Sound Architecture Records is back in the form of the 'Country to Country EP'. - A 12' produced by Berlin based artist Hreno.
Hreno, is a Montreal born producer, dj and artist. Currently living in Berlin, he has joined the city's heartbeat releasing a steady stream of quality remixes alongside his old friend The Mole. Labels such as: Turbo Recordings, Electronic Minds, Manocalda 3rd Strike,Thoughtless Music, Fur Trade, Internajional and Haunt have been requesting his and the duo's remix qualities.

Now keep your eyes and ears peeled for an original Hreno! His music is best described when not described. Although it has been likened to an unmanned, deep space, probe droid. Or an unrelenting pony ride at a petting zoo. Experiencing this music is like standing on a rivers edge, or on a vast precipice. Either for the bathtub or a spring mounted dance-floor. Hreno has opened his vaults. Dive into a sonic experience, travel from 'Country to Country', forget boarders, feel your heart warm up, suddenly you are 'Completely New'. Then 'Portage' to reach the other side and let yourself get lost, maybe on the nearest floor..

FOUR PLAY MUSIC boss ANDREW EMIL here as CHANGE REQUEST drops this 5 track 12" EP. "THE FANTASY" leads off with a slow burn disco vibe and "ONE WAY" drops the tempo for a jazz'd out groove. The flip brings "ATMOSPHERES", a deep house cut, "SHADOWS", & the Chicago bumpin' "LE ROI COSMIQUE"

Having surfaced with a few potted releases in the mid-nineties, My Love Is Underground have taken it upon themselves to call upon LA's Teflon Dons to reissue three punchy lessons in that currently most mined of house music eras. There's no arguing with the authenticity of a track like "Planet Eater", as the subby bass and pounding drums take the lead with just subtle dabs of noise and samples chilling in the background. "Sun Fist Rising" has a more rounded atmosphere, leaning on layers of keys and a classic garage shuffle for a sweet and soulful end result, while "Psycho Ray" gets on a darker tip with creepy vocal samples and moody organ bass.

Back in 2007, Still Music broke new ground by releasing 'Think Africa', the first 12' from Fela's son Seun Kuti with Egypt 80, Fela's legendary band . This year, we're back in Africa via Lubeck, Germany and we are proud to present Mr Raoul K's first full length for Still Music titled 'Mande'.

Mr Raoul K is well known for his productions that mix original African instruments with techno and deep house 'Made in Germany'. His releases, on his own imprint Baobab Music and for Mule Musiq, have spread his unique sound worldwide with great acclaim from Joe Claussel, the Innervision crew and many other DJs.

Mr Raoul K also was featured and interviewed by Gilles Peterson on the famous Worldwide show (http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/2011/09/gilles-peterson-worldwide-vol-4-no-12-raoul-k/).

For 'Mande', Still Music sent Mr Raoul K back to his roots in Abidjan - Ivory Coast, where Raoul K reunited with his band and started working
on this fantastic album.

We took this opportunity to document his journey in Africa with a video documentary that demonstrates the extent of Mr Raoul K musician's sheer talent and can teach you a thing or two about African music (only available on the DCD release).

'Mande' is the fruit of collaborations with musicians from Africa and Germany and Mr Raoul K's supervision and superb production skills. It is a complete 7-track album that dives into original African 'Manding' music all the way to techno via a superb mixdown from our favorite producer, Deetron, for the track 'Sierra Leone'.

Mr Raoul K is an important artist in today's blend electronic music world, he brings a diversity that can only lift a dance floor to a new level. 'Mande' has a soul that comes deep from Africa and reaches out all the way to Detroit and Chicago via Germany.

We are proud to invite you to an African techno journey lead by one of the most essential electronic artist of our decade.

You get the original versions of ''Funky disco fusion'' and ''7th trumpet'' from his CD plus the brand new unreleased Jose Carretas remix of ''You are love'' and the CVO ''Slum mix'' of ''I am not in love''.

The legendary British radio DJ John Peel once posed that music is really suspenseful when you have the
feeling of hearing something for the first time.

Boola (part of (a:rpia:r)) started spinning in the summer of 2005, in Ibiza, where he had the great opportunity to play at the famous DC10. As a producer, he had his first release on the romanian superlabel (a:rpia:r), followed by Lomidhigh Lmtd.,Rekids, Lomidhigh Organic, Innervisions, All Inn, Cecille, Soweso and some tracks on Cabin Fever, including Balada Redo, featured on the Fabric 48 cd, mixed by Radio Slave. In his dj sets, Boola tries to bring back some of the dirty "in yo face" old school sound, warming up the decks for legends like Dj Sneak and Eddie Richards. Performances at Panorama Bar (Berlin), Trouw (Amsterdam) and other european clubs. He represented Romania (alongside Demos, Petre Inspirescu and Praslea) at the Worldtronics 2008 Festival in Berlin and mixed at the famous italian New Years Afterhour, "Fiesta Privada". An album will follow in the future, on Rekids. STAY TUNED !!

Heralding from a rockn'roll and jazz background Vaal is not aware of the strict rules that define & guard electronic music. Therefore Vaal is not afraid to break them.
Sourcing tracks and samples became an obsession: from this was born a compulsion to write, experiment & develop original music that could be equally human, equally electronic.
Vaal exists in the dark of the city: the secretive curtained room that you can never quite peer into, the dark pulsating dancefloors of the underground. Vaal has nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears & sweat.
Vaal is electronic, & Vaal is a Baastard.

In five years Diynamic has become a big family and of course each member has to be part of Diynamic's
fifth birthday compilation. Solomun, Stimming, David August, H.O.S.H., UNER, Ost & Kjex, DJ Phono,
Adriatique, Thyladomid, Hunter/Game and Liem all did awesome exclusive tracks for the first CD of the
compilation. Aiming to define Diynamic's current sound, the different family-members did wonderful and
powerful tracks easily reaching their aims.

On the second CD artists from completely different genres of music put hands on the greatest hits of
Diynamic. They remix, rework or cover a song from Diynamic's catalogue with the intension to bring on their
very own level. Hot Chip, Digitalism, Cassius, WhoMadeWho and many, many more have taken part on
this charity-project to increase the donation for Kinderhospiz Sternenbrücke and of course they have done
very unbelievable tracks.

This compilation is a must-have for anybody that has followed Diynamic in the past years and for anyone
that wants to start following now. It's a milestone in the labels history and all in all it's the best gift you could
imagine.

Finally 'Pending' opens with xylophone style keys, off kilter hats and a host of enchanting percussive sounds, reminiscent of far eastern influence. A more
synthesized lead line enters the mix before a classical piano piece, courtesy of Kate Simko, ensure that the abstract, jazz-like aesthetic that features throughout the release remains.
Ultimately, what Crosson & Merveille have made is nothing less than dance music for intellectuals, a unity of thought and feeling, poetry for bodies in motion.

Classic VIV & Lawaetz sind ein Produzenten- und DJ-Duo aus Kopenhagen. "This Is For The Women" ist im Original ein von Jazz und Poetry beeinflusstes Deep-House-Stück.

Born in America, raised in Scotland, singing saxophonist Amy Lyon has been writing and singing music for around 6 years and began playing saxophone at the age of 10. With a love for jazz, funk and soul her influences include Ella Fitzgerald, Otis Redding, Amy Winehouse and Erykah Badu. With Marlon Hoffstadt she found an congenial partner to take her songs to the dancefloor. Despite his innocent age of 18 years Marlon's productions keep up with those of the well known when it comes to quality. Stylistically his sounds are somewhere between pop and house. Marlon has that certain 'something' that creates its own character and a very distinctive sound. Their debut EP 'You And A Love Stoned Ghost,' contains four enchanting tracks created by the synergy of Marlon's fresh productions and Amy's energetic voice.

At the end of the '50s, Miles Davis' Kind of Blue heralded the revelatory arrival of modal jazz. As the vibrations of these giant steps resonated across the world, European jazz musicians reassessed their bearings and began to steer a new course. Across the continent they sent roots down into the rich soil of the European folk and Christian liturgical traditions, extended their music along ancient routes of communication and trade to the Middle East, and reached across the crumbling ramparts of the European empires to the music of Asia Africa and Latin America.
