surgeonÕs new full-length, luminosity device, takes bardo thoedol - the tibetan book of the dead - as a starting point for a rhythmic journey into those interstitial spaces where body, mind, and soul no longer seem like distinct categories. it has the potential to turn anything from a club visit to a train commute into a collision with the otherworldly.

oddball space disco/funk tracks, composed between 1970 and 1985. big tip! a master of the mixing board, from the late 60s until the 90s bernard estardy was the wizard of french musical recordings. as head of cbe studios, he shaped everything from gŽrard mansets concept albums to claude franois hit singles, franoise hardys delicate tear-jerkers and michel sardous soul-stirrers. this giant had his hand in the whole range of mainstream french music by making his studio a veritable playground for experimentation. his legendary album la formule du baron, released in 1969, and the eight lps of production music he made between 1974 and 1978 for tele music are vivid proof. in the cbe studio, which she runs today, his daughter julie estardy discussed his singular career.

a remastered version of shenzhou on triple vinyl and double cd with the bonus album-the samphire tower. paul cooper, pitchfork: shenzhou, aside from being the name of the chinese manned-spaceflight vehicles, means magic vessel, and i cant imagine a more apt description for geir jenssen s latest excursion into ambient deep listening. after following an aphexian trajectory with his releases on apollo, the ambient sublabel of belgiums r&s records, jenssen veered from the padded sci-fi-inspired techno of microgravity and patashnik with 1997s substrata, a genre-defining exploration of drifting soundscapes. substrata remains for many the album that perfectly expresses the serenity and intensity of arctic wildernesses, a landscape jenssen knows intimately, having spent much of his life in the norwegian arctic circle. in 2000, jenssen nearly eclipsed the success of substrata with cirque, a frequently frosty submerging of excerpted conversations and found environmental sounds that rivals wolfgang voigts gas project in its rumbling, gauzy beauty. jenssen again relies on found sound as source material for shenzhou, but this time, the found sound is old vinyl recordings of the orchestral works of french impressionist composer and ambient precursor, claude debussy. jenssen lifts fragments of these scratched records in a similar manner as he did for cirques black lamb grey falcon and iberia eterea

this is armada lounge volume 7. forty tunes of staggering beauty and significant musical skill, at times poetic, and at times as careless as an island breeze packed with exclusive tunes, there are acoustic versions of classic records, like marco v & christian burns --frozen- and the wistful live performance of cosmic gate ft. emma hewitt - -be your sound-. dutch producer rodg returns once more with his rendition of lost at sea, and conjure one graces not one but four songs on the album. the second set features heavyweights like paul van dyk, andy moor, gabriel & dresden, chicane, and several tunes from lustral. classic tunes from highly respected artists and fresh recreations of the year s biggest records can all be found here. clearly a labor of love, -armada lounge vol. 7- will surely go down as one of the greatest lounge compilations of our time. this record proves that musicality and vision are still very much alive in 2014, and it reminds us all that the pinnacle of electronic music has still yet to be reached.

minimalized is the highly anticipated debut album from tokyos heavy1, and with its release, he pushes the boundaries of electronic music, and further cements his position as one of the most exciting new artists on the worldwide scene. this standout producer has masterfully composed 11 tracks spanning from hard hitting drum n bass, to musical dubstep, to the albums title track, which is a nod to the analog synthesizers and hardware drum machines of a bygone era. throughout minimalized, heavy1s clinical and precise production is always balanced with intriguing synthesis, lush and emotive songwriting, and punishing percussion and bass. tracks like ongaku or judge with june miller show a more aggressive take on music, and tracks like deep train and light upon my road are more musical and feature stunning original vocals from key mc and iriann joyce, respectively. this body of work truly appeals to anyone with a taste for subtlety, without sacrificing impact. dj support includes loxy, dj marky, makoto, zero t, dj flight, and icicle.

gro§artiges neues signing auf compost! pitchben aus mŸnchen katapultiert den electro funk der 80er jahre ins hier und jetzt. the whispers, d-train oder zapp sind die einflŸsse des mŸnchner musikers und produzenten, der in den 90ern als teenager unter dem namen m-tech seine ersten gehversuche als dj machte. 2002 gewann er die deutschen dmc meisterschaft mit seiner gescratchten interpretation des break machine-hits street dance . mit seinem ersten album pitchslap nimmer der bayer ganz klar bezug auf seine electro funk-helden der 80er, doch geht es ihm eindeutig nicht darum, den sound der vergangenheit authentisch nachzubauen. pitchben ist ein kind der €re nach daft punk und ed banger - und das hšrt man diesen energiegeladenen tracks an. pitchslap ist kein album, das nur am computer entstanden ist. der mŸnchner hat sich neben diversen sŠngern eine blŠser-sektion ins studio geholt, und die streicher kommen ebenfalls nicht aus der konserve. und demnŠchst wird pitchben mit seiner band die bŸhnen der republik rocken.

good price for good music! these words are in the deepest part of douglass greed and the approach to his debut album. he allows his heart to lead, the better to look where it goes. therein he s distributing straight dope, however, in the sense of emotional impact Ð dance floor dictation it is not. greed crafts music that serves up euphoria for your mind on the terrace, mas- sage table, train or car trip and so on. a timeless effect stretches along the borders... an enduring touch, and to remain in the mind for seasons to come is his concern with this album. this is more weeping or laughing in the mirror rather than admiring the physical. douglas discusses not the luxurious but rather simplicity, in order to serve a sophisticated author-future-popfor the club under the bedspread. his fondness for other forms of musical self-realization shimmers on all of his releases up to now. on his own album, he expresses this passion to the fullest. the inclination for sensible beauty in the dark plays as the greed signature, a central role. featuring musician friends such as mooryc (poznan /polen), pascal bideau (a frenchman in london), kemo (a ger- man-hawaiian in new york), ian simmonds (uk) and delhia (jena), greed casts twelve expressive pulse beats of pure greed cosmos

you can forgive a band who set out to create something even just a little bit different and get it horrendously wrong, but its tough to have sympathy for a band who shy away from the challenge altogether. such was the case with autokratz on their first album, animal, which, apart from a passable opening track, consisted of a series of bland electronic pastiches Ð dance music that conversely made the listener want to sit and wait it out. that didnt stop the hype building around the duo, though, thanks in no small part to the fact that the album was released through in-vogue french label kitsunŽ music. the confusing positivity surrounding the lp suggesting, perhaps, that style overcomes substance once a record company has received the hipster seal of approval.this time around, however, kitsune has stepped aside, with autokratz releasing the follow-up on their own label, bad life. but has the sense of responsibility that surely comes with this step made them re-evaluate their direction? has it inspired them to inject a much-needed shot of creativity into their work? not a hope. if anything, autokratz descend even further into mediocrity on self help for beginners. once again, their best tunes are loaded towards the front of the album, starting with the lead single, -opposite of love. its far from outstanding, helped in no small part by the terribly contrived lyrics, but does possess a catchy synth melody Ð enough to earn it a place on club playlists, at least. its a similar story with -becoming the wraith, which has peter hook on hand to deliver an overtly new order-esque bassline. beyond that, however, the quality dips dramatically. tracks like -the seventh seal and -r.i.s.e. are typical of the selection on offer, underwhelmingly vapid, derivative tunes which show up a disappointing, but not totally unexpected, scarcity of guile on the part of their creators.where autokratz do excel is as producers Ð a quality evident not only in their own work, but also in their remixes for other artists. unfortunately, this only serves to exacerbate their deficiencies on the other side of the control room desk. ultimately it may mean that, having failed to address the shortcomings of their debut, autokratz will be fated to be filed under -also rans in the annals of music history. thats assuming, of course, that someone out there will actually remember them at all.

the new album, liquorice, from martin stimming wasnt initially planned to be an album. there was an intrinsic need for him to express what was going on in this period of life. relationship problems led to a very punk, off-whack attitude to his producing. with seven tracks done and dusted, he figured the work was more than just a collection of weird shit, it was a whole new music experienceÉ add another 5 months of studio work, he named it liquorice. definitely hard to pigeonhole - call it minimal, stripped back, dub, experimentalÉ we think >electronic free jazz< comes the closestÉ no sign of a typical 4/4 bass drum at all and stimming has incorporated his trademark use of field recordings, from a marble run, a pizza slicer, a trashcan, a coffee machine, and an ice train shuttling past to name a few. the stimming esque percussion, which is even more radical this time, has been thrown in with all these facets in his massive melting pot, coupled with some dark emotions to create this liquorice. >this time i didnt use all the main events a groove normally has<, recalls martin
