Echologist - Storming Heaven

Echologist aka Brendon Moeller is undoubtedly one of the most hardest working Techno artists around the globe and has left a prolific trademark in the electronic music world. His 10th album, Stroming Heaving' floods us with deep emotions and a unique sound experience. Prologue is always looking for new directions of electronic music and we feel strongly that this album fulfills the Label´s pursuit in a extremely exciting way. It will be treasured for years to come. This is music to immerse oneself in and explore sonic depths and worlds of synthetic sound that resonate on many levels . Brendon's intention for this album was to push himself beyond the comfort zone in an effort to make an album that more than any other project he has done will reveal a distinct and unique voice. While it reflects musical ideas from composers that have inspired him, he has attempted to personalize and interpret and therefore create something idiosyncratic yet nostalgic. 'The Frequency Of Love", the first track shows us what humans can do with machines. This is the perfect way to start the journey into this masterpiece. It is with pride and excitement that we present this to you. Dive in and enjoy the sound of an artist in full bloom.

Rainer Veil - New Brutalism

Rainer Veil

New Brutalism

12inchLOVE92 BLACK VINYL
Modern Love
10.02.2014

Released almost exactly a year on from their debut 'Struck' EP, Liam Morley and Dan Valentine return with 'New Brutalism', an exploration of angular, brittle club music.
Referencing the stripped-down, utilitarian aesthetic of Brutalist architecture (a detail of Preston bus station features on the cover), the 5 tracks here mine looped, blocky source material gradually embellished with more complex percussive and atmospheric layers that are at once robust and introspective.
From the opening woodblock/rave dismantling 'UK WIll Not Survive' to the heady Hardcore of 'Three Day Jag', the EP evokes a distinctly Northern British Weltanschauung, a joyous revelling in melancholy that goes as far back as the earliest dances documented in Mark Leckey's 'Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore' - somehow unique to British nightlife.
The EP closes with the industrial clang of 'Run Out', the cacophony slowly converging into an alignment of percussion and space, trigerring that feeling of re-emerging into daylight at the end of a long night. Blinded by all the light... by all the possibilities.

Jamaican Recordings - Rare Dubs From Jackpot Records

The productions of producer Bunny 'Striker' Lee were so extensive in the early to mid 1970's that labels were created just to handle his ever expanding output.
Three labels that came about during this time when dub was king were Jackpot. Justice and Attack.
Here we look at the Jackpot label and have compiled a collection of some of its finest dub cuts.
Jackpot Records was formed in the early 1970's as a subsidiary of Trojan Records to handle the output from the hitmaker from Jamaica..Bunny 'Striker 'Lee
Bunny was at the birth of dub and worked closely with Dubmaster King Tubby,having his masters stored at Tubbys allowed his rhythms to be worked on by Tubby, whether it was to remix or add vocals to an existing tape,the new interest in the dubbed version would see the next single being worked on for its version side.
We have gathered here what we think are some of the best dubcuts from this label and era..
Hope uou enjoy the set

White Vinyl Pressing!
The Deepblak Chief Alchemist kicks of 2014 with his first EP since relocating to Berlin, and reflects the different modes of the dancefloor experience as filtered thru AYBEE’s metronome. Driving, atmospheric, and at times euphoric AYBEE melds these narratives into an EP that carries the emotional colors of an album. "22 Meters" also sees the vinyl release of "Akiara" a long standing Deepblak favorite from the previous digital "Blaktropolis 2" comp.

George Paar - Despertar Con Otro Nombre

Support from Electric Indigo, Giorgio Gigli, DVS1, Inigo Kennedy, TEA, Henning Baer, NX1, Perc, Deepbass, Ness, Max_M, Exium, Korova, Nax_Acid, Angel Costa, Mark Morris, Anderson Noise, Emanuele Pertoldi, Azterisco, Mattias Fridell, Mike Wall, D. Carbone, Roberto Figus, Adriana Lopez, MTD, Urbano, Tracy, VSK, Future 16, Analogue People
The first track is reminiscent of a military drum ritual dating back to the middle ages in which drums were used to create a melody that would call the soldiers on their feet at dawn. The second original track is a destroyer with intermittent drum patters and analogue bass lines that will leave nothing unaltered. Conrad Van Orton's takes us deep into the eery world that lies beneath us. Patrick Krieger's interpretation is a magical dance floor track with eminent eloquence.

Jon Convex Ft. Dbridge - Lied To Be Loved

Following his solo debut on 3024 with 'Convexations' / 'Falling Again' towards the end of 2011 we're very pleased to welcome Damon Kirkham back to our trans-continental fold again, this time with another long time friend of the label in tow. Since that initial EP, follow up releases on [nakedlunch], Non Plus and his own recently formed Convex Industries imprint have rapidly established the Jon Convex sound in its own right, taking his former group Instra:mental's tireless explorations on the analogue frontier and recalibrating it directly for the warehouse floor. First featured track here is 'Lied To Be Loved', featuring the ever building vocal talents of dBridge (last seen round these parts voicing Martyn's 'These Words'). Diamond tipped drum programming is met with a reprise of 'Convexations' Moroder/Human Centipede bass, fashioned into something far more brooding & glowering here. dBridges vocal drapes it's self over the rhythm section like a particularly unavoidable raincloud as keening synth washes and resigned harmonies build towards a disorientating tension that fragments before ever attempting to resolve. 'Zero' snaps proceedings back into sharp clarity, with the kind of muscular Edison funk that can trace it's lineage back to Dússeldorf via Rotters Golf Clubs, The Scene & Beat Street. An uncompromising forward march of a beat and electronically distorted female syllables vainly fight for space with the Bootsy-by-way-of-Cybertron bass line that arrives to dominate the arrangement, as a morse code anti-melody attempts to fill in the gaps left behind by Boots-atron's trail of destruction. 'Stay' closes the EP, drawing a line under what's come before with perhaps the most melodically refined piece of Convex material so far. Drifting in on billowing synth chords and a deceptively muted electronic kit, a blissfully androgynous vocal trace introduces a synth arpeggio that twists, expands and contracts throughout the tracks duration, sometimes running alongside that same vocal clip before incorporating a second melody at the tracks peak and fading out of sight. Matching the stylistic growth of the material Erosie's artwork retains it's fundamental role in 3024s identity, expanding his collage series into a fresh area of chromatic alchemy and spatial complexity while retaining all the elements of his own style.

Phonogenic - Kumia

Kumia is the title of the 13th release from International Sound Laboratory and is written and produced by ISL artist Tuomas Salmela aka Phonogenic.

Demdike Stare - Testpressing#004

Includes an insert with artwork by Alex Solman and handstamped sleeves

Searing, tormented darkside f**kery from Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty's Demdike Stare on their rinse and run Testpressing series.
A-side 'Fail' is a slowly descending panic attack of pealing hi-end frequencies and impending bass doom reaching a pit of noisy no return.
B-side 'Null Results' bruks loose with a scything jungle attack; frantic 16th note hi-hats and cone-crumpling subs laced with a rudeboy mentasm to incite warehouse capoeira. Come test.

Skymark - Before The Waves Of Serenity

For number 003 on the OFM catalogue Skymark comes up with three smooth effective chicago slow house and techno dub tracks! really dope!
SKYMARK an old passionate of soul, brazilian music, jazz and obscure disco from the mid 60's till the mid 80's. Thanx to his older brothers he have been exposed to these kinds of music since my childhood.
He have been spending most of his spare time practising on the keys and listening to records in search of the soulfull waves that give he the goosebumps and red eyes.
he started recording music since late 2005, some rap, deep house, disco influenced productions. Nowadays he is a bit disconnected from electronic music and i am preparing a kind of brazilian jazz influenced album.
He dont have a specifiq musical genre, He just record what comes out of my soul depending the moment.
Skymark is a very appreciate from artists like : Theo Parrish, MoodyMann and a all the underground music lovers.

Adjowa - Science & Soul

Following his breakthrough release on cult Bristol label Happy Skulls, which carried a tearing Funkineven remix,Adjowa marks his second release of the year with a slamming addition to the DBA DUBS series. Beautiful Swimmers' own Max D (known to his friends, but perhaps not his family, as Maximillion Dunbar), contributes the compulsory US remix on the flip, drawing on the grime, jungle and breakbeat hardcore tropes to create a truly otherworldly banger.

White Visitation - Ancestors

Hailing from Mexico City with a sharply-defined approach to techno and house music, Nicolas Guerrero's sinuously constructed tapestries as White Visitation first attracted our attention with his deft use of acoustic samples and patient, innately focused style. WV joins Styles Upon Styles for his debut vinyl release, Ancestors.


"Permanent Swing" provides a dramatic welcome to the EP, marrying echoing synth chords to a host of distant voices and sleepwalking rhythms. Caught in a threateningly comfortable state of sleep-deprived consciousness, WV weaves the momentum of A1 straight into the rumbling kick drums of "Home" to stirring effect. A sensuously looped guitar sample filters in and out of view while percussion and washes of plaintively played synthesizer layer slowly, brick-by-brick, over the track's thundering chassis of sub-kicks.

Sigha - Abstractions I-iv

Hotflush presents the return of Sigha with a new EP entitled 'Abstractions I-IV', his sixth on the label. On this release he reaches into darker territory, beginning with a beatless, ambient suspension, drawing the listener in his submerged sonic sphere before dropping into a series of chilling compositions that seem to seethe and smolder at sub-zero temperatures, adorned with haunting electronic blips and synthetic machinations throughout. Having already gathered support from many figures in the electronic world over the last year including Marcel Dettmann, Brendon Moeller and Francois K, as well as making appearances on Scuba's recent DJ-KICKS mix compilation with 'Where I Come To Forget' amongst others, James Shaw continues to make his mark with 'Abstractions'.

Hunab & Jorge Bule - Environments

Jorge Bule , The Iberian artist ushers in dubby basslines but drowns them in shards of metal. You would be forgiven for thinking this was Dub Techno, or even Electronica. Epic_Deep

The label founder Hunab, moulds complex compositions of swimming soundscapes. Twinkling melodies are supported by cymbals and broad bass. A longing gaze back to the structures of Electronica is linked with smudges of Dub and Industrial to produce a hazy and soulful sound.
