Minimal Wave is pleased to announce a second release by Belgian favorites Linear Movement.
The collection entitled 'The Linear Way' marks our 59th release on Minimal Wave and continues our celebration of 10 years as a label. The album is a collection of warm melodic electronic pop songs that have for the most part remained unreleased until now. Linear Movement is Belgian mastermind Peter Bonne (A Split-Second, Twilight Ritual, Autumn) joined by Peter Koutstaal, and Lieve Van Steerteghem contributing vocals on the final track. The songs 'The Linear Way' and 'Don't Try To Trick Me' appeared on the exquisite Pulse Music cassette (released by the Micrart Group in 1983) while the rest were never officially released. Our last collection of Linear Movement material entitled On the Screen came out in 2008 and is now long sold out. We're very excited to present this special archival album and finally make these tracks available. The Linear Way LP will be presented in a heavy quality full color printed sleeve, pressed as a limited edition of 999 copies on 180 gram pink vinyl, and released in mid-October. Digital release to follow. Vinyl pre-order now available, here.

Versatile Ep by Worgull featuring Osunlade / Frank Wiedemann from Âme and Peter Pardeike. Well produced modern house tracks from the Innervisions...

Deep slowly building modern house tracks with the typical Innervisions sound, produced by Marcus Worgull and Peter Pardeike.

Marcus Worgull and Peter Pardeike collaboration on Innervisions resulting in the two tracker Trivia and Oona.

New outing on the Innervisions label with what seems to become their trademark sound of well produced clean dreamy house tracks with vocals.

Three smooth house cuts by Rancido on Innervisions.

Primitives is the spacious and bugged-out sequel to Things You Left Behind. Careful restraint remains, but the sober crispiness of the EP is subsumed on Primitives by loose and moody rhythms, wood and metal, weird noises in wet caves and other goodies for ground-dwellers and mole people alike.

Bilbao's greatest DJ team and heads of the Vocoder Club, WLDV (We Love Dolce Vita) hit hard with their debut EP for Giallo Disco, From Total Low Motion Action to Sinister Splat-alo Pounders, this is music for your over pressurised space suit as you float further from the ship. With nods to Horror Greats from Fidenco to Frizzi, WLDV is complimented from a remix by the uber-talented Berlin feline Lazercat, who takes Blue Thunder to underwater Drexciyan territory. Mastered by Alek Stark, Art by Eric Lee, prepare for Cosmosis.

Der in Seattle wohnhafte Produzent und Songwriter Benoît Pioulard aka Thomas Meluch ist in der Shoegazeund Electronica-Szene heimisch. Seit über zehn Jahren zieht er dort seine Kreise und versteht es dabei, eindrucksvoll mit leisen Tönen und einer Vielzahl an Veröffentlichungen größere Aufmerksamkeit zu generieren. Nachdem Meloch vor kurzem mit "Sonnet" beim Portland-Label Kranky sein fünftes Album
herausbrachte, erscheint nun bei Morr die 12'' "Noyaux". Das gelb kolorierte, auf 500 Exemplare limitierte Vinyl enthält vier schimmernd-verwaschene, Loop-basierte Ambient-Tracks. "Noyaux" ist nicht die erste Arbeit für Morr. Gemeinsam mit Rafael Anton Irisarri aka The Sight Below hat Meluch unter dem Namen Orcas bereits zwei introvertierte Ambient-Pop-Alben beim Berliner Label veröffentlicht. Was all diese Produktionen verbindet: sie bringen Melancholie aufs Schönste zum Klingen. Der Winter kann kommen.

Im mannigfaltigen Kanon der KOMPAKT-Künstler hat sich TERRANOVA schnell als eigenständige Stimme etabliert - auch wortwörtlich, wie ein schneller Blick auf die lange Liste an Gastsängern beweist, welche durch HOTEL AMOUR (KOMPAKT 248) gelotst wurden, das letztjährige Album des hochgeschätzten Projekts. Nun zieht Terranova die eigenen Truppen vom langen Atem des Longplayers ab und versammelt sie um den narrativen Fokus einer EP: PAINKILLER, eine hochkonzentrierte Sammlung von Clubsuchtsanfällen und das jüngste Kapitel in Terranovas fortlaufender House-Saga. Fest verwurzelt in der eskapistischen Tradition großer House-Erzähler, unterwandert TERRANOVAs Gebrauch von Gesang nichtsdestotrotz die allgemeine Vorstellung davon, wie ein Genre-Sänger zu klingen hat. Ähnlich virtuos wie HOTEL AMOUR reiht die PAINKILLER EP die charakteristischen Timbres von trainierten wie untrainierten Stimmen aneinander, hier die geschmeidige Indie-Expertise von WHOMADEWHOs Tomas Høffding alias BONHOMME (auf YOU, dem Titeltrack PAINKILLER und ENDLESS SUMMER) und die expressive Weisheit der französischen DJ-Koryphäe JENNIFER CARDINI (auf dem Schlußtrack WUNDERBAR, einem großartig kontraintuitivem Cover von CHRISTIANE F.'s subtextgeschütteltem Klassiker). Textlich wie musikalisch erzählt TERRANOVAs jüngstes Werk eine ambivalente Geschichte von melancholischem Verlust und erwartungsvollen Entdeckungen, ohne dabei jedoch in den seichten Enthusiasmus eines Großraum-Exhibitionisten zu verfallen: eher subtil als melodramatisch verfahren die vier Tracks der EP, zeigen einen tiefen Respekt vor ihrem Erbe und wollen doch die gut abgehangenen House-Tropen umfassend modernisieren, wohl wissend, daß es - wie bei vielen Dingen im Leben - Neugier ist, die die Sucht ausmacht. So kommt es dann auch, daß sich die einfallsreiche Schüttelei und das dreidimensionale Sound-Design der PAINKILLER EP unterstützt sehen von üppigen Wallungen, wie sie eine Amour Fou nicht besser hätte lostreten können, eine heilige Allianz von roher Emotion, einem Hauch von Untergang und dem starken Bedürfnis nach Tanz.

More rough analogue business from Switzerland. Early support from Legowelt

Die Künstler, die das französische Duo Housse De Racket zu ihrem dritten Album inspiriert haben, lesen sich ebenso abwechslungsreich, wie sich die Platte selbst anhört: Fleetwood Mac, Spacemen 3, XTC, Steel Pulse, Alan Vega, Ravel, Laurie Anderson, Miles Davis, Television - keine schlecht Referenzliste. Das Album entstand nach einer Welttour im Apartment des Sängers und Gitarristen Pierre Leroux auf dem Pariser
Montmartre. Die magische und hypnotische Kraft im Viertel um Sacre-Coeur hinterließ unweigerlich Spuren auf "The Tourist", einem Album, das die Band als einen "Geisteszustand", als eine "Reise ohne Bewegung" beschreibt. Während der Titeltrack sowohl Depeche Mode als auch die Beatles zitiert, um sich dann in einen Jetzt-alle-mal-die-Arme-hoch-Rave zu verwandeln, ist "Encore" ein wahrer Stomper, der die Frage stellt:
"What happens when music's over". Na, was wohl Dann macht man die Platte einfach noch mal an. Die LP
erscheint mit Downloadcode.

Agostino Casillo, born in 1985, begins to approach music in the late '90s, influenced by the house sounds that characterize those years. Never shut up in one genre, his desire to experiment led him to deepen the knowledge of all the trends related to electronic music, from 'house to techno, from deep to nu disco. Out of every scheme, his productions are very eclectic. He is currently resident in one of the most innovative party of Neapolitan underground scene, Nice To Be. In 2013 he release his first track ìSickî on Stop Clone Music, in January 2015 his second track ìMy Visionî was released on ìNice To Be Recordsî. Make It Right Ep is an abstract of all is musical background caught up into four great tracks.

Oof records is the home of DJ Oof & music agency Ping pong from Paris representing Ninja Tune since 1998. They signed Lunivers with the hit single "Happy Route" & remixes of Supermen Lovers. Now Aron Ottignon is opening more the spectrum & soon their biggest project called Dance Conscious.
New Zealand-born, Paris-based pianist Aron Ottignon has been steadily expanding his instrumental craft as a jazz pianist - both on
his own and in collaboration with artists such as Stromae and Woodkid. For his latest release, Ottignon sought out the production talents of fellow-antipodean Rodi Kirk, and enlisted UK steel pan and percussion virtuoso Samuel Dubois. The resulting 'Starfish EP is a kaleidoscopic ride through electronically-augmented, percussion-heavy 21st century jazz that also takes musical cues from a variety of non-Western music styles. Preparing to perform the EP in a live context, the challenge for the three musicians lay in recreating the intricacy and sonic detail of the studio recordings while leaving enough room for the energy and improvisation of a great performance. For his part, Rodi Kirk arrived at a solution involving Ableton Push, a Tempest drum machine, a mixing desk, and a custom Max for Live device. Thus, with the electronic elements on equal footing with the piano and percussion, the trio now had ample room to maneuver within Ottignon's dynamic compositions.
Ready to test themselves in front of an audience, for their debut performance Ottignon, Kirk and Dubois set up their instruments at
the historic Funkhaus Berlin for an intimate live recording session, and Ableton's camera crew was on hand to document the whole
performance. Already support by : James Holden, Recloose, Mawimbi, Paris dj's, Doc Daneeka, Ashley Beedle...

Cardopusher appears as if by magic on Super Rhythm Trax to drop four Acid bangers. There are no frills or pretensions here, just jugular acid trax that don't mess around. Straight up, solid and perfect for dark strobe lit basements. This EP channels the rawness with aplomb.

Tel Aviv's Red Axes are back on I'm a Cliché for the second instalment in their ongoing SHEM series. On this EP, four tracks that take different directions to reach the duo's signature sound while expanding the horizons of their already impressive production abilities. 

SHEMA hypnotic track driven by a simple, functional rhythm. Melodies, percussion, and sparse vocals give a distinctively human feel to the track's mechanical vibe. With brilliant use of space and subtle melodic variations, this track is reminiscent both of cosmic music and of timeless film scores in the spirit of Ennio Morricone's work.

OH KEY
Guitars, live percussion, synths and keyboards: this track is a throwback to Red Axes' early sound. With a hazy, slightly narcotic atmosphere thanks to the dance-inducing rhythm section and swirling guitar melodies, this is a fine piece of underwater surf rock whose potential in a club context must not be underestimated. 

SWEET JOHN GANG
If you've ever wondered what's the sound of an agogo rainfall, this is it. On this track where familiar latin percussion sounds are presented in a new light, Red Axes' ability to create playful and catchy melodies layered on an understated groove, heavily treated guitar and frequency oscillating synths is compelling. A psychedelic cut tested and approved on the dance floor by several high profile DJs in the last few months. 

MORE MORE AND MORE
The EP concludes with a track where a syncopated beat lets treated drums as well as slightly fuzzy bass line and synth stabs breathe through the mix. These dark elements contrast with lush pads, naive melodies optimistic chords and otherworldly horns. The result produces a fluid groove and much depth on this highly danceable track that seems to be Tel Aviv's response to The Hague's classic electro sound.

Rare Self produced tape from 1993 - LP including free bonus cd , limited to 500 handnumbered copies.
It's been exactly 20 years since the first SUICIDE COMMANDO album "Critical Stage" was released on the German Off Beat label.
It was the promising start of a long and ultimatily succesful career and today SUICIDE COMMANDO can be easily described as on of THE leading harsh electro acts in the alternative scene.
What some of you might not know is that Johan Van Roy still released 9 (!) tapes before releasing his debut album in 1994.
"Electro Convulsion Therapy" was the last and without any doubt the most succesfull tape released in 1993. It already contained the original 4 track recordings of later clubhits like "Traumatize", "Necrophilia" or "Time", but also featured other pearls like "Close Your Eyes", "Sheer Horror" or "How It Feels".
"Electro Convulsion Therapy" holds the complete last tape on lp, but also contains a selection of the best songs from the other early tapes released between 1988 and 1992, including several rare songs and even one previously unreleased song as a bonus on the free included cd version , all remastered by Eric Van Wonterghem at Prodam Berlin 2015.

Auf Seite A gibt es zwei Tracks von Styro2000s Le Bal EP "Deselected", die am selben VÖ-Datum, 25.6., erscheint. Styro2000, Zürichs Meister der Modularen Analogsysteme und bekannt vom Duo "Galoppierende Zuversicht", das nicht nur am Burning Man Furore machte, ist nach längerer Pause zurück mit einem Solorelease und seinem sorgfältig handgemachten, analogen Minimal-Techno, der uns Hörer mit seinen subtilen rhythmischen Mustern and klanglichen Ausflügen gnadenlos reinzieht.

Die AA-Seite präsentiert den dritten und letzten Teil der "Strange Sounds" Remixes von Manuel Mind & Valentino Tomasis Elektroklassiker von 2001. Während wir für die Volumes 1 & 2 (LEBAL1201/1202, LEBAL002), hauptsächlich einheimische Produzenten angefragt hatten - Andri, Canson, Marco Repetto - baten wir dieses Mal drei internationale Remixer um ihre Vision des Tracks. Es geht los mit DJ Slugo, einem der Chicago Juke / Ghetto House Pioniere, und seiner kompromisslosen Tiefbass-808-Booty-Shake Juke-Version; danach klopft Johnny Dangerous in seiner Foremost Poets Mental Version "Strange Sounds" den Track richtig weich. Seine Synkopen-Synthie-Stöhnvocal-Version verdient ihren Namen in jedem Fall. Den Abschluss macht der Berliner Produzent Mijk van Dijk mit einem Mix, dessen Boogie-Feel uns die Tanzschuhe von selbst anzieht.

Side A features two tracks from Styro2000's Le Bal EP "Deselected", out on the same date, June 25th. Styro2000, Zurich's master of modular analogue systems and of "Galoppierende Zuversicht" fame with legendary live performances at Burning Man, is back with a solo release featuring his carefully crafted trademark sound of analogue minimal techno that seduces the listener with its rhythmic patterns and sonic waves.

Side AA features the third and final installment of the "Strange Sounds" remixes by Le Bal's own Manuel Mind & Valentino Tomasi. While in Volumes 1 & 2 (LEBAL1201/1202, LEBAL002), we invited mainly producers from our native Switzerland - Andri, Canson, Marco Repetto et al. - this time, we asked some international remixers to complete their visions of the track. It starts with DJ Slugo, one of the pioneers of Chicago Juke / Ghetto House, and his uncompromising deep bass 808 booty-shake Juke version; after that, Foremost Poets' Johnny Dangerous beats "Strange Sounds" with a bat, and out comes a syncope-driven "Mental" version that fully deserves its name. At last, Berlin-based Mijk van Dijk delivers a funky track with a boogie feel you feel the need to dance to.

Tricky liebt Veränderungen. Er ist ständig in Bewegung und mutiert immer wieder, um sich
weiterzuentwickeln. Nach seinem Umzug nach Berlin Anfang 2015 begann er sofort die Arbeit an seinem
nächsten Musikprojekt. Dieses trägt den Titel Skilled Mechanics. Bei Skilled Mechanics handelt es sich um
ein lockeres Kooperationsgefüge, welches ihm erlaubt mit verschiedenen Künstlern und Sängern
zusammenzuarbeiten, während er gleichzeitig seinen eigenen, einzigartigen Gesang in den Vordergrund
stellen kann. Der prominenteste Partner ist DJ Milo, bekannt als Teil der Wild-Bunch-Crew. Neben
Gastauftritten der chinesischen Rapperin Ivy , der Londoner Sängerin Renata Platon und der dänischen
Singer/Songwriterin Oh Land steuert auf dem selbstbetitelten Debüt auch Trickys aktuelle Sängerin
Francesca Belmonte einen Song bei. Eher durch Zufall entdeckte Tricky die tolle Stimme seines regulären
Tour-Drummers Luke Harris, der so zu einem wichtigen Akteur des Ganzen wurden. Das Album "Skilled
Mechanics" wird auf Trickys eigenem Label False Idols veröffentlicht.

Joey LaBeija has earned himself the reputation of an underground club music deity in his native town of New York City. The Bronx-bred producer/DJ is revered for his rhythmic assaults on sound systems: combining a celebration of his Puerto Rican heritage (i.e. Big Pun and Wisin Y Yandel) with his love for the more extreme/experimental corners of electronic music (from Bjork to friends, Rabit and Lotic). As a fourth generation House of LaBeija emissary, Joey is less interested in plainly referencing the traditional sound of ballroom and vogue, but instead seeks out new pathways to further immerse listeners into his personal experience. Shattered Dreams, Joey's first proper body of work, marks a bold step forward in this artistic inquiry. On Shattered Dreams, we hear Joey pouring his darkest time as an adult into the music: a single year full of life losses amidst the walls of an unforgiving metropolis. From start to finish, it is a story told through the sprawl of daydreamt melodies, amorphous noise resembling the multi-appendage clatter of insects, and tattered beds of abrasive percussion. Much like his style of playing live, there is no single set genre as Shattered Dreams winds forward, instead he mines various stylistic cues - the upbeat stutter step of either Timbaland or that of grime ('Over' and 'Joey's Inferno'), for instance - until revealing the tender, reverberating echoes of sounds unfound beneath the breaking sediment. This album is a hard barrel roll left, away from his well-secured club stature. It is, instead, an intrepid dive into the pain of mind.

While Shattered Dreams was debuted by The Fader as a stream-only mix last August (making FACT's 'Best of the Year' list and receiving high praise in Mixmag's November issue), Purple Tape Pedigree is proud to be assigned the responsibility of officially releasing the album with tracks split and re-touched to utmost dynamic clarity by the masterful Rashad Becker. This is a new beginning, as well as the most ideal way for PTP to start a new year.

Fodd Dod debut recording is a beautiful portrayal of disappointment - one that could be aimed at anything and could be added onto any situation or relation. Whether it is aimed at the impossible symmetry of male/female chemistry, one's own shortcomings, or the shortness of life, Fodd Dod translates to "Born Dead", the subject of the disappointment is not important - it is not why, but rather how. The six tracks that form the record offer no solution, they dont even hint at one. Track by track "Studie i Narhet, Langtan och Besvikelse" drags you further down, using simple machine drum rhythms and droney synth melodies combined with SARS signature mourns - but with enough skill and enough progression to never lose its aim, without ever becoming stagnant. What separates Varg and SARS' work as 'Fodd Dodd', from many of the "minimal synth wave" projects of the last years genre revival, is that you for once believe in the emotion being transmitted. The project, however similar in approach to other bands, current and past, does not feel forced. So even if the emotional quest of the record is to dwell in disappointment, the record as a listening experience does the exact opposite. The inescapable nerve in the six pieces is so strong, that one ends up feeling captivated rather than disappointed." -Loke Rahbek
