man of war is a significant sonic progression for the band. opening track gaia sets the tone for the release perfectly. heavy, brooding bass and glitchy, synth stabs create an imposing sonic backdrop for tom’s menacing vocal to hang on. lead and title track man of war is driven by its propulsive beats and more washes of bass and eerie electronic touches. fall crocus finds the band in contemplative mood. a heavy, regretful air hangs over the track and brings to mind the work of international superstar and mercury prize winner james blake, who the band has toured with, as well as mount kimbie and ghostpoet previously. final original cut cosmos pink is perhaps the album’s most touching effort. cloud boat have always been a band capable of inducing sincere emotion and this release is no different, taking the listener on a powerful, cathartic journey through life’s big issues. remix wise, the release features offerings from phaeleh and la – 4a. each act brings its own distinguishable flavour to man of war. phaeleh’s version features his trademark, cinematic, take on house electronics and is a typically atmospheric effort, while la – 4a takes cloud boat in a modern techno direction.

paul mccartney’s 1982 album back on 180 gram vinyl

knapp zwanzig jahre, 13 soloalben und unzählige tourneen lang war pi auf der suche: nach seiner vorstellung vom leben und deren verpflanzung in seine kunst, seinem standpunkt als gewachsener musiker und erwachsener mensch, seinem platz in der hip hop-szene, der welt und weiter. nun ist der berliner da, wo er immer hinwollte: da, wo oben ist - ohne dabei das unten aus den augen verloren zu haben. pi hat über all die jahre seine dues gepayt, wie es im hip hop-jargon heißt. und im zuge dessen hat er begriffen: -nichts war umsonst.- eine erkenntnis, die er konsequenterweise zum titel und leitmotiv seiner neuen platte gemacht hat. auf den ersten blick mag dieser satz wie eine floskel klingen. wie eine plattitüde. eine binsenweisheit ohne belang. doch wer pi kennt und sich ein wenig mit seinen werken und seinem wirken der vergangenen zwei dekaden auseinandergesetzt hat, der weiß, dass er noch nie auch nur einen schritt ohne grund getan hat. außer rebell zu sein vielleicht. -jede stunde, die verstreicht, kostet zeit, die noch bleibt / und frisst auf, was noch kommt: nichts war umsonst.-

total science are back to grace their own imprint cia records, and this time they enlist the musical and technical prowess of fellow bristol associates hydro and war alongside themselves on the reign ep. made up of four killer slabs of fast paced, moving and deep drum & bass, the influence of each party is immediately obvious in each track. total science are infamous for their breaks and rave influences that have often been present in their music since they first started releasing in the early 1990’s. hydro has been releasing music since 2007, working with a slew of respected producers such as break, dlr, fd and halogenix amongst many others. he is infamous for his epic sample collection and the deep and deadly vibe that he brings to tracks. and the young french extraordinaire war has already shown he is a force to be reckoned with, consistently releasing music with a sublime depth and musicality that belies his age – and also a power and punch that consistently rips clubs to shreds. the reign ep brings the finest attributes of each of the parties to the table, and results in a well-rounded collection of music that offers something to a wide range of listeners. whether you want to lock them into a groove, tear the roof off the club, or get them thinking about what will come next in this world, the reign ep has it in spades.

new portland based label, dark leader, emerges with it’s premier release featuring two gritty masterpieces to lose your mind to on the dance floor. “reasons for war,” a heavy techno track by drvg cvltvre, transports you to the iconic volleyball scene from, “top gun,” if it were being played by a group of ruthless terminators. emile strunz’s track, “bubastis,” named after the ancient city of the cat goddess bast, will lure you into a sweaty, egyptian-tinged hypnosis. limited release worldwide, dark leader 001 is housed in full color jackets featuring artwork by koen delaere, designed by eric adrian lee and mastered by timothy stollenwerk.

nice price deal !!! the corestyle story continues... with forsaken is dead (known from his waking the tyrants device ep on corestyle last year, besides his various other productions for labels like meta4, industrial strength, six feet underground or hard kryptic) and cap (hard kryptic) we have two of the az hardcore junkies here. the a-side is represented by cap and starts with the title track this is not a war, a hard industrial uptempo pounder which is yet still atmospheric. the b-side offers 2 collaborations between cap and forsaken is dead. repeating patterns is rather techno-influenced whereas the second track, pulling strings (forsaken is dead remix) starts with a mystic intro and turns into a grooving and driving monster.

nice price deal !!! all out war is a new label from richard hardcastle aka solid state, based in sheffield, uk. richard is known for his product of society edits on society recs, and work on toko, guidance, primitive and cookhouse recs in the late 90s/early 00s. the first all out war release is prisoners of wax vol 1, new edits by solid state, mastered for vinyl by warp legend rob gordon here in sheffield. the disco elements that marked their first 3 society releases are back in full effect... a: america - a radical extension of a french track from 1978, complete with fierce bass and guitar riffs, scything strings and urgent vocals plus police sirens for added drama... all out disco war! aa1: shortwave radiation - tames a once sprawling, 9 minute plus synth strumental behemoth. this 6 1/2 minute version lowers the tempo and cuts the flabbier excesses of the original to produce a far leaner, fitter space monster. aa2: if u love me started life as a quaint little spanish number in 1977. this version ditches the verses, allowing the intro and chorus to take centre stage. the resulting track has a hypnotic, spacey atmosphere... a quiet storm!

nice price deal !!! old school electro with cool scratches

rekids begins 2016 with the launch of an exciting new talent. south korea-born dj and producer peggy gou has been honing her production skills since her days in london. now based in berlin, gou has drawn on her years of djing to help shape a sound that draws on detroit & nyc house, as well as the african rhythmic sensibility and boogie funk influences she shares with early sounds duo nu guinea, with whom she had piano lessons and sought production advice from as her music took shape. in addition to her work as a stylist and fashion producer, gou has also drawn on her art & design abilities to create the ep artwork.

anfang des jahres erschien er auf der bbc sound of 2015 longlist. wenn durch den erfolg von ›walk‹ druck in bezug auf die produktion von »love + war« entstanden sein sollte, ist dieser in der musik nicht spürbar: das album erfüllt durch die eps geweckte erwartungen mühelos. eine reihe von hits in warteschleife beweisen, dass »walk« kein einzelgänger war. so ist im herbst 2015 klar, dass kwabs nicht mehr einer jener musiker ist, auf die man achten sollte. kwabs ist ein reifes, gewaltiges talent, dessen große songs uns eine einzigartige geschichte erzählen. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

tommy bones returns to strictly rhythm with the * love & war ep*, featuring get down and love & war, two original cuts that highlight once again that tommy is a man with a history that spans the many variants of house music. get down contrasts the classic house sound with contemporary beats, while his get down (remix) adds more horns to give the track an early 90s feel. the retro future vibe continues with ‘love & war’ which rolls on a heavier, darker and techier tip. rounding off proceedings is love & war (war dub) which is exclusively available on vinyl only.

the structure and the essence of this release, focuses on a current argument in which more and more people in this society are found to be the early protagonists, often without even realizing it. the artist wants to tell and convey through his work, a point of view towards this theme. as can be deduced from the title of the ep, the project is to express and represent a war of colors, which fight the monotony of everyday, always flat and dark.
