All good things must come to an end and so it is that the landmark series of EPs from Delsin wraps up with instalment 5.
The last part of the 100th release celebratory jigsaw comes from BNJM, Delta Funktionen, Herva, Bleak and John Beltran. It's a great final chapter that completes the story of the label by offering timeless and melancholic sounds from a wide spread of genres.
First is the murky underwater ambiance of BNJMN's 'Dive', which ripples and echoes beautifully before Delta Funktionen's 'Petrol' offers up far more raw and angry sounds in a heavyweight, spitting electro mould. 'Radio Mutterings' sounds just like that, with skittish frequencies, bristling white noise and only the most feint traces of melody anywhere within earshot.
On the flip side, one Swedish techno's finest, Bleak, unravels some steely techno loops and underpins them with a thick bed of rubbery kick drums and the final word on this excellent series comes from ambient auteur John Beltran. His 'Return to Nighfall' has bristling hi hats coated in angelic and harmonic pads and eventually takes off on a well-padded beat. It's the sort of thing that stays with you long after its finished playing, much like the Delsin label as a whole.

One per person pls Deutsche trio killing it on a new LIES BLK!
Sandro Stebnitz, Manito Rotschild, and Dieter Flegel met in the late-nineties in Oldenburg Germany while working on the loading dock of the Leifheit Housewares shipping division. Through their monotonous days of shrink wrapping ovens and loading palettes of stainless steel cookware onto tractor trailers, the trio would often relay tall tales to each other simply to pass the time. One such delusional fantasy was that the trio would one day ditch their warehouse jobs and start a band not unlike their mutual hero, Gary Numan.
Their fantasy became somewhat of a reality when Dieter gained access to various pieces of musical equipment when his uncle Hans came upon a sudden and untimely death. Unphased by this tragic event, Dieter rallied up his small group and hit the garage, practicing and recording every evening in hopes of making it, just like Gary did.
Here we have on record, the only document of their time in the makeshift studio, a 15 minute electronic jam simply titled "Sketch 1"
We hope you enjoy listening to this just as much as Sandro, Manito, and Dieter did making it.

Argy returns to Memento after remixing Italys' house stars Pastaboys, this time teaming up with one of the country's hottest and internationally renowned producers, Alex Picone.
The two of them have released on some of the most revered contemporary record labels: from Cocoon to Cadenza, from Defected to Poker Flat, from Ibadan to Bosconi Records, the list goes on.
Their two-tracker opens with 'Eternal Moment': after an epic old-school synth intro, the booming kick drum leads the way to a galloping acid rumble and to an orgy of claps and hi hats, until the vicious vocal snippets welcome the uplifting and joyous melody.
'This Is How It Goes' follows the same path with sick percussions and hi hat's frenzy, while the bass line and the synth play along harmonically. Sudden breaks give a sense of suspended groove, cleverly designed to bring the rhythm back soon after in a burst of energy.
The guys here are showing their impressive skills in crafting this ambitious ep: after just one listen, it's clear how these tunes stand out from the ordinary mess it's more and more likely to find in the market today. With a hint to house music's history and legacy, they have reworked the genre's distinctive features, making them as fresh and cutting edge as they haven't been in a long time.

For the label's 14th release, Memento welcomes the collaboration of Italy's finest house enthusiasts Pastaboys, who bring their love of dance music's black roots and afro-american soul sounds, combined with an exquisite european-influenced sense of rhythm and melodies. "Tresca" evolves around a sweet italo-disco bass that sends the listener back to the 70s: a soundtrack to a sleazy underground movie, with nightmare-ish synth chords in the background. Strong claps and percussion build the tension up to a Donna Summer-esque break, leading the track to an anthemic climax ready to shake the asses of all the party people out there. Argy's remix adds loopy vocal samples while making the bass more muscular and playing with retro-sounding big-room house synths, perfectly matching the spirit of the original cut but at the same time taking it to the next level. A specta cular two-tracker, which stands out as a devoted tribute to the legacy that shaped the history of house and disco music, from turning inspiration into a brilliant and contemporary piece of work.

An explosive caustic acid concoction awaits from within the grooves of this gargantuan twelve inch from Chicago heavyweight, Hieroglyphic Being. 'Free the Energy (No Vocal Energy)' is highly volatile, with severely unforgiving and distorted drum programming, this violently radioactive adventure is nothing short of brutal and certainly not for the squeamish. Title cut, 'Acid Rain Under the Stars' paints a dreamy landscape, while the acidic protons and neutrons busily rebound in the background on this elongated, hypnosis-inducing and beautifully mind-distorting headtrip. Straight outta nowhere like an atom bomb!
All tracks written and produced by Hieroglyphic Being for Last Known Trajectory 2013 Mastered by Alek Stark @ Fundamental Audio

dualit is the collaboration of German producers Mascon and Oliver Rosemann. For our fifth release they hit the concrete techno ground running with a mighty self-titled debut ep. Through the Waveform Transmission-esque 'Triton' or equally pummeling alien frequencies of 'Proteus', the influence of heyday Tresor basement sweat and strobes on the a-side never seems far away. On the flip, mysterious UK producer Bleaching Agent (Mira, Opal Tapes, Komisch) turns in a jittery broken beat rework of 'Proteus' that's full of piercing atmosphere, while the churning bass and loose playful rhythms of 'Thyone' offers yet another peak-time option. Comes with one lock groove per side while also featuring the incredible artwork of Mixmeister, who supplies some suitably insane face sketches. Early support from Ben Sims, Surgeon, Dave Clarke, Perc, Truss, Rebekah, Norman Nodge, AnD, Clouds, Happa, Samuli Kemppi, Jerome Hill, Tripeo, J. Tijn, Paula Temple.

MDL vs JR, otherwise known as Massimo Di Lena and Joseph Russell, turn in the tough and suitably raw drum assault that is 'Belmont', which has been in demand since featured in Bens much downloaded set from Detroit's 'movement' festival in May 2013 and last but no means least, Australian Craig McWhinney dives into the moody immersive textures and dubbed out after party vibes of 'Untitled (Re-dub)' to close out the EP in style.

Double CD compilation of those enchanting Charles Cohen vinyl releases + 2 unreleased recordings. Packaged in a rigid double CD Box with booklet. TIP!
"Philadelphia's Charles Cohen, free-jazz improvisor and synth composer has managed to remain almost unknown outside of his local improv scene for decades. This retrospective of his early works, all recorded between 1976 & 1989 , testify to the understated genius of his work. Fleeting between polyrhythmic cosmic patterns, gravity-tarred bleeps and noise, outer-worldly melodies, all executed with unfathomable astuteness and grace, this collection showcases the breadth of this idiosyncratic electronic musician.
One of the few people to master the rare Buchla Music Easel, his work since the 1970s has focused almost exclusively on this instrument. With his first solo European tour hypnotising audiences in early 2014, his work is finally reaching a wider audience, enchanted by his mesmerizing yet deeply focused approach. His roaming raw synths, rhythmic intensity and immersive drones have resonated with uncanny familiarity for a younger generation of electronic experimentalists.
This double CD release combines all three LPs released on Morphosis' Morphine Records in 2013, excavated from Cohen's archives; "The Middle Distance" featuring his early works from the Philadelphia's 'No Man's Land' art installment, the 'University Of Texas in El Paso' and 'The Painted Bride' Art Center performances as well as "Dance of the Spiritcatchers", originally issued in 1980 on Zero Records; "Group Motion" a live recording from a dance theater piece in Philadelphia of the same name and "Generator", a live recording from Generator Sound Art Gallery in NYC (featuring the Music Easel and the even rarer Buchla 700 series, apparently the only two known recordings of this instrument ever formally released); and "Music For Dance and Theater", a further collection containing some of Cohen's collaborations and performances in theater pieces and art installations by Jeff Cain and Tonio Guerra amongst others. This selection includes two previously unreleased tracks "Conundrums" and "Slow Blue and Horizontal".
1. Club Revival Performance
2. Tubs
3. UTEP2
4. Blue Krishna
5. Bell Jar
6. Sonomama
7. Group Motion Performance
8. Velcro Dance

The Mojuba sublabel a.r.t.less is very proud to present the debut album by Detroit Techno veteran Martin Bonds aka Reel By Real. After 2010s retrospective of his most seminal work including some collaborations with Juan Atkins and Anthony Shake Shakir, these are the first new tracks under his Reel By Real moniker since almost two decades and it seems like it could have never been a better timing for it than now!

Distinct sequences of sound, noise and rhythm. "GENETOUCHE" spits fire before going into acidic arp waves. "HANA" bangs hard over a squelching bassline with seductive vocals. "POSTULATING" creates a lush wall of sound. "SYMP", emotive phasing patterns and slow harmonic rhythms.

Kumia is the title of the 13th release from International Sound Laboratory and is written and produced by ISL artist Tuomas Salmela aka Phonogenic. "Kumia" connects the sound of his previous release, "Artifacts" with the continuation of the latest developments from our Finnish collaboration laboratory in Tampere, Finland. This time we also sent a sample to specialist researcher Samuli Kemppi, who also is involved with heavy duty works on labels such as Luke Slater's Mote Evolver.

Bergstrom cuts to the chase: cavernous, reverbed chords, slicing high hats and steely snares strapped to a sinewy 909 kick, with a siren droning faintly in the
background. Four-to-the-floor Ekaterina is the fever dream of funky house: icy hats and reverbs trick out a heavily filtered synth and a heaving sample of vintage
polka. Kicking off the flip, more war: State And Revolution evokes a kind of long march beneath forbidding skies, its occasional skirmishes
between razor sharp hats and muted claps blanketed by echoing synth stabs. Finally, Damperhof draws the curtains and departs the dancefloor: a mournful,
impressionistic cello, a slow throb, a little acid, sombre chords bouncing around the ruins... this is Mirko at his most expressive.

A huge departure from his known works, Marcos Cabral appears on L.I.E.S. with his most dynamic and experimental work to date, the False Memories 2xlp.
Compiled from various cassette tape recordings spanning the years of 1998-2000, here we have the early experiments from an accomplished producer, which showcase the unharnessed energy of youth when it crashes head on with the technology of the day. The songs created by Cabral reflect his attempts of the music of the time falling somewhere in between techno, dub techno, IDM, and even noise. An engaging and timeless listen the whole way through.
words from the artist:
I recently found about three hours of my unreleased tracks from 1998-2000 on old cassette tapes. The collection that I set aside for LIES is pretty much all from 1998. During that time, I lived in upstate New York in a 3000 square foot loft with just one other friend. Both being DJ's we would use our loft for fairly large parties...Cajmere from Chicago definitely being a highlight. I knew nothing about "making" music at this time and was using this fairly primitive wav. looping program called Acid. I just started recording my crappy Roland MC-303 into my computer and would just mash loops together over and over. Listening to these tracks now, I have a really vague memory of making them, and feel that their naive nature and the happy accidents that happened here are pretty exciting to listen to.

WHEN TWO OF LONDON'S MOST ACIDIOUS DJ'S / PRODUCERS MEET, THE RESULTS ARE GOING TO BE INTERESTING, SO THE 1O MINUTE PLUS "LIVE JAM" OF B-ULTRAS IS NO DISAPPOINTMENT. Collaborations are often the fortune of timing. With Andy having moved on since closing the Dissident label to launching his Cave Paintings project to Tim's departure from Battant and striking out as Andrew Weatherall's engineer and soon to be co-member of The Asphodells, an alliance was born between the two to undertake a series of live jam sessions at each's respective studios. A love of new wave, new beat, UK Bleep and Detroit techno all feature in B-Ultras and the aptly titled, Neu Beat. Both cuts are heavily soaked in the pitch black, smoke machine funk and strob-laden fug of Andy's (and co-hort Joe Hart) infamous World Unknown dancefloor. Running at around 10 minutes the tracks are essentially an examination of acid house's ideals. Clattering hats, throbbing basslines, stabbing keys and doses of 303. Keeping it pretty simple but all about a pure groove on and on. Backing these up is a remix of B-Ultras from Jamie Paton that accentuates the groove and drags the acid deeper down to some B-boy Dub throwdown - with more to follow from all protagonists in 2014.

Sydney's dancefloor sanctuary Templar Sound reigns in a new year of club music with Atlanta's own DJ Vague (another sound and strand from the producer Helix), who constructs a 3-track highway soundtrack of muscular, drive-loop techno with Porsche Trax - ricocheting teasing bass figures, blown-out synths, and the darker hues of house into an 18-minute flare of euphoria.
From the stuttering, suffocating kicks and restless reserve of 'Porsche Trax 1' to the smoky claps that ring-in its uplifting follow-up, Porsche Trax is a reversal of the glass-edged precision of his Club Constructions releases as Helix on London label Night Slugs.
Maintaining a foreboding streak right the way through to the scanning phasers and ricketing finale of 'Porsche Trax 3', DJ Vague's inspired remit to produce for the perfect drive has proved a marbled result - splicing the physical and cerebral into a release perfectly realised for the dancefloor-driven Templar Sound
