the/das ist ein aus der formation bodi bill hervorgegangenes musikprojekt von fabian fenk (gesang) und philipp koller (elektronik, mix), das 2012 in berlin gegr�ndet wurde. der bandname soll eine neutrale bedeutung haben und in keine bestimmte richtung verweisen. ihren sound nennen die beiden techno tenderness, was in etwa chilliger afterhour-musik bzw. new romantic house entspricht. diesen fanden die geneigten h�rer auf bislang �ber einer handvoll ver�ffentlichungen, darunter der lp -freezer- von 2014. dessen innig ersehnter nachfolger erscheint auf dem italienischen, von dj tennis gef�hrten label life and death. w�hrend bei fr�heren releases eher der homelistening-aspekt betont wurde, gibt das produzentenduo auf -exit strategies- verst�rkt clubfreundliche seiten von sich preis. daf�r vermengen die zwei ziemlich geschickt, geschmackssicher und facettenreich urspr�nglichen techno berliner pr�gung und organische soundschleifen miteinander und w�rzen das ganze mit verspielten kinematografischen details. ein aufw�ndiges verfahren, dessen umsetzung von losen skizzen �ber die ersten arrangements und immer wieder neuen �berarbeitungen bis zum finalen mix im studio rund drei jahre dauerte.

a.r.c. soundtracks is the audio/visual project of k.craig and david armes. dereliction//mirror is the duoÕs third release, following on from a debut album, archive: volume one (little crackd rabbit) and a cassette release for sacred tapes, from a shattered beam. dereliction//mirror was created on-residency at salford s islington mill, home to gnod, sacred tapes and many other noise/experimental musicians and labels. it is an audio/visual piece that uses the semi-derelict attic spaces as both inspiration and source material. focussing on the notion of ruins and their potential for reappropriation, dereliction//mirror combines a dense, multi-layered sound-world with ritualistic visuals to create an immersive, hypnotic work. this new film and soundtrack takes us into a bleak auditory realm of post-industrial structures and traces the role of the body within these liminal spaces. strained harmonics and industrial, discordance mesh with veiled rhythms and spoken-word narrative to create a heavy, static energy to both sound and visuals.

on limited edition compact disc. no. the disorganisation founded by atomª + material object in 2013 to advance the cause of faceless audio output by no. one in particular are cataloging their 3rd year of existence with no. iii no. iii continues the centuries long tradition, invented by the label masterminds in 2013, of remixing the very concept of a ÔcompilationÕ by slicing, remixing, autotuning and youtubing the entire year of the labelÕs output into the blender for a completely new cocktail that goes beyond merely re-packaging previously released product. although 2016 was a relatively light year for no. in terms of hours of audio output, a famous german philosopher once wrote Ôa samuraiÕs life is not measured in lengthÕ and the mix features two previously unreleased works by the label owners: Ôstill d/aÕ by atomª and ÔiiiÕ by material object. no. iii successfully represents the material released on the label between may 2016 - may 2017 as well as some now declassified transcripts of past communications and unreleased excerpts from future efforts, stitched together with frankensteinian precision and brought to life on the operating table with a blast of atomic energy

the trickfinger project was recorded 10 years ago with no intention of being released at the time, made purely for discovery and learning experience. -in my opinion, making music with no intention of releasing it is the best thing a musician can do for his own development in this day and age. the trickfinger lp was made in that mindset, and it was the beginning of a new musical life for me. when i hear it, it sounds like i am opening up doorways to new worlds, and i never have had that feeling listening to music i made for the purpose of releasing it and selling it.- all the music was recorded live onto a cd burner, through a cheap mixer. john would sit on a chair, in his living room, surrounded by five to 15 machines, and just keep programming and jamming until the track was ready to be recorded. there were no overdubs Ð recorded all live

was auf oracle ungeschliffen passiert, ist der erste output einer deutschen jazz supergroup. zun�chst wollte man ein unperfektes spiritual jazz album aufnehmen, das vorbildern aus den siebzigern fr�hnt (strata east, black jazz et cetera), einfach mal der leidenschaft nachgehen. und man wollte eine fiktive band erfinden, die es nicht gab, und rausposaunen, es handelt sich um ein unver�ffentlichtes album von namhaften und beseelten typen aus den 70ern. nun ja: dann h�tte man nie live konzerte geben k�nnen, von interviews ganz zu schweigen. kurzum, es w�re schwierig gewesen, das geheim zu halten, also hat man sich entschlossen, die identit�ten preiszugeben: web web sind: roberto di gioia (piano, synth, percussion), tony lakatos (tenor- und sopranosaxophone), christian von kaphengst (upright bass) und peter gall (drums).

it has been eleven long years since urbs dropped his last album which was called Òtoujours le meme filmÓ. back then, the musician, dj and producer created the soundtrack to a fictitious film noir, which was released on kruder & dorfmeisterÔs g-stone label, but after touring europe he almost completely retreated from public life. he does not consider his creativity as being his career, but rather as a part of his life which rarely is subject to concrete planning, and that is why urbs quite consciously took his time to create his latest Ðuntitledalbum.

an unreleased classic from the vaults emerges with beautiful reshapes by cv313 (recorded and reshaped from 2007-2016) this is where the sound of cv313 was realized, culled from cassette tapes recorded live (1995-2000) with nothing but analog/digital hardware, no computer in sight (excluding our commodore 64 midi sequencer, which is still alive and well today). the radius project has been absent since the final release in 2001, the first 12- appearing in 1996 (limited white label run of 100 copies pressed at acme pressing in canada) after revisiting these works we realized there was truly some magic here. this project was initially sent to rod modell & mike schommer shortly after they launched their brilliant deepchord label in 2001. they were incredibly kind in saying it was the best demo they had ever heard and passed it on to octal records for release, sadly, that didn t materialize and since then these masters have been collecting dust in our cassette rack for nearly 20 years now. we ve spent months doing our best to restore the old tapes from our tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards. (that is of course, if you can get past the tape hiss) 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 these masters.

im sommer 1999 aus der taufe gehoben, ist unsere total compilationserie kaum �lter als das 21. jahrhundert selbst Ð was total 17 als letzte ausgabe vor der vollj�hrigkeit kennzeichnet. und tats�chlich strahlt die 2017er kohorte einen verspielten �berschwang aus, mit dem sich nur wenig andere compilations nach �ber 15 jahren am markt messen k�nnen: labelveteranen und neuzug�nge wie etwa superpitcher, weval, tobias thomas & michael mayer, chris klopfer, juergen paape, voigt & voigt, max scholpp und nu u orchestra begeistern mit einigen der eing�ngigsten tracks, die die serie bis dato gesehen hat.

pianos have featured in house music since day one. there s just something about the combination of looping piano chords and a skipping house groove which works so well. in contemporary dance music the piano still remains intrinsically linked to house, though it was in the late 80s and 90s that the true piano house classics were created. we took it to our hearts. the emotionally charged piano riff became a defining motif of uk dance music. producers knew they only had to alight upon a suitably uplifting three-chord piano hook in order to unleash a tide of misty nostalgia for rave s halcyon days. ministry of sound are proud to present piano house classics.

der dramatische thriller der beiden safdie-br�der ist eine hypnotische odyssee durch die new yorker unterwelt, in der der protagonist verzweifelt versucht, seinen bruder aus dem gef�ngnis zu holen. die hauptrollen spielen robert pattinson (in seiner bislang besten performance) und jennifer jason leigh. musik und bilder gehen dabei eine symbiose von unglaublicher tiefe ein, wenn banale events zu dramen und montagen zu miniopern werden. oneohtrix point never gelingt mit dem soundtrack ein ausgesprochenes h�rerlebnis, das seinen exzellenten studioalben in nichts nachsteht und mit -the pure and the damned- featuring iggy pop einen markanten schl�sseltrack enth�lt. der spiegel schreibt: -das einzige, was -good time- im vergleich zu -drive- fehlt, ist dessen hemmungslose romantik, -good time- ist zuallererst ein kumpelfilm, aber kein sentimentaler. die emotionalen l�cken, die dadurch immer wieder aufrei§en, f�llt jedoch der soundtrack von daniel lopatins aka oneohtrix point never mehr als zur gen�ge aus. der maximalistische musiker und starproduzent (u.a. f�r anohni) war sich noch nie f�r einen dramatischen effekt zu schade. hier darf er nun nach belieben dr�ngende b�sse, kreischende gitarren und kitschige synths abfahren, sitzen tut alles.-

delroy wilson the original Ôcool operatorÕ was also known to many as ÔteacherÕ. a title given to him as he unselfishly taught the up and coming singers including one youth dennis brown, the art and delivery of singing technique. delroyÕs rich tone to his voice added a depth to any song that he chose to sing. delroy wilson (b.1948 kingston,jamaica) began his musical career at the school that was coxonne doddÕs studio one label. after a brief stop in 1969,which saw delroy working for producer sonia pottingerÕs tip top label. again producing such hits including Ôit hurtsÕ and Ôput yourself in my placeÕ. the 1970Õs saw delroy wilsonÕs arrival at bunny Õstriker ÕleeÕs door and what would result in a winning formula,scoring hit after hit. it is from this great period in delroyÕs career that we have compiled this selection of killer tunes,cut with the drum and bass rhythm kings themselves sly dunbar and robbie shakespeare.such classis as Ôwho careÕ ,Õcan i change your mindÕ,Õget readyÕ,Õyou must believe meÕ and the timeless title track to this collection Ôhere comes the heartachesÕ. an album of great tracks cut with Ôthe hitmaker from jamaicaÕ bunny lee and his team. a match made in heavenÉ.enjoy the setÉ.

lapalux ver�ffentlicht ende juni sein drittes album, ruinism, auf flying lotus label brainfeeder. sein letztes album, lustmore, war z.t. inspiriert vom konzept der hypnagogie, dem auch wachdenken genannten bewusstseinszustand, der beim einschlafen und/oder erwachen auftreten kann. auf ruinism setzt der britische produzent nun seine entdeckungsreise fort und erforscht diesmal den sogar omin�seren schwebezustand zwischen leben und tod. in diesem bereich, wo sich das endliche und das unendliche vermischen, ist lapalux zu hause auf ruinism mehr als zuvor. auf seinem neuen album benutzt er zum ersten mal in seiner karriere ausschlie§lich hardware und echte instrumente, er hat synthesizer und drum-versatzst�cke aufgenommen und erneut gesampled, gepitcht, verbogen und miteinander verschmolzen, until it was ruined, bevor er die v�llig entstellten samples aus dem mittlerweile entstandenen tr�mmerhaufen barg und erneut versuchte, diese in etwas koh�rentes zu verwandeln, wie er selbst beschreibt. mit marielle tepper als kreativdirektorin auf ruinism, wird die lp als hervorragende und streng limitierte deluxe-doppelvinyl-ausgabe erscheinen, die in zusammenarbeit mit dem pariser atelier impremerie du marais entstand.

it was in february 2015 when japanese producer and sound designer kuniyuki takahashi, sometimes known as koss, releases with the ep �newwave project ¾2� a record, that tapped some roots of his mu-sical education: new wave, german electro punk from bands like a daf, ebm from acts like front 242 as well as industrial music. styles, about kuniyuki claims that they are his �favourite music�. now, nearly two years after his first newwave project ep, he drops an album that is leaning towards his musical love from the past. com-pared to his former work, that was rooted in worlds of classic, jazz, house, ambient, and electronic song-writing, his new tunes are full of melodic drifts and rhythmical shifts. as usual all is loaded with tones and rhythms straight from the heart that filter and modulate human emotions without losing their natural source. to get a sound that is fresh but still leaning to the 1980ees, he used some old synthesisers like a roland jupiter 8, a juno 60, a korg ms 20, an old tape echo machine but also new instruments like the roland aira. furthermore, his modular synthesizers talk too.

claude debussy (+1918) was one of the most popular and forward thinking composer associated with impressionist music. his innovative and at this time new way to compose music with non traditional scales and chromaticism inspired countless artists from the likes of steve reich, philip glass, miles davis and herbie hancock. remarkable attributes of his music were i.e. the usage of parallel chords, bitonality and many compositions of whole-tone and pentatonic scales and all this surely reminds us on contemporary electronic music where you hardly find limits or boundaries when it comes to traditional, harmonic sounding scale tone music. after studying countless composers of the last centuries marc romboy decided to accept the challenge to edit, remix and reconstruct several works of his favorite french composer, ranging from ãla merÒ to -pr�lude � l apr�s-midi d un fauneÒ. romboy: ãone sentence of debussy impressed me a lot when he said that he simply intents to write new sounding music. this is and has been exactly my goal, to create kind of unheard soundsÒ. on the album romboy performs together with the dortmund philharmonic orchestra, the renowned conductor ingo-martin stadtm�ller, the well respected d�sseldorf based concert master miki kekenj and sound programmer ali khalaj. the recordings was directed december 12th 2016. its the first live recording ever released on an album where electronic sounds and classical components were merged in such manner.

our first go ibiza compilation has been compiled by bobby & steve and michael hughes and mixed by our very own bobby & steve. it features 28 amazing tracks and is modelled around the launch of our groove odyssey presents go ibiza four day weekender, which took place from the 19th-22nd of may 2017 at the beach star hotel, san antonio bay, ibiza. with over 40 artists from around the globe coming together on the magical island of ibiza, it was a memorable affair and many of the guests now feature on the album.

love and money front man james grant has collaborated with producer gordy goudie to form the korvids, releasing a dance album. for the older generation who might want to bust a move once more in honour of their younger selves. james says, i wanted to be someone else for a while. sound different. write different. it can be dreary being me all the time..i sing most of my vocals on the record in falsetto, which, as we know, is the international language of disco. the korvids marry their love of disco and 70 s funk with influences such as deodato, massive attack, miles and anything else that takes their fancy. after the success of their debut release beach coma, which was picked up by sirius us radio and remixed by balaeric legend jose padilla, the duo released bad faith, a beauteous cut of late 70 s disco remixed by love & money and steely dan s producer gary katz. james was the front man for love and money, everyone s favourite band from the 1980 s who should have been massive but somehow werent. the other half of the korvids, gordy goudie, is also no stranger to the business having produced simple minds and playing bass and guitar for the primevals and echo and the bunnymen.

panorama bar resident nick ho&#776,,,,,ppner gets to work on his second solo album on ostgut ton, connecting the territories of house music with the ease of alt-pop. work as in labor. an axiom that fuels the capitalist system just as the techno/house scene economy says that one needs to keep oneself busy to make a living. as a musician, things are complicated of course. itÕs a long way from the romantic idea of creating music simply for the sake of art to becoming a full time musician. those who have accomplished this feat often find themselves in a professional loop of writing the music, producing it, promoting it (with an info text like this), releasing it and then hopefully selling it. after leaving his full time job as ostgut tonÕs label manager in 2012, nick ho&#776,,,,,ppner went fully freelance, focusing on his musically diverse, deep and dynamic djing in and outside berghainÕs panorama bar, but more importantly spending more time in the studio. the result was his critically acclaimed debut album folk (ostgut ton, 2015), various 12Ò releases and remixes, and now his sophomore lp, work, which, more than ever, lays out his refined production skills and his talent to work the machines until they reveal their inner ghosts: nine new songs that now dodge the dance floor, then fully embrace it.

kompakt releasing t.raumschmiereÕs new, epic solo full-length heimat. it presents another side of his work which was always there, but never got that much airtime: the artist, the author, the composer with the crystal-clear sound. heimat is a stunning techno album that neither excludes ambient, nor gets reduced to constant ass kicking. it s perhaps the best recording so far from this man who asks so deeply, so extensively, so much. and at some point even answers.

als in den sp�ten 80er jahren die ersten outdoor-trance-partys im indischen bundesstaat goa stattfanden, h�tte niemand gedacht, dass sich dieser trend so lange halten bzw. weiterentwickeln w�rde. kaum eine andere dance-szene in europa hat ein gr�§eres zusammengeh�rigkeitsgef�hl als die goa-szene. hier wird musik und alles, was damit zusammenh�ngt, noch gelebt. zu keinem genre gibt es eine ausgepr�gtere und besser entwickelte -underground--partyszene, in zahlreichen foren und communitys stehen die fans in regem kontakt. st�ndig finden kleinere veranstaltungen statt, und im sommer sind die gro§en festivals und partys wie waldfrieden wonderland, vuuv festival, alice im wummerland oder psy-purgisnacht immer ausverkauft.

there arenÕt many artists that can lay claim to having put out records on labels as divergent as rough trade and john talabotÕs hivern discs. perhaps this is because few artists express such genuine diversity in their musical tastes and creative explorations as david kitt. since the turn of the decade as new jackson he has mined a seam of driving, ghostly house to run parallel with his solo strand of ambient folk electronica. his debut release in 2011 the night mail on pogo channeled early record collection heroes aphex twin and orbital through to drexciya and projekt pm but had one foot firmly in the 21st century beaming in like some futuristic cyberballad. on the flip side hussle free had that mix of house and boogie sensibilities with dark and dusty synths and vocoder that would become a signature. this was followed by acclaimed releases on hivern, permanent vacation, major problems, apartment and most recently cin cin. his debut album set for release on all city in may was recorded in kittÕs bedroom studio overlooking dublin bay, its nocturnal hues very much a product of the nightshift often working on headphones with the rest of his housemates fast asleep. it takes full advantage of the scope of the lp format, ebbing and flowing between deep house club ready gems and more restrained and meditative beatless moments for the morning after. the recording process yielded many eureka moments with kitt finally nailing sounds that had hitherto proved elusive.

dieses album hat einen weiten entstehungsweg hinter sich, da seine tracks f�r viele jahre ein teil von mir waren. als ich letztendlich anfing, ihnen die n�tige aufmerksamkeit zu widmen, konnte ich sie nach und nach zu dem zu formen, was sie heute sind. einzelne fragmente und elemente bildeten sich nach und nach heraus, nachdem ich ihnen raum zur entfaltung gab. der gesamtprozess war herausfordernd und manchmal auch schwierig, aber die titel verlangten einfach nach ihrer entstehung.

this is a clear perspective on comelades musical universe and can be considered as an ultimate best of and a radical introduction tothis chaotic and uncompromising instrumental music. rocanrolorama abrege (abbreviated rockandrolorama, in english) is the short version of the complete works and reworks of pascal comelade published at the end of 2016 as a 6-cd box set in a sold-out limited edition of 1000 numbered and signed copies. pascal comelade made this album as if it was a new and separate album, with tracks that he considers best represent his work, from 1993 to 2016, according to the principle applied with the rocanrolorama box set: songs in their original form, alternative versions, reworks, additionsÉ this short version was conceived especially for a double vinyl lp format: four sides with six tracks each, which you can listen to in the right order, from start to finish, according to a logical, thought-out progression for each side (slow tempo, medium tempo, orchestrations, electricity, etc.)

edie sedgwick was the true it girl of the pop art age a woman who famously said she wanted to turn the world on just for a moment. part of andy warhol s factory for a year in the mid 60s, she is widely believed to have inspired the velvet underground s femme fatale as well as bob dylan s leopard-skin pill-box hat and just like a woman

it is a great album! it sounds like he had passed through my lessons. (tony allen) although i did not think deeply about it but i felt that a certain time had come for me and i decided to produce my solo album. it was 20 years since i first started playing drums and since then, out of all the brilliant artists who live in japan that i played with, i wanted to freely enlist players who i really wanted to create music with. the initial catalyst was my strong yearning, wanting to know, what sort of creativity would result, if i produced my own album.

samuel rohrer, the multi-faceted, forward-thinking percussio- nist and producer behind the arjunamusic label, the ambiq trio and a wealth of other musical projects, has set out on his own with a new full-length solo album range of regularity as a double ep set with a deceptive title if ever there was one: the sonic experience of this record is, in fact, a highly irregular one (and a highly welcome one at that). constructed almost entirely upon electronically-treated recordings of acoustic in- strumentation, with a bare minimum of synthesizer voicing, ror vibrates with a compelling organicism as if old-growth black forest trees had conspired together to make an album of ultra-modern improvisational music. indeed, the record feels limned with contributions from some other intelligence, despite being a clear extension of the fluid, percussion-driven musical technique that rohrer has exhibited in previous years.

cocoon recordings is proud to present the 4th edition of our inhouse-compilation-series dots & pearls. cocoon recordings never has been a narrow minded and singled sided techno label with just one style to refer to. the bandwidth of artists in the label roster such as roman fl�gel, minilogue, guy gerber, åme or even boys noize (just to name a few) proofs that sven v�th and his label managers have always combined a wide range of techno and house subgenres throughout all the years. electronic music for all different kinds of listening- and body-movement-purposes

prevnext nathan fake will release his fourth album providence - his most personal and profoundly emotional work to date - via ninja tune. crafted in the wake of a crippling two year spell of writerÕs block during which he was unable to compose any music at all, the esteemed british producer describes the record Òas a massive step up both in my career and in my life in generalÉ it felt like iÕd come alive againÓ.

suction records is thrilled to present the debut archival album release by rx-101, a bedroom techno producer from the netherlands, erik jong. -like yesterdays- compiles 10 tracks from rx-101 s first two vinyl-only 12- eps, together with three cd/digital album exclusives. this previously unreleased material dates from 1997-1999, recorded live to cassette in a feverish burst of creativity, utilizing a small arsenal of classic techno instruments. here s rx-101 in his own words: -from childhood i loved dance music. in the 80s one of my older brothers always recorded mixes from the radio and we always listened to that. my other brother and sister took music lessons in electronic organ and when i was about 9 years old i did the same. i quit when i was 14. from childhood i was fascinated by synthesizers. in the late 80s i started more and more listening to dance and house music and it was 1991 when i started listening to techno from labels like underground resistance, transmat, metroplex, +8 records and warp

manchmal ist eine r�ckbesinnung hilfreich um sich neu zu orientieren. im falle von booka shade ist ihnen dadurch vielleicht ihr st�rkstes album ihrer gesammten karriere gegl�ckt. wir sind sehr stolz auf all das, was wir mit unserer elektronischen clubmusik erreicht haben. mit movements 10 haben wir dann im letzten jahr dieses kapitel abgeschlossen. 2017 bedeutet f�r uns eine musikalische ver�nderung. (walter Ð booka shade)

born marco sterk, he certainly doesnt come from a standard dj background. a former skate rat who grew up loving american post-hardcore and 90s hip-hop as much as early warp records, hes been affiliated over the years with amsterdam institutions such as rush hour, red light records (where you ll find him most weekdays!) and, of course, dekmantel itself. still, thers no question that hes always followed his own path, even during the years that playing his favorite records meant that he was occasionally clearing dancefloors

solaronemusic is proud to announce this special record. andreas left us suddenly at june 20th in 2016 after long health problems. around that time we finished with him - the worst of gehm - release. he was so happy about this project!!! even one week later we got the terrible message that he died. we put alot of love and effort in this project to give him his last big monument! special thanks to all his friends and labels like mathematics recordings, abstract acid, creme organization, psycho thrill and of course bunker. rip in andreas! we will never forget you!

dark sky stehen f�r weiterentwicklung. nie hat sich das londoner duo auf einen sound festgelegt oder in einer nische ausgeruht. was alle ihre gefeierten ver�ffentlichungen eint, ist eine leidenschaft f�r fast alle formen von elektronischer musik auch neben dem dancefloor und ein brillantes technisches handwerk. das bleibt auch auf -othona- so, dem zweiten album von dark sky f�r monkeytown records. auf neun tracks erfinden sich matt benyayer und tom edwards wieder ein bisschen neu und verkn�pfen modernen techno, klassische electronica und ihre britischen bassmusik-wurzeln zu einem ber�hrenden und absolut eigenwilligen ganzen.
