the ever on point citrus recordings is stepping up for its 5th artist lp. after having released the debut albums of mindscape & jade wich all went on for critical acclaim its time for citrus to get ready for its 3rd artist album. this time its time for the debut album of fourward! hailing straight from lower austria the four men collective fourward started out producing music in early 2007. the boys knew each other for quite a while and shared the love and passion for drumandbass music. for them it was always a main issue not to stick to any particular tiny subgenre only, but to develop a sound of their own. all members have different musical backgrounds which fit together perfectly and provide a great studio vibe. days went by and the boys finished a couple of tunes properly and it wasnt long until austrian drumandbass producer duo body&soul showed interest in their works. also international artists like bbcs very own crissy criss began to support their music giving them airplay on his radio show. as a result of their effort fourward has released quality tunes on labels like subsonik sound, planet funk and fokuz. the year 2010 they experienced the so called breakthrough with releases on nasca recordings and fokuz followed by an epic 12inch for the legendary label virus recordings! the guys definitely didnt stop there and being on the road now broadened their horizon even further. resulting in a series of tunes perfectly fitting together in this cd. diversity and musicallity are keywords for this album. listen from low blow to you and me, quality drum n bass!!

our obsession with the machine lies at the heart of all electronic music. but what sets the best electronic producers apart is their ability to harness technology to create sounds that are as emotional as they are innovative - something that shines through andrew bayers debut lp >its artificial<. touching on everything from flying lotus-esque glitch-hop and leftfield electronica to swirling melodic techno and warped electro, >its artificial< is the sound of a maverick musician using his machines to their fullest

dave.i.d likes to think for himself. always has done. its the reason why his debut album didnt go quite according to his initial plan. he was going to make, to use his own words, >something pretty simple and straightforward<. but then he noticed lots of his friends were discovering new beliefs. some even tried to convert him. >im very open-minded to different beliefs, but i question and see things slightly differently,< he says. without necessarily wanting to, he found himself reflecting on existential questions. >the album is a record of the time that it was made, and thats what was going on in my life at the time. i didnt necessarily want to make the debut album like that. i felt i had to make it<. the cerebral inspiration catapulted him into musics outer rim. he beamed back a dark, dense sometimes confrontational sound, but ultimately compelling sound. but, in the end, it turned out to be a happy accident because the resulting record, called >response< appropriately enough, is mind-bendingly inventive, brilliantly off-kilter and constantly surprising. crucially, the tough sonics are paired with killer melodies: this is deep, heavy music you can hum. the records he was listening to while making >response< help make sense of his singular sound

the word genius is not a term we like to use loosely when speaking about our artists but giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor experiment fits the bill. a gifted musician, soft synth designer, found sound pioneer and he still finds time to make forward thinking disco pop for bearfunk as tobor experiment >disco experience<

mark stewart first made his presence felt as the front man for the pop group in the late 1970s. they were pioneers of the post punk dance sound and had success with singles such as >she is beyond good and evil<, and >we are all prostitutes<. when the band split in 1980, mark joined the emerging on u sound crew as a part time member of the new age steppers. he then went on to form his own band with keith leblanc and doug wimbish, the rhythm section of the sugar hill gang, and guitarist skip mcdonald. with adrian sherwood and his production magic at the controls, the maffia unleashed an awesome mix of styles that sounded like bootsy collins jamming over a bootleg jah shaka tape in an urban warzone. this incredible mix of funk, dub and electronic overload pre empted techno and drum & bass by years. mark stewart, often copied, never bettered. the film retraces the singers steps and paths from the early days of the pop group right up to the present. schifer, who followed mark around for a full 3 years, has crafted a detailed, often intimate portrait of the artist, supplemented by interviews with a. o. mark stewart himself, adrian sherwood (on.u sound), daniel miller (mute records), nick cave, mick harvey, doug wimbish, skip mcdonald, keith leblanc, douglas hart (the jesus & mary chain), fritz catlin (23 skidoo), mike watt (minutemen, the stooges), gareth sager (the pop group, rip rig and panic), dan catsis (the pop group), john waddington (the pop group) janine rainforth (maximum joy), massive attack, keith levine (p.i.l.) and many others, plus never seen live recordings and music clips

gloss drop ist ein faszinierendes, hypnotisches album, das sich jeder kategorisierung & schneller analyse entzieht. der battles-sound vereint so unterschiedliche richtungen wie hardcore, tonaler minimalismus, neo-klassik, techno & post-rock. wŠhrend dance-acts wie chemical brothers oder massive attack regelmŠ§ig gastsŠnger einladen, sind battles der erste gro§e rock-act, der dies tut. ihre gŠsteliste ist beeindruckend: der pionier des dunklen synthie-pops gary numan im muskulšsen tribal-rhythmus, der chilenische techno-minimalist matias aguayo wird auf seine stimme reduziert, kult-indierockerin kazu makino (blonde redhead) mit zŸndendem dance-punk & yamantaka eye, messianischer dreadlocks-frontmann der japan-radikalkombo boredoms, betŠtigt sich als interstellarischer mc im schamanen-chant. es sind diese ŸberschŠumenden und unerwarteten momente, die battles von allen anderen zeitgenšssischen bands unterscheiden

this release is a reissue of two of german producer udo heitfields albums for tresor, from 2000 and 2002 respectively. the passage of time has done little to tarnish the productions and of the two albums, the three untitled tracks from the ways of the bodies have some bearing with dub techno,unfolding in a dreamy, jazzed out manner over the course of 20-30 minutes each. timeless meanwhile is a more ambient work, but heitfield manages to keep the listeners attention with the hour-long all and you, two dreamy, abstract works. that they sound all the more relevant given technos shift towards off-beat sounds is testament to heitfields timeless sound.

whats the point of a concept album when no one hears the concept in it? maybe that it sets a boundary, forcing mr artist to go even deeper into the fewer possibilities left. creativity by limitation and all thatÉ well spare you further theorizing. >fever<, the third longplayer by dutch low end scientist 2562, then, is his disco album: a thorough reinterpretation of underground disco music from the mid seventies to the early eighties, with his own birthyear 1979 as the gravitational point. all based on one simple rule: every single sound, from the smallest background shiver to the most obese sub bass, originates from a disco record Ð no additional synthesizers, drumcomputers or other samplesources involved. disco-edits, italo homages or filtered loops then? hardly. this is genuinely new and retro-free music that respectfully flips its sources so hard even the biggest paradise garage connaisseurs wont recognize what just hit them. or in the words of musical allies martyn and pinch, who independently drew the same conclusion: >sorry, but i dont hear that whole disco story in there. this simply sounds like you.< completely failed as a concept album, then Ð and all the better for it.

boys and diamonds is unmistakably a pop album but also one that comfortably fits in with kompakts long-standing lineage of genre-refracting releases. you will be hard up find another record that cohesively brings to mind siouxsie rubbing elbows with shabba ranks, giorgio moroder sipping daiquiris in bali, desmond dekker envisioned through skittering footwork, tom tom club sitting in with congotronics, even early madonna produced by chris and cosey. unlikely as all of that sounds, rainbow arabia makes it sound easy. mostly recorded at their home studio in echo park, muppet palace, boys and diamonds was written and produced by the couple with help from their friends in los angeles and beyond. drummer/producer extraordinaire butchy fuego (pit er pat, boredoms, mia) contributes arrangements and beats in places, and icy demons dylan ryan plays on the percussion-heavy island shuffle nothin gonna be undone . the album was mixed at the wonderful hobby shop studios in la by mudrock, who also adds some final production touches on the record. the 11 new songs on the album, were also made possible by the encouragement of peers/heroes in la like former ghosts, fool s gold, secret circuit, abe vigoda, and part time punks dj crew. outside of their hometown, they also found support and inspiration from kindred spirits like pictureplane, spoek mathambo, as well as their new home, the ever-illustrious kompakt

more than a portrait: a legend!
a movie/reportage (french & english subtitled) about one of paris oldest free party tribe. can be very interesting over 2 points of view: one just because you like hardtek tribe and free parties, or because you want to discover this movement with a sociological point of view.
the movie itself is very well done and the original soundtrack for this movie just good as expected: the life of this sound system is typical of what happens with techno tribes... for the best and for the worst. an important documentary, interviews are very honest.

babylon by car is entirely in this ambiguity, between nostalgia and modernity, between pop and post-punk, electronic music and rock, past and future Ð its where kraftwerks >men-machines< celebrated an endless future with obedient machines. botox summons the ghosts of the century, from cybotron to wire, from fad gadget to john carpenter, to give birth to greatly personal music and, in all honesty, a rather unique sound in french electronic music. botox doesnt swagger to keep their motors running. both melodic and fierce, >babylon by car< comes as it is. and its probably the best way to take it in

welche musik begleitet dich bei den schoensten augenblicken und laesst dich von filmreifen sonnenuntergaengen an schneewei§en straenden traeumen? die antwort: early morning breaks. die chillout, lounge und deep house mix show beim sender planet more music radio hat laengst kultcharakter, die sessions von djs wie chris coco, dj jondal, dj mark, sinan mercenk, blank and jones und jan lang (fil-a-fil) werden nicht nur gern zum -runterkommen- nach dem clubbesuch gehoert, sondern auch zum -weekend closing- am sonntag abend. kein wunder, dass die cd-compilation zur sendung seit einem jahr ohne ermuedungserscheinungen auch bundesweit und sogar international in tausenden cd playern und ipods laeuft. auch early morning breaks vol 02 schickt sich an, so ein dauerbrenner zu werden. die besten chill-beats, beachhouse-tracks und lounge-grooves aus der show sowie mehrere exklusive und bisher unveroeffentlichte neu-entdeckungen wurden von dj mark (planet more music radio) und peacelounge-labelchef christian arndt zusammengestellt und sorgen in einem sommerlich-flauschigen mix fuer den richtigen sound zu jeder stimmung. ibiza resident chris coco steuert mit -my beach house- seinen traum von sonne, meer und strand bei und laesst den sommer im zeitraffer vorbeifliegen. ungewohnt ruhige klaenge liefert eddie thoneick, deutschlands house export nummer eins diesmal ab: sein -love under pressure- gibt es im wunderbar entspannten acoustic mix. laessige bossa-klaenge duerfen natuerlich auch nicht fehlen.

introducing the raudive alias, he created a reduced, sexy, dancefloor-centered wave of greatness for labels from drumcode to cocoon. this sound turned out to be highly attractive for the djs to play and for the girls and boys to dance to. the unparalleled appeal of his beats left the usual minimal competitors sounding rather dull. thus raudive quickly became the blueprint of techno modernism and one of todays most influential genre-bending production styles. macro unleashes the highly anticipated debut album - chamber music. chamber music is both: claustrophobic in sound design, reminiscent of the dark and sweaty concrete club spaces this music inhabits, as well as carrying acoustic qualities of induced instrumental experimentalism. bitches brew voodoo reeds, new york no wave voices and european avant strings spin a mesmerizing dark patina around the ultra-sexy year-3000-rhythms. no wonder theres huge dj support all accross the board - from miss kittin to richie hawtin, surgeon to trevor jackson, ricardo villalobos to jeff mills. massive deep edge and one of 2010 finest albums so far!
