Since the end of the 90s Laurent Jeanneau aka Kink Gong has been recording the music of mostly endangered minorities of South East Asia. Alongside his relentless pursue of remote exotic and unpublished musical traditions, he also creates electronic versions by combining raw recordings with natural sounds, archive material and electronically treated sounds. For Gongs, Laurent returns to his soundscape approach not heard since the Xinjiang LP (2011) and further develops his unique re-versions around the extensive Gong orchestra recordings he made on location in the remote regions of Cambodia & Laos. Over the years Jeanneau has become an expert of Gong orchestras of South East Asia, releasing in 2014 a double LP highlighting the different tonalities and resonances inherent to this kind of animistic ceremonies of the Asian Sub Continent (Gongs of Cambodia, Kink Gong recs, 2014). The compositions on this LP deform, re-assemble and distort said recordings. They contain unedited acoustic recordings, computer modified parts, sound collages and acoustic recordings of people and instruments. All tracks were recorded on location and re-arranged by Laurent Jeanneau in Dali, Paris & Berlin. Vinyl pressing to 500 copies // Mastered & Cut at Dubplate @ Mastering by Rashad Becker //

Somewhere in between the electronics of Keith Fullerton Whitman, the percussive repetitions of Jon Mueller, and the atmospheric sensibility of Pan-American, these tracks are to be listened to as two long explorations in the art of variation and repetition. Layers of drums and percussions intertwine with synth waves making the portrait come to life, detail after detail, until a complex figure emerges from the white canvas. The constant, unsteady sounds, wavering noise, swirling cymbals, and distant feedback gently pull the listener into the picture, letting them enjoy every detail of this beautifully staged compositions.

Extended edition of Ian William Craig's landmark debut album A Turn of Breath. Here it is in it's final form, with an additional LP of unpublished material: Short of Breath EP (originally a CDr included with the first 125 orders from Recital in 2014), and all unreleased material to fill the final Fresh Breath side of the collection - culled from the same recording period as A Turn of Breath.

The original info said in 2014:

Recital here presents the premiere LP by vocalist Ian William Craig (b. 1980, Edmonton). Ian, a trained opera singer, delivers an elegant balance between theatrical and ambient sentiments. A Turn of Breath combines the essence of a choral LP from Angel Records or Deutsche Grammophon with the spontaneity of experimental home-recording.

This collection holds twelve works for voice and 1/4 tape, recorded from 2011-2013. Voice appears as the Sun's light through a vast storm, still obscured by tape malfunctions and manipulations. A system of reel to reels is employed, which yields a lovely sort of morphing repetition. Each iteration crumbles as more harmony is placed on top, residual tones spilling off the sides into nothingness.

Craig's innate ability to sing beautiful, sorrowful melodies carries each track. The pieces on A Turn of Breath vary from grand choral meditations to quiet interludes, and even a few impressionistic 'songs' accompanied by faint acoustic guitar. An overarching warmth resonates through each side, making this a very pleasant listen. A suitable compliment to a pot of coffee in the morning or a glass of armagnac in the evening. - Sean McCann / Recital 2014

As if some lovelorn romantic troubadour had been summoned forth from the recording of séances on old shellac 78s' - MOJO
A powerfully blurry canvas of hymn, chant and drone, through multi-tracking, echo, looping, abrasions and erasures.' - NEW YORK TIMES
This is a truly brilliant piece album - inhale it now.' - THE GUARDIAN

Pan & Me is the solo project of musician and curator Christophe Mevel, known as one of the founding members of dark-jazz collective The Dale Cooper Quartet & The Dictaphones. His debut 'Paal' was recorded back in 2010 while being on a boat trip along Unalaska island and has been released worldwide via Denovali Records in 2012. With Pan & Me Christophe Mevel continues the intelligent song writing of the Dale Cooper Quartet with a different approach - the arrangements are not jazz-orientated like those he creates with the other Dale musicians on their three classics 'Parole de Navarre', 'Metamanoir' and 'Quatorze Pièces de Menace'. His influences are coming from all over the map. The debut 'Paal' was rather piano- and electronic-driven referring to artists in the likes of Oval, Wim Mertens or Angelo Badalamenti. His forthcoming second full length called ""Ocean noise"" is an intense and highly diverse collection of material ranging from ambient, guitar drones, vocals, field recordings and synth sounds in a much wider orchestration including piano, strings and percussion, forming a Vinyl double album set to be released in September 2014. For ""Ocean noise"" Christophe Mevel created a musical journey with the attempt of being listened as one extensive piece. This experience should only be interrupted by flipping the record in order to continue following the route of this single man leading us in a vast landscape, where repetitive melodies of an organic sound are established drawing our attention away from hectic routines. Tidal waves of long synth tunes are rising up in choirs and ebb away exposing a lonely setting on the edge of nature, where observations of all kinds of narratives seem to start. Quickly fading into pulsing guitar drones taking over the second half of the record, ""Ocean noise"" ends with mysterious vocals and footsteps to rewind of what has been left behind. CD: digipak. Vinyl: thick gatefold sleeves, 180g different vinyl colours, free download.

'Block Boundaries' is the new album from minimalist composer Ryan Teague building on his previous releases for Type, Sonic Pieces and current label Village Green. Inspired by the theme of Psychogeography, the record fuses acoustic instrumentation with electronic and processed material, taking the listener on a hallucinogenic Ballardian journey through from the thrumming urban activity of New York, Amsterdam and London

It was 1999 when Hannes Strobl, Robert Buddenbrock and Rupert Huber released their first collaboration.
DAWN - segments of a live performance, the crossover of Berlin's and Viennas electronic scene.
The three musicians create a perfect tension of space, drums, percussion, bass and ambience.

During the last decade they played in very different projects, like Denseland, Paloma and Tosca a.o.
Now they met again to mold the experience of the las 14 years into a set of stunning tracks condensing the
atmosphere of the mediterranean and other places into reduced minimalistic grooves and floating
atmospheres.
In opposite to his work with Tosca, where Rupert Huber embeds his sounds in a more easy listening context,
Superconnection offers more room for sophisticated interpretation of contemporary electronic music.

La Mer is as the sea - as the repetition of waves, always different - always the same.

2014 has been a slow year for Sequencias in terms of releases. Most of our energy has been spent towards the development of different projects, like our new webstore, that has become an outlet for us to share some of the records that influence the way we do things. So, with the wax offering slowing to a mere trickle, who better to entrust with our sole release for the rest of the calendar year dcantu, of course.

Cantu's electro-heavy sound is fleshed out here and while still lean enough for dance floors, it makes bolder moves into atmospheric and melodic territory. The A side, "Some Kind Of Strange...," begins with long synth strains before one of his signature overdriven drum workouts immediately punches through the lush spectral melody. Cantu runs through the patterns on his 808, weaving a sort of broken beat track that cruises through acidic space time. On the flipside you're treated to the electro/freestyle jam, "A Space Age Function." There aren't many surprises here nor is there any need for them: just pure and grimy electro joy...right down to the pitched down vocal sample and octave-hopping bassline. "September," the beatless coda, is an echo from a childhood spent in dark cinemas with the sounds of Carpenter and Howarth. Tinkling FM bells dot the layers of rich ethereal pads and you can practically hear the clattering of the projector somewhere behind you in the dark.

Also, you probably noticed the changes on our artwork direction. We have made the conscious decision of going with a classic look for the upcoming series of releases. Nonetheless, expect some curveballs during the process.

After releasing one of the most memorable records of the year in 2013, the roman Dj returns with another amazing piece of work. The Age, on the A side, is an ambient track with psychedelic Rock and New Age Music incursions,showing once again his love for Downtempo stuff. Orion 314, on the B side,is a slow and straight deep Techno train that will not disappear all lovers of this kind of sound.

The Air Texture Series returns for it's annual event where two producers are asked to select a CD each of more experimental electronic music for combined release.

Celebrated ambient artist John Beltran jointly release not one but two vinyl compilations on Delsin Records in association with his own Dado label. The compilations, named Music For Machines Part 1 and Part 2, will take the form of two vinyl LPs released apart, with both releases complied together onto one CD available at a later date. Michigan born producer Beltran, of course, has released countless legendary EPs and LPs on labels like Peacefrog, Carl Craig's Retroactive and Belgium's R&S. His music has been licensed to high profile HBO TV series and a number of films, and pulls together elements of jazz, world music, organic soundscapes and electronic textures into compelling listening experiences. Most recently this came in the form of his Amazing Things album in 2013, whilst his career spanning Ambient Selections from 2011 is still a vital listen. Part 1 of the compilation pulls together new and exclusive tracks from the likes of Winter Flags, Blair French, David Elpezs and John himself, whilst part two focuses on the likes of Natalie Beridze, Kirk Degiorgio and Vincent Volt. Part 1 opens up with the found sound lushness of 'Winterfall Winds' before naturally unfolding through Reinehr's wintry harmonics and the crowning glory of Beltran's own titular track, which is a moving bit of textured modern classical music that sooths your mind, body and soul. As for Part 2, it is riddled with sumptuous sonic delights like Greg Chin's icy and alpine 'Dashboard Angels' and Mick Chillage's beautifully suspended 'Only In My Dreams'. Vincent Volt keeps things beautifully beachy with his 'Subway Arp' and A2B2C2's 'Stereometry' is a suitably sombre affair that closes the compilation down in style.

Ibiza Beats 'Sunset Chill & Beach Lounge' Vol 7 will surely reach the Top sales following the steps of its predecessor Vol 6 . From the very beginning; Saba Rock & Sandy Cay let you get in the right Chill mood with 'Twist &Turn' by famous Christian Hornbostel while Krystian Shek kicks you off starting cd 2 with 'To Much Thinking' a great downtempo swinger.

This new Vol 7 is completed with new stunning vocal tracks such as 'In my Pocket' by Sol Electrico and amazing chill/downtempo grooves by Lazy Hammock and Alex Cortiz. Enjoy 'Say Hello' by Mo'Jardo and the worldwide know song 'Crazy' by Rhod feat.Mika in a sublime downtempo version!

'Enter The Spiral' - the title of the opening track by the first collaborative work between Sebastian Mullaert and Eitan Reiter is not just a random name. It is a title which anticipates what can happen if you let yourself go alongside their nine epic musical trips.

They all emerged out of a free flowing improvised communication between the DJs and producers from Sweden and Israel. They both first deeply met on a festival in Tulum, Mexico where they played together at the end of the Maya calendar.

During their Yucatan days they connected intensely and subsequently stayed in touch. Finally Eitan proposed the idea to visit Sebastian in his dropout studio in the Swedish woods in the north of Malmö. Sebastian instantly said yes and added without knowing in February 2014 another chapter to a vibrant artistic year, in which he started to focus on his solo work and took a hiatus from his famed project Minilogue, after playing, producing, and performing with his close friend Marcus Henriksson for more than 16 years. 

Warmly welcomed in a little Swedish village right at the entrance of a big National Park, Eitan, who produces and releases genre-crossing electronic and electro-acoustic music solo or in projects like Loud since the mid of the noughties, found himself right in the centre of Sebastian's family.

Their days been shaped by daily life and they took care of the children, cooked, practiced yoga, meditated and made long walks with out words in the nearby forest. Absorbed by the sense of oneness with their daily existence they started to communicate in the studio to build aimless an intersection between the outer and the inner world.

It turned out to be a celestial dynamic voyage of unconscious emotions in time that made them produce a unique journey in sound. They drift on ambient territories, they let their heartbeats out via knocking techno beats, go deeply into moments of trance and drop some sparkling acid arpeggios while waving into all sorts of electronic musical expressions.

You cannot put their collaboration into one stylistic corner - you can only say that all their music distributes the feeling of an unvarnished musical trip. If you like you can call 'Reflections Of Nothingness' a Roland album, as it is largely made on a Roland TB303, TR808, SH101 and Juno 60.

One long ambient drone, analogic hypnotik exeprience. Modified EMS Synthi AKS & 'A', Boss RE20, modified EHX Nano Small Stone, Tascam M-06, one take stereo live recorded with Edirol R09HR - No post Production, No Overdub.

Bewitches in its overall atmosphere as a passionate laid-back musical statement for a world with so much noise
A touch of classical music, left field electronics, ambient love affairs, and discreet dubby house emotions without a kick drum: the third instalment of Mule Musiq's famed - Enjoy the Silence' sampler serial swings gentle, tricky, and multidimensional. Already twice before the label from Tokyo delivered compilations full of music by contemporary artists that explore sounds beyond the common definition of ambient. This time the atmosphere is focusing on avant-garde textures that got a touch of very diverse genres and styles. What all tracks have in common: they spread music that allows the listener to stop time and reflect on things. As Mule Musiq always been a label that got some core artists once again Koss, Lawrence, and DJ Sprinkles aka Terre Thaemlitz are part of a dovelike sound cruise that allows you to be in many spaces and places at the same time. Beside them some new names on the label like Vermont, Recondite, Petre Inspirescu, or John Roberts deliver musical voyages that seem to be produced by unique subconscious decisions and not by assembly line craftsmanship for art.

After making waves with early and idiosyncratic EPs on labels like Rush Hour and Astro:Dynamics, singular UK talent BNJMN now steps up to make his debut on Delsin with six tracks of experimental and inventive noise and techno. 'Coil' opens his account with screechy, unnerving synths squeals, imposing and throbbing pads and super deep kick drums that come at you from miles below. It's a hugely textured and spine tingling affair before the ambiance of 'Berth' comes rippled with glassy and alien little melodies. 'Merge' has turbo charged drums hiding beneath more unsettled synth based noise that sound sernee at the same time as being paranoid. On the flip, 'And Suddenly' makes your hairs stand on end with is gothic celestial glow and slithering synth patterns, 'Blown' is a damaged and degraded bit of icy, thumping and reverb heavy techno and 'Azure' ends on a brain soothing, chilled out ambient high. These are the sort of truly unique and magically textured tracks you would expect from a producer like BNJMN, and mark a fine debut on Delsin.

Petit Cochon" is the third LP and debut album for Spectrum Spools by James Donadio under his Prostitutes guise. From "Psychedelic Black", the self-released debut LP limited to only 100 to the esteemed "Crushed Interior" on Digitalis, it's safe to say Donadio has crafted a style unmatched in the climate of contemporary electronic music. The top shelf E.P.'s on Mira and Diagonal were a small glimpse into all that has led up to the new full-length, which we are proud to unveil

Sean Byrne's Bugskull project returned in 2009 after a long hiatus with the Digitalis-released 'Communication'. A few years later they released the acoustic curveball, 'Strange Mountain', on legendary Inland Empire label, Shrimper. We're very happy that the proper follow-up to Communication has landed on the Digitalis shores again.'Collapsed View' is a whimsical summer excursion through jaded forests and crystalline tides. On the plucked acoustic opener, 'Heaven/California,' you're gently dropped into Byrne's hazy lair. The repetitive main dirge moves like molasses until you're appropriately comatose. It's a dizzying beginning that settles nicely into the bass crunch of 'Olde Growth.' Forward movement in the form of a canned ramshackle beat underlines the drawn out leads that appear to floating in a puff of smoke. 'Icarus Rising' steals the show with it's jet propulsion bass line and psych-infused guitar leads. It's an intoxicating combination that gets better with repeated listens.Byrne breaks out all the stops on 'Collapsed View,' mutating gamelan-esque electronics into an oceanside romp on 'Druids.' Hypnotic guitar swells wrap around the piece, elevating it onto a different plane. It begins the second side which, compared to the A-Side, is a meditative ambient affair. Saxophone lamentations puncuate the title track drawing a circle around a star-filled night in the middle of nowhere.

'Superimpositions' is the hyper-coloured conceptual follow-up to multi-disciplinary Milanese artist, Lorenzo Senni's landmark LP, 'Quantum Jelly' (Editions Mego, 2012). It further consolidates, accelerates and evolves his idea of 'Pointillistic Trance' - an ascetic, extreme approach to the aesthetic essence of '90s-style trance/hard-trance - with a broader range of song structures, minimalist moiré patterns, and tantric dancefloor arrangements, all executed to visceral impact and challenging, exhilarating effect. Angling deeper into his stripped set-up - a computer-controlled JP8000 Roland Digital Analog Modelled S-Source Synthesiser - 'Superimpositions' reveals seven glistening examples of Lorenzo's current praxis, finding the biting point between emotional, realtime human input, and the sleek tension of synthesis. Opener, 'Happic' arches up with breathtaking effect, and never quite gives it back during its seemingly infinite ascent, whilst 'Elegant, and Never Tiring' is a spine-tingling exercise in aerobic coefficients, and the title track tiers teasing chords in a sisyphean struggle for deferred gratification. At the LP's blinding, white hot core, the heart-rush flux of bass arpeggios and spiralling hi-end in 'Forever Headline' threaten to careen off the platter, harnessing the rush of a million 'crasher kids circa '98, before closer 'PointillistiC' broadsides with a cascade of lip-bitingly beautiful, melancholic chords. It's the tenth, and arguably most impressive original release on our cherry-picking label,

repressed!
Ben Frost represents one of today's new breed of musicians who conjures an aural broth that inhabits an amorphous cross-section of genres. It's impossible to truly classify where he is coming from musically but it would be safe to say his fans would also have records from Neurosis, Tim Hecker, Sunn O))) and Fennesz lurking in their collection.

Ben Frost and Daníel Bjarnason are two composers used to shrugging off the distinction between experimental sound-art and deeply felt melodies. Frost's vast, blackened post-industrial works often crystallize in moments of quiet beauty before disintegrating in pure visceral noise; Bjarnason's orchestral music marries brutal modernism to classical aesthetics one moment and soaring ethereal harmonies the next.

Armada Sunset Volume 2 is the perfect getaway for lovers of beats, bass, sun, and good times. Two seamless mixes of chill-out, deep, and even a few late-night anthems will pull you right in to the beach side of life.

The first mix is a more relaxing journey, rife with downtempo tunes, exceptional remixes, and genre-defining beauties that were made to be enjoyed during life's most serene moments. As you transition from day to night, these are the tunes that represent the two sides of the coin. Let KRONO, Compact Grey, Lost Frequencies, Pretty Pink and many more champions of the genre bring you relaxation at its finest.

The second mix begins the transition to the nightclub, favoring harder beats, club anthems (like Mark Knight's 'Return of Wolfy', EDX's 'Cool You Off', and The Sneekers 'All You Need Is Lovin'), and a few of the most gorgeous tracks of the moment. Matt Lange & Jeza's 'I Can't Forgive' is quite possibly the perfect Ibiza tune, and there are many more like it, from Paul Oakenfold to Booka Shade.

There can be nothing better than watching the sunset in one of the world's phenomenal locations, except of course watching the sunset with the perfect music to match.

Following on from the phenomenal success of their Record Store Day 2014 release of FAR CRY 3: BLOOD DRAGON's Original Game Soundtrack, Invada Records are proud to partner with Ubisoft Music and dive once again into the world of video game soundtracks with the release of Brian Reitzell's musical score to the highly-anticipated open-world adventure game WATCH_DOGS. ith people around the world taking the day off work on the game's release, to play what is sure to be contender for 2014's most popular gaming title, this is a huge accomplishment for Invada to land this album and a chance to introduce their high production values and love of vinyl to a far wider audience. Full of infectious beats and atmospheric, retro-futuristic synths, the score is a further achievement from composer Reitzell, who has previously written music for the highly-rated U.S drama series HANNIBAL as well as working on multiple scores with acclaimed director Sofia Coppola, the latter of which has featured collaborations with French band AIR and Kevin Shields of famed alt-rock band MY BLOODY VALENTINE. WATCH_DOGS presents a dark and dangerous journey through an alternate version of Chicago, where ultra-hacker Aiden Pearce seeks to redeem himself after causing the death of his niece. Using the concepts of artificial intelligence and information warfare, the game brings technological relevance to a Grand Theft Auto-style open world in the tradition of the revered science fiction of William Gibson and Philip K. Dick. To represent the varied challenges of the game, Reitzell brings an eclectic feel to the score, with thumping beats and off-kilter melodies of the club scene juxtaposed with the more ethereal and atmospheric synth and guitar, evoking the music of Vangelis and Brian Eno - ideal for a post-noir cyberpunk game. There's also an introspective and emotional feel to the score as required by the game's story, which is reflected in the album's sequencing, providing a well-rounded narrative-driven musical experience. WATCH_DOGS will be released on vinyl and CD on July 28th. As a special preview, Invada have put together a Soundcloud sneak peek to give soundtrack and video game fans alike a taste of the great things to come from the album. https://soundcloud.com/invadauk/sets/watch-dogs-ost-brian-reitzell.

Ghost Notes is the third album from Nottingham-based musician Dan Layton, aka Apalusa. Whereas Apalusa's previous release, Obadiah, was a dense, murky affair, 'Ghost Notes' is an altogether different animal built from layers of guitar drone, granular synthesis, field recordings and manipulated vocals. Layton then stripped back all extraneous material before painstakingly assembling what remained to create this tightly focussed and microscopically detailed record. Every click, hiss and rumble is meticulously placed to provide a backdrop to an album making Ghost Notes the most accomplished record of Layton's career to date.

Im Herbst veröffentlicht Deutschlands erfolgreichster Elektronik-Künstler Schiller mit Symphonia ein einzigartiges Werk: Die Live-Aufzeichnung des Open-Air-Konzertes auf dem legendären Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin.
Das einmalige Live-Event ist eine ganz besondere Premiere: Erstmalig hat Schiller-Macher Christopher von Deylen die markantesten Songs seines langjährigen Schaffens zusammen mit einem grossen Symphonie-Orchester aufgeführt.
Songs wie 'Sehnsucht', 'Ein schöner Tag' oder 'Das Glockenspiel' wurden für diesen Anlass musikalisch vollkommen neu gestaltet - Schillers elektronische Klangwelten treffen auf epische Orchester-Arrangements.
Zusätzlich zu dem aus über 60 Musikern bestehenden Orchester hat Christopher von Deylen internationale Gastkünstler eingeladen: Midge Ure (Frontmann der britischen Elektronik-Pop-Pioniere Ultravox), die Schweizerin Jaël sowie die russische Ausnahme-Sopranistin Eva Mali. Gemeinsam mit dem Grafen von Unheilig hat Schiller erstmalig den Titelsong des Nummer-Eins-Albums Sonne live aufgeführt.
Symphonia dokumentiert diesen einmaligen Abend mit einer aufwändig gestalteten Super-Deluxe-Box.
Zu dem limitierten Box-Set gehören der beeindruckende Konzertfilm auf Blu-Ray und DVD sowie zwei Audio CDs mit stimmungsvollen Live-Aufnahmen des Events.

All compositions by Mattias Gustafsson: Magnetic tape, field recordings & electronics, recorded to tape 2012-2013. Mattias Gustafsson's industrial, Mjölby-style musique concrète is deeply personal and even though the music is often sparse and minimal, it always contains restrained energy explosions and psychic tensions.

Andy Votel and Demdike Stare's Sean Canty's concept group, NeoTantrik, return with the fruits of recent performances alongside Buchla maestro Suzanne Ciani, Swiss jazz legend Bruno Spoerri, and folk artist Jane Weaver. Recorded during sporadic visits to theatres and art spaces across the world, 'Blue Amiga' follows one year on from their 'Intervisions', further flinging the coordinates of their improvised alloys to encompass, extract and reduce a broad spectra of influences and disciplines taken from theatrical sound design, Italian library and computer music with general abstract and unrehearsed mechanical / human /electronic interfaces. Put simply; it's a trip. Augmented by the presence of synth music and electro-jazz pioneers Ciani and Spoerri - both subjects of excellent reissues by Votel's Finders Keepers label - plus the return of Jane Weaver and home-made music by the Sound Awareness blog's Martin Young, the team sweep us thru engrossing soundscapes fanning out from sub-aquatic drone to radiant electro-acoustica, gloomy cues and strung out, opiated ambience of a deeply romantic, adult nature. Garbed in Asia Argento's gorgeous cover design - featuring an image depicting the private family swimming pool photography of Giallo actress Daria Nicolodi - 'Blue Amiga' wears its cinematic influences quite literally on its sleeve, while musically rebuking the obvious stylistic blinkers of European film music in favour of genuine naked exploration and expansion.

THE SHIFFERS is Claudio Zanoni' solo Project . He is one of the Authors and Trumpet player for the Ridillo acclaimed outfit with Five Albums under their belt and numerous prestigious collaborations from Eumir Deodato to Gianni Morandi from Montefiori Cocktail to Orchestra Volare. Also responsible for a number of catchy TV Jingles for RAI and Mediaset TV productions. This project comes in parallel to their other activities and favours the instrumental aspect compared to the traditional 'song' format.
The diversity of the literary art that makes room to a less restrictive musical dimension in which to gather ideas more freely. The first album, titled 'The Incredible Adventures Soundtrack' was released back in 2007 and received unanimous praises all over the world from the generation nicknamed
'Cocktail Fans'. Several songs have been used on TV Commercials and Films including the Sony Playstation 'PS3 Slim' Ad which featured their explosive guitar driven track 'Body Down'. 'THE KALEIDOSCOPIC DREAMS OF A PARMESAN COWBOYS' is his second album, and it comes seven years after the previous one and it moves substantially in the same genre as the first one, in a kind of loyalty scheme trying to stay in line with what has worked so well in the past ! On one hand the instrumental aspect of the tracks is well taken care of but with an eye to the traditional song format which is always there, and the concept of the "kaleidoscopic" container in which to gather ideas freely, but always full of irony, wit and easy charm that evoke the musical references which are so dear to the author himself.so here they are the Bacharach inspired tracks, a touch of Bossa Nova, and the typical Italian B-movie soundtracks, the variety again which characterized the First Album.
Each track becomes a fascination, an emotional reference, a little soundtrack that for a moment takes care of us, taking us away from the noise of the everyday routine. For this new adventure The Shiffers choose to be guided through their music horizons, expanded even more and varied by a special mentor the 'Parmesan Cowboy', an imaginative character born between Via Emilia (Famous Emilia Romagna main Road) and the West, a perfect synthesis between belonging to a land (the Shiffers !) and an unspecified elsewhere strictly only imagined. It's exactly in this vast and unknown place that 'Kaleidoscopic Dreams' take shape and this is where the journey begins.

Italian rising artist Dario Tronchin a.k.a. Chevel made a name for himself in the 2012 techno scene thanks to his unique mixture of experimental dub oriented techno sounds. After being signed by Lucy's Stroboscopic Artefacts, Chevel's need of pursuing his own sound aesthetics brought him to launch his first music platform, Enklav.

Enklav is a label founded by Chevel himself in 2012; its aim is to release both his friends' and his own vision on electronic music, with tracks and sounds that move from minimalistic techno to ambient via noise or classic acid house.

'Rediscovery' will be the very first vinyl released by Enklav, after having grown up through digital market thanks to tracks by Von Tesla, Evn, Mudwise and the recent Quatremont College project,a moniker hiding the identities of the Enklav collective (Von Tesla, Evn, Mudwise and Chevel).

The Lp consists of seven tracks featuring both recent and old recordings made by Chevel, a package where Dario shows the best of his sound palette, mixing up old and new techniques of composition.

The use of analogue hardware and modular systems are predominant both in harder acid tracks like 'Isolation' and in the smoother melodic ones like 'The Hills' or 'Rediscovery'.

Expect much more from Chevel in the next months, with the launch of his brand new experimental deep house record label 'Monday Night Records' and his further committment to Non Series (an album planned to be released within the end of the year) we're sure this upcoming italian artist will have much more to say in the next future.

Cuthead got known to the wider public via his releases on Uncanny Valley but his roots reach way back before the label's start. There was a time when Cuthead and his brothers from another mother threw wild parties at abandoned industrial locations or in the woods around Dresden. The crew, which was known as Kunst:stoff Breakz, also established a label where Cuthead released two albums and one EP as free downloads between 2006 and 20

The german minimal composer Ernstalbrecht Stiebler this year celebrated his 80th birthday. m=minimal honours the work of this master of reduction with the third release dedicated exclusivly to his work. In opposite to many modern composer that use avantgardistic special effects, Stiebler builds his compositions around small sound spaces. As the composer himself said in an interview, his music is not intended to be easy. He demands a certain concentration of his listeners. Once you accept it you get rewarded with shifted time perception. A piece of 15 minutes duration can be perceived as 45 minutes. His music in the last few years gained more and more attention. His works were performed at many festivals including CTM, MaerzMusik, Mutek a.o. He composed works for Ensemble Modern and the HR (german broadcasting) commisioned him to compose an orchestral work. For his 80th birthday the German "Initiative Neue Musik" organized a 3 day festival in Berlin
