great reissue from 1978!

on an unassuming cassette, just labelled ‘robert rental’ in green dymo tape, these demos have lain unheard for years amongst his family’s treasured possessions, cared-for artefacts of a life cut short far too soon.
these songs, which robert recorded in his council flat in battersea in 1980, provide an enticing glimpse into his all-too-infrequent solo work. on most occasions, robert worked with thomas leer, daniel miller or other collaborators. these are rough recordings, tape hiss still in evidence, but his creativity shines through the murk, like uncut diamonds.

robert rental was the stage name of robert donnachie (1952?2000), a british pioneer of post-punk, diy, and industrial music. originally from port glasgow, scotland, he moved to the south of england with thomas leer in the late 1970s where he met glenn michael wallis. glenn was recording music with the group heute and leaving to start his solo projects nkvd and konstruktivists. both were heavily involved with throbbing gristle and the industrial records crew. in the summer of 1979, robert invited glenn to his studio in battersea to jam. robert on guitar and glenn on an edp wasp synthesizer. for each session that summer they would play for about 40 minutes, maybe longer, stoned. robert suggested they record it, many times erasing and over recording one session for the next. the music had no titles, as they were never intended to be released. on these recordings, robert enjoyed playing like robert fripp of king crimson, while glenn channeled wolfgang flur of kraftwerk. influenced by krautrock bands like can, neu!, cluster/harmonia, as well as terry riley and brian eno the duo forged a unqiue brand of industrial music. tape loops and synthesizer sounds played backward conjure dark ambient moods. all songs have been remastered for vinyl by george horn at fantasy studios in berkeley. the lp is housed in a jacket that features a drawing by robert rental from glenn?s archives as well as a handwritten note from robert to glenn. each copy includes 2 photo postcards featuring a transcription of robert?s letter and liner notes from glenn wallis.

melting grooves by berlin based huerta

the legendary n.w.a. debut from 1988 back on 180 gram vinyl with download code included.

marvis dee opens the newly varnished in the my dreams imprint with a boogie-led 5-track ep of late-night 80s house and slow groove-soaked beats. drawing from the magical influence of the conga-a-plenty tr-727 drum machine along with stomach rumbling basses and glistening synth romanticism conjured from the same machine. sailing over alpha moon is the first in a 3 ep series exploring these ideas, machines and the nostalgic attachment to things we have once experienced but may not remember. trapped solely in the memories of others, but returning in our dreams.

there is a common thread that runs through all of brandt brauer fricks music. it is this: interesting things happen at the interface of machine and hand-made music. the berlin trios 2010 album, *you make me real*, fused techno and classical. the 2011 follow-up, *mr machine*, saw them go the whole classical-meets-club hog with a ten-piece ensemble playing dance music live. then, earlier this year, came *miami*, a darker, more song-based collection exploring the same man-machine ideas. the berlin trios instalment of the dj-kicks series does the same thing with a mix.
the double vinyl comes in gatefold sleeve and includes the dj kicks mix-cd.

first release of the alchemy elements series which features works from the alchemy crew. this debut release includes brand new tracks by riccardo ferri, gabry fasano, athos, mauro picotto and alex dionysi. stay tuned for more alchemy elements releases coming in the near future!

das label affine samt seinem aushaengeschild, dem microkorg-wunderkind dorian concept, ist eine der positivsten erscheinungen des vergangenen jahres in der oesterreichischen musiklandschaft. nicht nur kenner der heimischen szene, sondern auch groe§en wie gilles peterson lassen sich vor verzueckung zu wahren lobesreden hinrei§en, und das, obwohl die ep -twice upon two times- erst der zweite offizielle release des plattenlabels ist. bei jsbl trifft groovender jazz-rock mit progressiver verspieltheit auf knackige keyboard-synthie-lines, produktionstechnische sicherheit und viel liebe zum musikalischen detail.
