Agenda Mr. Mitsuhirato (DJ)

G-Star Raw at Tokyo Designer’s Week

The 75 metre-squared glass booth plays host to a series of handcrafted objects (made from denim naturally), waxed denim coats, a selection of NY Raw Special edition garments alongside highlights of the Spring Summer ‘08 catwalk collection. Quite apart from the obvious benefits of opening up the label to a crowd that won’t be as familiar with the brand as those at home on the front row during fashion week, it’s a bigger statement by G-Star about design as a whole. The company has described its space as an ‘infotainment environment’, which we take to mean a display of fashion and design objects intending to show how the two disciplines are no longer so separate, nor confined to their designated fashion week or design festival. And if the Spring/Summer shows just passed are anything to go by - where we witnessed a burgeoning trend for collaboration between the worlds of fashion and art, architecture and industrial design - then G-Star is certainly one step ahead of its denim peers. in wallpaper [Here]

VA - Detroit Beatdown Vol.2, EP 2

VA - Detroit Beatdown Vol.2, EP 2 (Third Ear) Comentários: It is four and a half years since Third Ear released Detroit Beatdown Volume One (3ECD/LP-001). The first of the three volumes of the Detroit Beatdown Third Ear project was completed with the cd release of the complete Detroit Beatdown Remixes in 2006 (3ECD-043). Volume Two will be spread across 5 eps (12" vinyl and DL releases) through 2007 and 2008. A 2xcd and limited vinyl box set will complete DB2 before getting into the remixes and Detroit Beatdown Sessions eps again. Check! A1: Kelli Hand ‘Escape In Detroit’ Kelli Hand is the first lady of Detroit electronic dance music, arguably the first lady of electronic dance music. A producer and DJ with a phenomenal track record, she once again delivers a storming dance floor track. Typical Kelli Hand quality production. Think Paperclip People. Yes, that good. A2: Pirahnahead feat. Yaminah Brock ‘I Do Love You’ Soulful House track with quality programming and musicianship from Pirahnahead. Pirahnahead is still relatively unknown, but already has a reputation. Last year, ISOUL8 and Innervisions asked Pirahnahead to remix ISOULl8’s ‘Give It Up’. Pirahnahead has also released on KDJ’s Mahohani imprint. B1: Drivetrain ‘Tre 2’ Drivetrain is Derrick Thompson, founder of Soiree International Records and producer of many top Detroit tracks. This is another deep grooving dance floor track in the same vibe as Smith & Halll’s ‘Theme’ on DB2/1 (3EEP-076). Is it House? Is it Techno? What does it matter? This is kicking electronic rhythm and soul. B2: Inohs Sivad feat. Diamondancer ‘Somewhere Else’. Like Black Art Music on DB2/1 Inohs Sivad is another talented newcomer from Detroit introduced through Third Ear’s Detroit Beatdown releases. She is an accomplished singer/songwriter and this is her first electronic dance music production. This is a hypnotic track reminiscent of early Claude Young or Shake Shakir productions. Classic early 90s Detroit Techno vibe with Diamondancer and Inohs Sivad giving a warm dreamy vocal over the top. This is a very original track and one we are sure will create a buzz. in rushhour

LINKWOOD FAMILY/FUDGE FINGAS & HIS FIDGESTY FRIENDS - Firecracker EP 03

LINKWOOD FAMILY/FUDGE FINGAS & HIS FIDGESTY FRIENDS - Firecracker EP 03 (Firecracker) Comentários: "hear the sun" is a psychedelic deep house cut of the finest quality. bulbous bass line, bongos, whispering voices, tenor sax snippets, and the icing on the cake is a synth line reminiscent of angel choirs. This is something that Theo Parrish or Moodyman might drop for the 6 am sunrise kiddies boogying into oblivion. this is deep spooky shit that would fit in perfectly in a David Lynch flick. The rest of the tracks on this album are also of high quality. Not to mention the album art is one of a kind (including the inner sleeve). in discogs [Para Ouvir/Samples]

OMAR S [FXHE 001] oferta de natal

Another scarily limited slice of Detroit history - this very first Omar S 12" was first released seven years ago with only 70 copies pressed the world over (not to be confused with AOS001) and has now been cleverly re-pressed in another limited run. "001" is another fabulous excursion through the seedier edges of Detroit machine music, beautifully flawed, organic House music and Techno variations that remind you of many of Omar's peers, but somehow displaying his unique ruffige in a manner that's both significantly less refined and substantially more daring than so many of the usual suspects. in boomkat

HISTERESIS [FILTRO 020]

[Es] La histéresis es la tendencia de un material a conservar una de sus propiedades en ausencia del estímulo que la ha generado. En este caso, hacemos referencia al lapso durante el cuál nuestro sello se mantuvo en hibernación relativa; un tiempo empleado en la reflexión sobre rumbos y destinos. Histéresis le da título a nuestro lanzamiento número 20, un recopilación con artistas de México, Chile, Japón y Estados Unidos que da cuenta del avance y las mutaciones de la estética de Fitlro. [Eng] Hysteresis is a property of systems that do not instantly follow the forces applied to them, but to react slowly, or do not return completely to their original state. In this case, we are talking with this term about an analogy to our relative hibernation: in this pause we had a chance to think about our route to follow as a label. So we named Hysteresis to our 20th release, one with the participation of artists from México, Chile, Japón and the US. This is the evolution of our aesthetic. [Download]

JAHTARI RIDDIM FORCE [JTR NET 15]

JAHTARI RIDDIM FORCE - Farmer In The Sky / Depth Charge Rootah and Disrupt unite again for an extremely smoked out jam session on two forgotten Wackies riddims as the "Jahtari Riddim Force". What you hear now is the result of when analogue gear pushed to its limits clashes with a sensi- circuit-bent Laptop... "Farmer In The Sky" comes along with a laid back but tricky bass pattern, hypnotically driven offbeats, a great organ line by Dub navigatah John Frum and generally lots of surprises up the sleeve of your virtual space suit. All that while giving a nod to Robert A. Heinlein's classic SciFi-novel of the same title. On side B "Depth Charge" lifts off full force with deep echo madness, wide explosions in 3D, basslines coming straight from a Black Hole and crunchy 8bit-Gamma-rays from beyond the dibbi dibbi rings of Saturn!

BASIC SOUL UNIT - Tunnels

BASIC SOUL UNIT - Tunnels (Mule Electronic Japan) Comentários: After his nice releases for Versatile, Stuart Li aka Basic Soul Unit unleashes a new single on Mule. His sound is always deep and hypnotic, reminiscent of the classic techno sound. "Dancing in my mind" is a beautiful mid tempo house track with strings & piano. The title track "Tunnels" is 90s style classic electro sound while Sebo K's remix is more on a deep house tip, a huge tracks for the floors! Stuart Li aka Basic Soul Unit was born in Hong Kong, China and raised in Toronto, Canada. His interest in club music started as a teenager in the late 80's listening to Toronto's independent radio stations and hanging out in the multicultural city's thriving after hours warehouse parties where DJ's were playing New York, Chicago and Detroit based house music. Working at Cosmos Records store during the late 90's led Stuart to dig further into disco, jazz, soul, funk, Latin, Brazilian. During the late 90's, Stuart started Djing various musical styles at various lounges, bars and clubs in Toronto. With this wide spectrum of interest in music, Stuart's strength as a DJ is his versatility. Depending on the night and the crowd, he can throw down Detroit influenced techno, Jacking Chicago style sounds, Soulful NYC house, minimal European tracks, disco, jazz, funk, Latin, Brazilian, broken beat and sometimes even a combination of all these. Currently, Stuart is resident (alongside Patrick Paredes & Jason Ulrich) at the house & techno based "Vintage!" Saturday nights at TOI Bar in Toronto, as well as a jazz, funk & crossover monthly event called "Footprints" (with Jason Palma & General Eclectic). His travels have taken him to various spots like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, San Francisco, Frankfurt and Montreal. Stuart started producing as Basic Soul Unit in 2003 with his first song "Basic Soul" on Toronto's Iwanai Music. As with his Djing style, Stuart's music can swing from lush and soulful Detroit inspired numbers to jacking minimal beats (all with hints of above). in loop 23 [Para Ouvir/Samples]

VIBERT, Luke - Kerrier District

VIBERT, Luke - Kerrier District (Rephlex) Comentários: Back in stock! Luke Vibert pulls out the cheeky titles and grooved up disco vibes for his latest long player on Rephlex. Coming a few months after his ‘Yoseph’ debut album for Warp, ‘Kerrier District’ finds Luke in vibrant form, 10 tracks complete with bubbling basslines, subtle and sweet vocal samples and some classic analog action. Named after a district in Cornwall where Luke and pals grew up he parodies the Metro Area explosion by delivering an album of original disco classics for the 21st century. Opening with ‘Lets Dance And Freak’ a vocal spaced out disco number with vintage ‘party time’ samples and pogo-ing disco tom drums Luke fetches the track up to date with his monstrous 303 bassline that cements the track as a killer. With all manner of samples and noises appearing it continues in classic Vibert form, content, groove and a damn good understanding of Disco is the perfect combination. ‘Illogan’ heads straight for the Dan Hartman (Take That?) school of disco with its ‘Relight My Fire’ melody stabbing away, but Luke keeps it deep with a swooping funk bassline and wah wah guitar samples running in sync. On to “New York” which is just rampant hedonistic action from Luke as he visits the Big Apple with his 70’s synths and finger clicking drums, delving into a feelgood mood for the spaced out strings and horn like chord stabs that deliver an ace groove. ‘Disco Bus’ is a perfect chick tune, ass shuffling bass joins the padding 4/4 with vibes echoing around the beat, a cheesy sounding piano stabbing out a brilliant psuedo Italo melody and the fundamental vocal snippets that add the vintage feel, brilliant stuff. A class album from Vibert that shows as with every other genre he’s touched he can pull it off and here he evokes a classic era and fetches it right up to date. Killer. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

JUJU & JORDASH - Time Slip

JUJU & JORDASH - Time Slip (Real Soon) Comentários: Amsterdam's JuJu and Jordash throw down some super slowed-down house structures on the A-side of this new EP for the London-based Real Soon imprint, with softened drums and warm, easy going basslines being the order of the day. The B-side 'Fajr Dub' takes things a little further, going off at the deep end with some space echo weirdness, sounding like Pole might have, had his filter never broken. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

THE DIRTBOMBS / PITCH BLACK CITY - Kung

THE DIRTBOMBS / PITCH BLACK CITY - Kung (Mahogani US) Comentários: The real killer here is a version of 'Runaway' by Pitch Black City, a loose collaborative entity comprised of several Detroit musicians, including percussionist Andrés, vocalist Roberta Sweed, and keyboardist Amp Fiddler. A one-sided 12" credited to PBC appeared on Mahogani in 2003, and they were also featured on Moodymann's 'Silence In The Secret Garden' LP on Peacefrog that same year. 'Runaway' is one of those typically Kenny Dixon style tracks that has a spacey intro with a breathy spoken word piece, followed by a short, nodding house cut... in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

HIORTHOY, Kim - My Last Day

HIORTHOY, Kim - My Last Day (Smalltown Supersound Norway) Comentários: In the seven years that have passed since Kim Hiorthoy's still excellent debut album Hei (arguably a forerunner of the now ubiquitous folktronica scene), his reputation as a graphic designer has become the defining aspect of his multi-faceted career. In record sleeve art alone, Hiorthoy has turned out an enormously impressive body of work - particularly for the Rune Grammofon and Smalltown Supersound labels. What's true of both his musical and graphic endeavours is that Hiorthoy has a singular, distinctive voice. Consequently it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that as a musician not too much has been added to or removed from Hiorthoy's sound since Hei, and My Last Day is every bit as homely and lo-fi as its predecessor. Heck, he's even called one of the tracks here 'Same Old Sh*t', which is as insightful a title as it is self-deprecating. However, as 2004's Live Shet proved, Hiorthoy isn't shy of slipping one or two more danceable elements into his delightfully amateurish world of warm, sample-based electronica. The opening track 'I Thought We Could Eat Friends' kicks off with a bit of a Zombie Nation feel to it, which initially comes as something of a surprise, but quickly all the familiar Hiorthoy hallmarks crop up, and by the time you reach 'Skuggan', a folksy ballad comprised of piano and out of tune strings (not to mention the obligatory potting shed beats) you'll find yourself back in familiar territory. When you have a sound as instantly recognisable as Hiorthoy's there's hardly any need for regular overhauls - I for one would much rather he kept loading his MPC with samples from old records and incidental sounds from around his house than if he started using regularly updated, homogenising software like the masses of charmless electronica gearhounds out there. Long may he repeat himself. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

ARP - In Light

ARP - In Light (Smalltown Supersound) Comentários: Like Vetiver's Andy Cabic, San Francisco's Alexis Georgopoulos is an alumnus of Krautrock-inspired rhythmic adventurers Tussle, although Georgopoulos only left the band recently, after their recent Telescope Mind album was completed. This album marks something of a departure from his old band's disco experiments and instead brilliantly captures the zeitgeist's fascination with new age solo synthesizer exploration. An obvious reference point would be one of 2007's great unearthed treasures: the reissue of 1982's highly influential Wizards LP, by J.D. Emmanuel. In Light is probably a far more approachable work than Wizards, defined by warmer, more melodious tones and hints at a kind of retro-conscious fuzziness, yet the album retains an air of the experimental through its referencing of 20th century minimalism and drone. In keeping with the old-fashioned approach to analogue experimentation Georgopoulos recorded the album live, and it certainly has a meandering quality to it, despite being propelled by tautly regimented synth pulses as on 'Potentialities' and 'Premonition Of The Sculptor Steinberg' (which sounds a bit like Cluster reworking the Rhubarb & Custard theme song). The album wraps up on a slight deviation from the formula by dropping electric piano loops and what sound like synth-cello phrases into a Terry Riley-inspired format. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

NAGUAL SOUND EXPERIMENT - Invisible Movements

NAGUAL SOUND EXPERIMENT - Invisible Movements (Liquid) Comentários: Sprawling 15 track dubstep odyssey from the Nagual Sound Experiment, the downtempo project of pioneering psy-breaks artist Mood Deluxe. The album opens with its softest gambit, with "Systema" offering an almost coffee table vibe draped around airy vocals that have a slightly kooky mid 90's vibe about them. From here on in, though, things get much better, with tracks like "Bad Breed" and "Three Gold Stripes" keeping it suitably darkside, while album closer "Hexorcism" is an out and out Burial tribute, with the same kind of rolling drums and treated vocals, albeit with a slightly less refined use of synths and crescendo. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

REGINA, Donna - More

REGINA, Donna - More (Karaoke Talk) Comentários: Donna Regina, the Cologne pop-pairing of Regina Janssen and Gunther Janssen, seem to have blossomed since emerging from the German avant-pop scene in the early 90's. With More, the group's tenth LP, the duo further elaborate on the sonic and compositional chemistry which hallmarked their last release, 2005's delicate slice of pop melancholia, Slow Killer. Donna Regina's sound is a fresh yet not-so-distant entity, perching itself in a niche somewhere between the ethereal soundscapes of Mum, St. Etienne's direct dream-pop and Psapp's understated electronics. With "More" the immediate impact once submerged inside its ten-cut space is the pervading sense of hope and rejuvination the band have come to adopt. It is Regina's unaffected, silken vocals which are invaluable in this new line of discourse. In fleeting pop gem Good Morning Day, a Beatlesque piano chord progression is illuminated with her soft plea "Come on dear day, lets try to start anew". More is anchored by such moments, in which delivery achieves as much in intonation as content. The spectre of Nico looms over the acoustic guitar led "To Be Around" but the best is kept till the end with the sublime album closer "Dream On". Amongst tremolo organ, glockenspiel and upright piano, Regina's vocal somehow captures the central concern of the outfit as she sings "I wish for something i've never seen, I wish you many wishes, I wish you many dreams, I wish one day you long for something you have never seen." A record belonging deep in winter period, its swet melancholy designedto carry you through the season's fading light. Utterly Lovely. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

COMMIX - Call To Mind [Album da Semana]

COMMIX - Call To Mind (Metalheadz) Comentários: (London, UK) - For critics of D'n'B, there can be the tendency to call it predictable. Tearing Amen-break heavy flex-outs, maybe some ragga vocals, a little time-stretching… just general darkness on the whole? Well, in just the same way as house and particularly techno are growing and changing, D'n'B is morphing too - into newer avenues that are more subtle and interesting than ever before. Still have some doubts? Well check out Commix' Call To Mind and call us in the morning… The best drum and bass records throw aside what has gone before, preferring to re-ignite their chosen genre by expanding it. Most recently this has been done by Pendulum on their rocky Hold Your Colour, now witness Commix (aka Goerge Levings and Guy Brewer) adding in some techno touches and even some real Philadelphia Soul to proceedings on their new album, Call to Mind. When they created the machine funk that we now know as techno, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins saw themselves as playing 'high-tek soul' (a term May plays under now). So, even though we may find Call To Mind as an album an unusual mix, we may be sure that the Detroit godfathers wouldn't - to them, it's part of the same melting pot. This is the future of drum and bass and it's fittingly released on Metalheadz - Goldie's groundbreaking imprint that remains the most well-known label in the D'n'B fraternity. Call To Mind encompasses 11 tracks spanning Levings' and Brewer's musical knowledge: from the hip-hop of Change, which features The Nextmen, to the techy bleepiness of opener Bet True and it's follow-on track Bellview, via the soulful yet minimal Spectical, there's a lot on offer here. It's drum and bass... but not as we know it. in 356 mag [Para Ouvir/Samples]

CASPA & RUSKO - Fabriclive. 37

CASPA & RUSKO - Fabriclive. 37 (Fabric) Comentários: The latest in the influential Fabriclive series comes from dubstep stars Caspa and Rusko, who introduce the Fabric masses to the sound of South London by way of dub plates and genre classics, dropping in some unexpected genre benders to keep the more informed amongst us on our toes. Caspa as dubsteppers will no doubt know is one of the new wave of producers who isn't afraid to shake up a party a little, adding rave stabs and jump-up basslines to the mix, and occasionally pushing the tempo higher than the usual 103 bpm. It pays off too and at times you'd be forgiven for forgetting that you're listening to dubstep at all, with tracks like Rusko's Catchphrase-sampling 'Mr Chips' sounding dangerously like Euro techno at times. It was bound to happen when you think about it, the moody boys of dubstep could never win - I mean you never get the girls if you're just standing around the back nodding your head up and down, you've got to lay down some moves, and Caspa seems willing to provide the soundtrack to that. There's some killer whitelabel action from Skream (under the contract dodging Skreamz moniker), Rusko and Caspa himself, but the classics here are the ones that catch your attention, most obviously Matty G's 50,000 Watts and Coki's 'tune of the year' 'Sponge Bob'. Hot. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

SKREAM/VARIOUS - Rinse: 02

SKREAM/VARIOUS - Rinse: 02 (Rinse) Comentários: Following up on the success of the Geeneus-mixed Rinse 01, dubstep wunderkind Skream mans the helm weaving a slew of his own new works into a mix that features productions by Kode 9, Coki, Benga, Rusko & Caspa, Hijak, Culture, Distance and D1. Skream's material is represented not only by a number of fresh original compositions but a host of remixes too, including reinterpretations of Zinc's 'Film', Distance's 'Night Vision' and a collaborative overhaul of his own 'Find Some Way' with Plastician. After the sirens and crunching handclaps of Culture's 'Steppin' Outta Babylon', Skream steps into the frame with one-minute interstitial cut 'Wobble That Gut' only to throw some fractured breaks and pipe melodies into his co-production 'Sandsnake' with Cluekid. Next Skream fires up some surprisingly thin-sounding general midi-ish horns for'Sinisterize' before ushering in the excellent Kode 9 remix of Badawi, which sees a marked lift in the mix's production values. It all starts to roughen up after this point though, with Benga and Coki both weighing in with some heavy sub-bass chops, leading up to Rusko & Caspa's ever so slightly daft 'Bread Get Bun', which features some dreadful street urchin character chirping on about having "f*&king battered" someone. The mix's second half is dominated by Skream's own work, which takes some interesting turns on bloopy electronica tracks like '2D' and the almost acid-like structures of 'Oit Kum Ere Sun'. Courting controversy, somewhere between Distance's 'Night Vision' and Coki's 'Road Rage' Klaxons version of Grace's 'It's Not Over Yet' gets thrown into the mix, with all the regulation dubstep bass modulations and beat templates slapped on top. The disc draws to a close on a run of more tranquil, for-the-ladies style selections culminating in the warm percussion workouts of D1's 'Sorrow', leaving you with a sense of an awful lot of distance having been travelled since you first hit play... in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

LUBELSKI, Samara - Parallel Suns

LUBELSKI, Samara - Parallel Suns (Social Registry US) Comentários: Lubelski has taken the experimentation of her previous work and used it as foundations for something far more accessible, while never losing sight of the fact that she's writing music that's deeper than your average pop record. Just check the album's most propulsive track, the immense 'Tasting the Candy', a double-time psych-pop stomper and a track that perfectly marries her keen production knowledge (Lubelski engineers at the renowned Rare Book Room studio) and catchy songwriting. With soft Hammond organ and crisply processed guitars she manages to make a shimmering psychedelic world sound much more open, and in such distances herself from the rather sloppy 'New Weird America' scene from which she was birthed. This is the album 'Spectactular of Passages' just slightly missed out on being, living up to all her early promise and hopefully hinting at further development, and for fans of any of the aforementioned acts I'd say she's an artist you simply need to check out without delay. The world might be awash with fuzzy psychedelic records, but when Samara Lubelski's at the helm you know you're in for a very special journey indeed... huge recommendation. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

BRITISH EXPEDITIONARY FORCE, The - Chapter One: A Long Way From Home

BRITISH EXPEDITIONARY FORCE, The - Chapter One: A Long Way From Home (Erased Tapes) Comentários: The British Expeditionary Force bring to mind the sweet Scandinavian sounds of Efterklang or Mum. This is pop music, reframed and re-imagined as electronica, and taking influence from the muddy mire of indie music on the way, so it's not hard to work out that the two members of the band are old hands at production. In the red corner we have Justin Lockey, founder member of Mycodenameis:Milo and producer of such beastly projects as Enter Shikari among other things, and in the blue corner vocalist Aid Burrows, better known as the frontman of Fierce Panda band My Architects. The music featured on 'Chapter One : A Long Way From Home' is the most unusual to ever come from this camp. It's indie music for people who want a little more for their money, pop music for people getting bored with pop or electronica for those of you who don't mind some vocals slapped about over the glitches and pads, and somehow it works. While the record isn't totally successful it leaves you with a warm glow, perfect for this time of year I'd say... in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

HEY WILLPOWER - Hundredaire

HEY WILLPOWER - Hundredaire (Tomlab Germany) Comentários: The title Hundredaire is a play on words of Kelis and Andre 3000's "Millionaire" and an homage with a life of its own. No money, same problems. Will Schwartz from Hey Willpower sings it like he means it; a postmodern take on a love gone awry. Inspired by real life events, and masterpieces like "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and "Walk On By", it's a story everyone can understand. Whether it's the beat of the snare that happened to be there, the Yamaha "Bar Mitzvah Keyboard" on which Will plays the lead riff, or the vocal choir that catapults the simple phrase in the chorus "Let You Go" straight into your heart, there's something for anyone who has felt the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. in sound [Para Ouvir/Samples]

BILEEBOB - Sunshine EP

BILEEBOB - Sunshine EP (Underground Resistance US) Comentários: Detroit's John Williams makes his debut 12" for Underground Resistance with backup from DJ Skurge and Agoria. The radio edit of the original is a greasy hip hop production with retuned, harmonised vocals and an air of summery soulfulness that's hardly seasonal. DJ Skurge takes that theme and runs with it, expanding the track and sharpening the edges, whilst Agoria keeps it techno with his layered vocal-preserving remix. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

ROCEL, Marbert - Speed Emotions

ROCEL, Marbert - Speed Emotions (Compost Germany) Comentários: Marbert Rocel is an extremely smooth German electronic pop trio with female vocals featuring Antje Seifarth. Mellow post-glitch beats, soft electronic pianos, and sultry singing combine to make Speed Emotions, their newest Compost release, a very pleasing listen. True, there may be a glut of this kind of music out there, some of it of questionable quality, but Marbert Rocel really stand out from the pack with unexpected parts that really shine – like the particularly pretty bouncy synth part on "The Pack", or a very cool funky take on Eleanor Rigby, here called "Eleanor BIrdbat" . This is functional music - deeply relaxing, deeply sexy, good for working to, good for a late-night lounge atmosphere. Really nice stuff. in lefthip [Para Ouvir/Samples]

BACCHETTI, Luca - Like A Sadhu EP

BACCHETTI, Luca - Like A Sadhu EP (Wagon Repair) Comentários: Wagon Repair / 'Like a Sadhu' is a driving tech-house track, motored by a pulsating bass loop, buzzing rhythmic tones and restless percussive transformations. A2 - 'Trust' is saturated with new dimensions, mixing a deep bass drive and clattering percussion. in deecoo [Para Ouvir/Samples]

SUI GENERIS - Remarkable (Rushhour Holland) Comentários: Rush Hour introduces another new name: Sui Generis. This mysterious figure serves up two tracks, as if he has been at it for years. A must have for fans of Aril Brikha, Quince and Vince Watson.Both ‘Remarkable’ and ‘Speaking Terms’ remind us of the warm, soulful Detroit sound. in rushhour [Para Ouvir/Samples1] [2]

ROUND TABLE KNIGHTS - Be My Love

ROUND TABLE KNIGHTS - Be My Love (Round Table Knights Switzerland) Comentários: The Round Table Knights are a DJ / Producer duo consisting of DJ Questionmark and DJ Atomik. If you had to chose one single word to characterise them it could only be diversity. The RTK play all kinds of Electronic / Accoustic / Futuristic /Exciting / Romantic / Intense music. Their musical horizon kept them behind the decks in clubs and at festivals all over Europe. "It's all about the mix" they say. Since 2002 the Knights are throwing parties all over Switzerland and inviting guests from different musical genres. They already played with TTC, Beastie Boys, Gilles Peterson, TY, Spank Rock, Coco Rosie, Justice as well as Modeselektor, Tiga, Simian Mobile Disco, Soulwax, The Rapture, Tortoise, to mention just a few. In 2004 their first Mix-CD with the slightly ironic title "Only for the Money and the Fame" was released. Immediately the RTK were booked for the Miles Davis Hall at the Montreux Jazz Festival. In 2005 their second Mix-CD called "It's Funny How Money Changes The Situation" was released. In addition to that, a 7" made it's way from Switzerland to record stores in London, Berlin and Vienna. Since mid 2004 the Visual Jockeys from Walldisplay complete the music with their visuals. Their live-sets, coordinated to the music, add another thrilling dimension to the RTK-club-nights. In December 2006 RTK finally released their first Remix-12" including this year's Baltimore Club-Hit "Baltimore Clock Rock", supported by Discobelle, Fluokids, AnnieMac (BBC Radio 1) and many more.

ANANDA, Gabriel & DOMINIK EULBERG - Kirschplunder & Jasmin Tee Bei Gabriel

ANANDA, Gabriel & DOMINIK EULBERG - Kirschplunder & Jasmin Tee Bei Gabriel (Traum Germany) Comentários: This is the second collaboration between these two artists on Traum. Their Harzer Roller 12" was the result of a trip to the Germanys mountain range, the Harz. The story behind this release is based on Dominik Eulberg´s visits to his friend Gabriel Ananda. The weekly visits have become somewhat of a ritual meeting at Gabriel´s factory for some cherry flavoured Danish pastry & jasmine tea. The a-side track "NGC 101" refers with it´s title to one of the several hobbies of both of them: visiting planetariums and observing stars. "NGC 101" is a 10 minute freaked out but at the same time super cool and controlled funky piece of techno. In the centre stands a bassline that is continually twisted and the motor of the track. The track is altogether a real bass monster, which relies totally on a reduced, stripped down beat, that can run forever. Cool breaks collect the energy, to directly spit it out again. This track will be a perfect soundtrack for the ´sunglasses´ at night. "Supernova" on the flipside is for us a perfect ´sunset´ track. Working in a similar fashion as the a-side, this track sneaks in a lovely chord that makes it´s way through layers of bass and knob twisted extravaganza, that will warm up the heart of every clubber. The cheeky breaks with noises piling up to the sky and then being pulled away... it is one of Dominik Eulberg´s tracks he uses in his DJ sets when he builds up noise cascades with two records, a CD player and a mini sampler. Welcome to the party! The story will be continued with Gabriel Ananda meeting in Dominik Eulberg´s studio in the Westerwald forest. in soundrevolt [Para Ouvir/Samples 1] [2]

MARCEL DETTMANN & BEN KLOCK - Scenario

MARCEL DETTMANN & BEN KLOCK - Scenario (Ostgut Ton Germany) Comentários: Notable Ostgut contributors Ben Klock and Marcel Dettman return to the label for this killer doublepack, featuring four brand new tracks and one reworking of 'Dawning'. Some of this material is of the utmost austerity, tapping into the same vein of primal, purist techno that informed the Sahko catalogue and the stern asceticism of Richie Hawtin's Plastikman output. 'Blank Scenario' is every bit as clinical and magnificently vacuous as its title suggests, assuming the form of a skeletal sound kit - this is the real engine room of contemporary techno, with just a few minor modulations causing subtle variation. 'Renumber' introduces elements that go beyond the array of drum sounds, stirring up a few urgent stabs. 'Scenario' is the main dish here, melding the two prior compositions, bringing together the hardline absoluteness of 'Blank Scenario' and the faint whiff of musicality suggested by 'Renumber'. 'Places Like This' persists on a similar theme, leading up to the comparative flamboyance of 'Dawning (Revisited)'. Killer! in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

SWEAT X - Ebonyivorytron

SWEAT X - Ebonyivorytron (Citinite) Comentários: A South African rap-electro fashion-rap double act (yeah I'm not sure either) Sweat X seem to almost be guaranteed some form of greatness from the off. With an eye towards the humorous and another towards the black/white post apartheid symbolism of the act the two have come up with a retro/futuristic dance formula that confounds any expectation. I suppose links could be drawn to Diplo and Anti Pop Consortium but these guys are out on their own, rapping and throwing down insane electroid production as if it's totally natural. Apparently the duo formed thanks to a shared love of Prince, and in light of this it sort of makes sense. If you're desperate for the new A-Trak, Spank Rock or DJ Assault, you really need to take a closer look at Sweat X. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Sample]
