on limited edition compact disc. part two of atom tms minimalist, ambient magnum opus, airdrops you into a void of undulating sonic modulation with nothing but the dream of silent huskies for company. schmidt has always been a maestro of harnessing non-repetitive repetition and on texturen ii he takes that to a psychedelic extreme, constructing a smooth within the stereo field. almost imperceptible sheets of binary sleet superimpose themselves on flows of deep, glacial pulse-width gestures. the ensemble is minimal but ever-fluctuating, expansive but hyper-detailed. a frozen mirage. here, the vistas are endless, the peaks illusory, the troughs few and the symmetries pure. eat your rations, try to keep moving and dont go snow blind.

as both a producer and the helmsman of the outis music label, dino sabatini has carved out a distinctive musical style that shows a great reverence for both ancient archetypes and future possibilities for change (see, for example, his mnemosyne co-release with edit select, in which each track is dedicated to a separate greek goddess). with one foot planted in a mysterious past and the other foot planted in a world yet to arrive, sabatiniÕs works are carefully realized emotional journeys that intertwine shimmers of optimism with undercurrents of poignancy or nostalgia.

over the course of the past ten years, stil vor talent has striven to support emerging young artists, to continuously broaden and redefine its sound, and, ultimately, to create lasting memories, both on and off the dance floor. the dance floor is the place where we gather to leave the worries of our everyday lives behind, and, for those few moments, form a bond, which transcends the final track of the night. a bond between each other between the artist and the dancer between ourselves and the music. on 10 years stil vor talent we celebrate this bond and say thank you.

the last 12 months have been a boon for fans of luke vibert, with the veteran cornishman delivering a killer acid album for hypercolour, and a slick, melodious set of disco-inspired jams under his kerrier district alias. here he returns to regular home planet mu with another typically entertaining set inspired by classic british electronic music. utilising his battery of vintage music-making machines, vibert giddily doffs a cap to early 90s intelligent techno, rave-era hardcore, bleep, chicago acid and braindance, occasionally veering off track via easy listening inspired future jazz, wagon christ style hip-hop head-nodders (the title track, which doffs a cap to a forgotten, mid-90s remix he did for ninja tune) and squidgy, synth-propelled mutant electrofunk.

nils frahms late night tales sind eine hypnotische reise durch moderne und klassische komposition, experimentelle elektronik, jazz, dub-techno, filmmusik und soul, gleichsam verstörend wie betörend. viele der tracks, ausgesucht aus seiner reichhaltigen plattensammlung aus schellacks, 7 und lps, kassetten, minidiscs und wav/mp3s, wurden neu editiert und mit effekten versehen. dennoch wirkt die zusammenstellung niemals wie ein mixset, sondern entfaltet sich eher wie eine fluffige daunendecke Über das gemüt des zuhörers. wir begegnen solch unterschiedlichen künstlern wie miles davis, boards of canada und nina simone, während nils frahm selber eine neuinterpretation des john cale tracks 4:33 als exklusives cover beisteuert.

after retiring from the jamaican police force arthur duke reid established his treasure isle liquor store and sound system in pink lane kingston and was crowned the undisputed king of sound and blues in 1956, 57 and in 58. the duke then moved into record production and after relocating the store to 33 bond street, he then built a recording studio on top of his new premises in 1966. according to the musicians and singers the wooden construction of the treasure isle recording studio gave the music a distinctive warmth and richness and with resident engineer byron baron/smithy smith at the controls, the sound of a bond street recording was immediately recognisable.

* mumdance & logos present proto , tectonic s first major release of 2015, set for release on 16th february. * recorded by the duo over 2014, proto is a collection of 10 future-facing club tracks that, against the odds, also provides a deep and involving experience for the listener. * proto focusses on the very brief sparks of innovation when new scenes were just forming and genre rules and paradigm were still grey areas, the early bleep track days when imported american techno was starting to be appropriated by the uk, the 93-94 proto era when hardcore was morphing into jungle and later when the darker sound of tech-step reared its mechanical, dystopian head. * all of this is underpinned with Òwot u call itÓ grime sensibilities and mumdance & logos trademark sonic disortientation. mumdance & logos concentrate on taking the moods and colours created by these leaps forward in sound and twisting them into something new, keeping in line with the futuristic visions of the originators.
