brownswood recordings presents the debut album from skinny pelembe.

skinny pelembe corrals together a cast of talented friends for his new ep. it’s his most ambitious release to date, boasting a different group or artist featuring on each of its tracks, each of them an act he’s met through music or through linking with brownswood’s celebrated talent development programme future bubblers two years ago. across its four entries, he bridges hip-hop, psych-rock and jazz-influenced tangents, cutting out a diverse cross-section of the city’s music scene. it’s a document of the connections he’s made as an artist, and is the most collaborative project he’s worked on so far. the title of the ep comes from some advice which skinny noted to himself on an old notebook. each of its songs started as a rough idea which was then fleshed out and re-imagined with his collaborators.

having recently signed to brownswood recordings, announced via new track ‘i’ll be on your mind’, skinny pelembe’s first single proper for the london imprint, ‘spit / swallow’ spans pastoral pop, psychedelic textures and hip-hop-tipped, chopped and spliced guitar, interlacings samples with rolling drum breaks and echoed falsettos. b-side ‘toy shooter’ follows in similar fashion, bridging psych-rock exaltation with beat-head, synth-jamming production.

zweites soloalbum des drummers tom skinner (sons of kemet, owiny sigoma band), das er live zusammen mit dem posaunisten peter zummo (einem weggefährten des legendären arthur russell mit jüngsten releases auf optimo) aufnahm. die acht tracks auf -watermelon sun- sind warme und soulful freeform-live-improvisationen mit einflüssen aus uk-jazz, new jersey-house und chicago-footwork.

turbo recordings is proud to present a release a full year in the making. a&rÆd by turbo elder thomas von party, gender embodies the adventurous spirit of his own multi culti label, and marks a return to the kind of mega remix pack we used to make when the world was young and an alternate dub rework was all you needed to get by. germanys skinnerbox sets the template with a high-speed jungle rave banger, which is an accurate enough description but not something we would expect you to ever repeat out loud. the 12-inch also features versions by swedish nice guy axel boman, who missed the submission deadline by 13 minutes but still managed to turn in a 12-minute epic jam, and glasgows auntie flo, who somehow harnessed the siren song of the iphone with a marimba-heavy mix.

two years we ve had to wait for the second in skinnerbox s edits series on silicone soul s darkroom dubs, but as the saying goes... all good things... delicate and respectful edits from the duo, that see these two classic tracks expertly tailored for the dancefloor.

after taking a short break house of disco records are back with a purpose. not content with the adding to the plethora of disco edit labels representing the genre they have opted to walk a more distinct path, determined to lean on originals or clever sampling as opposed to outright re-rubs. in this their twelfth release they recruit previous label-mate harry wolfman and compadre skinny love to provide three stunning dancefloor ready originals. the duo have certainly delivered on the brief and turned in three diverse and clever takes on what a modern disco track with a house soul can represent. on remix duties they have recruited a promising young producer kickflip mike, who has released on box aus holz as joschka seibt and paired him with experienced disco merchant the revenge who is responsible for some of the best remixes we know of, and he doesnt disappoint here with either remix.

a new edits series from darkroom dubs sees skinnerbox kick proceedings off. strictly vinyl only!

this is skinnerboxs first release on treat your dj right. on love songs for the broken arpeggiator ep, the two berliners olaf hilgenfeld and iftah gabbai celebrate their own vision of modern dancefloor music in four epic tracks. all music is based on the beat while the sound ranges from acid fragments – over hypnotic, extensively melodies to yet modern club beat.

busking really is next-level in berlin, with the acoustic guitar replaced by the laptop, drum machine and minimoog, all powered by a car battery. it was this thrown together setup that first introduced the world to skinnerbox as iftah gabbai and olaf hilgenfeld took their leftfield, jazzy attitude and improvised genre-bridging music to the streets of berlin for impromptu jam sessions. it wasnt long before skinnerbox were rocking the floors of ritter butzke and wilde renate and getting their music pressed to the black gold was surely the next step...

an absolutely stunning album. its like an electronic emotional version of people like fink or piers faccini. this album is simply superb. vitall laurent garnier, very smooth, lush and deep. excellent, really! michael mayer, after nicolas jaar and pantha du prince, lee burton has brought the romance back into electronic music. a powerful album. raveline: a wonderful album with sophisticated arrangements, which turns out to be a little gem of melancholy and attract not only fans of smart elektronikexkurse, but also connoisseurs of elegant, unique and timeless pop music.partysan.net “une pop avant-gardiste et douce a decouvrir” sciences et avenir.thats part of the reviews lee burton received within the last three months from the press around the globe for his latest album release busy days for fools on klik records. being really ingenious lee burton managed to create a unique output that combines the sound of the german electronica with the greek temperament and the south american laid back feeling.busy days for fools is the stoner side of electronica. on july the 16th klik records present on a limited edition vinyl, pt. 01 of the remix series on original lee burton tracks from the likes of skinnerbox, mr statik, scsi -9 and finally on vinyl, nhars firelfy remix that reached on youtube more than 1.000.000 views so far

for well roundeds 11th release bristols skinnz drops a trio of infectious and melodic creations that share a kinship with todays garage and funky house sounds whilst standing apart due to their unique character. you may know sam from his other alias baobinga. he is man who commands much respect for his collaborations with people from a wide variety of musical backgrounds and his ability to channel his influences in an unforced and colourful way.
on the skinnz releases so far he has experimented with more garage influenced beats, while retaining his trademark focus on percussive momentum. however these tracks often flow freely across boundaries and genre limits encouraged to evolve in any direction that creates excitement. previous skinnz releases have already appeared on pinchs earwax label and boka records whilst his debut outing was on one of the first compilations of music that might be termed dubstep – the classic >our sound< album on destructive.

if yo like laurent garniers the sound of the big babou you will like this. elsewhere audiovisual independent art platform announce the 2nd issue of their 12 inch series (limited to 333 hand numbered copies) called >tv pet<. title and cover artwork originate from a congruent art performance of elle p.

skinnerboxes first bpitch 12 inch >anapol< is the culmination of about seven years of performing experience. iftah gabbai and olaf hilgenfeld casually juggle colourful house, jazz and funk elements like its their second nature. and the metamorphosis from anarchistic improv chaos to form and structure in no way impinges on the level of energy in their music - in fact, just the opposite is the case, as the newly discovered sense of auditory space in the tracks allows them to significantly concentrate each tracks power.

limited to 500 copies worldwide.bristol based skinnz unleashes his debut solo release after more than 5 years in the game! his productions date back to an appearance on a destructive recordings compilation back in 2005 alongside the likes of skream, toastyboy, distance and vexd. more recently his collabs with i.d have seen releases on labels such as pinchs earwax and double science. >keep it gutta< features soaring synthetic soul chords, like jokers >purple wow< sound with aggro elements sublimated into a crisp urban elegance. >euphorbia< strays into martyn/joy orbison territory, its fizzing drone chords and soul vocal samples compressed around a bassier but grime-inclined beat to breathless effect! currently receiving heavy radio1 / 1xtra support from mistajam and ras kwame, along with mary anne hobbs, pinch, mensah, i.d, baobinga, akira kiteshi, jayglo & more!

the skinnerbox disco jazz opus >king of spades and marmalades< (album mmxa0903lp) has not even been digested properly û yet these electronic nerds have hurled into work again. first, an own branded synthesizer for abletons collaboration software max4live was developed, and now a new maxi is ready to be out.

limited 500 whitehorst copies - vinyl only.

>minimal is cool but in the long term a bit too unsexy!< this statement of marcel knopf that is by now quite old, shows his heart does not beat for one genre after all. after the first and more technoid single release from his album >dusty dance< monsieur knopf satisfies his longing for real house with single no.2 >crazy about<. r&b singer camaras soulful voice leaves quite an impression on this powerful beat. in >skinny bitches< marcel knopf processes insane nights: you just want to drink a beer in your favourite pub but then you meet a couple of friends and they take you to the worst disco in town. this high-energy track is uncompromising and must be played during peak time and not during warm-up sets or after-hours.

the particular view on a musical future might have been considerably different when olaf hilgenfeld (berlin) met iftah gabbai (jerusalem) for first sessions in 2004. the piano player hilgenfeld used the accordion that time mainly, whilst gabbai was using all instruments available, a computer was among those more by chance. only one year later the duo skinnerbox played regularly on such uplifting, innovative off-partys that came up in the new techno generation again.
that was just the beginning. skinnerbox have developed a purely electronically composed and performed music (partly featuring vocals by elle_p) – that is not based on loops but improvised techno inspired house and minimal house. the roles in the duo are clearly settled: olaf hilgenfeld – moog synthesizer, iftah gabbai – hardware drum machines, max/msp und ableton live.
all these distinct impacts and effects can be heard on their various releases from the last two years, but far better in their live sets. skinnerbox are an experience, taking you on expedition with paralyzing minimal, breaking house, hard-edged techno-jazz, and ambient electronica futurism.
it was a desire to eternalize this play- & colorful diversity, often just caused by the moment, as entire homogeneity. thus, they needed to leave temporarily their environmental techno and minimal house scapes. >king of spades and marmalades< – the result – is a jazz opus wrapped into a disco suitcase. it is a reminiscence as well as going far ahead of daily musical habits, shown not at least by the order of tracks, do not starting with a stunning hit of the album, but with 20 minutes of challenge.

catchy minimal.. jatoa002 is the second release from the danish label jatounit. binar sendentar is a mellow straight forward track smothered in glitches and industrial mishaps. accompanied by a female voice - a constant reminder that it is all numbers. beautiful staircase is an orgy of pretzel popping, toy car bashing and wrench crashing glitchy pads. accompanied by harmonica stabs. suddenly a trancy pad surrounds you and lifts you up and literately drops you in a hole of obscurity and insane analog bastardism.

naked cowboys is a groovy soothing hypno-groove. surrounded by naive swing sets and dreamy ambient pads. building up to an almost mystical level that carries the listener through total ecstasy. the b-side of this production is occupied by swedish pioneer producer patrik skoog aka. agaric... 2009 re-release

supported by mia, ada, krause duo, ruede hagelstein, jake the rapper, daniel dreier, gianni vitiello. their latest works came out from sessions they did together with mademoiselle elle p (musician and singer from berlin). the tracks they recorded do not remind being mostly improvised. they all breathe a vivid groovieness, are full of musical experiences flavored with vocal lines and snippets. >tricks< on side a presents perfectly the deep sub-bass driven minimal techhouse being popular in 2008. >turteltaube< and >anja< on side b play cheeky with our todays techno behavior, but do not lose musical deepness. they are funky and playful, yet always under control to keep on minimizing

skinnerbox, thats also two gentelmen, one of them immigrated from a far away country and both living in berlin now. in their boxes theres no devil but there are grandpas old synths, funnily and heavily beeping and bumping beats and basses, joy and fun as in godizllas playroom. and then comes mister humantronic, his remixs, finest tech that will wake up the beast even where no beast was ever before. a record to love and to pamper!
