!!vinyl only , ltd repress!!! yo hermeneutics! acid pauli (console, notwist, electronist) knows where the shoe pinches: we all need more soul. marvin is like these rare double groove vinyls, where two songs running parallel, (you may think oops the needle is hopping) well, in the middle of the tune the striation crosses, and then it ooze out soul and the sun rise

i dont think i know, or heard of, anyone who share the same obsession in searching obscure disco records like kool dj dust (real name daniel savio). call him at any given time and he is in some flee market or second hand shop on the look-out for records. he even got an apartment just for his collection.
we talked about the idea of re-releasing >un-googable< music, old stuff that is not only very hard to find, but also so good that re-issueing it is an actual cultural necessity. dust tossed around with a few ideas and finally these three songs made the cut. we are very happy with them!
we hope you are too. we are also happy that we have the support on this release from so many djs. some of them being rune lindbaek, in flagranti, tim sweeney, horse meat disco, 6th borough project, parlour, dj rocca, bonar bradberry, parlour, hugo capablanca, cousin cole et al.

sea power & change is a pseudonym for seminal portuguese producer tiago, a multi-talented musician and dj with his attention split between many musical endeavors, this self-titled ep marking his departure into yet another territory. these are four melancholic songs, each independent in mood yet collectively bringing to life a beautifully vague array of contradictions. with sea power & change, tiago taps into our perverted subconscious, developing a cinematic approach by coupling tragic pianos with slow-motion basslines, slinky guitars against industrial drums and grandiose synthesizers over tropical percussion, all bathed in pornographic overtones

pascal pinon, das sind jofridur und asthildur, zwillinge aus island, die bereits im zarten alter von 14 mit zwei freunden eine band gr?ndeten. die beiden mºdchen klaubten sich die instrumente zusammen, ?bten in ihrem zimmer und traten mal hier, mal dort auf. ihre musik - ein mix aus neofolk und lo-fi-pop - klingt sch?chtern und zur?ckhaltend, was sicher auch an den d?nnen wºnden ihres zimmers liegt. die songs indes beweisen gro?e klasse, kein wunder also, dass pascal pinon mit ihrem deb?talbum f?r den islºndischen musikpreis als newcomer des jahres 2009 nominiert waren. die drei-track-single >i wrote a song< gibt einen vorgeschmack auf das schaffen der beiden.

new chain is the debut long-player from new york s small black. richly coloured and thickly layered, it is an absorbing, eclectic and obsessive body of work. the brooklyn group have succeeded in melting together locked and popped drum-shudder, gauzy spirographic synths and subtly contagious, half-remembered melody into ebullient bursts of evocative, subliminal and thoroughly modern pop. the songs are equally informed by the rhythmic bounce and stylistic swagger of more left-leaning contemporary radio rap and r n b as it is the submerged kaleidoscopic swirl of the early 4ad dream factory.

ihr von presse und fans enthusiastisch aufgenommenes deb?t we are jealous. we are glass. verzuckerte uns den sommer 2008 mit berauschenden indiepop-tunes wie words on logs oder dancing ships. die nun erschienene single monsters und der honestlytoogoodtobebside track feet of clay sind der erste teaser zum zweiten album von francis international airport und versprechen fr?hzeitig die vielfach hohen erwartungen zu ?bertreffen. beide songs machen auf anhieb klar: aus den vertr?umten smalltownboys sind fachkundige studiogeeks geworden und aus den fragilen indie-melodien aus papas keller von einst, erbl?hen heute ausget?ftelt arrangierte gitarrenpopwunderwerke und. akribisch besessen von jedem produktionsdetail, haben sie sich ihre vorliebe f?r gefr??ige ohrw?rmer bewahrt und sich als meister gediegener songarchitektur bewiesen.

>21th century-electronic-krautrock< ist vielleicht die beste umschreibung für das album >in g<,in welchem borngräber & struver gekonnt einflusse von motoric-krauts wie neu mit den errungenschaften von minimal-techno zu ganz eigenen musikalischen aussagen kombinieren.hier wird keine trance-seligkeit oder große abfahrt ausgerufen, hier werden die wesentlichen musikalischen aussagen auf den punkt gebracht.>in g< ist ein gelungener beitrag zur geschichte des motoric-krautrocks.abwechslungsreich inspiriert schmiegen sich zum teil düstere bladerunner-atmos an feine electrobeats und fast in jedem titel obligatorische dubeffekte an uberraschende breaks.gerade hier haben die beiden gitarren, vocals und vor allem frischfreundliche blaeser so eingesetzt, daß ihre songs als begleitmusik für jede art von kopfkino bestens geeignet sind.

nice price deal !!! prinzhorn dance school announce their return with new single – >seed, crop, harvest.< we havent heard a thing from tobin prinz and suzi horn for three years (their debut lp was released on dfa back in 2007) but theyve been far from work-shy. they toured extensively, then came home and built their own bespoke recording studio (the red shed) – and learned how to use it. time consuming endeavors which saw them drop off the music radar. which might just explain the title of the equally charged b-side >off the radar, off the system<. in their own words: >weve been busy. just not busy making records. you have to live too. you can only write so many songs about motorway service stations and airports<. they recorded and mixed both songs themselves in the red shed, with bob weston taking on mastering duties. …prinzhorn dance school are back! and dfa could not be more proud

played by jesse rose, mandy, karotte, lexy, seth troxler, sascha funke, ivan smagghe, dubfire... the producer and dj oliver koletzki and singer fran are still firmly riding on the fast track to glorious pop music. after the first single >arrow and bow< of their new album >lovestoned< they now release >echoes<, both as a maxi single with four different remixes and a vinyl edition that includes three of the remixes. but lets start with the original, which is easily one of the strongest and most powerful songs of the album. it is here where koletzkis background as a producer of house and techno meets with frans ability to create divine lyrics and perform them with her unmistakable voice.

hypnotic and mesmeric, the haunting music that brazilian artist babe, terror makes belies its origins: originally conceived as a soundtrack to >cold saturday afternoons< at home and long, late night walks around his hometown of sao paulo, his tracks are not so much songs as compelling, unsettling aural landscapes, lush, cinematic stories rendered as washes of electronica, absorbing influences as disparate as 50s pop, tropicalia and cold wave and distilling them to their ghostly essence

die nullerjahre des 21. jahrhunderts verbrachte er nach eigenen angaben in einem selbst gew?hlten exil als >would-be folksinger<. lloyd cole, zusammen mit den commotions oder eben solo seit mitte der 80er-jahre eine feste gr®?e im internationalen popzirkus, sehnte sich nach dem spiel mit der band, nach ein wenig rock n roll. die songs dazu hatte er bereits, das geld dazu besorgte er sich von den fans: circa 1000 von ihnen waren bereit, 45 dollar f?r eine de-luxe-version eines albums zu ?berweisen, das von eben diesem geld erst noch eingespielt werden musste. cole rekrutierte eine studioband aus alten und neuen bekannten, u. a. joan wasser alias joan as police woman sowie mark schwaber und matt cullen von coles begleittrio the small ensemble. das ergebnis nennt sich >broken record< und ist das frischste und lebendigste klangerzeugnis, das von lloyd cole seit jahren zu h®ren war. man merkt dem album an, wie gut cole das zusammenspiel mit der band tut, die songs sind auf gewohnt hohem niveau. aus dem would-be folksinger wurde wieder der s?nger einer rock-n-roll-band.

als s?nger der bats und bassist von the clean z?hlte robert scott zu den protagonisten der einst legend?ren indie-szene neuseelands. so ?berrascht es kaum, dass er f?r soloaktivit?ten stets wenig zeit fand, obwohl er flei?ig songs schrieb. einige von denen erscheinen 2010 auf einem soloalbum, die single pr?sentiert zwei lieder als vorgeschmack. >too early< ist ein eing?ngiger, kurzer und verzerrter popknaller, >the moon upstairs< eine hommage an das songwriting der 60er-jahre mit leicht psychedelischen gitarrenarrangements. das artwork des siebdruckcovers der single stammt von der berliner illustratorin julia guther.
