almost 2 years after the success of the album the tony allen experiments and a few months after the release of the 7inch amore, nu guinea return to the scene with a new lp published by their newborn label ng records. after touring the world looking for sounds suitable for their vibrations, nu guinea decided to go back to square one, napoli, where massimo di lena and lucio aquilina were born and raised. they watched their city from a distance reconstructing its energy from their studio in berlin, calibrating the synths on the meridian of vesuvius, the volcano that has always protected and threatened napoli. nuova napoli is the result of a long musical research that has become a historical investigation on the sound that shaped napoli during the 70s and 80s, starting from the contamination of genres (disco, jazz-funk, african rhythms) which ended up in nu guineas dna. in this album the synthesizers fill the spaces between the past and the future, tightening in a single body acoustic instruments, electronics and voices in neapolitan dialect

with situational awareness, post-punk legends crash course in science deliver an album consisting entirely of brand new material. the songs on situational awareness sound crisp and ultra-fresh, while the band from philadelphia, usa, maintains their distinctive diy sound created by toys, kitchen appliances and self-built synths. far beyond new wave, the music is experimental and danceable at the same time - science and art, together hand in hand. the cd edition contains a remix of im here to tease as a bonus track, not available on the vinyl album.

kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flowÉ a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing. just like the sampler and the dj before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. Ôuniverse digs deeper into the android vocal chords. the album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during berlin lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. by striking the keys, kuf squeeze out and serve up all the soul accumulated in those savory phonetic shreds.

cinematic soundscapes open the gates of the throbbing city, electro and techno beat alternate continuously, enriched by acid synths of disparate nature and distortion, creating the preconditions for the arduous end of the journey.

recording and touring together on and off for several years now, sonic journeyman dj vadim and californian songwriter katrina blackstone unveil their long awaited full-length album Ôdouble sidedÕ, released on bbe music. after providing a pair of stellar guest appearances on vadim s 2014 dubcatcher album, katrina blackstone joined vad on tour and the duo have been steadily laying down tracks ever since. eschewing samples in favour of drum machines, guitars and a dizzying array of synths, vadim s compositions on Ôdouble sidedÕ range from dubby downtempo grooves to upbeat afroboogie business. katrina s crystal clear vocals, catchy melodies and highly relatable lyrics provide the perfect foil for vadim s raw productions.

after showcasing his knack for emotive productions via various eps throughout his career, including chart-topping singles on hot since 82s knee deep in sound and dave seamans selador, the swiss artist several definitions now reveals his first full-length album. it should come as no surprise that the artist found familiarity in what he calls the berlin style of electronic music and notably, that of oliver koletzkis stil vor talent. reborn after the road is an intense and emotional affair, consisting of 14 tracks crafted using field and live recordings, switching between analogue and digital to mould a sonic atmosphere that emblazons the artists core ethos. although the personal experience that sparked the inspiration for the lp is far from pleasant, several definitions style is audibly resolute. reborn after the road, the albums eponymous track, creates a fitting intro for the healing process that is to follow. its airy pads and majestic strings sonically stand at the epicenter of the expressive album. several definitions continues to explore these sounds on vaporous slices like pontce?ard 32 or the more acidical last breath. the mellifluous, feminine vocals of lameduza on learn to feel and her, as well as spanish singer goldsuns crooner talents on the introspective trust, on the other hand, showcase several definitions ability to work the human voice into his musical explorations. taking introspection one step further towards darker realms, senelity then feels like a rite of passage into the deeper and more intense segment at the albums core. over you briefly signals a turning point, with its alarm-like synths and grave leads, which is then followed by the glitchy resistance on modular spaces.

der dramatische thriller der beiden safdie-brŸder ist eine hypnotische odyssee durch die new yorker unterwelt, in der der protagonist verzweifelt versucht, seinen bruder aus dem gefŠngnis zu holen. die hauptrollen spielen robert pattinson (in seiner bislang besten performance) und jennifer jason leigh. musik und bilder gehen dabei eine symbiose von unglaublicher tiefe ein, wenn banale events zu dramen und montagen zu miniopern werden. oneohtrix point never gelingt mit dem soundtrack ein ausgesprochenes hšrerlebnis, das seinen exzellenten studioalben in nichts nachsteht und mit -the pure and the damned- featuring iggy pop einen markanten schlŸsseltrack enthŠlt. der spiegel schreibt: -das einzige, was -good time- im vergleich zu -drive- fehlt, ist dessen hemmungslose romantik, -good time- ist zuallererst ein kumpelfilm, aber kein sentimentaler. die emotionalen lŸcken, die dadurch immer wieder aufrei§en, fŸllt jedoch der soundtrack von daniel lopatins aka oneohtrix point never mehr als zur genŸge aus. der maximalistische musiker und starproduzent (u.a. fŸr anohni) war sich noch nie fŸr einen dramatischen effekt zu schade. hier darf er nun nach belieben drŠngende bŠsse, kreischende gitarren und kitschige synths abfahren, sitzen tut alles.-

there arenÕt many artists that can lay claim to having put out records on labels as divergent as rough trade and john talabotÕs hivern discs. perhaps this is because few artists express such genuine diversity in their musical tastes and creative explorations as david kitt. since the turn of the decade as new jackson he has mined a seam of driving, ghostly house to run parallel with his solo strand of ambient folk electronica. his debut release in 2011 the night mail on pogo channeled early record collection heroes aphex twin and orbital through to drexciya and projekt pm but had one foot firmly in the 21st century beaming in like some futuristic cyberballad. on the flip side hussle free had that mix of house and boogie sensibilities with dark and dusty synths and vocoder that would become a signature. this was followed by acclaimed releases on hivern, permanent vacation, major problems, apartment and most recently cin cin. his debut album set for release on all city in may was recorded in kittÕs bedroom studio overlooking dublin bay, its nocturnal hues very much a product of the nightshift often working on headphones with the rest of his housemates fast asleep. it takes full advantage of the scope of the lp format, ebbing and flowing between deep house club ready gems and more restrained and meditative beatless moments for the morning after. the recording process yielded many eureka moments with kitt finally nailing sounds that had hitherto proved elusive.

a lot can be said about the stubborn and confrontational ways of prolific dutch producer drvg cvltvre and his new york haunted label, but one can never accuse him of taking the easy way out. musically, his output of experimental electronics has swayed between heavy industrial techno and noise, composed music and slow, doomy and experimental house. on this new, full lenght album nobody cares forever he blends all of the above. from the orchestral hit, rave fueled opener to the melancholic synths of closing track all of my heroes and everything in between is pure experimentation and decomposing of standard house, rave and techno elements. now, here, in this #trumpage, you can feel his resistance to authority and the readiness to confront in every inch and fiber of this album...

a year after their impressive last album burn it down, detroit techno legends octave one are back with a nine track double ep that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves. entitled love by machine, the albums name is a nod to the fact that the burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. that is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the 80s, most often releasing on their own 430 west label, which is where they appear again here.

der new yorker heems (himanshu suri, ex-das racist) und der londoner riz mc (riz ahmed) sind die swet shop boys und -cashmere- ihr debŸtalbum auf customs. das neue transatlantische, indo-pakistanische duo - beide mit aktivistischem hintergrund von trump bis brexit - verschmelzt dabei so unterschiedliche klŠnge wie bollywood-streicher, sitar, schlagwerkzeug, harmonium und westliche synths problemlos ineinander. als produzenten konnte man den londoner redinho gewinnen, dessen letztjŠhriges debŸt props von mark ronson, jessie ware und hudson mohawke erfuh

der auf ibiza lebende produzent mark barrott setzt seine balearic-album-reihe fort. nach dem erfolg des erstlings bei trendsettern wie gilles peterson, trevor jackson, boiler room oder pitchfork, sowie dj-residenzen im la torre und dj-gigs zusammen mit dj harvey, folgt nun ein weiteres atmosphŠrisches balearic-werk mit field recordings, staubigen synths, afro-percussion und slide-gitarre.

pomrad aka adriaan van de velde ist ein belgischer produzent. sein sound bewegt sich irgendwo zwischen 80er jahre synthesizer funk, analogem trap und 90er jahre hip hop. seine musikalischen fixpunkte reichen von george duke bis hin zu hudson mohawke. analoge wŠrme meets bassgewitter und das live eingespielt, in der liveversion als trio mit mehr als einem dutzend synths auf der bŸhne. knights ist sein erstes release auf jakarta records, welches das album zusammen mit on and on records (c2c, 20syl) aus frankreich veršffentlicht. auf knights kondensiert pomrad all seine einflŸsse in ein kohŠrentes werk, mit der hilfe einiger gŠste wie beispielsweise selah sue, und schafft dabei etwas besonders: zu klingen wie pomrad, einzigartig und originell.

im anschluss an ihre zwei Šu§erst gut aufgenommenen singles auf nang, veršffentlicht das aus st.petersburg stammende duo kim & buran sein albumdebŸt mit dem titel orbita. die gruppe gibt es schon seit fast zwšlf jahren, und jetzt kommt ihr album als ein kaleidoskop von verschiedenen stilen wie disco, soul, funk und elektronischen klŠngen. die gruppe scheint eine vorliebe fŸr reisen zu haben. es ist nicht nur der albumtitel, der dieses widerspiegelt, sondern auch die stŠndige dynamik und der eskapismus in der musik selbst. 70s funk frequenzweichen, kosmische pads, arpeggio glŸhwŸrmchen synths, alle ergŠnzt mit sanften gitarrenriffs.

darkstar bewiesen sich bereits mehrfach als vorreiter der britischen elektronikszene. sie arbeiteten u.a. mit kŸnstlern wie actress, zomby und wild beasts zusammen. ihre frŸhen maxis auf hyperdub und die beiden alben north (hyperdub, 2010) und news from nowhere (warp, 2013) gelten als bahnbrechend. nun haben sie mit foam island ein werk geschaffen, das ihrer generation eine stimme gibt. die produktion reicht von expansivem uptempo-pop Ÿber dichte atmosphŠre und mutierten neptunes-r&b bis hin zu ungezwungenen sound experimenten. harte digital rhythmen und live-percussion treffen auf farbenfrohe synths, in die aidan whalleys leadvocals nahtlos integriert werden. ein perfektes electronic pop-album, das so nur in 2015 entstehen konnte

ein raum, fernab vom allem und doch gleich um die ecke. eine vision zum greifen nahe und doch soweit entfernt. gerahmt von tasten, klappen, poties und kleinteiligen liegen, diskutieren und tanzen marbert rocel durch den winter 2015. in diesem, ihrem leipziger studio fŸhlt die band die lieder zusammen, die im sommer 2014 in einem noch abgelegneren, umwaldeten winkel entstanden. jede entscheidung durch alle kšpfe, jeder akkord von hinten und vorn hunderte male gehšrt, jeder kompromiss ein triumph fŸr die sache. keine streicherarrangements vermitteln hier grš§e, sondern das einvernehmliche nicken, das Ÿber die jahre in marbert rocel entstand. in the beginning ist das vierte marbert rocel album. eine gelebte utopie von freundschaft, ein herber kuss fŸr jeden genreliebenden. hier ist nichts grob gehauen, sondern fein gemei§elt. wie tau perlt das schlagwerk von fŠchernden synths. wie gute freunde empfangen dich die songs. wie tinkerbell leitet spunks stimme durch eine vertraut-fremde welt vorbei an gro§en gefŸhlen und kleinen gesten, um schlie§lich dahin zu fŸhren, wo alles begann in the beginning.

basti grub releases his third longplayer , confirming once more his outstanding talent when it comes to deep, sensual (tech) house with a latin twist. the title is neu means new in german, underlining his approach to settle down in this genre for good. all tracks breathe a sweet air of easy beats, enriched by highly addictive rhythm elements, sweet synths, groovy basslines and great vocals

emikas new album channels electroclash era rapid-fire bass and syncopated beats amidst soaring synths. a songwriter who wears her heart on her sleeve, with deeply personal sentiments imbuing her brooding, expansive soundscapes throughout this record. the intricate, deft production flourishes that flow through the album and the breadth of moods showcased point illustrate a fully-fledged artist. pitches her voice down on the vampish miracles to duet with herself in haunting fashion.
