subtlety is not the first word used in connection with most djs, but there is much more the métier of germany s gregor tresher than simply playing records, as lights from the inside attest: just as a painting or photograph appears to move if one stares at it long enough, with close listening the stratified grooves and melodies assembled on gregor s stunning third full-lenght artist album reveal an organic universe of shifting sound. meticulous attention to the latter element—melody—was of utmost concern to the frankfurt resident. not obvious, eight-bar earworms that would quickly exhaust their welcome, but musical lines that could repeat, develop and intertwine in different patterns. in this regard, lights from the inside harks back to gregor tresher s earlier releases, but as always his sound aesthetic continues to evolve in new directions.

remastered at masterpiece.

la fleurs certified hit, the flowerhead ep, launched her power plant records imprint into the stratosphere in 2010. following the flowerhead ep would be no easy task, but its one that young danish talent jesper ryom takes in his stride. the second chapter of power plant records story exists within jesper ryoms refined musical universe, where samples and live guitar merge and mesh for a kaleidescopic whole thats greater than its parts. as ryom drifts in a dream-dance state, he delves further into sonic experimentation, but is ever mindful of the dancer and the dj.

forma (mark dwinell, sophie lam, & george bennett) emerged on the nyc minimal synth scene in 2010 with a singular vision of cosmic krautrock for a new age. on their eponymous debut lp, the brooklyn-based electronics trio merges the melodic flow and primitive rhythms of their motorik predecessors with the hypnotic drones of minimalism, creating an intricate work both addicting and rewarding with repeat listens. like many of the lp s eleven tracks, the churning and relentless forma237b draws its energy from a precarious equilibrium between structural rigidity and free improvisation, a dynamic at the heart of forma’s universe. with lush, distant soundscapes as interludes between these peaks, forma’s inaugural full-length is a harmonious and expansive expression of the enduring power of kosmische musik.

the soft rocks camp launches a newly minted label in the shape of kinfolk, whose intention is to showcase rising talent and fully indulge the experimental. the first release from maurice & charles smacks it right in the spot - you may have enjoyed the loose vocal acid throb of a side hugger moroder in milan on sir wevver s recent 6 mix show. there isn t a recommendation that comes any higher than that! on the flip, mo & charlie indulge their floaty balearic side with underneath the universe which also contains a pleasant undercurrent of bubbling acid. the same track is twisted inside out and taken to the new forest by the soft rocks crew themselves on an expansive dubbed out refix notable for some rather tasty metallic 808 hits

rrocckkett 88 is a suite of 45 dazzling instrumental tracks - ranging from 30 seconds to 2 minutes long - alternating between rhythmic and atmospheric forms, all composed on a single synthesizer, the ensoniq sq 80 (manufactured in 1988). as the inspiration for this creation, zano bathroom (an illustrator, artist, and sound experimentalist based in atlanta) used jackie brenstons song, >rocket 88<, considered by many to be the first de facto rock and roll song.
with rrocckkett 88, the artist invented the story of his music. he conceived a fantasy music production house in the mid 80 s in new orleans where hip hop, house, techno, r & b, go go, punk and new wave are both the backdrop and inspiration. using these themes zano bathroom has imagined a comic strip score, made of video game music and tv commercial soundtracks creating a playful, disposable universe.
these seven inch singles on hollie records are the first official release of rrocckkett 88 and this selection of seven pieces is a good representation of the suite as a whole.
limited edition of 300 hand numbered seven inch singles with artwork by zano.

becoming real is a young producer residing in a forgotten suburbia, busy channeling his very own postapocalyptic vision of london. a spectre-like entity flitting between a range of electronic frequencies, his self-termed >ghost-step< sound is as much influenced by a conceptual future dystopia as by luminaries zomby & mount eerie. re-imagining the iciest of grime synths through a warped k records aesthetic, becoming real has forged a frozen universe that still retains an unequivocally human feel. charged with future-dread, this is music for seas drowned in oil, tar-coated forest landscapes, and a prophesised world of underwater clubs and haunted dancefloors. after a sold out debut white label release last year, becoming real is ready to emerge in 2010 with the release of >fast motion< / jens clock<, backed with a scratcha dva remix of fast motion.

ross alexander payne has always been interested in the earth and its relationship to all in its vicinity, this includes earths place within the universe, and the presence upon earth of both natural and manmade systems and processes. drift and expansion are tracks designed to represent a view of earth from space. it was previously believed that the earth was expanding and thus the continental land masses were moving as a result of this process. modern scientific evidence does not support this idea, and the theory of plate tectonics is now almost universally accepted. this ep represents a view of the idea of these two disparate theories as if taken from the direct space around earth. ross explains in his words >everything i do, be it music related or otherwise, is driven by this fascination with the universe around me, the quest to discover this universe and the desire to expand my knowledge of all within it<

2009 was a great year for these days records, and 2010 promises to be even better. the platform stood out for its innovative yet functional club sound and unique artwork concepts. the new year begins with a new split series under the name universal consciousness, based on the idea of connection between all things, and that all things have been coordinated, and they combine to make up the same universe. the first part is dedicated to two very different takes on spiritual, cosmic space techno. on the a-side argys >sometimes im blind< generates a long and uplifting emotional climax, which features a solo that will forever stay in your heart. the track was recorded at the end of 2008, and despite numerous offers to release the record elsewhere, nothing was finalised and the recording never saw the light of day. soon after the birth of his own label, it naturally fit the platform and seemed a perfect way to start the new year. on the flip side, sheffield born alexander ross, brings forth a cavernous techno piece awash with reverberation and spacial echos that brings a driving yet non the less emotionally captivating moment perfectly in balance with the depth of the a-side.

with smashing contributions by electro lord legowelt from dirty brown the hague and bleep addict garçon taupe from the bourgeois slums of amsterdam, narrominded presents the fourth installment in its renowned split lp series. both sides of this split lp comprise a whole ep in length, and the contributions have in common that they are both deeply rooted in electro music.
on garçon taupes wittenburg ep, eighties infected drum computer beats and heavy bass lines pave the way for some rather cheerful and unpretentious melodies. the five tracks were mixed to tape at rude 66s triple six lounge studio, and reveal influences from electronic pioneers like yellow magic orchestra and mantronix, to todays acid freaks like luke vibert and like a tim. the end result is a catchy mixture of electro and acid.
legowelt explores the darker corners of electronic music in four tracks leaning on eerie vocals and grungy electro beats. his land rovers in astrophysics ep takes us to mysterious environments. we are spacing out on the force of the stars, the universe, etc, and dancing to hypnotic drums on a mystical trip to pago pago west samoa. legowelt not only knows how to to satisfy a dance floor, but is also capable of deeply appealing to the listeners imagination.
