Trance Vinyl New Releases - News

It gives me the greatest honour to finally be able to announce the release of this amazing triple vinyl masterpiece by log(m) and Laraaji on Invisible, Inc.

It's been over a decade since Laraaji first joined forces with log(m) in their Canadian studio in early 2007. In those ten years the trio recorded many hours of music. Over time these recordings, beginning essentially as live jams, were polished, dissected, processed, re-arranged and then finely and painstakingly distilled down to the 105 minutes of music that now form this album, which finally reached completion just earlier this year. The wait has been more than worth it.

The Onrush Of Eternity is a melding of minds like no other. Ever the pioneer of experimental ambience, Laraaji's signature hammered dulcimer, zither, mbira, auto harp, sruthi drone box and of course his exceedingly positive vibes are here combined with log(m)'s unique vision of gronky hi-tech psychedelic space dub. The resultant voyage into deeply meditative ambience and trance-inducing dub is as unexpected an outcome as it is a bona fide "Eureka" moment. It sounds neither like log(m) OR Laraaji....but of course like both. It is one of those rare collaborations that is, without a doubt, even greater than the sum of its already great parts.

Log(m) started making waves in the early '90s as Legion Of Green Men with their visually striking 12"s, complete with eternal opuscules (locked grooves) and mathematically inspired titles, all lovingly issued on their own Post Contemporary imprint. These deservedly got the attention of Richie Hawtin who promptly asked the duo for an album on his own classic Plus 8 Records. 20+ years later and the music (much like their name) has morphed into something more sophisticated: even more complex, atmospheric and deeper than ever.

Laraaji's reputation of course precedes him: he first came to wider attention when Brian Eno released his "Day Of Radiance" as part 3 of his Ambient Series in 1980. Since then, Laraaji has released over 40 albums, yet his stellar path seems still to be on the ascendant - a recent landmark being the 2017 "Sun" series of albums for the wonderful All Saints' Records.

This unique triple LP in tri-fold sleeve is limited to 200 copies on coloured vinyl and 300 copies on black vinyl featuring ten of log(m)'s signature eternal opuscules and cryptic engravings on all three discs.

Jacques Greene kehrt mit seiner ersten offiziellen Musik seit seinem Debütalbum "Feel Infinite" (2017) zurück - eine Platte, die mit zahlreichen Auszeichnungen und Nachahmungen den Zeitgeist eingefangen hat. "Fever/Focus" ist eine brandneue 6-Track-EP, aufgeteilt auf zwei 12" Vinyle, die seine bisher beste Musik enthält: eine Fusion aus analogem und digitalem House und Techno mit einer verstärkten melodischen Sensibilität. Auf der Lead-Single 'Avatar Beach' hören wir schimmernden gebrochenen Trance und das frühe Tech-House der späten 90er Jahre gestreckt und zurückgedreht in eine brandneue Electronica.

Opaq Is Back With A Various Artists Featuring All The Members Of The Crew. Be Ready For A New Smasher!

Taking on a true trance classic and a personal favorite of his, Len Faki takes us back to the golden era of big melodies and early raves, sharing two very distinct interpretations of Firedance by Odyssee of Noises, the prolific production outfit helmed by Ralf Hildenbeutel. Originally released in 1994 on legendary label Eye Q, this track marked a special period for Faki, when he was fully immersing himself into the scene, and accompanied him through his most formative times as a dancer and a becoming DJ.Brimming with the iconic elation of those nights, side A keeps with the emotive theme of the original's Sunrise version, tweeking only slightly to cater for the needs of these days' dancers. Re-shaping the classic to match modern productions for it to be mixed with current bangers, Faki packs the tune's anthemic appeal into a propulsive ride down memory lane...

[D B2 | No Borders (Theme of Age of Love)

The Lyon imprint Hard Fist strikes again with the collaborative Princes of Abzu EP, federating producers hailing from multiple horizons.

Although they may belong to different geographical spaces (London, Moscow, Amman, Tokyo, Paris...), the artists gathered in the EP share a common love for middle-eastern sounds and their transcendantal powers, which they mix with cosmic industrial beats, creating mystical imaginary landscapes, as if beduins were organising a pagan rave in a Düsseldorf factory. In addition with the producers, many musicians took part in this project, like for instance Mejwez's player Abu Sayah and Hervé Carvalho from Acid Arab who play in Semsemeh.

A hedonist move, caring more about vibes and feelings than borders and nationalities. Referring to a mythological source that is the sea to every river, Princes of Abzu is a drop in a global culture expanding its currents to infinity.

The opening track Place du Pont made by the two label heads Cornelius Doctor and Tushen Raï is built on a heavy hypnotic / electro bassline heightened with voices samples & oriental Oud sounds giving it a trippy flavor.

Halay is the fruit of a collaboration between Parisians Ko-Shi-Moon and Moscovites Simple Symmetry. The track (remixed by Cornelius Doctor) tells the tale of the Halay dancers reveling in circle, exhilarated by an industrial groove while strange synthetic voices whisper.

In the middle of the EP, J.A.K.A.M releases the tension and brings a meditative note. Jazzy yet exhilarating, Tribes sounds like a road trip in the desert while the sun is rising.

Producer and percussionist Shadi Khries is also inspired by the desert, one place in particular : Wadi Rum, in his home country Jordan. He mixes traditional instruments like semsemeh (which gives its name to the track) bouzouki and oud, with electronic acid textures that makes it perfect for the club.

Finally, Timothy Clerkin's track is a meeting of two his favourite worlds : guitar-based psychedelic music & dark, mechanical acid - all covered with a film of Eastern smoke, hypnotized by the tablas running relentlessly. Listening to the track is supposed to feel a bit like you're trying to wade through drying cement, somewhere in a dystopian future, industrial factory in the Middle East, obviously.

DJ, musician, former saxophonist - there's a combination of skills you don't get to see too often. Get acquainted with DEMIAN, then, aka Damien Pontonnier, a French artist who relocated to Paris after an influential career as

electronic music pioneer and party organizer in Northern Spain. Now an accomplished producer with releases on labels such as Correspondant or Clouded Vision, he presents the MILESTARS EP for Kompakt - a quirky and vibrant track trio with an obvious knack for catchy melodic details in a kinetic techno corsage.

Having amassed quite the experience portfolio when it comes to grassroots club culture, DEMIAN knows a thing or two about inspiring a dance floor - but that doesn't necessarily account for the artistic versatility or genuine lust for sonic adventures and happy accidents that these cuts exhibit: opener DÉCLICA boots with deliciously stoic cowbell-isms that leave the doors of perception wide open for some iconoclastic, yet surprisingly effective synth action.

Meanwhile, the title cut invests in texture-rich atmosphere without forgetting about the precise amount of momentum you need to tip the floor over the edge. Closer NO HYPE FOR THE FISH takes things in a more hypnotic direction, intertwining freeform arpeggios and tape delay with smart beatmanship. Simultaneously lush and lean in its overall aesthetic, the MILESTARS EP will feed both the nerd and the dancer in you - a swiss army knife with all the right tools for masterful crowd control.

Composer, musician, visual artist and performer, Charlemagne Palestine is a legendary figure in the New York underground scene. At the piano or on his electronic oscillators, this outsider of skilful music experiments with the principles of resonance and repetition in a quest for the 'golden sound': the ultimate harmonic vibration. Based in Brussels for 20 years now, his iconic work consisting of teddy bears, divinities and other enchanting encounters is now exhibited in BOZAR (AA SSCHMMETTRROOSSPPECCTIVVE, 18 May - 26 August 2018). For the occasion, Charlemagne Palestine also presents two exceptional musical performances at the Kunstenfestivaldesarts Published on the occasion of Charlemagne's AA-SSCHMMETTRROOSSPPECCTIVVE exhibition, audioMER. is proud to present historical piano recordings dating from circa 1974. They were played on a Bösendorfer model 220, regarded by some as the 'Rolls Royce' of pianos, at Charlemagne's 64 North Moore Street studio, Tribeca in New York.The music here represents Charlemagne's infamous 'strumming' technique, which he describes himself in a 2002 interview with Perfect Sound Forever as follows: 'My first piano music resembles impressionists like Debussy or Ravel but it's played through four or five hours, including some little arpeggios and played over and over again in thousands of different ways... Later on, I began to see that I'd played the piano like a flamenco guitar, that many overtones could change and the music that came out had a density and verticality - thanks to the overtones - which was extraordinary.'Together with the book this vinyl record celebrates the career of a prolific artist in word, image and sound. A result of an intense collaboration between the artist, BOZAR and MER. Paper Kunsthalle/audioMER.
Biography: Charlemagne Palestine was born Chaim Moshe Palestine in Brooklyn, New York of a Jewish immigrant family from Odessa and Minsk in 1947. At six years old he started to sing traditional Jewish cantorial music in the synagogue.
At the New York University, he began composing electronic music at the NYU Electronic Music Studio run by Morton Subotnick where he worked with electronic synthesizer oscillators and filters which he would name 'Spectral Continuum'. Later Subotnick invited him in 1969 to relocate to Los Angeles and participate in the creation of a new radical school for multimedia, arts, music, dance and theatre known as the California Institute of the Arts. There he met happening artist inventor Allan Kaprow, video pioneer Nam June Paik, avant-garde composer James Tenney, fluxus artists Emmett Williams, Dick Higgins, Alison Knowles and Judson Dance Theatre member and artist Simone Forti with whom Palestine created a unique music and dance form called 'Illuminations' in 1970, which they have continued to perform irregularly over the last 45+ years even just recently at Centre Pompidou, Paris and MoMA, New York. At Cal Arts he developed many different practices: electronic and acoustic sound works, body performance art, video art and multimedia installations. With Forti he was invited for the first time to Europe to perform in a festival in Rome in 1972 where he met La Monte Young, Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Terry Riley. With his revolutionary solo piano work 'Strumming Music', he was included in the new musical trend known as 'Minimal Music'. In 1974 Karel Geirlandt and Hergé come from Brussels to visit his studio in Soho, New York, and invite him to inaugurate Geirlandt's recent appointment as director of the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels. In November of that year Charlemagne performs a legendary 2½ hour solo installation / concert in Horta Hall on a Viennese Bösendorfer Imperial piano surrounded by his entourage of animal toy divinities that in the early seventies began to become his trademark, sacred alter-egos that later will become a new art form in themselves. He begins to use the term 'CharleWorld' for his total artistic presentations. By the early eighties, he began to do less performances and videos and devoted himself to creating large stuffed animal divinity altars inspired by his earlier sacred alter-ego travel divinities and the historical iconic 'Teddy Bear' animal toy that was invented in the same neighborhood where he was born in Brooklyn in 1902 by Rose and Morris Michtom, Jewish immigrants from the same region and background as his own grandparents. With Steiff company he built a 6 meter high GodBear/BuddhaBear outdoor sculpture in real mohair for Documenta 8 in Kassel, Germany in 1987.In the early nineties he started to be contacted by a whole new generation of musicians (Pan Sonic, Michael Gira etc...), performers and artists (Body By Body at Levy.Delval in 2014), who convince him to come back to the international scene, after some years of retreat, and with now a new audience and new presentation opportunities he begins the next chapter in his work and life and starts again to perform and create a new 'Gesamtkunst', a new 'CharleWorld'.

Multisound production experience. Dancefloor weapon.

Vocal trance
Yes.
But probably not as you would imagine.
Here is Friday Dunard from Cologne.

"Dream Machine" is an unreleased track or even more a - pop' song people have been talking about for some months now not knowing what it is called and where to get it.
Dominik Eulberg has been playing it in his sets and it has created a big stir on Soundcloud and in the fan community so we are releasing the track now on a limited one side colored vinyl.
"Dream Machine" was written together with talented German musician Essáy who has a career for himself and together they have written this club hymn!

The release manifests in a clear transparent vinyl, with minimal information on the etiquette and is sold in a plastic bag including separate artwork by Miro D'Oro. This features a hand drawn vision of how a Dream Machine could look like for Dominik and Essáy.

Music wise the "Dream Machine's" captivating quality is it's compelling friendliness. The track is good Karma full stop and we see the track also as an extension of what Dominik has been writing in the last years developing his own style left-field of the techno universe.
That the track turned out so smooth incorporating a flute and floating beat which is very untypical for Dominik is certainly due to Essáy personality to create a wonderful smooth feeling with his music.

the new suuuuuuuuuuuuuupersmasher by deadmau5 is out !!! squeekin electro sounds with phat basslines and great effects !!! that's what we call a must have !!! repressed !!!

+ Don't Stop

Noplace is an improvised collaboration between Aidan Baker (Nadja / Caudal / B/B/S/), Simon Goff (Molecular, Bee & Flower) and Thor Harris (Swans, Shearwater, Thor & Friends).
Having known each other for a number of years and previously contributed to one another's recordings this trio finally came together as a whole on May 7th 2017 at Redrum Studios in Berlin. In a short, improvised session of just a few hours they set about laying down as much material as possible which was then subsequently edited and re-worked (without overdubs) to form this album.
The same evening the trio played together as part of a 9-piece Thor & Friends ensemble which also included Christopher Hefner (on musical saw) whose artwork graces the cover of the record and gave it its name.
Noplace is a hypnotic and deep listen. Kinetic rhythms pulsate throughout whilst the guitar and violin jostle and weave around the metronomic beats, creating a cathartic and all-encompassing experience. The very nature of the instrumental repetitions give it an immediate avant/krautrock feel but the whole record is coated in a wonderful psychedelic atmosphere that's both melodic, textured and innovative.
Without doubt a perfect marriage and the sum of its parts. You would be forgiven for thinking Noplace took years to craft but that's testament to three excellent musicians who have produced a real treat of a record. Broken down into seven pieces but very much best enjoyed as a thrilling whole, Noplace is a powerful and highly addictive album.

the new supersmasher by deadmau5 !!! now repressed !!!

10"

Marc Romboy presents his upcoming album "Voyage de la planète" his first solo full-length production in over eight years. Released on his newly launched Hyperharmonic label, Voyage de la Plantète signifies an exciting new chapter for Marc as he experiments with his sound - pushing the boundaries between classical and electronic music to create both an emotional and atmospheric experience.
The first impression of this new sound can be heard on this 10", the album opener "Monde futuristewhich blends together beautiful strings and soft flittering synths. While "Monde futuriste" merges the beauty of the violine played by Miki Kekenj and electronic arrangments, "Voyage de la planète" mixes the two mediums together with fluttering synths and a somber string quartet.
Inspired by a concert with the Dortmund Philharmonic Orchestra where he performed Claude Debussy works in a contemporary way, this 10" and the album signify the start of a new chapter for Marc Romboy. Combining the strange, fascinating sounds of electronic music with the sublime beauty of classical music to create an extraordinary sonic experience for the listener.

Reworkings of classic tracks just wouldn't be the same without an accompanying vinyl release.
On this 12" we've selected three sublime cuts to fill out the grooves and deliver the ultimate listening experience.

Side A features Jones & Stephenson - The First Rebirth (Charlotte de Witte Remix) which offers a raid on the senses thanks to Charlotte's contemporary take. Expect sizzling melodies and a driving Techno groove. Side B1 holds Lefto's remix of Thunderball - Bonzai Channel One which dishes out a pumping tech fuelled vibe full of scathing synths and that iconic vocal we all know and love, one for the big events here. B2 features probably the most unique of all the reworkings. Stuff gives us their Bonzai Tribute Mix which is a sublime mash-up between Blue Alphabet - Cybertrance and Cherrymoon Trax - The House Of House. Mostly done with live instruments, this quintet have certainly captured the essence of those early tracks.
A seminal track that personifies Bonzai's stance in the electronic music world.
