break 3000 and adam kroll take quite some chances in naming their first collaboration 'get down' cause in the golden era of funk and disco every second track that was produced to 'just' get people on the went by this title ( a quick namecheck on allmusic.com confirms close to 300 entries ). well, our two protagonists surely had a few of those blueprints in mind as they clearly quote some of the main characterisitcs - handclaps, pulsating moroder style bassline, extra thick slap bass, robotic voice - mix them up with a few drops of acid, a rough guitar riff plus majestic paino chords and distill everything to a luiquid, sleek state-of-the-art house funker. the flip is more introspective and very atmospheric with darker, moody chords, yet the galloping square bassline and the omnipresent sharp highlight make sure that 'tonite' theres no parking on the dancefloor. when the players arrivea the club...beware

sleepwalking by nina

a collection of 17 burial tracks from the last 8 years on double cd.

after establishing himself with rough but emotive house as rimbaudian and jungle as birds of sweden, he unveiled his dj seinfeld alias to the world, first with underground hit single u, then with his time spent away from u album on lobster fury in november 2017. it was a post break-up love letter to the dance floor with heart-on-sleeve emotions colouring the dusty and analogue house grooves. acclaim came in from far and wide, with everyone from rolling stone to pitchfork fawning over its heart swelling nostalgia and melancholic immediacy. jakobsson approached his dj-kicks with the intention of representing all the things that made him fall in love with dance music more than a decade ago, as well as showing some of the progression that has occurred in that time and reflecting the simultaneous fear of leaving something safe behind as well as the excitement of venturing into unknown territories, musically and emotionally.

ab syndrom, the berlin duo, is coming with their third album. plastik is a bit like the coming of age album of the band. it tells stories of growing up emotionally and being played into a hard and post capitalistic environment. nevertheless you will find some quite romantic lyrics and songs between lyrical metaphors and a rough and urban reality in berlin neukšlln, their neighborhood. the music on plastik is mainly a percussion driven and electronic laden journey. not your average pop arrangements but subtle compositions and laid back vocals with a certain chopped and screw twist. the bands musical projection is a most consequent advancement of their three albums and their body of work so far. bennet seuss, singer and composer is defining his own style in writing autobiographic lyrics with a certain twist to the obscure and umtransparent. a great album for sure. tracklist cd keine geister feng shui patchwork waterboarding u8 ffm fake starring contest 2009 hattori hanzo schwert deephouse und tiefenrausch

this compilation spanning a period of 37 years features burnt friedmanÕs releases and edits thereof from vinyl-only labels (latency (fr), marionette (ca), dekmantel (nl) amongst others) plus 4 hitherto unreleased tracks, making them available on digital formats. friedmanÕs music from 1980 to 2017 covers a broad spectrum of played and programmed rhythmic styles that traverse not only club music from techno, electro and dub, but, above all, trace friedmanÕs own artistic development. a trajectory that owes a lot to his long-standing collaboration with can drummer jaki liebezeit, who died at the age of 79 in 2017. like liebezeit, friedman already explored even and uneven rhythms back in the late 1980s. this selection of 17 tracks documents this pursuit while bringing rough or discarded tracks to light, which did not fit onto any album or were intended for the nonplace label. the compilation runs the entire gamut of his work on percussion, keyboard, samplers and toys of all kinds using various production methods (tape, atari, midi, sampler, hard disk recording, digital audio tape). studio work (instant-composition, programming and recording) underwent major technological changes and revolutions in the 1980s and 1990s, but friedmanÕs distinctive signature style prevails throughout. surprisingly danceable tracks, interrupted by alien atmospheric periods, defy any genre.

itÕs already been 5 years since the last zombie zombie album rituels dÕun nouveau monde, after which the group explored other territories by signing 2 film scores, namely loubia hamra by narimane mari and irrŽprochable by sŽbastien marnier, as well as creating the music accompanying a contemporary circus show called slow futur created by martin palisse and elsa guŽrin. wouldnÕt these beautiful parentheses make you want to return to the sources? after 10 years at versatile records, 2017 also marks the decade anniversary of the release of their first album a land for renegades in 2007, at the time considered to be one of the 10 best albums of the year according to rough trade. livity - zombie zombieÕs latest opus seems to plunge us deep into science fiction, with a cover designed by the mythic cartoonist philippe druillet, who is also the founder of the cult mŽtal hurlant comic series. the title of the album is somewhat misleading, as one could mistakenly think of a certain dub record made at the famous island records compass point studio in the bahamas.

after only 3 short years, my second album o u r w a l l s is out. it comes clad in vinyl, polycarbonate, bits and bytes and iÕm very happy and relieved to finally let go of this one. the cores of its 10/11 (cd/2lp) tracks were developed on a loop pedal at home. lyrics spun here and there. almost all of them are trying to extract levels of meaning from an everchanging knot of emotions. they take their time - ranging between t h r e e m i n u t e s f o u r t y to t h i r t e e n m i n u t e s f i f t y s e v e n - to clinically isolate, examine and name the elementary building blocks constituting the knot. o u r w a l l s is about the ups and downs of your everyday-mercilessly-hopeless love relationship, about staying mild when things get rough, fabulous metaphors, childish selfdefence mechanisms, the burning space in b e t w e e n words and o u r very personal w a l l s that have so far always kept us safe

framed by two spoken word samples and wrapped in house and techno emotions, that know about electro and 90Õs electronica too: the new, second album of the leipzig and berlin based producer and live artist martin enke aka lake people moves in a fresh way. this time he shifts towards a focus on the essentials of electronic club music: sounds and groove, rough and playful interweaved with the aesthetic particles of techno. with his Òpoint epÓ, released on the berlin based imprint krakatau records in late 2012, his creative life as a producer for melancholic driven club tunes took off. several top notch djs played the tune Òpoint in timeÓ, lake people started to tour world-wide with his mesmerizing live set and produced countless remixes for colleagues from all around the globe. in 2015 he finally released his first album Òpurposely uncertain fieldÓ on the munich based label permanent vacation and delivered eleven tracks at the interface of techno, ambient, experimental and electronic, that bewitch with hymnal chords, yearningly melodies, detailed production, elaborate sound design and an overall introspective, emotive feeling. now, just shortly after he published a fresh ep on the dresden based imprint uncanny valley, lake people drops Òphase transitionÓ, a new album consisting of ten haunting tracks full of dance suspense. he recorded all between 2016 and early 2017 on various vintage analog synthesizers, uad and other creative interfaces. to find out if his latest pure slamming tracks work deep, he tried them out during his live shows in order to catch some new ideas directly from the dance floor.

there arenÕt many artists that can lay claim to having put out records on labels as divergent as rough trade and john talabotÕs hivern discs. perhaps this is because few artists express such genuine diversity in their musical tastes and creative explorations as david kitt. since the turn of the decade as new jackson he has mined a seam of driving, ghostly house to run parallel with his solo strand of ambient folk electronica. his debut release in 2011 the night mail on pogo channeled early record collection heroes aphex twin and orbital through to drexciya and projekt pm but had one foot firmly in the 21st century beaming in like some futuristic cyberballad. on the flip side hussle free had that mix of house and boogie sensibilities with dark and dusty synths and vocoder that would become a signature. this was followed by acclaimed releases on hivern, permanent vacation, major problems, apartment and most recently cin cin. his debut album set for release on all city in may was recorded in kittÕs bedroom studio overlooking dublin bay, its nocturnal hues very much a product of the nightshift often working on headphones with the rest of his housemates fast asleep. it takes full advantage of the scope of the lp format, ebbing and flowing between deep house club ready gems and more restrained and meditative beatless moments for the morning after. the recording process yielded many eureka moments with kitt finally nailing sounds that had hitherto proved elusive.

auf seinem neuen soloalbum glŠnzt der schwedische produzent dan lissvik mit seiner typisch balearischen soundsignatur aus sanften gitarren, entspannten bŠssen, dubby disco und sonnendurchtrŠnkter psychedelia. und er knŸpft nahtlos an die erfolge mit seinem partner rasmus hŠgg und deren projekt studio an, als sie mit ihrem debŸt west coast 2006 das ibiza-album des jahres ablieferten, das es sogar in die jahres-top 10 der londoner rough trade-lŠden schaffte.

dave clarke, britisches techno-urgestein der ersten stunde, trŠgt seine spannendsten remixes seiner jŸngsten, amsterdamer schaffensphase auf einem album zusammen. wie Ÿblich ist die vielfalt der original interpeten bemerkenswert und reicht von punk bis new beat und von aktuellen hip artists bis leider lŠngst aufgelšsten bands. dave clarke ist bekannt dafŸr, die original-intention der kŸnstler stets beizubehalten, obwohl er den tracks neue gewŠnder von techno bis electro, von aalglatt bis futuristisch und von dark bis heavy verpasst, was seine remixes fŸr fischerspooner oder depeche mode zu zeitlosen kult klassikern werden lie§. die soundpalette der kollektion charcoal eyes: a selection of remixes from amsterdam deckt diese gesamte stilistische bandbreite hervorragend ab.

italic would like to announce antonellis new album soulkiller. it is stefan schwanders aka antonellis 6th album and was produced using analogue drummachines, synthesizers and sequencers only and recorded live without any overdubs onto an old-school tape recorder. the result is amazing: antonellis house music on soulkiller is so incredibly rough and emotional that it reminds of the garage rock from the stooges. and the tracks sound as if esg was doing cover versions of moodymann. moreover, you will find flamboyant pop references, from bohannon to te r ry hall. the first single release taken from this album is the track hamilton and comes in the original version and in a remix version
