Mike Dehnert - Lichtbedingt 2x12"

Three years after his last full-length album on Delsin, tireless techno producer Mike Dehnert is back with another one to be released on March 17th 2014. The 104th release on Delsin, entitled Lichtbedingt, counts 12 tracks and is yet another subtle evolution away from the chord driven, functional sound he has championed before now.

Since his last album, Dehnert has continued to steer his Fachwerk label through the techno undergrowth and it has now amassed more than 25 releases in all. At the heart of the label's output has been Dehnert's own increasingly experimental techno and this new album is testament to the producer's continued exploration of the form. Where Framework was, in the words of Mike himself, 'focussed on the heavy techno form', this album explores broken bass, swinging house and beatless electronic experimentalism amongst other things.
'I love to release music. I still enjoy the album writing process very much,' says Mike, before adding, 'I have noticed that sometimes the success of a track depends on the light at club, which is why the album is called Lichtbedingt, meaning 'depends on light!''

The album starts off with a suitably sombre intro that features cold, slowly shifting synths. They set an uneasy and moody tone before 'Construction' settles into a fat, swaggering. From there you get lost in broken, ruptured, malfunctioning bits of hardware that spit out random hi hats, bleeps and gurgles and then eventually get spat out the other side into a cantering bit of dubwise techno with paranoid vocal snippets.

Moving along, the album throws plenty of diverse influences into the mix: 'Movement' is freaky and dynamic, skipping and pumping, ducking and diving through all sorts of occult synth sounds and shadowy vocal loops then 'Single Action' is like a sledge hammer groove run through with harmonic elements that glint and glisten like diamonds in the rough. Classic sounding Dehnert tracks like 'ReRe' remind us where this producer has come from, whilst the breezy house swagger of 'Emlo' show us where he might be headed.

Key to this album and Dehnert's output as a whole is, besides the killer grooves, the production: crisp and clean, full blooded and always outstanding, it makes his tracks leap out of the speakers and into minds, bodies and souls without relying on the usual tropes or same old cheap tricks.

Monomood - Absolute Control Remixes

"Relating back to the Etui Records roots of Monomood, Abstract Animal presents the remixes of "Absolute Control" that originally appeared on ETUILTD 003.
Who can be more suitable for transforming the heavy chord sounds of the original into a forward pushing floor behemoth than 50 weapons multi talented sound artist Benjamin Damage In addition to that Monomood took a re-edit of his own track and put a even more dark and industrial feel on it. To close the circle Etui Records mastermind and Dresdens very own Insect O. converts the originals four to floor rhythm to a broken beat machine funk monster."

Chance McDermott native of Kalamazoo, halfway between Detroit and Chicago (the birthplaces of techno and house music) grow up listening to radio hot mix tapes from DJ's like the Wizard(aka Jeff Mills) to Farley Jack Master Funk, although resources were limited in Kalamazoo it was only a matter of time before he was on his way to synthesisers, drum machines, and sequencers. He started creating his own sound, a unique style of Detroit hard minimal funky techno with a Chicago deep soulful sound of house. He quickly began to garner attention in 1994 as Chancellor on Black Nation Records, which caught the attention of labels in Europe such as Missile, and Sativae Recordings. Chance continues to release music all over the planet that inspires others keeping the legacy alive.

I try not to repeat myself, and always try something that feels challenging.

Dusty Kid - Iii

Dusty Kid

CDISOLA001CD
Isolade
10.02.2014

Dusty Kid's third album is a cinematic experience of almost 2 hours listening conceived as a single piece of music, like a wall of bricks that strictly belong to each other to give the whole album a well defined story.The album, mixed by using few different vintage consoles and recording everything on a reel-to-reel tape in order to get a more alive and lofi result, moves towards a very underground feeling.There are no easy-listening melodies (don't expect in fact any "America" or "Lynchesque", any "Kore" or "Chentu Mizas") but it rather sounds like a saga of dirty, confused, delirious, sometimes bizzare and ridiculous, very dark techno moments.
"III" might remind of a noir-horror-fantasy movie to watch with eyes closed and where the listener is the main character who can play like in a 'shoot-em-up game made of many levels. The sinister calm of the opening, made of the leftfield acid ambient landscapes and industrial noises of the first 4 tracks, preannounces that something is going to happen and leads the listener into a further level of the game where entrance is initially restrained by a man at the door "He Won't Let You In".
Once got through listener is taken onto a further level and enters the "Leather Bears Cinematic Suite".The 5-tracks "suite" is a deep journey into the 90's techno with its first track "Doom" being an almost metallurgical hell as the listener climbs the stairs that will lead him into the main scene. From now on what the listener will see is just what he would expect to see there...the title of the "suite" says it all! "Pandemonium" and "Dark Room" really seem to drive the listener inside a wonderfully painted idea of what's going on in there.
As the listener takes the "Exit 12", that with its lofi and dark mix perfectly describes the feeling after a night spent in the "suite" and echoes of "Flashback" from the previous night still echoing in his confused and distorted mind, the journey goes even more deeply into the 90's techno. "Yota Wave" is in fact a skillfully grotesque recreation of a futuristic techno trance experimentalism of the early Plus-8 records. Level after level listener goes on in the game and while "In The Wood" sounds like a track recorded from the radio with a poor quality cassette, the triad "Prelude"-"Omega Y" and "Omega X" just seems to be a track coming out from another track which comes from another track like in a concentric way."Escape" follows in the same key as the previous triad with a flying ethereal athmosphere followed by a massive tribal anthem as "Idklip" explodes while the listener approaches the final level of the game."Ending", a simple pronounced piano note that lays on a tender carpet of soffused strings and far reverbs leads the listener to the light at the end of this journey.

Metropolis , Shawn O Sullivan, Echo 106 - Ephemeral Nature

Sequencias number 10 should give anyone unfamiliar with the label a good idea of what we're about. Three very different artists have given us three very different tracks—collectively forming a sort of manifesto. Experimentation, rhythm and reflection are all given equal weight on this record. As with everything we present, it is all in the service of expressing the flawed and the human.

Nick Lapien returns once again as Metropolis, starting off the EP with the miniature epic "Balefire". Just shy of ten minutes, the beatless undulating cypher flows and fluctuates, its tangle of vibrating arpeggiated melodies whip about gaining momentum, falling into the ether. Brooklyn's Shawn O'Sullivan comes through with "Corypha", a straight up club track showcasing some well-crafted modular treacle over a tough brokenbeat. Mathematics affiliates Echo 106 close out the compilation with the meandering Chicago-facing "Withered Leaves". Tried and true box work merely sets the stage here with haunting melodies at the forefront, floating towards a swell of doleful synths as an emotional coda.

Prologue Music

Edit-Select is the project of Scottish DJ Tony Scott and one of the pioneers of deep driven hypnotic Techno. Already confirmed with tracks like Bauer on Ostgut Ton or his own label 'Edit Select' Tony belongs to the best and most respected techno producers in the world. Nearly all of his techno tracks have been played and charted by all Techno DJ s. But that's was not the reason to sign the album 'Phlox". No, we really think the moniker Edit Select with all his passion for deep driven techno track is more than a perfect fit into our label philosophy. Tony s ability to design real hypnotic was already recognized from us for years now. So much the more we are extremely proud to present 'Phlox' a extremely doped mixture between emotional ambient tracks and very effective sci-fi tricks tracks moving to hypnotic monsters for the dance floor. We see as well a new Bauer version, one of the best techno tracks ever in our opinion and last glad our mate Dino Sabatini has contributed on track 'Survivors Of The Pulse' . Phlox will be available late February as vinyl version.

Cocoon Recordings - Neun

Cocoon Recordings very own "best of" series presents the next issue which is again simply called by
the number of the release-order. So it's number - nine' this time ("Neun"). Yep, you heard right, number
nine it is and another proof how fast time is passing while we listen to house and techno ;)

Sven Väth has choosen Chris Tietjen again to compile and mix the pearls of the last Cocoon
Recordings releases. Tietjen started as a young gung in Väths Cocoon Booking agency and
developed into a proper club-dj over the last years. He even released his first solo-12" on Cocoon
Recordings in 2012 which marked his final arrival in the techno-business.

Tietjens progression as a DJ is clearly noticeable here as he laid down a very elegant and smooth
overall mix. He delivered one of the best of his mix-compilations so far. He starts the journey with two
Matt John and one Minilogue track which creates a very moody and warm introduction. The transition
into the following part can be seen as a kind of "warm up" one would like to hear in a good techno-
club. Next in the mix are Adam Port, Popof (Animal & Me) and Nick Curly who step by step feed the
mix with more energy. From minute 22 onwards the mix starts to kick in and the bass-cabinets of your
speakers should defintely move stronger now.

Limited Green Vinyl Prssing!
With only one release to her name so far, the excellent 'Orz' tape for the Reckno label, plus a regular show on NTS, the artist who may or not be a pseudonym for visual designer Jason Kerley returns here with her first release pressed to wax, a 30-minute odyssey that glides into the hardcore continuum and re-shapes various forms and formulations of electronic music along the way. 'sssssssss' is a 30 minute trip split into two continuous sides that run like a mixtape, coming to life on the frazzled low-end modulation 'Fingerbang', through the fractured, minimized UKG overhaul 'Swoon', the delicate, micrsocopic electronics of 'Sex Smell' and the growling mentasm Grime of 'No Liquid'. We can't think of many records we've had through our doors that borrow as much from the UK techno/Artificial Inteligence espoused by the likes of early 90's labels such as Likemind as they do from the frequency fuckery of Evol and Playstation engineered Grime and Garage - but Skyler manages it effortlessly. The standout moment of the album comes with 'Langwellig', conjuring the spirit of early rave with the barest ingredients, lost in a haze of ferric smoke that feeds into the next transition on this forever-shifting trip...

Kastil / Adryiano - Uattefak

Limited Pink Vinyl Pressing!
In recent times Soul Notes tilted a little towards more groove driven, distortion laden
machine funk. SNX001 is the missing release out of the SNX series thus far. Label head honcho
Kastil joins up with Cologne based "Adryiano', who is quickly becoming one of the labels favorite household names.
The signature SNX sounds is developing into a dark psych-oriented club sound which this EP represents as never before. The opening track ''Snakes and Holes'' is pure percussive machinery with the heaviest overdriven kickdrums you'll ever hear. On the A2, Adryiano sets the mood with a low swinging bass and some eardrum deafening kicks which progresses into the B1 which is perced out to the max with some 303 bassline drama and distortion to top that off.
For the B2 track, head honcho kastil shows off some Lo-fi drum action on Controversy.

Deadbeat & Paul St Hilaire - The Infinity Dub Sessions

Deadbeat. Tikiman. Infinity. Dub. A quadrangle of such obvious statement and perfect musical inference.

Deadbeat. Tikiman. Infinity. Dub. A quadrangle of such obvious statement and perfect musical inference may very well never have been uttered for those of the wholly weeded out persuasion. Indeed, when the great book of Dub music is written the names Scott Monteith and Paul St Hilaire will undoubtedly figure highly in its chapters devoted to recent years. Monteith, the last great prodigal son of the doctrine handed down from the Blue Mount of Lord Scratch and King Tubby, St Hilaire the undisputed voice of a generation, those fanatical warrior monks, followers of the most Holy House of Ernestus and Von Oswald incarnate.

Having developed a fast friendship from their very first meeting in Montreal at the premier Micro Mutek event a decade ago, Deadbeat and Tikiman's occasional collaborative performances have since blown the minds of audiences from Berlin to Tokyo and many points in between. No great surprise then that their first album length venture is a Tour de Force of Dub music of the highest order.

Nearly a year in the making, the genetic code of Deadbeat's Infinity Dubs series gets shot through with a Dreader than Dread Kingstonian logic, hi hats dropping back from the three to the one, Tikiman at his most militant, poetic, fierce, and flowing. These are the recordings of two lions uncaged, and none who bare witness shall escape their fiery judgement.

If music is truly eternal, here be two voices which shall echo in infinity with all the weight, reverence, and dire power unleashed with every tectonic bass hit, and every whimsical turn of phrase. And if these eight burnt offerings are any indication of what happens when these two sit down for a session of smoke and reasoning, here's hoping they choose to do it frequently. Dub without end. Ad Infinitum.

Arnaud Le Texier - Why Not Peeps Ep

Arnaud Le Texier cut his teeth managing music shops and building a huge collection of records during the nineties. His vast knowledge of the house and techno scenes led him to establish two widely acclaimed underground labels: Atcha, along with British dj James Warren, and Kailash. In 2005, he founded Safari Electronique, a more personal and experimental imprint that focuses on minimalistic sounds and sensual dance-floor oriented grooves. Since moving to London, Arnaud has been playing at some of the most famous clubs of the English capital such as T-Bar, Kubicle, Secret Sundaze and, most importantly, Fabric, where he held some memorable parties for his label. This ep sees the France born producer coming back to Aloe Records with an impressive and utterly elegant set of tracks: "Global Swift"'s deep, warm chords strum along emotional vocals and a rolling bass line, while "Recharges"' delicate pad melodies and intricate and subtle vocal snippets welcome loopy filtered trippy and mesmerizing synth stabs, 909 rim shots and a slightly off-beat sounding clap. "Platinum" is lively, boasting yet more 909 craziness and a mind altering ebullient spectral arpeggio, underlined by a chugging kick drum: a straightforward banger, this one shows Arnaud's harder and uncompromising side. The release closes off with "Digital Waves", where the monolithic bass is matched by a steady progression: a chemical feeling made human by the tune's lolloping sense of propulsion.

Eduardo De La Calle - Suprawax005
 
2

Two new SUPRAWAX releases by Eduardo De La Calle. The four tracks on offer here bear testimony to De La Calle's search for the perfect loop. They are hypnotic grooves, almost entirely devoid of arrangement in a classical sense. But the tracks are not static. They suck you in by means of constant modulations, build free flowing structures of their own, hints of peaks emerging at the mercy of the low frequency oscillators' cleverly set phase relationships. These tracks do not need the in-your-face kick drums and squashed dynamics of the Brickwall Generation. By leaving space, they work on a different level than solely sound pressure emanated. The simple, repetitive structure coupled with the unhasty development find their way into the dancer's brain. Moving your mind—your ass to follow suit. All records have been pressed in a run of 400 copies and come in inside-out natural cardboard sleeves. No represses are planned at present.

Jack Dice - Sip Paint

Jack Dice

Sip Paint

12inchLOVE93
Modern Love
24.02.2014

The second EP from Jack Dice sees a huge leap in ambition for the project, a 5 track session that's more addictive, direct and heady than its predecessor.
'Sip Paint' centres around 'Stash's Theme' featuring rapper and producer Stash Marina, a track that deploys crisp triplets and saturated production straddling mainstream signatures on the one hand and a world of analogue/deviant recording techniques on the other. It's an odd, hyper-addictive track - available here in both vocal and instrumental versions.
'Low Glo', 'Kerosene' and 'Radium Dial' are more subdued and immersive; you could draw lines straight through the material here to a number of different projects Twells has been involved with through the last decade, though he seems to benefit immeasurably from Chambliss' presence. The pair find a perfect balance between their respective disciplines, resulting in an EP that at different points throws stylistic references to everything from Prince's Black Album to The Art of Noise, Drake, Philip Jeck and Evian Christ's DUGA 3 sessions - without ever sounding overworked or too knowing, a feat in itself.

Hello there,
second round in the little hill,
for this ride, rave in the hill ep, we have more techno raw material, another two original tracks from label-head Lorentz, with techno-stomped works. Here little hill team-up Roberto Bosco (Wave music) wich propose a remix full of atmposphere and again Owl (Bpmfamily) strike us with his strong interpretation!
