presenting the fourth vinyl release, los angeles imprint reinhardt welcomes romanian sonic explorer akim# to the fold. culminating in four tracks crossing genres and themes, pulling from influences and experiences throughout a history crafting his art within the bucharest electronic music scene. taking elements of ambient, electronica and techno, channeled through a dream-state lens. the phosphene ep is created for the dance floor with a soundscape sensibility, making for an unmapped odyssey.

enriching the sonic portal, techno conscript antenna happy marks his second release on reinhardt with two pieces of finely crafted electronic music, in the shape of body and day four.

nice price deal !!! helping listeners to escape reality, which has been known to grate, on occasion, has long been a noble aim of many musicians. one of the most effective ways to do that is to create imaginary soundtracks for impossible science-fiction films, the darker and more un hollywood-like, the better. another method is to take inspiration from great works of architecture, which, as goethe cogently noted, is frozen music. the latter route is used by brooklyn producer jonas reinhardt (aka jesse reiner) on his sixth album, palace savant. reiner undergoes a profound solo odyssey on this album. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

radioactive man on reinhardt! lead track white light monochrome channels a mechanical rhythm, with a tip of the hat to electronic music founders kraftwerk

a twenty year break away from making music is almost unheard of especially within electronic music circles, but that is where antenna happy finds himself with pinto. clocking in at 9.09 pinto draws from psychedelia and techno set straight for the sun. this kaleidoscopic sonic excursion has all the makings of a cult classic, and heads up the debut 12- release on newly founded imprint reinhardt records. taking lead on the b-side an entirely different affair in the shape of fallen. this is benchmark electronic music, as arpeggiators take flight mirrored against hypnotic acid bass, for a journey into the outer house territories. closing the ep, spark holds the reigns. conceived within the same stretch as pinto, however it wasn t until some months later that spark took on its full form. emotive modular synths lay the groundwork, connecting the dots between low-slung techno and house music, culminating in a track that sits in neither genre camp. spark will appear on the digital release only. the ep title track takes its name and inspiration from paintings by antenna happy s three-year-old daughter, whose birth inspired him to return to making music. close-ups of these paintings can be seen in the artwork for the release.

foam fangs could be a term used to describe silks preferred take on that too-easily dismissed 70s dancefloor dementia of disco – the soft bite, love nibble, mirrorball on steady/ready perma-revolve. jesse reiner (jonas reinhardts first mister, alongside past/part-time collaborators like phil manley of trans am and damon palermo of mi ami/magic touch), who never quite had the kranky krinkle of his ohm-ambient labelmates, travels head-on, tomorrowland-style, through long-form cosmic moroder constellations of >foam fangs<. nothing frothy about it, though there is a bit of the rubbery in reiner’s bounce-about, cool, funky kraut-disco. suddenly we are beaming back to a time when the world looked forward, envisioning a 21st century decked with silver, chrome, and neoprene. it is a sonic space both transparent and shiny, the metallic ding and cold ribbon of data, scrolling through infinite space. the opener, >foam fangs<, transports us instantly into an ever-expanding universe of sound and light at once fanning out and folding in on itself. variations on that theme continue as the jonas journey oscillates through the beat-beyond.

from serge gainsbourg to barbara, from edith piaf to george brassens, all the classics of french singers are included in this very nice 3lp boxset.

the history of jazz through its three most mythical cities: new orleans, new-york & paris, by tsf jazz.

following london producer richard smith s (l/f/d/m, bronze teeth) debut 12- for optimo. we are happy to release this 4 track ep of killer acid grooves.

after the tense and dramatic soundscapes of jason letkiewiczs nzambi lp under his soundtrack guise alan hurst, emotional response have put the tracks to the test for three appropriately oddball remixers. fellow l.i.e.s. affiliate terekke turns out a heavily sedated dub of >nzambi< that rides a pacey house beat but buries everything in delay and reverb. timothy j fairplay brings some serious sleazy 80s electro tones to >parallel sensations<, complete with predatory vocal and thick ladles of synthy goodness. finally, jonas reinhardt cools off the intensity with a blissful ambient version of >before the dawn< which plunges headfirst into a warm bed of melodic drones.

the producer team solan yields an ideal division into compartments. when studio producer stefan klauck and dj denis reinhardt met in front of a mixing desk in 2007, it was an ideal combination of different experiences: the one who has produced various music styles from downbeat to electro, the other a dedicated follower of house who never wanted to hide his knack for soul and disco. the two of them soon found a common denominator.the project solan has by now crafted tracks which embrace the qualities of newer deep house productions and classical house music, that is reminiscent of a traditional u.s. sound.

these portraits in words and music will hang in the halls of your mind, taking shape as their features are described against backdrops of familiar and characteristic music
