classic techno electro tune!! great one

experimental industrial music! tip!

amish boy aka sküge (not to be confused with skudge) is hugues croibien, a thirty seven year old belgian who has experimented with electronic music since his teens. with a diet of seal phüric, the prodigy, autechre and unit moebius stoking his primordial fire, croibien began to align with the rage that exists in the breakcore genre. already an addict of reggae and dub at this time, croibien decided to create some cut-up raggacore with his brand new ableton live 3 software. meanwhile with friends, croibien created break n brol, a non-lucrative association which tried to promote alternative electronic music in liège where he lived. they premiered some bassline stars kanji kinetic and -squire of gothos- on the belgian scene, alongside other alternative electronic composers and musicians like subjex, ebola, mustard gunn and herrmutt lobby. the fellowship decided to create a free net label to release compilations with the bnb party artists. the rough style techno resurgence over the last few years has precipitated a metamorphosis, sküge became amish boy more glitchy than techno, more offbeat than acid and more ambivalent than industrial. although heavily invested for two decades now, laika test project on power vacuum will be croibiens first vinyl release, with a follow-up already in the pipeline.

introversion created a name for himself with his remarkable debut with the first record on the label. the record is still in rotation today, and surely will be part of the rave scene for a big timespan. he is back with a complete 12”, providing his ravy personal sound reminiscence to the 90’s. now more than ever the artist is defining his own sound, creating a new window following the old and good roots.

2018 repress incoming!
in a pretty typical sabre fashion he has sent us a tune called >halo danger<, expectedly what we heard instantly was pure danger and another killer in the works … now here it is coming your way on the 4th of june 2012. insane production as ever, huge riff, huge snappy drums, huge low end. it is an instant dispatch fave for us! we say no more… on the flip we have sabres often studio production partner in crime halogenix bringing us something solo, completely creative, fresh and inspiring. his productions are quickly building a reputation and >laika< holds no exception!
dj support is very widespread on this release already coming from the likes of: dj marky, alex perez, ant tc1, jubei, spectrasoul, octane & dlr, klute, zero t, rockwell (ministry of sound radio), lenzman, icicle (as featured on rinse19 cd), ulterior motive, skeptical, hybris, kasra, nymfo & safire.

four tracks of back-to-basics, no-nonsense techno from derek plaslaiko.

seth troxler continues to shed light on the frontiers of his musical interest and offers up the next record on soft touch - his imprint specialising in the more celestial strains of indie, rock, electronica and everything in between. this third instalment comes from a fresh nomadic trio: aou who align their esoteric set up and a wide range of influences to present their ‘gordo laika’ ep.

stephane lefrancois & jameson gilvarry team up for the latest 12inch from the secret music label and find inspiration from a canine icon of space travel. laika is named in honour of the first cosmonaut dog, depicted here on the cover art and lefrancois and gilvarry convey her journey through an uplifting, rolling techno cut that doesn t seem to stop building. complementing the original is a remix from dantiez saunderson who strips down the groove, while giving it a swung, offbeat feel. staying true to the original, this version also introduces another layer of melodic synths, extending the journey, making it deeper and moody. the booming, clean low end and bouncy high end keep the groove propelling forward.

limited tape release with download code included.
she is adventurous. she is restless. she is on the move. the seventh heulsuse by berlin-based tony casanova and mirco niemeier goes by the name *laikas journey* and includes a stunning kevin over remix. both originals are pure dancefloor-oriented firebugs that boast with unique rhythms and some extra fancy basslines. you better beware - laikas rocket was just launched.

auf panthera krauses letzter riotvan ep äugte bereits ein kleiner kläffer vom cover herunter. das neue werk laika denkt die tradition in großem stil weiter und widmet sich einem der prominentesten vierbeiner der geschichte. laika war der erste hund im all, und es kann wahrlich keine bessere versinnbildlichung des geistes geben, der auch in pantheras stücken wohnt. die rede ist von entdeckerdrang, der ihn immer wieder von ausgetretenen four-to-the-floor-pfaden abkommen lässt. vier neue panthera krause-tracks mitsamt einem skit. dazu wie immer das artwork aus der eigenen hand dieses universaltalents, das neben seinen solo-ausflügen auch noch bei marbert rocel und karocel am start ist.

both being well established electronic musicians, producing music since the era of hardware samplers and dat tape, they recently teamed up for their new project named after the famous two dogs who travelled to space.

this record tells the story of a detroit groove from the perspective of the speaker, taking you through time from luomo s to the hardware syst3m parties, and the first leaky warehouse roof no way back where dean syst3m worked the door, with all the disrespectful nature one would naturally expect from a true detroit groove. created by two veterans of detroit grooves, bmg & derek plaslaiko, who now calls berlin home, in bmgs studio in the center of detroit. this song celebrates some of the out there characters and crazy cowboy outlaws that made this detroit scene happen on the underground level, that made such an impact that is still felt around the world today.

special sunday in advent deal !! ectomorphs bmg join forces with another huge character in the scene, this time detroits derek plaslaiko. killer and highly danceable detroit style electronics...tip! limited hand painted sleeves!

the title malaika expresses verve and esprit already when pronouncing this energetic song. balcanic and rhythmic trumpets with the characterics of this catchy tune are combined with groovy minimal tech house beats. a track with number one potential. steve nash is now on the road to success - also thanks to the previous alles wird gut and toronto pronto (released by beatmodulrec). and with malaika the symphatic guy brings us now a summerlike electro acoustic highlight. already played by laidback luke, gabriel ananda, moonbootica, steve angello, karotte, turntablerockers, roger sanchez...

new 12 inch from the bunker new york.

ambient-acid influenced techno

body music, mind music, ass-shaking and head-boggling, clay wilsons third release on the bunker new york is a dance ep that manages to be both restrained and cacophonous, speaking to his classical training as well as his years as a dj, producer and sound tech. since we first met clay as a new-to-new york city bunker party regular back in the public assembly days, through releasing his earlier music and having him join us at numerous label showcases around the world, we’ve come to know him as an exceptional producer and dj, an essential part of the bunker family and a regular fixture in our lineups. this new release is an expression of the deep relationship weve all forged through years of raving together of freaking out to an unreleased track on the dance floor only to find out your friend made it and then getting a crew together to remix it and put it out!

juris boiko (1954-2002) and hardijs ledinš (1955-2004) were the core members of the nsrd, which is best known as latvian avant-garde, postmodern, experimental and underground music group active in 1980s.
their activities were widely multidisciplinary and they can not be considered as purely musicians since none of them had a professional musical education. their creativity was manifested through variety of media – music, performance and action art, visual arts, poetry, samizdat, the introduction video art in latvia etc. nsrd also made a significant contribution to the explanation of the theoretical aspects of art in the interpretation of the postmodernist movement, and developed the independent concept of “approximate art”. at the end of the 80s, nsrd got connected and performed with several artists and musicians living in west germany, including indulis bilz&#275,,,,,ns, micky remann and maximilian lenz aka westbam and others.
the vinyl release includes a download code.

little is known about chicago s tb arthur except that he makes essential acid and techno.

french producer keumel makes a poised vinyl debut on the inner balance imprint, with three originals of fine skipping house and a remix by imprints head domenico rosa. “laïka” is an afternoon space-walk in the vein of vintage derek carr, its synths, hats and mid-track acid line surfing light and breezy over a scudding, bumping bassline. rosa’s remix strikes a more contemplative note by placing a soft breakbeat under the acid line and airborne pads. “no chill” is a fast-tempo stripped-down house jam that kicks to the sound of the label’s father figure chez damier and his contemporaries. “space birds” rounds out the ep by building a slowburn groove out of which a lightly-warped acid line slinks part-way through.
