01.10.2015

Randomer returns to L.I.E.S. with his second release for the label, a 5 track maxi-12inch jam packed with mixing tools to rip the floor.

Club tested and approved, a classic in the making.

Redshape - Bleep Repeat Present

Science fiction, psychosis and savagery converge: The ever-enigmatic Redshape returns to his own label Present with this propulsive and decidedly unearthly release. BLEEP REPEAT makes for a potent first track. Here, a thumping step gives way to synth lines that sting and swell across solar systems. Things get headier, grittier, reaching a furious and frightening rush with spectral soundbites to match. A homage to UK rave sounds, this track perfectly captures the uncanny pairing of aggression and rapture at the heart of 90s bleep. PAPER BLADES follows, a celestial soundscape punctuated with hissing breakbeats and a sinewy bassline. Rippling acid lines beam along the astral plane, and a hallucinatory, near-liturgical melody meanders all the while. Spaced-out yet inexplicably driving, this track is elevating, enveloping

Healing Force Project - Entheogenic Spore

Four labyrinthine excursions in psychedelic techno, from Antonio Marini.Take a step back... move to the side, just a touch... there... acid, dub and free jazz, focalising like heat blisters, then healed in a flash. Wayward Flow, for example, with the ghosts of double bass and bongos swirling in from the margins.
Entheogenic freak-outs, with the left profile of Robert Hood, the right profile of Vangelis.

Syracuse - Liquid Silver Dream

Debut full length from this quirky French pair after a couple of very impressive singles. We are pleased to hear Antinote continuing to delve the of experimental 'Pop' electronics area. Excellent stuff! TIP!
.

"Touring intensively for the past couple of years, Syracuse's Antoine and Isabelle finally spent some time in a studio to record new songs as well as ones that were born on the road. Liquid Silver Dream is the result of these studio sessions.

From the opening track, Vapeurs d'Équateur, to the last one, Le Coeur en Naufrage, it seems that the whole album has been recorded in some secret cave under the sea. Maybe the hot and dry weather in Paris by the time of the recording and the fact that the studio was lacking air conditioning can somehow explain the urge to liquidize
every musical element - Isabelle's voice, the instruments - before pouring them into one of the six tracks of the album, turning each tune into a phial of intriguing essences.

Syracuse reminds us with this album that sophistication doesn't mean complexity. LOVE, for example, is a beautiful demonstration of this statement: the song has the genuine simplicity that any love song should have; the only ornament being an elegant opiate dub treatment given by a master of the genre, Iueke.

The first track on the B-side, Floating, allows you to take one last deep breath - somewhere over a still ocean where time has momentarily stopped - before 10 minute-long Liquid Silver Dream, a big acid wave slowly getting at you before wiping you out in a roar of synths and crushed claps. Finally, Le Coeur en Naufrage resonates in
your ears: you are lying on the shore while the sea gently skims your feet."

Abdulla Rashim - Unanimity 2x12"

Defeating apathy by creating his own world, Abdulla Rashims music thinks before it speaks. Untangeled energy and drive breathes life into the rigid rhythmic structures, where the wild, almost primal, core illuminates the heartfelt and soulful layers within in his music. This musical contradiction between thought and letting go, acts as the base foundation in Abdulla Rashim's music. As a celebration and as a aural development, Abdulla Rashim releases his 'Unanimity' LP on Northern Electronics in May 2014.

Athens reminds us of Berlin right after the Wall. Gritty, chaotic, dirty, and partying like there's no future. Dream Weapons is a reflection of these confused greek days.
With limited means and a DIY attitude he builds harsh, lysergic, electronic dreams on the ruins of a once splendid empire. MRT is the perfect place to do so. We believe in total failure.

Gigi Masin, Alessandro Monti, Alessandro Pizzin - The Wind Collectors / As Witness Our Hands 2xcd
 
28

The music on The Wind Collector/As Witness Our Hands' double cd remaster was recorded between 1989 and 1990: this definitive' edition on compact disc was compiled and sequenced by Alessandro Pizzin, the original studio producer and assistant on keyboards/arrangements. TIP!
.
Disc 1 contains the complete 8-track master tape including all the unreleased tracks plus 2 trio improvisations. Disc 2 was lovingly compiled by Alessandro from over 5 hours of demos, sessions & rehearsals taken from the original reference cassettes: they're far from perfect but they give a broader perspective of our work. We recorded this music in a basement ( Bunker' studio in Padua, Italy) under ideal conditions, no time or financial restrictions, we were allowed all kinds of facilities including a baby grand piano and excellent recording equipment so we were able to capture on tape ideas in real time. The music reflected our common purpose: mixing songs and harmonies with noises and experiments using both the electronic and the acoustic instruments. Unfortunately we weren't lucky with the distribution and acceptance at the time, but after 25 years it seems that there's an entire new audience for The Wind Collector', perhaps we were unconsciously ahead of our time... like a young DJ recently wrote: these pieces, which were made before the computerization of music, still are beyond the standard of the cold binary track.

Joey Anderson - Invisible Switch

The art of omission is a craft New Jersey native Joey Anderson masters like few others. After releasing his acclaimed debut album After Forever in 2014 and the 1974 EP earlier this year, Anderson returns to the Dekmantel label serving up the signature sound we love him for. Invisible Switch is the perfect example of what Anderson can do with very little, catapulting him to one of the finest and most original techno and house producers to date.

Primitive World - Purple Caps Ep

Primitive World AKA Sam WIllis joins R&S following a string of highly regarded releases on Black Acre, Ecstatic Sound and Obsession Recordings. The legendary Belgian label is the perfect home for his dancefloor deconstructions, with the project's experimental, off kilter take on house & techno a natural fit for R&S Records' boundary-shifting heritage. A former member of revered Kompakt duo WALLS, Primitive World draws from Willis's time as part of influential London duo Allez Allez, whose DJ sets and podcast frequently drew from dance music's
punk and industrial fringes. Purple Caps finds the Primitive World sound further maturing, the EP's four original tracks confidently club focused yet esoteric enough to demand the full attention of DJs and dancers with their off kilter rhythmic sensibility. Since its inception in 2012 with the Danceteria EP on Black Acre the project has already won ardent fans among DJs such as Untold, Lowtec, Joy Orbison and Barnt, while an early version
of this EP's Azimuth found its way into Tessela's Radio 1 show in
2014.

Various - Various Cuts #1

This one is a taste of things to come from the ClekClekBoom camp, a ready to use 'Various Cuts' EP made by deejays for deejays.
A solid wax with different weapons including already known CCB producers and extended family. For this first volume, French Fries teams up with NSDOS on a hypnotic jam, bringing Chicago's percussive legacy in a 90's NYC ballroom. Then we got Aleqs Notal going deep with a new batch of his lunar material where tripping synths meet spaced out hi-hats. On the flip Jean Nipon provides his drummer background to display some infectious rhythms colliding with a shuffling syncopated bass, while Barbara Ford takes us through a heavy mesmerizing acid jam tunnel... Overall a deep and yet club-material experience representing perfectly what ClekClekBoom has to offer today.

Dimitris Petsetakis - Endless Lp

For the fourth installment in Into the Light's journey into Greek electronic music, we find ourselves transferred to Pireus, home place of ambient music composer Dimitris Petsetakis.
With the exception of only one track, 'Endless LP' is a collection of previously unreleased material that has remained in Petsetakis' basement studio for almost 30 years now.

Dimitris Petsetakis was born in Pireus, Greece and has been a member of the 'Society of Greek composers of Electronic music',
founded by Janis Xenakis, since its foundation. He released only one album on Vangelis Katsoulis' Utopia label under the title 'Missing Links' from where the opening track 'Liquid' has been selected. 'Liquid' has been referred to by Petsetakis himself as one of his most representative and fundamental compositions. His music in general consists of elements of minimalism , musique concrete, ethnic forms from all over the world as well as intricate use of quitars, synthesizers and various acoustic instruments.

'Endless LP' seeks to share Petsetakis unique talent with a wider audience and to pay tribute to his unshakeable and continuous devotion as a musician throughout the decades. Included o the 'Endless LP' are ten compositions that range from uncompromising experimentation to ancient Greek musical forms and exotic ambience.

Recondite - Placid ( Cd Album + Bonus Cd "on Acid"
 
10

When Recondite, AKA Lorenz Brunner, emerged with his debut LP for Acid Test (2012's On Acid), we were still learning about the German producer's inward-looking dance floor sound. A few years later, his sinewy jams have proved near universal - like an underground Zelig, he's fit perfectly everywhere from Rødhåd's Dystopian to Ghostly International and Innervisions. Acid Test also allows Recondite the chance to indulge his more outré tendencies and a welcomed return it is.

Suction Records is pleased to present the 1st in a series of vinyl reissues by the Canadian EBM band, Digital Poodle, beginning with 'Work Terminal,' an early '90s electronic dance floor anthem. The 12' is also rounded out by an impossibly rare 1991 cassette version, a much more clanging and ominous take than the original. Alongside O/H's sludgy, furious techno version, and Solvent's driving minimal synth reduction, 'Revision! vol.1' offers a diverse set of dance floor killers for the modern industrial-techno scene.

Radioactive Man - White Light Monochrome Ep

Unshaken in his vision, Keith Tenniswood is an artist who's emotive electronic music, and ethos has seen him lorded as an innovator and machine funk specialist. As long term collaborator to Andrew Weatherall in their now defunct Two Lone Swordsmen guise, and with his continual sonic experiments as Radioactive Man he mans a landscape of music without rules or boundaries.
Opening the his debut release on Reinhardt, lead track White Light Monochrome channels a mechanical rhythm, with a tip of the hat to electronic music founders Kraftwerk. Intensively building to the 3 minute plus mark, before haunting keys lead the way, descending into a cybernetic electro workout.
Future driver Space Ranger takes to the audio freeway, mainlined for Detroit. Imprinted with Tenniswood' unmistakable style, finely honed snares layer up around distorted low end frequencies, coursing in a hypnotic expedition towards the outer districts.
Channeling the tendencies of Bauhaus and Joy Division, the warping Transponder documents the ever prevalent post-punk influence within the output of Radioactive Man.
In close pursuit EP closer Mechanical Music Menace levels the floor. Beaming into the stratosphere, live bass pulsates through the system as man and machine fuse, xylophone keys take front and centre taking us beyond the stars.
Digital bonus track Hideout evokes a sound with one foot in the past, and an eye on the future. A trademark continually present through the music of this uncompromising and inventive producer.

Skudge Records
09.10.2013

We are proud to present the fourth release of the Skudge White series.

2013 keeps getting busier at the Skudge headquarters as we're now proud to introduce MRSK's latest project, a journey beyond techno that almost takes a shamanistic turn.

In his new Smell The Flesh guise, the man delivers six cuts of eerie beats, challenging his western esthetics with a nonetheless complex yet primal approach.

Hail Kongo sets the tone with its syncopated haunting beats before Closed Walls creeps you up with dark Jamaican acid.
Then, Unsettled Conflict reminds us of those 80ies horror movies, the most menacing kind, while Blood Relic throws us in the middle of a trance like chase scene!

The record closes off with Struck By Venom's voodoo techno and Cardiac Arrest final morbid message, an all in all unsettling journey that the Skudge crew is happy to take you with.

Shinedoe - Illogical Directions 2x12"

Shinedoe - Illogical Directions

A day in the life of Shinedoe, expect anything. With dance music currently exploding
into a multi coloured crossbreed it's tempting to take things as far as possible. And
that's exactly what this Amsterdam based DJ does on her long awaited third album.
Illogical Directions is about letting go, about an artist completely liberated in her studio,
making music by the heart and processing all her experiences into one impressive trip.
For sure, the third time's a charm.

Another lesson learned, to pigeonhole Shinedoe is merely impossible after listening to this
record. Unlike ten years ago, when she made her way to DJ stardom with the release of the
omnipresent club hit Dillema, soon followed by debut album Sound Travelling. It made her
one of the faces of the soon wildly popular minimal sound -techno music in a stripped but
extremely funky manner was a specialty reserved for a DJ like Shinedoe.

Stronger than the music itself, she kept reinventing herself. Techno and house music remained
her foundations, from there the Dutch notoriety took her grooves to a completely other level.
In 2010, sophomore album No Boundaries saw Shinedoe venture into more rooted genres like
jazz, funk and dub. Her true identity was emerging, things were getting even more interesting.

Illogical Directions
Now, four years later, precisely in the year Shinedoe will be celebrating the tenth birthday of
her renowned imprint Intacto Records*, she's made a journey further down that path. As if
she's completing a trilogy, the album Shinedoe has shaped is nothing less than the
culmination of everything she stands for. A tour de force of highly organic dance music
bringing together the euphoria of club music with moody, more introvert songs. Illogical
Directions is, simply put, exactly the album you'd want Shinedoe to make.

'When I produce music, it comes from my heart and soul', she explains. 'I don't want to
make rational choices, it's important the music can move in any direction, even if it doesn't
really make sense. It's the only way to completely feel free, to avoid getting trapped in some
sort of format. As a result, these new tracks all have their own feeling and identity, you can't
label them to one particular sound. It definitely was a challenge bringing them all together,
but it works!'

The most extraordinary about this, the typical Shinedoe sound is still intact, even when she
impressively demonstrates all her various sounds within the first couple of tracks. Kicking
things off with the slowed down, dubby track Release Yourself and the mechanical house tune
Essence, there's immediately a certain tension building up. The jazzy deephouse of Alto
Parisio takes things further, followed by the just as incredible Discourse My New Romance, a
dark and twisted dancefloor track featuring The Knife's Karin Dreijer.

From that moment on, anything can happen. Sleek deephouse (Panomanic, Fe-Male, the
beautiful anthem-like Not So Far), cool electro (Pressure Dome) as well as classic house with
a soulful touch (Circle Of Life featuring the infectious vocals of Miss Bunty). It's more
mesmerizing and melodic than ever, even though Shinedoe also enters a darker and more
gritty world with tracks like God's Love and Get Dirty -another uncharted terrain she's
familiarized herself with.
As said, Shinedoe has surpassed expectations. Illogical Directions takes you to loads of
unexpected sensations with a collection of music you rarely hear put together. But she's done
it, delivering an album that pulls you up and brings you back down again. So, whatever you
have in mind, get ready for one of 2014's most ingeniously crafted dance albums, presenting a
variety of emotions unusual in this particular genre. Some illogical directions indeed, but we
love it.

Minimum Syndicat / Umwelt - Ep

You knew this would happen! As purveyors of early Rave sounds with a serious dose of talent and nostalgia, Minimum Syndicat would logically team up with head honcho Um-welt to deliver an outstanding split EP that will go down in ROD History!
On A side, Paris based combo drops an authentic anthem of their trademark: "Antiworlds" mixes a fat compressed techno kick to ravey strings while a sample taken from Moby's classic "Thousand" cut will lead you to ecstasy. Beastly! On the flipside, Umwelt strikes back with a monster of a track. Brainwashing "OTSHA4TRCS2XOX" brings some old school rave vibes over a powerful, rolling and infec-tious rhythm a la Plastikman. Tune!
This is not the first time both artists appear together on a same release: they have been featured twice on MS02 and Polybius Trax 02! So you might know the score now. Suc-ceeding to the collectible "Parc Expo (Live Version)" limited split 10", Rave Or Die 04 offers two live original cuts for smoking warehouses.

Norwegian producer Stian Gjevik returns with his third full length album as CN with The Derelict. The sequel to his 2011 concept album The Expedition Beyond (Wil-Ru Records), The Derelict unravels a new chapter in the story of a space traveller wandering the galaxy in his starship only to crash-land on a foreign planet and encounter new lifeforms.

Cracking Space Pt.2

12inch50WEAPONS037
50 Weapons
04.06.2014

Here comes Cracking Space Pt. 2.
The second half of Phon.o's journey into the deeper end of dance-music is slightly darker than its counterpart. The working title for this record was - Pri5m' as it is dedicated to Whistleblower Edward Snowden and doing this title justice, the 3 tracks are full of suspense and captivating sounds.
Phon.o's signature stacked percussions are met by playful UK garage-esk basslines, driving 4x4 kickdrums and slowly evolving melodies that are coated in delicate layerings of beautifully haunting athmospheres. The outcome is a subtle dancefloor killer that will work its way into ears and legs without big gestures.
This is one of Phon.o's finest works to date.

Function & Vatican Shadow - Games Have Rules 2x12"

Function and Vatican Shadow have combined forces on 'Games Have Rules' for Hospital Productions, simultaneously stripping back each producer's more prevalent production elements - the dancefloor-focused techno structures of Function; the experimental cassette-roots of Vatican Shadow - to create an album of dynamic electronic ambient music, equal parts rhythmic and atmospheric.

VINYL COMES IN A LIMITED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

As befitting what began life as an 'emotional acid' album best suited for an after-hours home listening experience, Games Have Rules was created in the early hours at New York's Hospital Productions and Berlin's Inanimate Objects studios, helping imbue the record with a sense of night turning into day, and the shifting contrasts of dark and light the music evokes.

Although not created as the result of improvisation the album retains an effortless, free-flowing structure, while simultaneously introducing the traditional techno drum kit over the course of the record, deconstructing the ever-changing, looming presence of New York City's skyline.

Ambient in the most traditional sense, Games Have Rules omits the top-heavy reverb saturation of so many modern releases and builds from the ground up with an arsenal hi-fi and lo-fi production techniques/equipment with a cinematic sequence over the arc of the record. But whereas New York City has so often been depicted in film as a prison, Games Have Rules is an embracement of the city's endless possibilities: the LP's gatefold black and white image of The Empire State Building lit up at night from the inside; the ongoing stories of rise and decline lived out at it's base.

Holden - The Illuminations

Another handy 12' of DJ tools, de- and re-constructed from the raw materials of James Holden's 'The Inheritors' album and thoroughly road-tested in his own DJ sets. This time it is the turn of trippy instrumental album interlude 'The Illuminations'.

In its '12' Version' club incarnation, Holden's mystical cascading arpeggios are juxtaposed with a skittering Detroitian thump to cater for a multitude of bewilderment-inducing dancefloor moments the world over.

The 'Drumsolo' strips things back to functional old school techno basics as we get to eavesdrop on Holden jamming with his modified DR-110 drum machine.

Finally, the extended 'Arpsolo' draws out the melodies of the original into a dreamy Boards Of Canada-esque bonus indulgence.

Manta - Etra

Manta

Etra

12inchWTNLP02
Where To Now?
02.12.2015

Etra' is the second LP from Portugese Manuel Carvalho, and can be seen as an extension of the ideas and themes explored on his debut 12' 'Citadel' for Paralaxe Editions. Here across 9 tracks Manta breathes life and light into the potentially heavy exploration of the manifestation of the human ego in architecture, and our perceptions of inner/outer space. The weight of such ideas manifests itself in an sound realm where radiophonic interstellar explorations collide head on with a smooth yet brutalist Techno vision.

'Etra' plays heavily with perceptions of time, plunging the listener into a world of continuously shifting and shuffling timbre and rhythm, inviting and embracing a wandering, disorientated experience, enveloping us deeper and deeper into the dance. There is a sustained human element to 'Etra', represented by the reoccurring ecstatic samples of breathlessness which pierce these otherwise otherworldly soundscapes.

'Etra' gradually becomes a very visual experience, the space in the music allowing ample room for the imagination to conjure it's own sight - a world perhaps where eyes scan a scorched dystopia, pausing briefly on snapshots of remaining life where focus is gained and these snapshots are explored further, a constant inner and outer zoom of the miniatures of individual circumstance and psyche.

Thematically Manta takes his influence largely from J.G. Ballard and Italo Calvino, and does little to hide this admiration. Musically Etra's influence is derived from three interconnecting stems, creating a dizzy dance where Detroit giants such as Drexciya and Terrence Dixon mingle with Pole and Basic Channel under the all encompassing squashed funk gaze of Moodymann.

Manuel says of the record...'While the previous record focused on emotional semantics of architecture and the extension of their effect on the human psyche, Etra focused on how people imprint their ego and character in their surroundings either by projection or construction, their spatial manifestation if you will. The 9 tracks here are exercises to try to imagine how one would create that manifestation not in space but in time, using sound rather than brick.

One of Perc's favourite tracks returns on the Perc Trax Ltd sub-label, an imprint purposely created for reissues and collaborative projects. Originally released in 1993 as part of Thomas Heckmann's 'Drax Three EP', it was featured on Carl Cox's seminal F.A.C.T. mix CD on React and alongside 'Amphetamine' has become one of the biggest tracks of Heckmann's career. Each of these three new remixes keeps the spirit of the original mix in place whilst twisting it into something radically different and contemporary.

Opening up proceedings are Perc & Truss, hot on the heels of their recent sets for Awakenings and their 'Two Hundred' 12'. Built on one of their trademark distorted kick and bass assaults the mix has been a highlight of both producers' sets for months. On the B-side AnD deliver something very different to their previous releases, fusing punk drums with overdriven monosynths, which makes their forthcoming debut album even more of a mouth-watering prospect. Closing the record is The Exaltics who bring a slice of true analogue electro to Perc Trax with a remix which is one of the highlights on Perc's forthcoming mix CD...
