war „strw“ bisher eine mixtape-reihe, würde die bezeichnung dem werk nicht gerecht werden! lukas strobel schlüpft wieder in die verschiedensten rollen und arbeitet sich an stereotypen und vorurteilen ab, wie in der konsequenz in seiner karriere nicht geschehen. bereits im videotrailer zum album mimt alligatoah die rollen seiner karriere. außerdem tauchen neue gesellinnen auf und ergänzen das bild. die szenerie baut sich auf, bis ein herr mit einer grubenlampe ruft: „was ist, wenn wir gar nicht real sind, sondern nur die verschiedenen persönlichkeiten eines wahnsinnigen?“ alligaotah zeigt sein weltwackelbild. wenn draußen alles verrückt, haben die gestalten des rap-barden ihre festen plätze. sei es der feminist, der seiner liebe einen rap-track widmet, der reise-hippie, der sich in der welt sucht, ein detektiv, der durch den nebel der vergangenen nacht watet oder der meinungsfreie demonstrant, der auch gehör finden will. schafft es der künstler also bei der fünften ausgabe seiner „schlaftabletten, rotwein“-welt wirklich noch etwas hinzuzufügen? die antwort könnte sie unterhalten, verunsichern und zur selbstreflexion zwingen.

jan felix may gehört zu einer generation, die keine stilistischen berührungsängste kennt. neue verbindungen zu kreieren, statt an alten abgrenzungen festzuhalten, lautet die devise. dabei zeigt may, ende 1993 geboren, kompositorische und spielerische präzision, innovativem gestaltungswillen und humor. schon mehrfach wurde er ausgezeichnet, beispielsweise 2016 bei der internationalen jazzwoche burghausen, wo er den solisten-wettbewerb gewann und mit seiner band den zweiten platz belegte. zwar zählt frank zappa nicht direkt zu mays vorbildern, eine gewisse verwandtschaft in der geisteshaltung lässt sich aber erahnen. etwa im gewitzten mix aus klassischen und modernen einflüssen, die bei jan felix may von jazz über elektronische musik bis zu impressionismus und progressive rock reichen. der junge pianist und komponist weiß, wie man ausgeklügelte musik so attraktiv gestalten kann, dass sie neben hartgesottenen spezialisten auch viele andere offene ohren aus unterschiedlichen generationen erreicht. -red messiah-, jan felix mays fantastisches debütalbum, klingt frisch und ungewohnt anders. das album erscheint auf 180 gramm vinyl.

this double a-side e.p. is more than just a first glimpse of empirion’s forthcoming album “resume”. the techno industrial hybrid project from essex, uk is coming back with a bang of an e.p., and perhaps the strongest tracks as of their career yet. paired with strong remixes and two exclusive tracks the main 2 a-side represent each a style of the band. “i am electronic” is a grinding breakbeat/trance maelstrom with an irresistible vocoder voice arrangement that makes the track instantly re-recognisable and irresistible on the dancefloor. -red noise- represents the industrial roots of the band and is an update to nitzer ebb style ebm paired with idm elements and strong (human) vocals. in three simple words: an unmissable comeback!

horrorfilm “the johnsons” was one of the biggest productions of 1992 in the netherlands. the film won international acclaim and became a cult classic in the u.s. and japan, yet failed to make an impact on the dutch cultural landscape. or so it was thought... 25 years later, the celebrated documentary “xangadix lives!” (bram roza & yfke van berckelaer, 2017), shines a new light on the untold story behind the film’s troubled production and the legacy it left behind... “xangadix lives!” the original motion picture soundtrack, is composed by award winning producer and deformer initiator, mike redman. it’s now available on limited edition blood splattered vinyl. get it now, because when we say limited edition, we mean limited edition!

am 21. september erscheint das neue, vierte villagers album the art of pretending to swim. nach der zurückgenommenen, intimen atmosphäre des vorgängers darling arythmetic (2015), auf dem sich die zeitlosen singles courage und everything i am is yours befanden, verfolgt das neue album ein vielschichtigeres, facettenreicheres konzept, wie man es schon von conor o’briens debütalbum becoming a jackal (2010) und dessen nachfolger {awayland} (2013) kennt. eine gute prise soul, ein intelligenter rhythmus und ein umwerfendes spektrum akustischer details, analog wie digital, erzeugen eine hoch emotionale stimmung mit überaus eingängigen melodien. fein austariert, mit raffinierten perspektiven und songtexten, die die existentiellen Ängste und hoffnungen in einem eher hoffnungslosen, dystopischen, von technik bestimmten zeitalter umarmen, ist the art of pretending to swim das bislang wohl am opulentesten ausgestattete und beschwingteste album von villagers. das album wurde von conor o’ brien in seinem studio in dublin geschrieben, produziert, gemischt und zu großen teilen auch eingespielt.

“choose life” is both the album apostille chose to make and had to make. he dialled down the clown, built up a new-found confidence in his voice and melody in general and began to feel more at home in the refuge of pop music (with a capital p). as kasparis explains “choose life began as a chronicle of a bad time. many of the songs were written as some sort of catharsis, an escape from a tumultuous couple of years. the album title was intended as ironic at first but as the writing process went on the album began to feel more playful, i was finding revelatory threads in it i hadn t intended. choose life became an imperative.” all the truest pop music speaks to us of escape and through this new album apostille allows its transformative power to fully manifest. it’s an album full of life and energy, as disobedient as it is heroic in its pursuit of liberation.

world beyond ist die neueinspielung von erasures letztjährigem album world be gone in einem post-klassischen gewand. es wurde in nur zehn tagen von andy bell und sieben musikerinnen des brüsseler echo collectives eingespielt. die idee zum album entwickelte vince clarke, der zunächst vorgeschlagen hatte eine single von world be gone in einem größeren rahmen einzuspielen. im gespräch mit dem echo collective formte sich allerdings schnell die idee, das gesamte album neu zu interpretieren. produktion und arrangement lagen in den händen des echo collective, den mix besorgte gareth jones. reflektierte world be gone in einem größeren maße als zuvor die aktuelle lage der welt, ohne dabei freilich hoffnungslos zu werden, offenbaren die neueinspielungen eine neue dimension der stücke, die man so nicht vermutet hättet. pressung auf rotem vinyl, downloadcode inklusive.

digital releases his second lp within 2 years called -total control-. &#8232,,,,its not a massive collab fest like his 2016 lp ‘synthesis’ although, there’s a few on there with artists nomine, john b, villem and digital’s phantom audio partner, spirit. a strong jungle vibe runs right through this lp. the opening track, ‘motherland’ has crisp breaks, a bassline to die for and a haunting unforgettable vocal. other highlights are seba’s lush remix of digital & response’s, ‘silver lining’. ‘on the rockz’ sounds like a solid piece of 1998 drum and bass, ‘total control’ is superb and certainly one for the hardcore ravers, ‘dreamer’ takes you on a journey you’ve never been before. this is the first of 4 records, pressed on red vinyl.
