undisputed rulers of the new pop empire, kadebostany announce the release of their genre-defining new album monumental, coming march 2018. the quest to design this ultimate pop album has taken kadebostany through hills and plains the world over in search of unconventional contributors and outlandish ideas. all manner of peculiar artists were assembled to weave the intricate tapestry that is monumental, the banner for a pop empire which everyone can stand under. monumental features both newcomer and confirmed singers: delhia de france, rhita nattah, anna kova, sissi rada, kate wallace, and kadebostanys front live singer kristina.

in the world of electronic dance music, åme stand apart. since 2003, the duo of frank wiedemann and kristian beyer have cut a singular path through techno, house, minimal, ambient and more with their anthemic singles and mixes. but 2018 reveals their finest achievement yet, their debut full-length album dream house. it both sounds unmistakably like åme and unlike anything youve ever heard from the duo, an evocative home listening journey enacted after 15 years spent crafting dancefloor weapons.

-routes not roots- is the debut album by k-s.h.e (kami-sakunobe house explosion), a project from internationally celebrated producer, label owner and dj terre thaemlitz. k-s.h.e -routes not roots- combines terre thaemlitz notorious -fagjazz- sound with th

we are back in the hauptstadt (berlin capital) with the fifth installment of the * stil vor talent berlin* compilation series, which brings forth a group of old and new faces, who exclusively contributed unreleased tracks, gathered under the umbrella of one of berlins most iconic spots. frankfurter tor is the gateway to one of our favourite districts: good old friedrichshain. loud, left and a little dirty, it houses some of the cityÕs best clubs, markets and musicians, oliver koletzki included. its two towers stand as metaphorical guards to an area that has plenty to offer and asks for little in return, instantly making it feel like home. as always, music is the common denominator and oliver koletzki delivers the perfect soundtrack with this new release, while chrisse kunst renders the visuals.

*cd version with exclusive track!* after three stand out eps over the last three years for l.i.e.s. tzusing delivers his debut lp for the label. here we get seven tracks of precison crafted electronics, unmistakenly taking the artists signature industrial fueled sound and opening it up to a new dimension far beyond the typical metal beat clang. ltd edition pressing. . emotional, dark and powerful, the album title taken literally means -invincible east- based on a character (a swordsman) in a jin yong novel who must make the ultimate sacrifice to attain knowledge and transform. the narrative goes in hand with the artists observations living and travelling throughout asia and provides a haunting soundtrack for a bleak future where few dare to subvert the power structures at hand.

kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flowÉ a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing. just like the sampler and the dj before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. Ôuniverse digs deeper into the android vocal chords. the album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during berlin lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. by striking the keys, kuf squeeze out and serve up all the soul accumulated in those savory phonetic shreds.

recording and touring together on and off for several years now, sonic journeyman dj vadim and californian songwriter katrina blackstone unveil their long awaited full-length album Ôdouble sidedÕ, released on bbe music. after providing a pair of stellar guest appearances on vadim s 2014 dubcatcher album, katrina blackstone joined vad on tour and the duo have been steadily laying down tracks ever since. eschewing samples in favour of drum machines, guitars and a dizzying array of synths, vadim s compositions on Ôdouble sidedÕ range from dubby downtempo grooves to upbeat afroboogie business. katrina s crystal clear vocals, catchy melodies and highly relatable lyrics provide the perfect foil for vadim s raw productions.

say what you wanna say, but you have to give strahil velchev this: the manÕs a powerhouse. recording and playing live under the kink alias, he went on to become one of finest purveyorÕs of funk in techno and house. what it is, by definition, ainÕt exactly clear. and that is the beauty of it. kinkÕs music is unifying in the best possible way. channeling the spirit and feeling of a time where it didnÕt really matter who the faces behind the music were, kink plays with the elements of genres and sub-genres as if the future of it all is still wide-open. at the same time it could be accused of retro-fetishism, as much as the pope himself is infallible. the pure need to recreate moments, feelings and experience - rather than carbon copies of existing designs - was what started kinkÕs production work. hailing from bulgaria, it was nearly impossible to get your hands on all the records and music that fed into a system of raves, clubs and record shops that seemed far away from sofia, and financially it might as well have meant another galaxy. wanting to dj without having access to the tracks that spun the carousel meant that you had to create them yourselves. so, here we go with a private bootlegger gone public mastermind and one of the loudest voices in house, techno and beyond. from kinkÕs early productions with neville watson to his smash-hit for ovum, a cerebral album for macro, tons of remixes & tracks and his mind-bending live act, playground seems to take all that into a blender. simultaneously a sound-summary, the harvest of a field of ideas, and the exhibition of an artist in his prime, it also works as a sort of kink dictionary: avant-garde soundscapes stand next to boisterous bangers, classic club tracks and peak time emotions

after showcasing his knack for emotive productions via various eps throughout his career, including chart-topping singles on hot since 82s knee deep in sound and dave seamans selador, the swiss artist several definitions now reveals his first full-length album. it should come as no surprise that the artist found familiarity in what he calls the berlin style of electronic music and notably, that of oliver koletzkis stil vor talent. reborn after the road is an intense and emotional affair, consisting of 14 tracks crafted using field and live recordings, switching between analogue and digital to mould a sonic atmosphere that emblazons the artists core ethos. although the personal experience that sparked the inspiration for the lp is far from pleasant, several definitions style is audibly resolute. reborn after the road, the albums eponymous track, creates a fitting intro for the healing process that is to follow. its airy pads and majestic strings sonically stand at the epicenter of the expressive album. several definitions continues to explore these sounds on vaporous slices like pontce?ard 32 or the more acidical last breath. the mellifluous, feminine vocals of lameduza on learn to feel and her, as well as spanish singer goldsuns crooner talents on the introspective trust, on the other hand, showcase several definitions ability to work the human voice into his musical explorations. taking introspection one step further towards darker realms, senelity then feels like a rite of passage into the deeper and more intense segment at the albums core. over you briefly signals a turning point, with its alarm-like synths and grave leads, which is then followed by the glitchy resistance on modular spaces.

after recent releases on the save fabric album, alola & jack trax, mr.c has delved deep into his musical psyche to deliver an acid master-class that s influenced by ska, dub, electro, italo disco, acid house & tech house, bringing his roots up to date with this massive modern production. incidents is about things that can happen while clubbing. down-tempo tracks entry search, a civil dose & quick exit will dub you out. slightly quicker acid fever & stand up will completely groove you & dance tracks do it for me, disco rebellion, shape your dreams, raid, ripple effect & master of the universe will make you dance like no-ones watching. incidents is the complete electronic album that pulls all the punches, gives a nod to the past & yet has it s feet firmly embedded in the future. this is easily mr.cs best solo work to date & essential listening.

following last yearÕs much-acclaimed solo album Òmondo alteradoÓ (hippie dance 08), original pachanga boy and hippie dance mentor rebolledo returns to the limelight with the jam-packed mondo re-alterado (hippie dance 10), tapping into his vast and varied network of friends and fellow soundsmiths. artists such as superpitcher, dj tennis, maceo plex, red axes, fango or fantastic twins deliver stunning takes on rebolledosÕ unique signature sound, creating a full suite of exclusive remixes, cover versions and reinterpretations.
from the super-energetic club rumblings of maceo plexÕs discotico plexico to dj tennisÕ dreamy pimiento drive version of a numb gas to the future or fantastic twinsÕ party bomb fantastic pow pow, the journey through mondo re-alterado is full of twists and turns Ð a world where an epic, cinematic soundscape such as superpicherÕs rainboy super space sits comfortably alongside the claustrophobic, punishing banger that fango sculpted from stand-out cut Òpow powÓ.

meanwhile, red axes turn the casual narrative of Òlife is strange, life is hard, life is greatÓ into a bouncing workout Ð a great companion piece to want, danny daze and shokhÕs propulsive, jagged dub version of Òfears come trueÓ. other highlights include jšrg burger aka the black frame with the lush black rainbow woman, paulorÕs country rock extravaganza discotico desertico and not one, but two excellent contributions from former italians do it better honcho mike simonetti. itÕs a magical, surprising ride that finds beauty in contrasts Ð while staying tuned to rebolledoÕs spirit of adventure and powerful sense of style.

d‰m-funk is the kind of guy who seems like he d make great company: laid-back, affable, personable. but to truly get the guy, to really understand him, is to know a deep love of music like no other. dam s contribution to the dj-kicks series gives you an opportunity to do just that. it s a snapshot view into the mind of the pioneer of modern-funk musicÉ dj-kicks invites you to get to know the man behind the shades. dam makes a lifetime of digging and absorbing music that feels as laid-back as the santa ana breeze. years ago, he coined the term modern funk to give context to his music. the elements of the synth-heavy and multi-layered style are gloriously displayed on dj-kicks. -modern-funk is a combination of all the sounds on the mix,- he explains. -funk, boogie, electro, house, modern-soul, ambient tonesÉ a push and pull of nostalgia and progressiveness...- at a satisfying 19 songs, d‰m-funk s dj-kicks lets grooves breathe. this is a mix to happily get lost within, a document in vibe. unexpected contemporary joints mingle with lost gems from unlikely places. the exclusive d‰m-funk production -believer- makes its debut on dj-kicks, an extensive instrumental composition that on it s own could only be classified as signature modern-funk. the mix also includes dam s excellent collaboration with nite jewel, as nite-funk, on -can u read me?-

dieses album hat einen weiten entstehungsweg hinter sich, da seine tracks fŸr viele jahre ein teil von mir waren. als ich letztendlich anfing, ihnen die nštige aufmerksamkeit zu widmen, konnte ich sie nach und nach zu dem zu formen, was sie heute sind. einzelne fragmente und elemente bildeten sich nach und nach heraus, nachdem ich ihnen raum zur entfaltung gab. der gesamtprozess war herausfordernd und manchmal auch schwierig, aber die titel verlangten einfach nach ihrer entstehung.

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.

for the next installment in our watergate mix series, we turn to two close friends of the club who also happen to be some of the most sought after selectors today, the dynamic polish duo catz n dogz. the story of the fabled friendship goes back over 10 years when they first played the club inciting the first anecdote in a series of countless returns to both the main and water floors as well as our open air summer events and club showcases throughout europe. within the mix, the pair perfectly encapsulate the vibe of each respective watergate events environment proving they are masters of their craft. over the span of 27 tracks in just over an hours time, catz n dogz showcase their affinity, prowess, and knowledge of all things house. from beginning to end, the mix dives into every corner the genre has to offer, merging classic sounds with future concepts where the sounds of legends like dj garth, joakim, kalexi, jackmate, and mr. g
