each ep adopts the work of an artist translated to musical form.
when you dream where does the light come from? there is a light that has clarity as great or greater than the daylight vision, and a lucidity of color that s beyond how we see color now ... i m interested in the point where this meets the imaginative vision that comes from seeing what we want to think of physical reality as outside, because it has a lot to do all which how we create reality. - james turell

2013 was a good year for mr natalizia. breaking out of his musical (comfort) zone and touring schedule as one half of kompakt records stars walls, a deeper side to his music oeuvre was shown on the excellent not waving debut, umwelt, before then going on to compile the killer *mutazione* compilation of italian new wave 1980-1988 for strut records. spanning 9 tracks, *human capabilities* takes the sound of umwelt and the subsequent super limited cassette only reinterpretations of redacted and mixes harder percussive tracks alongside explorations of melody through ambient pieces that close each side.

following on from killawatts bring down the walls ep at the tail end of last year osiris music continues to expand their sonic boundaries as they move in 2014, with their first release of the year coming in the form of sleepers simulation theory ep. experimenting for the very first time with fm synthesis, the ep features seven tracks of thunderous production the majority of sounds for which sleeper drew from a mere four oscillators in a bid to recalibrate his production skills. the resulting record is far more than the sum of its component parts and, save for the skulking, static soaked tension of meth, moves with relentless force and purpose throughout.the simulation theory ep sees sleeper taking his already deft grasp of both dubstep and techno production and fusing them to a body of pummelling forward momentum perfectly suited to set osiris music off on what promises to be a bold and progressive year.

standout track taken from don ninos latest album >in the backyard of your mind< (released in may), >beats< is about to take over your turntable for good thanks to three new remixes at the crossroads of the indie-pop and electronic music genres.
the original version of >beats< is a freaky and well-balanced piece of folk music. its lyrics are about body transportation and spiritual dematerialization. but in the hands of chloe, turzi and cubenx the beat boxes substitute the drums, the vocals get distorted, the track deconstructs itself as well as the walls fall between the genres.

after three albums for as many labels, dean blunt and inga copeland, also of the group hype williams, release their debut hyperdub lp, >black is beautiful<. amid rumours circulating, and confirmed by their advisor denna frances, the album was recorded during a tremulous period for the two: inga copelands arsenal girls tryouts, deans waschbärgate trial (he was implicated in being behind a one night robbing spree across 16 taxidermists based in london and the south east, allegedly only for racoons) and his subsequent conversion to nation of islam upon being acquitted. >black is beautiful< is laced with their signature hazy glow and is full of crunched eurovision lullabies, kinetic drum machine jams, unsettling funk, smeared walls of synth, moments of unadulterated opiated bliss, mogadon rap, infinite coughs and insights into the odd sexual behaviour of crackers. the word ebony occupies the albums entire front cover space in bold white print. >black is beautiful< is red and white.

where the river turns black, is the first international album by copenhagenresident and musician katrine ottosen aka call me kat. call me kat are adorably intense and mesmerizing songs, an enchanting melancholic, almost translucent drift into this sonic world best described as alternative pop, music that gives spoken word of the ever expanding danish music scene of now. songs that adapt a fine line between organic instrumentation and that very specific sound of her voice, which although completely its own tends to remind at times on other playful ladies in music like bjørk, feist oder lykke li.earlier works with reknown producers valgeir sigurdsson (bjørk, mum, sigur rós etc.) or joe magistro (prophet omega) on the current album have certainly had their share on this.
