the environmental radiation dose on the moon ep is the first collaboration between zooloft and aconito records. the two labels are twinned in exploring the limits of techno, experimenting with structures and sequences and ultimately arriving at the place where the deep and dark sublimes. the ep opens with the child that was watching the moon a track lifted right out of the drone-techno hymnal. it starts with muddied, subterranean bass and builds not just outwards but inwards. filled with obtuse references and metallic rasps the atmosphere created is obscure and spectral. on the reverse the moon that was watching the child sounds like its been exposed to radiation. the sounds are distorted, as if created from samples of the genome unzipping. the arrangement is stunning, bells filter in and out and the layers smelt into one another. there is awe at work here, but its an awe that remains underpinned by terror. this release, mastered in berlin at the legendary calyx studio, is something of a record collectors dream. it will be released on solid silver vinyl in a very limited edition of just 200 copies. za000ltd should be enjoyed on wax, this wont be available digitally.

pablo mandelbrot claims to be from bar harbor, maine on the north-eastern coast of the u.s.a. when asked about his upbringing he mentions various occupations including sardine canner and quota negotiator as well as hinting at some dark years spent working in the aqua-culture industry. about his music he says little, summing up his productions with the cryptic declaration: >disco is a deep sea<. we are not entirely sure where or when the two tracks on this 12inch were recorded and the only information from mandelbrot himself is that he has sometimes collaborated with the late conny plankton (who also engineered these two tracks), a legendary figure of the maine/nova scotia electronic music scene. pablo also insists that both tracks are >under exclusive license from lob-starr records<, although we have never heard of this label and their representatives have yet to contact us. we hope you enjoy these two slices of hypnoboogie disco, smoked, cured and de-boned for your convenience.

in the world of factory presets, default settings and copy-paste ethics, there are few artists that actually care to make a difference. and -who told you that?-, 29th release on warsaw recognition label, is certainly a voice to be heard. the title track is another subtle narrative from label boss jacek sienkiewicz. eerie chord and a solid, damp beat from the start are underpinned by sherds of dialogue - snippets of words and laughter keep coming back in the mix, providing some sort of uneasy commentary towards todays minimal house formula. but at some point the voices disappear - and then the tracks gently goes somewhere outside the boundaries of todays club music, somewhere otherworldly. this shift, albeit amazingly subtle, is a leap towards music free of any defined context, far beyond dancefloor and definitely original. if this sneak peak into the possible futures of manmachine induced visions is too much to handle, there is still the b-side of this release. two tracks here - both clocking around mere 5 minutes - are prime exercises in compact, clever, tight and efficient club tools. uplifting -cobalt drive- is bound to to be quoted and reworked into many forms of a late-night burner. patefon, on the other hand, is a peak-time stormer with its stuttering chords and moody samples, supposedly picked from some vintage shellac discs

matt moroder - one half of the team that brought you the short-lived but no less notorious glossy series - unearthes his new ambitious -little leaf- project compiling other producers and his own reworks of songs that are not your usual disco/ boogie fare but demand a true diggers and imaginative djs mind to spot their dancefloor potential. matt moroder proves this ability right away with the blinding, hypnotizing >secret secret< - an interpretation of a cut by one the biggest, most avantgardistic 70s rock/ pop icons. he extends a short portion of the originals beat, loops the jagged guitar riff and throws in more layers of congas, shaker, handclaps etc before revealing the tracks secret by throwing in parts of the chorus sung by this totally distinctive, instantly recognizable voice. flip over for spanish producer nelues take on >porque te vas< - a one hit wonder song that had worldwide success after being the main theme in carlos saura cannes-winning movie >cria cuervos<. already an unusual mixture in its original form - breathy lolitaesque vocals gel ingeniously with a more 60s bubblegum orchestration of horns, big beats and folky guitar - nelue does a great job with sublte loops and additional bubbly synth overdubs while keeping the sing-a-long charm intact. both tracks already recieve well-desereved support from mark-e, gilb-r ( chateau flight ), beppe loda, tim sweeney and more main players. these two big cuts shouldnt need extra arguments, but since mr moroder is a generous guy he also throws in some extra special, lush artwork for this vinyl only release
