It's something of tradition for Tosca to get their albums remixed. Indeed, they once released a record comprised entirely of 13 mixes of
one song, 2002's 'Different Tastes Of Honey', variations on 'Honey' from 1999's 'Suzuki'. It's a way of keeping things fresh, injecting some
uncertainty into proceedings, knocking things out of balance in order to check how they should be re-aligned.
After releasing 'odeon' earlier this year, tosca comes back with 'tlapa the odeon remixes'. 'tlapa' meaning, This Life Arouses Pure Adventure.
This will be release August 2013.
The first person the pair approached was New York producer Brendan Moeller, who remixed 'Bonjour', turning it into a muted soundscape of
drifting synths and keening strings that slowly warms as a bubbling riff fades in. The choice of remixer for 'Stuttgart' was a case of obvious connections. The track already had a bit of a Latin feel thanks to guest Lucas Santtana from Brazil.
Other reworks come from Silver City, two guys from from Buenos Aires who live in London. They apply an '80s twist to 'Johnny Waters'.
LTJ Experience, an alter ego on Italian producer Luca Trevisi from Bologna, turns in an atmospheric interpretation of 'Meixner'. Perhaps
the most unusual remix is AFG's version of 'Cavallo', which sees spoken word passages thrust to the fore. 'That's definitely the most
leftfield,' agrees Dorfmeister.
If 'Odeon' was the sound of a band at the top of their game, still relevant after two decades, then the remix album shows they're still on
top of the music scene, pulling together well-judged names, old and new, to give their distinctive sound an equally distinctive twist.

Tracklisting CD

"'1973', all 90 dreamstate minutes of it, recalls My Bloody Valentine, Tim Hecker and Fuck Buttons among several others. The ghosts of BM lurk in the hear-endlessly fuzzy midrange, but the buried drum pulses, digitally mangled choirs and half-audible voices take you somewhere more blissful. No better album of its kind will be released this year."

Norwegian electronic music and DJ steps out with a new record, released in the USA by PYLON. Recorded in NY, LA, and Bergen, feat guest appearances by ROYKSOPP, ANNIE, SNOOP DOGG, ROXANE SHANTE, and GEORGE CLINTON, RALPH's unique mix of electronic hip hop has sold over 100k to date worldwide. Vinyl comes with a digital download.

*Aurora Borealis is very proud to announce the release of '1973', a double album from SEIROM.
*One of the best albums we have heard this year, Seirom has crafted a beautiful, stark, atmospheric, sometimes unsettling record on a par with the likes of Tim Hecker, Fennesz, GAS, Thomas Koner, Murcof, Sunno))).

The third ep by the Durian Brothers is called "Cubs" ep and completes the trilogy of first recordings by the Brothers to express their unique vision of a rough and direct club music that has its roots in minimal techno, noise and ethnic trance music. Like its precursors, it comes in a foldout silkscreened cover; the cover artwork is again taken from a medicine book of the 1920s and reflects the durian brothers
aestheticsof dense, analogue black and whiteness.

Reaktionen:
"An array of undeniably beautiful sounds ... Reich-meets-Portishead territory" - BBC Music
"stunning, intricate, delicate, beautiful" - Okayplayer
"Akin to a Hebridean Portishead ... sleek" - Independent On Sunday
"Absolutely fantastic" - Cerys Matthews (BBC 6Music)

The second full-length from Los Angeles / London electro soul duo draws heavily on late 70's French library music, 80's Italo disco and sleng teng dancehall riddims. "LA MUSIQUE" pays homage to the beginnings of the digital realm via vintage gear. In full picture sleeve. 12 tracks

Repress!

The first in a series of remix 12" singles taken from UNA's "LAUGHING MAN" record. 4 remixes from CHARLES WEBSTER of "WE ARE THE LONELY": deep and dubby with UNA's hauntingly beautiful vocals featured. Check the "DEEP DUB" mix for some bangin' dancefloor action.

Remixes both by & for. Capt flips Tummy Touch artists Los Chicarrons' "Ma Do Nar" & Chip Wickham's "Hit & Run". CP's alter ego Chuck Wild takes on "Get You Some" & BBE/Breakin' Bread's Chris Read retreats the Capt's "Samba Radiante 2011"

On April, 20th the sixth Record Store Day will take place. Sonar Kollektiv has two very special goodies in store: There's the limited 300 copies 12inch of the Paskal & Urban Absolutes remix for Jazzanova's That Night.
The other goodie is a reinterpretation of Terry Callier's 900 Miles from 1968 by FETSUM. In honor of the soulfolk singer/songwriter, who sadly passed away in late 2012, the new stunning soul voice of Germany covers one of his all time favorite songs. A brave move which succeeded fairly and fittingly pays tribute to one of the most talentend musicians of our times. Sonar Kollektiv A&R manager Alex Barck is also a huge fan of Terry
Callier. After he recently has remixed FETSUM's Letters From Damascus so brilliantly it's a logical step to have him step in and turn FETSUM's cover into a club track. It's astonishing how Barck pushes the groove towards South America and still leaves air to breathe for FETSUM's voice .
Matt Karmil is less known as a remixer, but more as a versatile session musician and producer. For instance he played with Cee Lo Green, Siobhan Donaghy and Neneh Cherry and produced Portishead, Massive Attack, Sugababes, Patrice und Gorillaz. The fact that he now found some time to give an existing track his very personal note is Sonar Kollektiv's achievement and our luck. His delivery would even shine in the portfolio of, let's say DJ Shadow or Geoff Barrow. An outrageous attempt.

'Archipelago' is the second album from Hidden Orchestra, who were recently highlighted by the Independent On Sunday as one of their 'Sounds Of The Summer' 2012. Following the release of their 10,000 selling debut, 'Night Walks', their intricate yet viscerally emotive and energetic sound has won critical acclaim and a diverse fanbase, from bass and hip hop heads to jazz and classical aficionados to rock fans.
The core quartet of Hidden Orchestra is formed around the duelling drum kits, percussion and electronic pads of two drummers, Tim Lane and Jamie Graham, completed by Poppy Ackroyd's distinctive, multi-faceted violin and piano playing and Joe Acheson's bass and original samples. Hidden Orchestra have seen their star rise steadily and emphatically, with an organic buzz building as they have toured their highly in-demand live show almost non-stop through over 20 countries, in addition to tour support stints for the likes of Bonobo

"Der Untergang" refers to an dystopian city in which from one day to another everybody went crazy - the perfect outline for the remixers Oliver Koletzki, umami and label heads AKA AKA!

AMIT's debut release on Tempa — 'Acid Trip' — finds the UK-based producer/composer turning his hand towards two dark and deadly dubstep tracks.

'Acid Trip' has been a regular weapon in Youngsta's record bag for some time now,  and it's as confounding and intensely psychedelic as its name suggests - driven along by bounding,  Middle Eastern-influenced percussion,  grinding sub-bass and the gritty shrieks of a 303 acid line. 'Don't Forget Your Roots' nods toward its title: a skanking,  dub-infused and meditative flipside to 'Acid Trip's total freakout,  accompanied by half-sung,  half-whispered vocals from Rani.

AMIT is something of a veteran in UK electronic music,  having been releasing tracks since 2002 via labels such as Commercial Suicide,  Metalheadz and dBridge's Exit Records. He initially became renowned for his stripped back and rolling takes on drum & bass,  which melded harsh and aggressive textures with a spacious and very fluid approach to rhythm. He has released two full-length albums through Commercial Suicide,  and has also composed soundtracks for film and theatre. These two tracks on his Acid Trip 12" show off aspects of AMIT's musical personality that have run throughout his career: by turns ferocious, grounded and holistic.

After being half a year absent from the outside world, Good Ratio Music presents us their new release from Little Big Orchestra who is showing us his first work ever done, named Experiment 626. It contents a bunch of mysterial sounds clashing with deep, dark sequences, which makes this creation stepping out of the usually offered tones of GRM. The music unlocks a very intimate side of the artist, songs made by broken beats, pitched voices and profound themes will drift the listener to another universe. The precise red line through this selection processed playing with contrasting fragile and strong metallic tones makes it an unique and special piece. The remixer for this occasion is no one less than the genius Tin Man (Absurd, Key Of Life), who transformed the track Toys & Diamonds into a more solid, slow techno rhythmic version, once in a vocal rework, recorded by himself and the other one into a dub version.

Original Cultures presents Blackjob 'Trashdub' 12", a vinyl release that compiles tracks from the original and remix EPs of the same name (available digitally). This release includes three original tracks and three remixes on vinyl complete with full colour sleeve and artwork by Paper Resistance. Featured remixers include Munich's Danny Scrilla (Cosmic Bridge, Civil Music), Bristol's Sam Binga (formerly Baobinga, Build Recordings) and Dublin's T-Woc (Alphabet Set). The 12" drops late February 2013 and comes with a free download of both the original and remix EPs in digital formats (11 tracks in total).

On side A we have three tracks of modern day dub from Blackjob, the latest project of famed Italian bass player Mannaman. The music takes inspiration from dub's Jamaican roots and its modern day offshoots and mutations. 'Rise Again' features beautiful vocals by Suz. The whole thing evokes the best of Bristol circa Massive Attack's heydays.

On side B we have three remixes that showcase dub's modern diaspora. Danny Scrilla takes Rise Again into dubstep territories, with ten-ton heavy bass and snapping snares, while Sam Binga turns the original into a meditative jungle roller. T-Woc keeps MMD in more traditional dub territories, with extra lazers.

Support for the release so far (both originals and remixes) includes airplay on Resonance FM (London, UK), Rinse FM (London, UK), Base FM (New Zealand), Beatwolf Radio (Manchester, UK), 22tracks London, Wrongtom (Tru Thoughts), Opti (Airflex Labs), Fracture (Metalheadz), LV (Hyperdub), Om Unit (Cosmic Bridge/Civil), Squarewave, Badawai (ROIR) and more. XLR8R will feature the Monolithium remix (available on the digital release) in February 2013 as a free download ahead of the 12" release.

Blackjob is the latest project from famed Italian bassist Mannaman, a musician who over the last 20 years has worked with renowned Italian artists and collectives such as the Isola Posse All Stars and Casino Royale as well as Howie B and Tim Holmes from Death In Vegas.

4 track 12" EP taken from the CD of the same name. The club banger "FUKIN JAKER", a kickass edit of USHER's r&B hit "APPETITE" and vocal and instrumental mixes of CIARA's "GOODIES", the rap hit from a few years ago. Nu bass. Post B-More Due late Jan/early Feb 2013.

You Are Eternity' is the third album to be released on Stroboscopic Artefacts and comes from two of the minds who have shaped the label since its earliest days: Dadub. Recorded over a period of two years, but containing fragments and ideas that stretch back a decade 'You Are Eternity' has been mixed together to form a continuous piece rather than twelve discreet tracks. The effect An immersive journey that encompasses the descriptors brutal, ferocious, ambient and aqueous. The album title hints at the almost spiritual origins of the album, Dadub's search for music that goes further, that spreads away from the confines of the time and place in which we find ourselves, music that seeps into the cavern of the eternal. Tucked into 'Vibration', the very first track, is a sample of the Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. He leans close and says: Music is a spiritual gift, and those who misuse it, die young. Sage words. 'You Are Eternity' is a record that refuses to take any chances, Dadub are clearly producers intent on being around for quite some time. Vital Sales Points:

Chimp Beams bring a synth driven ethno-dub on the A, while Parker Kindred (drummer for Antony &The Johnsons, Jeff Buckley etc) leads a BK all star band through a dreamy, Asian-flavored vocal number.

LA producer GB teams up with A RACE OF ANGELS for this special limited 12" EP. This 4 track release is a great blend of electronic dance music with great analog synth work and solid rhythms with delicate, soulful vocals. Hand sprayed jackets by DAME (MSK). Quality music!

Short Stories is a collaboration between Welsh producer Koreless and London based Sampha.
Forging a friendship playing Young Turks parties in the summer of 2010, they came together in the space that was later the writing room for The xx's second album. In this cavernous Dalston studio, they spent 2 days with a vast array of synths, drum machines and other instruments, exploring a new sonic palette and learning about each other's process for creating music.
Two cold damp days later they emerged with the playful first chapter of their alliance; 'On The Way' and 'Let It Go'.

Turbo Recordings takes new-school electro to grad school with the latest release from Finnish duo Renaissance Man.

Finland's Renaissance Man have earned a reputation as some of the smartest minds in dance music, and by extension, the world. Following their brilliant 2011Turbo debut LP, the actual architects continue to bring high-minded concepts to low-ended club tracks with their latest release, "Call2Call."

The six tracks on this EP take the DNA of classic electro and splice it with techno's focus on structure and the duo's trademark "Critical House" conceptual ingenuity. The use of landline phone samples over dirty 808 beats evokes something both timeless and incredibly time-specific, like a primitive ape-man (or woman) being handed the first-ever cordless phone and hearing his first dial tone as the equivalent of being left to die in space. The result is something familiar yet new, much like the second time you ever read the phrase "familiar yet new."

None of which is to say that this music doesn't have balls. Because it does. Brainy, well-considered balls. Accept them as our gift to you.

A spin-off project from PACIFIC HORIZONS, "AN OMEN FROM NO MANS LAND" is a 4 track EP featuring 23 minutes of dark, weird techno and industrial dance styled sounds. Low end basslines crash with drum machines, Jihadist chants and war torn screams. Limited to 150. Silk screened sleeves.
