stories of prison sees timothy j fairplay returns to emotional response having helped shape the identity of the label in it s infancy with the release of somebody, somewhere back in 2012. a lot of music has come from both artist and label since then, with fairplay s reputation as a solo artist fully established thanks to releases on a myriad of labels. stories of prison is a mini lp rich in the musical intensity fairplay has instilled in all his music to date, yet there is a daring sense of diversity at play too. from the effervescent dubbed out house toughness of opening track -the quay-, fairplay veers into subaquatic breakbeat, deep synth love from outer space chuggers, and other late night sonic treats

lovely house release by volta cab!

the ep is called spotlight diktat in reference to the feeling some djs have when they are on tour. a kind of dj melancholia generated by airplanes, dehumanized hotels, waiting hours in boring terminals, basically traveling alone. i made these tracks out of this mood. at first they sounds like the typical groovy dance tracks, but when the melody comes out, you immediately feel there is something wrong now the track is on and you still dance (of course its made for that) but you could almost cry to it too. so this is what happens when a dj or a producer has to do their job, but they aren t really in the mood for it. when the party comes, they just forget everything and make the show happen regardless. they have to bear the spotlight diktat and keep on entertaining people regardless of what they have in mind.

the observer effect is a brainy and challenging record. recorded exclusively with gear, with all tracks arranged live, its tracks are pure explorations of the process of writing electronic music.

auch wenn don bryant bei dem legendären soul-label hi-records nicht als einer der führenden künstler vermarktet wurde, war er doch ein integraler bestandteil der firma. so gehörte er zum songwriter-team von willie mitchell und war als sänger auf etlichen aufnahmen zu hören. als co-autor von -i can t stand the rain- von ann peebles schrieb er auch einen der größten hits des labels mit. zudem heiratete er ann peebles. auf seinem nun widerveröffentlichten solo-album sind echte soul-perlen zu vernehmen. zudem zeigt don bryant, dass er sich als sänger mit den großen namen des hi-records labels messen kann. lp only.

>i am ok<, reads the title of the new album by the berlin-based producer, dj and label-owner oliver koletzki. the heading0s ambiguity is, of course, deliberate: theres a deeper meaning hidden behind the humorous facade that is chrisse kunsts hand-drawn cover, which depicts an unadorned thirteen-year-old oliver sporting nerd glasses and a striped jumper: i am oliver koletzki, raw and authentic. because musically, on his fifth studio album, oliver koletzki looks towards the unaffected freshness of back in the day, and thus, consciously returns to his roots.

young jessie is one of the unheralded greats of the r&b, rock & roll and soul eras. beginning his career as a young teenager in la vocal group the flairs (with schoolmate richard berry, later of louie louie infamy), he then signed on with modern records and cut several high quality r&b sides through the mid-1950s

comprised of eight tracks, periscope blues is the culmination of a mission gone wrong. music for the stranded, the lost, those backed into a corner with nowhere to go, or maybe a reflection of sad individuals panicking on a tropical vacation gone awry. somber yet very tense drifting off radar machine electronics that feel like a blistering sun beating down on decaying beach remains as time crawls on. that or the equivalent to working the grill summers at jones beach and stealing from the register just to get a little more…

parts 3 of the amazing celebrate release on 12 inch... part 3 starts with a bang and -in der weltraumdiskothek- by mysterious dresden based producer dc production. if youve ever wondered what music would be played at the night club of the ewoks this tune might be the answer. -nuthin wrong here- is scherbe to the bone with his stumbling beats, dirty synths and heartbreaking samples. we also have a big heart for disco here at the valley and this is proven by sandrow m & k_chico who put a smile on our face with catchy guitar licks, bouncy bass lines and cheesy vocals. -space dancer-, what more could you desire? finally, filburt from leipzig brings things down to a peaceful end with his slightly melancholic -my time-.

an imaginary country continues from the trajectory of tim heckers last album, the critically acclaimed harmony in ultraviolet, while also showing a few new tricks. tim has incorporated more pulses into this work and also works with a sound pallete including overdriven mellotron strings and synthesizer. at times this album is less overtly aggressive than previous works, but the notion that this is pastoral work would be dead wrong as there are plenty of the agitated crescendos that he is know for. this music backs off from the void of immensity in favor of a terrain of lushness and warmth.

bergwacht records shows up with its third release trends ep. for this project, the young imprint invite someone who is a real good producer for the worldwide techno scene and part of the cologne underground family as well: till krueger, who started his career 2010 with the well-known and featured wrong shirt ep on 200 recordsand is an important exclusive part of wir networks international artist rosterby now. he currently gets attention for his motor city ep and full support ep. as you see, bergwachts family story goes on.

during off map excursions seahawks encounter the woo tribe, legendary creators of celestial tones. via mind-meld the two groups merge and blur to create two eleven minute plus journeys that explore the outer reaches of mystic disco, warped house and psychoactive boogie. drenched in delay and smeared with hazed reflections of a thousand birds lost in a tropical jungle mist, the results leave you fazed, stunned and overflowing with euphoric intent. designed with the most creative dance floors in mind, both journeys are deep, disorientating and empowering. this release is in league with the wonderful emotional rescue label whose recent re-release of woos *whichever way you are going, you are going wrong* album has brought so much joy to the world. swim on forever.
