And again! The second truelovesounds vinyl is coming from our very own artist collective VOZ with their base in Frankfurt and Offenbach City. The EP called - Last is the first release by this outstanding duo and delivers a mixture of straight linear but promising and meaningful elements combined with massive baselines that form the EP into a steady production.
Dubtil manages to create a grooving and somehow simple but beautiful interpretation of the track which rounds off the ep perfectly.

Wie bei der ersten KOLLEKTION sind wir in unsere randvollen Archive hinabgetaucht um nach persönlichen Favoriten und zertifizierten Krachern zu fischen, das Alte und das Neue zu verbinden, den rauhbeinigen Kram und den weichherzigen, den funky Krach und die epische Melodei. Obwohl wir dieses Mal ein etwas größeres Netz ausgeworfen haben, sollte jeder einzelne Track auf dieser Liste als bewährter Klassiker angesehen werden; Sounds die in unseren Ohren das mitdefinierten, was KOMPAKT heute ist. Man nehme zum Beispiel CLOSER MUSIKs schmerzhaft schönes MARIA: KOLLEKTION 2 so zu beginnen, das zeugt von Ambition - damit auch keine Zweifel darüber aufkommen, welchen Grad an emotionalem Einsatz und purer musikalischer Qualität wir hier erreichen wollen.

New 2-tracker by Inigo Kennedy! Moody, fragile electronix on the A-side and a fast-paced techno/dubstep cut on the B-side make sure this 12'' will suit both the collectors and the DJ's.

4th installment on Linear Movement by Marco Cassanelli. Blue Magic is the perfect balance between atmospherical dubby tracks and more powerful deep techno. The release comes with a full screen printed sleeve.

Age Coin's newest recording, 'Performance,' drenches industrial-infused techno in high definition details, divining a cracked bump & flex from the condensation of a joyride. With a handful of tapes on Posh Isolation, as well as an album on Luke Younger's Alter, Kristian Emdal and Simon Formann have developed a project whose momentum and reputation has steadily escalated, finding common ground between electro-acoustic methods and quantised club nights. Both Emdal and Formann are best known as members of Lower (RIP), and both have since continued to devote themselves to a series of projects in the band's wake. Emdal has lately pivoted his time around Marching Church, a band comprised of some of Copenhagen's finest, whilst Formann has been working under the guise of Yen Towers, releasing his debut 12" on Posh Isolation earlier this year. "Trespassing on intimate territory," says Emdal of their new recording, Age Coin "cuts a transparent path for everyone to come walking." "The album is ultimately a joint effort to process past as well as present experiences within father son relations. In order to make things tangible, scenes are drawn from memory and merged in a shared fictional collage." 'Performance' thrillingly presents Emdal and Formann in a new cryptically lush aspect. There is a sense that one is watching a slide show—familiarity motions like the tide in the form of acoustic instrumentation, and porous synthesized terrains are crossed with a feeling, not a map, nor a memory. As one watches, the creeping ambience comes to be less an invasive sensation and more of a gravitational pull through time itself. It's as effortless as it is disorientating, like being stalked by a relic. Propellants ascend in to the foreground from all directions. Rhythmic NO2 afterglow comes in waves in reverse. Weightlessness is induced, and rebound. "Take in the view or let yourself be part of the language. Let the engine run and dip in to the swampy collective intelligence. 'Performance' is a hybrid memorial for all domestic actions committed in the name of love."

The fourth album of Driftmachine is not an album in the classical context, it´s a collection of new studio music, remixes by Shackleton and The Sight Below, and material previously available only in digital formats.

The album starts off with the surprising Shackleton remix of Radiations, a little gem gleaming with all the spacious percussions you can expect from the British producer. Stretching vibrations over tense atmospheres and post-techno broken beats, Shackleton (who generously offered to contribute this track on his own initiative) delivers a fine feat of rhythmic acrobatics, deconstructing Driftmachine's modular synthesis. The album features Driftmachine's latest studio track, Vermiform Burrows, a swinging composition very much in line with the duo's recent rhythm-oriented work. The Sight Below's remix of Vermiform Burrows offers a very different perspective and interpretation of their music: minutely detailed and nebulous, an expansive ambient-techno track that de-accelerates the original's beat. Other surprise in store, is Call Mr. Moriba, which was originally offered as a digital-only bonus-track on the debut album Nocturnes (2014), Driftmachine's critically acclaimed first LP, and is now available in vinyl format for the first time. Also included is the original LP version of Radiations, first published in the Colliding Contours (2015) album. Driftmachine's Radiations is an excellent showcase of Andreas Gerth and Florian Zimmer's sound: obsessive, symmetrical, multilayered, a deep and elegant language based on the shaky, unpredictable foundations of modular synthesis.

LP limited edition of 350 copies pressed on purple colored vinyl, includes a post card with original artwork and free download coupon.

Last Signs is Eli's first solo release since) and explores a very different side of his unique acoustic universe. One instrument and the hyper-mediated sonic ecosystem of the club sound system in which the macrocosmic percussive collisions of his earlier work give way to a gradual unfolding of dub-influenced rhythmic constellations. Eli has described Last Signs as his response to playing in club environments over the last few years, an attempt to negotiate a delicate balance between the materiality of his acoustic. Coming off like an inspired synthesis between Scientist and Xenakis, Last Signs of Speed is a truly unique work by an artist at the height of his powers.

If you're familiar with CVbox' music you know that he isn't the guy for your average Techno track. Formalistic song structures aren't his thing. When you'll start to listen to a new CVBox track you'll don't know how it will end. His music derives from his deep love for analogue gear and a pretty unique way to deal with it. On his first album "So ist es im Nadelwald" CVBox rides between the corner points of Techno, Electro and Ambient. The music is infused by an omnipresent darkness that isn't just there as an end in itself but will definitely give the thrills to listener and dancers. Some of the tracks develop a rarely heard urgency on the dance floor with those dub-influenced swirls or ever-present synth tides while simultaneously preserving a rather intimate atmosphere. Sometimes it's just an unfamiliar sound that makes the difference that simply comes out of nowhere. One thing is for certain: CVBox is all about atmosphere. As you can see by the album's artwork and title ("Nadelwald" is German for softwood forest) The album is also inspired by his passion to go into nature. When he is sick of the whirlwind that is his current hometown Leipzig he disappears into Saxony's hinterland for collecting mushrooms or just letting the thoughts flow. The double 12" comes in a beautiful package designed by Jacob Stoy with hand numbered and printed outer sleeve and two printed innersleeves on strong cardboard.

Borodin has come a long way since his first introduction into electronic music in 2001. Thanks to his undeniable skills he has developed a unique style. Borodin has been one of the most consistent producers around in recent years. Melotherapy is proud to add to the family an astounding style and sound. Each and every track will take you into Borodins mind and soul. This EP is evidence that Borodin has drawn upon all his years of experience to craft an accomplished debut record for Melotherapy full of malformed drums, conspicuous hits and amazing breaks.

UK-based techno producers Deepbass & Nax_Acid team up for a special 12" collaboration on the Planet Rhythm LTD imprint. Their three-tracker 'Illustrated Machinery EP' showcases the deeper techno sound in its widest range.

Masanori Nozawa is a DJ and Producer based in Utsunomiya City. This is the second 12' released from his own label, Medium.Side A includes The Backwoods aka DJ KENT (Force of Nature) Remix. Previous release on Medium EP was made popular by a remix from Hiroshi Watanabe aka Kaito. This second release is from the main project of Tominori Hosoya, known as the owner of TH Pressing label and has also released on Atmospheric Existence, Suspected Music and more.A1 - Siki' - emotional and openminded Balearic house by Masanori Nozawa. A2 remix from The Backwood starts out in ambient midnight hour mode before expanding into a tight rhythm.B1 - Heat Haze' - fantasy synths and crazy acid invite you into a different world.

Well know for releasing on NI Movement, Disco Soul, Ambassador's Reception & Love Sexy Records.Mastering by Naoya Tokunou who has worked with Denki Groove, Tha Blue Herb, XTAL.All four outstanding tracks will make any dance floor shine that much brighter!

Boogie Box, a bi-monthly party in the Middle East, launches its record label with an LP by STL aka Stephan Laubner.

With tracks and releases on Smallville, Phonica, Echochord and his own label Something Records, STL has crafted an unmistakeable sound that he has become so well known for, Deep and Dubby House and Techno.

The a-side opens up with Hide & Seek, a 10-minute story filled with dub delays, weird soundscapes, and eerie pads, backed up by STL's signature drums. If you are into Andy Stott, Deepchord and Rhythm & Sound, then this if for you. Perfect warm up material.

On the flip-side is Haze & Kraze. Another long player by STL. This time, there is more drive to it. Leaning towards the darker side, the track is driven by Stephan's loose drums' programming, and muffled bassline, keeping the track moving and ever-changing. Something for your after-after-hour sets perhaps


Support from: Appleblim, Endian, Cain, Fold, Itinerant Dub and Juniper.

Morphosis' epic remix is more spaced and spooked than the original — the dread in check — but still body-rocking and stepping out of its silences. B-boy rimshots, a rough snare, a thumping kick-drum and spare bass are layered with emotive synths and brilliant effects, as Shackleton's dream liturgy unfolds in its full, twisted glory — an eerie, garbled sublimity, like a kind of black-magic plainsong. Magnificent work by Rabih Beaini.

In the midst of a busy year, full of wildly-varied accomplishments, David Lieske (aka Carsten Jost) has surprised us all with an unannounced 11-track full-length album on Dial-- his first since 2000's "You Don't Need A Weatherman..." In the interim he's kept busy curating countless releases on Dial, the label he co-runs with Peter "Lawrence" Kersten, celebrated a 15 year label anniversary with an all-encompassing 2LP/various artists'

compilation, released a gallery-edition album of his black ambient collaboration Misanthrope CA with Robert Kulisek, "Deathbridge" and launched a new magazine project (also with Kulisek) named after the speed of light i.e. "299792458m/s". All this activity, even after his recent trans-atlantic relocation from Berlin to New York City, mainly to open the American branch of Mathew Gallery has surely taken us all by welcome surprise.
Out of all of the Dial house and techno artists, Carsten Jost has always represented the most precise brand of exquisitely doom-laden house, laced with equally strong doses of melancholy and beauty. Here on "Perishable Tactics", Lieske runs through his distinctively stealthy low-slung beat-mospheres, leaning towards a decidedly low-lit and sultry space, but mixed with a fresh, gently arc-ing feeling of romance and dare I say itLove() Tellingly he's seen it fit to include 2007's "Love"-one of his best e.p. tracks from a split release with Efdemin. But while "Love" represents a climbing and yearning towards a place where love might reside, the remaining new tracks debuting here seem to represent a place where this love actually exists. This feeling is woven into his deep, medium tempo, detroit-inflected house rhythms, accented with crystalline keys, disembodied voices at times and gently soaring strings. While anger may be less in the forefront here it is important to notice that these tracks are ripe with the balance of joy and unease inherent in house. There is definitely a newfound languidity here that feels particularly like a moment shared by two (perhaps amongst many) but the atmosphere still remains decidedly pensive. See "Ambush" with it's strolling beat, moody yet sweet chords and chilling atmosphere later joined by thunder cracking in an almost-approving-manner a safe-distance away.
Of course diehard fans will find satisfaction knowing that Lieske's delectable angst hasn't completely abated. Title track "Perishable Tactics" takes a disarmingly peaceful setting and rolls a heavy fog over it to herald a sure-to-arrive fate that awaits us all. (See also "Army Green".). But with "Dawn Patrol" the whispering hi-hat and gently clanking rhythm offset by rolling strings marries the old and new Carsten Jost most successfully. All of this atmosphere bookended by ambient intro and outro tracks by Misanthrope CA make for a perfectly foreboding, elegant and deliciously dark new album release by Carsten Jost.

Somewhere between a Dadaistic mixtape, a surreal audio collage sourced from his record collection, and sporadic interjections from his own storehouse of outlandish and intriguing productions, this 79-minute journey reveals Madteo's freewheeling rigor in the studio. Prone to glitching, rhythmic ruptures, and end-times bass frequencies, Confessions surfs quark-infested waters with hallucinogenic logic. Fragmentation rules everything around Madteo. You will hear — among other things — Adderall-addled raps subsumed by mutant techno, radio ads for trance-blues masters Canned Heat, riveting noise-techno merging into lopsided hiphop reminiscent of Jan Jelinek's Exposures project, the passionate folk balladry of Lucio Battisti, the glittery soul of Billy Preston, and some of the coldest and oddest electro funk ever. Throughout, Madteo flaunts baffling, unprecedented sounds arranged in confounding configurations. Confessions of a Permanent Alien Opium Beater is another crucial piece of a discography from one of music's most fascinating enigmas, a celestial lysergic jukebox that conjures new pleasures and deeper mysteries with each listen.

Two hypnotic tracks, both trademarked by deep elements and strongly pervaded with a dub flavour, which turns more and more into a gentle bass drum are now added to our precious collection of Love Songs for Dragons. PFR002 signed ALPI

Dark ambient, precise and minimal. Meeting of C-Drik from belrgium, actually living in Berlin and Munma from Lebanon... Experimental superb album !

From the disputed border somewhere between Lancashire and Yorkshire, G..H. claims a no mans land where he is free to decimate distinctions between black metal and concrète techno by drawing upon an elusive, metaphysical force that's exclusively common to music rooted in that region; from Muslimgauze and Autechre thru Shackleton and Demdike Stare.
The inarguably mongrel Housebound Demigod is G.H.'s debut solo album, following the Ground EP(2011) and his involvement with the hexed Pendle Coven project & HATE, alongside Miles Whittakeand Andy Stott, respectively, between 2003 - 2009.
It sounds like nothing out there; the result of countless hours at the grindstone, using sound as tonal therapy and a purely expressive sculptural material to best render the feel of his bleak but extraordinarily beautiful surroundings with all the rugged texture and captivating aesthetic of some ancient cave graffiti.
The album unfolds as a treacherous topography of boggy drones, entrenched subbass and deforested, windswept feedback, strewn with the charred remains of black metal in opener Screaming Demon Pickups and the hollow-eyed stare down of Angels & Doormen, or prone to burthe senses with unpredictable slow techno mudslides in Mickey Cosmos or the subsidence of Packhorse.
He often underlines that physicality with a drily ambiguous wit; check the bitterly clipped narrative on Yorkshire Fog, or, equally, when he puts all his weight behind the stylus-troubling, bestial shudder of Devils Bit Scabious, and you can't shake the feeling that he's gurning like an eviloon behind the rotten torque of the album's titular parting shot.
While ostensibly monotone, overcast, the devil is found in the album's subtleties of timing and mixing detail; riddled with phantasms that lurk and lash out from the crevices of its granite slabs and pitch black ravines, all placed at oblique angles in his surreally folded, labyrinthine and unheimlich soundfield...

REPRESSED !!
Dutch collaborative label ESHU Records is back with more inventive techno, this time from Tom Liem and Ben Buitendijk on their 'Split 01 EP'. Liem has already released here as J&L (together with label co-founder Jocelyn Abell), and has also done so on one of the excellent Field Records compilations. Now he makes his solo proaction debut, and it is a fine one across two tracks, while Mosaic associate and Rotterdam producer Ben Buitendijk also serves up a fine solo contribution to complete another promosing release. Opener 'Equilibrium Two' from Buitendijk is a perfectly streamlined and serene bit of spaced out, hypnotic techno. Gentle synth pulses roam about the airwaves, left and right, up and down, as ethereal pads glow behind. It's heady dancing music, whilst Liem's 'Contact' is also perfectly aimed at both head and heel. It is full of lick synth pulses that bubble and boil as watery droplets and ticking hits also colour the most subliminal groove. Closer 'This Is All You Need' is a more textured, frazzled cut with frosty lines and rickety pads working you into a trance. Rich drums and clever bass filtration add dynamics and tension and so like everything else here the end result is hugely captivating.

RDV5 brings Dutchman Jamie Lie A Kwie to the black wax with his minimalistic approach to House. This Sound EP includes the track This Sound aptly named after the EP along with Sneakwow and On a Soul Trip. Niko & Kapper are his inspiration and later this year Jamie will support Tini & The Gang. Super stuff.

We are really proud and honored to present ESPECTRUM, a year-long effort to put together a compilation of the best dub techno. The idea was simple, but ambitious: ask some of our favorite artists for one track to epitomize dub techno—the style of music we've loved and continued to develop since our birth as producers and a label. With a very precise idea of what we wanted to collect, the compilation was carefully built with hypnotic, obscure, dense, and magical sounds with an eternal hook. These are the kind of tracks that will never lose their appeal, because they go above and beyond labels, styles, and trends, resisting the passage of time. After the first tracks starting coming in, the idea grew more and more special, and the concept even stronger. We knew we were onto something really big. And, finally, here it is.

Here are no edges only night. The same dream again and again just a little bit different. In the future everything will be the present. No distance and no edges only light years. Large silver clouds inside the eyelids, glittering and electric because of the black space. Planets like eyeshine, things hide in the dark. Listen for what you can't see.

Atmospheric and ambient dub master Yagya serves up Stars and Dust, his seventh full length album and second on Delsin. It finds the Icelandic artist perfectly pair melody and minimalism to create ten more tender tracks that will sooth both body and mind with a range of very real emotions. Electronic but organic, it is another complete work that encourages you to lay back and get lost in sumptuous sound.

To celebrate Kontra-Musik Records hitting the ten-year mark, founder and label owner Ulf Eriksson has put together a collection of some of our finest releases. This has been a daunting task, for we are happy to announce that we could easily have made several very different compilations that we would have been equally contented with - there are so many superb tracks we had to leave out. This has, however, been a labour of love. Much like the label itself. Eclecticism has always been a lodestar for Ulf Eriksson, as we hope this collection gives testimony to. The label has always been moving freely between techno, house and more experimental sounds. Kontra-Musik intends to show different angels of perspective, not to convert you to a new Religion or Ideology. Being open to a broad variety of sounds and rhythms - judging them not solely by their functionality but rather by their personality - has been the Kontra-Musik way from day one. While it has been a crooked and sometimes exceedingly hard road to follow, we're hoping to carry on for several years to come. After 10 years, the label still feels meaningful and current to us - in short: it's still worth it. Kontra-Musik would like to thank everyone - from contributing artists to faithful friends of the label who have supported us all these years. None of this would have been possible without you.

We welcome YWF to the Baum family, with his first release on the label.
The style is raw Dub Techno with an edge. The B side contains a fantastic remix by no other than Sven Weisemann.

Over The Mountains is Segue's second album on Silent Season, a follow up to Pacifica which was released to much praise in 2013. Over The Mountains continues the course in true Segue fashion with an album full of dubbed out atmospheric grooves and deep organic structures. The sound is consumed by nature—immense, enveloping nature in Jordan Sauer's never-ending quest to capture the sublime. The record feels like a nostalgic dream swirling in melodies and buzzing with nature sounds. Over The Mountains is honourably another awe-inspiring album of lush landscapes by this Canadian artist.
