since its inception in 2001, each entry in the pop ambient series has included its year of conception in its title, an irony in the fact that many consider the music being timeless in more than one way: a feel-good classic to some, a rigorous experiment to others, pop ambient always has located itself between the poles of habitual listening and sonic curiosity, with the space in-between beats being a way more interesting material than the beat itself. as in the years before, pop ambient 2013 collects an illustrious cast of producers uniting genre pioneers alongside old friends and some surprising new arrivals.

with the success of her joint ep with victor calderone titled the journey begins and finishing another incredible summer in ibiza as a resident for carl cox at space, we are excited to welcome back nicole moudaber to drumcode.

call it whatever you want. we think of it simply as techno music. deep, raw, mystical and industrialesque music that makes you think about your desires and gives you the illusion of clearing away time and space. having lived in almost all corners of the world, it took nothing more than finding themselves in berlin, a dose of random chance and a barside conversation for irakli and yacoub to figure out they had similar views about music - and so, i/y was born. i/y 001 is a three track intense journey into the depths of techno.

vinyl only, 180 gramm pressing, blue vinyl and strong limited. >primary colours< life begins with the echo inspectors creation, lunar shadows. exploring the depths of space, lunar shadowÊs form begins humble, discreet, with its stealth like kick forming structure around dark matter, playful hats, deep sub and intertwining textures and layered frequencies.over the ages the moon has helped us describe everything from rarity, love and lunacy. this release is another interpretation by of the over-standing sphere in the sky.

next round for chymeras >death by misadventure< interpretations. this time, both remixes were made for >an island in space<, definitely one of the highlight tracks of the album. on side a, uncanny valleys jacob korn, who just released his debut longplayer >you&me<, turns the tune into an intoxicating hymn somewhere between house and techno. catchy, and with a wonderfully positive atmosphere, the track is pure bliss. on the b, dutch techno veteran orlando voorn delivers a piece of properly driving melodic techno. several melodies entangle to one big sound collage. there is no real beginning or end, like a neverending jam. a very unique track and so much more than a useful tool...

now keep your eyes and ears peeled for an original hreno! his music is best described when not described. although it has been likened to an unmanned, deep space, probe droid. or an unrelenting pony ride at a petting zoo. experiencing this music is like standing on a rivers edge, or on a vast precipice. either for the bathtub or a spring mounted dance-floor. hreno has opened his vaults. dive into a sonic experience, travel from country to country, forget boarders, feel your heart warm up, suddenly you are completely new. then portage to reach the other side and let yourself get lost ...

dusty baron aka latecomer may be a recent arrival on the scene, but he plays like a true veteran. a mysterious export from the around same eastern latitudes as label boss vakula, his music, much like vs, sounds just as rooted in the post soviet russian landscape as it is in the post industrial north america which gave rise to all the soul and machine funk that is the driving inspiration for so many of todays roots conscious electronic artists. vakula takes the controls on side a with dubwise and exotic production skills whilst side b showcases the barons heavy heavy chops, with drum programming as deft as his keys work, and a sound which is equal parts earthly and heavenly. sides c & d (on bonus 7inch) see v step up to offer two takes on >follow shot<, continuing the theme of techno tinged jazz cosmism. a noble introduction, by way of collaboration, to the dusty baron and his sound, and yet another installment in lelekas continuing contribution to the musical space time continuum.

dva started off hyperdubs barrage of albums in 2012 with his brilliant >pretty ugly<, and now closes the the year with the >fly juice< eps bumper selection of machine tooled tracks, each created for optimum dancefloor damage and road tested by dva, kode9 and a select bunch of djs. these tracks are a brilliant example of what he has been describing as power house for a while, a colourful chunky techno sound that switches up every 8 bars like grime and has plenty of shuffle and offbeat swing as a counterpoint to the 4/4 drums.

two definitive dancefloor powers collide with some dark, space, psych-out grooves. dont worry, there is some melody going on here. a serious electronic feel too. the deep vibe of early acid house minimalism is abundant as well. just listen, and all shall be revealed. as for the artists…? well, old school meets new school.

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.

the creative combo doppelgaenger, pitchbar records latest offspring, are hitting the club scene with their vinyl debut >lumberjack<.
in the track >flavoured funk<, doppelgaenger live out their hard-edged, pushing, deep side. the slightly trancy elements are joined by a hard kick drum and somewhat deep vocals contributing to the tracks dark and driving atmosphere. this track represents a homage to the thick tree trunk that drives itself firmly into the earth, covered by a resilient bark and crowned by its old cracking branches.
the second track, >i feel good now<, mirrors the trees lush foliage. somewhat lighter around the treetop, there is nonetheless a solid body below, which can be played into wide space. >i feel good now< gives us the lightness to leap from branch to branch and up into the crown that protrudes into a dark night time sky.

catz n dogzs pets recordings returns with a collaborative single project as refreshing and breathtaking as the back catalogue releases before it. >follow the step< is the first original track from sofia-based german musician, rachel row, and fellow bulgarian house/techno stalwart, kink. born of a rare connection where words are unnecessary, rachel row and kink have created a dreamy, love-longing, magically soulful record that defies genre and space.

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.

>hier ist nicht da< is a dream scapy techno jazz poem that has the potential to carry you away to outer space. you can clearly sense dadas affinity for cage & stockhausen which makes this record quite a special one. dadaglobal is part of zürichs electronic music scene for many many years, involving himself at the most infamous venues in switzerland. dada is performing live with machines only, combining all the things that make him who he is: smart, sensitive, expressive, genuine and educated in classical music. nice try records is also very happy to announce a trippy old school contribution to this release by lausannes producer and dj ly sander.

tomas bjorkman aka deymare slaps us up in the face with some tough drums, melodic keys and a contrasting subtle bubbling bassline on the title track to create a slice of proper house music. remix from deep space orchestra.

nice price deal !!! dennis busch is an artist who is well-known to all pingipung fans for his >james din a4< contributions to our catalogue. this man of many faces has also developed a reputation as visual artist. therefore he decides to present his music under the same name: dennis busch - which we think might be his real one. dennis busch has delivered an enormous output of odd, melodic techno tracks in the last decade – mostly on his own now unfortunately vanished esel imprint (this means donkey).
comes with code for free mp3 download of the full album.

bastard jazz is proud to present the debut ep from brussels based production duo eric p & luigi aka monkeyrobot. coming to light through their work as 74 miles away (melting pot music) and tall black guy, who selected their standout >basement infusion< track to be on his tempo dreams compilation album (released in june on bastard jazz), and alliance between the label and m.r. seemed natural.
here on their self titled 12 inch, monkeyrobot deliver four diverse tracks that showcase their skills behind the boards, the keys, with a keen ear for the dancefloor. kicking things off, >brick stomach< is a synth-heavy four-to-the-floor 120 bpm joint that comes off like a floating points visit back in time to 1980s detroit with its rolling snares, arpeggiating synth bassline and cloudy pads. next up, >northern light< filters shimmering space disco vibes through big, thumping instrumental hip-hop drums and moody analog bass. on the flip, >rose gris< takes things in a funkier direction at 100bpm with its syncopated drums, irresistible lead, squelching bassline and all manner of synthesizer explorations. rounding off the ep is >last days<, which still manages to inject a funky 80s analog sound into its melancholy downtempo vibes.

new kanada enters the fall 2012 season with some dark angular acidic house. black and medleys >roll the dice< - featuring the voice of rosina – is an old-school blend of disco, ny house and classic toronto warehouse vibes. slightly acidic, with its bubbling juno bassline – and slightly techno with the driving, repetitive beat – this house track should rock the deepest of dancefloors. file somewhere between henry street and early adonis. 5am - no earlier. for the flipside, adam marshall sits down at the controls for a clinical, tight, stripped-down scrubbing, turning the original into a late-night fear edit. broken, diffused drums and lots of black empty space in this one. the lights go out – blackout.

are you: troubled by persistant, nagging soul-aches? unable to sleep in old-fashioned three-dimensional space? exhausted from supervising worlds that only you can see? dont suffer for a minute longer - get the filth today!

this is sadly the last in the holger czukay remix series from claremont 56. limited to 555 with 277 pressed on orange vinyl and 278 on yellow. the first recordings of perfect world were made in the inner space studio in weilerswist (1984) together with can members jaki liebezeit and michael karoli joined by sheldon ancel. here is the new remix version by the man himself and on the b side we have the version of photosong recorded live at the roundhouse and the original version of hit hit flop flop.

having hibernated over the past few months, truesoul is back with a run of releases to close out 2012. the italian duo of frankyeffe and enrico sangiuliano kick things off, combining to deliver two smooth cuts that straddle the divide between house and tech house. >consciousness< works up an atmospheric mood with spacey effects and the spoken vocal sample woven into a rolling, percussive groove. >neaps< retains the percussive feel to create a bumping rhythm of drops and builds that provide the space for the distinctive vocals to do their damage.

our two french techno masterminds lowkey & kardinal are back together with two brand new strong powertracks for afulab ! their following is ever growing and they surely defined their own techno style with the more than power and tension fueled creations

model 500s influence on music arguably looms larger today then ever before, with a fresh wave of fascination coming from a new generation of electronic musicians and fans alike, whos lust for the innovative, original sounds of the first wave of detroit techno knows no bounds. ofi has already received the remix treatment from two big guns of the r&s stable, space dimension controller and bullion, who both applied their unique touches to the original in the 2010 remix release, and now it is the turn of apollo - with five new mixes coming from sei a, shadowchild, synkro, indigo and colonel red respectively.

>square< is the follow up to redshapes album debut >the dance paradox< (delsin, 2009) - that is if you dont want to count the double impact 12-inch >red pack< as a long player. and indeed, it is a long player in the truest sense of the term.

chairlift present takes on several cuts from acclaimed second album >something< by some of their favorite producers, showcasing how their songs can easily be adapted for the club. appropriately titled the 6.15amix, spanish equipo fantástico john talabot and pional turn >i belong in your arms< into a balearica-infused club-closer. a nifty piano line and seductive rhythm take the song on a late night (or rather early morning) trip to the beach, while carolines voice is being warped into something from outer space. photek takes the same track to a whole different place with his powerful jungle interpretation. martyn respects both the pace and rhythm of sidewalk safari, yet exchanges the clean production for a rather more cosmic beat, incorporating many of his signature touches to compliment the sinister >i m gonna hunt you down< lyric. dan careys dub mix of >sidewalk safari< shows a more playful side, while arguably the most intriguing remix of the package is the fields take on >met before<, recalling his early work it is so warped and layered you may struggle to imagine the original minus the smallest of hints.

interstellar ep by label boss deepbass showcases more of informas modern sci-fi sound. two original tracks of hypnotic, atmospheric techno which capture the feeling of travelling through the depths of space. on the first remix we have psyk (non series, mote-evolver) who takes the track to the next level with an intense feel of uplifting tension. our second remix is by nax_acid (aconitio records) who provides a much deeper beautiful remix which takes you even further into the interstellar.
