trikk s follow-up on the innervisions imprint is an evidence for his deeply anchored exploration of combining the mystical modern and traditional percussive to create new visions of house.

arapus eccentric visions on the music some of us shallowly label as techno seem like a match made in an utopic electronic heaven as they crossed paths with the eclectic minds behind understand.
2 straight to the point tracks, bearing the same hypnotic groove entrenched deep into the bassline, twined with electro stems and looped around some schizoid voices.
whatever your perspective is on electronic music, wasted ego won’t fall under any category. a perfect addition to the understand’s series.

for the third binary cells imprint, the word is given to marla singer. -re-20- is a powerful industrial techno stepper combined with driving raw mechanic beats. b side includes bas mooy and endlec visions. the dutch and greek artists are delivering two massive remixes, transforming this ep in a brutal straight and effective dj tool.

almost a year has passed since the ghost of serena butler made its appearance on the realms of eerie - techno oddball marco shuttle’s label. now s/he and other beings gave birth to a new continuum, bene tleilax, where serena’s second ep, “from the cloud to our bodies”, has been conceived.
dub visions and found sound sculptures float over a maelstrom of skeletal techno remains, together with delicate melodies and vocal swarms from a realm where nothing is so sacred that it cannot be reengineered and transformed. this is a release which seizes alienation as impetus to generate new worlds while remaining still counter-trend to certain dark souls in modern electronic music. another biomechanical effort which sounds like the perfect nexus of fluid hopes and unparalleled roles.

that crystalline moment we all know too well. what was saturday night has become sunday morning. pleading with sleep to come while piecing together the last few hours of the party you’ve just left. few would claim to be at their most productive at this ungodly hour. not hekkla, this is when he gets down to work.
the nachtbraker ep is the product of several of these post club jam sessions. or in the words of the artist “the same places revisited again and again in the midst of night.” translated from the dutch word “night owl”, hekkla’s latest extended play delivers on it’s promise, serving 4 cuts of floor filling goodness ready for breakfast.

producer, dj and visual artist, dreams, has become a standout voice in the los angeles electronic landscape. the following he’s amassed locally is due, in part, to his own imprint, private selection, who’s focus so far has been split between releasing music and throwing events. an ethos that runs through both the his music and parties is indebted in part to house and techno, but also industrial, resulting in a mutated take on dance life forms that is becoming increasingly recognizable in his own records and dj sets. dreams’ first 12’, ‘twisted karma’, came out in 2015 via private selection. most recently, he released a record which saw light through greek imprint nous disques, and now, apron records.

top tip for boards of canada fans! gorgeous isolation wrapped in electric memories. 8-track electronica for homesick time travelers. nothing left to abandon is a slow rendering of brooding introspections and imaginary spaces. memories, visions, eroded philosophies, tragedies in a few words. a childhood of livid skies, barren escarpments, homeless wastes. an absorbing contemplation of unlikely beauty and dusty melancholy that intersects with the creative territories of vangelis, boards of canada, klaus schulze, and ulrich schnauss, and the musings of joe frank and robert ashley. clocolan is south african-born composer emlyn ellis addison. a long formal training in music, his work centers on original writings and the found sounds of abandoned ideologies--generations of radicals and skeptics searching for meaning. from his childhood in south africa--a landscape of neglected hinterlands, eroded topology, unconquered vastness--emerged clocolan s homesick, lo-fidelity electronica, expansive themes lost in the background noise of human affairs.

this is my best album for sure, says todd. we cant be exactly sure on that one, all three albums from todd bodine have been great. forms however, is perhaps the most complex and mature album that the berlin producer and dj has accomplished to date. and its also out with us! todd has worked at full speed over the last six months to bring us this fine piece of work. as a dj playing around the world and as a producer in the highest ranks of consistency, todd bodine has constantly developed as an artist. releases and remixes on respected labels, and collaborations with various artists have made him an internationally popular electronic musician. in 2007 he finally began to perform as a live act, and what club would better fit todds new live premiere than the panorama bar in berlin!? todd shows with forms, his innate knowledge of the two sides of electronic dance music. this is a meeting of peaktime euphoria with the relaxing bliss of the hazy morning light. a meeting of hypnotic natural rhythms and driving cut-up sounds. todd can impress you with dancefloor bombs and also with his sophisticated sound visions. the sound of detroit would probably be the best comparison.

maybe its just you: jumping around from joyful reveries to passages of melancholia, from uncanny revelations to the grey routines. or maybe its just the music: a dusty cosmic theme with a bit of the 80s electronic flavour, warping your state of mind on the slick drum rolling, electro tingles and obsessive sci fi bleeps. we call it moodswing: sublees electronic visions for contemporan.

more lonely planets rec. material entering our habitable zone. star chaser jack roland capturing his dreams of darkness and distorted cosmic visions through the mysterious edges of the ‘all there is’.

* don t take.. hits hard, it s whiplash groove fine tuned for maximum dance floor impact. by contrast peyote stitch’ takes a deeper approach, it s hazy spectral visions sat atop low slung drums in trademark mosca style.

the continuum hypothesis by cleymoore and andrea cichecki stood proud as rotate s first collaborational ep, and despite being the imprint s first attempt on showcasing its roster through talent fusion, it served perfectly as a refined and spontaneous creation where both artists could easily be heard and identified. rotate s curatorial decisions seem to consistently circle around a small but extremely talent- ed group of young artists who aren t afraid of musical experimentation, with command of very personal visions of futuristic dance music, no matter the style. for the second collabora- tional ep, rotate hand-picked two young artists that share a strong vision about music, how it should be created and ultimately, experienced: greece s anestie gomez, and russia s denis kaznacheev.

udacha just gets better and better with every release, branching out into ever more exciting shapes and styles beyond their house and techno foundations. on this album from indoor plants, wild fourth world visions collide with hardware processes in a dazzling display of transcendental music for those who like their thought-provoking tunes to pack a punch. the likes of -targitaus- deconstruct club music conventions in a quest for new rhythmic purpose, and yet the soundsystem pressure is expertly sculpted out of the daring shape of the music. elsewhere there s surrealism in abundance, as on the wonderfully weird -hunch-, and that s just scratching the surface of this truly essential lp.

dystopian dreams are often used by our minds to try out new, scary scenarios. they are the perfect playgrounds because they combine elements of our real world with speculative elements that do not exist in real life. viers gets to work on his own visions of dystopia, with this menacing 12” tripped with hidden spooks and monster pummel lines.

returning with four tracks from four upcoming artists, lkr003 explores a variety of styles on the fringes of modern techno, with elements of industrial, noise, atmospheric ambience and clattering breakbeats forming an uncompromising whole.
on the a-side, strahinja arbutina’s brutal four-to-the-floor techno screamer ‘dehumidifier’ rattles the roof, leading into iazikzazubami’s slower, mysteriously murky ‘brmaa’, where visions of dark landscapes are conjured. on the b-side, consulate drags you further deep into the nightclub dungeon with his techno + breaks laden stomper ‘klattenburg’, while the ep is drawn to a determined close with hymns’ ‘map 7’, which gathers the eerie, robotic vibes of the previous cuts, and projects them into an energetic, mechanical climax.

invada veröffentlicht den score zur britischen independent-horror-komödie prevenge. toydrum sind pablo clements und james griffith, die unter anderem auch bei unkle tätig sind. zudem haben sie mehrere soundtracks produziert, darunter für die tv-serie this is england von shane meadows. prevenge erinnert stilistisch an den film sightseers von ben wheatley, horror und britische comedy kommen hier ideal zusammen. Ähnlichkeiten sind nicht zufällig: die filme teilen sich die hauptdarstellerin und den drehbuchautor. der score von toydrum ist düster, elektronisch und passt ideal zu invada.

there are depths in humanity which one cannot explore, as there are mephitic caverns into which one dare not penetrate. madness in any direction, at any hour. the anatomy of human destructiveness, a hole like a sewage drain for the fine clear coat of civilisation, a place where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools. if there is such a dark moloch which deviously knots a thread within us, with which to hold us and draw us down an eerie and delirious path that we would never otherwise have set foot on, then d. carbone’s mephistophelian alter ego honzo pulls us with his 4th installment “distopia - un mondo indesiderabile” right into its gaping abyss, leading us there where we would have never consented to go.
panic. it creeps up the spine like the rst rising vibes of an acid frenzy. the haunting chill upon your neck. there is a sound intensity makes while echoing through the body, the epinephrine pumping through the jugular vein, voices from unknown origin, the blood throbbing through the numb extremities, heart palpitations, the flashing visions, cold sweat, the heavy breathing, hyperventilation, dissociation, fight-or-flight. honzo gives us a vision of what it means to truly be in a world of terror and angst and in the secret bloodlit dark behind our eyes we enjoy the cathartic abreaction this brings us.

it might not always be obvious, but music as escapism can serve as a radical social statement. what some may see as daydreaming or imagination of impossible realities, can constitute a sort of revolution of thought, the seed of a more human and sentient worldview. although on a first listen, high-level basis, it may seem as if the music contained in informa’s 10th release is a series of psychedelic, dystopian and otherworldly tools for escape, it might actually be a proposition for improvement, a route to self-discovery, a reflection on the true nature of our surroundings. although at no point in this release such high concepts are made explicit, there is a consistency in vision and methods present in the art created by the peers that label founder and owner deepbass has selected for this very special, celebratory release. encapsulating the product of eight minds, eight visions, in a common concept for evolution in unity.

divination is the second lp to come from liam blackburns ancestral voices project. where his debut lp night of visions, reconstructed his rhythmic approach into a primal framework, divination sheds the beats almost entirely and focuses on soaring drones and liams refined approach to ambience. there is moments of tempered elation (revelation, inscriptions, cleromancy), contrasted with black hole soundtracks (geomancy, hieratic) with the overall feel of divination becoming a gently traversing voyage through a revolving mood-scape. with divination following more beat oriented ep’s for samurai music and horo, liam redefines the sound of ancestral voices with every release.divination is a glistening example of the singular voice he provides to electronic music.divination is pressed on crisp white vinyl 3x12inch housed in a deluxe full artwork sleeve with spot varnished runes exclusive to the lp version.

live from concrete island is the debut album from brighton based producer stephen maskell, aka the nags head. taking material from the last four years, he s created a head-spinning tapestry of melodic techno and crushed cityscapes. like echospace, maskells destroyed visions nail the feeling of being a stranger in a strange land. for the city s lolloping, dubby percussion we reach deep into its guts, pulling out a squiggly bricolage of pistons, pool balls, window frames, jets of steam. in turns rasping and narcotic, concrete island s beatless sections are akin to the crunching menace of early clark, or murcofs cosmic space treatments. an occasional shimmer guitar pop gem emerges from the rubble.

the ichinen project was born from the strong music connection between roberto bosco and kiny - both producer, performers and founders of last drop records imprint - and from the need to share their personal music concept. finally, this year they returns on their label with the first official track under new ichinen monicker. the title-track, a morning without glory, is indeed a unique melting pot of the different music approaches and visions. the track is determination at its purest form: a relentless 4/4 beat impulse, constantly striving and spaced out by industrial and metallic sounds that convey its deep and atmospheric imaginary. truly abstract and experimental techno that goes beyond its ordinary stylistic logics. on the b-side one may find a morning without glory reviseted at this time in two evocative interpretation by the most renowed artist in the nowadays techno scene. the first one is by dasha rush with a summer light remix, with a more serene and organic version of the original track. the last one is by etapp kyle who prefers to highlights low frequencies

inaugurating a new chapter for horo, liam blackburn continues his journey as ancestral voices. following on from the ‘night of visions’ lp for samurai horo and his recent ‘old earth voodoo’ ep for samurai music, yantra is 4 soaring creations that further develop his caustic ambience. euphoric touches that hint at his work as indigo are added into the mix, but the hazy sonic atmosphere initiated with ‘night of visions’ dominates throughout, refined here into a meditative form that whispers renewal and rediscovery.

lywood has worked alongside some of the most prestigious names in art, fashion, music and film - from led zeppelin to louis vuitton, the venice biennale to the serpentine art gallery, in a career spanning over 20 years. junk sees lywood stepping into the limelight for the first time with these eight epic psychedelic dance-floor and spaced out instrumental visions. junk is inspired by vik muniz’s ground-breaking documentary waste land, which tells the story of the landfill site, jardim gramacho, on the outskirts of rio de janeiro. recycling fragments of german electronica, disco and 80’s synth from his childhood and fusing these with new, found sounds, lywood takes us on a journey through his world of junk re-imagined. five of the tracks are named after some of the largest landfill sites around the world, and trash vortex is named after the swirling mass of plastic waste the size of texas, in the north pacific. lywood stays close to muniz s mission to “change the lives of a group of people with the same material that they deal with everyday”. ** cover artwork by keith coventry, the celebrated fine artist represented by pace gallery** the debut cochabamba album comes courtesy of respected sound designer and fine artist dan lywood!
