on local talk s 74th release it s about time to get real...and we re not only talking about the music! this a heavy and political record that through music expresses the constant struggle for many african americans living in the us today. or like jamie 3:26 said after he first heard sameed s initial version - it instantly hit me with the raw pain and emotion of the lyrics. there is so much struggle in the world today, many black men and women are in emotional, mental and spiritual battles. the message is delivered over two tracks, testify and can t u . both tracks are using the same themes and samples but with a distinct difference on the end result. on the a side we find chicago legend jamie 3:26 teaming up with amsterdam s new shining star masalo (brighter days crew) for a gospel inspired disco / house jam that comes with a slight warehouse feel and a thumping bassline that is 100% on point on the flip sameed is back on local talk with can t u . a track that uses the same foundation as testify but instead goes straight for that dirty disco knock out punch...heavy stuff! as an extra bonus we also included dusty jazz , a fender rhodes driven jazz-house cut from sameed that sounds like it comes straight from a dark juke joint in manchester.

thats desire/here we are ep is a 12inch vinyl and digital release by fragile, wolfgang tillmans evolving band project that spans from early recordings in 1986 with bert leßmann to a full band ensemble made up of a group of musicians in new york in 2016. the double a-side ep opens with thats desire, a collaboration with the new york rapper ash b. the song evokes associations with dfa, daf and a queer talking heads. in a spontaneous action ash b. takes over the mic and raps over tillmans heartfelt lyrics, originally written in 1985, combined with a funky bass line by thomas roach. the experiment results in a driving indie-dance sensation about the pleasure and pain of getting lost in ones own desire.

these songs were made over the past 2 and a half years by uchi: luna (january 2016), was named after a talking cat. it s kind of a sad story. you will find some synth sounds, three different kick drums, and a couple hi-hats. it s kind of moody. you can take it as it is, or not. pride is poison (july 2014) ironically, it s titled after experiencing dosages of unhealthy relationships, though it might be the one people like the most. it s sad-ish, noisy, bouncie, and bassie? that about sums it up. inc (february 2016) is titled after the international noise conference, where it was recorded. actually it s a 3 part spliced zoom room recording of a 25min long improvisation, made in a punk bar. the argument here holds, is it really worth it to make perfect music? where is the concept of -live- in techno anyways? it doesn t matter. it s just a semi-distorted recording of a moment that meant nothing to almost no one, and yet it lives.

assorted moods is a turning point in john swing’s artistic output straying from his signature house and techno sound, towards many of his other influences gathered in the years: from jazz to dub, funk to hip hop and of course, club music.

many dance music lovers who frequent creative music hubs such as cxema in kiev, rabiza and arma17 in moscow or mosaique in st. petersburg have already been introduced to obgons live sets, andrew lees drilled-up high speed dancefloor project. he is also known as one half of interchain a live band that leads an energetic artistic life spanning from ambient sessions in abandoned industrial spaces, to playing high octane techno at the biggest festivals in russia, such as the main stage of present perfect festival right after aux 88 and before philipp gorbachev. andrew lee is a rather calm guy who prefers action to talking about himself, but we do know that he quit his day job to focus on music.

es gibt den frühen acid house-holmes. sein letztes soloalbum the holy pictures (2008) atmete la düsseldorf, the jesus & mary chain und brian eno. er produzierte primal scream und jon spencer blues explosion. und er schrieb (und schreibt) unzählige hollywood-soundtracks, allen voran für steven soderberghs oceans trilogie (mit george clooney, matt damon, brad pitt). nun legt david holmes seine late night tales version vor, bestehend aus vielen, kleinen kopfkinofilmchen, in denen wir auf david crosby, buddy holly und die children of sunshine treffen. dazu gibt es reichlich exklusives holmes-eigenmaterial, kollabos mit bp fallon und jon hopkins, sowie das von ihm produzierte 10cc cover i m not in love von song sung. insgesamt sind es 9 exclusives, wozu auch die spoken word-perfomance von stephen rea zählt, der aus seamus heaneys aeneid book vi elsewhere anchises vorliest.

believing that anything other than the music doing the talking is detracting from its purity, the elusive awol’s ideology shines through with the delivery of these heavy hitting techno bombs.

rainer steps up for the ninth instalment of half baked’s label. a strong record with four cuts designed for the dancefloor whether at peak time or after hour.

who is v? some say a belgian with an ebm heritage, some say a nomad from outer prussia, im afraid no one knows for sure. lets just fall back on the old cliche of letting the music do the talking, 2 perfect newwave/post/proto/dance tracks sure to rekindle the flames of a lost love or sooth even the most broken hearted of souls. on the flip is a man known to many as ripperton who delivers two slices of his trademark deep and mysterious technohouse music that unfurl with a poise and elegance known only to those with a true mastery of the craft. glorious stuff.

fuckthegovernment.ltd, a.k.a. f.t.g (alfredo trastulli) and music box head honcho, marco riff, return to the skylax fold in 2016 with a cache of house nuggets for our listening pleasure. their last venture on skylax saw f.t.g collaborate with a bunch of his friends, resulting in some of the best tracks we’d heard all year, including the unforgettable fuckthegovernment theme. their tracks have been celebrated and hailed by some of the best djs in the game, names such as derrick may, ricardo villalobos, raresh, and dj harvey. the bar set by the first record remains sky high, and somehow, these two manage to raise the bar even higher. it may be the biggest cliche going when talking about an album, but the duo certainly do take us on a journey, through the past and present of house music. it’s a record not too dissimilar in tone to paranoid london’s from a few years back, but f.t.g and marco strip things back even further than those guys did, in our opinion, the sound is more raw with less frills, and no track names to predispose feelings in the listener either. this eight track project is cohesive and elaborate, with movements through sounds both acid and jazzy, minimal and maximal. it explores sounds that came to prominence in famous house locales such as detroit and chicago over in the u.s., but the underground european influence is definitely present, from paris to berlin, and of course f.t.g and marco’s home of italy. with this album, these guys add to the underground sound that has cultivated in the city of perugia for years now, a place that has seen the likes of simoncino and nicholas hone their craft.don’t miss out on a piece of skylax history

when trends in music can come and go in the blink of an eye, ten years is a long time to stay relevant, passionate and real on the frontline. from its roots in the parisian club scene by way of its spiritual home at fuse in brussels and so on to the globe-trotting, multi-faceted entity that it is today, lessizmore is living proof of how to do a decade right.

killer raw jacking acid tracks with some old school chicago influences in a contemporary style. inter gritty on deep moves delivering the goods!! for fans of gesloten cirkel!!

nice price deal !!! incl. les petit pilous rmx its not easy to forgive the vichy collaborator swine for helping nazis rule europe for 6 years, and as you might know...we at turbo are very much against nazis, in fact we recently refused to release a pretty good demo by a 92 year old >paraguayan< named klaus, cuz i just didnt like his vibe (or his track titles: >i got gold (hidden)< and that killer a-side >caught! (can i get a passport)<. but enough about nazis... i was talking about french people. ok, so they are annoying as hell, and they hate you, and they talk french... but they also make amazing luggage and bread. while working on the plans for my new boat,thomas von party kept annoying me with >work< thins like >we got more demos< and there is a fire at the office and i think oliver is seriously burned, he needs help<....so i was like, >ok, any good demos?<

golden parachutes is a unique, collaborative musical effort comprised of stewart walker (us/berlin) and touane (italy/berlin). following five years of collaborative live-performances and techno releases through stewart’s persona records imprint, here the duo has decided to co-mingle their influences from afrobeat and progressive jazz into a boundary-free exploration. liberated from the constraints of repetitive, pounding kick drums, they unveil a new sound of timbral fluidity built-up from live and sequenced instruments. more than just music, their innovative approach delivers 43 minutes of consummate aural landscapes that pull the listener in head first. as the title ‘into the dark grey morning’ suggests the album takes you on a sweet atmospheric journey where melodic washes of colour and light flicker illumination into the dark clouds of monochromatic noise and reverb compositions, evoking fresh beginnings in electronic music... like a light at the end of the tunnel. as level records third long-play release, ‘into the dark grey morning’ is an unexpected turn away from the labels normal tendencies. with it’s live-instrumental melodies layered over sweeping electronic backdrops the album dips deeply into progressive rock waters and surfaces with a contemporary krautrock sound, logically delivered by a label from düsseldorf, the birthplace of krautrock music.

danism makes their debut on noir music with the emotional reciprocated love featuring the vocals of legend arnold jarvis. we fell in love with this stringled and super smooth song from 1st listen at the nm offices. deephouse like it sounded back in the day and in general just a timeless effort by the cambridge based guys. deetron, deux tigres and city soul project deliver the remixes and all of them are spot on quality with a more clubby edge. so instead of keep hyping this brilliant release. let the music do the talking.

ilija rudman is quite a unique character. a fact reinforced by listening to some of the records from his vast catalogue, taking a walk through his next level studio or simply talking to him. preferably, all three at once, as it is often the case. authenticity is the word that comes to mind when describing the work of this leading croatian artist or while listening to the material we are proud to put out on 12th burek release. the record features three cuts.

part 2/2 of his amazing album. intelligent communication. since 1967, astronomers have been receiving and cataloging very precisely timed radio pulses coming from sources they call pulsars. they have long assumed these to be natural sources, exotic spinning stars that emit laser-like radio beams that sweep through space much like lighthouse signal sequences. highly regular flashes and complex signal ordering are produced through intelligent modulation of their beam s intensity and direction of polarization. more significantly, through their seemingly purposeful geometrical alignments, pulsars appear to be conveying a coherent message. are these beacons from an intelligent origin? and are they warning beacons to warn us against the next shockwave that comes of the active galactic nucleus ore want they attack us? it might be prudent to consider whether we are talking about friends or foes.....mike storm.
