parisian techno enfant terrible mondkopf makes a rare excursion away from his fast rising in paradisium imprint to deliver an ep for perc trax, a label that clearly shares mondkopfs love for the experimental, the industrial and the distorted. across these three tracks the french producer applies an overdriven, fuzz-heavy aesthetic to symphonic broken beat techno. think ancient methods or perc at their most uncompromising but then expanded in every direction heavier bass, sharper highs and an orchestral edge that is epic without ever coming across as contrived.

from friendly and uplifting (beware) to ultra-dark (subcutanteous tissue), abstract & dubby (detoxification) and home listening jazzed up electronics (aquarium), imugem manages to pull all of that of seamlessly without effort.

benno blome and adrian martin have created a reminiscence of sound. echoes calling from the past into the very moment you are in. *echoes from home* recalls the deepest and hidden treasures lying and waiting patiently inside your soul. creatively complex in movement, the sound carpet is easy and accessible from every point of listening. a touch of incense from the past combined with todays visionary artistry of both performers. close your eyes and follow the echo, the capturing flow from the original version. the nico stojan mix is a sexy combination of the original flow with a touch of bitchy attitude added to the bass line. perfect for a more hidden place near the dance floor while kellerkind has added a deep sassy feel to his interpretation of *echoes from home*. both versions pay tribute to the original mix without losing either the originals or their own character. this is *echoes from home*, the more you hear it, the more you want to play it!

the third u-ton release enters the merry world of post-disco and proto-house, mirror ball fantasies, baby powder dreams and rays of sunshine. manhooker are guiddo (music) and mavin (vocals) who were brought to the attention of ostgut ton by nd_baumecker. wheels in motion and club anonymous both got the club remix treatment by rotciv (the rimshooters, mister mistery) who delivers clever and respectful dance floor adaptations without destroying their peppy pop appeal.

moody yet not morbid, futuristic but not foreign, modern but not without class

saste004 is the fourth release in the stellate series: sounds gathered from the experimental frontiers and outer edgesof electronic music. for each stellate series release two tracks are created by four different producers. collectedtogether here are eight tracks from the periphery of electronic music.

2013 repress !! highly recommended! deep, strong and relentless, this is the first full length e.p. of the analogue cops on their own label restoration. as usual, an unquestionable raw force is summoned by the abrasive touch of their experienced hands on incorruptible machines, without any mean computer involved in their operations.

debütalbum des kalifornischen duos poolside, bestehend aus filip nikolic und jeffrey paradise, letzterer ist zusammen mit zwei mitgliedern von the rapture auch bei den calculators aktiv. poolside mischen auf erfrischende art und weise disco, indie und pop. ihre erste single >do you believe< befand sich in den playlists von todd terje, dimitri from paris und the magician. die zweite single >take me home< war der opener des letzten aeroplane-mixsamplers.
pressung auf coloriertem doppel-vinyl.

without revealing too much, this tasty sampler is a prequel to some very nice things ahead. for now, we can treat you to two music box inspired edit tracks. ... tip! essential stuff!

proper four track 12 inch vinyl! curious will get em jackin, medicine is a brazen belter, without end is all sultry and steamy with lust and longing and teedraheedren takes you on a psychedelic electro-funk odyssey before dovetailing into a dubbed-out arpeggio wonderland. we really are extremely pleased with the vibe of this release. hope it hits you in a good place

willie burns and aroy dee on remix duty ... golden combo! sequencias is slowly building their profile with their outsider house,acid and chicago rooted tracks. hailing from new york, just as likeminded labels wt records and l.i.e.s., sequencias is delivering the goods! another place, another time is an epic track and willie burns stepped over his shadow. trippy and full of tension, slow building without taking the paved path. killer track! we could say the same on the aroy dee remix, however he is going more in the chicago direction and with adding dramatic strings. truly epic!

three track vinyl without the box

benjamin brunns first full-length since songs from the beehive with move d, leaving aside his recent colour tracks which was a history of edm.

feverish new eaux release, limited white vinyl 1st edition, printed disco bag. although rroses alma mater record label sandwell district may now be defunct, the actively ambiguous american producer shows no signs of slowing down. after launching his own experimental techno label eaux earlier this year and making true-to-name appearances dressed as a sophisticated, chic female, rrose has continued to pursue elusiveness while ironically garnering an enthusiastic following amongst techno purists. without a doubt, the release of > wedge of chastity< will further reinforce the sonic niche that the eaux label has carved out for itself.

in their own words, like a radio-controlled mechanical, electro-mechanical and multifunctional musical instrument, berliner ring build up relentless and relentlessly different grooves in a characteristically non-direct way. as if playing around without focus they layer their tracks and slowly position them into form. the tracks featured here were originally released on cd on the art yard label. melodies are fragmented, often even sparse, the groove never stops, but does so with intervals and while changing focus. berliner ring references similar bands in the krautrock and post-rock genre, but it s subtlety, the originality of their self-built instruments and their songs that shift from downright groovy to more atmospheric explorations of ambience and texture guarantee them a unique voice and perspective. essential stuff.

the torino scale ... is a way of gauging the potential damage that may occur in the event of an impact from asteroids or other objects from space. as the richter scale measures the strength and potential damage from earthquakes, the torino scale is used to measure the potential for damage from objects striking earth. it is all about impact... but it is also about beginnings, as scientists discovered that primal dna might have been carried to the earth by an asteroids collision with earth. the torino scale is the debut solo album from berlin based producer and supersoul recordings head xaver von treyer, aka xaver naudascher. the result is astral pop music that swirls around the idea of beginnings, ends and aggregate states, whilst staying true to the known supersoul sound - strong connections to dance music (krautrock, italo, chicago and detroit) without being nostalgic or exclusive to one style.
limited edition of 350 numbered copies. comes as red coloured, black & white marbled triple 12 inch vinyl in heavy cardboard box, including cd-copy of the full album.

after the cosmic awakening ep by dmx krew on shipwrec, breakins label boss returns under his edmx moniker, this time to stir up business with some analog 303 mayhem. four tracks of proper hardcore raving acid! without any compromise 153 mission ep smacks you in the face with a force not many possess these days. a very effective dancefloor smasher for the late hours.

new years deal - behind the highway, near the industrial area, next to the airport, somewhere in the innercity, urban principles fall apart. that leaves the enclaves, mono functionalism and an urban ultra density that local governments are struggling to eradicate. both a cage and a cocoon, there is a space where development opportunities hit the wall. hybrid places that combines urban collapse and >the new culture<, endemic violence and solidarity, all of which is left to the communities to deal with without outside help. when the post-industrial economy becomes sporadic and nothing else takes shape, man is left at the mercy of his environment. techno appears and becomes a parallel between man and the city, as another faceless entity which unifies them. this unity is the result and techno is the process.

perc trax is proud to unveil the debut ep by pinion, known in a former life as us-based producer bobby dowell. pinion is the sound of a man with his own vision of music, sitting somewhere between classic industrial and contemporary techno without slavishly bowing down to either discipline. where the likes of ancient methods and perc are the sound of metal on metal, pinion is more like wood on leather, a ceremonial throb that switches in an instant from tightly locked grooves to more freeform rhythmic patterns.

animal knights - creating something new by coupling the established! pique on the a-side is pure dancefloor-kerosine and an archetypal peaktime-hit. the elegiac kalmuck on the flip takes it from a rather gentle approach and is impressed by a catchy melody followed by guitar and singing passages. both tracks share the same amount of animal trainer and round table knights styles without any doubt

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.

it is a cold dark winter – snow is lying everywhere. simon12345 and the lazer twins are heading up north into a little wooden house in the northern parts of denmark. they will live there for the next weeks and build up a temporary studio in this secluded cottage. simon has got a handful of sketches with him. musical states of mind and conceptual games he developed over the last years. basically the idea is to develop something truly unique and powerful – although none of them knows how that will sound exactly or what will happen in particular during this time. it is not even clear who plays which instrument, who will do what…nothing is set. the only thing clear is that they have things to say, things that have been burning in them for so long now. tell me. how can (mostly) instrumental music suggest a way of life? how can you criticize without pointing at something particular? how can music transport you into place of quietness and self reflection?

mussurunga - that is the name which is used by the complete body inked cousins sigi aigner and didi bruckmayr for their outstanding performances on club dance-parties, festivals, free-parties and weddings in the home- and foreign-countries since more than two years. at their shows they use deep bass-lines, demanding beats, gentle hooklines and raging 3-d objects. the large sized mr. state-opera-chorister aigner and the dwarfish universal-bush-leaguer dr. bruckmayr also are known for their benedictional work with the performance-group fuckhead, for them they count as finded minds. mussurunga is a frowing suburb of the brazilian provincial capital salvador da bahia, which aigner and bruckmay vistied job related. while one of them waited without success for a date in mussurunga and spent all the spondulix which was meant for the taxi, the other one worked very hard in the regional beach-bars on artistic concepts. the result of this jobshare is, among other things, the present ep.

bereits während der letzten drive-by truckers tour begann patterson hood am vorliegenden album zu arbeiten. ursprünglich hatte er geplant ein buch zu schreiben, dann stellte er aber schnell fest, dass die texte sehr an songformaten angelegt waren und sie sich nahtlos in seine musikalischen entwürfe einfügten. das album wurde in seiner heimatstadt athens/georgia aufgenommen, und er ließ sich dabei von fast der gesamten drive-by truckers crew musikalisch unterstützen. ein album für fans von wilco, neil young, alberta cross und natürlich drive-by truckers.

nice price deal !!! borngräber & strüvers latest album represents a unique selection of chamber music compositions created in the period of 2000 through 2012. this denotes a new facet in the musical cosmos of the berliner duo, combining influences in the range of minimal music, classic and baroque, as well as the art of improvisation and pop culture. clouds can be considered as an album for fans of richard skelton, the caretaker and christian naujoks, but its distinctive work manages to reach a far wider audience. the album begins with the piece wellen (waves) for soprano and strings. the music is arranged and composed in a sort of wavy-shape, as the title suggests. it is a piece in the purest form of minimalism: without an end, without a beginning. the following track mobile pays homage to richard strauss don quixote, as musical parts and constantly changing atmospheres reconcile to create a sense of movement and mobility. last but not least, secret bells represents an instant composition as charles mingus would say, combining piano works and field recordings. clouds 1-3 were written for a virtual chamber orchestra and join together to give the album its leading name. these >clouds< differentiate themselves trough stylistic influences, ranging from classical to the latest in music.

six artists remix the rich sound material from sven kacireks lp >scarlet pitch dreams< (pingipung 32, april 2012). svens original percussion recordings and his densely layered melodies invite for a rework which fo- cuses on the single elements. robert lippok (to rococo rot, raster noton) turns the title track into a balearic sunshine dance until the voice and synthlines evoke a deep and driving witchhouse at- mosphere. absolutely awesome remix! opiate aka thomas knak from denmark (morr music) is one of pingipungs favourite artists in the world and we are very happy to have his remix included here. his highly individual syncopating beat works dive into the pool of svens percussions, with the snare and marimba always in the foreground.

new l.i.e.s!just when we had our doubts about the west coast, los angeles via nyc producer delroy edwards steps up with his debut release for l.i.e.s. musically edwards takes his influences from that barneys ghetto sound with oversaturated 909 shuffling highs, dx bells, 101 filters and ends up making fresh, and yes, melodic ghetto style tracks that somehow get stuck in your head even without vocals. a unique take on a modern classic with the dancefloor in mind.

the music of portable is truly unique. habitually perlons in-house singer and also the man that is bodycode, alan abrahams is capable of evoking the spirits of traditional deep house songs - yes, you read right: songs - without getting lost in nostalgia, manufacturing boring carbon copies or a longing for a past that never was. his first visit to ramonas little outlet is all that: haunting, melancholic yet optimistic, as deep as it is driving and most of all mesmerising. >a process< features all his great sound signature moves, comes with an acappella for brave djs and a serious flutramental on top of it all for the faint at heart. creation might be a painful process, but surely a rewarding one for portable. ramona is in love.
