alex cortex >unshell< is the follow up to his acclaimed >i wont conform< (pom22) and the foretaste for his upcoming album which is going to be released on pomelo this coming fall.
>unshell< features 4 modern dancefloor tracks in best cortex style, characterized by tight rhythmic structures and a unique and irrestistible hypnotic power.
from deep stumbling house grooves with piano stabs and a male vocal admiring >your sexy moves< and a chicago jacker with a repetitive voice on the a side, to athmospheric dark techno with warped sound effects and breakbeat house layered with modulating 8-bit sounds on the flip, this record shows once more alex cortex skills to move off the beaten tracks in his very own style.

5x12 inch lp boxset.

following up on his critically acclaimed this day ep, pomrad (be) debuts his full length with on and on records (fra) & jakarta records (ger) worldwide this summer. pomrad a.k.a. adriaan van de velde has lots of funk in his colorful trickster bag. just check out the title track knights of his album: its beats chug like the wheels of a locomotive and electrifying synth solos guarantee the best brain freeze you’ve ever felt. he could be your favorites producer, favorite producer with lefto & mr. carmack among his fans. his debut album knights, a collection of razor sharp keyboard licks, phat electro grooves and thick funk, following up on his ep release, which received radio support from mistajam (bbc radio1), alex nut (rinse fm) & lefto (studio brussels).

transmitting from their mist-filled, strobe-lit lair, group niob join the ranks of pomelo with an ep of pure-bred, cavernous underground techno. founded by prolific cheap records alumni and long-standing pomelo contributor gerhard potuznik (aka g.d.luxxe, gdx, pin-ups in exile) and his hardware-obsessed partner martin sovinz (aka dibek), group niob follow up their previous releases on their jointly run phlox imprint with two tracks of techno perfection: ‘nue’ starts the ep in high tension mode – grumbling bass lines, endless echoes, and a punishing groove complement the track’s subarctic atmosphere. on the flip side, ‘target’ turns the heat up a notch with a warm, rolling bass, hypnotic chords and dubbed out stabs, dubbed out and acidified by pomelo’s own daniel lodig for his ep-closing remix

the last couple of years have been huge for pomo, going from a relatively obscure canadian producer to releasing his debut ep on hw&w, remixing for the likes of janet jackson and mark ronson, and touring the globe with disclosure as their hand-picked opening act.
bastard jazz has commissioned pomo to be next in line for the fourth volume of their *tempo dreams* compilation albums, following on the heels of the hotly contested soul clap compiled vol. 3. as with other tempo dreams records, we tease it out with a limited 7 inch release with tracks from the compiler made specifically for the tempo dreams album.
*blue soda* (part 1) - pomos first original release since his ep in november of 2014 is a typical, rollicking pomo new disco joint with stabbing synths, chopped vocal samples and an irresistible bassline. part 2 on the flip-side delivers more of the same, with a little more of an introspective twist. part 2 is exclusive to the 7 inch only and wont be on the album.

this highly anticipated double a-side 10inch is the next chapter of matt edwards & joel martin s quiet village story, and sees the duo veer into a world poles apart from their cult social music/change 12inch on phonica white earlier this year which was lauded by the likes of zip, dj harvey & milo.

three slices of lush from russia with love. the original track, described by mixmag as *a cross between phoenix and empire of the sun*, gets heavy treatment from swiss future classic and kitsune&#769,,,,, heroes pharao black magic, who delivers a pounding yet hypnotic, bass-heavy mid-tempo tune. lovemonk darlings space ranger keep it equally hypnotic, but bring back the speed and embed the melancholic vocals in some uplifting, moving yet club-banging sounds.

jonas woehl debuts on get physical music poesie musik with a spectacular new ep, into you, featuring fabian reichelt, and with remixes from konstantin sibold and piemont. featuring vocalist fabian reichelt, into you is a synth chords driven, groove-laden killer.

andres zacco & marco zenker, rosario & munich, argentina vs germany. an old football classic since ever again. in this case here its less about vs or vst, way more about teaming up for a split ep and wiping on another debate between daves place and pompaks knee shirt. while andres is selling knee shirts every summer at rosario citys hotspot el putito del calore, marco could directly move into dave s place as he spent more time there in 2011 then daves couch. must be the schlachthof vibe or simply daves roomate cooking for the boys. simply wonderful mix between bavarian & argentinan carnecerias. the cuts are huge and fat as always. played by everyone instead of nobody. grazie per tutti - esperanza label el records.

after his debut on baby fords trelik imprint, ld nero graces pomelo with profound house rhythms - delivering a perfect record for the hot season. title track be the light features a very catchy hook over deep strings and sparse but effective rhythmic programing, achieving an ethereal summer tune, floating and hypnotic, but grounded in the low end, - effective like a lightning strike in a steamy summer storm. the flip features two extremely stripped down house grooves, reminiscent of mid nineties house á la maurizio, applying subtle changes and transitions for maximum effectiveness on the dancefloor. timeless and classic

again, it comes action packed with a trio of quality remixes: brooklyn crew runaway - affiliated with dfa, rekids and im a cliche - nyc hipsters in flagranti & hot belgium djs/producers sound of stereo.

compost black label #25 is some kind of premiere, because this is the first remix ep in the whole black label series. the protagonist in this one man play is the bavarian jack of all trades christian prommer in a new staging of wagon cookins start to play. in the past prommer has been co staring in classic performances like trÜby trio, fauna flash and voom:voom. right now he is stirring up waves of enthusiasm with his own drumlesson project on sonar collective and his floorshaking tech jazz meets classic house reinterpretation of koops drum rhythm a. but now draw the curtain and experience prommers play going through a real strong development giving each of the three acts a significant and distinctive character. from the slowly building ecstasy in the main mix and the uplifting joy in the piano scene to the sublime floating and jamming in the closing act he convinces in every role. great deep house theatre!

pomrad aka adriaan van de velde ist ein belgischer produzent. sein sound bewegt sich irgendwo zwischen 80er jahre synthesizer funk, analogem trap und 90er jahre hip hop. seine musikalischen fixpunkte reichen von george duke bis hin zu hudson mohawke. analoge wŠrme meets bassgewitter und das live eingespielt, in der liveversion als trio mit mehr als einem dutzend synths auf der bźhne. knights ist sein erstes release auf jakarta records, welches das album zusammen mit on and on records (c2c, 20syl) aus frankreich veršffentlicht. auf knights kondensiert pomrad all seine einflźsse in ein kohŠrentes werk, mit der hilfe einiger gŠste wie beispielsweise selah sue, und schafft dabei etwas besonders: zu klingen wie pomrad, einzigartig und originell.
