just as magnified record grooves reveal dust constellations and lunar landscapes, so too does godblesscomputers third album. solchi is a deep search into previous moments in lorenzo nadas lifetime, influenced by the presence and power of music. his process began with the recovery of some old cassettes, mixtapes nearly forgotten, audio recording of voices from his childhood, and lots of dusty jazz, soul, and hip-hop records. as the starting point of this travel merge with its end, past and present combine to form gbcs current sound. warm electronic production rooted by grooving bass lines form the core of a kaleidoscope of sixteen tracks, colored by synthesizers, guitar echoes, scratches, samples, fading voices and kalimba. the album is a collection of sixteen stories, sixteen soundscapes, each of them gbcs tribute to the path taken thus far, an homage to his love for music. the recording and studio work took place over a year, with the adding and subtracting of many elements.
kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flowÉ a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing. just like the sampler and the dj before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. Ôuniverse digs deeper into the android vocal chords. the album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during berlin lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. by striking the keys, kuf squeeze out and serve up all the soul accumulated in those savory phonetic shreds.

without new jersey native kerri kaoz chandler, house specifically deep house would sound very different. ever since his teens he has been making and playing music with a unique sense of soul, jazz and deepness. from majors like atlantic, king street sounds and nervous via his own madhouse, his releases are never short of genre-defining classics that have spawned a thousand copycats. affectionately referred to as the stevie wonder of house, kerriÕs dj sets take him all over the world and often find him playing live keys next to his informed selections. heÕs meticulous about sound, too, which means that no-ones kicks hit quite like kerris. his instantly classic and timeless dj-kicks mix, though, takes him out of the club and through a world of influences and inspiration

it was in february 2015 when japanese producer and sound designer kuniyuki takahashi, sometimes known as koss, releases with the ep ™newwave project ¾2š a record, that tapped some roots of his mu-sical education: new wave, german electro punk from bands like a daf, ebm from acts like front 242 as well as industrial music. styles, about kuniyuki claims that they are his ™favourite musicš. now, nearly two years after his first newwave project ep, he drops an album that is leaning towards his musical love from the past. com-pared to his former work, that was rooted in worlds of classic, jazz, house, ambient, and electronic song-writing, his new tunes are full of melodic drifts and rhythmical shifts. as usual all is loaded with tones and rhythms straight from the heart that filter and modulate human emotions without losing their natural source. to get a sound that is fresh but still leaning to the 1980ees, he used some old synthesisers like a roland jupiter 8, a juno 60, a korg ms 20, an old tape echo machine but also new instruments like the roland aira. furthermore, his modular synthesizers talk too.
island people is a new band project consisting of mastering engineer conor dalton, grammy award winning producer david donaldson, and musician and dj graeme reedie. on their first self- titled record, they present their collaborative work that evolved over the past three years. being based in different cities, namely berlin and glasgow, files had to be exchanged back and forth between the three band members in order to create tracks. for their delicate sound structures, field recordings and other sound sources were heavily processed and rendered unrecognizable. layer after layer, the tracks came into being quiet naturally, not only reflecting their continuous way of working, but also incorporating their different and individual backgrounds: Òduring the whole creation of the album, we never realized our actions were quickly leading us into forming Èisland peopleÇ, we were too busy having fun, making music and sharing ideas.Ó the result of their collaboration is a timeless music that is as open as a natural phenomenon, developing a certain feeling of euphoria over time. all in all, Èisland peopleÇ is a pure listening record in the best tradition of ambient.

being pioneers with a new album created in no more than 6 months, the orb are bound to be exposed to fan expectations running high, while quizzical questions about little fluffy clouds and the good old times take over. it s especially jarring as the duo of accomplished soundsmiths alex paterson and thomas fehlmann has become known for its genre-bending curiosity and surprising sonic detours, exploring experimental soundscapes as well as club-friendly beats. the funny thing is, though, that whatever the context, you know a track from the orb when you hear it. case in point: cow / chill out, world!, their latest full-length offering - a masterful ambient album that branches out in many directions, but unmistakably sounds like the orb in either ear (and probably to your third ear, too).
sound and rhythm are effective means of individuals self-defence in face of chaotic steamroller of everyday life. hiding in a familiar yet simultaneously hardly recognisable parallel space does not have to result from the need of escaping the world or nurturing one’s ego. too many times to mention, music appearing under recognition imprint served as a peculiar type of a vehicle of survival and a tool for internal transformation. hideland, new record by polish electronic music producer jacek sienkiewicz is released precisely year after drifting, which largely explored tropes of classical club techno sound. eight (nine in extended cd version) tracks comprising this album go beyond easy-to-pigeonhole genres, creating a microcosm of utopian sound constructs. surprisingly unobvious and precisely composed release could be fascinating both for loyal fans and for new listeners looking for threads of experimentalism. its another intriguing proposal in jacek sienkiewiczs growing discography, but above all, a laboratory where dreams and artistic visions metamorphose into concrete reality.

anfang april veršffentlicht ninja tune das neue album des klanggenies ash koosha. zu sagen, dass ash koosha, ein im iran geborener und in london lebender electronic-musiker ist, kratzt lediglich an der oberflŠche dessen, was es Ÿber diesen bemerkenswerten mann zu wissen gibt. ein synŠsthetiker, der farben als tšne sieht, ein virtual reality pionier, ein software humanist, ein politischer kŠmpfer, ein ehemaliger rockmusiker und student der klassischen musik es gibt so viele seiten von ihm, wie es facetten in seiner fraktalen, komplexen, au§erordentlichen musik gibt. koosha arbeitet hauptsŠchlich mit seinen eigenen field recordings, behandelt jede gesampelte quelle als physikalisches objekt, er quetscht, streckt, verzerrt und formt soundeinheiten, bevor er einen hintergrund aus klassischer musik persisch und westlich hinzufŸgt, sicher auch ein †berbleibsel aus seiner zeit am teheran conservatory of music. das ergebnis strukturiert und formt er zu ergreifenden, originellen und oft wunderschšnen bewegungen ein prozess, den er als finden von geometrie in sounds bezeichnet. koosha hat schon mehr getan und erlebt, als die meisten kŸnstler in ihrer gesamten lebenszeit: so sa§ er im iran wegen seiner musik im gefŠngnis und musste in gro§britannien asyl suchen

tender games ist das brandneue projekt von bbc radio 1 future-star marlon hoffstadt und hrrsn, chef des well done! imprints aus berlin. die beiden etablierten, eigenstaendigen produzenten haben ihre house-basierte soundpalette um eine lp erweitert, die alle voraussetzungen fuer einen kuenftigen soulklassiker aufweist. der sound von tender games trieft vor satten harmonien und warmen grooves und ist damit viel staerker der britischen clubszene verhaftet, als den duesteren, schwereren klaengen, mit denen man ihre heimatstadt berlin normalerweise verbindet. aus ihren ungleichen musikstilen heraus entwickelte das duo gemeinsam einen markanten eigenen und neuen sound, beim 20 jahre alten hoffstadt stechen seine house-tendenzen sofort ins auge, waehrend hrrsn eher aus der garage-, blues- und sogar folkecke kommt. das album entstand im laufe eines knappen jahres im studio der suol labelheads chopstick & johnjon und kann mit einer fuelle von gaststimmen und einer live-instrumentation durch hrrsn aufwarten. heraus kam dabei ein opulenter, organischer und vor allem frischer sound. moegen auch vergleiche zu kollegen wie disclosure und konsorten zu erwarten sein, die vielzahl an unterschiedlichen stilrichtungen, die auf diesem longplayer angerissen werden, verleiht tender games in ihrer vielseitigkeit einen eigenen, spezifischen sound. und wer fuehlt sich von so guter musik nicht angeregt?
