it’s time for another prruk sampler. prruk104 combines four of the names that have circulating through the label s discography in recent times. for the a side we have self reflektion label owner stranger with a peak time warehouse anthem called “thinner” which uses heavy syncopated percussion sounds which dominate the whole track. for the a2, hans boufffmyhre comes up with a distorted bit of techno action that will definitely turn some heads. london based jamie haus opens up the b side with a psychotic anthem whilst ear to ground head honcho gareth wild closes down with a more emotional rave cut.

fantastic voyage’s autumn 2015 release of soul for dancers proved so successful, that we didn’t have to think twice when lois wilson (mojo, record collector) asked if she could do it all over again. it turns out that there were plenty more classic sides in her dj crates, drawing on that rich seam of early soul and proto-soul rhythm & blues, of the sort that would have packed the dancefloors on the sixties club scene, or has been embraced by subsequent generations of club soul diehards.

holiday 80s sophomore whiskey disco ep exhibits the upward trajectory of the mysterious polish duo. their first ep showcased slower, smoother sounds, whereas these four songs showcase the grittier side of polish music, one slightly less fashionable, until now. each song is dance-floor-proven to turn out. from the sexy psychedelia of truncheon man and male jeziora to the left-ward jazz house of juhas zmarl and fm cool of letnia milosc. many wd buyers thought their first ep to be finest record on the label, get mokotuff before it s gone too.

alex aq constructed “don’t break” and “shake it” as a reflection of the sounds heard at the club. pounding drums, rhythmic, scattered synths, white noise, and choice vocal snips that send you into a trance are the core characteristics of both tracks created by the cubanmeister.

wir bei seayou records freuen uns über das signing der kanadischen soulsängerin erin costelo. die erste single “fighter” ist der vorbote zu ihrem neuen album “down below, the status quo”, das seayou in europa im april veröffentlichen wird. während klassischer soul und pop am vorgänger “we can get over” die verzückung des aufkeimens einer liebesbeziehung untermalten, dominiert am neuen album ein ungeschönter, ein unerschrockener blick auf costelos (und unser aller) leben, besonders gut zu hören in songs wie “fighter”, “low” und “titanic”. auf der anderen seite, und um die balance zu halten, stehen lieder wie “move” und “turn it on”, die hoffnung und kraft geben sollen. mit der inhaltlichen geht auch eine musikalische evolution einher, eine weiterentwicklung costelos als produzentin, songwriterin und arrangeurin. dazu eine eindringliche soul-stimme, die weder in nordamerika noch in europa vergleiche scheuen muss.

after a two year hiatus graded is back with label founder midland at the controls and its been worth the wait. graded003 picks up where midlands 2013 drumtrak left off, left of centre club music for warehouses and basements alike. the a-side blush first aired during a particularly warm boiler room recording in milan last summer. it turned heads on the night and has garnered endless id requests on the recording ever since. stuttering rolling percussion and a synth line as bold as it is unusual make this one a very strong club tool. on the b-side outpost and holdup take a deeper turn, rich in suspense and expertly programmed drums, theyre unmistakably midland productions drawn from the more obscure corners of his sound pallet.

on silicon tare, the sci-fi story that seth haley, who records as com truise, began on the galactic melt lp and continued on the wave 1 ep takes a dark turn. at the conclusion of wave 1, the protagonist, earth’s first synthetic astronaut, successfully makes contact with the far-off wave 1 colony but, once he does, things get fuzzy. he falls in love, there is a war coming. a story that began in hope and dreams of discovery ends on an uncertain note. change is in the air.

james k is a stranger to obviousness. over the past few years the new york native has quietly honed her sound and peculiar aesthetic. equally organic and electronic, her sound is a combination of odd dreams, industrial beats and vocals, both incomprehensible and appealing, with a thick layer of glitter on top of it. james k is a concentrated dose of emotion mixed with sorrowful iciness, which in turn ties together ripped, broken, morphed and enchanted samples. james k stands for a fusion of visual and sonic elements, deeply rooted in conscious art practice and downright freak-out. james k creates a mythology of her own. pet, her first lp due out in early 2016, will be a co-release with dial and her own label, she rocks!

ultimate care ii is the new album from renowned conceptual electronics duo matmos (drew daniel and m.c. schmidt). recorded in the basement studio of their home in baltimore, the album is constructed entirely out of the sounds generated by a whirlpool ultimate care ii model washing machine. like its namesake, the album runs across its variations as a single, continuous thirty eight minute experience that starts with the grinding turn of the wash size selection wheel, and ends with the alert noise that signals that the wash is done.

this is a city of contradicting systems and clashing elements. its morphology becomes a direct representation of a poly-rhythmic frenzy, avoiding any attempt of crystallization into a single entity. hi hats become columns, snares turn into repeating arcades and drum kicks form encompassing volumes. this is the architecture of the absurd, where reality as a single vision is no longer possible. as music helps us escape our bound dimension through obsessive repetitions, this city wants to be a materialization of this transcendental power.

whirling hall of knives is a collaboration between trensmat founders magnetize and the last sound. harsh smouldering circuits and eruptions of panicky white noise have a profoundly unsettling quality, a sense of gnawing paranoia but interspersed with moments of almost euphoric epiphany, as if in the grip of an unshakeable 4am psychosis a growing sense that the door will be kicked in at any second and the world outside will come pouring in. psyche electronics of a particularly greasy and grime-flecked hue... the remix comes courtesy of downwards duo, talker. the american duo of karl meier and jon krohn (a.k.a stave) turn in a heavyweight version of vacuulum on the flip...

on november 13th, pnn records will release the debut album of its most enigmatic artist myr. diamondbacks make wonderful pets is more than just a strange name, it nine tracks represent an exciting evolution in myr.s trajectory as an artist. following his debut ep nobody knows avalon myr. seems to have dug deep and discovered another level to his sound. each of the tracks on the record are confidently offbeat and precisely composed.a little-bitty bowl (with b.hotton), mixes thunder sound-effects with glitchy synth bleeps, layering them above darker tones which build to a perfect storm in the middle. this 10 minute track fails to get boring and is representative of the album as a whole. myr.s ability to carry off strange hybrids is what makes his music unique. from the ghostly warbles of i think i hear them coming to the sunnier sounds of eleanor, myr.s disregard for the norm has lead to an exceptional record that surprises at every turn.
