das album besteht aus sechs kunstvoll gestalteten tracks und ist eine auditive odyssee, die die grenzen der genres überschreitet. ob in der nebulösen atmosphäre eines anspruchsvollen dj-sets oder bei einem introspektiven hörmarathon zu hause, diese kompositionen sind von einer fesselnden qualität, die evokativ und doch zutiefst innovativ ist.

reissue - k-hand, the undisputed -first lady- of detroit house and techno, continues her series of rereleases for some of acacia records most sought after catalog. acacia s reputation as music from a well known place to an unknown destination precedes it with a reach that is once again being expanded upon. originally making its mark in 1993, -not giving up- is a piano chord led number with eccentric disco era falsetto vocals interspersed between a house diva counterpart, all undercut by equally classic rough around the edges low end - touching on hand s influences from the new york golden days. the plastic dream mix is a more sinister springboard of sounds with an urgent energy sure to rip through speaker stacks and leave audiences in shreds. easily its dreamiest incarnation, the disco dream adaptation lends itself to bouncier, filtered grooves and vocal dubs. the ghetto growl of -beat that bitch wit a stick- was and still remains a huge track for k-hand and the label. pulling from a sound that originated in chicago, it became equally prominent in detroit through the work of hand and others. its accompanied here by an instrumental version for those that don t share in the street logic, but nonetheless love the gritty production style. finally, the legendary claude young s mix of - deep down 2- sees him implementing wavering chords and loopy vocals with a purposefully loose nyc stutter

reissue ! *everybody / you give me* is another slamming slab of detroit techno from 1993 on kelli hands acacia records imprint.

our boss claude vonstroke is the busiest guy we know. when hes not traveling the world or curating an event, hes in the studio every day putting in hours upon hours, relentless in perfecting his craft. hes had a slew of hits the past couple years in the form of remixes and collaborations, and now with the walay (my bae) ep, claude gets back to some inventive and somewhat out of the box solo works. the title song leads with a melodic riff and an funky vocal that sounds like a defective cyborg is proclaiming love for his partner, walay. this quasi-human uses the slang my bae to try and pass for human and we almost believe in his passion. the sound harkens back to old classic rave tracks but also pushes very modern production techniques. on the flip, raw nerve is an emotional exploration in both sounds and lyrics. a melancholy vonstroke dives deep into his insecurities and fears with sonically mutated lyrics like im feeling so sad, im feeling real bad today. when i see you on the street i dont want to compete. you can feel the social instability oozing out of the vocal only to come back at the close with a violently hard bassline embodying the personal angst and frustration that goes along with not fitting in.

the backroom club was packed with the hottest kids from the street. the movers and shakers wore their finest clothes to get down to the boassanova rock whilst the gangsters and players watched on from behind luxurious red curtains. in the murky shadows some exchanged more than just pleasantaries in the form of parcels and goods. they were devilish figures who existed only by night, when the streets were no longer safe for the do gooders to walk. this was a rough and ready town. cyrk is set to release a new ep on the infamous rawax record label. a charming assortment of well crafted house and some sophisticated electro cuts for the club. rounded up by a fantastci remix from claude young!

claude speeed returns to planet mu, two years after the “sun czar temple ep”, with his second album “infinity ultra”. he describes the record he’s been creating since he started making computer music as one “conceiving an interior territory: an abstract space to process the oppression, confusion and insanity of the contemporary age, and to formulate an honest emotional and artistic response - a psychic jumping off point into an uncertain future.”

beflügelt vom großen erfolg der ersten zusammenstellung hat es sich der dj, jazz-maestro, obsessive plattensammler und if-labelchef jean-claude thompson nicht nehmen lassen, zu einer zweiten reise in tiefe jazzlandschaften einzutauchen. sein dreifach-vinyl ist gedacht für alte hasen und junge dancefloor-hüpfer, arrivierte auskenner und neugierige novizen. denn: kaum jemanden dürften die obskuren, seelenvollen und natürlich längst nicht mehr regulär erhältlichen stücke bekannt sein, die thompson aus welchen plattenkisten auch immer ans tageslicht geholt hat. dabei sind es gar nicht einmal sonderlich viele, zeichnen sich die meisten der insgesamt neun tracks doch durch eine laufzeit von zehn bis zwölf minuten aus, “latin black funk” von sparrow währt sogar 20 minuten. der spirit lebt!

april showers bring may flowers, but this april claude vonstroke brings you the rain break. inspired by two different songs from the 80s - (razes classic break for love and oran juice jones the rain), claude has replayed and re-sung all the music from scratch to make a special cover tune of both tracks changed and combined into a surefire dirtybird classic. to quote vonstroke, i kept singing the break for love bassline over and over again in my head but the vocal that always popped in over the top was from the oran juice jones. i cant explain why that happened but i just thought they went together so well that i ran with it.here comes the b is a much weirder affair. built with massive psychedelic effects, a huge kick and almost no hi-hat pattern, this is late night cavemen music at its best. this big release from cvs will have you wishing for a downpour so you can go walking in the rain.
