limited lp & 7- pack from synth pop(?) giant, design a wave.... big sound on these cool electronic disco edged cuts.. hangman style design by cosmo knex - big tip! copenhagen based conceptual music act design a wave returns with ‘snakeface’, a document of surprise within the composition process. specifically, design a wave uses the computer to create several beats and then utilises the mutated results as building blocks for several new compositions. interest in computer-synthetic snakes, beyond all networks of communication and agency art, centres on placing these formless serpents into existing genres, such as music. snakeface is a timely exploration of the infectious qualities of music, and how it too, as a carrier, makes it’s way through neural networks, irreducible to bits and designed to infiltrate and replicate.

ahead of his third release for rush hour’s no label and following his alien jam’s ‘international journey of synthetic emotion’, design a wave’s debut on subsubtropics ‘international journey of applied music’ conveys another lush excursion into his ever colourful and deep-seated sonic realms.

what do an alien balancing on one of its three legs, the rsa encryption algorithm, neuroscience and prehistoric musical instruments have in common? design a wave isnt sure either but this is some music made while trying to find out. limited edition ep with beautiful cosmo knex artwork.

part 2 of design a waves continued experiments in sound, sci fi and alien counter balance... limited edition ep with sideways thinking cosmo knex artwork.

waveform transmission vol.3 initially came out in 1994 on tresor records. the eight titles on the album marked a turning point for jeff mills. it indicates a transition from the straightforward sound he had created through the early 1990’s, into the different facets and sound pallet he will develop through the remainder of the decade. it is a significant piece within jeff mills’ masterwork.

a wave of hard hitting nostalgia from tim tama.

orlando voorn comes through with a hi-tech soul future classic. original mix is a prince-in-detroit tinged electro floor filler. two remixes from gary gritness one a full-on assault of west coast electro funk and a djax-inspired cut of speaker-busting bonus beats. hidden away on b2 is an otherworldly, dub techno masterpiece, reworked by cv313.

design principles ep. explores sparse atmospheres mixed with soft stabbing dub sounds that subtly evolve and morph throughout the track. a very nice original piece of techno that can be appreciated in a club or home environment. the harmonies speak to you throughout this emotive masterpiece.a definite timeless record, as the originality speaks for itself

ben butler & mousepad, the new electric wizard on the block, are unleashing their debut album >formed for fantasy< to coincide with their forthcoming us tour with legendary futurist popsters deerhoof. the album, conceptualized by philip k. dicks hallucinatory mind, played by prog-rock legends magma and goblin, influenced by the sounds of uks emerging wonky pop culture with some good ol funkadelic thrown in the mix. it sounds out of this world but you still can move your feet to it. recorded in various places around europe (rotterdam, berlin and darmstadt)

this is a mix cd with a rather interesting twist - none of the tunes are actually mixed at all, instaed carl craig focuses on studio magic to give one long constant stream of supurb house and techno form across europe and america, with a particular emphasis on the unmistakable dutch house sound
