- Code' ist das Debütalbum des Berliner Produzenten Answer Code Request auf Ostgut Ton. Ob seine DJ-Sets, die zunehmenden Auftritte als Live-Act oder mit eindrucksvollen Releases auf Marcel Dettmann Records und seinem eigenen Label ACR - Patrick Gräser zählt als Resident-DJ im Berghain zu den spannenden, neuen Gesichtern des Labels. Nach der - Breathe EP', seiner Debüt-Veröffentlichung auf Ostgut Ton, ist sein erster Langspieler nicht nur eine Frage der Zeit, sondern gar der logische Schritt gewesen.

- Code' ist ein Statement, denn es spielt und kokettiert nicht nur mit der Gretchenfrage der elektronischen Musik, welche Aufgaben und Perspektiven eine Techno-LP demonstrieren sollte, sondern stellt auch unsere gängigen Hörerwartungen in Frage. Denn während zumeist das Primat der Funktionalität als Paradigma in Stein gemeißelt zu sein scheint, kehrt ACR der bloßen Ansammlung von Dancefloor-Tracks den Rücken zu. Allesamt im letzten Jahr entstanden, stellen die zwölf Tracks ein originäres, andächtiges und erwachsenes Soundkonzept vor, das sich wie eine nebelverzogene Zeitreise präsentiert - sowohl durch die Einflüsse und Geschichte von Gräser, als auch durch Teilgebiete der Tanzmusik: von Detroit-inspirierten Elegien über den UK-Sound mit seinen Breakbeats und IDM-Bezügen bis hin zur warmen Seite des Berliner Techno der 90er-Jahre. Trotz der mitunter nostalgischen Tiefe, umweht - Code' eine geheimnisvolle Aura sowie mystische Stimmung, die sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Stücke zieht.

Denn die ist nicht etwa eine Compilation im Sinne von: paar Kumpels anrufen, eine Handvoll Schubladen-Tracks abstauben, das Ganze irgendwie zusammenstoppeln und raushauen. Tatsächlich geht es hier um die Kunst der Selektion. Um Überlegung, Ansporn, Auswahl, Prozess - also um eine ganze Menge eher mühevoller Tätigkeiten, denen man die Mühe am Ende gar nicht mehr anhört, weil alles so selbstverständlich und horizonterweiternd ineinander flutscht. Zwei Weisheiten aus dem Modeselektions-Einmaleins. Erstens: Eine Selektion ist immer so gut wie der Abstand zwischen ihren unterschiedlichsten Gliedern, je größer, desto besser. Zweitens: Eine Selektion ist umso besser, je öfter man überrascht wird und je mehr neue Entdeckungen zu machen sind. Bevor die Lichter angehen, hier noch ein paar harte Fakten: "Modeselektion Vol. 03" kommt erstmals ohne eigenen Modeselektor-Beitrag aus (vom Souleyman-Edit mal abgesehen), einfach, weil es so viel gute Musik von alten und neuen Freunden gab. Das Ganze ist daher erstmals auf einer Zweifach-CD zu haben, außerdem als Digital Bundle und, leicht abgespeckt, auch als Doppel-12-Inch-LP sowie auf zwei EP-Auskopplungen auf Vinyl. 19 Tracks, lauter süße Früchtchen. Das Maskottchen ist diesmal nicht umsonst der Ananasaffe.

Heavyweights Henry Saiz and Hecq are stepping up to the occasion with two stellar contributions accompanied by two of our very own future alumni, Dual Shaman and Aebeloe. Having no reference point in original versions, this release will hopefully put the spotlight on it's contributors while building up some excitement towards the album release.

Brussels-based Orphan Swords is a duo between Yannick Franck aka Räum, sound experimentalist & founder of Idiosyncratics label and Maze, producer & Bozar Electronic Arts Festival curator. Previously described as "industrial-slanted techno" or "new school industrial" by XLR8R or The Quietus, Orphan Swords' music results of the collision between Räum & Maze's widely different influences, including techno, noise or cold wave.

Orphan Swords has been recently remixed by SHXCXCHCXSH, Dwellings, Paul Purgas (Emptyset) and Exoteric Continent and collaborated with Ike Yard's Stuart Argabright.

"... in the realm of acts like Sandwell District and Richie Hawtin's digressive and hypnotizing Plastikman moniker." XLR8R

"Their debut EP, DANTALION/RAUM is a slow-building, intricately-layered exploration of heavily processed synths, voices, tape loops, feedbacks, drones and beats. Each track on the EP builds to a staggering crescendo of ear-shattering, gritty noise and techno-driven beats." THE QUIETUS

In 2011 it got a little quiet around the co-productions of Fraenzen Texas and Ruede Hagelstein aka The Cheapers. But since the beginning of the new year the lights don`t go out in their studio doing beats and sound. Next to Releases on Areal Records and Bar25 the UY063 was born. Title of the name giving A-side goes back on a quote from Paris Hilton who wants to tell with 'Amazeballs' how super cool she finds things. Anyway the two artists made it real with their concise bassline which will make the people reliably squeak more than hobby DJane Hilton. On the B-side things turn a bit more severe: 'Egyptian Summer' quotes with samples the Arabic spring in Africa and produces a revolutionary ground mood which has never been heard before. On B2 however there are the cheaperesque absurdities on the microfon like we know them... depositing skillfully their own vocals in the belly of a hungry electro monster.

Produzent und Musiker deadmau5 hat seine neue große Vision fertiggestellt- eine, die sich wie ein Gesamtkunstwerk anfühlt: while(1<2) (gesprochen: 'while 1 is less than 2'). while(1<2) besteht aus insgesamt 25 Tracks und wird zum ersten Mal als Doppel-Album erscheinen. Was kann man nun von while(1<2) erwarten 'Es ist eine tolle Mischung aus dem heißen Scheiß, den ich machen wollte, und dem heißen Scheiß, den die Leute hören wollen oder von mir erwarten. Es ist eine ausgewogene Balance. Es ist jetzt nicht so wie, 'Oh, das ist ja voll die Kehrtwende, er macht jetzt smoothen Jazz'', sagt deadmau5. 'Als ich an meinem Live-Set gearbeitet habe, Setlists für die Show und solche Sachen, sind ein paar Tracks entstanden, die von Anfang bis Ende ziemlich gut zusammengepasst haben. Da habe ich gedacht 'Nun, wenn ich jemals ein Album oder diese Stück auf eine Art Album packe, dann ist das genau das richtige Format für die Anordnung dieser Tracks.' Ich habe einfach alles genommen und musikalisches Tetris gespielt.'

The 12 track album was written and produced since the turn of 2013 and mixed with Erol Alkan at 'The Phantasy Sound', the label's own studio in London. A difficult trick to master but like Carl Craig's 'More Songs About Food And Revolutionary Art', Plastikman's 'Consumed' or more recently the work of Four Tet, the album works as a cohesive whole rather than a disparate collection of tracks. Innovative and forward thinking, Drone Logic manages to draw influences from beyond the dancefloor via My Bloody Valentine, NEU! and Chris Carter while still having the techno pulse to scale the walls of any club. The wide array of plaudits and early adopters of Avery's music is proof of this, ranging from acid house legends like The Chemical Brothers, Andrew Weatherall and Richie Hawtin to the best of the new breed in Maya Jane Coles, James Holden and Factory Floor. Firmly established as one of the UK's most exciting new DJ / producers having cut his teeth in Weatherall's Shoreditch studio bunker, Drone Logic follows up Avery's universally acclaimed mix CD for London clubbing institution Fabric where he remains a resident, recent remixes for Primal Scream, The Horrors & Django Django and last year's Need Electric and Water Jump EPs on Alkan's Phantasy label. This summer sees him play at Bestival, Festival No.6 and the Green Man festival.




5. NAÏVE RESPONSE

The long awaited debut LP from Dark Sky is not entirely what you might expect from the London trio. After a string of club focused 12"s they delve deep to deliver a tender and uplifting offering entitled 'imagin.' To the sworn fan it may come as a surprise, but it will prove to be a pleasant one, as the evolution from the analogue metallic sounds that shaped their past discography naturally mature and slide into the sound palette of imagin.
Through heavy consumption of music from across the spectrum the trio's work has refined, and clearly echoes their heritage as kids of the 90's, referencing numerous influences the decade processed - the album bears traces of funk, post rock, a thick layer of trip hop, even balearic house, bossa nova, disco, 80ies pop and ambient. All of it heavily reverberated, stirred and shaken in Dark Sky's musical tumbler.
The outcome is captivating. Littered with sophisticated percussion, soft and subtle marimbas fused with sci-fi synths and tastefully delivered vocals throughout. Grey Reverend features on the lead single 'Silent Fall' to beautiful effect, with an outcome sitting somewhere between James Blake and Moderat. Elsewhere Cornelia (of Portico Quartet fame) delivers Elizabeth Fraser - like vocals on 'Nothing Chances,' 'Vivid' and 'Purple Clouds' providing a perfect soundtrack to the late summer.
Long standing Dark Sky fans will also be pleased to hear that there are more club orientated tracks on their too. 'Odyssey's' dark spacey arpeggios and growling bass line reminds us of their seminal electro-roller 'Confunktion,' but comes delivered complete with euphoric almost balearic stabs and straight stacked 4 x 4 hi-hats. 'Rainkist' is a soul laced dance floor ballade featuring vocals from an unlikely source in the form of d-Bridge with huge crossover potential, and 'Manuka' finally brings back the breakbeat with its percussive far-east vibes that evoke Truth Hurts & Rakim's 'Addictive,' which fittingly sums up this album.

Man/machine magician Boris Divider unleashes his fourth album... And, as with much of Fundamentals' current output, it's highly limited. Continuing his explorations and escapades into the darkest, iciest realms of electronic music, Deflector/Atractor is perhaps his most extensive collection to date as we're treated to shimmering ambient bliss ("Particle") to dreamy, skippy, robot-charming fracturism ("Mikrowelt") via his more classic, straight up funky electro ("Deflector"). Yet another bold march into the coded unknown for both Boris and Fundamentals, this can't be slept on.

Nine months after releasing 'Go Hard', Boys Noize gathered his friends and returns with an even more banging remix collection: Club Cheval get things started with a trademark punchy rework of "Excuse Me," an avalanche of musical excellence from the French quartet made up of Sam Tiba, Pelican Fly, MYD and Canblaster. Los Angeles based Salva keeps the energy flowing with a high octane remix of "Push Em Up" before Ultramajic's Aden aka Machinedrum delivers a bass-led, neonstreaked techno mix of "Inhale/Exhale." Pilo shows his skills in exciting new house and Dutch newcomer Juyen Sebulba complete the deluxe remix package; the latter's refreshing take on old-school hard style electronica, a unique recipe for modern age house.

Anunnaki Cartel is back with release #4! This time it's a solo EP from Chris Mitchell. 4 tracks of dope analog sounding Chicago techno & acid, just the way we like it! Limited copies, don't snooze..

One NYC's brightest drops a beauty of a double LP on Dekmantel. Awesomely dope! TIP!
Spring 2014 will see Dutch label Dekmantel release the debut full-length album from New Jersey producer, DJ and Inimeg Records boss Joey Anderson. Entitled After Forever, the album is the natural next step for a producer who has turned out plenty of deep and intriguing techno EPs for labels like Latency, Deconstruct Music and Syncrophone over the last couple of years.

Having been championed by the connoisseur likes of Levon Vincent and DJ Qu before the rest of the world cottoned on, Anderson's style has proved to be truly idiosyncratic, where near bottomless techno grooves get run through with haunted piano lines, shadowy synth work or elegant drones. There are barely ever any claps or snares, instead just plenty of deeply hypnotic kicks and plenty of noir tension.

'Every track on the album has its own take on my personality, my mentality musically and my vision of off-dancefloor music,' says Joey. 'I find it very difficult to create something for people just to like. I'd rather pay attention to making them get close to the album and uncover the ideas within it. Being my first LP, it's dedicated to my two daughters, Akatriel and Auset.'

As well as two tracks that were released on Anderson's previous Dekmantel EP, the album offers nine new cuts and kicks off with 'Space Between Curtains'. Haunting, saddened piano keys linger in the air above metallic synth sounds for the emotive duration of the track. Then there's the teary eyed, end-of-the-world yet optimistic vibe of 'Space Colors Ideas'. After that various intimate moods are explored, from heavy and ominous on 'Maidens Response' to celestial and cautiously uplifting on 'Archer's Ceremony' via 'Amp Me Up', which sees Anderson's spacious and atmospheric style suck you in with its weird, gurgling machine noises unravelling above an unchanging drum track.

It's an album that demands and indeed warrants close inspection, and is the sort of work that really transports you deep into another world far away from here. With After Forever, then, Joey Anderson confirms he crafts moody and atmospheric techno like few others.

Marvin Gaye and Tangerine Dream together in an elevator in Detroit for the second time!

Adventurous electro project 2 years in the making featuring works from Ian Martin, Shemale, Federico Leocata, Das Muster, Obergman, Koova, Linear Synthesis (New project from Kobol Electronics and Heinrich Dressel), DMX Krew, Elec Pt.1 and DJ Stingray. Think Kraftwerk, Drexciya, Dopplereffekt and Bunker-style dark basement vibes all rolled into one neatly presented package and that's pretty much what is on offer here. A fine selection of tracks which successfully presents fresh sounds by tried-and-tested names, while simultaneously introducing upcoming and arguably lesser known, but by no means any less talented artists. Thoroughly essential for all electro fans out there. Limited edition vinyl pressing.

This project is combining the metal hardcore sound of the Moshpit trio (I.O.T. Records) with the clubbing/dancefloor sound of Boxon Records.

Ed Upton returns to CPU with a no compromise electro 6 tracker. Aimed squarely at electro purists with tracks reminiscent of classic Hashim and Man Parrish right up to the modern chilling electronics of Arpanet. As always working evocative melodies effortlessly into every track.


The Limited edition (250 copies worldwide) 12" vinyl includes Space Eyes, Not Very, Spook Show, Crawl Space, Shared Library and Give Me A House.

Person of Interest, highly sought after and could be lurking in the shady corners under Brooklyn's JMZ line.
On his L.I.E.S. debut we get soupy remanants of what could be called garage house, pieces of high octane techno, and one slow burning grisled tooth number to close this three track ep out. A strong showing and undoubtedly one to keep your eyes on.

Goa and psytrance, superb picture disc
