lady blacktronika aka “the first lady of beatdown” brings three solid productions with all in vain ep, the next instalment on bass culture records. discovered on myspace by mike huckaby back in 2007, lady blacktronika’s sound brings a gritty edge from her street days, while simultaneously oozing a unique female sensitivity. making an impressive transition from the days when the dj boys wouldn’t let her play with their toys, she runs multiple labels, sound black recordings, sound kemystry and is co-creator of cocaine records, as well as releasing on deep explorer, skylax, underground quality and now bass culture. jumping straight in with learn me baby, the a side sets the tone with a deep and pounding, powerful groove. the title track takes it up a notch, the most incessant of the package, built for that peak-time dance floor fury. while the techno undertones remain, lord knows is a beautiful swirling house number that infuses the ears and body. the common denominator in all cases is the resonating voice of lady blacktronika herself, adding the human touch… a touch of soul.

*hinterhofjargon*, das debüt von celo & abdi, machte 2012 unmissverständlich klar: geht es um guten deutschen straßenrap mit viel wortwitz und exquisiten beats, dann gibt es kein vorbeikommen an den beiden frankfurtern. mit dem im frühjahr 2014 erscheinenden nachfolger haben celo & abdi noch einen draufgesetzt. das album hört auf den namen *akupunktur* - denn jeder track, jeder verse, jede line, jedes wort, ja, jede silbe ist wie der stich mit einer spitzen nadel, die eine reaktion beim hörer hervorruft. celo & abdis eigene sprache, ihr eigener humor und ihr geschmack für erstklassige beats machen -akupunktur- zu einem mehr als würdigen nachfolger. *akupunktur* erzählt direkt aus dem leben der beiden. celo & abdi nehmen den hörer mit in die sozialen brennpunkte, sie lassen einem am nachtleben auf den straßen frankfurts teilhaben - dabei rappen die beiden so bildlich und präzise, dass jeder der songs einem kleinen film gleicht. der sound des albums erinnert an das -mietwagentape-, jenem mixtape also, mit dem celo & abdi straßenrap aus ffm wieder auf die karte zurückbrachten. die beats kommen von haus- und hofproduzent m3, der wieder einmal ganze arbeit geleistet und sich selbst übertroffen hat. weitere produktionen haben die bounce brothas, abaz, bazzazian, reaf und farhot beigesteuert. die limitierte dopple-vinyl-edition erscheint jetzt im klappcover mit poster und cd.

franz meersdonk und günther willers aka rdf are back on the road. the speedometer obviously tweaked, turned up and back on track. on the way tramper simon sunset got on board, et voila: made himself comfortable in the back cabin. left a bunch of wood back there. they drove the semi right into the sawmill and took care of the rough pre-cut themselves. cutter lowtec supported the two street heroes with all he’s got, or rather, he actually applied his own cutting-machine-operation. simon sunset’s wood cuttings were molded by a bunch of saws, slicers, and files. and for a final fine-tuning herb lf came running out of the canteen. and lo and behold, the machines spit out three beautifully stable pieces of wood with the finest texture- pattern captured in a stable frame of bark. so good was the material to begin with that nothing was left over for old, stinky bark mulch

from the two individually revered artists seuil and le loup, comes the debut lp under their collaborative dj/producing alias hold youth. a collection of dance-orientated tracks, designed to make the body move, de la club explores the origins of hold youth’s fundamental influences to their modern day stance.a lp in two parts, the first vinyl is almost a retrospective of primarily state-side club sounds, but also of the pair’s early musical staples. paying homage to old skool production, the inspiration drawn from the detroit greats like moodymann and andres is clear on the funked-out, jazzy vibes of street my baby or the smooth flowing les enfants du soleil. hold youths love affair with head-bobbing hip hop also makes an appearance on the intro and outro, sampling the one and only j dilla, perfectly combined with their own personal beat-boxing. not forgetting their french 90s roots, kool & the boug oozes that warmth defined so well by pepe bradock and trankilou… a club track which has the power of subtlety to submerge the dancefloor that one level deeper. part two looks to the example of german minimal and micro house and brings us up to date with the sounds fresh from hold youth’s record bag today. be it the weird and murky territory of dodge this, or the eerie, glitchy world of black dog, their modern vision of de la club is darker and sturdier in its stature. but it is the ability to weave seamlessly between the lps two halves, two ideals, which truly characterises the hold youth ethos and their signature djing style.

the central executives what can we say ? not much as it turns out - the generally very forthcoming golf channel crew are remaining tight-lipped about the architects of this, frankly mind-blowing debut long-player from this new nyc collective. a walk in the dark is exactly that, a situationist song-sheet & sonic chaperone to guide us through the back street escapism these troubled times demand. from gently over-driven punk funkin mascara stained hymns, to house that has been thoroughly smudged to the edges of its live music incorporating limits. sitting very comfortably, in a moment of stewed elevation alongside sound signature style machine jams, bare bones vocal led improvisations, discordant arthur russell moments & the distorted reflections of roots house that run to the very core of the big apple. a drop-jaw debut then, that wears its influences proudly, but takes them somewhere entirely new.
