on the newest star time release, kon reworks “the bottle”. most should be familiar with this song but this gets the standard kon treatment, an intro that builds dropping into the bottle’s infamous chords bass line breakdowns and more. for the flipside kon remixes the rework for more of a housier vibe, chopping some vocal sections and some guitar ala george benson style.

the second issue of tiptop audio records attests to the labels attitude towards developing a nuanced sound set to become a standard for production.?the line-up for tiptop records includes big names of a scene now described as modular techno, which consists of a fast growing group of artists interested in expanding their compositional techniques through modular synthesizer systems. the vinyl format is a testimony to the labels dedication to produce music in a physical form. the result is a?four side, double lp packaged in original artwork (including a special poster) by italian artist matteo giampaglia, with handmade lettering by caterina scardillo. it is an invitation to a territory of oscillations, and?a trip of 10 (+ 2 extra digital) tracks that reconsiders the concept of sound design applied to electronic club music

royal athlete returns with yet another collection of loco party weapons, inspired by the hot pony club in berlin curated by vexkiddy and antoni maiovvi. first up is hot pony regular baxa, the korean disco king, offering up a cut of dubbed out funk gold with -i m not kool-. next up the man, myth and legend that is fiero, channels the spirit of -soccio- for a strong eurocrime groove with his track -standard hotel-. on the flip we open up with berlin newcomer don chrelli who s track -tonight- plays with smooth electro-boogie, spaced out fx and a killer vocoder hook. finally finishing of this wonderus ep is heartbeat stars with -obsession-. produced by everyone s favourite feline lazercat, this spaceage freestyle slayer is heavy on melody, funk and emotion. all tracks mastered with love by manmade mastering berlin.

two gold standard musical compositions i wont insult by labelling with a genre. *truth is the key* is one of my favourite tracks period, the arp solo just does it for me in every way. the vocal will be familiar as irene datcher also sang on the james mason lp (who also features on these tracks). *dreamflower* should need no introduction, famously sampled by erykah badus *didnt cha know* and many others. this is a sublime landscape is notable for ryo kawasakis dreamy guitar work, stone cold classic. both sides surprisingly have never graced the 7 inch format until now, absolutely essential 45.

one of the coolest techno labels at the moment comes with another fine release. not the standard 90s loop techno inspired tracks but nice smart raw machine driven house/techno hybrids full of warmth and energy taking us on a journey to the higher echelons of the dance floor. recommend!

lopatins präziser ansatz an komposition und kreation hat ihn zu einem der einflussreichsten und prägnantesten persönlichkeiten moderner, elektronischer klanglandschaften gemacht. so arbeitete er für viele künstler, regisseure, musiker und führende kunstinstitutionen: von sofia coppola bis ariel kleiman, von antony & the johnsons (dessen kommendes album er produzierte) bis nine inch nails, von der tate modern (london) bis zum moma (museum of modern art, new york). da dem künstler oneohtrix point never auch immer etwas geheimnisvolles anhaftet, läuft seine teaserkampagne mit einer serie an abstrakten interviews, trailern und soundfiles - so kamen bereits erste materialschnipsel als midi-dateien in umlauf. das doppel-vinyl erscheint im klappcover, downloadcode inklusive.

house is oks seventh instalment goes kraut with a three tracker from chris beiswenger formally known as tcb (the citizens band). since the split up of arto mwambe, chris has been slowly building a sound of his own. instead of sticking to standard templates he has gone deep into modular synthesis and his music can be described as futuristic, kindred and cerebral. labels such as live at robert johnson, tasteful nudes and story already recognised tcbs unique twist and rather happy songs is just another proof of his unquestionable quality. these three mid-tempo techno ballads will get your mind moving and spirit floating while your body will fall in instant trance dancing to these highly hypnotising pieces. a remix from roman flu?gel on top makes the ep a 100% frankfurt affair and when it comes to house and techno, we frankfurters take our green sauce serious, dont we? cheers, hiok team

the thirteenth release maybe unlucky for some, but not here. with label head oli furness delivering the weather underground ep featuring a shudderingly good bodyjack remix. music is love records make their own luck as always. comprising of the standard format from music is love with includes 3 tasty originals paired with a killer remix from bodyjack. the crew deliver just that.

kyle geiger returns to droid recordings for a three-track suite of techno and rhythmic experiments, jupiter storm. a1 (jupiter, hydrogen edit) builds from a rumbling kick, slowly constructing a space of delayed tones and filtered noisse pressure aimed at the dancefloor. b1 (mars) takes things for a truly unexpected turn, borrowing some of jupiter’s sonic language and reformulating a triple-metered groove with waves of noise and distortion. the title track, jupiter storm (b2) brings the full kick back into the picture riding the mars rhythms against the standard kick for a track that’s driving and infectious.

bnr präsentiert das debütalbum des venezuelanischen, in barcelona lebenden dj/produzenten cardopusher, absolvent der red bull music academy und mitbegründer des classicworks labels. inspiriert durch uk labels wie warp, rephlex, planet mu und schematic, zelebriert cardopusher einen erfrischenden blend aus frühem rave, 1990 er ebm/industrial und lofi-acid-house/techno, perfekt ausproduziert nach heutigem standard.

hedonism is an ethical theory that pleasure, in a sense of satisfaction of desires, is the highest good and proper aim of human life, and this seems to also be hdnsm’s ultimate musical objective. their first release debuted as a kickstarter of “variant ep” v.a. series, showcasing three very different yet highly contemplative creations from cumsecade, anestie gomez and man spider. hdnsm flips the coin and for the second episode of “variant” series it lands on two very solid, incredibly moody and extensive works from fresh talents shcaa and cleymoore. the ep features two very different tracks yet they share the same minimalistic core. both works are blessed with intricate micro-drum arrangements for those feeling groove hungry whilst still standing tall in the experimental abstract realm pleasing those who crave unusual frequencies. a-side’s “masquée” is one of shcaa’s typical rides between sound and silence and it is hard to find another artist who understands sound gaps between grooves better than shcaa does. with his signature vocals and an incredibly delicious duality between acoustic instrumentalism and electronic slamming, this is a groovy, highly deep, very intelligently arranged piece. the flip-side “nebula”, signed by pluie/noir’s boss cleymoore, is a tip of an iceberg when it comes to the art of stripping down. in an apparently thin canvas of minimal drum arrangements there’s a vast amount of sound frequencies underneath a steady ever-kicking groove, tricking your mind into thinking that you’re hearing less than you actually perceive. nebula is hypnotic and dense but focused and sophisticatedly groovy. like the repetitive vocals you’ll hear throughout the b-side, this v.a. sticks to your mind like an addiction of some sort and pushes hdnsm to a new standard of avant-garde and forward-thinking attitude. as before, this vinyl only release comes in a gorgeous cover featuring a painting from max binski and the number of copies available is limited

tensnake s standard in the end (i want you to cry) release gets not one, but seven remixes. a nod to the good old remix double pack craze of the nineties, you will find them spread out over two plates. ranging from a classic tiger & woods treatment to prins thomas quirkiness via lone s happiness, two versions by shan, the timid dj oyster as well as pete herberts & dicky trisco s respectful re-arrangement, this one has it all: disco, techno, jungle (alomost!), house, cheese & chocolate!

daniel.t. has been subtly making waves over the past few years as one half of the la duo cosmic kids with releases on labels including throne of blood, let s play house and dfa. a record collector and selector at heart, 2015 has seen him flesh out his solo productions with world-leaning contributions to chit chat s brazilian tinged 12 and american standard s african summer stunner. young adults brings daniel into the fold for his debut tetrachromat mini-lp spanning a sprawling spectrum of sounds, but unified by a signature west-coast sheen. opener mission hill morning stretches its arms in the early am mist, tetrachromat jogs steadily toward the horizon and planetesimal accelerates the mph in the drop top down pch. on the flip, laced takes a smoke break down a dusty dirt road, akoussah sprinkles some sultry spice and the sun & the sky sits back while the sea sips up the last remaining daylight.

alongside fellow members of berlins janus collective, recently behind nights at berghain and corsica studios, m.e.s.h. is known for his futurist approach to club dynamics and production. on piteous gate, tightly gridded and sculpted sound juts up against loose-wristed improvisation, automated processes, and collage. standard club syncopation is twisted by sliding tempos, cut and paste time signatures, and indeterminate pacing. its sound design and compositions are ornate, even courtly, with neo-feudal moods offset by the recurrence of hydraulic hiss and flanger. the vinyl lp includes a download code for the full album.

the original version is nothing short of a classic, but its as if the song had never been invited to a louie vega post-midnight global extravaganza. was the song not aware that spellbound dancing and high bpms were the standard for house music? normally, such a blaring disregard for nightlife decorum would relegate a song to the pits of sonic hell, but we’re talking about george clinton here! the original opens up with a g-funk groove that screams westside and lowriders. the listener is then blessed with clinton as he adds his sage, soulful and pimpadelic vocals, complemented by funkadelic singers asking him about the pains of the funk. the semblance of a beat that could drive the dancefloor into the morning hours is there, but in no way has it blossomed into its full glory. enter louie vega.

returning to hakt after his 2013 single n1, cale parks continues to chart a compelling new path with the lagoon fool ep, his second foray into solo production. as the current drummer for yeasayer and a prolific collaborator both in studio and live, cale’s creativity knows no genre. the five tracks on offer sneak from the beaten path, complicating signifiers of style, gently tweaking the standard grammar of club music, and remaining accessible all the while. assembled in his brooklyn studio, but sonically sourced from his grandparents’ tennessee farm, lagoon fool carries that sublime, somehow inviting ethos of the appalachian range. airy and tectonic at once, impeccably detailed, yet easily taken as a whole, it’s a rich, deceptively layered listen. as a skilled songwriter and a produce quickly proving his caliber, cale has composed a suite that demands multiple listens and a place at peaktime just the same

sechs jahre nach seinem debütalbum *butter*, in denen der fleissige produzent u.a. mit seinem projekt tnght (zusammen mit partner lunice) vorführte, wie man edm und hiphop zu einem neuen modernen clubsound vermengt, bietet sein zweitling *lantern* alles, was wir uns gewünscht, aber niemals erwartet hätten. *lantern* ist ein fusion-album, das alles kristallisiert, woran hudson bislang gearbeitet hat, ein entwurf seines masterplans. eine moderne fusion von avantgardistischem ansatz und urbaner pop-sensibilität, intensiv und dynamisch orchestriert. ein zeitloser, in die zukunft blickender, neuer massstab für pop und soul musik. herausragende beispiele dafür sind die potentiellen singletracks *very first breath* mit dem französischen r&b-sänger irfane, der chorale hurricane namens *warriors* mit dem kalifornischen mysterium ruckazoid an seiner seite, sowie die elegische symphonie *indian steps* mit antony hegarty on vocals.

welcome to the dark side. where chaos is the constant, distortion forms the standard and frontiers are built out of opaque shadows. mumbling voices are hunting you through a maze of creepy synthesizer sounds. welcome to antifuse. with their latest release, the berlin-based duo nerkkirn are following their path of experimental techno sounds, this time leading into dark shades of whirring electronic sounds. by creating a gloomy, yet groovy tune, antifuse builds up a perfectly conductive path within the unique sound system of snork enterprises. like a mysterious rollercoaster, four versatile tracks are pulling you into a vague ride through various spheres of electronic sounds. starting off with high speed into the deep and gloomy mines of underground techno, dipode unfolds its dark side in full blast. moving forward, antifuse chases you upside down on a roaring bass line merging into electronichangover. there, in a reduced atmosphere of sound, subtle tunes still forcefully keep pushing you through an odd darkness until everything, then, flows into a slight glow at the end of the tunnel - reversebias.

something stirs in the east. re-edits and reworks exploring beyond the standard disco fodder. synth pop, cold wave, new wave, minimal wave, industrial, new beat, soundtracks and a touch of the original balearics no boundaries ideals.

the a1 was never a big surprise. mattias fridell s consumed for profit was one of the tracks of the year, and surely fridell s personal best track, and was played by anyone who at least plays a bit of techno in their sets. the usual fridell quality of standard and a tight synth line! a2 sees french artist electric rescue s quarries in the a. mochi remix. a peak-time banger, slapping the synth stabs right into your face. this one always gets the floor jumping. the b-side kicks off with label-head advance human s pure , stripping things down to some essential moody but slamming techno, right up there amongst his best productions. b2 has +platform s mosses closing things off, and as we came to know and love from +platform, it s out there, dubby and dreamy techno, born for those deeper berghainesque floors.

opening up with the deep space atmospherics of quiet life the album immediately transports you to another world. the title track is then a melodically lush and uplifting affair with curious synth patterns ebbing and flowing beneath crisp percussion. tracks like we search for answers combine organic, wooden textures with more synthetic and trippy synth sounds that are as far away from your standard sample packs as can be imagined. across the course of the album there are dark, moody and emotive pieces like worship (previously released in extended form on the mdl02 single) featuring qzen who reads a poem by patience agbabi in tantalising fashion as well as heavyweight, dubbed out techno groovers like shadow theory. make it true (of which seth troxler will be releasing an extended edit on his play it say it label, complete with high profile remixes) is another great collab featuring the vocals of jojo de freq, and the track itself is a harmonious, radiant house jam that is humid and human in equal measure. the otherworldly, snaking feel free again showcases berkson & what s ability to coax alluring emotions out of their machines and closer logan five wraps things up in suitably spangled, textural fashion. despite the fact much of this album will work on a dancefloor in the hands of the right dj, there s an invention and musicality to it that renders the whole thing hugely listenable away from the club. a testament to berkson & what s analogue invention and fluid ideas, keep up appearances really is a master electronic oeuvre.

as we have come to expect, pluie/noir again challenges what can be achieved within the parameters of dance music by empowering its carefully selected epertoire of artists. as standard, the album will come as a limited pressing, this time around of transparent green vinyl, with a beautiful hand-drawn black and white artwork cover, ensuring this is as collectible as it is listenable.

following on from her highly acclaimed ett lp on editions mego klara lewis presents 4 new works which further her signature explorations of field recordings, electronics, rhythm, sound and atmosphere. here lewis exemplifies her uncanny ability to harness the world outside in order to reconstruct and re-present this as amorphous musical matter. these 4 new tracks exude a certain ambiguity where standard signposts such as rhythm, ambience, texture, light and dark remain as elusive as they are present. whilst bypassing passive or photographic representation of the source material these works withhold a strong emotional quality resulting in a confident and at times brutal musical manifestation. as suggested by the title, msuic resides in a zone at once familiar and slightly off kilter, a world of lewis devising in which the listener is warmly encouraged to enter and explore. msuic is another superb collection of music as fantastic matter.

glorious and epic two tracker vinyl for bosconi records, this time by our favourite detroit techno duo the oliverwho factory. we used to be big fans of their madd chaise works and latest rush hour and planet e were awesome, but that percussive sound was different from what we knew from their past. we wanted them to give another chance to their more jacked out musical side in memory of the two masterpieces (and bosconi soundsytem favourite waxes) those were >the rhythm< and >the rain 5th wave<, and so we proudly got another timeless, soulfull, spacey and futuristic techno anthem called >take me away< darryl with his magic hands has created an ultra effective combination of energetic and groovy pumpin kick with a tight funky bassline substaining an upbuilding layers of dreamy synths and stormy noises while the voice of lashone gives that unique colour and atmosphere to the track that all the oliverwho fans love, dictating their original trademark sound. on the flip, takin inspiration from tama sumo panorama bar mix samplin the ow, we got an upbeat version of their slowmotion gem called >together<, that this time, thanks to altered states re touch of darryl and shone has become a proper and fat techno arena bomb, now just for the pleasure of absolutely everybody. you wont miss it, for sure
