moonshoe records has bowled over first listeners by presenting this new side of their sphere - air space arks debut, all rivers lead charts the course of divergent streams of contemporary ambient music, downtempo rhythms, and electroacoustic experimentation, arriving at a calming confluence of these sources. across the 6 songs on these two sides, they evoke a calming and contemplative headspace

a miramar is a place from which you can see the ocean. the bolero group, miramar, chose this word as their name to evoke a place of peace, reflection and solace for a broken heart. even the bolero, a romantic music born in cuba in the 1800s, might have been conceived by the seaside. in the 50s and 60s it became the quintessential musical expression of romance in latin america. it is this era of the music from which miramar draws their inspiration. urgencia (or urgency), tells of the desperation a heart feels when it is swept away by romance, but risks all for fear of not having another chance at love. the flip, salida means a way out. it is a song about the surrender that comes after trying to break free from the darkest of places, of endless frustration and sadness. the lyrics allude, but never tell.

never underestimate the power of a good bassline. mark du mosch certainly doesn’t. this veteran from the harbor city of rotterdam let’s his vicious bass line creep up on you from behind on 202 ac ra. a dark and jacking club belter with clear chicago roots. the five track ep the heavens may be his debut on sohaso, du mosch has been releasing music for over fourteen years on a variety of respected underground labels, such as moustache, dekmantel and royal oak. his versatile style draws on sounds that evoke strong mental imagery and a sense of eternity, which clearly shows on the introspective resonance delay (she) on the b-side. in which a melancholic melody is supported by muffled slow motion beats. the beautiful artwork on the heavens ep is by joost stokhof, an amsterdam based graphic designer who is known for his love for detail. which makes him perfectly suited for du mosch’ subtle and well crafted dance tunes. in a normal world you would open your ep with the title track. du mosch chooses to close with it. the heavens stays true to it’s name. a harp like melody that washes ashore as foam from a greyblue northsea that calmed down after the storm. heaven indeed

bruce aka larry mccarthy is set to release his debut album sonder somatic this october on uk imprint hessle audio. the album packs 11 singular uk club tracks that evoke a distinctly emotive and dense energy, channelling detailed sound designs, tangled textures and club anthems for 2018 and beyond

„spectral decay” is a collection of musical reflections about the paradoxical contemporary state of humankind, whereas its own technological, social, cultural and economical development seems to entrench the possible points of a structura downfall. the narrative of „spectral decay” starts with heavy, mesmerizing industrial vibes. due to the notable sound design techniques of japanese artist tetsumasa, his hefty piece „nex” evolves into a harsh but still amazingly cinematical music sculpture. subsequent mid-tempo composition „onzour shayatini” by meer dynamically follows the dark, experimental path of drone and noisy structures. violent accents smoothly lead to the deconstruction of drum & bass patterns and turn into strident 90s metal riffs. the track progressively penetrates obscure subterranean abysses and becomes a perfect introduction to the next theme by yuji kondo – „hades”. in greek mythology hades was the ancient god of the underground kingdoms, darkness, death and metals. therefore, kondo’s music piece turns into an infernal portrayal of the underworld where tenebrous layers of bass frequencies, raw textures and drexciyan sounds build up an enormous and lasting tension. side b begins with the track „anthropocene” produced by arboretum co-founder – mogano. the whole composition refers to the present geological epoch we live in, characterized by environmental pollutions, depletion of fossil fuels and accelerated urbaniza- tion of the world. it is a deeply conceptual soundscape of a powerful system, that incorporates both – the destructive forces of technology and the infinite energy of the whole universe, that interweave in a devilish dance of post-techno, breakbeat and dub tones. thereafter, ~raw in his piece „poly bios” pictures the interference of human structures in the nature. creating a mosaic from indus- trial and tribal, organic sounds, he tells a mystical story of fear, hope, escape and primeval instincts. the narration concludes with an atmospheric composition of nwrmntc – solo project of ana quiroga from experimental ambient duet lcc. „beyond” is a boundless, spectral reflection on collective human consciousness, where haunting vocals evoke a recon- dite, ineffable pain, leaving the listeners in a profoundly meditative state. laura polan&#769,ska

following on from his debut on mörk last year, jon fay delves even further into the depths of the nocturnal shades of dub techno. deep, throbbing percussion thumps under twitching, sparse electronics that evoke an alluring, alien soundscape. a soft, gentle heartbeat sinking into the soul. a celestial exploration into unknown territories.

repress: this is the sort of record that could only have been made by someone with a vast amount of experience. producer nick dunton has a decade s worth of releases behind him, and it shows. sketches of my life veritably skips between electronic sounds and styles. it s deeply rooted in techno and electronica and specifically the clean futurisms of detroit s belleville three but steadfastly refuses to stick to one particular groove. once offers heady dub techno enriched by cascading piano figures, lost love bittersweet electro. fallen and abandoned virtues, meanwhile, evoke memories of teenage nights lost in the otherworldly sounds of warps pioneering artificial intelligence compilations.

for their first artist ep, super tuff revs up four tracks of high-octane house music from marcel lune. fresh off of an impressive lp for local talk, the uk up-and-comer again proves a knack for effective and subtle productions. the a side sets the mood with -moon sequence, a lush tune that builds to a cinematic climax. he settles into his groove with you can do it! a four-to-the-floor piano jam sprinkled with wonky synthesizers. on the b-side, lune finds himself unhinged on the open road with unknownz offering up a live drum groove drenched in bright synth stabs and triumphant string melodies. finishing the b-side, sun is all shuffled claps and peppy synthesizers that evoke the warm feeling of a sunrise after a long night out.

the highly-anticipated debut album from blocks & escher is here. since first appearing on metalheadz in 2014 the duo has been hidden away mastering their craft and honing their skills, culminating in a long player entitled something blue. now ready to be unleashed, something blue is an album that ventures into various corners of drum & bass and jungle, never failing to surprise or evoke emotion. its a culmination of blocks & eschers dedication to the music, with the finished article coming in at nothing short of exceptional. we couldnt be happier to release something blue this march.

coldgeists music on unknown bodies is an intimate reinterpretation of coldwave, techno and dark ambient codes, uttered with strength, guts, and an underlying romantic soul. inspired by nocturnal runs of bosozoku bikers clans, who stem from this japanese subculture of the late seventies , coldgeist has created a series of soundscapes and songs that evoke speeding through foggy nights and fluorescent lights. haunting repetitions and stiffness of the rhythms as a metaphor of mechanical gestures, of bodies turned into units of consumption, stranded from the life and passion they crave. the frustration of a youth that only finds relief in extreme experiences, danger, and the sexual tension of speed and crashes. with analog and digital instruments, field recordings but also his own voice and songs, coldgeist has bred a truly unique record.

radical connector was originally released in 2004 and is now fnally back on vinyl. this re-issue is pressed on mixed splatter color vinyl and presented in a high gloss jacket with free download card. though reference points like daft punk and prince have rightly been thrown around, radical connector is in fact a strange album that doesnt sound like much else. pitchfork

nanni and francois le roy are both accomplished producers and djs in their own right. together as ruff stuff they make extremely well produced tracks that always have one thing in common – making dancefloors go crazy. after starting their own vinyl-only imprint (ruff stuff music) with four fully sold out releases, we are excited to get four banging disco house heaters that work equally well as dj tools and at a house party.
implementing their knowledge gained as hard-core clubbers throughout the 90s, nanny and francois make tracks that they know will evoke strong reactions from the dance floor. this release is equal parts thumping, driving, peak-time house and bright and beautiful disco bangers with a bit of italo flare! with its beautifully worked afro samples mixed perfectly with techno-infused house drums and hats, “kiss of death” is set to be huge on dancefloors from the clubs in berlin and london to the open fields of dekmantel and dimensions.

following the adelaide electro sounds of furious franks magic mountain ep, ken oath returns with an eye-opening survey of modern ambient music along australias coast. breathing space is the intermingling of organic and synthetic textures lyrical birdsong and field recordings that evoke the immense natural beauty of australia alongside blissful pads and synthesizers that echo the calming waves from lazy days spent by the beach. with contributions from ken oath alumni donalds house and angophoras max santilli alongside 9 other hand-picked australian artists, these meditations on antipod

figure jams enters the next round, setting up a pairing between two hardware-loving, no-frills techno-purists. both artists build on vibrant, machine-made roughness, yet each leaving their uniquely flavored footprint. kicking things off is eindhovens albert van abbe, whose wide-open soundscapes and searching synths evoke an emotional impact that goes far beyond mere tools, able to equally move and sooth even the fiercest of late-night lovers. low-key producer sp-x appears on the flipside, ready to get lost deep within layers of hypnotic loops. searing percussion, rumbling bass and dubby synths engage in complex conversation, subtly swelling and swaying but always keeping the groove ever so tight.

sleep-deprived, breakbeat-driven vignettes of unclear authorship, from somewhere west of lake lagoda, near the russia-finland border.sekundenschlaf has significant points of correspondence with contemporary european electronic music, as well as the golden age of (early) jungle and ambient techno. but its response to tradition, and to the zeitgeist, is idiosyncratic to say the least – with an atmosphere and psychogeography rooted in the tranquility and majesty of western russian nature, and the anxiety and distress of the country s post-soviet working class. pastoral calm meets dissonance and unease. the music has a loose, improvised feel, but its arrangements are intricate, its melodies iridescent: cascading arpeggios that stir a sense of optimism and renewal, sighing string-pads that evoke the deepest melancholy. rhythms simultaneously hyped-up and burned-out, collapsing in on themselves as they race to destinations unknown. all bound together with field recordings of eavesdropped conversations, blurred into abstraction, a droning subliminal menace.trust me, you ll be fine

a prison of predictions is the first lp from the ownlife label (excepting seld series, focused in pressing back gems from two decades ago) and also by the person behind it. leiras.
on it, the producer showcases a compendium featuring the characteristic sound of the platform, pushing ahead cyclical techno together with tracks that evoke the persistence of remembrance. echoing the preterit sound of sandwell district and renewed sound formulas from almost two decades of uk electronica. ambient brush strokes outline soundscapes surrounded by analogue sounds that share space with more direct and snappy songs. a scape on the frenetic side of electronica with an idm-leaning end closes the equation.
substantiating his versatility as a producer with the label’s previous 10 titles and undoubtedly confirmed on this record, leiras offers a consequent closing for the first stage of ownlife, which finishes on this point in order to look for new sound structures for the next transmissions.
this lp has been created in berlin during the last months using mixed recording techniques with the purpose of conceiving a narrative thread that gives coherence to the release, without doubt an inflection point in leiras’ discography.

moodoïd is a psychedelic rock band founded in 2013 by pablo padovani, the projects leader and mastermind. early nicknamed the new prodigy of french pop music, pablo wrote and conceived a first very peculiar, pop and psychedelic album. they notably toured with phoenix and played with renowned musician and producer damon albarn. soaked in psychedelic pop and world music, the songs written by pablo padovani evoke just as much os mutantes tropicalism, connan mockasin dreamy atmospheres and gong progressive liberties.

cindy appears again in memories of cindy pt. 2, a passage of five plaintive cuts, concisely rendered with spineful percussion, succinct melodies and textures that evoke classic acid house and the new beat scene of the late 80s / early 90s. featured on pt 2. are several songs among the collection s non-club oriented tracks, transportzone mee- and forever afslutidijk, both meditative, atmospheric exercises interspersed among the ep s higher-bpm takes.

black truffle is honored to present a new issue of annea lockwoodÆs classic 1970 tape piece tiger balm, unavailable on vinyl for over thirty years, accompanied by two exquisite unreleased works for percussion and voice. created while lockwood was living in the uk, the side-long tiger balm is a singular work within the cannon of tape music. inspired by research into the ritual function of music, the piece explores the possibility of evoking ancient communal memories through sound. breaking entirely with the dynamic language of the musique concrÞte tradition, lockwood uses a select palette of mainly unprocessed sonic elements chosen for their mysterious and erotic characteristics (a purring cat, a heartbeat, gongs, slowed down jaw harp, a tiger, a womanÆs breath, a plane passing overhead), presenting at most two sounds at once. as one sound flows organically into the next, their shared characteristics are highlighted, opening a space of dream logic and mysterious associations between nature and culture, the ancient and the modern. the b-side presents two pieces for percussion recorded here for the first time. amazonia dreaming (1987), performed by dominic donato, uses unaccompanied snare drum and voice to evoke the nocturnal soundscape of the amazon rainforest. unorthodox techniques and materials (marbles, chopsticks, a plastic jar lid) transform the snare into a resonant field of sensual textures.

møzakia broke down the door for no bad days with their first release, and it is with great delight that he returns to kickstart the new sister label - no bad edits. the name has changed, but the ear for colourful and supremely dreamy tunes hasn’t. these impressive tunes are not your standard cut ’n paste extensions.
using motifs from a long-forgotten 80s new age cassette, møzakia shoots for a mellow paradise with three cuts that variously evoke finis africae’s 4th world exotica, contemporary house jams, and even the rainbow road level on mario kart 64. long may the love-in continue!

la vida sigue igual’ is immediately a more physical affair than its predecessor, kicking off with the title track, a hard hitting percussive monster. the sparse simplicity of the machine gun synth work & monotone spanish vocals by mystic bill evoke classic 80 s industrial and art house dance tracks. we’ve included the instrumental version for adventurous djs who want play doubles. on the b-side are two versions of the track “animals”. version 1 explores the underbelly of ny with maniacal industrial rhythms and samples from diamanda galas and travis bickle (robert deniro) in taxi driver. version 2 ventures into dark freestyle territory, fueled by the underground energy of chicago’s warehouse and medusas clubs

vinyl only. first release from lisbon’s leading dance music record shop, carpet & snares records. andré leiria completes his journey from wide-eyed customer to fully-fledged producer, with three reflective originals and an outer-space dub from mosaic boss steve o’sullivan. ‘raining sun’ and ‘not the way home’ evoke wet spring days in the city, sustained chords and delayed accents swelling like morning river mist over the diligent bass and percussive clatter of urban life below. o’sullivan’s drifting dub of ‘raining sun’ steps boldly into a galaxy-scale soundspace, echoing the best of his dub excursions from the late 90s, while on ‘fear of death’ there are hints of another steve (reich), its cacophony of arpeggios propelling the groove into ever higher registers.

part 1/3! several shades of the same color is patricias first album for spectral sound, produced in conjunction with his own label active cultures.

this grouping of audio recordings is for aural use only. any emotional content perceived herein is borne of its listener, and is in no way intended by its author. any sounds resembling speech are not intended to convey meaning. several shades of the same color is patricia s first album for spectral sound — produced in conjunction with his own label active cultures. tips for listeners: consider the moment in which you exist, pay attention to how these sounds evoke physiological (rather than cognitive) responses. listeners may find themselves deriving immense physical pleasure from exposure to these sounds. inability to achieve such pleasure is likely attributable to over-analysis of the aforementioned audio content — or to improper amplification. each of shades three lps features suites of tracks that, considered alone, comprise their own distinct, unique worlds. disc one opens with -i know the face, but not the name,- an unabashedly plaintive trip through classic electro rhythms, flip it over for -the words are only sounds,- a haunting affair for synthesizer and voice. disc two s -the electric eye is upon me- swirls endlessly, while -shiba inu dub- is cut for the floor and coy as its namesake. disc three s jackin -feel your body- will cause you to do just that, -german friendship- sounds like d.a.f. on dissociatives. any emotional associations incurred while listening come at the listener s discretion. furthermore, the identity of the author and/or their passions regarding the recordings herein shall bear no weight on the listener s experience. this body of work is not intended to generate ideas, rather, its goal is to produce physical sensations in the listener.

the countdown has begun! polish mastermind kuba sojka digs into his wide repertoire of influences to bring us this latest release on cosmic club. each of the 4 tracks is distinctly unique, standing out from one another through kuba s varied uses of synths and percussion. -countdown- is reminiscent of those early detroit movements in techno and electronica, instantly reminding me of the likes of dopplereffekt, which is certainly no bad thing. the vibe of -getaway- is exactly as the name would suggest, pumping arpeggiated synths accompanied by piercing snares that evoke images of a neon-drenched, italo-fueled 80 s action film. try and not feel energised to this, we dare you. on the flip, -ego- scratches the itch for something deep, filtered sounds galore with a bit of that garagey swing. rounding off, -everything will be ok- drops the tempo and commences the much-needed cleansing after the pure energy that has come on the track before, this is my new 5am watch-the-sun-rise tune. kuba knows and delivers with this essential record! as usual : vinyl only.

adrift is the beautiful debut album from uk composer-pianist steve gibbs. acting loosely as a reissue of gibbs’ hugely popular bandcamp release of a similar collection of pieces, this expanded, re-mastered, heavyweight vinyl edition paints a clear picture of a composer mastering his form.

visions congo is yet another moniker from discrepant’s head honcho, goncalo f cardoso, taking africa as a starting point to evoke the memories and re-imagined experiences of his 6-month stay there in 2015.
most of the recordings and compositions were done in the great lakes of africa region of uganda, congo (drc), tanzania as well as the island of zanzibar.

ambient power duo anjous sophomore statement continues in the vein of their 2014 debut, unfurling a full hour of mesmeric synthetic drift and veiled melodic undertow. comprised of mark nelson (of pioneering post-rock experimentalists labradford and pan american) and robert donne (of labradford, aix em klemm, cristal), the group work largely in long-form suites of sound, alternately spacious and dense. the new lps six pieces embrace flux and ambiguity: drones swell and shudder, hushed currents of noise glitch and dissolve, atmospheres congeal and liquify. as with the participants prior projects, anjou evoke a shadowed, mysterious mood, variously melancholy and transcendent. the album is an accumulation of craftsmanship and experience, blurred forms traced in light and fog.

beranek’s debut album, “sound of danger”, was released on mind expanding records in november 1981. nowhere near as accessible as the previous single, the album fared poorly commercially. withdrawing from the single’s fun, kitsch pop, the album is cool and static, driven by thin rhythm boxes, cold synths, and glacial guitars. taking heavy cues from david bowie, all of the songs are sung in a nasally english accent, a rare occurrence in norway at the time. the lyrics are melancholic, but tinged with paranoia. there are also upbeat tracks that evoke a prog or glam sensibility a la king crimson, alan parsons, or roxy music. all songs have been remastered for vinyl by george horn at fantasy studios in berkeley. housed in the original jacket featuring red, black, and white lines that evoke a visualized richter scale designed by monica moltzau. each copy includes a 2-sided 8x11” insert with lyrics and an autographed press photo of beranek.

outcast oddity returns for their first full artist ep. who better to ask than sebastian voigt? his contribution to the label s v/a 003 compilation called lux aeterna‘, was a transcending techno trip that turned heads earlier this year. just as the ep s title, or rather the lack thereof leaves room for interpretation, this music refuses to be categorised too easily. rough around the edges but effortlessly elegant, one foot in the past and one in the present, sebastian delivers three mature tracks that evoke memories of acid house, uk rave, sweaty basements, strobe lights and euphoric moments.

karim sahraoui, known by releases on labels such as transmat, cocoon and arts, as well as dj appearances on boiler room and on dancefloors all around the world, makes his debut on off recordings. book of life is a melodic techno track in karim s signature style. warm and emotional, albeit with a strong drive for the dancefloor, it can set a strong accent in a set. italy s dast created a slamming peaktime techno interpretation, which is sure to create a massive effect on the dancefloor. syncopated chords and a rolling groove build towards an epic break. -exodus- is aptly named as a perfect track to close the set by the end of the night. lush and warm pads and melodies evoke a warm and optimistic atmosphere. anton pieete remixed exodus with a minimalistic and more groove-focused interpretation. altogether an ep with a timeless feel, spanning the borders between techno, house and electronica.

during the 1950’s american exotica exponents les baxter, martin denny and arthur lyman fused african and latin rhythms with caribbean and polynesian sounds to evoke the sonic equivalent of a tropical island paradise. this 3rd volume of britxotica examines how their english equivalents fuelled by the popularity of hit musical south pacific, attempted to create the same sun-drenched haitian ambience in rain-soaked, post-war london.

with new wake up! ep further apart lerosa s mark of fluent, elemental and strong work offers increasingly deeper sulphuric and acid sounds. down reaching, complex grooves and rhythms give direction into solid moving tracks - where i want to dance. currently located in the emerald isle of ireland, you wonder if context gives form to lerosa s sound, a permanently sodden landscape offering the backdrop. weighty tracks such as terza persona seat layers of digital, organic beats, peals and stabs that contain the same sort of dark nourishment that staring at a black bog in connemara* might evoke. despite its wide, dark tones, lerosa s tracks always contain a dimension of upbeat empathic elements which make it so attractive, the kinda pelvic push and pull where you wish you had the foot work to pelt out some shapes. *connemara is a district in the west of ireland, the boundaries of which are not well defined

after a few digital releases, lunar convoy delivers a masterfully executed debut ep to inaugurate newcomer belgian imprint norite’s vinyl series. counting northern electronics, hypnus records, semantica and prologue among his main influences, lunar convoy’s first effort is utterly coherent while not failing to evoke a plurality of emotions. imbued with sacred atmospheres, infiltrated with mysticism, ritualistic melodies and aesthetically charged rhythms, outer rim territories is a testimony of his love for deeper realms. on the a side, seswenna’s trancey lead synth and pumping bass opens the ep with an excursion towards distant planets. ryloth ventures into darker fields, scattered with whirring and saturated analog complains and haunted by ancient voices. on the flip side, eriadu sets a more mystical pace with syncopated kicks and floating eerie pad, to embark on a parallel dimension. allen’s take on ryloth is symptomatic of the us-based producer, speeding things up and offering a stripped down version filled with devastating hi-hats and firing toms to end this solid 4-tracker with the hypnotic-yet-effective sound that got him signed on attic music, m_rec ltd, polegroup or more recently granulart recordings. with such a captivating release, lunar convoy has set a high bar for the upcoming releases and left us under his sway.

both sides evoke the ubiquitous tension between anxiety and gratification inherent to a curious human experience.
driving bass and organic percussion sit within a subtly evolving context, as the tone oscillates between claustrophobia and euphoria. the result is two ultimately uplifting techno tracks, equally relevant on the dance floor as in the hands of the home listener.

brisbane raised, now berlin based lvc keeping things nice, slow and smooth on the a side - things you do is a stunning piece of early evening house. with a vocal that is as easy to relate to as it is infectious and with a nice bass line to round it out.
brisbane local talent nick jawgoh jorgensen takes us deep into rhythmic heaven on the b side - badu dreams builds on a winding and hypnotic foundation, when the warm vocals hit the speakers you know it’s go time. guaranteed to evoke emotions and make you feel it.

oddball space disco tracks compiled from library tracks composed between 1975 and 1978. big tip!! from the early 70s to the mid-80s, this self-taught musician composed about twenty albums of production and library music with generic cover art and titles (out of the way, magical ring, keys of the future, pulsations, more and more, etc.) that evoke interstellar travel. these experimental discs, made with love, humility and rudimentary means, had no ambition other than to accompany other peoples images. by exhuming these obscurities from the dustbin of history, born bad have decided otherwise. archaeologists with an agenda, they seek to give jean pierre decerf the renown he deserves: that of an innovator whose rhythmic, synthetic compositions inspired the harbingers of the french touch (air comes to mind), not to mention some east coast rappers.

recorded in st. petersburg over the course of 2015, this first release on glasgow based imprint 12th isleis a collaborative effort between dices & À,Ý,Ì, Ð,è,ò,ì,-Ê,à,ñ,ê,à,ä, (aka flaty/dada ques), affiliates of the udacha and gost zvuk record labels. titled Ì,û,ñ,ë,å,ï,î,ò,î,ê, (thoughtstream), the lp eschews trend in favour of meaningful sonic discovery, and in doing so offers as much to the adventurous dj as it does the attentive home listener. side a encompasses ambient synth textures reminiscent of 70s-era library music, established upon rhythms that evoke turn of the century detroit house. at once melancholic and playfully optimistic, the six tracks range from rhythmic experiments to sketch-like beatless vignettes. the flip side sets off in a slightly darker tone that is succeeded with pace and persistence in the drum patterns and winding arpeggiated bassline of caleidoscope. alongside the heavily swung hologram, these tracks are very club considerate a function that in no way offsets the records assured narrative purpose. across both a and b the music maintains this singular intent, channelling aspects of early sequence-based electronics and vintage space rock around a diverse and playful compendium of rhythms. comes with screen-printed sleeve, labels and insert.

our 003 has arrived, a trio of tracks from the vast archives of salford s own sonic insomniac, mr d.ball. although previously unheard, these tracks evoke instant feelings of nostalgia and reminiscence.as always dave exhibits his effortless knack for combining emotive melodies with liquid basslines and refined percussive rhythms.from the majestic electric piano and live strings of title track elements,to the graceful, wandering synth lead and growling bass of doreen through to the epic 13 minute b-side healer with its subtle chord progressions and sumptuous live bass crescendo.timeless,sentimental music that will appeal as much to lovers of classic techno such as underground resistance or mayday as much as it will to fans of ash ra tempel or jean luc ponty.all tracks recorded in salford between 2002-2006, extracted from minidisc 2015.

to celebrate record store day 2016, claremont 56 is proud to present something rather special – a killer single-sided release whose origins are shrouded in mystery. “tropic of capricorn” arrived at c56 hq with little or no information. while its’ humid sound effects and glistening, unfurling melodies evoke hazy memories of mediterranean sunsets and adriatic sunrises, the track’s creators live east of ukraine, in the colder surrounds of the russia. regardless of who made it, you’ll struggle to find a single that’s quite as warm, tactile and seductively groovy. built around a hypnotic, slo-mo groove, “tropic of capricorn” soothes and sedates from start to finish. its’ ingredients are relatively sparse – think gently undulating beats, toasty chords and an electric harp that gently ebb and flow like the waters of a mountain stream – but the results are nothing less than stunning.

this time tiefenrausch welcomes a new artist in their dub techno family. förster joins the label with his aqua viridis ep and presents a debut with three tracks. as part of his „grün“ series, every track stands for a different vibe of the genre. the a-side comes with a pumping, reduced smasher, that definetely aims on the dancefloor. side b brings more immersed deepnes. „grün xv“ and „grün xviii“ evoke an abyss and enwind the listener with dublime deepness. all covered up by the artwork of alex ketzer and the imagery from jules vernes „20.000 leagues under the sea“.

in an endless ocean of electronic music, dj bone has always managed to stand out. 100% of the music he creates is the result of translating his experiences of growing up in detroit (both good and bad), into songs, songs that stand the test of time, excite the spirit and evoke emotion when played or heard. and now, bone has decided to unleash/unveil an alter ego…differ-ent. a sworn enemy of stagnation, differ-ent pushes past the boundaries of acceptance and into the realm of anticipation with differ-ent sounds, structures, visuals and moods. dj bone is detroit… dj bone is techno… dj bone is differ-ent.
