in music matters what do you feel, not what we say. listen is the best way to tell if you like it. we like it very much!

perception productions, a new york based label that ran from the late 60s through until 1974, was a strangely eclectic affair. its roster stretched from a radical afro-american poet through to the pop band king harvest whose hit ‘dancing in the moonlight’ became a massive hit for the uk band toploader a couple of decades later. the inbetween points covered jazz, funk, vocal harmony soul and proto-disco.

the constant carousel like shift of unreleased tracks on his soundcloud and sporadic twitter sessions, south london ordnance relishes his clandestine, shady persona, keen to allow his craft to act as spokesman instead. following early support from electronic musics matriarch mary anne hobbs, a marauding mixtape for glasgows luckyme earlier this year and big support from mosca, hackman, dark sky and tessela, the amount of hype surrounding this south london (obviously) based beatsmith has been ridiculous. and we are very pleased to say this is his debut release, and a killer 12 inch to pop his recording cherry!

nach vier jahren im studio, in denen sie ihren perfektionismus und ihre liebe zum detail bis aufs Äußerte zelebriert haben, veröffentlichen blek le roc nun ihr gleichnamiges debüt-album. das indie-pop-trio überrascht den zuhörer mit einem filigranen und doch satten sound, der so ungewöhnlich wie fesselnd ist. ihre musik ist keinem schema verhaftet. beinahe schüchtern fasst sie den zuhörer mit dem ersten ton, umklammert ihn immer fester und lässt ihn in andächtiger stille wieder warten. ohne pathos. die songs erzählen geschichten des scheiterns, des fragens, des wartens. sie sind offen für die interpretationen der hörer. alles ist mehrdeutig. scheitern kann hier auch aufbruch bedeuten. ist warten nicht gleichzeitig veränderung? es gibt keine klarheit …

following up on his 2010 madhouse pop gem >someone out there<, aka jk (a.k.a. jonathan kreinik, new york producer extraordinaire and long-time live sound engineer for the rapture) returns to throne of blood with >2600 2600<, the title of which may or may not reference a famous analog synthesizer. an appropriate title, as synthesizers indeed abound from the start, flooding the low-end with disorienting deep analog washes before the utterly-infectious vocal enters and the party kicks off in earnest.

nach 500 auftritten in 30 ländern und 50.000 verkauften alben binnen vier jahren, alles in klassischer diy-manier, veröffentlichen das aus mathieu phil jourdain am schlagzeug und backgroundgesangs-mikrofon sowie leadsänger und gitarrist laurent malcom lacrouts bestehende duo the inspector cluzo ihr drittes album >the two mousquetaires< am 12. april 2012 als lp mit comicbook auf ihrem eigenen label fuck the bass player records.

als im sommer 2008 philipp poisels erste single >wo fängt dein himmel an< erschien, der das gleichnamige debütalbum im herbst folgen sollte, wusste man zwar, wo sein himmel anfängt, aber kaum einer konnte ahnen, bis wohin sich dieser erstrecken würde. heute, vier jahre, zwei goldalben und einige ausverkaufte tourneen später, weiss man, dass philipps himmel bis nach toulouse und noch viel weiter reicht. der junge mann zählt länngst zur ersten liga der neuen deutschen pop-poeten. sein name steht für qualität, authenzität und eine umwerfende poesie, oder wie es rea garvey jüngst in der sendung voice of germany ausdrückte: >philipp poisels lieder sind eine waffe.< pünktlich zum start seines >projekt seerosenteich<, einer konzertreise durch kleinere bestuhlte säle mit persönlicher atmosphäre, erscheint nun die vinylversion seines debütalbums mit beigelegter cd-version.

nice price deal !!! real name dan griober, dan habarnam has been active since the 90s, doing production for romanian pop artists while also working on his own projects. his solo catalog is pretty slim, with just a few appearances on drum & bass labels like santorin and subtle audio, but from the known is clearly the work of an experienced artist: though loosely anchored in techno, ambient and bass music, its stylistically open-ended, and produced with an audiophiles attention to detail. according to the label, groibers meticulousness extended to the mastering process as well (the cd, for instance, was recorded direct from the vinyl to achieve that special analog feel)

der 24-jährige kwes hat bereits jede menge erfahrungen im musikbiz gesammelt. so produzierte er die kritikerlieblinge speech debelle und dels, arbeitete mit micachu, ghostpoet und the xx zusammen, sowie mit damon albarn an dessen projekt drc music, dank dessen er in berührung mit warp kam. diese zeigten sich von kwes talent begeistert und boten ihm direkt einen eigenen künstlervertrag an. meantime ist kwes erste ep mit dem maintrack bashful, einem elektronischen disco-shuffle mit akribischer melodieführung und sprengseln aus soul, r&b und house, die seine idee von free pop perfekt demonstriert: populärmusik, die keine grenzen kennt, der exzentrik nicht ausweicht, ideenreichtum jeglicher vergangener regel vorzieht, bzw. einfach verspricht, dass wir von diesem jungen mann noch sehr viel aufregendes und neues hören werden!

nice price deal !!! no mortal lips are worthy of this kiss is perhaps not your typical song lyric, especially not when you think of the current crop of electronic pop stars. usually love, or anything remotely carnal, takes place in a club or on the floor or in the near vicinity of a dj booth.

nice price deal !!! arclight drop the incredible holographic ep. via jacques greenes label vase. heralding from london, arclight caught massive attention via leaking songs on youtube and their incredible take on electronic music. the holographic ep starts with the glorious a side vitamin d. starting with sun soaked chords sparkling beside ethereal vocals it slowly builds in texture & pace until finally climaxing into holographic. the title track is just as memorizing as its predecessor with much more driven base of percussion and hypnotic chanting cascading into the realm of the night / club. b-side purple city is a tale of vice and virtue, sitting somewhere between panda bear, bjork and radiohead - arclight are making some of the most interesting pop music around. dj support from optimo, mary anne hobbs, gilles peterson and james murphy

in 2006, hip-hop was turned on its head by the arrival of chicagos kenny dennis, a proudly married, mustachioed and middle-aged rapper repping no-nonsense lyrics and a salt-of-the-earth swagger. this unlikely hero delivered a handful of classics via the album, dennehy, and then disappeared. but in 2011, kennys cult of fans were given a gift: the long-lost 1993 lp theres a situation on the homefront from his theretofore unheard boom-bap crew tha grimm teachaz. (kenny was then known as kdz, tha killa deacon. the group was briefly signed to jive records.) as it turned out, that gift was twofold. inspired by the anticon-backed release of that unearthed gem, kenny has teamed up with producers jel and odd nosdam to make a brand new record, a reintroduction of sorts, dubbed the kenny dennis ep.

verspielter minimaler techhouse pop mit sinn für tiefe & party!

highly anticipated since their first ep, 51 ways to leave your lover, broke its way into the hearts of all who heard it, tristesse contemporaine has perfected this magic by taking it all the way to the parisian and french stages. crystalline arpeggios, dreamy loops and whispered vocals creating a world of destabilizing and refined emotions which carry a thrilling light to the darkened dancefloors. the trio of enigmatic donkey masked singer, maik, leo on guitars and narumi on synthesizers, trusted their minimalist melodies to the expert hands of dj / producer, pilooski. romantic and flamboyant, arrogant and haunting, this first album imagines a world in chiaroscuro, where the electrical illuminations of shoegazing merge with electronic beats, with a heightened new wave sensitivity. climb to the dark side of modern pop as you enter the fractured, hypnotic, dance of tristesse contemporaine.

where the river turns black, is the first international album by copenhagenresident and musician katrine ottosen aka call me kat. call me kat are adorably intense and mesmerizing songs, an enchanting melancholic, almost translucent drift into this sonic world best described as alternative pop, music that gives spoken word of the ever expanding danish music scene of now. songs that adapt a fine line between organic instrumentation and that very specific sound of her voice, which although completely its own tends to remind at times on other playful ladies in music like bjørk, feist oder lykke li.earlier works with reknown producers valgeir sigurdsson (bjørk, mum, sigur rós etc.) or joe magistro (prophet omega) on the current album have certainly had their share on this.

a symbiosis of two perfectionists who would like to surprise with something new and got lost in the deep widenesses of techno. now, zdenko grbavac and morgenklang let it come true and release their first record in common. the two tracks are technoid, impulsive and surprising at the same time. >epos< comes out on top at the middle distinctivly. the tracks baseline is remindful of the early 80s synth-pop and sounds in combination with the remaining parts like an unstoppable train. the track >novum< is a monster of chord and pushes relentlessly. however the athmosphere creates a certain easiness and moves the audience in a dreamy state.

oha, neues vom diggler! der reisende zwischen pop, dubtechno und house schüttelt aufs neue einen so locker und leicht klingenden geniestreich aus dem Ärmel, als würde seine für mindestens vier technoproduzentenleben ausreichende ideenflut wirklich niemals versiegen. hat der mann einen bund mit dem technogöttern geschlossen? oder seine verknarzte seele verkauft? oder einfach nur sagenhaft viele möglichkeiten, sich immer wieder neu zu erfinden?

never ones to stand still dons rainbow marks a quantum leap for seahawks, the first release on new label ocean moon and the first recording from the invisible sunrise sessions. invisible sunrise is the forthcoming album from seahawks and the first to be recorded with live musicians rather than a hard drive full of dusty old samples. the results are stunningly original, not least on this track with new york head autre ne veut. anvs debut album last year on olde english spelling bee was an incredible rush of warped r&b, 80s synths, amazing songs and what has to be one of the most innovative voices to emerge in the last 5 years. since then hes released a great ep on hippos in tanks, played some mind bending live shows and guested on the ford & lopatin album. dons rainbow sounds like michael mcdonalds sweet freedom crossed with nite flight era walker brothers. a fantastic piece of hazy avant pop with jan hammer pulse wave synths, yah mo b there drums and fuzz drenched spirals of soprano sax and guitar colliding with the sound of soul from outer space. on the flip the dub takes the track into a world of shadows, where smeared washes of sound swim in an ocean of decay. as always with seahawks releases the packaging is beautiful. heavyweight vinyl in a full colour sleeve, with full colour labels. the last seahawks release sold out in days, we expect this one to do the same, so get your skates on!

the second format b album is booked as a big success. as a consequence the big round of remixes has been called out to which the friends from the house of formatik have been invited to. sébastien léger attacks >atomizer< with a cumulative bang like a horde of sedulous ants which are anxious to nibble on the already major sound-board to the total peak-time inferno. big-time! the intro track not only is being picked up by andhim who made out of the chill-out peace a capital dance-floor floater, also super flu casted the spherical peace for their remix. but not only the melody of >desire< has found application in their >two for one price< remix, the vocals from >liquid< as well nuzzle into the complex produced remix arrangement of the two >hallenser< to endow the hole ep the pop-crown.
