mit traumwandlerischer sicherheit schlŠgt lawrence einen bogen Ÿber 16 jahre gelebter clubgeschichte, ohne dabei das akustische hier und jetzt aus dem auge zu verlieren oder auch nur eine spur in anachronistischer nostalgieseligkeit zu verfallen. stattdessen gehen unter seinen sensiblen hŠnden meilensteine des minimierten deep house wie >forever monna< von chez damier, ron trent und stacey pullen (1995) oder der 99er clubhit >overcome< von thomas melchior/baby ford mit kontemporŠren intensiven detroit-techno-hommagen wie smallpeople & raus >life aquatic<, delano smiths >my life< oder pigons traumhafter >koto<-dubtech-romanze von der 10 jahre dial-compilation auf wunderbare weise zusammen. au§erdem mit dabei sind so bekannte namen wie aril brikha, isolŽe, das ifach collective und robert hood, bevor roman flŸgels auf duran durans >save a prayer< basierendes meisterwerk >brian le bon< und das kristalline >oi< von plaids klassikeralbum >not for threes< (warp) den wehmŸtigen schlussakkord setzen. lawrences mix atmet hier jedenfalls die gelassenheit eines lichtdurchfluteten sonntagmorgens zwischen modernistischer gro§stadt und waldlichtung und gibt so seinem globalen kŸnstlerischen ansatz die passende dimension

derrick morgans recording career spans over five decades, starting with smiths in the late 1950s with mainly r&b style output. in the ska era of the early 1960s he moved on to work with producers: duke reid, prince buster, leslie kong, c.s. dodd (studio one) and later in the 1960s and into the 1970s, with the ubiquitous bunny lee. during this time, many of his own productions were also released, this compilation features ska productions from the 1960-1966 period. the lp has been re-compiled, re-mastered and has new art-work. it features the best tracks from now deleted 12 inch lp rrtlp 06 and concentrates on obscure and hard to find sides.

hectic times require adequate measures. shorten the text message, shorten any url, filter a newsfeed to make a broadband broader - in any way, take a shortcut wherever you intend to go. while the world is struggling for convenience, those who chose the road less travelled will soon become - or already are? - outsiders. in many ways this is the case of jacek sienkiewicz - with over 30 releases behind, and over a decade of running his own label, he persistently followed his very own path, creating music that very soon began to be impossible to define. friendly, but not fraternizing with everyone and his family, modest, but stubborn only in a positive way, jacek is an individual with clear, personal vision and an unorthodox approach to music - light years away from the hectic, utilitarian ethos of club-derived electronic beats. and this story finally took shape - at the same time rock solid and otherworldly ethereal - in the form of “on the road , without any doubt one of the few rare records, this complex and challenging, to be derived in recent years from the music formerly known as techno. this album successfully attempts to embrace virtually all aspects of modern electronic music - from rave-like club bangers, through detroitish passion and deep house-like style, towards ambient soundscapes that are mariana trench deep

supremely catchy and insanely haunting, the work of 23 year old self trained singer /musician claire boucher is one of lifeÕs great mysteries. itÕs been a good time for music in the last year or so, weÕve been loving the new psychedelic sound sometimes called hypnagogic pop at other times chill wave, glo fiÉ..zzzzzz. for us no other act captured the fractal flow better than canadian singer claire boucher aka grimes

pingipung presents >the kenya sessions< - an enchanting cooperative mission featuring sven kacirek, our experimental drummer and electronic producer, and musicians from kenya. the kenya sessions is the result of svens extended visit to the country with live and fieldrec sessions which he later processed in his studio in hamburg. sven kacirek plays with local kenyan stars such as 80 year-old female vocalist ogoya nengo, or with joseph oganga, who delivers amazing patterns with his >nyatiti<, a traditional string instrument. its sometimes difficult to tell the parts recorded in kenya from those overdubbed by sven kacirek himself. his own compilation of marimba, bassdrums and brush patterns forms a musical thread that he weaves skillfully into the live sessions. at times joyfully straight (arsenal aluny vilage) at times mellow and melancholy (mariae, paperflowers). sven kacirek and some of the kenyan musicians will bring this fantastic material on international stages in early 2011. the linernotes by goetz steeger illustrate the detailed recording process of this record. >the kenya sessions< is pingipungs second album by sven kacirek who has a background as virtuoso jazz drummer. he studied at drummers collective in new york, played several solo-shows at the world drum festival and has written books on the experimental use of electronics on the drumset. on his solo debut >the palmin sessions< in 2007 he presented his original ambient aesthetics made from silent patterns recorded on paper, wood, or glass surfaces: >svens frantic drumming is really a pure pleasure to listen to ... his instruments join together in a deeply meditative study< (foxy digitalis)

seefeels fusion aus psychedelischem shoegazer-postrock & vertrackter elektronik war mitte der 1990er dermassen mutig & stilbildend, dass warp die band als ersten act mit gitarre auf dem damals noch reinen dance & electronic-label signte. nach einem phŠnomenalen liveauftritt auf dem warp20 event in paris ende 2009 folgte dann der dringende appell des warp-mitbegrŸnders steve beckett an die neuformatierte band, diese kunst auch auf tontrŠger zu pressen. das ergebnis liegt nun in form des gleichnamigen, neuen albums vor. laut britischer times verweilen seefeel dabei nicht in vertrŠumter shoegazer-laune, sondern lassen gutgelaunt horrorfilm-noises & floorzerstšrende beats mit einer intensitŠt aufeinderprallen, die ihresgleichen sucht!

pop ambient returns. kompakts beloved series. this is our other arena of bliss, always curated and carefully compiled by label co-owner wolfgang voigt (aka gas). somber times call for more introspective sound scapes - >pop ambient 2011< continues its mission to slowly persuade its signature sound introduced over a decade ago. this year we see the series leaning towards a slightly darker complexion than its predecessors.

musical aesthete, superstar dj, fashion icon and underground idol Ð tiga is ready to refresh your palette with a sublime collection of tunes aimed sometimes at your heart, sometimes at your head and very often at your feet and the raging clubber within you.he dropped louder than the bomb on us, we have danced to his fabulous version of hot in here, mouthed the words to >sunglasses at night<, got up to all sorts of misbehaviour to >you gonna want me< and he delivered a work of beauty with his last album >sexor<.now tiga is giving us a whole new set to enjoy with >ciao!< Ð which includes >shoes< Ð a hymn to his 3 favourite things, shoes, hair and gloves, luxury, a tale of opulent consumerism and a 10 minute modern disco extravaganza entitled >love donÕt dance here anymore< - countered with the club bangers >what you want< and >mind dimension 2< which will send you spinning into orbit. with collaborations from the likes of soulwax, jesper dahlback, gonzales, jori hulkonnen, jake shears and james murphy, itÕs a riot.of the writing process tiga explains, i thought this would primarily entail aging sheet music with teabags, but i quickly learned otherwise. itÕs ultimately a matter of trusting yourself, of having the courage to say, these are the times, and these are the rhymes.
