ashley beedle returns to the kat records stable, this time on their 45 offshoot...
first up we have flora purim getting ashley beedles extended edit treatment with the sublime latin-jazz funker >angels<. great vocal hooks, guitar licks and a jazz-funk groove with added disco overtones to boot! if the mizell brothers had been born in rio then this is what it probably would have sounded like.
on the flip we have brian protheroes >pinball<. a lost psychedelic pop classic which got to number 22 in the charts in 1974. a staunch ashley beedle fave with his tripped reworking doing exactly what i says on the tin. dubbed, stretched, spaced out and arranged to perfection. great!

heavy austrian dub mechanics from group niob aka phlox conspirators gerhard potuznik and martin sovinz. this is their 2nd release to date, a dedicated follow up to last years >vector ep<. opening track nexus takes dubtechno one step further down the road to the lowlands. it manages to keep the atmosphere dread and melancholy but balanced with light skipping percussion and whispering snippets over a four to the floor beat, creating an uniqe kind of bass music. second tune aldo glows with warm chords over thick and dreamy rhythms, rendered in spacious minimalist dub style. side two starts with a vocal drenched acid-rework of nexus by no other than tin man. the words >doesnt matter who your are< will settle down deep in your subconsciousness and refuse to leave for some time. already an anthem and that kind of tune that should not be missed on future dancefloors. the ep ends with a fierce and forward shifting, floor shaking nexus-rework by londons bass cadetts dark arx

nice price deal !!! andnotors fourth vinyl release sees rubadubs very own line idle laying down a hefty techno workout, which combines analogue crispness with distorted synths and a brooding vocal for maximum dancefloor devastation. mixing land cruising-era melodic bounce with a dirty electronic throb, tense slowly builds to a crescendo as the vocals rise up through the mix until the hook kicks in and it all gets messy. on the flipside, nu42Æs acid remix does exactly what it says on the tin, arpeggiating the synths, adding a healthy dose of squelch and fracturing the vocals to make a much more grinding long-player. whilst the original is a peak-time techno beast, the flip is pure warehouse material, nine-minutes of slowly-evolving drops and breakdowns designed for an early hours of the morning after-party. tense is andnotors fourth vinyl, after limited-edition releases from cledus snow, tj kong and aleksandr jurczyk, and each copy comes individually hand-stencilled. previous releases have gained them a substantial following from djs like tom middleton, kenny larkin, mark bell (lfo), mark moore (s express) and erwin van moll.

meet desto. we found him wandering the streets of helsinki, eating canned tuna and drinking the water from a tin of hot dogs, desperately clutching armfuls of sticky future garage. starting off in spacey 2step rhythms, falling over bassline, and breaking down into an euphoric 8 bit cascade, the epic >disappearing reappearing ink< finally reaches wax after being in the boxes of pretty much everybody all year. on the flip, >broken memory< was given its first exclusive airing by oneman on radio 1 to much acclaim, and takes more of a straight up approach, and retains all of the fluid c64 chiptune beauty.
dj support from rob da bank, oneman, brackles, sinden, floating points, clouds, mary anne hobbs.

larissa kapp was born in some idyllic concrete jungle city called asbest in russia, where she spent the first ten years of her life in a minimal, urbanely grey surrounding. there were not too many things, to keep her away from nerdish piano playing, until her family went to germany. there, after years of piano, singing and dance lessons (ballet, jazz, modern), she started her studies on a music high school, which, to be honest, wasnt exactly, what she wanted to learn.

ealier support by chloe, giles smith and karotte. maik loewen was already infected by musiccalitis in early years. and there was also his increasing fascination for beats. it did not take long till he started playing the drums and synthesizer. with the tb 303 being one of his first instruments he immediately became addicted to electronic sounds and became quite skilled in using these new devices in his own productions. during his apprenticeship at the recording studios he produced his first tracks. at the same time he started his collaboration with oliver hacke and gabriel ananda. they supported him to get his first record deals. following his first releases on tonsport >arnika ep<, karmarouge >mezcal ep< and trapez >one year one month< and remix projects for walter dahn und jorge gebauhr, his latest ep on poikerflat >even if you sleep<, maik finally appears on karmarouge: the >backcountry camping ep<. his deep understanding for functional sounds and extremly pumping beats, combined with the right mixture of genius and insanity, enables mike to playfully produce upfront club-compatible music. >i dont like musical restrictions, what counts is the feeling of the moment, expressed in acoustic waves<. a perfect mixture that metamorphoses the dancefloor into a seething gladiators arena and wich become one of this genius minimal techno anthems who seems to fly higher more and more. not to forget the huge portion of groovy funkiness. the three tracks on the ep nicely explore different nuances of maik loewens present sound

following the big success of their debut release >metro gold< berlin based resident dj of bar 25 red robin and format b member jakob hilden have come up with a very hitty and unorthodox big production as a follow up. the two club tracks of the upcoming >tales ep< are straightforward and reduced to the essentials. made out of pure power. >lazy jack< the a-side is another monster of a track. it holds the dark berlin side of techno, with its droning noises and delays. it reminds us a bit of chicago techno house at its best, but this is just one facetted of the track. it gets its other enthusiastic crazy over the top and emotional side from the whistle melody which sets in half way through the track. this leading sequenced is such a catchy tune that its sure to be heard in all mayor berlin clubs and eventually all around the globe. the b-side track >tin soldier< is a marching techno tune, with a cool slight swing programming in the rhythm and drugged out chords. creating a ghost town atmosphere, transforming the club into another >futureworld<

quentin harris does it again, this time with the wonderful jill scott. >hate on me< is a gospel style vocal layered over a dope backing track that really hooks you in, tuned down congas, a stomping beat and a sick minimal bassline, basically this will kill it peak time in the club, women will love you for playing this record. over on b the vocals get majoritively removed on the >shelter dub< which does what it says on the tin

nach drei alben auf kompakt, zuletzt signs under test- im jahr 2015, kehrt der us-amerikanische house- und techno-produzent john tejada mit dem elf-tracker dead start program zum kšlner label zurŸck. eine reise, die das spektrum von johns stilen umfasst - von seinen charakteristischen soul-techno-melodien bis hin zu den hypnotischen mustern seiner trance-electro-hybride. ob solo oder durch seine vielzahl von kollaborationen tejada beschŠftigt sich mit allen elementen innerhalb und au§erhalb der club-umgebung. sei es auf seinem (44.) fabric mix, als schlagzeuger mit der detroit legende daniel bell als dbx, mit tin man auf acid test oder mit dem selbsternannten desinformator reggie watts als wajatta. vom arrhythmischen maschinenspuk des openers autoseek Ÿber den hŠmmernden puls von hypochondriac und dem schwerlidrigen breakbeat von sleep spindle zur kosmische infundierten vibration von telemetry, der lebendigen traegheit von loss und clubbigen winde von duty cycle und heal bahnt sich john auf dead start program seinen weg durch genres und tempi mit optimalem chamaeleon-effekt. das artwork, basierend auf einem bild von mark richards, wurde von johns langjŠhrigem freund juan mendez aka silent servant, ein ebenfalls wichtiger mitwirkender der los angeles szene, designed. der titel dead start program bezieht sich hierbei auf das analoge start-up-programm eines alten cdc 6600 computers aus einem toten anfang zu booten. dies lŠdt in johns eigenen worten metaphorisch dazu ein, einen neustart von den herausforderungen, die das leben mit sich bringt zu beginnen.

earlier this year daphni (aka caribou, aka dan snaith) released a very special fabriclive mix made up of 23 original, unreleased daphni tracks and four new daphni edits to widespread critical acclaim. today he has followed up with the announcement that he ll be releasing a new full-length album, joli mai, on 6 october (nb vinyl coming later.) comprised of extended versions of the tracks from the mix as well as new, unreleased track vulture

der mehrfach prŠmierte dan snaith veršffentlicht als caribou, daphni (und frŸher manitoba) auf label wie city slang, merge, leaf und domino. wŠhrend seine musik aus electronica, folk, shoegaze und neo-psychedelia mit dem oberbegriff dream-pop sehr gut beschrieben ist, legt er bei seinen dj-sets wert auf einen starken anteil an live-instrumentierung mit dichter, minimaler percussion und spielfreudigem, funk-infiltrierten bass und begibt sich damit in seelenverwandtschaft zu Šhnlich inspirierten kŸnstlern wie four tet oder floating points. dan snaith nutzt die gelegenheit, in der fabric-serie zu veršffentlichen und kreiert ein unikat aus vollstŠndig exklusivem und unveršffentlichten material, bestehend aus 23 eigenen tracks sowie 4 weiteren, exklusiven daphni-edits. - packaging: deluxe-packaging - dŸnne metallbox

cd- cristobal rawlins, aka raw c returns to no. on his 3rd appearance for the label with his debut album antebellum. no. 307. furthering the audio niche heÕs chainsawed out for himself in his tin shack studio deep in the ghettos of santiago de chile. the influence of his decaying urban surrounding is plain to hear in his definitively raw productions. channeling the chaotic noise of the bustling cityscape into an aggressive groove to combat the daily torment of the outside world. raw c presents 9 tracks of funk filled fury with which to blast sound systems and subdue barrios from santiago to st. tropez.

special edition 2 cd digipack , includes debut album: * on acid* on cd2 for the first time ever on cd!
when recondite, aka lorenz brunner, emerged with his debut lp for acid test (2012s on acid), we were still learning about the german producers inward-looking dance floor sound. a few years later, his sinewy jams have proved near universal -- like an underground zelig, hes fit perfectly everywhere from r¿dhŒds dystopian to ghostly international and innervisions. acid test also allows recondite the chance to indulge his more outrŽ tendencies and a welcomed return it is.
