listening to >white< by finish artist abysss is like closing the eyes and dreaming your own movie to the sounds you hear. it is the perfect soundtrack for staring into the sun and walking through clouds where synths meets found sounds, lo-fi recordings are hitting loops n accidents and lovely melodies are forcing high goose fleshs of luck…

continuing their fine tape edit series of releases the check the guns boys bring us a 4 track ep packed with expertly sliced up gems. first up is greg hendersons dreamin which is given a ctg workout that should move any discrerning dance floor. next up is the cow bell and bass guitar grinding work out of love somebody. on the flip side disco magic brings the funk to the table and finally cant shake is an old school cut up with a vintage feel.

autumn days are coming quite near and with >jahreszwei< – an ambient tape by berlin based artist the marx trukker – we deliver the soundtrack for that more thoughtful time of the year. as the 4-track ep is put together chronological (starting with the track that was produced last), the a-side is more dark and dusty (roughly produced beginning of autumn with an electric bass, an old portastudio and loads of forbidden recording-techniques) while the b-side shines a bit brighter and lighter (produced digital end of summer, concentrating on the dave smith evolver synthesizer only). so take a walk through a forest next to you and enjoy the beautiful autumn-nature while having >jahreszwei< on your ears!

great 3 track ep on a new amsterdam imprint...tip!

as a man well versed in the moves of the old-school, fabio monesi launches his albion imprint with the immaculately executed styles of 623, full of sexy 90s synth notes and crisp, pumping beats. washerman brings a more rugged style on his remix of the tune, dropping in some cheeky and thoroughly familiar samples, while the melody wobbles around an amorphous scale. the peephouse finds monesi reaching back to the soothing organ tones of the dx7, with a gentle and piano-driven throw down that stills carries plenty of heft for the floor. rio padice steps up for another remix of 623 and spreads a strange and nervous shape-shifter of a late-night jam, scattering the vocals like confetti and nudging the drums out of joint on a whim.

>church of the real< is the tape 4th studio album by danish indie band i got you on tape, but only the second album to be released in europe, following the 2010 release of their award winning breakthrough album spinning for the cause. the new album went straight to no. 1 in the charts when it was released in the fall of 2011 in denmark.

its been three years since ghosts on tape (a.k.a. ryan merry) last released an ep of his own, and while the san francisco-based producer has remained busy on the remix front, many have likely missed the transformation hes undergone in the interim.

bristol-based behling & simpson come correct for apple pips with two slices of cavern-deep, slo-mo tripped out bass-led housey doings… these chaps have been making waves in the last year or so with their mixture of bass music, deep house, boogie and discoid with a characteristic bristol edge of not caring for the rules. with killer releases on bristol house dons futureboogies own label and a stonking re-edit of faith evans getting plays from peeps like modeselektor, derrick carter, untold, mosca, jackmaster and many more they continue to forge out their own groovy path through the bass scenes myriad styles… >where the ohs< glides along on a rolling, endlessly chugging beat, with glacial synth sweeps, dubbed out finger clicks, treated vox and sub bass stabs slowing cutting through the mix…perfect slo mo house styles for fans of prins thomas, todd terje, mark e, andrew weatherall etc

the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
in a city like munich its hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to. however our stressin turkish neighbour behaves like the pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood. but we all have a vision and the night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12 inch. twenty-three foreva!

this is no vinyl its a tape....the next lowriders release is something special, this will be with dutch producer ard bit on a cassette and digital only format. lowriders is proud to present this new release yelleen by ard bit.

this masterpiece was produced by st. petersburg based musician alexey nikitin aka nocow for the siberian label gimme5. the lp version will be released as coloured vinyl by fauxpas musik. this picture-perfect album with twelve tracks holds a special vision of perfection. rumbling beats just as burial, the melodies, dubs and sounds though seem to evolve a life of its own and in the end you are overwhelmed by the dimensions of these tracks. vinyl tastes better.

we are proud to welcome simple & thigpen (aka helix) from detroit & a small town in southeast georgia on ilian tape for their first collaboration eva. as peanut butter is a national dish in the usa since ages, every real american knows how to lick and swallow it the perfect way. so here we go with a 134 bpm swangler that funks from your backyard trying to get your arm hard while you are playing a bit of dart! freak seven from manchester is transforming the original from ying to yang through adding his personal slang while designing men strings with jewelry for alexander wang. and last but not least the zenker brothers adding their incomparable dust in which you all hopefully trust. hugs & slugs from the bavarian headquarters of love.

our second vinyl release 2012 introduces a new series, the bias jams, on ilian tape. we start off with a compilation of 4 tracks from japan, serbia, argentina and italy. after some internal investigations we found out that imugem orihasam is not only a japanese shaolin, but also a yoga guru. his bias cut sounds like an instruction for a deep meditation in a forest. we chose a forest, because forests need to be saved. too many black puffs of vapour are killing them at the moment. our late riser regen probably didnt had that a mind, but we declare him to be an environmental activist from now on. now how should we include paper tape in this story … had a look online and found the term perforated paper tape. pretty interesting stuff, it was one of the first methods for data storage. ok are you guys joking? orbital? there is no way to write a good story with those track names. >an atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom<. yeah right! well in fact its enough to know that the bias jams series will feature some heavy bomboclaat bias cuts from various artists! cheers
