one of the founding members of apollonia, shonky was responsible for his label’s very first release back in 2012 with ‘the minneapolis touch’. outside of working on the trio’s debut lp ‘tour a tour’, shonky has been relatively quiet on the solo tip. here on apollonia’s 25th release we’re treated to four new cuts from the berlin-based parisian, kicking off with plombie&#768,,re (plumber in english). shonky injects a variety of unusual sounds, which revolve around a jaunty bassline, while voices dip in and out of the background, repeating the mantra ‘house music’ together with other difficult to decipher vocal clips. the track has a catchy rhythm that bounces along with aplomb. up next ‘house me’ is a sleazy, mischievous cut with a deadly low end and a seductive vocal that urges you to ‘house me’. as the bassline rumbles, high pitched effects add a hypnotic element to the track. badboy business.on the b-side we have ‘perchee’, which is powered by cleverly layered percussion, which is almost ‘live’ sounding. another one of those ‘shonky’ basslines gets us straight into the groove, with utterly contagious beats – this is one to shake the dance floor down its core. finally, ‘cosmopolis’ has that inner city realness flowing through with the chatter of a street corner in the background, a killer b-line and one of those classic vocal samples that is oh so familiar and gets you nodding your head as soon as you hear it. and there it is, four dance floor cuts with plenty of depth and groove in true shonky style… c est formidable!

basil & rogers is a sleazy, california disco duo made up of heru (dj) johnny basil and body rogers. basil, a multi-instrumentalist, long-time record collector, and energy healer is a man that s been making music for a long time under many different guises and in many different styles. heru avenger (acid/psych rock), non stop (electronic/free jazz), baast (kraut rock/jazz funk), and kandi jones (slut rock) are just a few of his projects, past and present. most of this music has been around for the entirety of the 90 s and 2000 s without being heard because despite basil s outspoken appearance (described by many as looking like iggy pop s twin brother and would never be caught wearing a t-shirt no matter the location) he s very quiet about his musical output. body rogers is also part of the non stop group and is a master of electronics and engineering. on the basil & rogers project the two have made a disco 12- that is influenced by classic-era dance music while still being completely unique and far from conforming. it s crazy, it s sexy, and it s sleazy. tune in .

its a long time since we last heard from dop. the boys have been far from quiet, continuing to tour and enchant party people across the world with their infectious fusion of house music and refined songwriting. theyve equally been no strangers to the studio, with their les fils du calvaire project releasing the recent rester avec toi collaboration with miss kittin in preparation for the debut album of the project later this year

after releasing a full length ambient album by mario hammer and the lonely robot in november, we now reales a vinyl 12- with two remixes and one original from the album. the ep kicks of with a rare remix of german producer duo extrawelt who have created a somewhat unusual hybrid of 2 of the album tracks. their remix connects mario hammer’s ambient music with their beat formula in a brilliant way. extrawelt s remix of -mono no aware / l esprit de l escalier- shows signs of a voyage since it starts off very quiet with sounds from mario hammer s original and then weaves in the accelerating techno beats and later electro beats they are so famous for.

drawing on a rich well of influences from sufi and shamanic african trance music, irish and eastern european folk music, to steve reich and philip glass and more contemporary electronica influences, their music is built around deceptively simple sounding ideas that are lent power through the use of repetition and rhythmic loops. they have been compared to both portico quartet and gogo penguin for the way in which they navigate the choppy waters between contemporary dance music and jazz.

for their tenth release, voodoo down has again chosen to debut a new act to add to their label roster. andy harper and nic ford have been making music together for over a decade but began releasing in earnest under the name maddermodes in 2014 on their own label, shift coordinate points. they have since put out records on the labels millions of moments and night drive music. their handful of releases have already drawn support from top names like move d and nick höppner, and its clear that the duos sound is only getting more refined with each successive record. the ep entitled emprical evidence is a wholly cinematic piece of work, spread across four tracks that unravel slowly, unified by a theme of pumping syncopated rhythms under sprawling pad and string progressions. its easy to get lost in the thick arrangements, and the inventive use of samples and melodic elements invite repeat listening. equally suitable for early morning hours, ultra-deep techno sets, or quiet home listening sessions.

death waltz recording company is proud to exhume another classic from the hammer horror stable in the shape of “dracula a.d. 1972”. bringing the legend of bram stoker s immortal creation into then-present day, the film pits the charismatic count up against the disco decade after being resurrected by a group of hippies performing black magic, with cristopher lee and peter cushing reprising their signature roles. composing this madness was mike vickers, former member of 60’s pop quiet manfred mann, who provided a suitably contemporary score that followed in the footsteps of jazz scores from that era.

electroacoustic experiments and filmic elements define the music that develops instinctively yet irrevocably, a sense of forward motion setting them apart. compositionally minimal, these tracks maximize their inherent potential all the way through to their logical and even illogical end. referencing electronica, ambient, shoegaze and at times modern classical harmonics, monochord builds and unbuilds in a slow heartbeat. introspective and filmic, its quiet and non-confrontational nature makes monochord move in the interzone between various spheres. their music escapes definition and that is its truest definition. its subtle pulse and evocative and drony feel invite and inspire.

romanias snejl black teams up with qindek for its 4th release. what we get are 3 tracks, carefully sculpted, ultra-pure visions of techno. each is thoroughly uncluttered, and given just enough color to be compelling. simple kick drum, undulating sounds that provide something distantly related to melody, and very subtle backdrops that pair a soothing hiss and quiet drones. nothing is superfluous, everything is essential.

wir bei seayou records freuen uns über das signing der kanadischen soulsängerin erin costelo. die erste single “fighter” ist der vorbote zu ihrem neuen album “down below, the status quo”, das seayou in europa im april veröffentlichen wird. während klassischer soul und pop am vorgänger “we can get over” die verzückung des aufkeimens einer liebesbeziehung untermalten, dominiert am neuen album ein ungeschönter, ein unerschrockener blick auf costelos (und unser aller) leben, besonders gut zu hören in songs wie “fighter”, “low” und “titanic”. auf der anderen seite, und um die balance zu halten, stehen lieder wie “move” und “turn it on”, die hoffnung und kraft geben sollen. mit der inhaltlichen geht auch eine musikalische evolution einher, eine weiterentwicklung costelos als produzentin, songwriterin und arrangeurin. dazu eine eindringliche soul-stimme, die weder in nordamerika noch in europa vergleiche scheuen muss.

over the past year things became a little quiet around the cologne based record label ki records but the collective have finally made its return with a new double 12”. marking his debut on ki, sieren unveils his first 10-track lp “transients of light”.

lack of depth returns to resopal with his 12“ follow up that continues to push gently outward against the boundaries of house music. although with a somehow decent melancholic note, the five deep and reduced tracks are drifting like clouds on a summer day. spindly arpeggios and quiet chords bounce against restrained drums. lack of depth sets hand drums and wood blocks against a limber house pattern while birdcalls and choirs punctuate the music with jubilant outbursts. coloured vinyl

lp document of the first collaboration between oren ambarchi, kassel jaeger (of editions mego) and james rushford (who s projects include manhunter and food court on the kye label, and ora clementi on penultimate press). two side-long pieces recorded at grm studios, paris in 2014, comprising of distinct layers that gently rise up and recede, pale calling obeys a dream-logic that feels entirely disconnected from traditional electro-acoustic composition, forming surreal sonic images in which half-remembered fragments of everyday life mix with the quiet intensity of dreams haunted by natural forces.

gerry rooney (black cock) and joel martin (quiet village) return with two strong cuts on new label love shot records! opener -el dorado- is a curious affair, taking loops from a long-forgotten, disco-era spanish dance record and turning it into a rolling, late night chugger. arguably even better is -limitless & free-, which cuts up and rearranges a suitably obscure chunk of stoner funk-rock. wisely, they emphasize the low-slung groove, rising strings and swirling synthesizers, occasionally utilizing select sections of the original s sleazy, come-to-bed vocal.

insula records presents their first release with the debut ep of cyspe (robin koek), half of the artefakt duo and known for releases on delsin and field records. it features three killer cuts. amnesia opens things up intense with sub-heavy layers of drums, synths and icy hi-hats all adding up to a steady and hypnotic groove. it is a cut that travels deep down the rabbit hole and takes you with it. transmission is then a soothing and blissful interlude with beautiful, floating chords all underpinned by a menacing bass line that grows loud and quiet as things unfold. lastly, passing is deep, spaced out and atmospheric with subtle pads and rolling drums that locks you into a perfectly endless groove. this is a varied ep that starts off what is sure to be an interesting new label.

float records first vinyl release is a fact. and what could be better then divide it in 2 parts. the first output reflects the second. label owners twr72 presents you *reflect*.
the 1st remix comes from berlin based markus suckut. a subtle angle is taken on reflect which makes the remix feel sustainable. just the perfect remix to include in his impeccable oeuvre. all the way from finland is analog devotee samuli kemppi, who takes care of the 2nd remix. samuli creates a sudden tension with builds up until the very end. a001, from amsterdam, turns the original reflect into a obscure remix with an perplexing 2nd half. a001s mysterious and quiet appearance is a paradox compare to his musical output. twr72 closes the ep with the bonus track *response*. a solid and barbarous answer to reflect. no words are further needed.

one modest man known as das komplex has been steadily producing music for almost a decade now in his quiet hometown of koszalin in western pomerania region of poland. it could have stayed like this if not for maciek sienkiewicz (veteran dj and promoter, one of the pioneers of polish electronic music scene), who picked some tunes for his new label fasrat. as the artist himself prefers to stay out of the spotlight, let the music speak for itself: from sun-drenched, guitar-driven like a fish (remixes coming from some key players in modern disco/balearic scene), through futuristic disco of -narkoleptyczni troche- and hazy deepness of nowadays, towards epic, over 13 minutes long, jazzy, dreamy, but no less energetic -siren-. elegant, original, infectious grooves for club play and home listening alike. limited edition with cover art by acclaimed contemporary painter aleksandra waliszewska

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.
