remastered re-release of this interr-ference classic from 1996. beware!!!

the latest chapter in the electronic evolution of guitarist john frusciante features a new project under his trickfinger guise and has him utilizing the classic hardware that spawned the eternal acid template. frusciantes desire to cede control to machines has paradoxically allowed him to present a singular take on elemental dance music, a brilliant and unexpected entry into acid tests growing canon of modern, 303-focused dance music.

unreleased material carefully transferred from the original dat tapes.

achterbahn d amours machinefunk opus, odd movements gets reworked with 4 sonically diverse remixes. detroit don marcellus pittman kicks things off with a massive, unsettling flip of holy roman empire. the italian producer chevel is up next with a virtuosic take on the lps title track. his cubist, artfully restrained version ends with over a minute of icy techno snap. convextion, as well, chooses to hold back for maximum impact, infusing the moody passagen with subdued electro bounce. finally, sw. imbues the duos konigstr with dubbed-out breakbeat pressure, occasionally allowing the original acid line to seep through a skittering rave rhythm.

lovely recut from just one existing, yet perfect testpress from back in the day.

the first release by the respected test pressing comes from nautic - laura groves, bullion and tic with a remix in support from open space (the new moniker from andrew hale of sade and paul byrne a.k.a. apiento)

what does a rave sound like the next day? the strobe lights in a dark warehouse, the pounding kick, the blur of ecstatic faces lead to a morning-after emptiness, all fade into memories of the friends you once had. on ode, tin man (proper name johannes auvinen) explores this feeling, offering tracks which possess an exhausted joy, the aural equivalent of the stretch of time beginning when the last record is played and stretching on towards the doleful contemplation of last night’s unmade sheets. appropriately, tin man’s melancholic dance music is more club-ready than ever.
the double 12 inch lp comes in gatefold sleeve with download code included.

re-sleeved warehouse find - raw, pure 1990s(?) chicago(?) acid house/techno jams.

following 2013s sparse, beautiful another, a busy sxsw, and a vinyl reissue of their first two albums, test & recognise represents the next chapter for seekae. bitter, belligerent and confessional, this track is punctuated by up tempo 90s industrial beats generated by a vintage drum machine emulator. it will be released in conjunction with the announce of their third album the worry, and pressed on a limited 12inch with remixes from sydneys cassius select, plus label mates flume and howls. the vinyl ep includes a download code.

the third part in absurd recordings acid test series. a spaced out ambient acid tune recorded for the labyrinth festival in 2010. labelmate tin man remixes the track on the flipside and turns it into a dark tripped out acid journey with his added vocals.
2014 repress

the first true collaboration by these two artists recorded in a studio in rome. 3 tracks of beautifully deep music. tin man’s emotional acid lines become shooting stars in dozzy’s hypnotic atmosphere. mastered by rashad at dubplates & mastering. ltd. hand painted sleeves.

the debut full-length by achterbahn d amour (johannes iron curtis paluka and jurgen jool albert), captures two artists coaxing the most emotional sounds to date out of classic roland boxes. the album is the natural extension of the duos live rooted sound, further defining the oblique dance moves contained on their three acid test eps. they demonstrate a true reverence for the 303 and 606. on odd movements, lush pads and abrupt toms create a literal pedestal for the bassline machine. the duo have hit on a sound well-suited for dark rooms and towering sound systems. due in jan, 2014

subtle, out-of-the-ordinary electro-esque & minimalist house trips.

vitalik recordings welcomes sam russo to the ranks with the rather fantastic vanishing test ep. sams production skills defy his years, his style defined and his sound signature. his trained ears have been sought after by the likes of craig richards, matt tolfrey and huxley in recent studio collaborations. his music is non-categorical genre speaking however his influences permeate his music, dub and bass play key roles, darkness and light coexist in a dynamic juxtaposition, bright expansive pads soar over rumbling kicks and moody bass lines.

it is not a test, it is energetic driven techno from the very talented ukrainian techno producer positive merge! ravine gives you industrial feeling with a broken beat. completed is the ep by two grandiose remixes from perthil & aerts.

the latest 12 inch in the acid test series from l.a.s absurd recordings. cardbox is a laid back, stripped down and tripped out groove with a spacey dubbed out remix from chicagos innerspace halflife on the b-side along with the bonus cut harmonia. hand painted sleeves. was delayed due to a manufacturing problem but they cleared it up right away so we could get it before the end of the year.

featuring the rolling, techy vibes of smashface and the paranoia inducing test subject, jade (with the help of ryme tyme) continues to push eatbrain to the forefront of neuroconnoisseurs everywhere.smashface (feat. ryme tyme): beginning with an ominous intro full of dark twangs and rasping clicks,smashface revs up the tension until jade pulls the trigger one of the meanest basslines around. a thumping subbass dominates, with precision synths and the molten, lyrical delivery of ryme tyme skittering over the top. a perfect blend of relentless drive, flawless production and infectious vocals,smashface comes from renowned two artists who continue to innovate. test subject sees jade change the pace and bring forth the darkest vibes. featuring an intro that wouldnt seem out of place in a horrsor film,test subject is neurofunk at its most menacing. after an atmospheric built up, the track transforms into a sophisticated roller, with all the hallmarks of another classic jade production. combining unsettling synth stabs with a submerged sub and ominous pads,test subject delivers a claustrophobic, paranoia inducing groove will find its way into only the grittiest dj sets.

a well deserved re-issue of an 1982 italo-disco gem by joe coleman.

le peuple de l herbe eine mixtur aus triphoppiger electro, hip hop, dub, funk, jungle und alternative-rock, mit messerscharfen breaks und bläsersätzen.

after their first album made the crash test dummies huge in their home country canada, their second album meant their big break in the usa and europe, thanks to the self-consciously bizarre lyrics and the deep baritone voice of singer/songwriter brad roberts, demonstrated in their worldwide top ten hit mmm mmm mmm mmm.
other popular singles off the album were >afternoons & coffeespoons< and >swimming in your ocean<. >god shuffled his feet< was the bands most commercially successfull album reaching top album charts in usa (#9), uk (#2) and in different countries in europe (ironically, after a car accident where brad roberts almost lost his arm, crash test dummies made a few other albums but unfortunately limited distribution made these hard to find).
180 grams audiophile vinyl pressing.

the long awaited sequel to the groundbreaking >live for never< lp from new zealand electronic wonderkid consequence is completed and scheduled for a dec 19th release on exit records. the release of >live for never< reminded the electronic world of the intricacies and emotional heights of drum & bass, and carried the genre into new realms of sonic possibility. >test dream< is not for those who expect the next logical evolution of >live for never<. it is also not for the unadventurous, nor for those who seek easily digestible music. creatively free, consequence revels in pure electronic experimentation, and the result is an album that follows no rules, and explores fractal dimensions that defy conventional genres.

nice price deal !!! yes yes people, we are back! its been a while, but we are going to be hitting you with some seriously good tunes this year, so watch this space. anyway, on to the music: if you like your tunes big fat and heavy like an elephant on steroids, then get ready for an absolute pasting from new boy on the circuit, depone! depone is a producer that has really caught our ear at the z audio towers of late and when you hear these tunes, i m sure you will understand why. all 3 tunes are fierce, dirty, gritty, disgusting and overall very well produced. the great thing about depone is that he manages to create in your face music without pointlessly wobbling the lfo filter. theres some real depth to this young talent and i m sure you will be hearing some more great music from depone in the very near future.
