this is the year of peder mannerfelts rebirth. after seven years he has laid the subliminal kid to rest. with this new 12 inch, the chains have been locked in and the road map has been obliterated. ep1 is focused like a laser etching out intricate patterns in massive, humming machines. mannerfelts ideas have been reduced to a razors edge and he balances these freeform compositions like a master.
this ep could be seen as a prelude to peder mannerfelts debut album under his own name that will be released by digitalis industries in february and at the same time is the first part in a ongoing series of self released records by mannerfelt.

a few words by steffen bennemann: i was in loose contact with aggelos (dream weapons) for a few years, watching him from a distant with great interest. in 2012, he sent me his debut lp on inner ear under his fantastikoi hxoi moniker and it quickly became my favourite album of the year. when i told him our plans for holger he sent me some of his more electronic leaning music. i was instantly captured by the driving, trippy kraut techno songs which show homage to the psychedelic sounds of the 60s and 70s while holding their own in the here and now. exactly our cup of tea.

pick a piper was conceived in 2008 along with band mates angus fraser and dan roberts, and following two eps, the band is set to release their debut self-titled debut album. the album is made up of eight very different songs, all with one thing in common: each is built upon the foundation of its own ingenious rhythm structure, with musical layers meticulously applied, up until the vocals, which are added right at the very end, if at all. song writing done back-to-front, which is also fitting in this case because: brad weber? isnt that...? yes indeed! brad is also the drummer for caribou.
the vinyl lp comes with free download code.

danton eeproms sophomore album *if looks could kill* is set to be released february 3rd, the aftermath of an intense period at the controls of his purpose-built studio. the result is a record which is hybridised at its core, chere pop songs gradually intertwine with dance floor values while sprinkling risqué references in the process. a foretaste? femdom. femdom may have early nineties techno written all over it, but still manages to leave a strong eeprom aftertaste when it is all said and done.

for their sixth release, lets play house has headed down under to scoop up australias fantastic man, a second identity of dj/producer mic newman, with which the melbourne-based artist explores-and exposes-another side of his musical and stylistic skills. and the four original songs on the its essential ep most definitely mark a bit of a departure from newman’s trademark sounds: he has exchanged the thumping, peak-hour, hands-in-the-air chaos and messiness of hits like 2009s *sizzled sally* for a more refined and subtle breed of deep house.

especial is delighted to welcome baris to the roster. known for his edit series of obscure turkish psychedelic, rock and disco, here he takes the producers chair to present *200*. working with musicians and singers to create a completely original production. the songs message for equality (of the sexes) highlights the bigotry and backward political and religious boundaries his country faces and acts as a siren to the current troubles.

after his epic split with black deer, torn hawk comes back with a proper four track 12 inch, opening with an almost balearic/tropical, someone put something in my drink and i am melting house cut. trapdoor returns to wyatts skewed after school special add cali-speed freak bastard child drum machine/guitar lush not lushness. we get more end-titles on the b-side, as both songs could be the soundtracks for a night hanging in a parking lot drinking boxed wine and snorting ajax while auxilary police circle, threatening to harsh your mellow ... good times to say the least.

knapp zwei jahre nach der veröffentlichung des selbstbetitelten debütalbums melden sich nick millhiser und alex frankel aka holy ghost! mit neuen songs zurück. dabei zeigt *dynamics* deutlich, dass die beiden new yorker sehr an selbstbewusstsein gewonnen haben und ihre musikalische erfahrung, die sie über die jahre in form von single- oder ep-veröffentlichungen sowie zahlreichen remixes für z.b. mgmt, cut copy, moby, phoenix oder lcd soundsystem, gekonnt in die songs einfließen lassen. holy ghost! haben ihren extrem tanzbaren elektro-sound mit dem neuen album perfektioniert, sie kümmern sich nicht um etwaige trends und konzentrieren sich auf ihre stärke, einen sound zu kreieren, der sofort in mark und bein geht.
die 2x12 inch vinyl-lp kommt im klappcover, inklusive cd-version des albums.

funkwerkstatt-saenger dan morro wandelt auf solopfaden. wohin? in eine musikalische welt, deren hohe atmosphaerische dichte zwischen poppiger leichtigkeit und tiefsinniger melancholie oszilliert. es sind klassische songs, die er hier unter dem namen >i am halo< vorlegt. denn immer ist es die textur seiner einzigartigen stimme, um die herum sich rhythmen und melodien kristallisieren. dies geschieht mal mit tanzbarer, mal mit eher bedaechtiger dynamik, mal mit orchestralen motiven, mal mit elektronischem gefrickel, aber immer mit ganz viel gefuehl und stimmung. so ganz allein ist >i am halo< uebrigens doch nicht unterwegs. the micronaut steuert einen remix zu little planet bei, in dem die jazzige vertracktheit seiner beats immer wieder punktgenau auf der eins landet. gluid hebt unter die fließende melancholie des titels not invented gradlinige rhythmen, die das symphonisch anmutende original voll und ganz tanzflaechenkompatibel machen. und mollono.bass arbeitet sorgfaeltig die sonnigsten aspekte von queen of queens heraus um sie zu einem ungezwungen groove zu verdichten.

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it is loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts.
whiskey disco #22 features the second ep from b.g. baarregaard, a wonderful producer currently residing in oslo, but who is never too far from the blue lagoons of his home in iceland. b.g. has produced three sublime songs. the sound is an acid freak out of love de-luxe. it grabs and loops, hooks and tugs at your ears, then feet until you, you know. on the flip, the return both promises and delivers a mark morrison had he stayed in miami rather than returning to england. b.g. uses the third song to showcase his own song and instrumental skill in the desire. there is a magic in the air, that keeps us dancing.

die frage ist sicher nur rhetorisch: does anybody wanna funk? fragt paulo mendonca, und wer den schweden mit portugiesischer herkunft kennt, weiß: sein funk funktioniert! nach hunderttausenden verkauften tonträgern und tourneen mit größen wie tina turner gibts ein wiederhören mit dem großen funk-gitarristen.
18 jahre lang veröffentlichte paulo keine alben mehr, er trat zwar noch live auf, widmete sich aber sonst ganz seinem verlag in london. doch dann juckte es ihn wieder in den fingern. er begann, songs für ein neues album zu schreiben und aufzunehmen. das resultat ist ein feuerwerk aus funk und rock, handgemacht und sehr groovy.

the dreamteam of deepest sound hallucinations enters a new horizon. after their outstanding longplayer >songs from the beehive< and releases on shanti and workshop move d and benjamin brunn are back on the dancefloor with three new tracks on the smallville imprint. warm like an early summer night this 12inch is the perfect soundtrack for the season we all prefer. magical sounddesign meets hypnotic grooves. move d and benjamin brunn again create storytelling music with a highest grade of soul.

since day one, radiq has been showing an affinity for the afro-centric funkiness and carefully-honed sound design of modern days minimal music. as in many of his previous tracks, all six songs of >vida noir< has this certain kind of unyielding quality - long, hypnotic grooves with muted kick drum set the stage for more emancipated experiments in texture and sound design. on >a long hot summer break<, for example, the effect is utterly obvious as kicking its ass into gear with syncopated drums and strain of warm chords before animated vocal sample slips in like fingerprint. while deeply seductive interplay of those chugging percussion gives way to delighted horn of >a-dieu<, warm chord and acoustic guitar of >calling< is perfect example for radiq’s masterful sound and texture. >machine codes modified< has rather restrained structure for him, but tightly woven drums speaks eloquently about its carefully arranged funkiness and dance floor functionality. despite their repetitiveness, its surprising how well these productions forming cohesive solidarity as an album. presumably, it owes a lot to wide tonal vocabulary which is radiqs hallmark - these tracks has something concentrated, vivid qualities. this album sits just at the edge of the dance floor, but also performs its exceptional strength on intense home listening. dusky synth and truncated surge of bass of >vida noir< constructing something dark, before closing this album with modulated afro-acoustic guitar and deep falsetto voice (by the producer himself) of >rondo<. this album offers up an engaging and comprehensive amalgamation from the inquisitive sound by the maestro

the 12 track album was written and produced since the turn of 2013 and mixed with erol alkan at the phantasy sound, the labels own studio in london. a difficult trick to master but like carl craigs more songs about food and revolutionary art, plastikmans consumed or more recently the work of four tet, the album works as a cohesive whole rather than a disparate collection of tracks

featuring new material and recorded in the bands isolated studio on the edge of the essex marshes, the album ebbs and flows in mood like the nearby blackwater estuary. working with a palette of vintage drum machines, analogue synths, textural samples, acoustic recordings, electric bass & heavily treated guitar, the songs were born out of captured live studio performances.

mole city is not in the tradition or deviating from the tradition – it is the tradition. after two decades of launching drums, guitars and pianos through the shifting interzones between harmony and chaos (moonlighting along the way with the likes of sleater-kinney, wild flag, elliott smith, built to spill and a long list of others), quasi are a genre of their own - they write songs in the style of quasi, and mole city is the quasi song book: parlour sing-alongs for the last century.
now in their 20th year as a band, and a two-piece once again, sam coomes and janet weis hand-deliver the double album/liberation cookbook/encyclopedia of kicking ass, mole city, to those of us who still care about well-built, homemade objects crafted with integrity, spirit, fire, and skill.

kasket (aka charlie baldwin) returns to apollo with his second ep. warm regards, a collection of four songs left to simmer with traces of ambient, jazz, and dance rhythms, opens in dramatic fashion with a majestic title track of billowing synths and plaintively struck chords that serves as an ideal introduction to kaskets most realised work yet.

once upon a time ... in the midst of masked identities, artist pseudonyms and the like, midnight shift introduces a creature not even of human form. tapirus conjures music reflecting the duality of his soul. on one hand, rough and acidic to tell of the terrain of his past. and on the other, pure ethereal sounds borne of another place. this ep, showcasing 3 songs of the tapirus alongside a remix by label artist basic soul unit, is just the introduction to his tale.

save thyself ep lautet der titel des debütwerks von clarence clarity, das über 37 adventures (u.a. the streets, dfa1979) erscheinen wird. im gegensatz zu seinem künstlernamen ist die geschichte um clarence clarity alles andere als klar. ein musiker, der sich im mantel des schweigens hüllt und gerade durch das rätselhafte auftreten für große aufmerksamkeit sorgt. genau diese undurchsichtige und mysteriöse attitüde spiegelt sich auch in der musik wider. die vier songs auf der *save thyself ep* sind nur schwer einzuordnen.

cult melbourne band primitive calculators cut a single in 1979 before splitting in the true punk fashion. a posthumous eponymous live album was released in 1981 (also reissued this spring on desire) and that was it. those two tracks are as fresh now as they were more than 30 years ago: in a style not dissimilar to the screamers or cabaret voltaire (circa nag nag nag), primitive calculators used raw monophonic synth lines with scratchy guitars and screaming vocals but the songs were standing on their own (as the unplugged version of do that dance that appears on the primitive calculators and friends 1979-82 could testify. the original 7 inch is now incredibly rare and hard to find and this reissue is its exact replica. first pressing limited to 500 copies.

john foxx and jori hulkkonen have collaborated on a new ep, featuring 4 brand new songs, 2 remixes by film-director david lynch and a radio edit of the exquisite lead track evangeline. the other songs – strictly, something is coming down the avenues and can t see you anymore – are as dream-like and strange as anything in either artist s catalogue.

goldfrapp veroeffentlicht ihr neues album bei mute. >tales of us<, das nunmehr sechste album der band, wurde von alison goldfrapp und will gregory geschrieben und produziert und in ihrem studio auf dem land in westengland aufgenommen. ganze zwei jahre dauerte die arbeit an diesem geradezu schwelgerischen werk - es ist das bis dato erzählerischste, kinematografischste und intimste album von goldfrapp. man kann zu recht behaupten, dass keines ihrer vorhergehenden alben die lyrische weite vorwegnahm, die ihr jüngstes werk besitzt. fast ausnahmslos alle stücke sprechen in der 1. person bewegende charakterbilder und reflexionen über abseitige liebesaffären, ungewissheiten, halluzinationen, maerchen und moderne moritaten, aber auch momente von erlösung, geronnen in songs, in poesie, die goldfrapps musik an einen bislang unbetretenen ort fuehren.
die cd-version des albums liegt der vinyl-lp bei.

jessy lanza s debut album *pull my hair back*, co-written and co-produced with jeremy greenspan from junior boys, is a 2013 flagship for what electronic pop could sound like, stripped of bloated, behaviourist impulses that treat listeners like lab rats. it is graceful and erotic without the gratuitous close ups, icey and sensual, sweet without rotting your teeth, emotional but with enough blue glow to pull your heart strings. jessys voice flutters through the synths seductively, insistent without the over-singing and grating choruses that plague so much contemporary pop. jessy lanza has a background as a singer and skilled piano scholar, and the duo share a mutual love of collecting the old hardware synths and drum machines that grace this collection of songs. transecting r&b, house, disco and 80s studio rock, the production is immaculate, reminiscent of early junior boys, treading that fine line between cold futurism and the r&b that jessy and jeremy are infatuated with.

limited edition for record store day 2013 - coloured 180 gram double vinyl release of the soundtrack to the forthcoming big star documentary. all tracks are previously unissued versions of classic big star songs.

die bandbreite der zwoelf songs reicht von frickeliger indie elektronik, angereichert mit spaßigem geraeuschchaos, über poppig-housige minimal tracks mit ear-catcher-hooks bis hin zu sensiblen singer-songwriter miniaturen und aetherischen athmos. die beats – ob housig oder als rockig angehauchtes live-schlagzeug eingesetzt – sind niemals nur funktionaler natur. sie fühlen sich immer ganz dem song verpflichtet. in eine schublade pressen laesst sich in a manner of sleeping nicht – eklektizismus und ploetzliche ueberraschungen durchbrechen jedes genrekorsett.

lph whites second offering picks up where the first one, by waze & odyssey, left us. that 12inch featured a remix by london-by-way-of southern-california house up-and-comer, urulu, who produced all four of the tracks included on this ep. left coast is an ode to taylor freels home turf, but dont think its all blissed-out balearic burners one might listen to while rolling down a palm tree-lined stretch of the pacific coast highway. every one of the four songs is a cranked-up, high-octane, peak-hour monster

body 11 is/was the one-man project of tim stickelbrucks. inspired by the late 70s/early 80s icons such as omd, human league, and cabaret voltaire, tim wrote and recorded 4 songs in 1987 in his apartment and self-released the mind 7 inch ep in 1988. rather obscure at the time, the 7 gained cult status later in the 90s when collectors and word of mouth fans began seeking out copies of the record.medical records is proud to reissue the mind ep 4 songs along with unreleased recordings created at the same time. the unreleased tracks were songs that were distributed only on cassette (to friends, etc) at the time. the tracks have been transferred from cassette.
