Bobby Digital can be considered a comic book superhero, fighting evil in both the physical realm and the virtual world of cyberspace, achieving a "meta" reality long before Facebook thought to trademark the term." - rap revies 2022 2022 release. The founding member of the multimedia supergroup, The Wu-Tang Clan, introduced the world to his alter-ego in his 1998 album Bobby Digital in Stereo.

2023 Repress

First time on vinyl. 'Environments' is generally regarded as 'the great lost album' by The Future Sound Of London. It has taken on almost mythical status with the group's fan base. 'Environments' was due for release much sooner after the 1993 release of the UK Top 10 album hit 'Lifeforms', and only now is it being released - back on the group's original home, Jumpin' and Pumpin' Records.
This release also comes after the recent success of the Archive series which has so far sold over 20,000 units across the different volumes and still climbing.

To re-cap, Brian Dougans and Garry Cobain began their musical partnership and friendship in Manchester, England in the mid 1980s whilst the two were studying at Manchester University. Dougans had already been making electronic music for some time when they first began working in various local clubs. In 1988, Brian embarked on a project for the Stakker graphics company. The result was Stakker Humanoid.
In the following three years the pair produced music under a variety of aliases, followed by the breakthrough classic ambient dub track Papua New Guinea in 1992, which was also the first release under the Future Sound of London moniker.

New Digital Fidelity has been making sweet moves recently with a debut on the lauded Moods & Grovers label out of Detroit followed up by a single on his own Scopic Records. Now he brings his class to Beachside and again shows off his love of Detroit house vibes. Opener 'Crush On The Beachside' is raw and intense with humid chords and jacked-up drums, then 'Shattered' brings more loose and jumbled beatdown grooves and 'Crush On The Beachside' (K15 remix) is then bubbly, jazzy and cuddly. 'Cracking' rounds out with more rich chord work and bristling drum funk.

Nachdem der französische Pianist und Producer sich mit 'O', dem ersten Album (2020 auf Mercury) einer elektronischen Symphonie widmete, kehrt LAAKE mit 'VOLT' zurück, mit einem umfangreichen und sonnigen Werk vollkommen contrair zur Entwicklung der aktuellen elektronischen Musik- Szene. Die Piano-Loops, eine der musikalischen Speerspitzen des Musikers, kollidieren mit Percussions und Drums in einer progressiven und treibenden Sintflut. Die Energie des Albums bewegt sich mühelos zwischen elektronischen und klassischen Dimensionen und flirtet mit Orgelklängen, kraftvollen Bässen und polyphonen Stimmen. Aufgenommen mit 10 Musikern aus der Klassik- und Jazzwelt zwischen Paris und Brüssel, folgen die 10 Titel des Albums einem Konzept, ohne sich zu wiederholen.

For this latest EP, Sneak serves up four brand new original productions, straight up jackin’, groove-laden house bumpers that we’ve come to expect from the mind of a master.

Satamile Records deliver once more! old school gritty electro by the prolific Boris divider.

Gjon's Tears steht seit seiner Jugend sowohl in Frankreich als auch in der Schweiz im Rampenlicht. Er hat Singles für seine immer größer werdende Fangemeinde veröffentlicht. Ganz zu schweigen von 'Tout l'univers', das er zum Eurovision Song Contest beigetragen hat, den dritten Platz belegte, und bereits gewaltige 55 Millionen Streams gesammelt hat. Er war somit seit 2010 der erste französischsprachige Künstler, der die Schweiz vertrat. 'Pure', sein neuster Track, produziert von Nicolas Rebscher (Alice Merton, Aurora...) und sein opulent gestaltetes Musikvideo im Stil von Bowie, Bjork und The Cure war u.a. Vorreiter für diese erste LP des Künstlers . 'The Game' erscheint im stilvollen Digipak mit Poster sowie als Doppel-LP im Milky Clear Vinyl.

For their second EP Linale Records have dug out two tracks from the Australian production team of Andy Rantzen, Paul McDermott and Anthony Maher. Previously only released on separate CDs in 1997, these tracks have been newly remastered and are available for the first time together on vinyl, presented alongside a brand new rework of Digital Rubber by fellow Aussie Rudolf C.

Paolo Aniello FKA New Digital Fidelity returns one final time since his last appearance on Italian Synth Planetarium – Sistema 1 in 2020 and readies some serious and sexy goodness for 2023.

“Gonna Touch The Sky” marks his debut on Moods & Grooves and there is no doubt that it will literally make you touch the sky! The EP opens with the reshape from none other than deep house legend Fred P. When it come to (ultra) deep house beautiness, Fred is the real don. Melodic, dreamy and groovy. Simply what you would expect from him and what he does best.

To follow is the original mix, awash in syncopated tribal rhythms, gorgeous female vocals and a rich tapestry of ethereal pad. “Gonna Touch The Sky” is a dancefloor-pleasing Afro house cut à-la Ron Trent/Trinidadian Deep featuring Sasha Paige on lead vocal and Rhia Reneè on background vocals that bubble over a deep, tribal groove.

On the flip, “Make Up Your Mind” takes tribal rhythms to a new, more mental level. It’s an Afro-Chi-meets-Detroit affair. The percussive rhythms and energy that constantly interplays with the synth line create an uplifting basement tune that could safely run at opening, peak time, or closing time. Last but not least, “Horizon” speaks for itself. It will definitely transport you to new horizons, toward a tropical beach at sunset, closing this incredible journey.

Nach der Veröffentlichung ihres ersten Albums 2018 ging das französische Duo auf Welttournee zu Festivals und ausverkauften Hallen. In ihrer Musik mixen The Blaze Einflüsse aus Dub, House und Popmusik. Sowohl Guillaume als auch Jonathan Alric singen auf einigen der Tracks. Als Einflüsse für ihre anspruchsvollen Musikvideos nennen sie die Regisseure Ken Loach, Jean-Pierre und Luc Dardenne sowie den Fotografen Sebastião Salgado. Bereits von ihrer Debüt-EP 'Territory' konnte das damals noch unbekannte Duo aus dem Stand einige Hundert Einheiten auf Vinyl verkaufen!
Guillaume und Jonathan Alric haben ihr neues Album 'Jungle' mit dieser Live-Perspektive komponiert und aufgenommen: introspektive, elektronische Musik, getragen von Bildern und Melodien, die immer voller Emotionen sind. Im Rahmen einer Tour gastieren sie u.a. in der renommierten O2 Academy Brixton als auch im Berliner Velodrom, das bereits jetzt ausverkauft ist. Die beiden bereits vorab veröffentlichten und visuell perfekt umgesetzten Singles 'Eyes' und 'Dreamer' sind Vorboten eines von vielen Fans anspruchsvoller elektronischer Musik erwarteten Albums.

Beide Versionen, LP als auch CD erscheinen mit einem bedruckten Slipcase (CD) bzw. bedrucktem PVC-Outer Sleeve (LP).

Scopic Records - a new UK label which aims to "bring newcomers and artists with backgrounds, regardless of their background or gender" - launches with a single by its founder New Digital Fidelity in collaboration with singer Monet. We get three nicely different mixes of 'Getting Colder' in all. The A-side is taken up by the club mix, a classic New York deep house groove with chunky pianos chords and Monet's confident vocal performance. The flip begins with the original, a slower version but still effortlessly groovy, bringing its soul, jazz, and R&B influences to the fore. US techno's man of the moment Byron the Aquarius completes the set by turning the track inside out with shuffling hats, snapping machinefunk snares and a bubbling bass, making it even more impressive by exposing its moving parts and giving them a neat polish.

The only known EP released by Sick Hardcore, a project of Florence based Franco Falsini, the founder of Kaos Records, an important outlet for the Florentine 90s scene. “Digital Justice” is a collection of 4 proto rave dancefloor oriented tracks featuring sample based sounds over heavily percussive patterns of rhythm with an overall darker tone. Sometimes bordering EBM and New-Beat sentiments, yet also touching upon more progressive sounds and breakbeat elements. In addition to the original release's tracklist is a secret unreleased (more contemporary sounding) version of “Clinic Rhythm” which might have been put together by Franco himself more recently – hard to tell, but sure to impact any dancefloor for the better. Generously remastered for big room action.

Charlie Winston verkaufte mit seinem Debütalbum HOBO weltweit über eine Million Alben und erhielt für "Like a Hobo" in Frankreich eine Diamantene Schallplatte und für "Running Still" Platin.
As I Am, das fünfte Album von Charlie Winston, entstand in einer ganz besonderen Situation: hinter verschlossenen Türen und unter dem ständigen Gebot der sozialen Distanzierung und der Einhaltung von Präventionsmaßnahmen. Ein glückliches Paradoxon, denn der englische Sänger tritt hier ohne Maske auf und war eigentlich nie ein Freund der Selbstentblößung.
Der Titel des Albums?hat für Charlie den Wert eines Mantras: "Es ist eine Art, mich daran zu erinnern, wer ich jetzt bin, und dass Loslassen nicht gleichbedeutend mit Aufgeben ist", sagt der Mann, der 2009 mit dem Hit?Like A Hobo?für Furore sorgte und eine starke folk- und rockmusikalische Identität offenbarte.
Ebenso bahnbrechend wird As I Am durch die ebenso unerwartete wie fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit mit dem französischen Superstar und Hitmacher Vianney.

The Hunna kehren mit ihrem vierten Studioalbum „The Hunna“ zurück. Das erste selbstbetitelte Album der Band ist eine Ansage - die Band wird neue Höhen erklimmen!

Birthed from the creative and genre-bending New York DIY scene, L.O.T.I.O.N. Multinational Corporation has become one of the most exciting bands of the underground - gaining notoriety for their unique brand of industrial cyberpunk and intense live shows. Masterminded by visual artist Alexander Heir, the group has gained recognition internationally for their fiercely political lyricism and striking visual aesthetic. Blending noisy electronics with live instrumentation, the band draws inspiration from the harsh minimal electronic music of Detroit and the thrashing riffs of hardcore punk. Following their last LP World Wide W.E.B from 2019, W.A.R. In The Digital Realm delves even further into their techno-dystopian universe fusing elements of D-Beat with EBM and 90s Rave. Do You Want To Die In World War III???

Mit seinem neuen Album beschreitet der Pianist Yaron Herman ganz neue Wege.

Nachdem er bereits zehn Alben veröffentlicht hat, lässt er sich ins Leere fallen und bietet erstmals ein Korpus völlig improvisierter Musik - einen verblüffenden Schnappschuss und einen lebendigen Spiegel seiner Vergangenheit. Das Klavier wird damit zum Mittelpunkt umfassenderen Nachdenkens, ein Gefährte, der dabei hilft, die Geheimnisse der Welt zu lüften. Dieser schöpferische, vielseitige und atypische Werdegang steht im Hintergrund einer begeisternden, großherzigen globalen Reflexion, die er kürzlich in einem früheren Werk durchführte.
Ohne irgendein Konzept im Hinterkopf überlässt er sich völlig dem, was die Musik zu sagen hat; er eröffnet Räume, in denen er selbst noch nicht war. Improvisieren heißt in Echtzeit Komponieren. Beim Komponieren ist die erste Geste - das, was man manchmal "Inspiration" nennt - improvisiert.
Auf diese Weise konzise und kunstvoll aufgebaute Stücke zu konstruieren, Melodien zu erfinden, die sich gemäß einer in Echtzeit entstehenden Logik entwickeln, ist ein unendlich komplexer Vorgang. Er setzt eine außergewöhnliche Erfindungs- und Konzentrationskraft voraus, einen Sinn für die Gegenwart, der mit Offenheit für die Zukunft gepaart ist, ohne die keine Entwicklung möglich ist. 'Alma' ist eine seltene Aufforderung, ein innerer Tanz, der uns sehr weit mit sich führt, eine sensorische Reise, zu der der Hörer eingeladen ist, und eine tiefe Emotion, die ihn nie loslässt.

Mit über 20 Millionen verkauften Alben weltweit, unzähligen Auszeichnungen und einer Karriere, die sich nicht nur über mehrere Genres erstreckt, sondern auch deren Verlauf geprägt hat, sind QUEENSRYCHE nach wie vor eine Größe für sich. "Digital Noise Alliance", das 16. Studioalbum von QUEENSRYCHE und das vierte unter der Leitung von Gründungsgitarrist Michael Wilton, Sänger Todd LaTorre und Bassist Eddie Jackson, setzt das sich ständig weiterentwickelnde Vermächtnis der aus Bellvue, Washington, stammenden Band fort, das 1982 mit ihrer viel beachteten, selbstbetitelten 4-Song-EP begann. Ihre jüngste US-Tournee mit Judas Priest bewies, dass die Zeit, welche die Band abseits der Straße und im Studio verbrachte, ihren Ehrgeiz und ihr Feuer nur weiter anheizte. "Digital Noise Alliance", das erneut mit Produzent Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed) eingespielt wurde, blickt nicht nur auf die vergangenen Erfolge von QUEENSRYCHE zurück, sondern auch in die Zukunft der Band: Vom frenetischen Opener "In Extremis" über das nachdenkliche "Forest" bis hin zu "Behind The Walls", das an QUEENSRYCHE-Klassiker und genreprägende Alben wie "Operation: Mindcrime" und "Empire" erinnert. "Digital Noise Alliance" ist QUEENSRYCHE, die mühelos all ihre Stärken ausspielen - unmittelbar und zum Nachdenken anregend. Durch und durch QUEENSRYCHE eben.

Erstmals als Tape erhältlich: der 1980er Synth-Punk-Klassiker der Units aus San Francisco, neben Suicide und Devo die US-Electro-Avantgarde der Post-Punk/New-Wave-Ära. Das remastered Album erscheint in limitierter Auflage als rotes Tape im Schuber mit Obi-Strip.

Shouting Heavy downtempo Breakcore to Speed Break Hardcore Indus... Legendary LP !

Another excellent DHR Limited... Dancefloor matter !

Back in 1998, RZA had already cemented his status as Wu-Tang Clan's man behind the boards, producing the entirety of the group's respective solo albums - When it came to his own breakout moment, the producer opted to introduce the world to Bobby Digital, a cartoonish, hedonistic mad-rapping alter ego and grew so fond of the character that he released another album under the moniker before finally delivering 2003's Birth of a Prince as the RZA.

Now it seems Bobby Digital is back in the picture and potentially set to square up with his host New album RZA vs. Bobby Digital features the hard- hitting single, Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater. According to a press release, DJ Scratch handles production on the album. "Giving Scratch the reins as a producer and me taking the reins as an MC, that's what frees me up creatively and lets me play more with lyrical gags and lyrical flows because I don't have to be focused on everything", RZA explained in a statement.

Another certified classic of an EP gets a much-deserved reissue. This time the fabled G.O.D alias of Grant Nelson and Simon Firmin aka 24 Hour Experience, with the first of their sough-after Limited series. Three ’94 UKG heaters - raw, raucous, soulful and bumping just how you want it. Remastered from the original DAT’s and working just as well as now as they did back in the day. Grab a slice of history right here.

Her enchanting works of art include murals and canvases as well as magical masks.

REDSHARK was founded in 2012 in Barcelona - Spain, by Philip Graves (guitar) with the aim of delivering Classic Pounding Heavy Speed Metal. Their traditional 80s metal influences may plunder the nostalgia circuit but REDSHARK are ruthlessly carrying the torch with great attitude, and powerful melodic songwriting. The band had their full line up fixed in 2013 with Javier Bono on 2nd guitar, Mark Striker on drums, Chris Carrest on bass, and Pau Correas on vocals. Their debut official release "Evil Realm" ep came out in 2019 and showed the band pushing the velocity further. Those intense five songs drew a roaring response and helped to spread REDSHARK name nationwide and abroad. REDSHARK have since honed their gloriously raw yet precisely incisive, dark, catchy and addictive speed heavy metal crunch staying faithful to their original influences taken from undisputed metal legends like Judas Priest, Savatage, Exciter and Metal Church. The band's albums front cover concepts look entertaining with their comic book type of artworks depicting a mad red human shark on a killing spree. It also represents the band's out for blood impulse in churning out those hard hitting riffs and also refers to their energetic live performances. That redshark is obviously the band's mascot. In 2021, they composed and recorded their full length debut album 'Digital Race’. It was produced by Jaume Perna (Jack Dark) and mixed & mastered by Gonzalo Vivero in In The Red Audio. As always, the cover art was by Jose Antonio Vives. LG Valeta , guitar player from the much acclaimed ‘77 guests on the track 'Pallid Hands' with a stunning Flamenco guitar solo. REDSHARK is pursuing their heavy speed galore with 'Digital Race', sticking to their traditional and catchy melodic sound that has been associated with the band 80s tinged Metal since their early days.
