vor zehn jahren veröffentlichte daptone records zum ersten mal diese zusammenstellung mit ende der 1960er jahre nur als singles erschienenen songs des new yorker duos bob & gene. das von tollen vokal-harmonien dominierte sweet soul music-album, samt titelgebender marvin gaye/tammi terrell- coverversion von “if this world were mine”, war damals schnell vergriffen und ist seitdem ein gesuchtes sammlerstück. jetzt ist es wieder erhältlich, wieder auf vinyl, jedoch remastert und um zwei nicht auf der original-version erschienenen tracks erweitert. 1967 waren die beiden teenager bobby nunn und eugene coplin die stars des in buffalo, new york ansässigen und auf lokale gospel- und soul-acts spezialisierten labels mo do records. bobby nunn veröffentlichte später soloalben auch auf motown records und arbeitete mit rick james und philip bailey zusammen.

here we have the very special return of the synonymous tom blip to the blip discs label since 2015 s endlessly re-pressed wrong guanco . sentimental strings kicks off with notes of early 2000s daft punk hands-up-in-the-air euphoria before politely cannonading into hints of theo parrish kick-drum chaos midway through, whilst a commingling of orchestral disco sample heaven, twinkly scintillation and sonic messages from the stars constitutes the b side, there were no signs. early support coming in strong from midland, gerd, francis inferno orchestra and more...

three cuts of heady, cerebral bliss guaranteed to push any dancefloor a little further out into the interstellar, in russell s hands, clay wilson s e4 becomes a spaced-out stepper s delight. his rework of romans coptos lets the acidic undertones of the original run free while snappy percussion holds focus. and while were not one to pick favorites, russells remix of zemi17s rangda, stripped to its bare essentials, is almost a purer representation of the original than the original itself, designed to lift a willing crowd into a trance state

garrett david and adam rowe return to stripped & chewed with an accomplished new ep, “now that we are here, where are we?”. also known as the bell boys, the pair were last seen on a funky electro 7” for star creature following 2013’s “hotel garma ep” for discovery recordings. this new five track record finds the chicago-based duo making major strides forward in their already rather mature sound, fusing razor-sharp rhythms with plush melodies informed by deep knowledge of house music history – no surprise from two buyers for chicago institution gramaphone records.

largely sequencer-based composition practices opened up barera s usual hand-playing approach and allowed him to create rich and melodic, yet precise and powerful techno. -the opportunist- conjures images of arriving in darkness, taking what you can, and leaving quickly to avoid detection. -discipline- is barera s full-on workout, with all the rushes associated, itself very much a product of discipline. -a new future- suggests an optimistic if uncertain outlook, a world where anything is possible, while -last glacial maximum,- which refers to a period in the earth s history when ice sheets were at their most recent maximum extension, represents a somewhat bleaker view. the musically kindred spirits behind massachusetts-based mentha records are ideal partners in this project, warmly embracing barera s wide-eyed techno concepts.

its hard to think of dutch wonderboy franky rizardo without inmediately associating it with his massive contributions to the defected catalogue or his broad spectrum of mainroom hits including collaborations and remixes work for some of the most important names in the game. this time he proves his versatil nature by submerging himself into a more underground vibe, the type we learned to love so much at off headquarters. we didn t take long to decide once we heard what he had in store for us, the tracks were loud, sexy and intense.

we were evergreen are a celebration of life’s messy magic: their world is beautiful and deep, happy the trio of fabienne, william and michael are originally french, settling in london to pursue their music four years ago, a literal movement that’s been hugely influential on their fusion of the french lyrical tradition sung in english, married to a very anglo-pop sensibility.

adam x was very much deep in it in 92: 23 years in the record-releasing game and counting to be exact. could be longer, as thats just going by his discography. founder of sonic groove, also known as traversable wormhole & amdx-71. its enough to know that the man is still seriously killing it, and this is absolutely no exception: acidic, metallic, raw and driving techno for the true heads.

eran ben zeev - i am herepowerful, mesmerizing this track gets you right were in counts - in the stomach. pulsating, it slowly seeps through and takes control and floods the whole body with a laid-back kind of urgency.

in the 1970s the american composer henry flynt started a series of pieces under the title >new american ethnic music<. in so doing he worked together native styles of music such as blues, country or hillbilly with electronic production methods to make something altogether new. so far in germany it has never been attempted to rework folklore electronically for a compilation. however, this picture changes if one redefines the idea of who the population is. incomers have brought new >national anthems< to germany, which means - even the portuguese fado, the african gnawa, the croatian klapa or the vietnamese quan ho are these days at home in germany. with the cultural project >heimatlieder aus deutschland< (native songs from germany) founded by former spex editor mark terkessidis and label manager jochen kühling all the various styles of traditional folk music now found in germany has been collected. thirteen of the songs recorded for the project have now been transformed by contemporary electronic producers to present a >new german ethnic music<. but why remixes? for one thing electronic music has recently focused a lot on the past (ghost music, hypnagogic pop etc.) – electronic editing is well suited to follow the effects of the immigrant music which the >imaginary national anthems< has created. furthermore the projects instigators were curious how >electronic musicians< would handle folk music and folk songs which is a hugely difficult task. to this end artists were sought out who could get along with the idea of each music style and who are known to already have experimented with the human voice. the results are as varied as the music styles and djs involved. some melodies remain completely intact while others are abstracted beyond recognition. margaret dygas associative approach ensured that she presents a polish song about a girls arranged marriage with a claustrophobic feeling. with his remix of the marrabenta of mozambique mark ernestus has continued the rhythmic experiments he is known for with jeri jeri. thomas mahmoud translated gnawa into dub and finaly ulrich schnauss turned the song of the italian chorus of >donni so< into a hymn for the horizon-expanding power of migration.hopefully this compilation will also expand some horizons.

knox is the band brainchild of brother-sister duo nic and eliza coolidge. hailing from boston and new york, the siblings released their second ep, here, on december 3rd, and it is a big step forward for the band. formed less than two years ago, in march 2011, knox finds themselves working with the likes of john tejada and kuxxan suum on this release, and the outcome is stunning. here is five-song set full of ice and echoes. it runs as close to the third rail of impersonation, but flies away so quickly that knox sounds contextual and perfectly fresh. the influences from james blake is clear: the swooping, bomber bass and half-timey compressed dub beats, here could also easily be an inventive b-side to the latest how to dress well album. but, with the limited scale, interspersed remixes and foundling status in the scene, i would say it is likely a more impressive feat. the ep as a whole is desolate. expansive spaces filled with cold little beats and vocal washes, exploring in the course of five songs an icescape aesthetic with a sense of place usually reserved for full-length albums. the remixes blend so seamlessly that i didnt even realize they were during my first, casual listen.

if the black monolith tycho magnetic anomaly one from stanley kubricks classic 2001 felt like partying, he would be throwing his rocks in the air to the vibes from barnt, even without having arms or legs. it is probably because is this what they were born for? is not the first time the dj, producer and co-founder of magazine (barnt, not the monolith) orchestrates his profound knowledge of true cosmic sound design in the most convincing manner.
