As the world catches on to the music and live performances of Klartraum duo Nadja Lind & Helmut Ebritsch, the pair look to the release of their deep yet wonderfully eclectic second album 'Secret moon'...

Berlin based Nadja Lind & Helmut Ebritsch have been working together for over five years now, but it is in the last twelve months that the duo's Klartraum project has really come to prominence. Both Nadja & Helmut have a solid musical history recording for the likes of Darkroom Dubs, Soma & Morris Audio yet it is through their shared musical output that they have really captured the imagination, producing deep and moving electronic music that fuses elements of techno, house and electronica.

Out of the studio the duo have taken their sound on the road, performing as Klartraum live at London's Fabric, the infamous Ukrainian festival Kazantip and Goa's renowned Shanti club to rave reviews and rapturous response. In the coming months they will also be appearing at dates in Australia and across Europe.

'Secret Moon' is a rich and diverse collection of tracks that reflect Klartraum's journey since the release of their debut LP, 'Evolution' in 2011. From the opening atmospheric ambient recording of 'Berlin Intro' it's clear that this is not to be a straight-laced 'club' album but rather a body of work that ebbs and flows through styles and sounds with little regard for genre. Downtempo cuts such as the breakbeat based 'Something Wrong' or the off kilter 'Universe' add a depth and variety to the mix yet Klartraum's production skill and musical sensibilities work to make the album work as a whole. There is a deep hypnotizing feel to this whole album, keeping you locked into the experience as the album progresses. Tracks such as the epic 'Secret Moon' and the sublime 'Sell Your Soul' have an almost cinematic feel to them; drawn out, spacious and mesmerizing. Klartraum's 2011 debut was a real achievement but 'Secret Moon' takes things to the next level with a strength and energy that is tempered with an audible maturity of production.

Nadja Lind & Helmut Ebritsch have their own way of creating music, making much of both their spiritual leanings and their hands of approach to 'jamming' out tracks live. Whatever it is that drives them it certainly works, for Klartraum are rapidly becoming an act that cannot ignored, making great music and taking it to the world via their passionate live performance. Long may it last

New Analog Response 12" vinyl output has been composed by the italian artist Hydergine, a young guy clearly inspired by Basic Channel / Maurizio dub techno sounds, and a wide range of influences in the house/techno/bass fields.
After practicing in music production for years, he first released a 12" on the german label Separate Skills which rapidly sold out, leaving a strong mark in the dub-tech scene.
Recently, the austrian label Phlox showed another fine Hydergine release on translucent blue 12" vinyl,matching the taste of big names like Francois Kevorkian, Laurent Garnier, Brendon Moeller, Kirk Degiorgio, Anton Zap, Terry Francis, Roman Fluegel, Ethyl, Slam, Franklin De Costa, John Osborn and more.

Stamped White Label
You might remember Shan from his one-sided Sven-Väth-approved hit 'How You Want It' for Frankfurt's newly founded label The Healing Company. Here he is with his monolithic 'Chord Memories". An evocation of what dubbed out house and techno tracks usually do, but to a rather unusual and - if we dare say - devastating effect. The flip holds three short and direct cuts with leanings to the A-Side and one acid track. Necessary ruffness.

This release was born of a cross country trip with an 808 drum machine by Manchester and Sankey's Soap residents Jozef K and Winter Son as they join Perseus Traxx to hammer electricity out of machines With it's rimshots and claps and other transistor rhythms reverberating across vast distances of space, side A is stripped back and deep from the outset, pushing forward as scattered tones, arpeggiations and djointed voices leave their trails vanishing from perception. Side B tightens up from the previous reverbs and throws acid into the mix, as the two join Perseus Traxx and the sound becomes more raw and urgent as the three of them jam on their chosen machines.




Winter Son - Made With Black Energy

Originally released in 1986, Off The Beaten Track still sounds forward thinking, forging a new middle ground between dub and electronic music.
Programmed chants and unexpected sounds (barking dogs, breaking glass, gypsy violin loops) are dropped onto a fluid rhythmic bed. A landmark recording in the integration of sampling technology and live instrumentation.
Features contributions from Jah Wobble (Public Image Limited), Skip McDonald (Sugarhill Gang/Tackhead) and Albert Einstein (the theory of relativity)!
Re-cut at dubplates & mastering in Berlin for maximum bass pressure.
Includes printed inner with sleevenotes by Steve Barker (On The Wire), and download card for full album.

Chilli Space 11 is a compilation of the freshest sub-alpine electronic music from Slovenia.

Finest Dub Techno from Andy Stott. Limited to 700 copies worldwide

Recorded in the immediate aftermath of his last EP "Passed Me By", this new doublepack from Andy Stott features six new productions that are more desolate and exposed than anything on its predecessor.

Clear Vinyl

Andy Stott’s classic bout of screwed, knackered House is a shapeshifting, hardy perennial whose crushing traction and atmospheric grip has only deepened in the decade (+1) since it was first issued, as part of a now notorious one-two in 2011 beside ‘Passed Me By’. Out of print for almost a decade, it’s now finally available again in a new edition that’s still sounding unlike pretty much anything else we’ve heard in the intervening years.

’We Stay Together’ was a proper watershed moment for Andy Stott in the nascent phase of an inspirational stylistic arc. While he’d spent the previous six years constructing everything from warehouse-shuddering deep house and dub techno to bare-boned dubstep, the arrival of a new decade paid witness to Stott turning inward, collapsing what he’d learnt from late night sessions with the Modern Love crew into a radical new sound that was arguably without precedent in its field.

The simple move of screwing the tempo to circa 100BPM would, in turn, open out his sound, prising room between the rhythms which he coloured with a palette of particularly bruised, processed outside-the-box textures gleaned from an array of guitar pedals and endlessly churned samples. There were, of course, parallels in DJ Screw’s codeine-infused treatments of classic rap and soul, and their influence on the contemporaneous “witch house” style, but few, if any, were doing it within a techno and club music context that hewed so close to the darker, gristlier underbelly and animus of Manchester’s warehouse heritage. This style of viscous, cranky chug proved fertile ground that would be explored in-depth over the next decade - you can hear traces of it on everything from Overmono’s sludge to Low’s acclaimed 'Double Negative’ - and trust when we say it’s the source of it all. But, still, nothing twats quite as smart or heavy as ‘We Stay Together’.

From an opening that uncannily echoes the rinsed-out empty warehouse scenes in the closing stages of ‘Fioriucci Made Me Hardcore’, the serotonin-depleted ’Submission’ triggers a side-chained momentum that helplessly drags users thru the gnarly mire of ‘Posers’ to the zombied lurch of ‘Bad Wires’ and its title tune’s ket-legged strut. He pushes the aesthetics to asphyxiating degrees on ‘Cherry Eye’, but not without a glimmer of hope in its underwater choral motifs that always buoys his best bits from utter doom, before ‘Cracked’ stresses the metallic tang of his textures with a bloodlust and vital, systolic throb whose effect has only been galvanised with age.

More killer previously unreleased Barry Brown from Channel 1, from early '80s sessions that at one point were slated to make up his aborted second LP for the label.

After 15 years of full time dedication to the deejing art, Kristina launches out herself with her own label Amsafe Records (12inch + digital).
The idea of The label was born at the beginning of Kristina's career as a mandatory necessity, and her vision to create her own productions.
Amsafe Records will launch, in a 6 month time frame, the 2 first eps. One of them, the 'TRAXX1' will be available to purchase in 30 days. Triple Vision Distribution (NL) will be charge in of its worldwide distribution.
'TRAXX1' will be composed of three cuts that taken as a whole is 12inch, solid and with retro reminiscences.
On the A face we will find 'Dark Sinhoutte'. It is a track materialized with a progressive and incessant acid sound, assemble in a 3X4 chachis that reminds those first Proper NYC discs productions launched by Steve Stoll in the 90'. On face B the cuts are introduced by themselves with some roots and influences of Dub.
On the A1, 'Absolute' keeps in itself such influence, more reinforced with delays and arrangements that sometimes, recalls to Retro-techno sounds to finally give way for an emotional and synthetic line that reveals Kristina's influences from Electro.

On the A2, 'Frictional x/mix version', it shows up as a more lineal track characterized by the subtlety of the changes and the dynamism that converges at the end as a track with minimalistic characteristics. Some Congas and Toms, embellishes this track A2, without hesitation, it is a very useful track designed for more versatile sessions.

Tom returns to Run Out Run after his latest offering on Anthony Parasole's 'The Corner' with four cuts of his distinct take on Techno and House...

Limited release on chocolate brown vinyl

Delsin present a new EP by B12 aka Steve Rutter entitled Orbiting Souls, a name which comes from the fact the veteran artist has recently spent contemplating the loss of a friend and believes we are surrounded by lost souls and spirits. This is B12's second EP this year following on from the Bokide 325 release on Soma Records and comes years after still acclaimed album like Electro-Soma and TimeTourist on Warp Records back in the 90s. Orbiting Souls is a somewhat complex journey, a representation of inner Bi Polar opposites; isolation; sadness, but also acknowledging the great and wonderful things around that swirl and support and energise us. A perfectly formed sound world that is both absorbing and cerebral and comes with a full colour sleeve by Boris Tellegen.
