modem:39 is booted and connected. main task: linking components like friendship, art and communication. this sustainable mixture results in label artist tommes first release on solid 180g black gold. the a.r.l.t. ep represents a thoughtfully crafted selection of analog sounds, inspired by classic house music. tommes, being a part of eastern germany s underground scene since 20 years, demonstrates his unique style with four timeless tracks. his passion for dubby sounds and chords echoes through the whole ep – solid deepness incoming!

mcdrive is a bass line driven tune, full of versatile, warm synthie-melodies and catchy percussions. its length offers great mixing possibilites.

let s get smooth and dreamy on the „stendalsunsetboulevard“. a beautiful piece for any occasion.

side b features two more linear and straightforward tracks. -deeples“ hypnotic dub-groove creates a very profound depths. club approved!

cheerful house roller „deemin goes- glares with atmospheric pads and a punchy bassline - perfectly rounding off an honest solo-ep.

the ep is limited to 300 editions with a handcrafted cover artwork - 50 of them comes in a special black and white edition, 250 copies in decent black artwork.

pressed on 180 gram vinyl. skeletal shards of static tropes spew from the pro-one as dead prog drummers join the dots with heroic trills … an infrasound-tinged intervention provides a non-dropsy intermission bass binge … a graf spee of a tune, long-scuttled in the woofers … mmahler.

in 2006, tim arndt released the first near the parenthesis album “go out and see”. arndt had intended to follow up that release with a more beatless ambient album, where percussion was left to the side and composition took center stage. a shelved idea that we now get the benefit of a full ten years later. this new album helical is the realization of arndt s stripped down ambient concept. helical features arndt’s characteristic experimental modem classical instrumentation and compositional style, but slows things down and stretches them out. the focus on the organic is clear, but moments of ethereal breath weave in and out and prevent the album from becoming too self aware. helical, as a loose reference to the geometric structure of our very dna and it contains themes that are driven by a recent discovery of arndt’s past and ancestry. the release seamlessly stitches all of these concepts together and marks an unique release and new direction for arndt’s near the parenthesis.

taking a more shuffle-heavy detroit-leaning mentality for this ep, but still retaining that tape-crusted edge, snow bone explores more of his heaving, modular-esque detroit-inspired sound, as well as more stripped back rollers. boulder-crushing kicks and bass reign, all grated over with scattered modem bleeps and trashed up hats!

unknot is the duo consisting of producer/dj sciahri and composer/audiohead emanuele porcinai. unknot01 is the first release on the duos self-titled label. the music is derived from recordings of jam sessions taken on a semi-modular set-up and later contextualized, through arrangement, within a dancefloor-oriented framework.
the core of unknots sound is strictly bound both to sciahris solid techno background and to the mutable character of emanuele’s electroacoustic productions. the dialogue between such distant practices and approaches, brought to an extremely restrained setup, is what defines unknots musical identity.
unknot01 is a stark, angular swarm of sounds, shaped within very structured yet experimental arrangements. each track delivers propulsive, cryptic and poignant melodies disguised in the harsh and outright aggressive rhythmical patterns.

its been an interesting few years for the one called jakes. from being one of the highest-regarded mcs in the drum and bass world, he took his hand to producing. after creating some of bristols earliest and most seminal dubstep tracks, such as >modem< and >3kout<, his studio skills and style became further embossed. in early 2010 his tracks, >rhythm< and >skanners< spearheaded the productive assault that was the hench mixtape vol. 1. for the next installment of the hench mixture, jakes steps up with a double dose of his signature production style. fasten all loose furniture to the floor and turn up the sub…

new ep from detroit techno and graphics legend alan oldham.
following up the more experimental >johnny gambit 01: the prodigal son< graphic novel/soundtrack (pure18lp), alan d. oldham a.k.a. dj t-1000 gets back to basics with the >blaster ep<, phase two of the pure sonik records restart.
>blaster< kicks off the proceedings. a dirty, tracky, and bitcrushed statement of intent, >blaster< is a 130 bpm love letter to all the hard techno fans in germany and spain who have kept the faith and supported dj t-1000s international dates all these years, and the definitive statement that pure sonik records is back!
on the b-side, oldham goes electro with >i rock shit everyday<, a dark, dirty, detroit electro-groove inspired by one of his all-time favorite detroit electro acts, ultradyne. the ep closer, the lo-fi >machines<, is the sound of your laptop, tv, and coffee maker conspiring against you in dial-up modem code. what happens when your microwave starts thinking it can cook better than you? you better watch out...
