minimood welcomes copenhagen based master duo merv for two tantalising new tracks, and thus continues the reductionist dub techno stance the label has been advocating lately. after 2 decades of silence, this new ep marks merv s first new material and suggests that they have lost none of their magic touch. blank i is nine minutes of expert and exquisite dub techno. the kicks ping with an infectious thump, the dub chords are fantastically crisp and well crafted as they float in space and swallow up the drums. widescreen and edgeless, warm dubby techno. blank ii is a equally stripped-back and elegant dub techno affair as blank i, yet with a more upright and direct twist. slapping hits and lively chords are riding above the rolling, loopy drums. a ride that will guide through the deepest nights. vinyl only!

for this second release, the hedzup crew invite the hot and prolific producer carlos sanchez in collab with wlad and damien badey for an hypnotic groove named strong. two solid remixes on this release - politics of dancing pushed the track to a higher level of efficiency and john jastszebski applied his raw techno touch. as an extra tool, the 2 heads thinking from hedzup, wlad and mancini for their first collab created an aerian and groovy track -12th-.

the third release on ascorbites own corseque records is not for the faint-hearted. advance the flight and inadequate demeanor are clearly twins, delivered from the darkest corners of ascorbite’s mind. the bold, pounding quality of the ep brings adam x or grovskopa to mind but ascorbite has a dystopian touch that’s entirely his own. advance the flight is like a battle track for an intergalactic armada being attacked by an infinite horde of swarming space ants. inadequate demeanor, on the other hand, is a grim steampunk fantasy of a black, shining locomotive plainly out of control, raging on red hot rails towards the end of the line. however, while both tracks are rough and unforgiving, ascorbite manages to invigorate them by the use of subtle melancholic atmospheres – like rainy skies over a concrete desert. a balance between brutalism and vitality. a trademark of ascorbite and corseque records.

forging an idiosyncratic musical language, told through exotic rhythms and adventurous wordless vocal explorations, deal is fays boldest work yet, moving further away from the pop signifiers of previous exploits. with an articulate minimalism, deal flexes and shapes these elements to their maximum potential through vast spacial movements that evolve down unexpected paths. compositional directions diverge through variations on a theme. the album s complex choral arrangements and daring structural ideas demonstrate a deft understanding of music foundation while departing into abstract possibilities outside of these standards. a conversational interplay between drum and voice is at the center, highlighting the human element. a loose, primal urgency guides these compelling and playful electronic compositions that favor intuitive sense perceptions over self-expression. the voice acts as a beacon throughout the record, leading the rhythms and arrangements towards their next move. deal is music for movement, an active listening experience that feels narrative or visual, building tension and anticipation of where the piece will lead, and what will happen next. the album uses sparseness to it s strength, with each note and drum hit sounding more potent and unexpected. here you ll find soul, exhilaration, guts, humor, freedom, play, humans animalistic nature. with a willingness to embrace the potential for new music, deal is a brave and different record that will reward listeners.

klamauk is back and ready to drop their first release of 2017 with this excellent cut from moony me. the austrian artist has already turned heads with a string of quality records dropping since 2012 and this current release is up to his usual high standards channelling deep, sample driven house vibes. the ep opens with “city of storms”, a knowing nod to soulful chicago and a lovely iron curtis rework that seriously does the business. over on the flip we have “puzzle shuffle” which packs lots of energy with the main hook, and will surely be a hit on the dancefloor. for “glass jungle chant” moony me uses a lighter touch with intricate live percussion, lovely chords and a squelchy sub bass.

for its third volume jongno invites old collaborator and friend of the arts laura ingalls to the fold for more obscure korean edit madness. laura ingalls takes it down a notch with his signature endless dub delays and french touch filters, looping kim wan sun into oblivion on top of 707 daft beats, complete with guitar solo geekiness and spliced out vocals. on side b, mysterious digger and editor jongno edit takes the disco to the max on side a with a tina hwang facelift that will make you do the korean shuffle and back. loaded with bass slapness and disco synth toms this will fit right into the late night boogie and day light workout of anyone with a heartbeat.

holland-based planet rhythm usuals dubiosity and pjotr g return to the imprint with a slice of wax that contains 4 delicate and deep cuts all with a corresponding melodious touch to it. “a man is no island” opens up the 4-track effort with heavy drums colliding with devious soundscapes and a heavy sense of adventure. “die in a forest” is a more traditional techno cut that revolves around a tough acid bassline intrusive synth bleeps and firm set of drums. “poisening the well” is a beautifully orchestrated dubbed out cut that goes into the more spaced out territories of modern day techno. “tears in the rain” is an emotive piece of music that thrives because of dramatic sounding pads and off beat drum patterns.

jackie is a biographical film from chilean director pablo larraín. starring natalie portman (black swan) in the title role, the movie follows jacqueline kennedy from the days when she was first lady of the white house to the aftermath of the assassination of john f. kennedy. critically lauded since its debut at the venice film festival where it won the best screenplay award, jackie also received the platform prize at the toronto international film festival and is a heavy favorite going into awards season.
the score to jackie was composed by experimental british musician mica levi, best known for her ethereal score to 2013’s sleeper hit under the skin. mournful and eerie with a touch of the surreal, levi has delivered an unmistakable musical tapestry every bit as iconic as jackie o herself.

six years ago, claremont 56 boss paul ‘mudd’ murphy tried to track down via his dj network, former freeez band-members john rocca and andy stennett to license pink rhythm’s “melodies of love”, for one of the originals compilations. they didn’t show up on the radar.
earlier this year, however, out of the blue, stennett got in touch with murphy. for much of the last two decades, he’d been living on a remote island off orkney, but was now pursuing music again.

tucked away in a now not-so-quiet corner of south east london, wholemeal have been quietly, unobtrusively getting shit done. wholemeal music’s freshman release hits the shelves this month featuring two cuts from yam records boss tom esselle and a hoofing remix from fellow south-londoner west norwood cassette library. skilfully treading the line between house, techno, and jazz, the a-side, until she spoke is a superlative exercise in light-touc h sampling and devastatingly effective rhodes work. it shuffles then stomps, hypnotises then elates, bringing together disparat e threads to create something for the head and the heart. the title track, garibaldi, maintains the light-touch sampling thread and then takes it to a whole new plane of drum-driven dancefloor detonation. twisting chord hits whirl around a savage interplay between bass and drums before dropping back to an elemental pounding, bypassing the brain and heading straight for the feet. long time wholemeal friend and serious contender for the nicest man in music award bob wncl has very kindly picked up garibaldi by the scruff of the neck, grafted an enormous pair of junglist balls onto it and kicked it screaming across t he dancefloor. this is about as peak-time as it gets. wait for the wall of bass after the second drop, its enough to stop you breathing.

ondon-based duo jamka return with inter alia, the latest evidence of their patient, intimate relationship with their analogue machines. from the start there’s a sense of event – we encounter clear, interlaced electronic textures, powerful analogue drones and well-placed beats. the tracks aren’t soundscapes so much as fertile electronic soundfields. patemp continuously expands in an incredibly subtle but powerful way and shows that jamka’s technical skills don’t preclude an emotional touch. on the tight and minimal anazmo, the coiled energy bears traces of minimal techno and radical electronica, but it’s beyond either of these. while the album passes quickly, it’s full of detail and the thoughtfulness and craft that have gone into it are evident. dwa offers the chance to appreciate the flow and the sheen of its analogue textures – the modernist romance of the power line hum and its promise of technological-cultural progress. jamka are known for their dynamic live performances and this energy is almost tangible on derazor. the stately igora is a strong, bold close to the album, offering surprises right till the end. the sharp, metallic details ripple through the mix and an anthemic sequence shines through. inter alia makes clear that jamka are worthy inheritors of slovakia’s proud late modernist traditions of radical architecture and electronic music. this is a work of craft that demands respect and repeated listening.
