with his third album vin ploile the bucharest, romania based producer, musician and dj petre in-spirescu captured a whole new audience in 2015 and reached out with minimal leftfield ambient sounds to music loving folks, that are not part of the world-wide dance music universe. well known as one of the key figures of the romanian electronic dance music scene since his first ep tips on lucianos label cadenza, inspirescu stepped away from club sounds that made him famous due to releases on labels like vinyl club, lick my deck or amphia.

wrwtfww & palto flats records are ecstatic to announce the highly-anticipated reissue of japanese percussionist midori takadas sought after and timeless ambient / minimal album through the looking glass, originally released in 1983 by rca japan. considered a holy grail of japanese music by many, through the looking glass is midori takadas first solo endeavor, a captivating four-song suite capturing her deep quests into traditional african and asian percussive language and exploring contemplative ambient sounds with an admirably precise use of marimba. the result is alternatively ethereal and vibrant, always precise and mesmerizing, and makes for an atmospheric masterpiece and an unparalleled sonic and spiritual experience. the fully licensed reissue is available as a single 33rpm lp and a limited 45rpm dlp, both cut directly from the original studio reels (aaa), at emil berliner (formerly the in-house recording department of renowned classical record label deutsche grammophon) for the 45rpm dlp, and at the equally famous frankfurter sst studio for the lp.

the avant garde movement largely influenced katsoulisÕ early compositions. after which, he turned to minimalism, applying elements of jazz and rock into that genre. since the 80s, the use of technology became gradually apparent in his compositions, whist not diminishing the importance of the human factor and the creative involvement of the performer. . today, he is striving for simplicity, trying to express the most, using the least, providing the context for this release. from the subtle ambience of title track Òif not now whenÓ, to the intense and confronting sound on Òall the blue skiesÓ, katsoulis and his accompanying musicians deliver a diverse and contemporary work with a level of sophistication that will challenge the current electronic musical landscape. the purity of sound in stand out track ÔtoreÕ is juxtaposed by the dark and gritty Ògrand delusionsÓ, a remarkably modern composition which sounds like it has been composed for a berlin techno club, from a man we suspect has never been to one. Ôslipping beautiesÕ, the most revered of katsoulisÕ back catalogue (recently remixed by young marco) is given an organic and intelligent reinterpretation for 2016. the haunting and provocative vocal performance by anna linardou on ÔzarrinÕ leads the record down an even more emotive and provocative path.

pophop looks like a pirate, and what he launches from his music studio sounds like pirate ships. on board of these ships there s always a very colorful, exotic bunch of personalities. they are the multicultural characters of the original tracks from all corners of the world. under the command of pophop they sail straight towards the eye of the thunderstorm, which means the heart of the dancefloor. it s the place where he feels home. little by little pophop accumulated so many remixes, edits and own tracks that they fill a whole treasure chest. that s exactly what you get: a treasure chest full of dancefloor gold, and a string of pearls that is a mixed version of all these precious grooves.

aufgenommen in der grafschaft durham, wurden sounds, die in der umgebung aufgefangen wurden, ein teil der musik. regen wird in wei§es rauschen verwandelt, an einer stelle eine melodielinie, die von einem star nachgeahmt wird das ergebnis endloser prozesse und zyklen. die techniken, die bei der schaffung verwendet werden, spiegeln allegorisch diese prozesse. arpeggios entwickeln sich und sind miteinander verbunden. die zufŠlligkeit wurde unter verwendung von zwei Šhnlichen paaren von synthesizern eingebracht, so dass ihre zyklen sich stŠndig verŠndern und natŸrlich entwickeln. embers anfang und ende erscheinen gleich, so dass es endlos laufen kann. die 2xlp 180g vinyl edition wurde erstellt, damit der hšrer das album ohne pausen auf zwei turntables mischen kann. das album artwork selbst ist eine interpretation der musik, um mit einem anderen medium die welt aus einem anderen blickwinkel zu betrachten

peripheral minimal is proud to announce the forthcoming album, aus den anti-imperialistischen tagebu&#776,,,chern , by in namen des volkes. indv is the brainchild of hamburg resident matthias schuster (also of bal pare, das institut,geisterfahrer and others), and creates a more heavy-weight style of minimal synth in the spirit of d.a.f., or even early front 242. the tracks were taken directly off cassettes and reworked with added vocals, whilst maintaining the original 80s recording techniques of 4-track and purely analogue instrumentation, strictly no plug-ins or digitalism here! matthias has been actively producing complex synthetic sounds since the late 1970s, having released seminal albums and singles on respected labels such as, plastic frog, minimal wave and medical records. his passion for all things analogue seems to be irrepressible, devoting a considerable amount of time to myriad projects each with their own unique qualities and sonics. he musically switches from neue deutsche welle stylings, to minimal synth and proto-ebm with great dexterity and a rare continuing dedication. the album is presented in a luxurious digipak and limited to 300 copies. recorded between 1980 - 2015. artwork by kilgore trout.

a year after their impressive last album burn it down, detroit techno legends octave one are back with a nine track double ep that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves. entitled love by machine, the albums name is a nod to the fact that the burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. that is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the 80s, most often releasing on their own 430 west label, which is where they appear again here.

electro sounds by akase

auf ulrich schnauss 5tem studio-album -no further ahead than today- regieren einmal mehr die elektronisch eingespielten ambient-pop-hymnen, die lŠngst zu seinem markenzeichen geworden sind. diese sollten fans von kŸnstlern wie jon hopkins und brian eno interessieren. schnauss selbst ist umtriebig - seit 2014 ist er keyboarder bei tangerine dream, produziert unter eigenem namen remixes fŸr pop-kŸnstler wie depeche mode, pet shop boys, todd terje und bryan ferry und hat gerade fŸr die decca-compilation re:works bachs -prelude in c- neu in szene gesetzt. -no further ahead than today- ist klar mehr pop als ambient. starke melodien stehen im vordergrund, die stŸcke sind mit rhythmen unterlegt, zuweilen gar mit gesang begleitet, eine hymnische note ist immer prŠsent. spŠtestens seit seinen beiden solo-alben, die bei dem deutschen label city center offices erschienen, gilt schnauss als ein elektroniker, der manche tugenden des britischen indie-shoegaze-sounds auf seine klangvorstellungen ŸbertrŠgt.

they differ from the french song scenery with their electronic sounds inherited from the french touch, their love for funk and disco, and a hint of symphonic orchestra. if you listen to a track, you can hear the influences of the french artists michel legrand, daft punk, gainsbourg or air.

iokoi s debut album ÇliquefyÈ unfolds into the waving territories of #hypercyberealism, where physical and virtual spaces interweave. the dancing ÇselfÈ modulates trough reflections, creating floating and drifting instances of identity. iokoi is a blur. she plays with the barriers of reality and unconsciousness, creating a surreal performance in which she negotiates her identity, and enters a dialogue with the audience. she confronts the usual with capricious textures, oblique sounds and a subliminal voice.

sweet addiction is yuksekÕs great studio comeback. its 5 elegant tracks signal his return as a main player. the maxi, which prefigures a 3rd album, features the greek singer monika (make it easy) and the duo her (on the1st single, sweet addiction). yuksekÕs characteristic sound, midway between post-disco, house and pop, shines through on its various tracks. even more than on his last album, living on the edge of time, yuksek shows his talent as a singer. his new melodies are sunnier than before, his beats and production more subtle. airy, but still conveying a touch of hedonism in its most club-friendly sounds, this ep is a foretaste of a sparkling new opus. bio : at the start of the 2000s, yuksek released a series of maxis and then two albums: away from the sea (2009) and living on the edge of time (2011).those records laid the foundations of a sound that uncompromisingly combined pop, disco and electro. then in 2013, he set up his own label: partyfine. it is now home to artists such as clarens, weekend affair, get a room!, jean tonique, juveniles,tepr and villa.

an epic from rod modell aka deepchord
the first solo album from rod modell (deepchord) in nearly 10 years, following up 2007 s -incense & blacklight- comes in lush form with, -mediterranea-. clocking in at 72 minutes, this cerebral epic reveals a sense of timelessness and stillness, an exquisite portrayal of reflection that is sonically enriching and emotionally engaging. opening with field recordings conducted while abroad in the islands of spain, sculpts a sublime sense of nuance that creeps into fore as time passes, gradually enveloping and evolving into what sounds as an orchestra playing from the fathomless ends of the ocean. the quiet jazz induced snare percussion honors the melody hidden deep beneath the surface. congas and tribal rhythms accentuate its colorful and vibrant dream-like melodies that slowly expose themselves into the mix. haunting, alluding to the symphonic, its emotional depth shift gradually, revealing the underlying, subconscious tonal colors. the magic and lushness of the strings, the beautiful resonance of the violin and the love felt in each key stroke tugs right at the heart strings. to us here at echospace, this may be the most beautiful and inviting piece we ve ever heard from rod, absolutely stunning!

it was fitting that brazilian-born, austria-based artist joyce muniz broke through in an era characterised by the cross-pollination and globalisation of music. initially combining the sounds and rhythms of her home country with contemporary european electronic sounds, she later morphed into a house / techno producer of the highest calibre. along the way she worked with the likes of maya jane coles and viennese legends kruder & dorfmeister and released on influential imprints like 2020 vision and shir khanÕs exploited. itÕs the latter which has been her main platform for releasing music since 2011 and where she now unleashes her full-length debut album, made in vienna.

being pioneers with a new album created in no more than 6 months, the orb are bound to be exposed to fan expectations running high, while quizzical questions about little fluffy clouds and the good old times take over. it s especially jarring as the duo of accomplished soundsmiths alex paterson and thomas fehlmann has become known for its genre-bending curiosity and surprising sonic detours, exploring experimental soundscapes as well as club-friendly beats. the funny thing is, though, that whatever the context, you know a track from the orb when you hear it. case in point: cow / chill out, world!, their latest full-length offering - a masterful ambient album that branches out in many directions, but unmistakably sounds like the orb in either ear (and probably to your third ear, too).

amazing sounds from this great accordeon player from cabo verde! lp gatefold with liner notes in 1997, a quiet, unassuming man of 59 years old named victor tavares better know as bitori walks into a studio for the very first time to record a masterpiece which many cabo verdean consider to be the best funan‡ album ever made. bitori s musical adventure had begun long before this point. it was 1954 when he embarked on a journey across the seas to the island of sao tomŽ & principe. the young mans hope was to return to cabo verde with an accordion.

shir khans exploited recordings has always stood out as a label with serious ambitions. from the consistent quality of its prolific output to its early championing of many a dance music star to its diverse array of sounds, it has felt like a highly accomplished offering even since its earliest days. now one of house musics biggest labels, it has come a long way since its humble beginnings in berlin. dancing & romancing gives a snapshot of the imprints last five years, charting its story from contender to heavyweight in stunning fashion.

cd digipack edition ... mit -fixion- hat trentem¿ller einen schlŸssigen nachfolger zu -lost- (2013) erschaffen. -lost- verlieh den erstmals auf dem klassiker -into the great wide yonder- (2010) entworfenen, dŸsteren klanggemŠlden nicht nur neue facetten, es vermittelte ebenfalls die packende wirkung trentem¿llers als liveband. auf -fixion- findet die fŸr den dŠnischen kŸnstler typische melancholie in einer einzigartigen, dunklen und romantischen stimmung nun eine gereifte form. anstatt sich neu erfinden zu wollen, nutzt trentem¿ller seine jŸngste veršffentlichung, um bisher ungeschliffene elemente seines sounds zu einem organischen und geschlossenen, geradezu songorientierten werk zusammenzufŸgen. die wie natŸrlich gewachsene struktur des albums wurzelt noch immer in der leidenschaft des produzenten und kŸnstlers fŸr experimente. leichthŠndig vermengt trentem¿ller einflŸsse und genres, ohne seiner einzigartigen, manchmal fordernden tonsprache untreu zu werden. jeder track auf -fixion-, egal ob voller minimalistisch anschwellender synthie-flŠchen oder treibender elektropunk, erhŠlt seine form durch bewusst eingesetzte melodische vielschichtigkeit. -dieses mal sollte mein musikalisches universum mehr raum besitzen. ich wollte es gewisserma§en auf seine essentiellen bestandteile verdichten und doch all die details behalten, die nur beim aufmerksamen hšren bemerkbar sind-, sagt trentem¿ller.

good music and culture: rare latin sounds from across the americas

one plus one/indecisive is the 7inch release from the debut ep by melbourne band the do yo thangs a collection of sensual slow jams and bumping future soul dominated by rich, four-voice harmonies. one plus one is equal parts performance and programming, drawing from a broad palette of live instruments and electronic sounds. at the front, hugh and audrey alternate lead vocal duties, supported by harmony singers maddie otto and tiaryn griggs. backing them, the guitar sound is classic soul but the plethora of synthesizers and 808 kick drums is definitely not, nodding equally to vangelis or hiatus kaiyote. the more you listen, the more intricacy is discovered. the writing uses jazz elements and odd rhythmic devices, but it s all tucked away - theres nothing that intrudes into the foreground or interferes with the song s abilities to speak to an audience

songs without words, suggestive and emotional transparency and connection, contemplation and departure, meditation and attack: this music fascinates from the very beginning. it has no need to boast or become talkative, but stays true to itself as it casually develops its poignant pulse and lets it grow, and grow. the web of sounds soon begins to radiate from within, it inspires images in oneÕs head, and invites to musing and introspection. against the background of a wide horizon the details of their music join, develop a life of their own, and lift off to collective flights of ideas. this music is an invitation to listen without prejudice, offering a way to get lost in dreams while, at the same time, remaining solidly grounded and completely awake

die us-amerikanische electronica-kŸnstlerin olga bell (gleichzeitg auch ein mitglied von dirty projectors) veršffentlicht nach -diamonite- (2011) und -krai- (2014) nun ihr drittes solo-album. -tempo- beinhaltet gastauftritte der sŠngerin sara lucas (callers) sowie der langjŠhrigen kŸnstlerkollegen jason nazary und gunnar olsen. -dieses album ist erst fŸr den kšrper, dann fŸr den geist-, erklŠrt bell, die -tempo- angefangen hat zu schreiben, direkt nachdem sie den film paris is burning gesehen hatte. jeder song steht in einer beziehung zum spezifischen rhythmus und kšrper, beinflusst durch das tempo des tages, durch das wetter und das licht. die zehn songs sind durch old-school club-musik, west-coast hip hop und portishead beeinflusst. experimentelle sounds treffen auf geschmeidige, catchy melodien. das ganze album ist absolut originell, vibrierend und sinnlich. ein tipp fŸr alle fans von bjšrk, st. vincent, feist, sharon van etten, chairlift!

anfang april veršffentlicht ninja tune das neue album des klanggenies ash koosha. zu sagen, dass ash koosha, ein im iran geborener und in london lebender electronic-musiker ist, kratzt lediglich an der oberflŠche dessen, was es Ÿber diesen bemerkenswerten mann zu wissen gibt. ein synŠsthetiker, der farben als tšne sieht, ein virtual reality pionier, ein software humanist, ein politischer kŠmpfer, ein ehemaliger rockmusiker und student der klassischen musik es gibt so viele seiten von ihm, wie es facetten in seiner fraktalen, komplexen, au§erordentlichen musik gibt. koosha arbeitet hauptsŠchlich mit seinen eigenen field recordings, behandelt jede gesampelte quelle als physikalisches objekt, er quetscht, streckt, verzerrt und formt soundeinheiten, bevor er einen hintergrund aus klassischer musik persisch und westlich hinzufŸgt, sicher auch ein †berbleibsel aus seiner zeit am teheran conservatory of music. das ergebnis strukturiert und formt er zu ergreifenden, originellen und oft wunderschšnen bewegungen ein prozess, den er als finden von geometrie in sounds bezeichnet. koosha hat schon mehr getan und erlebt, als die meisten kŸnstler in ihrer gesamten lebenszeit: so sa§ er im iran wegen seiner musik im gefŠngnis und musste in gro§britannien asyl suchen

* this is the seventh surgeon album.
* -while exploring new production techniques using old and unlikely hardware, the results were so unusual that i really had the sense that these pieces of equipment didn t actually create these sounds, rather they were in fact some kind of elaborate reception device that allowed me to tune into transmissions from distant galaxies. the music i could hear was actually the received transmissions of pop hits from those distant galaxies that were being played on their radio stations. i quickly recorded all that i could before losing the transmission.
* i consulted with dr andrew read, the astrophysicist with whom i recorded guitar treatments in 1999. he has worked on the discovery of the most distant galaxies and astronomical objects in the universe. together we came up with a possible list of where these musical transmissions may have come from.
