detroit young gun rawaat finally steps up with his debut vinyl release for lobster theremin. having carefully honed an inimitable sound that caresses the left-facing corners of house, techno, ambient and beats, this marks the start of what promises to be a very special year for the mid west talent. rawaats own diy tape imprint, crisis urbana, simultaneously provided the breeding ground and outlet for ideas and a collective mentallity that is beginning to define a new wave of detroit producers, and listening to their discography it is immediately clear where those tape-saturated, cut-and-paste jams found their roots.

trunk - and branches fetched by klangscheiben manager demas with diligent helpers from the forest. they built a wooden house of joy in the middle of the thuringian pampa. in the tree house they set up a small vinyl manufactory. what counts is lively, honest craftsmanship. hunter s tree! here they are, the pieces of wood, uh vinyl. scratched into the inner bark stands out: artists have placed their saws and axes in the shed and carved a few tasteful sounds in electronic sisyphean. chapeau et voilà, because what s crawling out of the wood boxes (clearly!) is not a worm, but musical understatement with pure groove research and a commitment to a culture of sound of the early perlon vinyls. oh god, always these analogies... but there were, no, there are good times for good music! this is magnificent fizzle funk with emo edge. relish and dance!

for some grungy vocal house music with a touch of chicago percussion and a healthy splash of the indie-synth wave that came crashing over electronic music in the late 2000s, scissor & thread s black light smoke might be 2014 s answer to danton eeprom circa 2009. we say danton eeprom, as the voice on the b2, -screws in my head-, has a similar tone and enunciation of the frenchman, or are we getting mixed up with mathew dear? the title-track, -firefly-, brings back memories of azari & iii s debut ep only with druggy vocals coming from what could be the basement of a dfa rave in new york, while -morning comes- borrows some cowbells from the rapture and sultry french inspirations from jane birken. -black bricks- then provides some slo-mo, lo-fi phase filtered house - and one hell of a bassline. alternative electronics for the indie lover

andré winter delivers his second exclusive ideal audio release – dogma. it is dark, it is hypnotic, it is what we call modern techno music. on the a-side you can find the original, which amazes with the number of sequences, which mr. winter twists and turns.beats and rhythms clash one after the other creating a mysterious and threatening, yet curious atmosphere. just close your eyes and enjoy the mood ride. the b-side offers pan-pots treatment of the track. the remix is massive, somewhat housier and brings exciting sound effects to the surface. great work

cromie s bubbling, spacious house sound first drew critical acclaim last year on the sold out 12- vines / pyrex (peach001), a collaboration with fellow la producer sage caswell. now, peach is thrilled to present cromies solo debut ep inner knows, a revved up set of idiosyncratic dancefloor weapons. how to stop a bulldozer, a rotating helix of synth stabs, warped vocals and low-end torque warrants it s epic title. elsewhere, flan functions like a potent concentrate of 22nd century funk. inner knows kicks off side b with a swirling late night house jam that flirts with the deeper corners of the genre. another fixture in la s electronic scene, suzanne kraft (running back, esp institute, pharoahs) closes out the record with a cubist reading of flan. on his solo debut, cromie s creative depth and attention to detail belies his freshness to the game. regular sets at las club called rhonda and various underground happenings in the sprawling southland have taught him some valuable lessons. if he can deliver this many distinct sounds on a single record, we cant wait to hear what’s next.

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.

rough, rugged and raw psycho jackers, that fill you up before the main course is served. parts unknown, weight unknown, this hasnt been the first and definitely is not the last you will hear from this guy. promo only like way back when, just to give you a little taste of what is to come. not coming back!

inside these airless sarcophagi, the passing of time renders objects once forged from molten metals as fragile as paper, so delicate a gust of wind could destroy them for ever. once deadly weapons now oxidised to dust are proof of the futility of man in the face of time. all regimes will crumble over years, all empires turn to dust…the more potent an object in its former life, the more poignancy in its nebulous disintegration. the shattered radio controls, the gun turned to a rusted block like a child s toy, the bullets corroded to nothing are all exiled from their brutal pasts. what messages are locked in time that passed through the obliterated decoding machine, who alive if anyone can tell its secrets.

this 5th release consists of three tracks made by the twin duo manic brothers, one edited by petter b. they have during their relativity short career proven themselves as worthy keepers of the swedish techno heritage with big releases on drumcode a.o. what they bring to bond on this release is their signature big room sound but with a much more simplified approach than previously heard. on the a-side there are two great tool tracks with lots of space for creative interpretation for a dj. on the flip there are a long and epic track with a massive vocal breakdown. groove based but yet with a big and strong hook.

after a great response from ejecas frequency ep previously released on sashas imprint last night on earth in january 2013, the label continues to support his sound by releasing a new 4 track ep called contemplation that will be available on the 28th july consisting of a wide range of electronics from ejecas many musical influences. never one to stick with a particular sound for too long, ejeca has constantly explored numerous styles, reflecting his own eclectic taste in music and shows that he has no strict music policy. just good quality and interesting electronic music, which is exactly what contemplation and last night on earth are all about.

a new light shines forth in the world of electronic music. as more and more indie labels emerge there is a need to be distinguished and stand out from the rest. typically those who do a great job at contributing a new and unique sound to our planets dance floors reign supreme. but how can one tell what is new and unique if they have not experienced these moments themselves? based on over 20 years as a dj and producer, paul loraine is proud to present his next leap in his career with a fresh new imprint, rhythm cult. sticking to what works best in clubland while avoiding trends and relying on music that really feels special, the spanish label proudly presents its first record in the catalog.

“inverso” is the new vinyl sub-label of kript records, whose concept is based on the meaning that the word assumes in different fields, in mathematics for example the “inverso” ratio means that the product of the variables always remain constant. but the word “inverso” is also a concept that leads to an exact opposite of what it assumes. these two meanings of the word “inverso” inspire all the tracks of the label, characterized by a -noisy and distorted- sound, where symmetry and asymmetry live together and where analog source and analog processing give a great touch of depth.

we start with the first shigan remix from new up and coming artist charley delholm and let me tell you it is fantastic piece with such depth and understanding, its pads and chords are the making of what good dance music should sound like.

slope s musical ingredients - dub, disco, house, electronica in a mix of soul - all are deeply rooted on their previous releases for sonar kollektiv / jazzanova and remixes for fat freddys drop, atjazz, 1luv / yoruba rec and 4hero. the producer duo from berlin share a number of classics tunes and are known for moody breaks and solid grooves, sincerely from the heart bringing movement to the floor. for their 4th album soultree slope have been jamming and recording with singer knixx to creating songs over the last 3 years, keeping it simple to be able to play as a trio on stage. what s left is the essence of tracks turned out to songs and songs turned out to jams . songs you can dance to, lyrically inspired by the streets of berlin, reflecting personal moments of a city, with it s very own pace and melting-pot characteristics - colorful and in constant motion. the ignition to the collaboration happened during a live performance by knixx on a birthdayparty for dj-mate m.path.iq. both of the slope guys, daniel paul & honesty where blown away by his interpretation of killer . a bit later together at the studio they formed a soulful and productive unit. right time, right place. capitol a - a soulmate of slope and responsible for various slope hits in the past joined again for writing and recording brown sugar - a song you would not want to miss on an slope album !

a little over a year ago nunorthern soul brought you bj smith s gorgeous cover versions of two hip hop classics. last time out he tackled mos def, which gilles peterson proclaimed as -the sound of sunsets for years to come- and the pharcyde, this time he is bringing his unique touch to the recently-reunited outkast. andre 3000 and big boi are hitting the festival circuit during the summer, this celebration of their greatest work should tide you over until they get back into the studio. and would they approve of these two radical re-interpretations of their music? we like to think so, see what you think.

in times where a rave feels pretty much like a funfair, the chairoplane is still the nicest ride. thinking of kettenkarussell some might remember one of those gathered moments in a low summer night under the clear sky when things made sense for a while. but those memories fade away quite fast or seem really strange a few years later on youtube. so what is it that is left behind? after 10 years of collaboration the couple decided to do an album that might challenge the comfort zone of those who try to keep up that easy living. its a record full of holes. and still this is what keeps them together. in pain we trust... and yes i believe you and me will make love forever...

snuff crew are on board for the new what ever not 12? featuring also a stunning remix by morning factory. cool jack has been here!

nightdrivers are an amazing italian production duo comprising of niccolo rufo aka rufus and martino marini aka mass prod. the duo caught our attention with previous releases on bosconi records as well as their recently released nightvisions ep on their self titled nightdrivers offshoot. two of italys finest comtemporary house producers, the easy life ep is a clear reflection of what sets these guys apart.

following their ongoing relationship with soma records, ukrainian duo woo york are set to release their new record that proves to be somewhat representative of recent dramatic events in their country. entitled i am against, both the main track and the ep itself are referring to the developments that lead to revolutionary struggle of the ukrainian people. fighting inequality, saying what you have to say and doing what you have to do seem to be the core ideas of the record. you might have figured that out yourself by spotting a rebel protester from january’s clash with riot police depicted on the record sleeve. the ep also features a special remix from uk techno producer, Ø phase. music-wise the ep presents the same idea: the epic energy of the title track highlights the drive that was fuelling peaceful individuals to go out onto the streets and fight for their rights. an excellent remix from Ø phase follows a similar path, although in its own original way that has made the uk-based artist’s name associated with the finest techno to date. closing the ep ‘in the end’ is a more abstract side of woo york’s music works that reminds us once again: every single act of violence is bound to come to an end at some point.

with their cinematic music and john carpenters cover albums, we wondered when a real soundtrack by zombie zombie is going to be out? well, here it is now , the two zombies cosmic neman and etienne jaumet finally sign their first film music for the first feature film from director , narimane mari, loubia hamra (bloody beans), to be released in spring 2014. and we found them there, where we do not expect, because it s not a horror movie, but a free movie, a journey of a group of children from a district of algiers during the war of algeria, who becomes aware of life and death.director narimane mari talks about her experience with zombie zombie and creation of the soundtrack for her movie:-i really wanted the music to be as blood flow of images and that is what it is. sharp, dull, full of strange noises, inner or surging, harmonious or disturbed by noise disorder, which allows to read beyond the visual narrative. we are in the bowels of childhood and it shakes us up when we let our-selves be takeover by the living: the profusion. i didn’t want to make a movie where psychology and reason rule and dominate until our senses are weakened, but a movie that we experience with the body and it is them who made it possible, this total immersion.

drawing from an acute sense of what could perhaps be described as deep minimalism-turned-into-a-quasi-equatorial-feast, full of holes gradually unfolds and weaves its fabrics in ways that are evocative of the disparate sensations and heady feelings one might run into in a proto-ritualistic setting, whilst xdbs recontextualisation routes a more linear but no less absorbing excursion.

nice price deal !!! fantastic 4th release on diciccos label from the man himself !

this is time collapsed. his eyes glazed over for a moment as he retreated deep inside himself. dont you see? he exclaimed, wild-eyed, looking as though possessed by some silent anomaly of his own making. dont you see what this means?

responsible for organizing the moments event series throughout berlin, i/y is releasing an ep celebrating their collaboration with all the artists who performed and adhered to the moment s concept in the last few years. releasing music from everyone was impossible, but the 4 tracks produced by voiski, blind observatory, schloss mirabell, and i/y give a solid idea of what moments is about.
