dachshund started to produce techno music in 2006. influenced by his background as a dub and d&b producer, his sound is energic and groovy. today, dachshund is one of the finest example of genevas top quality minimal techno scene. he released most of his tracks on different labels such as num records, platzhirsch, mental groove, 60sec, and many others. he plays live and dj set as well and knows exactly how to run a dancefloor. his releases >somehow<, >water game<, have been acclaimed by the whole scene. for his thrilling and creepy tracks he uses many spatial effects and therefore he creates very abstract sound buildings that are standing immovable in a well structured landscape of weird minds.

waves of human suffering is exactly what the title implies, a non stop assault to the senses decrying the horrors humanity ritualistically bestows upon itself. but amidst the controlled chaos created by benumb leader pete ponitkoff and vulgar pigeons alumni jeff lenormand and john gotelli, if you listen beyond the walls of intense riffing, double time percussion and hardcore ethos, you can clearly hear that agenda of swine optimistically retains hope for future change. the best grinding metal has always been punk as fuck!

altered moods recordings, the label that explored the ocean floor with its two previous releases, presents its third, cosmic soul with brad peterson at the helm as trackmachine. mr. peterson is a long standing member of the amr collective, having contributedmaterial to amrs debut lp, love...lost and found. under this new moniker, he explores galactic deepness...

great remix package for threeminutes featuring grammy winning jazz vocal legend and last standing beatnick mark murphy on mic duty. madrid de los austrias deliver in fine style with a superb quirky house mix while the great prolific quantic adds some b boy minded dope jazz beats. dublex inc rework applies some fat electronic boogie beats and fake fellini rounds up this nice package with a bass heavy 4/4 take.

both tracks written and produced by chris liebing at studio one. (a1) supported by ali (deepdish)!! the a-side >bangpop< is at first obviously driven by a central bassdrum. little by little, it steps into the background and makes room for the fine and striking, hypnotic sequences. that sounds good already, but gets polished by a snaredrum that simply makes you happy. a little hit? we wouldn t be surprised. on the b-side we are facing >puckelbop<, a 12 minutes long monster. a good example for how efficiently a bassdrum and a sequence can clear an aisle into a forest. no tree will remain standing – theyll move! clr20

support by adam beyer, karotte and sven vath!! intacto comes with >intacto on stage<, a serie of intacto artists on one record. part 1 is done by polder and dave ellesmere.dave ellesmere, known from german true electronic dance imprint kanzleramt, where he released two albums. after daves first release on intacto >standing in line< ellesmere is back with a absolute monster track >today, tomorrow and yesterday<. polder aka lauhaus & david labeij, two absolute talented producers from amsterdam whos previous releases >strange ways< and >circulo polar< have been played out by the likes of richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos, sven vath, karotte and many more. polder yet with a ultra funky groover >dirty ol bird<

brill deep minimal detroit techno (dub) a la hardwax / basic channel... b2 track >minus< is actually a re-release from the 1998 >ll001< single, long out of print. since there was a steady (nearly monthly) request to make this track available again, it has been remastered and included to match the other tracks on this single. the aim of this release is to prove that a certain approach to composing and sequencing with particular sound can end in a timeless production. at the end of this process it should be standing against the times, playable in 1989, 1997, 2007 or still in 2020. individual production methods or media stay behind, as the artistic vision of shaping and mastering the sound come thru. already playing on heavy rotation in berlins clubs by local djs who got whitelabels or cdrs, this 12inch will once more become a classic to people who dont look for hype or trendy fashion but lasting sound quality.

this compilation spanning a period of 37 years features burnt friedmanÕs releases and edits thereof from vinyl-only labels (latency (fr), marionette (ca), dekmantel (nl) amongst others) plus 4 hitherto unreleased tracks, making them available on digital formats. friedmanÕs music from 1980 to 2017 covers a broad spectrum of played and programmed rhythmic styles that traverse not only club music from techno, electro and dub, but, above all, trace friedmanÕs own artistic development. a trajectory that owes a lot to his long-standing collaboration with can drummer jaki liebezeit, who died at the age of 79 in 2017. like liebezeit, friedman already explored even and uneven rhythms back in the late 1980s. this selection of 17 tracks documents this pursuit while bringing rough or discarded tracks to light, which did not fit onto any album or were intended for the nonplace label. the compilation runs the entire gamut of his work on percussion, keyboard, samplers and toys of all kinds using various production methods (tape, atari, midi, sampler, hard disk recording, digital audio tape). studio work (instant-composition, programming and recording) underwent major technological changes and revolutions in the 1980s and 1990s, but friedmanÕs distinctive signature style prevails throughout. surprisingly danceable tracks, interrupted by alien atmospheric periods, defy any genre.

a diverse selection of remixers from todayÕs generation of detroit producers and musicians, looking back at the immense legacy of funkadelic and re-imagining it for now, with the re-interpreters chosen to prismatically represent the vastness of funkadelicÕs genre-bending music.

long awaited perlon compilation

recognition opens up its archives and invites to a futuristic sentimental journey with respective stages set by the 9702. album contains a set of varied tracks recorded within five years after warsaw labels launch and its first release. extended compositions and short improvised sound notes resemble eccentric propositions of such labels as (early) warp or rephlex, standing next to melancholy-saturated minimalistic techno and abstract collage structures which prove out to share many characteristics of clicks n cuts movement of the second half of the 1990s. usage of human voice samples is an outstanding feature of many of these archive materials. entirety of mastered-anew content encompassing both records, contains all principal trademarks which distinguish jacek sienkiewiczs creations and his label recognition - utmost care about depth of sound sphere, experimental inclinations and focus on complex motoric aspect of the rhythmical base. this collection of music from recognitionÕs first five years, surprising for its freshness and sheer impetus, is a must for all fans of jacek sienkiewicz and polish electronic music of the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. in connection with publication of yet-unheard tracks, jacek shares another slice of yet-unknown artistic vision, connecting sound with other media such as image, light and movement. recognition xx audio-video performance comes out in summer as a result of this retrospective look.

nice balearic and house tunes!

a collaboration between aphex twin (richard d. james) and µÐziq (mike paradinas), mike & rich - Õexpert knob twiddlersÕ was made back in 1994. richard edited the tracks into shape later in 1996 with his new apple mac computer and it was released later that year on rephlex, the label he co-owned and which released the first two albums by µ-ziq. this new reissued version has been carefully cleaned up, re-edited and remastered from the original dat tapes, put into a more fitting order and, more excitingly, seven new bonus tracks and alternative versions have also been added. the album was recorded over a few days during the 1994 world cup, back when richard lived in a big shared flat in stoke newington. richard had tried to collaborate with a few other likeminded artists but something clicked when mike and rich worked together and the sessions have a unique feel, playful and at times actually drunk. these are fun experiments in the spirit of lighthearted moog pop and ripe 70s british tv themes, standing out from the po-faced electronica of the time with a garish glee. the record was made on what is now seen as pretty primitive gear - an atari, roland mks-80, memorymoog, roland r8 and a handful of samples on a casio fz-10m - but itÕs to their credit that it resonates well with the hardware workouts coming out today. there s a broadminded but sloppy funk to the record, even whistling, singing and harpsichord in reg and wonky beat pile-ons in jelly fish . there s latin piano and wheezy drunken techno in ÔvodkaÕ, or the sleepy spaced out ambience of Ôbu bu bu ba with its barely contained laughter which seems to reflect the absurdity. the new versions and bonus tracks are an absolute delight - from a trancier version of Ôvodka to the wonky bounce of Ôportamento gosh , the 3/4 dub of waltz, the banging door bass of brivert and muonds , the creepy seasick atmosphere of clissold bathroom and finishing with the strangely graceful and serious organ plodder . a generous and welcome return to the racks

over 10.000 years ago, after the last ice age, humans began to explore and settle the place now known as scotland. evidence of our ancestors can be found in the various rock carvings, standing stones, tombs and dwellings still scattered throughout the lands today. modern archaeological techniques can offer ever more detailed suggestions as to what these monuments might have meant, but it is still largely left to our imaginations to discern just what these spaces were used for.

full length album by gb on his own label. we love what this guy is doing anc on his new album he finds more depth within his signature sound. recommended!
