coloured vinyl! i met dwight in the desert of nowhere. we somehow knew we would be there at the moment where it took place. no surprise, i mean the crash. 3 times for them to finally got out of nowhere back into nowhere. while i was playing the flute dwight held a ritual, spreading energy through his voice. after the reboot, they took off immediately (i can swear something happened to the power plant controlà). for us it was like a b-movie, like all never happenedàbut the communication, talking to the spirits from language to language planet to planetàand the wind dont forget the wind. after we came home we wrote this oneà. rjc philpot presents this debut 12inch of the reboot joy confession - our brothers from nowhere! the title track is a mindbending spiritual journey hosting the fabulous dwight trible on some next level beatdown xtravaganca while the flip features the massive disconodisco 1999 and the equally heavy <funkin facets<. àmore than a proper statement and the beginning of the rjc aera!! >thanks for listening and purchasing a real copy!<

inspired by the stripped back technical set-ups of yesteryear, mike monday and will saul present the sequence 1 ep, the product of the two artists limiting themselves to a roland 909, a korg kaos pad, a dave smith polyevolver and recording their jamming on the fly. >we wanted to inject some excitement, energy and randomness into this release, so decided to play the tracks live with mike on the 909 and keys and will on filters and effects. we had a broad idea of where we were going before we pressed record, and recorded a few takes of each track, then took the best moments from each. the big challenge was reining in the slightly chaotic recordings, but after some tweaking we found a balance between old school rawness and modern production values.<

once again loeb hit you up with a truly unique and wonderful slice of dancefloor strangeness all the way from russia.id10ts (can be pronounced idiots) is a new experimental beats project that features andrei from alexandroid whose >short cuts< was one of the many overlooked masterpieces released on the lo recordings label some years ago, along with pavel who is art director of one of the best clubs in moscow and ilya who according to rolling stone (russian edition) is one of the top 5 guitar players in russia. so a whole heap of talent on one black disc.the original gold room track is an extended mystical meditation with a spoken intro courtesy of the legendary sun ra whose wise words lead you into a new musical world where skewed electronics glide over persistent beats and delicate guitars chime along with harmonic male vocals that recall brian eno, talking heads and maybe tarwater.on the flip the inimitable dj koze does his funky thing like only he can, turning the original into an essential piece of leftfield dance music that s perfect for summer.

kasper bjorke is the danish multi-talent whose second album >standing on top of utopia< was recently released on hfn music to much international applause. the beautiful, classic-analog meets cutting-edge-futuristic sound of the album has kick started a revolution in post-electronic stylings where songwriting and genuine musical ideas stand in the forefront of tough beats or unnerving trippyness. this remix package represents this whole-heartedly, with three outstanding moments in fresh and addictive hybrid sounds, right in time for summer! >heaven< was the touching, haunting song that mr. bjorke has perhaps become best known for of late!

2 excellent dj friendly groove monsters

after a string of fresh remixes, including a great one for the homewreckers here on circus, dave aju offers this two-track side project treat while we await his next album. picking up where he and the invisible art trio left off, and adding another member, we are proud to present thèse unique cuts by mr. aju and his new sol percussion ensemble.using a single percussion instrument for each track, aju and the ensemble bring a raw acoustic and upbeat live jam session vibe to the proceedings on “vibra” the scene shifts to day, as an unabashedly sunny feeling builds up into a sort of loose latin jazz/house interpretation of bob james’ “spunky, filled with refreshingly fun instrumentation and vocal accompaniments- it’s that vibe! . “flexa” starts off with a strong rhythm base, then takes off into the night as warm bass tones and vocal scat chants alternate over the course of this future-meets-primitive hypnotic groover. both tracks reintroduce some playful sonic alternatives to today’s more discerning dance floors, and with the diverse background of aju and his fellow sf bay area ensemble members, there’s plenty of soul and sol, just in time for summer.

the environmental radiation dose on the moon ep is the first collaboration between zooloft and aconito records. the two labels are twinned in exploring the limits of techno, experimenting with structures and sequences and ultimately arriving at the place where the deep and dark sublimes. the ep opens with the child that was watching the moon a track lifted right out of the drone-techno hymnal. it starts with muddied, subterranean bass and builds not just outwards but inwards. filled with obtuse references and metallic rasps the atmosphere created is obscure and spectral. on the reverse the moon that was watching the child sounds like its been exposed to radiation. the sounds are distorted, as if created from samples of the genome unzipping. the arrangement is stunning, bells filter in and out and the layers smelt into one another. there is awe at work here, but its an awe that remains underpinned by terror. this release, mastered in berlin at the legendary calyx studio, is something of a record collectors dream. it will be released on solid silver vinyl in a very limited edition of just 200 copies. za000ltd should be enjoyed on wax, this wont be available digitally.

oh ruin is eoin o ruinaigh, originally from dublin but now residing in london. having started out playing in a host of bands, at one point embarking on a tour supporting morrissey, he has now gone solo and is turning out such six-string gems as the two tracks collected on this single. a beguiling melange of untempered blues and campfire songs which draw on a rich irish folk tradition, eoins songs are intricately drawn sketches accompanied by deftly finger-picked melodies, even performed on guitars made by eoin himself.

the debut album from hrdvsion, aka nathan jonson, takes the listener to a variety places, at least some of which will doubtless be new to many ears. a non-compromising creator of glitch-heavy electronic music for the last decade or so, hrdvsion has finally matched his esoteric vision to the more formal structures of house, techno and electro/breakbeat.

this e.p. is a composition by two artists who release their feelings thru their music. g.marcell presents >breathe<. on this side of the e.p. breathe is a musical adventure were g.marcell expresses a time period of release from the everyday drama. sometime in our everyday life we need just a little relief from the everyday pressure of the issues we encounter. this is the reason for the inhale mix and the exhale mix. the inhale mix is the more laid back groove where as the exhale mix is the more energetic groove strictly for dancing. on the other side of the e.p. >necessary sanctuary< is amirs experience of the dance floor when he hit the club scene. the original mix is full of energy and a for sure crowd pleaser. the 3am mix is more of the mellow late nite groove. over all, the e.p. is something for everyone to relate to in one way or another.

multi instrumentalist and singer maryja symone johnson and percussionist eric thomas joined together at the rhythm sticks festival in london in july 2004 to create new sounds that have been influenced by afro-caribbean origins. they have successfully performed at different concerts and festivals throughout europe. their first single >je suis music< edited by thiaba records is an adaptation of the original disco hit written in 1978 by international artist cerrone. afro-urban concept completely transformed this song by playing soca grooves with new melodies but the dance floor flavor stays alive. on side 1 is the vocal version with some extended piano, drums and percussions improvisations at the end. on side 2 the first track is an instrumental version recorded with the typical 70s sound where the drums and percussion are in evidence. the second track is more an hypnotic london drum n bass version.

drums have been discovered in almost every part of the world. drums first appeared, however, in excavation from the neolithic era. the oldest recorded drum is from 6000 bc. mesopotamian ruins contain small cylindrical drums that are as old as 3000 bc. egyptian tombs have yielded small drums used for ceremonies. several caves in peru contain wall markings depicting drums in various aspects of societal life. it is strongly suspected that indian drums from the middle east are as old as 5000 bc. the american indians used a series of wood and gourd drums for their celebrations and some of these drums are still used in ceremonies today. drums were not always used for music. in africa, where music is simply an interpretation of everyday life in sound, drums were used as speech. simply a pattern of beats played in a certain way could communicate vast amounts of information. jeff mills creates the drummer (pm-022). 6 track 12 vinyl ep. mills communicates through only a classic roland tr-808 drum machine, exclusively made for the purpose maker/axis. each track dedicated for the masters of the art form of drumming like: neil peart, billy cobham, buddy rich and others, mills explores how drum patterns and rhythms remain communicative on a higher level that has endured through evolution of humanity.

stroboscopic artefacts is proud to welcome on board singapore-based xhin (meerestief). with his production wizardry he has been crafting ominous cuts of cutting-edge techno.>fixing the error< is an enormous peak-time club killer. xhin knits together the sinister sound of the revolt of the machines. high frequency drum machines and ferrous sub-bass synthesizers are working urgently against the clock. close your eyes, dissolve, step into dystopia. you are transported into a post-human cityscape where strobes reflect off smelting metallic sounds and deafening alarms wail. these warning codes, layer upon layer, fashion a vision of a metropolis gorging itself on sprawling noises. the flip side, >link< has no narrative. instead, this deep, brooding slice of dub-techno is composed of pure atmospheric pressure. the undercarrige slithers and slinks, interrupted by crackles of lightening and prehistoric rumbles. the result is a construction created in a cold palate of pyrite grey: bubbling, spherical and terrifying. this is dark. this is urgent. this is xhin.

the end of the world is near, only survivors in the city of the future where there is no trace of life, two brothers roam the apocalyptic climate. a war among justice and david guetta has lead to the annihilation of electronic music on earth two years ago ... desert in the city is a call to remind dancefloors of the planet that techno is still the source of the digital world.
