die zweite runde von remixen zu dem selbst betitelten album von urbs ist eine fesselnde zusammenstellung von zeitlosen hiphop sowie downtempo nummern. marc mac: gibt es zu dieser person etwa noch was zu sagen? als teil des uk duos 4hero hat er musikgeschichte geschrieben und sein visioneers projekt setzte neue standards in sachen organischem hiphop. sein remix zu get wid it featuring tyna aus neuseeland, besitzt alles, was man sich von diesem musikgenie erwartet. ein souliges, harmonisches meisterwerk, welches auch auf einem seiner legendären visioneers alben hätte veröffentlicht werden können. peter kruder hat als teil von kruder & dorfmeister sowie mit seinem projekt peace orchestra musikgeschichte geschrieben. sein remix zu happy days feat. bagi und sarah ann ist eine reise zurück zu seinen musikalischen wurzeln, welche ihn berühmt gemacht haben eine relaxte downtempo-nummer. der remix weckt erinnerungen an die zeit, als seine musik millionen von menschen berührte.

it has been eleven long years since urbs dropped his last album which was called “toujours le meme film”. back then, the musician, dj and producer created the soundtrack to a fictitious film noir, which was released on kruder & dorfmeister‘s g-stone label, but after touring europe he almost completely retreated from public life. he does not consider his creativity as being his career, but rather as a part of his life which rarely is subject to concrete planning, and that is why urbs quite consciously took his time to create his latest –untitledalbum.

zum kommenden album des aus wien stammenden djs & produzenten urbs, veröffentlicht beat art department eine ep mit remixen von retrogott, brenk sinatra und cookin soul. es handelt sich nicht um ein instrumental-album, sondern um eine sammlung mit zwölf souligen hip hop-nummern, die mit handverlesenen vokalisten der internationalen rap-, dancehall- und soul-szene aufwarten. neben den new yorkern wordsworth von emc sowie r.a. the rugged man, finden sich u.a. ward 21 aus kingston, jamaika, voice monet aus new orleans, blu rum 13 von one self aus washington dc, als auch alte weggefährten wie der wiener skero oder der wahl-münchner blabbwona von abstract art auf dem album.

after excursions into hip hop, rap and film music austrian producer and musician urbs has returned to the downtempo and triphop styles that were the cornerstones of his most successful work, discovering his very own niche along the way. using obscure samples as well as traditional instrumentation for his impressionistic instrumental pieces he takes us to „geheimland“, the secret land of our imagination...

mei zhiyong had been instrumental in arranging dp’s tour of china. when mei zhiyong and dave phillips first met in beijing in july 2014, mei spoke not a word of english and dp not a word of chinese. and they we were to embark on an 18 city tour together. verbal communication between mei and dp was obviously difficult to say the least. it would often result in comical misunderstandings, total puzzlement or bewilderment, but it would also be a source of constant amusement with wonderful moments of instinctive trust. but then there is sound, the ultimate language… to return the favor, dp arranged a tour for mei and himself in october 2015 through 20 european cities. which is where the source material was recorded. dp then selected, dissected and transformed those recordings to work out something different, not just a collaboration, not just an amalgam of two styles, but something new for both. the compositions on this lp are the result.

ondon-based duo jamka return with inter alia, the latest evidence of their patient, intimate relationship with their analogue machines. from the start there’s a sense of event – we encounter clear, interlaced electronic textures, powerful analogue drones and well-placed beats. the tracks aren’t soundscapes so much as fertile electronic soundfields. patemp continuously expands in an incredibly subtle but powerful way and shows that jamka’s technical skills don’t preclude an emotional touch. on the tight and minimal anazmo, the coiled energy bears traces of minimal techno and radical electronica, but it’s beyond either of these. while the album passes quickly, it’s full of detail and the thoughtfulness and craft that have gone into it are evident. dwa offers the chance to appreciate the flow and the sheen of its analogue textures – the modernist romance of the power line hum and its promise of technological-cultural progress. jamka are known for their dynamic live performances and this energy is almost tangible on derazor. the stately igora is a strong, bold close to the album, offering surprises right till the end. the sharp, metallic details ripple through the mix and an anthemic sequence shines through. inter alia makes clear that jamka are worthy inheritors of slovakia’s proud late modernist traditions of radical architecture and electronic music. this is a work of craft that demands respect and repeated listening.

swag classics centeres around some sought after reissue fare from the croydons legendary swag records label. these are 2 expensive double a side vinyl cuts - almost unaffordable if bough 2nd hand. so this is a very democratioc re release for fans of the label
(if any)think croydon and a few things come to mind, kate moss, punk band the damned, crystal palace football club, peep show and of course dubstep, the now world conquering music genre that will forever be linked to the south london suburb. what you never hear though, is any mention of tech house, another world conquering music genre. and to be honest we’re a little bit peeved about that. because if tech house has a spiritual home it’s croydon, and that is due mainly to swag records and the people that gravitated towards the humble west croydon record shop and studio.

enigmatic artists from eastern europe had a ace in their sleeve when they came out with the project of suburbs. they come up with the most mystical sound for their first ep on archipel under “plaeisii.” the strange classical texture swirl with a very lush rhythm that at first, appear to be extremely predictable but then, as you listen carefully, you get caught up on the most capturing pattern. the main song as well as amorf both are music for the soul and will be played in very special moment that will have people close their eyes to enjoy the shifting mood.

its been a year since francis inferno orchestra’s last hit for superconscious records ’harmony’ shredded it’s way into record bags across the globe, now, twelve months on, he returns with his latest 12’ oasis and a time . the a-side consists of two versions of the lead track ’oasis . the celestial body mix’ which is a dreamy uptempo dance escape, and the erotikk mix which gives a nod to early italian dfc records and the sounds of deep forest. on the flip, mating rituals of the eastern suburbs is a devoted chant to the humble inhabitants of the suburb of burwood in melbourne.

hugo gerani’s esplore ep launches on cosi cosi - a freewheeling meander through a super casual house sound. it is true ‘club music’ built between social interactions and environments, with all the spice and intrigue of chance encounters and missed connections.
on the a, ‘she’s lying (roe st on the fone mix)’ channels the boisterous yet untroubled late night activity that goes into its namesake. it’s a perfectly broiled and basted club tune - a real, suburban classic. elsewhere there are organic and effusive beats, blinking with sensorial curiosities and vocal suggestions as well as elements of stark, scandinavian techno.

two and a half minutes of drums rolling under a whirlwind of cranky guitars and vocals arguing from the bottom of a 1990’s boom box, that’s 51 black super. 11 tracks and 30 minutes to cross the usa, from california with pavement and weezer to ohio with guided by voices and the raspberries. 51 black super isnt a band to get lost on its way, or in futilities. written, composed, recorded in an emergency, with short and intense sessions, the debut album by 51 black super is made in the image of its creators: spontaneous and eager to get things out there. sounds like the strokes with less cocaine and more facial hair, said a californian rock critic after listening the two first few tracks.

mit seinem 2014 veröffentlichten album *outta here* hat das wiener duo tosca bewiesen, dass man auch nach einer zwei jahrzehnte andauernden karriere zu positionswechseln in der lage ist. das magazin clash sprach gar von der beeindruckendsten und grundlegendsten musik ihrer karriere. richard dorfmeister und rupert hubert hatten sich nach sieben alben, auf denen sie die welt des downtempo und der chill-out-musik zu definieren halfen, entschlossen, den dancefloor für sich zu entdecken. wobei sie nicht umhin kommen, einige traditionen zu bewahren: auf *shopsca*, einer überarbeiteten version von *outta here*, betrachten sie jeden albumtrack aus einer radikal neuen perspektive, von hartem drei-uhr-morgens-techno und electronica bis zu spacigem dub und darüber hinaus. für fans von laidback, rainer trüby, kraak + smaak, kalabrese, lord echo, stee downes, silvercity, ltj experience, rodney hunter, smith + mudd, blundetto, nightmares on wax, the avener. das doppelvinyl erscheint mit cd.

having launched with a various artists double pack last year, the untold series returns with a new release that retains this approach, as well the yellow and black vinyl colour scheme, -respectively representing the sun and the darkness-. entitled chapter 1, this double vinyl release features eight new artists whose productions still fall under the banner of spirituality that seems integral to the untold series. very much an international collection, south american furz commences proceedings with the latinised minimalist -420error- and from here chapter 1 runs the gamut of minimal techno with particular highlights coming from andrey zots and exercise in broken techno abstraction, pheek s playful -interne-, and the villalobos-esque -regarde le ciel- from suburbs. here s to further chapters please

uk promoter arkitekt has commissioned robert dietz to helm its first mix compilation.

after spending 6 months of last year holed up writing in his london studio, charlie joined forces with acclaimed producer danton supple (coldplay, doves) to begin recording his debut solo album. the result is an accomplished 12 track record that oozes with vintage warmth and whose luscious melodies and occasional imperfections lend it a vibrant character and earnest charm. lead single -down down down- was rapturously received by charlies fans including fearne cotton who made it record of the week on radio 1.

north london trio lets wrestle have been with us since 2007 when, as precocious teens, they unveiled their smart-yet-indolent take on classic underground rock disenfranchisement Ð the fall meets buzzcocks in 21st century suburbia, effectively Ð immediately gaining favour with scenesters like art bruts eddie argos and landing them a deal with bijou indie imprint, stolen. 2009s sparky, cheekily titled in the court of the wrestling lets album debut followed, winning universally positive notices and establishing frontman wesley patrick gonzalez as a wry, singular wordsmith, mature beyond his still tender years.
