hot off the heels of the beautiful obsolete machines lp released this month, radiuss cassette demo restoration project returns to form with the interpolation tapes series. the original source tapes had aged, warped and degraded and as a result we ve preserved the best segments, sampled and reprocessed with a vintage prophet 2000 sampler, studio 440 and various linn samplers to add depth and range to the original source material. we ve spent nearly an entire year restoring and interpolating over 100 hours of music, processing sound and redesigning the blueprints of this long forgotten project. every track was originally recorded down to an old tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards. we ve had nearly every component replaced and re-calibrated to bring this obsolete machine back to life. it s been a truly nostalgic experience re-visiting and re-arranging these masters, regardless of the time passed, there s so much depth in sound design, raw emotions and when considering the limitations of hardware in the era these were recorded, they ve truly aged like a fine wine. we hope you enjoy this magical time in music, as we are very inspired by all that was happening in those years, theres undeniably something in the air, a mystifying energy, long may it live on.

energie pur! kanadisches fusion-kollektiv zŸndet die nŠchste groove-rakete.
das sechskšpfige souljazz orchestra aus ottawa ist fŸr ein orchester zwar etwas klein geraten, dafŸr fallen spielfreude und selbstverstŠndnis auf sympathische weise grš§er aus. seit 2002 ist das politisch sendungsbewusste sextett in der originalbesetzung unterwegs, und wurde dabei schon dreimal fŸr den kanadischen juno award nominiert. ihre lyrisch starken texte verpacken die kanadier vielseitig und multilingual mit 80er-vintage-synthies in tropische lo-fi-tanznummern, die von einflŸssen aus soul, ethio-jazz, sixties-funk, afrobeats und latin zehren. 2007 gelang der band mit -mista president- ein internationaler club-hit, der nicht nur das interesse von gilles peterson weckte, sondern auch die tŸr zum label strut (mulatu astatke, ebo taylor, idris ackamor & the pyramids) šffnete. dort erschienen die alben -rising sun- (2010), -solidarity- (2012), -inner fire- (2013) und zuletzt -resistance- (2015). in dieser zeit kam es zu kollaborationen mit musikern von nigeria bis ruanda und kuba bis haiti. bei seinen zahlreichen ausverkauften shows teilte sich das kollektiv die bŸhne mit musikalischen schwergewichten wie femi kuti, stevie wonder und bob dylan. auch -under burning skies- zeichnet sich durch einen passionierten, analog produzierten groove-mix aus, der einfach nur glŸcklich macht.

die klingt genau so, wie sie hei§t: farbenprŠchtig, schwurbelig, episodenhaft und manchmal richtig schšn beknackt. siriusmo nistet sich auch mit seinem dritten album wieder an seinem ganz eigenen plŠtzchen in der elektronischen musik ein, indem er alle mšglichen stile und vorlieben durch seinen persšnlichen filter schickt, notorisch tiefstapelt, ma§los Ÿbertreibt und immer auf dem punkt landet. siriusmo ist der vordenker, der gar keiner sein will. comic ist ein perfekt unperfektes selbstportrŠt und enthŠlt in des meisters eigenen worten 14 bunte geschichten zum selbstausmalen. aber keine bange, diese geschichten erwachen von ganz allein zum leben. vergleiche sind ŸberflŸssig, nur einer drŠngt sich auf: sowohl melodische vintage-electro-romanzen wie dagoberta als auch fuchsteufelswilde arrangements wie bleat ziehen parallelen zu alten squarepusher-platten. statt jazz und jungle bestimmt bei moritz eben die berliner sozialisation den sound.

aus gro§en melodien und strapazierfŠhigen elektronischen teppichen gestrickt, ist -love what survives- gewisserma§en die essenz ihres bisherigen schaffens, indem verschiedene gesangsgŠste und musikerpersšnlichkeiten (james blake, micachu, king krule) hinzukommen, um gemeinsam zu experimentieren, formen neu zu denken, dinge auszuradieren, mit pop-†berlieferungen zu spielen, alles zusammen wachsen zu lassen. die neuen tracks entstanden grš§tenteils auf zwei vintage-synthesizern (korg ms-20, korg delta), die beide, so die band, diese -punkige, schloddrige qualitŠt hŠtten, die an robert wyatt erinnert-, die mit ihrem industrial-einschlag und dem unverkennbar direkten sound mount kimbie zu ihrem neuesten sound-update bewegen sollten. der pulsierende motorik-beat der single -blue train lines- zum beispiel schickt king krule direkt auf die †berholspur, von wo aus er seine zerklŸfteten vokalsalven abgeben kann. die offene, ausladende aura der platte ist ferner der tatsache geschuldet, dass sie zwischen london und los angeles entstanden ist, zwei standorten, zwischen denen das duo pendelte, um gemeinsame sessions zu veranstalten und ideen zu verfeinern

framed by two spoken word samples and wrapped in house and techno emotions, that know about electro and 90Õs electronica too: the new, second album of the leipzig and berlin based producer and live artist martin enke aka lake people moves in a fresh way. this time he shifts towards a focus on the essentials of electronic club music: sounds and groove, rough and playful interweaved with the aesthetic particles of techno. with his Òpoint epÓ, released on the berlin based imprint krakatau records in late 2012, his creative life as a producer for melancholic driven club tunes took off. several top notch djs played the tune Òpoint in timeÓ, lake people started to tour world-wide with his mesmerizing live set and produced countless remixes for colleagues from all around the globe. in 2015 he finally released his first album Òpurposely uncertain fieldÓ on the munich based label permanent vacation and delivered eleven tracks at the interface of techno, ambient, experimental and electronic, that bewitch with hymnal chords, yearningly melodies, detailed production, elaborate sound design and an overall introspective, emotive feeling. now, just shortly after he published a fresh ep on the dresden based imprint uncanny valley, lake people drops Òphase transitionÓ, a new album consisting of ten haunting tracks full of dance suspense. he recorded all between 2016 and early 2017 on various vintage analog synthesizers, uad and other creative interfaces. to find out if his latest pure slamming tracks work deep, he tried them out during his live shows in order to catch some new ideas directly from the dance floor.

der wahlberliner dauwd al hilali, der in den letzten jahren vor allem durch seine ep-releases auf labels wie ghostly international oder kompakt auffiel, veršffentlicht nun sein debŸtalbum -theory of colours- auf ninja tunes tochterlabel technicolour. inspiriert von legenden der 50 & 60er jahre wie terry riley oder raymond scott, nahm dauwd einen gro§teil des albums Ÿber den zeitraum eines jahres in den berŸhmten sonar traffic studios in utrecht auf, in dem eine der grš§ten europŠischen sammlungen an vintage synthesizern und anderem modular-equipment stehen. fertig gestellt wurde das 7-song starke album letztes jahr in berlin, wo er auch die berŸchtigte african acid is the new future party co-organisiert, welche er als basis zwischen seinen dj-touren und festivalauftritten auf der ganzen welt nutzt. - cd: digipak
