limited lp & 7- pack from synth pop(?) giant, design a wave.... big sound on these cool electronic disco edged cuts.. hangman style design by cosmo knex - big tip! copenhagen based conceptual music act design a wave returns with ‘snakeface’, a document of surprise within the composition process. specifically, design a wave uses the computer to create several beats and then utilises the mutated results as building blocks for several new compositions. interest in computer-synthetic snakes, beyond all networks of communication and agency art, centres on placing these formless serpents into existing genres, such as music. snakeface is a timely exploration of the infectious qualities of music, and how it too, as a carrier, makes it’s way through neural networks, irreducible to bits and designed to infiltrate and replicate.

given the underground acclaim heaped on marie davidson s previous albums - ultra-stylish affairs that blend elements of minimal wave, dark italo-disco, off-kilter electro and moody ambient - it s little surprise to see her popping up on minimal wave offshoot cititrax. the album s nine tracks are largely sharp, rough and fuzzy, with sparse-but-dense drum machines rhythms underpinning bouncy, delay-laden synth lines, thrusting electronics and davidson s sleazy, spoken word vocals. it s an attractive combination that guarantees thrills throughout, from the almost claustrophobic throb of -denial-, to the mutant electrofunk bounce of -good vibes-.

ron maney also known as dj skull lived in the southside of chicago (il, usa). his musical career started during the summer of 1986, while recovering from a broken bone. during the following years he homed his craft, djing first at basement parties, building his reputation to go on to larger events such as, loft and hotel parties, and eventually the infamous music box and power plant clubs. at the age of fifteen ron shopped his first demo at trax records. there he first met chicago s legendary dj ron hardy, working as a&r for trax records. two years, and a new alias later (dj skull) later while at the power plant, chicago s own steve poindexter heard a dj playing one of rons tracks, and met ron. steve was now a&r at saber records and invited ron to release some tracks. so in october of 1991 dj skull s first record -n.r.g. music- was released. in 1993, he released the ep -the stomping grounds- on djax-up-beats, which was more noted than the first one. over the years that followed dj skull released lots of ep s on several labels. he has become well-respected producer and dj in the techno industry

nice price deal !!! the record opens with “origins”, and we hit the ground running with an obese bass-line dipping through a sparse rhythm .this is a deeply touching jack-attack, infused with stripped-down, cold-wave hysterics and touched by that very distinct meschi charm. science-fiction synth-lines smash through a rugged beat, wailing at you with such force that you can’t help but take notice.

in 2010 the la based label halo cyan records re-released vladislav delay s sistol project. for this deluxe 2cd reissue various well known electronic musicians remixed the recordings from 1999. the whole project received enthusiastic reviews in pitchfork, resident advisor, etc. one of the remixers is mike huckaby, who transferred sistols track >keno< into an outstanding dubby detroit-house masterpiece. it was immediately clear that this track had to be released on vinyl. we are delighted to announce the collaboration between halo cyan and slics of life for mike huckabys s y n t h remix of keno. on the b-side, mike huckaby remixed a track originally produced in the same time period: poles >silberfisch< was released in 2000 on the highly acclaimed yellow album >3<, re-released by scape in 2008 as part of the 3-cd pole box. in 2011, mike huckaby keeps the dubby and slightly melancholic crackling atmosphere of the original, but his s y n t h remix is beams >silberfisch< straight onto the dancefloor, where it arrives as a driving deep techno track.

the twenty-seventh release on minimal wave is autumns >synthesize< lp, selections from the bands best material. autumn was the legendary project of peter bonne and geert coppens, two belgian teenagers who started experimenting with the potentials of analog synthesizers during the late 70s and formed a band together soon after in 1980, quickly becoming one of the most truly visionary groups to emerge from the synth scene in europe. a hand-numbered, limited edition pressing on 180 gram clear green vinyl housed in a heavy printed gloss jacket.

wave music presents its newest release under the milk & honey moniker with additional production by boyd jarvis. the original long version is a beautifully drawn out symphony of strings and jazzy keys over a sultry downbeat and lazy vocoded vocals. consider this gold for fans of 4 hero and all lounge-core/downtempo fanatics. the flip however is boyd jarvis uptempo dance floor phenomenon. inserting a heavy and pumping bass line and adding xylophone arpegios alongside congas, organ synth and space atmospherics make for one wild galactic journey. think kevin yost remixed by salt city orchestra and you are right on target. slamming!
