the galleria is a new project from morgan geist (storm queen, metro area) that ripples with echoes of the indigenous music of long-gone new jersey malls and nyc radio stations: bombastic freestyle, club dubs, razor-edits and bubblegum-pop r&b.

vinyl sampler 1 of a comprehensive journey in the essence of chicago house music, featuring forgotten gems, future classics, highly sort after originals and obscure edits...
this is how it started focuses heavily on the early days of the chicago sound, especially in the formative years at ron hardy s music box.
following chicago s disco demolition night in 1979 the genre s popularity fell dramatically, hence fewer disco records being released.in this era chicago s djs such as hot mix 5, hardy, knuckles & jesse saunders played a variety of styles mixing in italo, electronic pop music, electro-funk and older disco joints often playing their own edits which focusing on the portions of the songs which always rocked the dancefloor. at the end of 1982, when dj frankie knuckles left the warehouse to open the power plant, ron hardy started to dj at the warehouse s new location until owner robert williams renamed it the music box. in 1984, a local label released a 12-inch single called -on and on- by locals jesse saunders & vince lawrence who had simple made the song in order to replace a record which had been stolen from saunders collection, the -on & on- bootleg disco megamix by mach. hence chicago house music was born and a modern day phenomenon followed.

electronic emergencies is proud to introduce ceci n est pas, a synth wave project from new york consisting of nico nightingale, pierre klein and jorge socarras. nico nightingale is the man behind neud photo and earlier worked with pierre klein as neud. jorge socarras was singer with synth maestro patrick cowley in the 70s duo catholic, and with 80s cult band indoor life. together, they started ceci n est pas in 2014, and this 7 inch -the last time- is their first release. the title track on the a-side is an irrestisibly melancholic and romantic synth wave pop song, while b-side -the stranger- has a mysterious and yearning feel.

on his second installment for holger, weber further expands the sounds and themes introduced on his debut eins (holger 4, 2014). adequately entitled zwei, it documents webers development and growing confidence as an artist. combining influences from early krautrock and minimal music to contemporary dance sounds, weber shows a refreshing appetite for experimentation and free form song structures. given these parameters anything seems possible: from the post-techno of sklt via the anti-pop of the bug to the spaced out b1 / warten and its ghostly dub companion no4

mittlerweile ist es bereits sechs jahre her, dass nosaj thing (auch bekannt als produzent jason chung) das erste mal im dunstkreis der low-end-theory produzenten garde aus los angeles aufgetaucht ist. nach dem futuristischen debüt *drift* und dem ersten album für innovative leisure, *home* (2013), erscheint mit *fated* nun ein album, bei dem der sound zeit hatte zu reifen. indem er alles hat wegfallen lassen, was er nicht als wichtig erachtete, hat chung einen sound mit bemerkenswerter direktheit und emotionalem potenzial geschaffen. dennoch: passend für einen künstler, der bereits charlotte gainsbourg und the xx geremixt, mit toro y moi und kendrick lamar zusammengearbeitet hat und mit james blake auf tour gegangen ist, lässt sich nosaj thing nicht so einfach einordnen. es ist nicht ganz klar, was *fated* ist: mal idm, hip hop, ambient und dann wiederum pop. was aber klar ist: wie weit nosaj thing bereits gekommen ist ...

after the last lessizmore release found san proper and maayan nidam crossing swords for the simmering, jammed-out tones of it was a night like this, now the label turns to another close ally for a slice of discerning, upfront house music. louis mcguire lives many different lives in music, from drumming with indie pop outfit ballet school to playing bass for lo-fi electronica group the waves & us. now though his own solo productions are being noticed in the house and techno world, with this new ep following on from a well-received debut on supply records. the diversity of mcguire’s musical leanings feeds into his distinctive sound, as his own take on stripped down, sensual house music bristles with unconventional energy to make for an unforgettable experience that steps up to the most creative frontiers of dance music. live drum sounds rattle around the mix free from quantized safety, while the melodic tones come on warm and fuzzy, capturing the hazy romance of a late morning session as much as the early part of the evening. it’s apparent that mcguire’s weapon of choice is the mpc, channeling his love of gritty beats in the grand tradition of point g and j. dilla. you can hear the spirit of the most adventurous micro house pioneers in the quirky funk of light hearted, while Óreitha revels in the transcendental qualities of a sustained groove without even a whisper of monotony. even with these unusual qualities the music is resolutely built for the dancefloor, and that mcguire manages to be so creative and so focused in the same beat is reason enough to keep tabs on this multifarious and unpredictable operator.

electronic music approximately 35 years after bands like kraftwerk opened the magic box. a lot happened since then and it seems all is said, done and invented. however it is almost surprising that new things still pop up here and there when it comes to electronic music production.

harry klein records is back. the first contribution comes from giorgia angiuli. born and raised in the deep south of italy, giorgia is a classic example for a inimitable talent when it s about combining different styles of music. either playing live on stage or recording in the studio – her unconventional manner of reception and rendition, same on stylistic as on technical issues, allows her to create unique moments through her music. in this sense her forthcoming ep, named nebula , is a contribution to the multiple diversity which marks the electronic scene nowadays more than ever. it s taking us on a journey through the facets of heart-warming house, straightforward techno, and the fields of intense and dreamy pop, always reminding us of what s really essential in music.

jetzt auch als 7 inch vinyl erhältlich! wolke 4 ist das erste resultat einer internetbekanntschaft, die großes verspricht. sie kennen sich nicht, der berliner singer/songwriter philipp dittberner und elektro-musiker marv aus hannover. aber sie haben sich oft genug gegenseitig angeklickt, um einen gemeinsamen musikalischen versuch zu starten. was zunächst als remix angedacht war, entwickelt sich schon bald zu etwas ganz eigenständigem. philipp nimmt gitarrenspuren auf, marv legt beats darunter, philipp schreibt den text und singt die ersten strophen ein. bei jedem hin- und herschicken reift der song weiter, bis es schließlich vollbracht ist, noch bevor sich die beiden musiker zum ersten mal persönlich treffen. -wolke 4- ist ein amüsant nüchternes liebeslied, das elektronische elemente, western, pop und singer-songwriter gelungen miteinander verbindet und sich durch seine heitere gelassenheit in kopf und körper festsetzt. und im internet geht es dann auch weiter...

bristol s kamikaze space programme joins the trust family with a blistering ep of industrial bass music. stokes croft opens with none other than prolific ninja tune artist emika as a guest, whose haunting vocals turn choke into an ear-catching hybrid of industrial bass electro and gothic pop. three percussive bangers further elaborate chris jarmans philosophy of crafting hard-edged beats from found and self-recorded sounds rather than worn and tired presets, head-strong, futuristic, and ready to obliterate stylistic stagnation with sonic innovation

with iyewaye, the first solo-ep after the release of his fifth album i am ok last year, oliver koletzki shows himself in a new, but not altogether unfamiliar light: since his breakthrough in 2005 with der mückenschwarm koletzki hasnt sounded this hard. gone is the pop-angle, replaced by a dark sound-aesthetic and raw energy. but even here, in the techno realm, oliver koletzki demonstrates his inimitable sense for melody: thus, the gloomy and driving framework of iyewaye is lit up by a crystal-clear synth-sequence. similarly, ipuza, which hypnotizes by way of reduction and repetition, is funky in its core thanks to a rolling tribal groove. functional, but with heart and soul.

the new sagat is truly emotional: the drums are neat and the sounds are warm. tight groovy rhythms travelling within layers of the deepest dark dub without sounding evident or tried. familiar but new. precise funk made of techno frequencies. reverb and delays that bring butter to your ears: melting the earth onto your body. *melt* is a body: it has a rhythmic pattern and synths that pop up like a breathing living organism. *earth* is the landscape: you can visualize it. *organs* is your brain thinking about a better dance world and *body* is what is left to dance in the way old gescom vynils used to.

remastered 180gr vinyl of this 1973 release that is considered to be one of the best pop albums in music history.

seit der begründung zur jahrtausendwende war pop ambient immer eine herzensangelegenheit: sorgfältig kuratiert von wolfgang voigt, zeigten diese veröffentlichungen nie ein sonderliches interesse am tagesgeschmack. eher genredefinierend als trendsetzend, folgten sie ihrem eigenen weg und etablierten eine einzigartige Ästhetik irgendwo zwischen experimentellen field recordings, no-age musik und geschmeidigem synthie-pop - wir nennen es auch gerne fahrstuhlmusik für vertikalverweigerer.

limited 2015 repress !!
born in stuttgart in 1987, grew up with hip hop music, high school in fine arts, study of aviation and space technology, teacher of drums and percussion, active as a drummer in a classical orchestra, co-founder and artworker of the renowned common sense people event series & resident dj at the club rocker 33 in stuttgart, music repertoire includes hip hop, pop, indiependent, folk, classical and electronic music. his musical design can be best described as opposites attract with attention to the everlasting basic principle: as little as possible, as much as necessary or better: if no girl is dancing, i have made something wrong!

san francisco-based dj/producer nick monaco has long been part of the soul clap family, releasing his first 12- on the label back in 2012. mating call, a double 12- set running at album length, is easily his most expansive release yet. it s typically eccentric, delivering a range of songs - featuring his own distinctive vocals - that blend numerous styles whilst retaining a loose, funky and altogether rather kaleidoscopic feel. it s rooted in balearic pop, but also touches on dub, deep house, boogie, dub disco and a strangely deep and contemporary take on the triple-beat rhythms of glam rock. it s hard to accurately describe, but is really rather good, certainly, it s one of soul clap s strongest releases of recent times.

the km editions series, admirably helmed by the mysterious keyboard masher, has always been one of the more interesting re-edit/rework labels. past installments have touched on krautrock, disco, balearica, funk, italo and what can only be described as electronic oddities. this sixth volume offers up three more impressively remixed, overdubbed and reedited gems. theres naturally much to admire, not least the omd style woozy synth-pop of stolen shapes (stealing rework), which should tickle the fancy of anyone of a balearic disposition. the same can be said about the immersive, sun-kissed pianos and shuffling grooves of -astral playground. there s also a chunk of silly but, perversely, rather good french cod-reggae in the shape of le cod-, arguably our pick of a strong bunch.
