the fifth record on new york trax is by løt.te, the turkish-born, brooklyn-based dj, producer and designer affiliated with the bunker new york by virtue of two well-received vinyl releases. this politically charged ep titled ‘state of exception’ is løt.te’s personal reflection on the current social and political climate in turkey. with rhythmic synths brought to the foreground, løt.te committed a masterpiece that only a skilled and thoughtful artist like himself can. the opening ‘ultra vires’ is a relentless synth-driven warehouse track mercilessly rolling at the speed of 140bpm. the deeper ausnahmezustand follows, it is a reflective and rhythmical piece perfect for both home listening and the dance floor. 15.07.2016 opens the b side with its tense yet playful atmosphere and numerous constantly evolving layers of sound. finally, graft is a shockingly intense introspective piece. crafted with japanese taiko drums and digital synthesizers pushed to their limits, it is a lesson in perfect sound design

samuel rohrer, the multi-faceted, forward-thinking percussio- nist and producer behind the arjunamusic label, the ambiq trio and a wealth of other musical projects, has set out on his own with a new full-length solo album range of regularity as a double ep set with a deceptive title if ever there was one: the sonic experience of this record is, in fact, a highly irregular one (and a highly welcome one at that). constructed almost entirely upon electronically-treated recordings of acoustic in- strumentation, with a bare minimum of synthesizer voicing, ror vibrates with a compelling organicism as if old-growth black forest trees had conspired together to make an album of ultra-modern improvisational music. indeed, the record feels limned with contributions from some other intelligence, despite being a clear extension of the fluid, percussion-driven musical technique that rohrer has exhibited in previous years.

given the underground acclaim heaped on marie davidson s previous albums - ultra-stylish affairs that blend elements of minimal wave, dark italo-disco, off-kilter electro and moody ambient - it s little surprise to see her popping up on minimal wave offshoot cititrax. the album s nine tracks are largely sharp, rough and fuzzy, with sparse-but-dense drum machines rhythms underpinning bouncy, delay-laden synth lines, thrusting electronics and davidson s sleazy, spoken word vocals. it s an attractive combination that guarantees thrills throughout, from the almost claustrophobic throb of -denial-, to the mutant electrofunk bounce of -good vibes-.

for their tenth release, voodoo down has again chosen to debut a new act to add to their label roster. andy harper and nic ford have been making music together for over a decade but began releasing in earnest under the name maddermodes in 2014 on their own label, shift coordinate points. they have since put out records on the labels millions of moments and night drive music. their handful of releases have already drawn support from top names like move d and nick höppner, and its clear that the duos sound is only getting more refined with each successive record. the ep entitled emprical evidence is a wholly cinematic piece of work, spread across four tracks that unravel slowly, unified by a theme of pumping syncopated rhythms under sprawling pad and string progressions. its easy to get lost in the thick arrangements, and the inventive use of samples and melodic elements invite repeat listening. equally suitable for early morning hours, ultra-deep techno sets, or quiet home listening sessions.

they say coincidence is a word with no meaning, because nothing happens without a reason. within this spectre of oddity and positivity, randomness or alleged fortune, the hamburg based electro pop duo me succeeds places their new album “into randomness”. the style ranges from house to hip-hop beats to experimental parte to pop music. all underlining the fragile, captivating vocals of front singer mona steinwidder.
