after its initial string of records, spring theory is back with its third release of the year: the record is let me love & steal, the latest ep from avalon emerson. in the past few months, emerson has moved from san francisco to berlin and has taken in her new environment s vibrant club culture, and it shows. but this four-tracker is a far cry from the dark industrial cliches that typify foreign expectations of the german capital. instead, her cuts here carry an undertone of playful sampling that balance out the sheer power and energetic intensity of her rhythmic drive — aka its a full eps worth of hard-hitting house music with even more of her idiosyncratic flair.

for its inaugural release, spring theory has tapped san francisco producer avalon emerson for a three-track ep. its called church of somawhich, before you get any funny ideas about huxlean wonder drugs, is actually a reference to san franciscos industrial south of market district, which has been an epicenter for dance music since time immemorial. the record pays homage to her long nights spent dancing and djing in one particularly loved soma warehouse.

sheer pleasure on the new aniara....! another new artist on the swedish imprint, mountain range aka christoffer berg from g. there must be something special in the water that these guys are drinking!

der vorabtrack made to stray aus dem neuen album cold spring fault less youth schlug in der weltweiten trendszene ein wie der blitz: von pitchfork bis nme, von fact bis resident advisor überschlugen sich die aufgeregten lobeshymnen zum ersten neuen mount kimbie material seit zwei jahren. das visionäre duo, seit seinem debüt als neue vordenker in sachen elektronischer musik anerkannt, hat die schwammige schublade des post-dubstep endgültig verlassen und entflieht mit live-instrumentierung, warmen keyboardsounds und geerdeten schlagzeugbeats der enge des dance/electro-kontextes. auch die verpflichtung des enigmatischen vokalisten king krule dürfte ihren anteil daran haben. die elf neuen mount kimbie tracks wirken reifer, selbstbewusster und noch mutiger, und ihr wechsel zu warp wird ihre entwicklung hin zu noch ganz anderen klanggefilden, kontexten und konstellationen weiter beflügeln.

roberto finally debuts on be as one after having recently joined the label booking agency and main core, and he does it with style. for those that have been keeping an ear on the uk techno sound roberto should not be a new name by now, having released a series of well received eps on artform and affin, and being a resident at londons legendary fabric club.

spring toy is an elegant a-side crafted with classic house influences in mind. meandering casually before beginning its ascent into deepspace territory, detroit styled synth lines and intricate melodies hang above a funky undertone which hooks from the off. continuing its cosmic trajectory, the ep’s b-sides set their coordinates into dub techno regions. lindberg’s quirky astral synths and futuristic soundscape trigger a dream-like state…think sci-fi beams and interplanetary navigation and you’re half way there. shudder is a more up-tempo sonic excursion, propelled by its galloping techno rhythms. the ebb and flow of trippy pads and crystalline waves play to the senses.

the second in the series of 12 inch samplers featuring present and future classics from brooklyns monthly party, life, spring sampler 2012 #2 picks up where the first installment left off, deeper into the rabbits hole of the all-night underground parties at the infamous dope jams. curators and residents slow to speak offer here 3 remixes and re-imaginings of some of the finest technoid sleaze, haunted vocal anthemics and zulu-nation-endorsed hip-house perfection. spring sampler 2012 #2 is a snapshot of a life party at its most elevated, after the initiation and immersion is complete, the core party people convened, the sacramental beverages consumed and the full peak of the party unfolded in its full spectacle. previously, these exclusive versions have remained in the vault for protected and exclusive use by the life residents. made available through these limited samplers, slow to speak opens up for a rare snapshot into the heart and soul of their program—militant musical theses that drive these parties and make them something more special than the typical dance music burial rite.

nach fast einjähriger pause zu ihrer debüt platte auf traum bringt das russische duo moonbeam nun 3 neue trax auf traum heraus. viel hat sich getan in der soundästhetik die nun wärmer und weicher ist als ihr vorgänger. trotzdem haben die brüder es geschafft ihre musikalität beizubehalten. voller farben und formen sind die stücke in ihrer beschaffendheit. eine ganz farbpalette wird hier geopfert wie bei >yellow submarine< von den beatles und wirkt wie eine steilvorlage für eine visuelle umsetzung. auf der a-seite finden wir mit >slow heart< ein träumerisches aber clubbiges stück, dass sich wie in einem flüssigen oder gasförmigen zustand befindet und ständig sein Äußeres verändert, aber konkrete sprünge in der >dynamik nach vorn< umsetzt und somit über die ganze länge des stücks eine spannung aufrechterhält. >something alive< ist das reduzierteste stück bisher von moonbeam, das mit einer interessanten stop und go rhythmik arbeitet. es explodiert förmlich nach dem break, um dann wieder in einen rhythmischen track überzugehen. >springstory< auf b2 ist das heimliche a2 stück, welches unglaublich massiv daherkommt und temporeich im stil der a-seite der ersten 12inch auf traum agiert. hier passiert alles im zeitraffer tempo und mit unglaublicher energie.
