the finest selection of cool tempo tunes!

introducing the raudive alias, he created a reduced, sexy, dancefloor-centered wave of greatness for labels from drumcode to cocoon. this sound turned out to be highly attractive for the djs to play and for the girls and boys to dance to. the unparalleled appeal of his beats left the usual minimal competitors sounding rather dull. thus raudive quickly became the blueprint of techno modernism and one of todays most influential genre-bending production styles. macro unleashes the highly anticipated debut album - chamber music. chamber music is both: claustrophobic in sound design, reminiscent of the dark and sweaty concrete club spaces this music inhabits, as well as carrying acoustic qualities of induced instrumental experimentalism. bitches brew voodoo reeds, new york no wave voices and european avant strings spin a mesmerizing dark patina around the ultra-sexy year-3000-rhythms. no wonder theres huge dj support all accross the board - from miss kittin to richie hawtin, surgeon to trevor jackson, ricardo villalobos to jeff mills. massive deep edge and one of 2010 finest albums so far!

brimming with fall-esque attitude, guided by voices pop-sensibilities, and drive like jehu / fugazi / hŸsker dŸ style riffing, warm widow channel , the spirit of their influences into one totally kick-ass, brutally lo-fi rock sound - meticulously mastered by bob weston (shellac, mission of burma) at chicago mastering service - warm widow is the project of ex-tsuji giri frontman martin greenwood, and features zak hane of stranger son of wb on bass and lianne steinberg of breaking colts on drums ... info: manchester s warm widow never really intended to make this album Ð well, not in the way that widower presents itself anyway. this was supposed to be the scratchy blueprint for the actual warm widow album, recorded, you know, like proper albums are recorded: in a recording studio perhaps, with an array of appropriate microphones, with an actual producer (or certainly an engineer), and time to allow the band the breathing space to nail it , with additional options to try multiple takes and overdubs - in general, recording with a certain amount of control and ease.

extra life is the primary musical vehicle for charlie looker, singer, guitarist and composer, who has become one of the most intense and respected voices in the new york experimental underground.

its a brighter, more immediate sound than before warmer, too, with the singers voices positively glowing inside intricately woven electronic nests. but theres no lack of nuance. every track is a delicate balance of intimate delivery and cosmic sonics, underscored by a faint sense of melancholy.

>sidonia< opens, immediately announcing that this wont be merely business as usual. with its groaning sub-bass and flickering percussive flashes, the track echoes the dubby, drifting melancholy of classic warp records-always, in truth, a key influence for cadenza. bells and voices lend an atmosphere of shimmering energy thats carried over into >around the angel< which sails jubilantly forward, propelled by intricate polyrhythms and uplifting female vocals.

trailing, distant voices, folk-leaning, yet wholly otherwise melodies, and a grounding in both electro-acoustic origins and a decidedly rooted sense of place characterize acre loss, a collaborative project which brings together musician mark templeton and filmmaker aaron munson to create 10 musical compositions accompanied by 10 short films. working together on all pieces of this project, the resulting blend of sonic orientation and cinematic warmth gives acre loss an unusual, yet familiar perspective into the impact of a fleeting sense of home

with his releases for innervisions, perlon and macro stefan goldmann has been a key figure at the cutting edge of post minimal techno and the renewal of house music. with the transitory state, he finally unleashes his highly anticipated debut cd. two separate albums in one package - a double whammy with benchmark club tracks on cd1 and an electroacoustic concept album on cd2. cd1 features some of todays most significant underground anthems, including sleepy hollow and lunatic fringe - both voted top 10 tracks of the year in the polls of groove, resident advisor and de:bug mags, seriously crossing boundaries with heavy dj support all accross the board from richie hawtin to carl craig to laurent garnier to gilles peterson. the entire collection ranges from the lush afterhour bliss of prefecture to the dark modernism of blood to peak time frenzy with the bribe. all tracks have been carefully edited exclusively for this release by the artist and six appear on cd for the first time ever, thus adding brand new and previously unreleaed tracks and parts. cd2 contains the album voices of the dead which will also be released as a ltd. edition 5x7? vinyl box set. starting a trilogy of concept albums, stefan goldmann searches for the common root of all music in an electroacoustic setting. from this album turret is already renowned as the intro sequence of richie hawtins groundbreaking de9 transitions mix compilation and was also commissioned by the bibliotheque nationale de france for the imeb phonotheque public collection.
