experimental electro sounds

cover with a slightly kink in the corner - the/das ist ein aus der formation bodi bill hervorgegangenes musikprojekt von fabian fenk (gesang) und philipp koller (elektronik, mix), das 2012 in berlin gegr³ndet wurde. der bandname soll eine neutrale bedeutung haben und in keine bestimmte richtung verweisen. ihren sound nennen die beiden techno tenderness, was in etwa chilliger afterhour-musik bzw. new romantic house entspricht. diesen fanden die geneigten h÷rer auf bislang ³ber einer handvoll ver÷ffentlichungen, darunter der lp -freezer- von 2014. dessen innig ersehnter nachfolger erscheint auf dem italienischen, von dj tennis gef³hrten label life and death. wõhrend bei fr³heren releases eher der homelistening-aspekt betont wurde, gibt das produzenten-duo auf -exit strategies- verstõrkt clubfreundliche seiten von sich preis. daf³r vermengen die zwei ziemlich geschickt, geschmackssicher und facettenreich urspr³nglichen techno berliner prõgung und organische soundschleifen miteinander und w³rzen das ganze mit verspielten kinematografischen details. ein aufwõndiges verfahren, dessen umsetzung von losen skizzen ³ber die ersten arrangements und immer wieder neuen ?berarbeitungen bis zum finalen mix im studio rund drei jahre dauerte.

new york endless is the first appearance on vinyl of new jersey born new yorker dan selzer. you may not have heard of him, but many of your favourite producers, bands and djs massively respect his record collection and ear. many of the sounds he has spent years exploring and djing can be heard via the three tracks that make up the strategies ep. elements of techno and house, idm, italo-disco and new wave, cosmic and kosmiche, krautrock and a certain debt to the new york school of minimalist composers all appear. the music is pure and (mostly) analog while still centred around accessible melodies and clean synthesized tones. golf channel every time!

infine celebrates with its xviith black chrome release the advent of the town and its >new innerstate strategies<, packages douglas best deep, house and techno beats and features the voice of 2009 springs awakening! the >tofu on ice edit<, a-side of the 12 inch, synthesizes german deep-house sound at its best. led by percussive beats, the voice of delhia reaches the heights of the stomping pleasures without losing the refinement of the original version. on the b-side, >sapphire< is a track which fully deserves its name. as hard on the dancefloors as the peak time should sound like. as blue as an unleashed sea, where dizzying waves break into bubbling beats, spreading the most compelling techno foam.

oblique strategies are matthew syles and pier bucci

molten moods releases another finely curated various artists record with tracks by skee mask, kessel vale, jonas yamer and konrad wehrmeister. kessel vales opening track -voguing geisha- is an unconventional breakbeat masterpiece following his sense of harmony and rhythm already shown through previous releases on tanstaafl records and rhythm nation. as the track unfolds it reveals musical storytelling by integrating a technoid polyrhythmic loop structure into melodic synth figures, slowly deconstructing in the end. skee mask collaborated with molten moods labelhead and carl gari member jonas yamer on -fanta ocean-, it being the first release ever outside of his ilian tape homebase. the outcome is a moody idm piece with cinematic qualities, complex but soothing. the b-side begins with -xenomorph- by konrad wehrmeister, who is known by his releases on public possession and svs records. this trancy yet distorted and detailed electro banger surely takes on the role of the records dancefloor highlight. the closing track -insgeheim- is delivered by molten moods head honcho jonas yamer. here groovy kicks, distorted chords and a psychedelic pad are woven into one compelling 10 am techno track. the common thread of molten moods 4 is four young munich artists going on a joint trip into idiosyncratic electronic music. the resulting tracks intertwine as one modern and diverse techno record. out on 12&#8243,, vinyl and wav by the end of march 2018. in the tradition of molten moods cost-conscious design strategies by paul bernhard, the record comes with a xeroxed low budget sticker set. mastered by manmade.

this time, germination, his first solo ep, is purely musical work composed of organic, visceral, living sounds, both fragile and mighty. the electronic music is free of constraints imposed by the dedicated instruments. embodied by large dynamic ranges and a constantly moving temporality, germination tells an evolving process, in full bloom, with its share of mutations and strange directions. germination is composed of four tracks, including one remix by roly porter. in the same vein as alex augier, the cofounder of subtext recordings explores the boundaries of experimental music, both electronically and instrumentall

take care out there, roy of the ravers is back with another round of boisterous hardware hack-outs on acid waxa. you can tell he means business on opening track -supremacy royale-, a fast and mean-tempered slice of bleepy techno with brains to match its brawn. -ambergris 9- is a more playful jam with wonderfully dated melodic lines lifted from the pantheon of bbc library music, and then -time 2 jack- spins off into strange, abrasive realms of experimental acid. the epic -en trance 10- wheels its way through more than 15 minutes on the b-side, employing trancey bassline strategies to keep your brain locked on course for the full trip.

eine der -oblique strategies- von brian eno lautet: -wiederholung ist eine art des wandels.- seth haley kennt sich mit diesem konzept nur allzu gut aus und seine version des vielfarbigen synth-wave nimmt dieses mantra als herausforderung.

p-balans is a new imprint in the future nuggets emerging constellation. a tehnodelia ramification within the bucharest electronic scene that will host rising names like khidja and borusiade while introducing new characters like the holy fix (camil dumitrescu, co-member of delusion men) and utopus (ion d, producer of steaua de mare, raze de soare, anahore?ii among others) already featured on -sounds on the unheard from romania vol. 2-. keeping the same strategies of fusion and diffusion as future nuggets, p-balans will explore the space traversal to techno, entering and exiting the dark halls of the club through multiple doors

kris- & konflikthantering is swedish for crises and conflict management, as well as a course at university guiding you how to manage scenarios involving crises and strategies in handling conflicts. this album was put together while harald was taking this course. this album was made during semi-unconscious conditions and is an emotional transcription of experiences to the language of sequences and frequencies. the soundscape is a warm fuzzy travel from krauty basslines, vocal fragments and mantras through echoes and reverberating tunnels with shimmering arpeggios, field recordings and programed patterns in ancient japanese roland techniques. all recorded on the studer b67 master tape recorder, the heart of the kranglan broadcast studio.

tokyo touch down: ovum welcomes one of japans most consistent techno producers in recent years ryogo yamamori. the man behind the well-respected 951 imprint and a dj schedule that frequently sees him demonstrating dark strategies from korea to canada, ryogo makes his ovum debut with a tight tech triptych

nice price deal !!! black patterns vol. 1 is the full-length album release by lobster theremin regular snow bone, revealing a more spectrally destructive and experimental side through his black patterns moniker. the lp is a depositary for plaque-coated material culled from a series of experiments with his own ‘oblique strategies’ style limitations or ‘tasks’. this conceptually translates into eight raw-to-the-bone styles of techno, house, noise and electro, segueing through layers of blown-out sounds and scattered intricacies along the way.

ambivalent adapts the raw hardware strategies of his la-4a alias into peak-time analog techno. truncate is on remix duty and delivers one of his power techno productions to top the release off. nice going for this fresh new label!

after a 12 inch for the souterrain transmissions label and a split lp with ducktails on no fun productions, dracula lewis delivers his long-awaited debut full length u$e your illu$ion$, a title which evokes an imaginary deviant glamour which is synonymous with the teasing nature and sense of mystery which is a part of dracula lewis world. working with an abundance of pop based ideas with an abstract mentality, the record brings to mind, in manner and tone, hallucinatory avant strategies that were typical of the second wave of industrial.

xerrox vol. 2 undertakes an intense journey and affords the luxury to take its time. &#8233,,while xerrox vol. 1 (r-n 78) referred to the old world with its tradition deeply rooted in classical music, xerrox vol. 2 tries to access a new world . it works with samples that have been gathered and developed in the usa û the so-called new world û where the album also has almost completely been recorded.&#8233,,the dramatic and dynamic approach of xerrox vol. 1 on vol. 2 has been replaced by a structural density. instead of working with individual musical entities the new album rather develops an overall, linear aesthetic that refers to musical strategies of film music. hence there are no implicitly singular pieces, but open musical structures û a journey without a predetermined target.

phantasma volume 2 by dinky, matthew styles and pier bucci is out now. this lovingly designed record is produced by three artists we really like and and it is just grea they decided to work with us again. matthew is damn sure one of our favourite producers and pier s skills are nothing short of his. on the last release we made with them, they d worked together as oblique strategies on balld inc. for phantasma volume 2 pier wrote a track on his own, highlighting the noble beats he is known for and expanding the explicit cadenced patterns with a chord phrase that leads the structure to perfection. dinky whose work was released on such labels as cocoon, traum, vakant and of course on her own imprint horizontal composed the other side together with matthew and you can sense their familiarity at once. the two arranged >choises< carefully, sleek and free of any kind of hubris. well, this attitude is hart to find these days and their versed piece may calm your stressed out ears both in the club and at home

support from efdemin, loco dice, sebo k, shinedoe, dave dk, agnes, d julz, serafin, ame, ben watt, ray okpara, sasse, luke solomon, peace division & ashley beedle, among others... anonym is the one who is anonymous. his music, however, is anything but anonymous. hailing from the mecca otherwise known as detroit and with releases on his very own anonymous releases and on sushitech, anonym embraces in his music the ways of future past of the motor citys unique techno scene. anonyms new release arrives exactly when detroit techno is again paving the way to the future by transforming the now: post minimal strategies and a desire to find its own place in the tradition, make the music signed by anonym a strong creative statement, something that could only be cooked by a detroit native, but that resonates all over the world. for remix duties, we asked our good friend patrice baumel to take it amsterdam style. detroit techno has a strong hold on amsterdams music makers but the natives of the city of the best coffee shops in the world have also always shed a different light on their own productions. patrice is a perfect example of this: his originality and fierce work ethic has gained him a place in get physical and trapez. we were hoping for something special from patrice and he definitely delivered, taking shanghai express in a completely new direction, making it something else, but also his personal tribute to the city of cosmic cars and vital underground resistance

bryan zentz (aka barada, faculty x, bryan never) is known as the professor amongst the intec posse, a thoughtful individual who takes an intelligent approach to his music. bryan first made his name in electronic music as barada (the name was taken from a star wars character) on richie hawtin and john acquaviva s legendary definitive label with now classic releases such as >medicine drum< and >glue<. after a string of singles on labels like experimental, bush and clashbackk among others, the time came for a full length barada album >strategies for a deeper design< released through definitive and virgin canada. and it was that rare thing, a house album that told a story

the well-respected hydergine run ranges label adds a talented phenom to its roster. san francisco dub techno artist federsen, has been making waves in the scene for over a decade now. with releases on greyscale, silent season, zeecc, and even back on thinner in 2009 among others, federsen continues to find himself on labels that can properly advocate his sound. highly influenced by the dub style recording craftsmanship and in an ultra-competitive genre, we at ranges feel that this is one to be heard that evolves the genre even further.>magnetosphere< focuses are wide-ranging on this release. from traditional inspired rhythms like in >relic< and the dub chord roots of >anyplace<, to the spatialness of >euradyce< & >vco<. the seriousness picks up a notch for the techier heads in the wicked sounds of >siricco<. we feel one of the key appeals to federsens sound on this full length is the ability for sounds to evolve organically while others dip, swell and flourish giving the tracks a great live allure. the combination of those strategies make the experience come alive for listeners. the deepness is on full display in epic tracks like the immersive >magnetic< & >l infinito<. there is certainly enough for the deep house fans in this output as well. >forms< & >cerulean< give off house elements while still firmly places itself in the dub techno sphere. we are sure you will love this release and we are very proud to bring it to you! federsen is in top form here on this long player. check it out! written and produced by chris kelly mastering: subosc studio writeup: tim humphrey

the yearly summit of keiji haino, jim o rourke and oren ambarchi continues with imikuzushi, which finds the group extending the power-trio strategies of last years highly praised in a flash everything comes together as one there is no need for a subject (bt05) and bringing to them a newly sustained intensity. for this performance, haino limits himself to electric guitar and vocals, forming complex networks of slashing rhythm work, noise squall and chromatic shredding, moving at times to near-silent passages of howled vocals and isolated, hanging guitar strums. the tendency towards driving free-rock which surfaced on moments of the trios last release is cemented here, with o rourkes fuzzed-out, non-linear bass riffing moving the music into almost garage-rock areas, combining with ambarchis drums to form a bedrock of hypnotic, metronomic pounding which transforms itself effortlessly into passages of flowing free-time. like all of hainos best work, the trio transcends any rock genre exercise to enter a non-idiomatic zone of ritual intensity, creating a music formed purely out of instrumental and group-mind possibility. presented as four unedited excerpts salvaged from an epic show that lasted well over three hours, the sometimes raw nature of the recording only adds to its directness and harshly emotive quality. francis plagne, melbourne, nov, 2011 released as a 6 panel digipak cd and as a limited edition double lp in a lavish gatefold with printed inner sleeves. design by stephen o malley with high quality live shots by ujin matsuo and stunning images by tokyo based photographer and sound artist shunichiro okad
