wunderschönes neues album von sam genders aka diagrams in kooperation mit der 90(!)-jährigen poetin dorothy trogdon aus washington. auf der basis von folk-inspirierten songs setzen sich zwei generationen über wissenschaft und natur auseinander. die produzenten kristofer harris (smoke fairies, clock opera) und mike lindsay (tunng, speech debelle, low roar) geben den songs ihren warm-analogen bzw. leicht elektronischen touch.

college ist eines der musikalischen projekte des französischen musikers david grellier, der auch als valerie und mitch silver bekannt ist. der film-soundtrack zu “drive” machte ihn über nacht berühmt. der song “a real hero” von college war einer der beiden pop-tracks (mit “under your spell” von desire), welche die schlüsselszenen des films untermalten und den soundtrack so berühmt machten. “shanghai” ist ein konzeptalbum, welches stimmungen dieser stadt reflektiert. dies hört sich über weite strecken wie ein imaginärer soundtrack im 80s electro-gewand an. mit dem stück “love peas” ist gewissermaßen ein chinesischer song geboten, der in die fußstapfen von “a real hero” treten könnte. fans von johnny jewel/chromatics sollten hier herein hören!

the 1991 album from grateful dead drummer mickey heart back on double vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

little mary strays from the pack, floating from one rock to another, in the midst of the narrow cascading river stream. feeling the respirating leaves ebb and flow, she caught a glimpse of a pagan rain dance, a drum circle within a pocket of sunshine – where all mantras come to life. this captivating split ep (titled ‘acosta’), sees kilchhofer’s second 12”, after his ‘dersu’ ep on ‘marionette’. the flip side features hainbach who gets his work pressed on vinyl for the very first time – after a few tape releases, his latest being on ted butler & cortini’s ‘limited interest’ label. this is truly something wonderful from two very gifted and unique artists.

sliding into french press lounge’s second 12” in a reasonably priced used car on rain-soaked tarmac is hollywood, fl producer saki. known for his famously crispy, nearly-obliterated sound and rude-dude attitude, saki pulls down the gain (and the sun shades) to provide four hazy coastal house tools fit to blast over the comm system above the lazy river, relying on a no-frills hardware setup (homie needs floppy discs to even play a track!) and a rough-and-ready live recording policy, complete with abrupt endings.

optimo music presents -miracle steps (music from the fourth world 1983 - 2017), a 2 x lp compilation of fourth world music compiled by jd twitch & fergus clark. also available as a digital release.

beautiful piano melodies, ballads drawing their inspiration from jazz, classical music and cinematic imagery, hummed choruses, a mood at the crossroad of nostalgia and reverie, instruments with uncanny timbre and charm, chiseled percussions, added to a subtle electronic production, this is the recipe for tout va bien, the second solo album by french composer ezechiel pailhes.

hike: cristal clear lakes, impressive mountains, soothing forests and berlin techno music.
the königstuhl is the highest peak in the lower odenwald forest. at its top, an amazing view awaits you - over the neckar valley, rhine lowlands and on a clear day even as far as alsace. high above the university town you will find peace and tranquillity on the numerous footpaths. you can experience the surrounding forests in a unique way on the “via naturae” walking route or the forest adventure trail. on the opposite side of the neckar river, you will find the beautiful “philosophers walk”. in this area you can stumble over beautiful beryll minerals, like the one we used for our cover.

caravan’s coarsica ep is a gorgeous six-tracker of wandering drum machines and shiny synths, washed with the burnt umbers and viridescent hues of the australian outback. computer-funk with a green thumb. as the track-listing suggests, coarsica is a tribute to subtle and compelling beauty of australia’s native flora, as if costa georgiadis and dâm-funk got away from the big smoke for a weekend and spent the whole time by the river cooking this bad boy up. like the rugged and stoic banksia, or the regal flindersia, each track on the coarsica ep provides a dappled shade under which the weary dancer can rest in these hot summer months.

perth, capital of western australia, sits where the swan river meets the southwest coast. sandy beaches line its suburbs giving purpose to hot summer days, but after sundown, the city is where its at if you know where to look. its possible that this double-life is what inspired the deep, melodic, futuristic sounds of one of australia s most mysterious electronic dance music labels of the 90s - red ember records.

we continue the orb’s sin in space remix ep series with a third volume focussing on the duo’s latest full-length, the highly acclaimed cow / chill out, world! (kompakt 354 cd 134). the spontaneous, organic vibe and sample artistry of the album is reflected in three distinct reworks from highly respected kompakt mainstays the field, dave dk and jÖrg burger - all of them informed with surprising twists and displaying a clear lineage to the source material. the field’s remix of 9 elms over river eno takes the original s percussive part and unfolds it to a swirling, tropical epic that alludes as much to the orb s multifaceted sound collages as it does to the hypnotic, looping flow of the field s own output. meanwhile, dave dk turns in a club-friendly revamp of 4am exhale with the fittingly titled accellerator mix, indulging in exquisitely lyrical glitches and the magic of the straight bassdrum. jÖrg burger takes a shot at the beatless 5th dimensions with the excellent dschungeloper mix - its loose pop jam feeling and flirty shuffle rhythm recall burger’s lush lounge core efforts under his triola monicker.

after a first collaboration focusing on the city of angels, la legend john tejada and acid innovator tin man (johannes auvinen), this time brooding on the latters home city, and formers birthplace, vienna. the austrian capital is known as the city of music and the city of dreams, two broadly aligning concepts that go far in describing this beguiling 12-inch. the four songs were mixed down live to 2 tracks, created in the real world without a daw, or multi tracking, which has really captured the spirit of performance and improvisation. succeeding railjet, a tense drum workout, comes bim, referring to the colorful trams that run through vienna. here, auvinen sculpts his 303 into near-pizzicato form. the acid box is accompanied by stately pads making for one of the duo’s most memorable tracks yet. the next cut, danube nights, references the mighty, ancient river, the flow motion mirrored by a couple of widescreen acid lines. a pensive lead and some melancholy chords emerge, but the drums roll right along like the water- tough enough for a heaving floor with a hint of fragility for the headphones. the record concludes with the acidic prater allee, named after idyllic, sprawling park on the banks of the danube. the duos love letter to vienna is well-suited for travel, for the dance and for dreaming.

37 kicks off with tó, circular, the percussion resonating in a room, the stabs leading, and the bass pumping. 12 is next, all harmony, promising pastoral harmony, synth clock and mouth moisture clicks. paradela bursts in on the flip side, monumental, synthetic symphony, acidic and bright. jordão is last, rhythmic stutter, the rhythm cuts through, accompanied by a monotone pulse, some lost keys make their way into the mix, it tries to stabilize so it can calmly take you by the hand and lead you home, into the river.

unicazürn build their long, ceaselessly evolving musical compositions through a process of improvisation followed by careful editing and processing. their music, drawn from subconscious associations while recording, is frequently aquatic or oceanic in overall mood and texture. knight has spent most of his life living on the banks of the thames while thrower resides on the east sussex coast, and their musical flights of imagination tend toward rolling river dynamics and the open seas of synthesised sound.

newcastle-based producer traela makes his first appearance on wax with this on-point work out for hhatri, a london based label who have previously been happily working with the likes of soichi terada. there is definitely a sense of feel-good optimism and kinked drum programming hovering over this ep, especially on hanging over a river. you know i can hide also stands out with its strafing bass lick and spacescraping synth rolls, but the script gets flipped for ep closer uyokuthola as tribal percussion meets with an ambient atmosphere for a most engrossing end result.

the colors are stunning. in a single view, i see looking out at the edge of the earth, all the colors of the prism. red at the horizon, blends to orange and yellow, followed by a thin white line, then light blue, gradually turning to dark blue, then black as the vastness of space engulfs the surroundings. as i looked upon our home rock, i saw many natural features. i witnessed a large river meandering slowly along for miles, passing from one country to another without stopping or hesitation. i also saw huge forests, extending along & across several borders as if these divides didnt exist. i watched the extent of one ocean touch the shores of separate continents, then suddenly, a profound thought came over me as i looked down on all this. the birds dont fly this high

cocytus, meaning -the river of wailing“, is a river in the underworld in greek mythology. it flows into the river acheron, across which is the underworld, the mythological abode of the dead. dante describes cocytus in inferno as being the home of traitors and those who committed acts of complex fraud. the river of wailing is divided into four arms: antenora, after antenor from the iliad, traitors to country. judecca, after judas iscariot, traitors to masters and benefactors. caina, after the biblical cain, traitors to blood relatives. ptolomea, after ptolemy, governor of jericho, who murdered his guests (1 maccabees), traitors to guests. based on these assumptions cot labelhead hours crafted three pensive tracks, one of which was reinterpreted by brian sanhaji.

nearly 20 years ago, a little label started by releasing a handful of lathes containing stories of life in a sleepy city called perth in western australia. inspired by the ocean and the river during long hot summers, red ember’s humble pursuit is deep expression via the practice of analog synthesis. ewan jansen resurfaces to take the helm again on the 3rd vinyl release… an aquatic house music tale that is equally lost at sea as it is freely swimming in the ocean.

a pivotal moment in 20th century politics, history and culture the november 22nd 1963 assassination of president john f. kennedy (in dallas, texas) produced a mountainous range of forgotten, discarded and ghostly vinyl artifacts. country songs, private-press lamentations, mournful poetry and violent political diatribes were rushed onto rough-hewn 45s and marginal lps that vied to be heard above the noise and confusion.

being pioneers with a new album created in no more than 6 months, the orb are bound to be exposed to fan expectations running high, while quizzical questions about little fluffy clouds and the good old times take over. it s especially jarring as the duo of accomplished soundsmiths alex paterson and thomas fehlmann has become known for its genre-bending curiosity and surprising sonic detours, exploring experimental soundscapes as well as club-friendly beats. the funny thing is, though, that whatever the context, you know a track from the orb when you hear it. case in point: cow / chill out, world!, their latest full-length offering - a masterful ambient album that branches out in many directions, but unmistakably sounds like the orb in either ear (and probably to your third ear, too).

after completing his debut 12- for 100% silk (which saw a release in feb 2016) hubert clarke jr spent most of 2015 focused on pushing the music of others, through sydney s newest record store, outer time inner space. owning and being surrounded by a literal shop full of records provided motivation and inspiration but left little time for writing.
