er produzierte the strokes (this is it) und regina spektor, damon albarn, ian brown, ian astbury (the cult) und zuletzt die spanischen hinds, jetzt legt gordon raphael aus seattle mit sleep on the radio sein eigenes debütalbum vor. auf den 12 songs zeigt er sich inspiriert von bowies glam-rock-phase, den unnachahmlichen gitarrenriffs eines mick ronson, der glam-pop-perfektion der sparks und seiner liebe zu frank zappa, prog-rock und weirdo-sounds. und sein gesang klingt wie eine wundervoll-trübe version von peter perett/syd barrett.

das album aus dem jahre 1978 ist als lp-vinyl in limitierter auflage für kurze zeit wieder erhältlich! -return of the super ape- ist der abschluss der trilogie von den drei lps -scratch the super ape- (aka -super ape-) und -roast fish & cornbread- im zeitraum 1976 bis 1978 und wurde wie seine vorgänger in lee perrys studio the black ark produziert, arrangiert und abgemischt. die zehn stücke wurden mit dem musikern der upsetters eingespielt, die seinerzeit auch als interpret genannt wurden - auf den beiden songs -dyon-anasaw- und -tell me something good- kommt das gesangstrio full experience mit candy mckenzie zum einsatz. das frontcover wurde von lloyd robinson gestaltet und zeigt den riesenaffen als krass gebeutelte figur, die unter anderem das nachhaltig zerrüttete verhältnis von lee perry mit chris blackwell (island records) zum ausdruck bringen könnte.

ponds ungezügelte kreativität hat die band bereits in der vergangenheit die weiten des psychedelic-rocks ergründen lassen. mit dem neuen album -the weather- haben sie nun eine scharfe und fokussierte platte geschaffen, eine atemberaubende absichtserklärung, die über marathon artists (courtney barnett, jagwar ma) erscheinen wird. -the weather- bündelt einige der poppigsten momente des quartetts aus perth, welches mit der gewohnten neigung zum abstrakten und zur experimentierfreude auftritt. mit dem köstlichen duft der romantischen erwartung und der synthie-raffinesse nimmt sich der song des patentierten space-rocks der band an und suggeriert ein gefühl, als wäre er aus einer trevor horn blaupause entsprungen. wie der vorgänger wurde auch -the weather- von kevin parker (tame impala) in dessen studio in perth produziert. doch während -man, it feels like space again- einen rohen blick auf die garage-infizierte psyche ponds warf, ist -the weather- eine ehrgeizige, technicolore odyssee in der entwicklung der band.

there is a way to reach into the pulse of everything. it comes when ideas are stripped down to their bare essentials, blossoming then into massive monoliths that are designed with elegant simplicity. such is the path taken on our next limited 7inch, led by chronicle veterans staffan linzatti and new comer to the stable, arnuad le texier. entitled far behind the line, it embarks with a sense of soaring weightless that only arnaud can provide. radar is a statement of futurism, thrusting the listener forward and farther into the in nite. its sonic qualities mimic radio towers, satellites, and frequencies transmitted from the far reaches of the unknown.destination acts as the perfect counter, disrupting the psyche in all the right ways with dissonant wails and unearthly chimes. together they come as a distinct package, presenting an impressionistic interpretation of what may come, or what already has.

a special reissue limited triple lp gatefold version of this total classic from carl craig, first released in 1990 on planet e.

the aim of „métamorphose“ is to offer a voyage to the listener. the pieces really often start quite dark and then the mood turns into something intimate to catch the audience from the deeper spheres. sometimes it goes the other way as well: the track starts in a happy way and turns into a deeper vibe. by doing so the listener should notice his own feelings and try to completely let himself go. further he should be aware of his emotions: on the one hand the happy and melancholic and on the other hand the dark and rather monotonous side. in addition to the musical part to each track there is a specific artwork which was made while listening to the tracks and is based on the emotional expressions which were triggered by the sounds.

six tracks make up jauzas the shining s latest vinyl offering. brutal basslines stand, arms folded, in front of snapping snares, distorted notes bucking under immense mechanic pulses. to help drop the temperatures, to push the punishment, dynarec and raw jay have been drafted in to add their own eclipsed emotions to the mix. dark skies, brimming with rain and heavy metals hover across this record, pin pricks of light piercing the charcoal heaven before diving back into the ink-stained sonic psyche of jauzas.

juan ramos lives on planet earth but channels voices from the aether. this is his first offering for the esp institute. on side a, last of the natives shows us just what we’re dealing with, a master manipulator of sound and consciousness. juan culls the toughest kick drums and thickest latex bass slaps from a deep burial in our psyche and peppers them with alien chants and fleeting electronic flutes—a combustible sense of spontaneity that may at first appear chaotic but after fully immersed in juan’s demented world, we find ourselves willfully under his control. on side b, enemy of enemy is friend also sets off from a disorienting place where a slow progression of acid, shakers and toms takes a good minute to allow us some footing around the groove. once settled into his sophisticated rhythm, juan opens the door to a glorious combination of chords, clanking guitars, shakers that scrub back and forth and the occasional smear of paranormal synth. we at the esp institute are enamored by juan’s seemingly infinite skill for crafting mood and extracting optimism from darkness, but seriously, what color speedotm should she wear this summer?

the furnace series is a two-part compilation of music inspired by a special room in the montreal apartment shared by booma collective from 2012-2014. when venues to throw parties became scarce, booma used this room leading to the fire escape in the back of the apartment known as the furnace as a space for small gatherings among close friends. the furnace series is a collection of memories of those intimate parties and impromptu jam sessions. part one features four tracks by booma collective founders and friends, beginning with psyche, a hypnotic, dub-techno inspired composition with oscillating, piercing sounds, evoking whistling flurries. solparas garden in the furnace echoes the hollowed-out concrete architecture of the furnace itself, filling up then emptying its atmosphere with layered drum machines and ghostly voices. cf01 is the result of feedback experimentation carefully arranged into a slow tribal jam. oren ratowsky. producer of booma collectives first vinyl release, rounds off the b side with gorby, an eleven and a half minute exploration of his mastery of analog synthesizers.

all the tracks are unreleased tracks. this box is an f communications release. limited edition of 1000 copies. a 4 vinyl (purple, gold, blue, black), cd & limited edition poster boxset collating music from laurents recent 4 eps, plus exclusive tracks and brand new remixes from bambounou, marc romboy, voisky, uner and more. the first new music on the legendary f communications imprint in 8 years.

all songs have been remastered for vinyl by george horn at fantasy studios in berkeley. each lp includes a 12-page booklet with excerpts from darrin huss diary, unpublished photos of psyche with dwayne, and an essay by darrin reflecting on psyche s past and the goettel legacy as well as lyrics. this collection is a glimpse at the early canadian industrial scene and the roots of skinny puppy. go take a walk in the past with an ear for the future you just might learn something.

even if an order of rank could be seen here, it wouldnt make the least bit of difference, not even to the lone wolf. without wasting any time following his zealous declaration of dedication to the horde with run with the pack on wolves (code is law 002), the young stuttgarter janzon is putting forth his very own ep, the primal scream. four tracks designed for the peak time – luvox, fluid access, alpha pulseand genetic defect— daringly travel along the branching paths of the traumatized psyche. the act of overcoming a primal suffering – perhaps dancing can prove to be helpful after all.

sometimes, things can be worth waiting for, and the rift valley by rebelski is a project that has lingered in the cadenza psyche (and record boxes) for well over a year. already a staple in the dj sets of luciano and other cadenza personnel, the piece finally gets a full release with remixes from lee van dowski, and luciano himself this summer.

atmospheric & raw analog cuts between classical composition and oldschool deep house

sadly betty botox is no longer with us. she departed planet earth in 2010 and leaves a gaping hole amongst all those who knew her. she left behind a dat tape in her studio with the final ep written on the cover in lipstick, which her closest confidants feel she wanted to be her last statement to the world. so, after a slight delay, two years later, 4 tracks that were regular features in her musically wayward dj sets are now available for her to fans to hear and play. combining her love for psyche funk, cosmic synth, space rock and late 70s stadium rock these reworkings, remixes, refixes and reproductions of known and unknown tracks are sure to be hits on non-conservative dance floors everywhere.

room 315 step up to the fledgling kinfolk imprint for three tasty psyche-edit numbers, opener >the eon men< sets the standard with its robust bass pulse driving a slow beat forward on a flurry of digitised synth solo and live guitar action, whilst >night on the shore< begins as a sinister number with lurching bass, but soon opens itself up with its solitary guitar line and floating synth pads which recall the end credits to an 80s thriller, all driven along with minimal 808 percussion. on the flip, edit masters soft rocks provide their own version of >the eon men<, taking the grizzled quality of the original and creating their own minimal wave inspired reworking, with a brittle bassline joined by shady echoes of dub music in its cavernous backdrop and savage low end.

58 minutes of alienated, global sound oddities. mixed by dom thomas (b-music/finders keepers). following on from the highly acclaimed ‘miscellaneous mutant mishaps’, b-music and finders keeperslinchpin dom thomas digs deep into his library of forgotten and unloved sound oddities. blurring the lines of mixtape and original composition, this is an explosive mix of denizen funk, psyche rock and proto house, effortlesly crossing boundaries and uncharted sonic soundscapes, defying genre classification. check!

new signing for undertones is the mighty kink who hails from bulgaria dj support from the likes of laurent garnier, carl craig, richie hawtin, osunlade, steve bug, dj sneak, jesse rose.
