the fourth and final sampler for the way of the samurai represents the full stylistic diversity of the label samurai music. hobzee & zyon base were asked to design a tune specifically for this project and when 1000 paper cranes arrived in the inbox it was obvious they had a very firm grasp on the sound the label was looking for. fluid, gliding vibes and a subtle sexy vocal ease the tune into its rhythm. the breaks and bass provide a step reminiscent of photek to the eastern sonics that unwind themselves around the rhythm.

nice price deal !!! essential & deep album by the man monoder aka jussi pekka! timeless beauty ! monoder. born in the cold north among industrial warehouses, people wearing only gray and random rabbits crossing the streets. his home town has two-lane streets which were made for the mass movement that never happened. physically close to civilization but mentally light years away. with the economic regression hitting hard, the town is filled with unemployed and old people wandering the streets and trying to find out what went wrong. like zombies of a mental desert. monoder. though the name sounds familiar, he has nothing to do with italodisco or electropop. the music, as the name, is filled with cold, stripped down and hypnotic atmospheres. taking you on a trip filled with hunger, cold breeze, forests and frozen tundra. the studio is on the roof-level of abandoned rubber factory, where disillusioned entrepreneurs try to get their daily bread doing what ever. moist pushing from the sealing and walls. water dripping during the mixdown. someone pulling cargo in the hallway.

insanely limited colour promos of the andres remix of feeding and 3 mixes of power thru that were previously unavailable. ndatl only pressed up 175 of these and weve only got a very small amount of them. so if you love the soul ful andres deep house sound you better snap one up now or forever be disappointed.

he making of this record inadvertently began in cuba in january 2008. powershovelaudio was recording in la havana some of the best contemporary cuban singers and musicians. the resulting recordings were of an inspiring beauty. the situation was that powershovelaudio had this outstanding collection of voices, woods and brass, all infused by the tropical warmth. it was first-class material that should be put in the best hands possible, then maayan came to mind. ônight longö is a synthetic work. maayan has inexplicably, quickly and with incredible precision captured the essence and the expressivity of the cuban musicians and taken it to a hitherto unknown place. maayan is of course well-known for her diligent talent in inserting voices of quality in her mixes, but in this occasion the result is more than surprising. instead of concentrating in her signature minimal beats, maayan has experimented with different cadences, depths and moods, leaving behind her swirl a disconcerting record of inspired beauty. this art in this record is graced with photography by one of the best and most influential photographers in the world: moriyama daido. maayan asked moriyama san for permission to use the cover image, a request which moriyama san, after listening to the record, gladly accepted

alan abrahams, the man behind portable, emerged out of the ruins of a post apartheid south africa. growing up in an impoverished cape town township, tagged >beverly hills< by the locals, abrahams was always immersed in his sisters ritual of getting ready for a night out to a soundtrack of 80s soul, hi life and hip hop. inspired by the first batch of chicago house records, the foundations were laid for his future in music. experimenting with ways of combining traditional african rhythms with the 4/4 sound of house,abrahams completed various projects in south africa. most of which gave a commentary to the political turmoil of the country at the time. abrahams inevitably became frustrated by the geographic isolation of the country and relocated to london in 1997. in the uk abrahams went on to complete various releases for internationally recognised labels such as context and background records before starting up his own label, süd electronic in 2002

larissa kapp was born in some idyllic concrete jungle city called asbest in russia, where she spent the first ten years of her life in a minimal, urbanely grey surrounding. there were not too many things, to keep her away from nerdish piano playing, until her family went to germany. there, after years of piano, singing and dance lessons (ballet, jazz, modern), she started her studies on a music high school, which, to be honest, wasnt exactly, what she wanted to learn.

untill last year sound and stereo were just two words that popped up every once in a while in your hifi-installation s manual. in the beginning of 2008 those two words stopped being just random: sound of stereo saw the light of day. in only a few months time they conquered the hearts of music lovers all over the world. the belgian scene also responded really well to their presence and they were noticed rather fast by the famous lektroluv label. in november their first ep came out and had massive response in belgium and abroad. one of the singles on that ep – supah dupah – is said to be played over 100 times each weekend in belgium alone . a follow-up ep is nothing more than a logic continuation of this succes. the new single heads up! is already being tracklisted by the likes of crookers and bloody beetroots. bloody beetroots liked the track so much that they decided to make a remix of it, as well as dj manaia, a portuguese wonderboy from the kuduro-surroundings of buraka som sistema. at the end of february the new ep will be presented at culture club ghent, one of belgium s most legendery clubs, where international bigshots such as 2manydjs and the glimmers had a residency. in the beginning of march the heads up! ep will be available online and in the shops. so get your rocks off, your heads up and enjoy the sound of stereo!

quadratur des kreises: der engl?nder spielt sich durch alle m?glichen stile.

when we first started thinking about the compilation, we had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired us, like robert hood, dan bell, plastikman, pansonic and mike ink to name a few. whilst working on the project we had the feeling that there is so much more great and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started. so we were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers in a very modern way. in minimal music there is so much (space) in between the sounds and the space that gives you a lot of opportunities for an own interpretation. the grandfather paradox is a scientific theory about time travelling and was first described by the science fiction writer rene barjavel in his book - le voyageur imprudent. we took suggestions out of that because we felt like we are travelling back in time and manipulating the old music with modern knowledge. the fact that we did all this with the deserved respect to the originals makes us quite sure that the results are bringing something new and interesting to the old tracks and transport the past into the here and now. - henrik schwarz, ?e & dixon
