sian & axel bartsch remixes to gui boratto s >tales from the lab< (dfrg 23)

earlier support comes from ewan pearson, funk d void, satoshi tomi, tiger stripes, troy pierce, laurent garnier, danny howells and many more.. the tenth release from aus music is a tasty little bomb from sian to kick off the new year. graham goodwin aka sian is a dublin native raised gypsy style in southern spain. he released two albums and many singles on labels as diverse as pokerflat, dessous, karmarouge, dirtcrew and einmaleins. wear your scars like medals - has a very different vibe to sians first outing on aus, his lush, melodic >apple tree<. >wear your scars< is an all together darker, more brooding affair. with no bass line to speak of and sirens and toms carrying the majority of the melody this can be classed as a truly tribal excursion. roland appel remix - taking the pitch of sians sirens as the melodic starting point roland builds a hypnotic deep techno track that is reminiscent of early planet e releases.

the master of simplicity is back on with his second release on karmarouge. the story behind the titel goes like this. saint patrick was a christian missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of ireland. he banished the snakes from ireland and some irish people say that human snakes replaced them. sian asks himself if we might need a new modern saint patrick? the a-side track >stegosaurus< is a creepy, slow builder and melodic track, somewhat like a placid dinosaur. >merman< on the b-side is a more melancholic, angelic theme with hidden melodic patterns and messages. born in dublin ireland, raised gypsy style in southern spain, sian, aka graham goodwin has worked in music since the age of 17. now 28, he has produced and released electronic music consistently and has worked with diverse artists during this period. his productions are arty, unique and childlike simple, he works with sounds as blocks of bright colour and makes music for both the club and mind simultaniously. sian believes that electronic music is more than just an interesting theory, it shapes lives and his dj sets are well known for sweat, eclecticism and positive energy

the criminals welcome alexander maier to their roster with his stunning track >ino<, which comes with a equally strong remix by sian (pokerflat, dessous) on the b-side! alexander maier aka dj all*star has previously released on exun records and has remixed artists like phonique, kris menace, etc. and is also part of kleinkariert. his releases are supported by carl craig, david duriez, fafa monteco, phonique to name only a few.alexander maier returns on criminal with a stunning, a little bit trance influenced, track with beautiful harmonies and melodies. a throbbing, undefined and sexy bassmelody accompanies the beautiful pads throughout the journey. we know it s not the typical criminal sound you are used to, but we had to get our hands on this track as it is simply wonderful! and since we are releasing an ep by sian next year, we thought it d be a nice introduction to criminal to have sian remix >ino<. his remix catches a similar vibe to the original, but features more progressive synths and sounds. but hey… have a listen yourself and you ll understand what we re talking about!

‘zibaldone i of cvx’ is the first in a series of releases from rupert clervaux (sian alice group, recent collaborations with beatrice dillon, spring heel jack, treader records...) which take their name from the title of italian poet giacomo leopardi’s extensive notebooks. they are collections of sketches, vignettes and musical footnotes to rupert’s ongoing and varied endeavours as a musician, listener, reader and writer. this first piece is in five sections (titles listed below), consisting of three thematic poetry recitals, read by clervaux and others over sweltering ambient arrangements, along with two clattering percussive tracks created using a variety of sounds across the fidelity spectrum and finely sourced, layered samples. the result is a meandering and diverse musical journey which threads together succinct meditations on originality by leopardi and silvina ocampo, and salutary warnings from hölderlin and derek walcott! ‘zibaldone i’ is presented as a 12” with a fold-out poster by belgian artist coline cornélis.

reaching our 100th release seems surreal. i started it with 50 bucks and a defiant attitude to release music i felt wasn’t repped elsewhere. the label has grown into a renegade family, and worldwide techno brand. proud of every single achievement and mistake we have made, we felt it fitting to gather a selection of our favorite artists and showcase our vision on the current state of classic modern techno. here s to another 10000. octopus for life.

finally this great techno label is going black gold. the imprint from los angeles is starting with a best of series called warehouse series and it is what it is: techno - dark, dusty, loud and hard.

since maxime dangles contribution to our head honcho gregor treshers breaking new soil vol. 7 early 2015 we received several fantastic new oevres from the frenchman. it wasnt easy to decide which ones to release but sian (octopus records) gave us a hand and focussed on fokal for his remix! anyway we are proud to release maximes debut ep for break new soil and are curious how you share our taste.

an inconceivable selection of productions fused together into a unique and eclectic release, re-structured reiterates the undeniable fact that john digweed and bedrock records are musical visionaries, responsible for shaping and inspiring the paths of so many artists to date. whether it be focusing on the future, or propelled by the past, john digweed continues to be one of electronic music s most esteemed djs, producers, and label bosses.

rupert clervaux ist ein musiker, komponist und engineer, der zur zeit mit künstlern wie sian alice group, new build oder alice group arbeitet und dessen credits als mixer für labels wie treader, otoroku, matchless & fataka umfassen. beatrice dillon ist eine komponistin, performancekünstlerin und dj mit compilations auf the trilogy tapes und public information. das album -sudies i-xvii- ist eine sammlung an kurzen, reduzierten und rhythmischen stücken, die mit live-instrumenten, samples von live-instrumenten und computern eingespielt und zu einem intuitiven set zusammengestellt wurden. die kompositionen sind inspiriert von weltmusik, free jazz, bismallah khan, keith hudson, xenakis, reich und pierre schaeffer.

the headless horseman has a very vague memory of when his head was completely dislodged by a cannonball. is he the ghost of an honest hes- sian solider? or simply a mere immortal soul who wants back his prop- erty back and is destined to live in solitude?

but that the cocoon compilation l is all about love, is beyond debate: the love for electronic dance music, for its complexity and its diversity, the love for this global musical language and last not least the enthusiasm for the well-known and the still non-famous protagonists of this tonal romance that faithfully accompanies us through night and day for more than 30 years now.

the good the bad the ugly the evil is a full on and brandnew 4 track ep from our cologne artist roland m. dill. roland has worked here with a stronger live-set up resulting in tracks more organic. developing from within rather than being developed, the tracks seem to have a stronger hypnotic edge to them. according to the titels the track all show diffferents characteristic. starting with the evil this track is not very obvious but works very much by itself, whereas the good is a perfect intermezzo for djs who really build up their sets with a lot of skill. the ugly is a mental track... it has stunts, it screams, it sees no end... this is mandness on the highest level and also the bad is written in this veain.
