steffi occupies a unique space in the realm of contemporary electronic music. although she s a world renowned dj, steffi s musical interests reach far beyond the dancefloor, and it s her work as a producer that has established an impressive, hard-won legacy. soon after moving to berlin in 2007, steffi joined ostgut, becoming a resident at panorama bar and releasing on the club s label. to date she s released five albums, including two solo for ostgut ton, a co-production with virginia, another with analogue cops as third side and a collaboration as doms & deykers on martyn s 3024 label. her impressive discography features club classics like Ò yours feat. virginiaÓ , carefully chosen remixes and appearances on labels including permanent vacation, underground quality and mixes for panorama bar and fabric. she owns and operates four labels: klakson (with dexter), dolly, dolly deluxe and dolly dubs. world of the waking state is steffi s third solo album for ostgut ton and a musical departure for both her and the label. it s also a serious statement of intent. over ten tracks she embarks on entirely new electronic terrain for her productions, marking industrial spaces with superlunary warmth while exercising a refined knowledge of polyphony and arrangement. subdued melodies interact with each other over implied harmonies and microcosmic drum patterns, luring us into a world that is introverted, bewildering and gratifying all at once.

decadent yet depraved, the debut album by belief defect, finds shelter and complicity in raster as home and label. familiar with the underground music scene and how its skeptical nature can also be an obstacle to overcome, belief defect abandon any claim or credit in an attempt to transcend the limits authorship imposes, avoid the boundaries or expectations earned or self imposed and find the clearest, most direct path to their music for themselves and the listener. at the core of the album is the music that inspired them, the conclusion of countless recordings listened to in their formative years that ultimately result in a life-long devotion to electronic music: from dance floor to primal anger and self-annihilating noise, to transcendental, ambient escapism and intense self-reflexive sonic layering. the result is a soundtrack for this apocalyptic time, an uncompromising reflection on the state of mankind and its uncertain future Ð underscored by a sense of religious and secular demise referenced in track titles, samples, and soundscapes scattered throughout the album. yet, more than a political statement Èdecadent yet depravedÇ is an introspective journey, turning each listener into a spiritual soul-seeker staring into the abyss, reaching for some kind of cathartic truthfulness.

huron is back with his long awaited album Òinside informationÓ. the berlin based musician has come up with 13 original tracks for his album which sounds somewhere between the idm/glitch/electronica.
Òinside informationÓ is an accomplished coming of age for huron, a conceptual lp that brings together the elements that worked so well on his previous album Òthe other side of realityÓ on raumklang records and his ÒfissureÓ ep on mindtrick records and mixed it into a robust, coherent statement.

ambient power duo anjous sophomore statement continues in the vein of their 2014 debut, unfurling a full hour of mesmeric synthetic drift and veiled melodic undertow. comprised of mark nelson (of pioneering post-rock experimentalists labradford and pan american) and robert donne (of labradford, aix em klemm, cristal), the group work largely in long-form suites of sound, alternately spacious and dense. the new lps six pieces embrace flux and ambiguity: drones swell and shudder, hushed currents of noise glitch and dissolve, atmospheres congeal and liquify. as with the participants prior projects, anjou evoke a shadowed, mysterious mood, variously melancholy and transcendent. the album is an accumulation of craftsmanship and experience, blurred forms traced in light and fog.

token is pleased to announce the sophomore album from sigha. metabolism represents an arrival: the artist offers his definitive statement on a production aesthetic that has been in development over the last few years.

fjaaks weg fŸhrte sie von der peripherie ins zentrum und von dort aus kreuz und quer durch die welt. ihr selbstbetiteltes debŸtalbum fŸr monkeytown ist gleicherma§en als bestandsaufnahme der letzten drei jahre wie als kŸnstlerisches statement des berliner trios zu verstehen. -fjaak- vereint den energetischen peak-time-sound von fjaaks gefeierten techno-singles wie -unten / oben- mit komplexen breakbeat-arrangements und atmosphŠrisch dichten ambient-momenten. die elf tracks sind der vorlŠufge hšhepunkt einer einzigartigen erfolgsgeschichte, die ihren anfang abseits der clubkulturellen konventionen nahm und sich bis heute nicht von der mitte vereinnahmen lassen hat.

time will tell. true words reflecting the artistic and mainly personal metamorphosis klaudia gawlas has gone through in recent years. the result is her second album ÒvisionÓ in which she approaches a place she calls home in a musical context. the energetic but at the same time deeper and more sophisticated sound of ãvisionÒ is proof the she has taken a big step towards reaching the artistic level her true inner self has been striving for. as so often in life a strong vision leads to a very pure form of motivation, which finally turns wishful thinking into action. vision is a straight statement and commitment to the roots of techno. something that matches pretty well what klaudia gawlas is known to stand for. vision. 11 tracks, released on cd

hotflush are proud to introduce an exciting young artist, pyur, along with her singular debut lp epoch sinus. despite her relative newness, pyur meets the world with fully formed and unique signatures in both visual and sonic work, revealing a deep artistry that transcends medium. growing up in munich, in and amongst the same fecund scene that spawned artists like the zenker brothers and skee mask, pyur cut her teeth from a young age as a guitarist and singer before becoming spellbound by the electronic worldÕs endless scope for sound design. endowed with innately strong synaesthesia and reared in a shamanic household, she tells how music Òplayed the biggest role in my growth. it alone had the purpose to help me dissolve boundaries, discover the beauty of lifeÕs mechanisms, create freely. it talked. soon i felt like the music was making me, not the other way round.Ó epoch sinus is a seamless and heartfelt whole, a life-like being unto itself, describing the disintegration of barriers between the self and the all. here pyur offers an intimate and personal statement, combining knowledge of universal harmony with electronic music. she states: Òi m mainly influenced by my inner visions and nature itself, yet also a lot from club culture, which is undoubtedly an important space of connection and freedom for so many people. the record dances playfully between supposedly incompatible qualities: moments of brutality turn to softness, new life embraces decomposition, while explosive rhythmic and melodic structures are tempered with gentle and subtle percussion.

ryan hunn, auch bekannt als dj und produzent illum sphere, kehrt mit seinem zweiten album glass zu ninja tune zurŸck. es ist passenderweise sein klarstes statement bisher: neun sowohl dynamische, als auch fokussierte tracks, die raum lassen, um sich in ein lebendiges, gro§es ganzes zu verwandeln. beim hšren fŠllt vor allem die klare abgrenzung von illum spheres bisher gewohnten sound auf. i wanted to make an album very different to the first, sagt der produzent, one with a different palette, pace and energy. eine verŠnderung in situation and style, wie ryan das beschreibt, ersetzt die scharfen wechsel und drastischen †bergŠnge seiner bisherigen veršffentlichungen und erinnert mehr an seine spectre vex und second sight 12inches oder seine mixe fŸr fabriclive und dekmantel. glass ist versunken in mechanischer tiefe und pulsierender festigkeit, erinnert an die zeitgenossinnen helena hauff und kassem mosse und wird illum sphere, dem bisher wohl bestgehŸtetsten geheimnis der szene, sehr wahrscheinlich zum durchbruch verhelfen

five years after his last album release luke slater returns to ostgut ton with a new planetary assault systems longplayer, titled arc angel. after 22 light-years luke slaterÕs planetary assault systems keeps exploring space and time with different musical means. staying true to the projectÕs initial mission statement, slater comments on the new yet familiar musical direction: Òfor me music has to go forward. iÕd feel i was cheating by sticking to tried and tested formulas. thereÕs a valid use for these, but this album has its own agenda.Ó with arc angel, planetary assault systems departs to new musical frontiers by focussing on melody, but staying rooted in the purist values of techno that slater shaped over his decades- and generations-spanning career.
