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.

bosconi is proud to announce the arrival into the family of one of the greatest legend of house music, the oldskool hero a guy called gerald. the release randomly arrives in coincidence with the definitive closing of another legend, the place in berlin that has been a symbol for years of the cultural renaissance of the german capital after the wall, the tacheles.

after almost 4 years of silence tolcha are back with neustadt, another intense and suspensefully cinematic full-length lp. like the title of the record suggests, the berlin based four piece decided to pursue a neo-retro vision of a sonic after-future with this one. what does that mean? the record clearly leans on a motorik aesthetic, but all the while redefining it with modern production techniques and surges of their very own breed of dub, rather than rehashing genre related cliches.

van bonn returns after his release maserung on telrae in april 2011. van bonn has been in the studio a lot since then and has worked on a number of tracks that are highlighted here. onwards i is an excursion into sound. it starts with sounds that interact in a subtle way but then as if by magic, suddenly it rises to a much higher energy level, almost pulling you by the hair. chords now kick in with the full force of brutality, like the strikes of london’s big ben and then you’d think the track will just burst. van bonn makes another turn before he lets the drums break loose. it seems as if van bonn is taming the brutality and direction of his electronic machines. abstract now meets the concrete and whoever wins the fight is up to the listener to decide. the first remix comes by raffaele attanasio who has had considerable success with der pianist and i m a jazzman and has collaborated with trapez ltd artist mihalis safras, a. trebor (trapez), as well as claude young, nic fanciulli and has shown his versatility throughout the last 3 years. juan atkins recently featured raffaele attanasio remix of no mans land by a. trebor in his charts.his remix for van bonn keeps up a strong beat programming right from the beginning. a beat monster so to speak is alive from the beginning and kicking. the track is written in a style that shows expansion and contraction and through that shows an organic breathing quality.

as christmas 1969 beckoned, jimi hendrix, bassist billy cox, and drummer buddy miles engaged in extensive rehearsals for their highly anticipated appearances at the fillmore east in new york. branded by hendrix as the band of gypsys, the trio worked feverishly rounding such exciting new original material as >izabella< and >machine gun< into form. keenly aware of the special significance his forthcoming concerts represented, jimi wanted to prepare something extraordinary for his audience. to mark the occasion in his own inimitable fashion, jimi readied this special medley of holiday favorites to celebrate both christmas and the dawning of a new decade. this recording was made at baggys studios, a manhattan rehearsal facility the group preferred. it by no means should be considered a polished studio recording made to hendrixs exacting specifications. it is, instead, perhaps even more revealing. this is a glimpse of jimi simply having fun in the company of close friends. the photograph of jimi posing as santa claus was originally organized on behalf of the uk music newspaper record mirror. to help publicize the december 1967 release of axis: bold as love, the groups second album, jimi agreed to pose as santa for the issues cover. an alternate photograph from that session, with jimi bearing gifts in the form of axis: bold as love, is featured here. as an added bonus, also included is jimis playful >three little bears<. this track was recorded with the experience at the record plant in may 1968 during sessions for electric ladyland. bypassed for that album, >three little bears< was originally issued as part of the 1972 posthumous compilation war heroes. it has been unavailable in the us for nearly twenty-five years.

this autumn brings a rare treasure to all you music lovers as markus schatz finally throws in a unique piece of art. >smokin wild< not only stands as the lps title - the album itself is hot, smokin, sexy and wild. markus has worked on it for over two years and put in all his passion and the most dedication. he repeatedly had musicians at the studio recording voices, pianos, brass and other instruments to keep his masterpiece as authentic as possible. have a listen and you will find out why this album keeps you on the dancefloor. its deep house style surprises you every now and then with chicago and nu jazz influences. this idea leads you through the lp and bestows it the potential to make it one of your favourites.
cd-copy of the full album included.

assemble music returns with a three-track ep from colognes david joseph aka st. joseph, exploring further the refined, tripping path forged on the labels previous release from daze maxim. the pianos, vocal snatches and ambient hiss of josephs releases on platzhirsch are present and correct, but here the jazz flourishes are reduced down into something far slicker. these tracks have been prepared using a keen blade, and none sharper than >personal dancefloor<. heavy drum programming and a rumbling bottom end bring to mind theo parrish in his moodier moments, but the deal is sweetened by light piano, garage-like vocal samples and a deep, burning 4 love bassline. >indigo< spins the duke ellington classic into a spiralling, shuffling chugger that will bring a 30s harlem spirit to enterprising dancefloors. move the needle to the b2, though, for the eps party hit. written in 2009 and reflecting that years raw arrangements and joyous samples, >wave/table/muscle< finally gets a vinyl release, proving this sound endures to this day. expect more of the same from assemble music with their next release featuring vera and ricardo villalobos.

the son of a prominent nicaraguan politician, alfonso noel lovo was a choice target for the sandinista rebels who hijacked his homeward flight from miami in december of 1971, ultimately putting several rounds through the talented musicians torso and hand. after several years, and as many surgeries, he would break new ground on this psychedelic swirl of latin jazz and pan-american funk with his musical partner, percussionist jose chepito areas of santana fame. long unavailable, la gigantona has lived its forty years lost in the grooves of a single acetate. imagine a nicaraguan take on herbie hancocks afro-jazz masterpiece mwandishi with some of the most penetrating, left-field guitar youve never heard.

new years deal - after recording tapes & cd-rs at home since 1994 in france, the first release of violence fm on vinyl appears tardily on mathematics recordings in 2009. in 2010, he has released a amazing ep on the french label premier sang that reminded us the work of the detroit pioneers especially derrick may & the genius of new wave new order. rhythm playing and drum-machines programmings, editing, mix and mastering, his compositions are often inspired by tribal spirits, organic deep bass and melodies, oscillating beetween smoothie and energy, or both.
