the original motion picture soundtrack from quentin tarantino’s “reservoir dogs” on 180 gram vinyl

the super sounds of the seventies is a selection of seminal and sometimes wacky hits by artists such as stealers wheel, harry nilsson and joe tex. the movie also raised public interest in the dutch band george baker selection, due to the use of his “little green bag” in the film’s opening titles.

clear vinyl edition repress!! in hindsight, the pairing of chris madak and donato dozzy was inevitable from the moment when the two connected on mount naeba, japan at the storied party labyrinth last fall. both artists have worked to craft singular visions unlike anything else happening in electronic music today, yet despite each producers unmistakable indivuality there is a deeper reservoir of shared sensibility between them which makes *donato dozzy plays bee mask* feel like a logical and necessary event.

richard scott and axel doerners journal of elasticity is a two-part site-specific composition recorded at the big water reservoir in berlin-prenzlauer berg. playing once with the empty space s acoustics as a third actor and once in front of and with the audience s presence, their bohemian drips debut is a riveting study of space and intensity.

the 10th release on constant black brings in some serious remixes of michael james winds of change ep. heavy remixes from huerta, nick beringer, pascal benjamin and jorge savoretti.

nice price deal !!! single life. the a side is urgent, angry and slamming. djs with kahunas will be playing these. just let doesnt feel right ride. it murders 2nd try is straight up industrial bananas, cant wait to see what happens when this is played out. the b side is full of sadness, longing and regret. single life is the artists favourite cut of the ep and i think you should know that. still waters is probably what it feels like to feel like shit and dive into a deep reservoir in the middle of the night somewhere remote where you could just drown and die without anybody around to help you.

following dusky’s ubiquitous ‘cold heart’ ep 17 steps presents kiwi’s ‘marmora’s theme’ ep - the london producer’s debut on the label.
having recently released on tastemaker labels such as futureboogie, correspondent and optimo music, kiwi’s distinctive sound is a physical mix of italo disco, techno and electro influences.
carried by a pulsating italo bassline, lead track ‘marmora’s theme’ is a cosmic epic that rides crisp piano melodies and sci-fi synths - and is already garnering support from gerd janson, dj tennis and annie mac.
transporting the original’s piano euphoria into darker, rave referencing territory, the tuff city kids remix calls on growling reese bass and ’92 hardcore style pianos.
offering some alternative vibes are the deeper, dirgy warehouse grind of ‘oth’ and the beautiful, reflective electronica of ‘reservoir’.

i try to perform as honestly as possible — the soundbite borrowed from late dancer dudley williams for this record s second track could have been uttered by the mole himself. it s this candor that has allowed us to bear witness to a very marked and very audible transition from his days as a producer in montreal to becoming a part of the berlin scene. and what we have here is one result of that very explicit sonic metamorphosis. de la planet is our dyslexic subject s third studio album, one that stays true to his ethos of weird above all in the best possible sense. and yet it feels like something distinctly new. tapping his enormous reservoir of vinyl and sampling the odd film have acted as complement to the jaw-dropping arsenal of synthesizers at de la plante s disposal—a battery of machines he s been quietly improving his skills on during the past few years. or not so quietly, perhaps. the man himself would probably say -i m coming out of the woodshed-, and go off on a tangent about sonny rollins and his saint of a wife. but that s a story for another sheet.

music collective, concept and podcast series osloground sets out on their first flight as a label, starting out with their own a:g and his fittingly named metamorphosis ep. where two different parts of the journey s title deliver floating and mindlifting atmospheres built on a firm layer of broken beats and sub vibrations, and the flipside delivers more of a dub inspired minimal house groover with footfeeding bass and juno sweeps for those 5am moments, this ep is made with love for the dancefloor in mind.

massive 11-piece latin american afrobeat combo nelda piña y la boa have been exploring the vast rhythms of west african music and its many branches within their home base country of colombia for the last 3 years. influenced by the contrasting sounds and traditions of colombia s disparate atlantic & pacific coast cultures, they bring a unique twist to the familiar afrobeat lineup that is accentuated by their cantadora nelda piña, a singer from the bolivar region who was born in the 1940s. once again, colombia and its deep reservoir of modern and traditional musicians prove the awesome alchemy of melding the sounds and aesthetics of old and young generations.

the new metronomy album, love letters, has a title that speaks volumes about sensations and modes of communication, about things that have always been there, and will always be here. its no coincidence either. this is a record that wants to be timeless. in its execution, love letters tries to do fresh things in an old-fashioned way. it takes richer methods of recording and injects them with the shock of the new of tight electronics, and experiments in sound. it does so not to be retro, but to embrace the quality standards of the past. it also aims to be up there with the greats, reaching for those old stars.

grasscuts debut >1 inch: 1/2 mile< was named electronica album of the month in mojo magazine and was one of the sunday telegraphs top 10 pop cds of 2010. if that album featured a mix of songcraft and electronica, follow-up unearth tips the balance towards songs. its a more vocal record and both the legendary robert wyatt and gazelle twin contribute – alongside main vocals from grasscut composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist andrew phillips. unearth proves once again that phillips is a songwriter of note, truly traversing any notion of genre with seeming ease and considerable depth. grasscuts marcus o dair features on double bass, seb rochford of polar bear guests on drums.

shawn osullivan of up and coming new york new wave bands led er est and further reductions, brings us the latest release on wt. the easiest description would be drop bass network meets berghain dub techno meets the new sound of amsterdam with a little bit of acid and industrial sprinkled in, but you should listen to the clips yourself to decide. shawn takes synths, drummachines, a sequencer and some effects and records one take on a stereo track. this leaves room for wild mistakes, personal moments, and blown out sound. its a classic techno sound that sounds like it should have been done before, but hasnt.

next moody sweetshop monster. raw and dubby techno made by north lake.

downwards sidestep expectations again with this glorious limited 10inch vinyl release from tropic of cancer. two beautifully dark compositions that remind slightly of angelo badalamenti in >twin peaks< mode, or maybe reservoir dogs, if it had been filmed with a huge cavern as the soundstage. processed guitar and drones wash swampily over a simple drumbox beat, as eerie snatches of melody float in and out. as badalamenti himself said of his own work, >my (musical) world is a little bit dark... a little bit off-center. i think of it as tragically beautiful. that is how i would describe what i love best: tragically beautiful.< seems to sum this release up quite nicely too...

2011 mercury nominated band!new album <love letters< feat. >im aquarius< & >love letters<! deluxe digipack edition!

from the word go, >its all true< has a spring in its step as opening track >itchy fingers< features lofty bpms in a range never explored on record by the group before and then, just as suddenly, the band shift gears to the sparse, brooding >playtime<. from the confident stomp of >you ll improve me< and the sophisticated pop of >a truly happy ending< to the epic album closer of >banana ripple<, >its all true< is by far the junior boys most accomplished album to date.

15 track european collection includes -22 twos-, -dead presidents ii-, -ride or die-, -friend or foe 98-, plus collaborations with foxy brown, notorious b.i.g., gwen dickey and more...
