iro aka sind zurück auf hivern mit dem letzten teil der trilogie, die 2020 mit -el passatge de les ombres- begann. das aktuelle album -planet earth-, das auch auf cd erscheinen wird, zeigt eine neue seite des katalanischen duos. die sieben songs teilen einen klinischen ansatz im sounddesign von perkussion und ambient. stücke wie der opener -14.696- bauen sich langsam auf, während -aquamarine-, eine der singles, eine euphorischere seite des projekts zeigt. diese kombination aus spannung, spacigen beats und hypnotischen schnitten spiegelt iro akas bestreben wider, ein kohärentes und fesselndes werk zu schaffen, das sich lohnt, gründlich durchgehört zu werden. illustration von vica pacheco und design von eenyakee.

all clear cd jewel case with 8 pages booklet, no inlay, the cd is put upside down on the tray so its label is visible from the back of the packaging. molecule returns with a new odyssey both physical and musical. following the success of 60¡43 nord, his concept debut played, recorded and mixed on a fishing boat during a 34-day journey in the atlantic ocean, the french producer decided this time to take the process further up north and embarked on a voyage to greenland. isolated for five weeks in the small inuit village of tiniteqilaaq, romain delahaye used his survival electrokit to find new sounds in the fjords, the icefields and the hostile yet dazzling landscapes surrounding him. entirely recorded and mixed in this remoted place, the tracks of -22.7¡c range from contemplative ambient atmospheres to more upbeat techno blizzards and accurately translate this epic self-reflective adventure across a land of contrast, its abyssal silences, its immaculate glaciers and its blinding whiteness. with ten previously unheard tracks and very enthusiastic early feedbacks from medias internationally, -22.7¡c is set to confirm molecules status as a one-of-a-kind producer in todays electro scene.

the night is what makes a big city come to life. right after sundown, the hectic buzzing of downtown makes way for adventure playgrounds, bathed in neon light, revealing their countless chances and opportunities. its when youll find the subway spitting out its purpose seeking passengers by the minute. a coming and going of restless people passing through. all it takes is a few hours, before the sunrise makes it all disappear. mental bend captures the magic of that very moment in their dreamy soundtracks. if you close your eyes, you can see blurry pictures passing in slow motion, accompanied by their atmospheric songs. grainy black and white snapshots, fragments of memories lighting up somewhere in the farthest corner of the cortex. one step is the berlin-based indietronica duos visually vivid debut album, released on enfant fenou. mental bend are all about letting go. sissip (voc/synth/bass) and hendrik havekost (beats/production) know how to trust their instincts, crafting their hypnotic signature sound, somewhere in between electronica, ambient and dream pop. before founding the band in 2013, the two were already shaping their skills in all kinds of different formations and styles of music. as soon as they got together, they had a viral mini hit with their song take my hand, praised on various tastemaker blogs and generating over 100.000 likes on soundcloud in no time. the bands first long play record one step is all about important experiences and decisions, small as well as big steps, all a part of making progress, which in the end can even be life changing. it was a step, that recently got mental bend their record deal on mos ferrys sub label enfant fenou

suction records is thrilled to present the debut archival album release by rx-101, a bedroom techno producer from the netherlands, erik jong. -like yesterdays- compiles 10 tracks from rx-101 s first two vinyl-only 12- eps, together with three cd/digital album exclusives. this previously unreleased material dates from 1997-1999, recorded live to cassette in a feverish burst of creativity, utilizing a small arsenal of classic techno instruments. here s rx-101 in his own words: -from childhood i loved dance music. in the 80s one of my older brothers always recorded mixes from the radio and we always listened to that. my other brother and sister took music lessons in electronic organ and when i was about 9 years old i did the same. i quit when i was 14. from childhood i was fascinated by synthesizers. in the late 80s i started more and more listening to dance and house music and it was 1991 when i started listening to techno from labels like underground resistance, transmat, metroplex, +8 records and warp

the complementary duality that is ichinen is the raw expression of roberto bosco and kiny. 2017 sees them return with the proven form of their alliance, kicking things off with the dual craters album.

the reveries begin with a simple electrical hum Ð a starting signal for the appearance of a vibrant array of sound, shifting before us in seemingly random motion. before we know it, all those pulsating melodies, razor-cut hifi-house beats and drunken robot jazz ensembles start forming into patterns, secretly & perfectly designed by one art alfie. a long time operator in stockholmÕs small but insistent underground music scene, oscar wedrŽn broke through internationally in 2012 with the karlovak project, founded with on-off studio and dj partner rudolf nordstršm, a.k.a. mr. tophat. the duoÕs inexplicably fresh takes on classic dance music tropes is as much a result of a brilliantly odd pairing of personalities as of a defined concept and a precise method in searching for the perfect house groove. while writing reveries of, released early spring 2017 through studio barnhus, art alfie freed himself of all conceptual footholds, delving instead deep into his archives of old and new memories and feels, working with improptu field recordings and emotionally-guided sampling processes. he came back with an intricate and personal debut album and he didnÕt lose his groove on the way.

excellent selection thru da 80s

fourteen tracks of transit two which follows 2011s transit one, which introduced a number of new faces to the roster along with plenty of old favourites. the sequel looks to do the same, as up-and-comers like halogenix and safire rub elbows with ebk, optiv and dlr.

when messiaen set out to transcribe birds songs as models for his compositions, he couldn t have predicted that by now wild birds would have started to learn mobile phone ringtone patterns. for a system of objects, raudive aka oliver ho maps an obliquely constructed world in which you lose all certainty of what is nature and what is design. raudive celebrates dance and auditory scenes as rituals, employing our surroundings as sources of ahistorical found sound - primitive technologies used to reach magickal states. a drum machine and a wooden stick, a sawtooth-shaped electric current and a split rock all turn into empirical objects of the same class, without a definite past or a predictable impact.

only 9 years after its official opening, watergate has become one of the worlds most prominent underground electronic music institutions. in no small part due to its picturesque location running directly alongside the river spree, its wall to wall led dance floor installation and most of all, its consistent flow of first-rate international talent performing every week. watergates presence and influence has spawned many side projects including a boutique-style mix cd series now in its 8th volume. a whoÕs who of the clubs regular talent and resident artists such as sascha funke, sebo k, dop, ellen allien and others have all contributed to the aesthetically pleasing series, now regarded as collectors items. for the eight installment in our mix series, we bridge the gap between two global capitals of techno: berlin, and detroit, home of lee curtiss who delivers a forward-thinking mix, inspired by time spent living in both cities. lee is one of a new generation of techno visionaries from the motor city, that includes his visionquest collaborators ryan crosson, shaun reeves and seth troxler, who are putting their own unique spin on their citys most famous underground musical export. based between detroit and berlin for the last four years, lee has a fundamental grasp of what makes both dancefloors at watergate tick, and this enduring love and understanding of the space clearly shines through in his mix. building on the raw soul and funk of those who have blazed a trail before him, on both sides of the atlantic, lee brings his own subtle melodies and keen sense of dramatic tension to the fore in a mix that encompasses all that is vibrant and exciting about underground techno in 2011
