nach der neunteiligen 12--serie im sommer 2016 erscheint die -previously unreleased- kollektion aus Ÿberarbeiteten demos und unveršffentlichtem material nun als limitierte doppel-cd. aufgenommen fŸr das playgroup debŸtalbum zwischen 1997-2001, bleibt die hedonistische mixtur aus disco, dub, funk, electro, new wave und post-punk zeitlos. die 25 tracks wurden von trevor jackson unter mithilfe von sasha crnobrnja (in flagranti) aufgefrischt und featuren den produzenten ed dmx, mike z (crash course in science) on vocals und den jungen kieran hebden (four tet) an der gitarre

a good place to start. her basic sound and image were interior-life bohemian, and in some ways she was cagey with her talent. she didnt belt or improvise broadly. she picked a limited range of notes and climbed into them, applying a pinch of vibrato, letting her voice fade and crackle. these tracks clearly demonstrate her guiding desire, which was to explore the possibilities of the slow blues in the late 20th century, whatever that might mean. some of the most intense recordings she made were english-language covers or japanese rewrites of american jazz standards, blues songs and spirituals, backed by only acoustic guitar and drums. she sang slowly, as if there were weights on her. and after a while of her working and your listening, youll hear it: the way she connects intimately with her task but keeps something private for herself (new york times)

time will tell. true words reflecting the artistic and mainly personal metamorphosis klaudia gawlas has gone through in recent years. the result is her second album ÒvisionÓ in which she approaches a place she calls home in a musical context. the energetic but at the same time deeper and more sophisticated sound of ãvisionÒ is proof the she has taken a big step towards reaching the artistic level her true inner self has been striving for. as so often in life a strong vision leads to a very pure form of motivation, which finally turns wishful thinking into action. vision is a straight statement and commitment to the roots of techno. something that matches pretty well what klaudia gawlas is known to stand for. vision. 11 tracks, released on cd

sascha borchardt aka monoloc is a dystopic atmospheres fanatic that has dedicated his life to the dance floor from an early age. the frankfurt-born artistÕs raw yet sleek take on techno and ambient has evolved to characterise his own musical style in his productions. monolocÕs sound is a mixture between techno, dub and ambient, nurturing a tone that is driving, groovy and low-slung, but with greater emotional range. he acquires most of his inspiration from old movies and likes to work mostly with field recordings in his productions. Ôthe untold wayÕ on dystopian is his second album, following his first in 2012, and shows a notably matured development in the artistÕs style.

hotflush are proud to introduce an exciting young artist, pyur, along with her singular debut lp epoch sinus. despite her relative newness, pyur meets the world with fully formed and unique signatures in both visual and sonic work, revealing a deep artistry that transcends medium. growing up in munich, in and amongst the same fecund scene that spawned artists like the zenker brothers and skee mask, pyur cut her teeth from a young age as a guitarist and singer before becoming spellbound by the electronic worldÕs endless scope for sound design. endowed with innately strong synaesthesia and reared in a shamanic household, she tells how music Òplayed the biggest role in my growth. it alone had the purpose to help me dissolve boundaries, discover the beauty of lifeÕs mechanisms, create freely. it talked. soon i felt like the music was making me, not the other way round.Ó epoch sinus is a seamless and heartfelt whole, a life-like being unto itself, describing the disintegration of barriers between the self and the all. here pyur offers an intimate and personal statement, combining knowledge of universal harmony with electronic music. she states: Òi m mainly influenced by my inner visions and nature itself, yet also a lot from club culture, which is undoubtedly an important space of connection and freedom for so many people. the record dances playfully between supposedly incompatible qualities: moments of brutality turn to softness, new life embraces decomposition, while explosive rhythmic and melodic structures are tempered with gentle and subtle percussion.

it was fitting that brazilian-born, austria-based artist joyce muniz broke through in an era characterised by the cross-pollination and globalisation of music. initially combining the sounds and rhythms of her home country with contemporary european electronic sounds, she later morphed into a house / techno producer of the highest calibre. along the way she worked with the likes of maya jane coles and viennese legends kruder & dorfmeister and released on influential imprints like 2020 vision and shir khanÕs exploited. itÕs the latter which has been her main platform for releasing music since 2011 and where she now unleashes her full-length debut album, made in vienna.

jamal moss aka hieroglyphic being veršffentlicht sein lang erwartetes soloalbum the disco s of imhotep- auf technicolour/ninja tune! jamal moss hat sich einen einwandfreien ruf als produzent sowie als live-performer von hypnotisierendem, experimentellem elektro und free jazz aufgebaut, der in seiner heimat chicago und seinen beziehungen zur schšpferischen underground club-szene wurzelt. inspiriert durch ron trent, dj rush und ron hardy, wurde jamal moss von den visionŠren und produzenten steve poindexter und adonis ausgebildet. diese brachten ihm die drum machines nŠher, die das rŸckgrat der bewegung waren und ihn zu seinen frŸhen streifzŸgen durch die musikproduktion ermutigten. seitdem veršffentlicht er flei§ig Ÿber sein eigenes label mathematics recordings sowie labels wie rvng intl. und soul jazz / sotu. seine stellung, als unverwechselbare, kreative kraft, verfestigte moss auch durch seine zusammenarbeit mit marshall allen von sun ra arkestra und noleian reusse (als africans with mainframes). unverwechselbar ist auch seine art, musik zu machen: er vereint seine antike herkunft und musikalische dna mit einer leidenschaft zum experimentieren, erschaffen und setzt musik als heilmittel ein.

sebastian inwood has long been regarded as one of drum & bass s most promising producers, with a string of impressive singles on ingredients and hospital testament to his talents. strange system is the bournemouth-based break freaks debut album, and simply sparkles with futurist intent. comprised mainly of tracks that blend sturdy, bass-heavy d&b rhythms with the kind of melodious flourishes that have become hospital s trademark, its an album full to bursting with highlights. these include, but are not limited to, the punishing sub and sweaty, late night vocal samples of xylo, the slick, rolling liquid d&b of powder coated (produced in collaboration with london elektricity, and the d&b rap rinse-out of illaman hook-up weirdos & creepers.

the third time is the charme...thatÕs right. thus, the joy about the third album by marek hemmann is huge. likewise, the third album is perceived as an important brand which ought to show the actual extent of a musicianÕs potential. either hold oneÕs ground or dare something new? marek hemmann is not deterred by such expectations. he was merely in the mood for new tracks. the eight newcomers on ÒmomentsÓ sound accordingly - easygoing, detached and characterised by the same profoundly and harmonically balanced musicality for which marek hemmann is world-renowned. anyhow, a Òjust continue as beforeÓ mentality is not an option for the berliner by choice - from the beginning, his music effort- lessly blurred the established genre lines. in this vein, his new work is influenced by a great candour. as already accomplished with his highly esteemed albums Òin betweenÓand ÒbittersweetÓ, in ÒmomentsÓ marek hem- man takes the listeners - and certainly the dancers - on a journey through different spheres of contemporary electronic music.

after the hip hop after all tour, guts confirms in an idea more than this in the back of his head to make an album where the proportions 80% samples and programming / live 20% would be reversed. ok! an album to push further his musical exploration, go to the electro-funk, afro-disco, space jazz. add choir here, the talkbox there, play a monstrous bassline, a fiery sax solo instruments or let slip only several minutes: guts did nothing forbidden, opened the doors of the studio, broke the unlocked windows and vents so that no breath or vibration is left out.

sound and rhythm are effective means of individuals self-defence in face of chaotic steamroller of everyday life. hiding in a familiar yet simultaneously hardly recognisable parallel space does not have to result from the need of escaping the world or nurturing one’s ego. too many times to mention, music appearing under recognition imprint served as a peculiar type of a vehicle of survival and a tool for internal transformation. hideland, new record by polish electronic music producer jacek sienkiewicz is released precisely year after drifting, which largely explored tropes of classical club techno sound. eight (nine in extended cd version) tracks comprising this album go beyond easy-to-pigeonhole genres, creating a microcosm of utopian sound constructs. surprisingly unobvious and precisely composed release could be fascinating both for loyal fans and for new listeners looking for threads of experimentalism. its another intriguing proposal in jacek sienkiewiczs growing discography, but above all, a laboratory where dreams and artistic visions metamorphose into concrete reality.

everything i know and i will never know about you is a journey through electronica, deep-house and pop, driven by the endless and timeless sources of inspiration that are love and life. prior releases on powerhouses diynamic, get physical and third ear have pinpointed denites sound at the border of deep and tech-house but his long player debut is, sonically, a fresh new adventure. the spanish producer takes a developed and matured sound into deeper dimensions of self-reflection, exploring new sonori- ties while remaining loyal to his early influences with strong personal touches on drums and keys. everything i know and i will never know about you is a bold move for denite, who comes a step closer to achieving his artistic vision. tracks like when i go out and the art of letting go embody the albums innate dance-floor nature while songs like berlin see the spanish producer looking square towards new horizons and musical ambitions. club-friendly while staying geared towards the headphones, everything i know and i will never know about you reads like a bridge between two love stories with similar paths and mirroring endings. opening with the slow, pulsating sound of a heartbeat, it follows the universal cycle of the highs and lows of a relationship, closing on brighter promises and new potentialities

the cd included in the lp version features the 12 tracks of the album in the same order. since the release of the album catapulte in 2013, media have been used to describing chevalrex music as miniature symphonies. for this album, rŽmy poncet, the handyman that plays himself all the instruments, writes his own lyrics and even makes his own cover, has decided to keep the same path but meanwhile, has grown in melodic power and maturity. i finally let my teen life behind, and from now on, offer me some peaks he sings in Òaussi loin. with this new release, there is reason to wager that chevalrex will be one of the future pearls that will be used as a reference for those who will venture out on the roads of french pop.

songs without words, suggestive and emotional transparency and connection, contemplation and departure, meditation and attack: this music fascinates from the very beginning. it has no need to boast or become talkative, but stays true to itself as it casually develops its poignant pulse and lets it grow, and grow. the web of sounds soon begins to radiate from within, it inspires images in oneÕs head, and invites to musing and introspection. against the background of a wide horizon the details of their music join, develop a life of their own, and lift off to collective flights of ideas. this music is an invitation to listen without prejudice, offering a way to get lost in dreams while, at the same time, remaining solidly grounded and completely awake

die us-amerikanische electronica-kŸnstlerin olga bell (gleichzeitg auch ein mitglied von dirty projectors) veršffentlicht nach -diamonite- (2011) und -krai- (2014) nun ihr drittes solo-album. -tempo- beinhaltet gastauftritte der sŠngerin sara lucas (callers) sowie der langjŠhrigen kŸnstlerkollegen jason nazary und gunnar olsen. -dieses album ist erst fŸr den kšrper, dann fŸr den geist-, erklŠrt bell, die -tempo- angefangen hat zu schreiben, direkt nachdem sie den film paris is burning gesehen hatte. jeder song steht in einer beziehung zum spezifischen rhythmus und kšrper, beinflusst durch das tempo des tages, durch das wetter und das licht. die zehn songs sind durch old-school club-musik, west-coast hip hop und portishead beeinflusst. experimentelle sounds treffen auf geschmeidige, catchy melodien. das ganze album ist absolut originell, vibrierend und sinnlich. ein tipp fŸr alle fans von bjšrk, st. vincent, feist, sharon van etten, chairlift!

fred p aka fp-oner is back on mule musiq with another record that demonstrates the many cosmic qualities of his deeper shade of soul.

as we launch into the 20th instalment of our watergate mix series, it seems only fitting that we turn to one of our own artists to commemorate the milestone. a man already well known for his poignant and impassioned productions and dj sets, we are thrilled to present matthias meyer as the next master of controls on watergate 20! over the course of 80 minutes, meyer skillfully navigates through boundless sonic spaces of lush melodics, organic grooves and sentimental sensations with an effortless approach. from the very beginning, emotions run deep as the sound of rain and strings on kettenkarussellÕs Ôten friendsÕ sets the stage as yokoo & retzas exclusive track satori and leafar legovs tribal girls establish the percussive tone of the mix. the journey really begins to unfold when back to back exclusive tracks gorje hewek & izhevskis turgoyakk and matthias own uluwatu take over. as the mix picks up steam tracks from palms trax, langenberg, hyenah and another exclusive from meyer himself provide the perfect momentum that drives us into the deeper side as the mix takes a turn towards the final stretch.

ntogns second full length album was made for the art installation *where threads lead*, curated by frantic art gallery in tokyo.
the idea is to give a sonic interpretation of strings as both art and as an all encompassing structure of life. ntogn s approach to this has been to work with few evolving elements, flowing and curving like threads in a web. resulting in a varied lot of sonic braids.
