angefangen mit seinen legendären veröffentlichungen der band spacek, seiner solo-arbeit auf dem kult-label sound in color und seinen kooperationen mit dem verstorbenen j.dilla, bis hin zu seinem unter dem radar gehaltenen black pocket projekt mit seinem bruder dbridge und seiner jüngsten arbeit mit mark pritchard als eine hälfte von africa hitech - seine furchtlosen ansätze etwas zu kreieren, waren immer progressiv und stets originell. mit beat spacek nimmt er wieder die zügel als solo-künstler in die hand und hat ein album erschaffen, das zum einen wie ein liebesbrief an die zukunft, zum anderen wie eine ode an die vergangenheit klingt. erstellt wurde das album weitestgehend mit diversen iphone- und ipad-apps, was zeigt, wie befreit und angeregt durch technologien und perspektiven des neuen beat spacek gedanken aus der vergangenheit ausdrückt. es ist eine reise durch die entwicklungen des modernen großbritanniens aus einer futuristischen perspektive.
die doppel-lp erscheint auf 180 gramm vinyl inklusive downloadc1ode.

acid disco loves you!

flying lotus fünftes album ist ein trip, das aehnlich wie das kernthema, der tod, von einer daseinsform zur naechsten springt, sich von einer klangdimension zur naechsten entwickelt. auf youre dead! verschmelzen klangwelten, visuelle welten, metaphysische welten, die virtuos miteinander verwoben einen vollkommen neuen stoff, ein transzendentes, bewusstseinserweiterndes plasma ergeben, das so nur in der Übergangszone oder zwischenwelt existieren kann. musikalisch orientierte sich flying lotus an den großen fusion-jazz-kollektiven der 1960er/1970er und an psychedelic-rock-lps. die anziehungskraft seiner klanglichen traumwelt ist in den letzten jahren so stark geworden, dass inzwischen auch schwergewichte aus anderen sphaeren wie kendrick lamar, snoop dogg oder jazzlegende herbie hancock davon angezogen werden. ein faszinierender, tief berührender trip.

revno return and how! the mysterious gino fontaine is unmasked - a nom de plume for non other than the chicken lipped, emperor machinist himself, andy meecham time and again he has proved his mettle, and it is safe to say this is an absolute killer, with esteemed gentleman of dance music, bill brewster having already picked up on lead cut *revnorev* for his acclaimed after dark (nightshift) compilation and quite right too, if you can find a better example of an anthemic light / dark chug-fest, we would be happy to hear it! the mix featured here is an exclusive version for this 12 inch alone! scorching bass pulses and atmospherics, powered by synthesized drums finally give way to a cool chicy guitar line and ymo style top lines for an epic space-disco finale… konkondo graces the flip, and could easily be a mysterious early 80’s cosmic holy grail with its gentle wave washes gradually unfurling into an mesmerising roland bassline and back again. a stunning release then, limited and lovely as ever - dont sleep !

summer is blooming and we have the first release on drumcode limited. drumcode limited was created to bring an offshoot of special tracks focusing on exceptional music. keeping tracks on a vinyl-only format also gives the music that special collectors quality and a sound synonymous with audiophiles. past releases come from adam beyer, alan fitzpatrick, tom demac & glimpse, ben sims, petter b and nihad tule & bauri.

last year tornado wallace touched down at the esp institute with his thinking allowed ep, a slab of wax that proved pivotal in his musical aesthetic, beautifully complimenting our catalogue. he ups the ante further with circadia, his second 3-track ep that riffs on esp themes whilst sophisticatedly amplifying their character. the title track lays trance-like arpeggiated vocals over thunderous tropical toms, opening up into an epic group chant. time of nectar coasts along, blanketing us with soft pads and soothing pan pipes before jonny nashs palm-muted stratocaster makes its cameo. the essential house jam on the b-side, soft light, will no doubt pump its way through dance floors this summer, dont sleep!

oscar mulero and christian wunsch have been making waves in the scene as their spherical coordinates project on the previous release on tsunami which was sold out in no time. now they return on christians flagship with 2 banging solotracks and on top of that a track by sleeparchive! dont sleep on this as it will fly out the shops as usual.

vinyl box-set limited to 500 copies + includes the compilation on cd - time is running and it seems like we just woke up out of our interstellar sleep-mode as we are facing the arrival of the 14th edition of the almighty cocoon recordings compilation.

not the usual bio rhythm release... as far as they have any usual releases at all. recently the label accidentally came across this lost treasure by midnightopera (workshop) and signed in at the spot. produced in 2007, five is an epic 12 minute journey straight into downtempo/deephouse walhalla, making your sunday morning seem to last forever. the 2010 rework is delivered by bad boy roger 23, diving into even deeper territories and adding some psychedelic elements to make it safely through the other side and back. sunrise over riegelsberg... dont sleep! translucent red coloured / black marbled copies, vinyl only.

the next outing on mora music comes from leeds based tms, delivering two well-rounded & versatile tracks. *fuck you, pay me* is the peak timer with firing, pounding kick drums and off-key stabs in the background. it builds to a crescendo of intense feedback, before suddenly dropping with the bass line you have been waiting for. *slomotion* on the b-side is the slow burner of the ep confirmed by the beautiful hook that comes in halfway through the track. rounding off the release comes a remix of slomotion from mora music favourite bobby o donnell. this hypnotic trippy little number raises the bar, taking the track to an intense dance floor high.

as headman gears up to release his sixth album it appears he is having something of an identity crisis... is he headman? or is he, as his mother named him, robi insinna? either way, he is one of disco s most daring of producers and, monikers aside, anything he releases is well worth your attention. especially this first sampler from the album 6. a collaborative affair, each track sees him teaming up with kindred spirits and friends to forge new groove paths and re-position old references. -work- takes a kraftwerkian recipe and stretches it like a well made pizza dough, -barbarism- dusts off the cosmic guitars for an enlightened star-gazing session, -der- sits happily between black strobe and jeff wayne while -sleep red- cruises towards dfa city limits in a cowbell escalade. each one of them will have you hankering for the album. guaranteed.

in times where a rave feels pretty much like a funfair, the chairoplane is still the nicest ride. thinking of kettenkarussell some might remember one of those gathered moments in a low summer night under the clear sky when things made sense for a while. but those memories fade away quite fast or seem really strange a few years later on youtube. so what is it that is left behind? after 10 years of collaboration the couple decided to do an album that might challenge the comfort zone of those who try to keep up that easy living. its a record full of holes. and still this is what keeps them together. in pain we trust... and yes i believe you and me will make love forever...
