fadi mohem &#769,,,s interest in electronic music began to rise when he first discovered drum and bass at an early age. since then he built up an extensive stylistic portfolio that has no genre boundaries. with the reckless ep, a first excerpt can now be tested out on the dance floor. „we are- and „reckless- on the a-side are uncompromising techno. both pieces are markedly aggressive and captivate with drifting synths and grooving drums. with „on the run- on the flip side, fadi mohem shows his more experimental side carrying broken drum patterns and atmospherical synths. the soundscapes of this thoroughly crafted record will absorb the listener into another dimension. the fact that his debut single simultaneously marks the first catalog number of the new label of berlin event series werk is actually consistent with the same sphere of emerging producers ready to step up and challenge the old guard. the record lays the foundation, both for werk and mohem himsel

sein ruf als einer der produktivsten elektronischen musiker nordamerikas eilt john tejada aus guten gründen voraus: einer wäre der stete, seit über zwei jahrzehnten andauernde strom an veröffentlichungen auf legendären underground-labels wie etwa 7th city, plug research, tigersushi, playhouse, areal, pokerflat recordings oder seiner eigenen plattform palette recordings, ein anderer die schiere qualität seines musikalischen outputs. klassische tracks wie “timebomb”, “mono on mono”, “the end of it all” oder “music for doubles” sind zahlreich in seinem hochgeschätzten portfolio vertreten, was einen künstler mit ernsthafter hingabe an die eigene zunft verrät. als mitglied der kompakt-familie seit dem 2011er album “parabolas” hat t ejada weltweit die plattentaschen ambitionierter tanzflurkuratoren mit zwei weiteren kompakt-langspielern (“the predicting machine” in 2012 und “signs under test” in 2015) und einer reihe eps wie etwa “lakewood drive” (2016) gefüllt. vom sorgfältig vermessenen schub des titeltracks ceol zum zackigen roller prelude to madness und aislings impressionistischen, melodischen grooves pflegt auch seine aktuellste 12”einen unbachahmlichen sinn für die balance zwischenden treibendem t echnoschlagwerk und house-synthies, knackiger produktion und hypnotischen texturen. beseelten verträumt

new life tones is the second 12inch of 2016 for call super and heralds another subtle shift in his work. puppet scenes chisels a twitchy, snake-like path between dub and house whilst rejecting the standard templates for the usual melding of those two forms. new life repercussions is a transmission from the undergrowth. a sleek roller that surrenders to something broken and melancholic it represents another achievement in call super s increasingly idiosyncratic melodic portfolio. 12inch cut and mastered by matt colton at alchemy

weval beziehen ihre inspiration nicht aus einem einzelnen musikalischen genre, sondern eher aus einer akkumulation von musik, die sie inspiriert. die ergebnisse zeichnet eine beeindruckend kohärente vision aus, aufnahmen wie das dramatische the battle, der bassknurrer i dont need it oder die trip-saga madness teilen diesselbe dna aus schwungvoller nostalgie, einer schwäche für immersive klangschnitzerei und einer gewissen delle im groove. sie nähren sich auch aus zutiefst persönlichen erfahrungen und stimmungen, wie zum beispiel bei der eindringlichen elektronischen ballade youre mine, dem vorsichtig geschichteten, polaroid-gefärbten just in case oder dem wunderschön gesungenen schlussakt years to build. und manchmal ist es nur ein altes, verstimmtes klavier, das im flur herumsteht: immer wenn ich dran vorbei lief, musste ich darauf herumklimpern, erklärt merijn, also wurde es ein zentraler bestandteil von you made it (part i). kein zweifel: dies ist wevals stärkstes und organischstes material bisher, was durchaus was bedeutet, wenn man das talent bedenkt welches bereits in schmalen, doch gewichtigen portfolio der band steckt.

mit zusammen mehr als 80 eps und lps im portfolio, seit 1995 stets mit grossem enthusiasmus von der fangemeinde aufgenommen, hat techno-koryphäe john tejada bereits einen platz im olymp der elektronischen musik sicher für einen der zu recht meistrespektiertesten produzenten der usa ist das ein produkt von zwei dekaden allumfassender leidenschaft. mit seiner aktuellen lakewood drive ep schliesst der in la ansässige tejada an den erstaunlichen langspieler signs under test (kompakt 321 cd 119) an, den er letztes jahr auf kompakt veröffentlicht hat bereits sein drittes album für das label. das neue material gibt sich robust, aber gelassen, ganz im sinne des energetisch-melodischen minimalismus, für den der künstler bekannt ist. dicht bespielt mit drei könnerhaft ausgeführten tracks, gebietet diese elegant verspielte ep selbstsicher über den tanzflur ein weiterer erfolg für den herren über kurzgeschlossene synthies und funkelnde beats

taking the release-portfolio into account, rampa built over the last years on keinemusik, him adding a new ep to the label s catalogue is worth every credit of trust. and this very “trust” ep is living up to that not only by its name. it certainly offers value for money, considering km-releases have mostly been two-trackers. there are four cuts on this one, each one following a different approach, making it also a hella versatile record.

one of kompakt s most mythical entities, superpitcher has always followed a thoughtful and rarified release policy, rather honing a record until it s perfect (and risking longer periods of time in between outings) than rushing it out, its a release rhythm that suits his idiosyncratic approach to dance music, not so much churning out floor fodder than creating timeless classics on his own terms. as one of our longest-serving artists, he has still managed to build an impressive portfolio, especially if you consider the ratio of iconic tracks per release. it s no wonder, then, that at any given time, a big part of his back catalogue seems to be sold out. five years after the highly acclaimed, award-winning full-length kilimanjaro (kompakt 222 cd 80), it is time to revisit superpitcher s unique body of work with so far so super, an enticing selection of some of his most cherished cuts - acting as our 2016 vinyl offering for this year s record store day, it collects highlights from all stages of his career, the underground club bangers as well as the conceptual album work. from opener jackson (as featured on pop ambient 2012) and early successes like heroin, baby s on fire (from total 4) or total confusion/speicher anthem i walk to signature tracks like happiness or rabbits in a hurry, you ll find lots of magical moments to unearth or rediscover - all in one jam-packed, gorgeously wrapped vinyl release that no serious fan of electronic dance music should miss out on.

iron me debuts on resopal for a grand sonic journey not only to the vibrant heart of the dancefloor. coupling contemporary 4/4 tracks with a bit unusual resopal style breakbeatish-tinged soundscapes and deep deep dub, iron me acts as both a skillfully composed portfolio of personal memories and a sublime collection of charming cuts. his unique mélange of emotional and functional elements works exceptionally well for the full-length format. each cut operates as its own little time capsule, storing bits and pieces of recollection and then magically transforming them into epic, beat-driven soundscapes. red bodden is an album for dancing wildly, relaxing, hoovering the house and losing yourself. a true musical journey.

after running dennis ferrer’s objektivity imprint, touring on the international dj circuit and building an impressive portfolio of remixing credits and collaborative releases over many years, andré hommen is now spreading his wings as a fully-fledged artist.

guy andrews first appeared on pennyroyals parent label hemlock with shades / textures in 2011, two cinematic and reflective uk techno tracks that earned him a loyal student fanbase. he returned to the wavering imprint in 2013 with the pounding tribal thumper resistivity and has since released an ep on leeds based techno label fina because his ex-manager thought it would be good to keep things moving. since then guy has been busy developing a unique career portfolio including composing for film and television, launching a niche specialist winter sports fashion line and lifestyle channel curl goth and more recently founding a peer-to-peer lending co-operative and crypto-currency for exchanging controversial facts surrounding the national trust.

stefan schutz aka juno6 belongs to the society of the leipzig new school, which for the last 5 years has cut a path through emotions and change in diverse regions. his particular real estate is comfortably between deeper house and thoroughly scrutinized techno. sometimes he tends in one direction, at other times the opposite. all the while juno6 captivates both listeners and dancers alike with something new. his live sets are always an occasion – sound expeditions in the most literal sense embedded powerfully, yet imminently fresh as they are bound to tradition. he even dials up the the ambient/electronic field with project beautiful planet earth, or together with friend daniel stefanik as sensual. the sonic awareness of juno6 is expressed consistently as a potent degree of warmth, which paints a distinct lively and long-lasting tone on club music. the tone is hardly useful as a flavor of the month, but rather, a music with stamina and character. his track >guununk< is for more than a few the quiescent highlight of the fat 5zig compilation. on his second from fat, he displays the juno6 portfolio fully and expands his present effect with a portion of funkiness and a sprinkle of pop – at least on one of the cuts. with clever vocals mr. schulz informs us yet again.

bekeschus is a new project in eintakts artist portfolio. the brothers benjamin and sander present here their first release called >dieser moment<. this ep is a combination of moody electronic styles containing 4 tracks floating between deep, dub, and dirty. the songs connect modern music-to-the-floor with timeless sounds and arrangements that both touch inside and move forward. sound inspirations derive from numerous movements of pre and post millennium artificial sound scapes. especially, early club sessions in berlin since 2000 shaped the brothers view and interpretation of the input and output of electronic culture. >dieser moment< stands for an audiophile time document of their development, and at the same time awareness of >this moment<.in the year 2000 the brothers started to engage their selves in djing...

die welt steht kopf. als waere die franzoesische revolution nie passiert, ist von allen menschen denen dort oben am wenigsten zu trauen. hoechste zeit, sich allen imperativen der entfesselten dunklen maechte zu verweigern. vergiss aktien- und wechselkurse. verbrenn dein portfolio. mach den tag zur nacht. faustregel: ab jetzt wird nicht mehr oben sondern unten nach antworten gesucht. das fuenfte album von deichkind folgt dem gebot der stunde und verspricht bereits im titel eine radikale zaesur: -befehl von ganz unten-. fuer die sarrazin-jugend die hoelle, fuer den dissidenten rest ein knallbunter moeglichkeitsraum, erweist sich mit diesem album das unten als aeu§erst produktiver befehlsstand. zwischen unterschicht und untergrund versteckt sich genug intelligentes leben, um damit ganze kontinente zu retten. kein buch macht das derzeit deutlicher als -befehl von ganz unten-. dabei lesen sich die songtitel wie kapitelueberschriften: -illegale fans- kaempfen wie rebellen gegen das imperium: philosophie und selbstgeisselung kulminieren in einem universellem -leider geil-: mit der sarkastischen parole -bueck dich hoch- bekommen karrieristen einen unverdient grandiosen schlachtruf ... und das ist nur der anfang! das neue material verspricht nicht weniger als eine euphorische totalverwirrung. vielleicht bewahrheitet sich dann die alte boxer-devise: -wenn wir unten sind, ist unten oben.- diese single kommt mit einem exklusiven remix.
