Dub Techno 307 Artikel

Brendon Moeller has essentially spent almost everyday of his life since 1994 in a home recording studio. Through research and practice he has evolved into a prolific producer with 10 full length albums under his belt and dozens of singles and remixes. He has performed live and DJ'ed at Fabric, Berghain and Cielo and then some. His love of a hybrid of hardware and digital resources for production shines through. His music has been championed by the likes of Francois K, Speedy J, Danny Howells, amongst others. An eclectic sensibility stemming from a love of many genres of music is always evident in Brendon's work. - - - SSX represents the Silent Season 10 Year Anniversary Compilation, a series of 12"s celebrating a decade of deeper electronic music. The series features artists whose music continues to inspire the Silent Season journey.

A crisp-biscuit Bristol label, opening its account with a deadly brace of stripped-back dub techno. First off, Peverelist and Andy Mac together, following up their Trilogy Tapes debut with an organic, late-night roller; and then a killer AM on the flip, mesmeric and bumping.

French artist based in Paris, BLNDR is an emerging figure of the contemporary deep techno scene. When it comes to his productions, He has his own characteristic deep sound : deep rhythms and atmospheric elements have always played a major role in his music. The mood is often sinister, the pace set viscously slow. But whether it's deep and dubby, driving or gurgling with acid abstractions, the music's strong magnetism never ceases to impress. - - - SSX represents the Silent Season 10 Year Anniversary Compilation, a series of 12"s celebrating a decade of deeper electronic music. The series features artists whose music continues to inspire the Silent Season journey.

It's no secret that Idle Hands is a label built on a foundation of dub. From the earliest releases by Pev, Kowton and Szare through to more recent output from O$VMV$M and Christian Jay, the influence of Bristol's soundsystem heritage looms large in the myriad electronic music threads the label encompasses. Sometimes this influence is explicit, other times implied, but the principles of sub heavy, spacious music for both body and mind guide the stylistic arc of the label as a direct result of the label's long time immersion in roots and dub culture.Andy Mac is an artist who echoes this spirit more acutely than most. His innate understanding of dub comes from a life spent collecting and playing the music, both as part of the Falling Up collective and as a DJ on his own terms. This influence has been felt in his previous productions, not least on theRegular & Irregulardoublepack he released on Idle Hands back in 2013.Now Andy makes a welcome return to Idle to kick off a new series under the banner ofDiving Bird. So named after the avian population off the coast of his native Cornwall, these new productions are the result of a fertile creative period since taking some time out from the low end thrum of Bristol life. With sound sources including field recordings from multiple trips to West Africa, the series is the most pronounced distillation of his pure-hearted passion for dub, making a natural progression from the more mechanical angles of his previous work to fall into an pulse that refigures the pioneering work of Tubby, Perry et al in a modern context.The meditative lilt of "Longships" sports whispers of Basic Channel in its strafing chord stabs, but there's a more organic, roots-minded finish to the percussion that stands distinct from contemporary dub techno. "HorseFlyDub" places steppers energy alongside haunting atmospherics, coming on both sprightly and introspective in the same beat. "10" pushes out into more experimental realms, weaving fragments of weather systems and folk musicians into a dreamlike beatless reverie that aligns with the recent forays into ambient music that Idle Hands has undertaken.Striking a balance between distinct personality and deeply rooted authenticity, the first volume ofDiving Bird marks another bold step forward for Andy Mac, an artist who shifts his stance with each release and makes it sound completely natural.

A re-work by Mark Ernestus of the opener of Honest Jons' new LP by the Obadikah brass band, from Lagos. Consummate Berlin dub science by the maestro. Beautifully textured, shuffling Lagos funk, on home-made percussion… militant, parping horns... and a walloping, filthy-stinking kick-drum like the bucking, hairy hind-most of the Devil himself.

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.

The reclusive artist has seen a lot of justified and overdue praise surrounding the reissue of his sole early release, the Ship Scope 12” which was originally issued by Berlin’s Chain Reaction label in 2001 and reissued by DDS last year, following on from the unexpected dispatch of his distinguished and brilliant Sprinkles-esque Butterfly Effect album.His new World LP will expand your preconceptions, coursing a beautifully louche vibe from the most minimal loops and motifs - the kind that one could play all day without ever tiring of hearing them.The supple, floating DX7 bass contours and vaporous jazz chords of Intro start up like some Chicago or NYC deep house classic lost in its own reverie, and could happily go nowhere for as long as it wants, before the rainy day piano house melancholy of World 1 promptly inverts that supple aesthetic with a fizzing, hazy sort of depth perception and World 2 switches up again to a sort of trim du momentum in stepping, swinging equilibrium, riding the groove like no other.Turn over and the lingering, slowed downstroke of World 3 sounds like it got waylaid from a 0PN session with Wolfgang Voigt, whilst World 4 jettisons the bass altogether to thizz and skip away in the highest registers with an intoxicatingly heady vein which makes the uniquely brittle but spacious breakbeat trip of World 5 so narcotically seductive.We hardly need to spell it out for you;- this is highly idiosyncratic, exceptional material, with warmest recommendations to anyone with a or taste for house and ambient electronica’s refined, soulful and experimental echelons.

Sublime debut LP of weightless ambient electronics and Dub Techno from the newly minted sferic label, includes remixes by Perfume Advert & Space Afrika. RIYL Lee Gamble, Lanark Artefax, Jan Jelinek, Shinichi Atobe...The sferic label bubbles up from Manchester city centre with Echium’s debut suite of charming ambient gestures, neatly expanded by empathetic, weightless house remixes from local cuties; Perfume Advert and Space Afrika. Their mutual first move, Synthetic Space positions both Echium and sferic within a well rooted tradition of Berlin kosmische, dub and Detroit techno-informed electronics emanating from the rainy city, convecting a wistful spirit that resonates with Martin Hannett’s work for The Durutti Column as much as J.S. Zeiter’s mutable dub techno and the humbly mannered moves of the CCO and meandyou labels.Under its plasmic aura of stray electro-dub artefacts, aqueous rhythms and dusky chords, Synthetic Space effectively smudges distinctions between pre- and post- club sensations or states of mind, operating with a deftness of touch and conversational turn of phrase that connotes feelings caught between excitable, pill-belly anticipation and mercurial rambles that ribbon off into the morning light with a beautifully elusive, tip-of-the-tongue quality.Its eight original tracks oscillate effervescent tones and grained electronics with a carefully realised, cybernetic nuance, locating a lush balance of haptic nudge and detached process that really gets under the skin in altered states. It’s active in the opening cut, Blended Textures’ swirl of arid chords and frothing acid, and smudged deeply into the glowing pores of Juum and the noumenal bleep space of Looum, and aching with a lovebot sentience in the Shinichi Atobe-esque title track, all on the A-side, whereas the the B-side subtly edges up the bass to tactile, insistent degrees with the air-stepping Ethereal and Activation beauties giving way to the arabesque vignette, Jazz Interlude. Special mention for the remixes, with Salford's Perfume Advert playing to their Anxiety Support Group tendencies with nervously deferred but soothing results, and the ascendent Space Afrika duo hustling a rolling, heads-down Tribalist Dub version that leaves the disc simmering for another spin ahead of their debut LP, as promised for sferic in the near future.

Another Picture has the honour to welcome DJ Honesty to the label’s crew! The Berlin mainstay keeps on delivering for two decades and counting. Now residing in sunny and meanwhile ultra-lively spot Lissabon/Portugal he shows up with two pieces of pure electronic groove with a dubby technoid flavour. Studio knowledge at work! Usually known for positive vibes with a still abstract feel now DJ Honesty reveals a darker shade of experience. Get involved with a tougher edge and face some deeper emotion and sonic consequence - see you on today’s dancefloors.. DJ Honesty’s releases come as various projects and collaborations: Honesty, Honeydrop, Slope (with Daniel Paul) and Suparaw (with Woody) on such labels as Cabinet, Sonar Kollektiv and Quality Vibe to name a few.

After 10 years it is the first time available as limited clear marbled 180g vinyl. Release info: Creating something selfexistent might be the most difficult part of doing arts - something that isn’t just a rigid thing but an entity of itself. Our goal is to bear something upon our technical possibilities without involving any other entity’s energy. Our selfexistent entity should be made up of dead matter and brought to life by technical components which interact with their surrounding and make decisions based on observations which are being analyzed and torn through programs to calculate potential procedures. It should not be limited to its current level of experience. To remain state-of-the-art, apprehension and intelligence are indispensable capabilities our entity should be able to make use of. The needed technology is basically built on coincidental scientific observations which have been analyzed, processed and at best industrialized. This only works on repetitive or - even better - repeatable processes, because otherwise an industrialization would make no sense. As a result nature is being squeezed into our own pattern of predictability. But there is a fundamental problem: intelligence cannot be satisfied with predictability. Entities bound to programs are always waiting for known and already categorized input. They cannot handle yet unknown impressions or re-categorize them. Intelligence is beyond predictability - it deals with the unknown and tries to integrate it into the l

A future classic of the Detroit master on the Berlin based Sushitech Records! Essential must have release! Vinyl Only!

Europe united, Pablo Mateo from Berlin and SCSI-9 from Moscow join Idealist on the Swiss label

Certainly considered one of the hottest electro producers out there right now, Reedale Rise throws down another essential slab of wax. Flux Function comprises of Detroit inspired jams, space age electro, and lush rolling dub soaked techno. Tip!

Remixes by Vril, Anno Stamm + Margaret DygasA1 - Luc Marianni - Six Synthetic Suites (Anno Stamm remix)Berlin producer Anstam’s remix of Six Synthetic Suites is quite a trip. The producer has crafted a dubbed-out version, almost sub aquatic in its sound design, structured around a murky but driving techno beat on which he layers Marianni’s sounds. Exotic instruments, unusual timbres, daring melodies and even slapped bass: the contrast between these sounds and Stamm’s grayscale groove is powerful.A2 Vril - Synthetic SuiteGiegling artist Vril uses samples from Marianni’s Six Synthetic Suites released in 1986 to produce this lovely slab of dub techno. Carefully crafted, this track is all about soft edges, with a kind of blurry and hazy vibe that permeates it. A sense of motion is conveyed by the sparse but efficient rhythmic section, with chords and melodic elements giving the impression of floating. With much more contrast and complexity than it might seem at first listen, this is beyond your usual dub techno cut.B1 Luc Marianni - Six Synthetic Suites (Margaret Dygas remix)Also based in Berlin, Margaret Dygas’ own remix of Six Synthetic Suites is a deconstructed affair, built around a half step groove, ready to be used creatively in DJ sets. Somewhere between an ambient excursion and a more rhythmic jam, the producer uses a sparse palette of hallucinogenic, dizzying sounds with a dash of eerie darkness that gives this version a melancholic, unsettling nature.

Monomood returns to his dubby roots with his fantastic laid back and atmospheric EP Unexpected Perceptions on Etui Records. Remembering the frost and darkness, the first track Wjnter can’t hide it’s origin. Cold chords and warm synths are creating the unique feeling of gloomy days in winter.With Spuukj Dub on the flip you get a reduced echo-tool with haunting vocals and complex delay structures. Finally Monomood layers some pads and reverbs in the last track Dronje before breaking up the tune with a stunning piano & string combination. Goosebumps.The release comes on white / black marbled vinyl with black inside out cover.

Huge classic groover! Killer reissue of underground UK Techno tunes, top quality.

Delsin's re-issue arm is back with a timely release of classic Norken material. Featuring on the EP is the cult 'Southern Soul' - originally released on REEL Discs in 1998 - plus 'More Frequencies' and 'Shifting Towards', two tracks from his 1999 album 'Soul Static Bureau'.

This September will see Visionquest release ‘Selector’ from Luke Hess, coming accompanied with remixes from Delsin artist d5, label co-founder Lee Curtiss and Maher Daniel.Detroit artist Luke Hess has been one of the most celebrated acts coming out of the motor city over the past decade with an impressive back catalogue boasting material on Omar S’ FXHE, Carl Craig’s Planet E, Echochord and Kontra-Musik to name but a few. Here though we see Hess join the roster of Visionquest following recent output from Wareika, Vlad Caia, Tuccillo and Mirko Loko.Title cut ‘Selector’ takes the lead and Luke Hess delivers his signature energy fuelled dub-led style with spiralling stab sequences, electronic jazz-tinged synth licks and a robust rhythmic drive. Delsin’s d5 steps up next on remix duties, delivering a similarly dubbed-out aesthetic while introducing glitchy arp’s, smoothly evolving string lines and a more refined drum style.Opening the latter half of the package is Visionquest’s very own Lee Curtiss taking on ‘Selector’ with a contrasting approach, dropping the tempo to create a slow burning feel with bumpy percussion, chugging bass tones and sporadic sweeps. Maher Daniels closes with the final remix, delivering a less-is-more interpretation focusing on intricately evolving atmospheric in the depths of the record while a sturdy rhythmic foundation carries the groove.

Tor Goffer is a young and promising producer from Tel Aviv, dropping his debut EP in the 2nd release by No Waves. Included are two big-room Dub Techno tracks, a driving Deep House tool, and a raw remix by TV.OUT.

For the second effort on his very own Oblique imprint, Ben Buitendijk returns to the sound he's only showcased through his well received Promised Land (Mosaic) and a recent remix through Subwax. This more dubby approach is the general thread in the sophomore Oblique release called ''Past and Present EP''. Generally, this release is threading into deeper territories than it's predecessor but is therefor revealing different sides of the label owner's taste that are maybe being underexposed thus far. ''Roots'' acts as a sublime opening track. Dramatic fx works are bundled together over a well built drum pattern that collides extremely well with the almost lava-esque bubbly sound of the delay laden synths that float throughout. ''Side Stepping'' is somewhat of a change in atmosphere. While maintaining the spacious yet dubby approach of the the opening track, ''Side Stepping'' has a lighter feel to it while the drums are thoroughly programmed underneath and the FX chains seem even more present than before. On the B side we find ''Apollo'' again a dubby stepper which evolves subtly into a more mean crawler that cleverly blends dramatic chords together with fragments of delayed stabs and panned artefacts. ''Near Mint'' serves as the ''Past And Present EP''s finale. A spacious cut that respects the overall feel of the EP whilst gently threading into a more otherwordly atmosphere which moves in perfect harmony with the buldging bass hit that sits underneath.

Hot on the heels of killer releases by label heads Ryan Crosson and Shaun Reeves, the latest Visionquest release sees the label turn its head to Deadbeat aka Scott Monteith. The Berlin based Montrealeler has been putting his own spin on house and techno for some time now, putting his stamp on esteemed labels such as Cynosure, Echocord and Wagon Repair. The Jacks EP continues his fine tradition of putting out discerning fare, as he conjures up a new EP package that remixes his classic track, Mecca Drum Track (originally released on Wagon Repair), from 2008. Striking in its many intricate and delicate production wares, it’s a polished effort from the outset.

The Furnace Series is a two-part compilation of music inspired by a special room in the Montréal apartment shared by Booma Collective from 2012-2014. When venues to throw parties became scarce, Booma used this room leading to the fire escape in the back of the apartment – known as The Furnace – as a space for small gatherings among close friends. The Furnace Series is a collection of memories of those intimate parties and impromptu jam sessions. Part one features four tracks by Booma Collective founders and friends, beginning with “Psyche” – a hypnotic, dub-techno inspired composition with oscillating, piercing sounds, evoking whistling flurries. Solpara’s “Garden in the Furnace” echoes the hollowed-out concrete architecture of The Furnace itself, filling up then emptying its atmosphere with layered drum machines and ghostly voices. “CF01″ is the result of feedback experimentation carefully arranged into a slow tribal jam.. Oren Ratowsky. producer of Booma Collective’s first vinyl release, rounds off the B side with “Gorby”, an eleven and a half minute exploration of his mastery of analog synthesizers.

Since the climate has slightly changed during the last years, its hard to talk about real winter in the northern hemisphere. However the world feels a bit colder these days. To keep your hearts warm, Etui Records has opened the winter camp again. Artists from Australia, Italy and Germany are delivering a musical fireplace of dub and deep techno. Can dub techno sounds happy? Of course! Melbournes Silver Ash opens the vinyl edition of this years Etui Winter Camp and spreads some dubby chord funk across the dancefloors with his Meranti. Dresden based Dandytracks of Vekton tell part 2 of their Dubstories About Us. On the flip side Etui Records label head Insect O. shows his love for hypnotic driven techno in his Kondor and new italian artist Drafted proves in his Ascending that Detroit Techno and Minimalism have been always a great combination. May the world feels a bit warmer with this. Etui Winter Camp 3 will be out as digital album inc. 11 tracks and special white vinyl edition incl. 4 tracks.

I didn't mind what she called me, what anybody called me. But this was the room I had to live in. It was all I had in the way of a home. In it was everything that was mine, that had any association for me, any past, anything that took the place of a family. Not much: a few books, pictures, radio, old letters, stuff like that. Nothing. Such as they were, they had all my memories and no one could disturb this private peace.

New deepness from Abdulla Rashim!

The vinyl opens with 'Perseverance' a slick slice of bass that writhes and twists around a syncopated core. On A2 'Temptation of Maya' seizes at the act of perception and what is captured is perfect for the mellow confusion of a Sunday morning. On the flip side the search for transcendence goes further with 'Beyond the Veil' which crackles towards a sense of enlightenment. The EP closes with a golden moment of contentment, 'Moksha'.

Limited 1st run on marbled grey vinyl.

With the next and twelfth instalment of Tiefenrausch the dub techno label sets foot on the new continent again. The deep sea journey is joined by San Fransisco based artist Federsen and Brandon Moeller aka Echologist or Beat Pharmacy - who contributed a remix to the three track EP.

Nur eine pro Nase!

Are you ready to be where metaphysical borders with the dark? Check the bag: water, food, flashlight, gloves, something else??? Go along with Mr. Cloudy in the outskirts, where every rustle to take into attention, where the barking of dogs like a beacon in the night. Sparkling from the frost luminous ice, or raw cold, with the smells of leaves and rain out all night. Mr. Cloudy - Outskirts on Skala Records, heavy ambient / drone, dub techno.

There's something exciting and mysterious about exploring deeper dive sites. Sometimes it's a wreck that attracts you below, sometimes coral, fans, or sponges. Be aware: these are often challenging excursions, recommended mainly for experienced divers.

The seventh instalment in the Rhythm Nation series is by the UK producer Isaac Reuben. These jams are rough, raw and ready. They bear the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed signature of someone untarnished by exposure yet betray a complete vision and total control of the craft.

Pavel ludin returns to Poker Flat Wax with a gripping four-tracker showcasing his myriad of talents. Born and raised in Eastern Siberia, Pavel Iudin found his way to the underground scenes of Moscow and Saint Petersburg where he firmly established his credentials. The Probe EP finds him at the height of his powers, serving up some serious burners. ‘Probe 2′ is a throbbing, deep roller with shimmering synths and a shuffling, evolving groove - one for keeping the floor on lock whatever the situation. ‘Halo’ has more classic feel to it, clearly a nod to the Chicago masters of the 90s, but maintaining a tough and fresh feel that is all ludin’s own. Half way though, things really open up into thick, swingy vibe via a killer bassline and snappy percussion. ‘Probe 3′ is more acidic outing - although never resorting to the iconic 303, the track is a lysergic journey into dubbed out tech-house. Closing out the EP is ‘Groundlevel’ - a driving, loopy groover that uses ludin’s feel for atmosphere and tension to the max. The whole EP exudes a steely-eyed mastery of the studio and the dance floor - making Pavel Iudin one to watch over the next months.

Khotin debuts the new alias “Waterpark” on this aquatic self-released 12”. A club tested breakbeat dripper, with super pretty melodies twisting throughout on the A side and a mellow early morning dub tune for the B side. Recorded at Deep Blue in Vancouver, BC.

Huge classic groover! Killer reissue of underground UK Techno tunes, top quality.

Excellent deep, dark and dubby tracks.

A collaborative project; the first of a ten part series, Immanence marries dub techno connoisseur Zzzzra with UK photographer Katelyn Playford in their own artistic realisations of philosophical theories of divine presence. Tasked with sound tracking Immanence into four dub techno masterpieces; Zzzzra’s own sensual and romantic interpretation of immanence transcends through the eyes of Katelyn’s striking photography, manifesting into a visual immanent of the female aura. With previous releases on labels such as Ferro Tape and his own imprint Perso records, Zzzzra steps up with premeditated delays, precise hiss sways and deeper chord stabs that make for a remarkable body of work.

Following the first chapter of Andy Mac'sDiving Birdseries, Idle Hands welcomes Italian producer Piezo into the fold with an EP that harks back to the smoky, dubwise ambience of some of the label's earliest releases.Luca Mucci was a Bristol resident for a few years before returning to his native Milan, carving out an identity for his Piezo alias with a slew of dubstep-focused EPs on labels such as Artikal Music and Subaltern.While on an Idle Hands skirmish stateside and playing on NY radio, one of The Kelly Twins dropped "Lume" and remarked on how 'Idle' it sounded, sparking the process that led to this record.You can sense a link the early Kowton records on EP opener "Opeq", all monochromatic textures and taut, slow-stalking rhythms, but here those facets are interspersed with a unique melodic elegance that offsets the moody immersion of the track, eventually blooming out into an effervescent slice of slow-motion house music."Novemiluano" meanwhile displays Mucci's capabilities in handling broken beats, exercising a devastating restraint without compromising on presence or energy in crafting a stunning piece of meditative soundsystem music.Pushing that foundational dub principle of space and minimalism even further, "Lume" closes the record out in stunning style with an intimate, glacial stepper that champions minute detail as much as looming gaps in the sound. With a peppering of micro-sampling atop a deathly bassweight march, it's a finely pointed arrow aimed right at the heart of Idle Hands, and we couldn't be happier to be releasing it.

Helmed by Back To Basics resident James Barnsley, it's safe to say Vessel Records know exactly what they're doing with their initial five releases including names such as Daze Maxim, Burnski, DJ Honesty, Laura Jones and Diego Krause. The label's excellent discography continues in their sixth release with Dan Curtin under his Purveyors of Fine Funk moniker - highly regarded for early releases on Peacefrog, Nepenta, and more recently Bass Culture. Politics of Dancing, known separately as S.M.A.L.L & PACO, are the Parisian duo behind their fastrising eponymous label, whereas British talent Rhymos has quickly garnered a reputation for his compelling productions on the likes of Overall Music, Whistleblower Records and murmur. Joined by Barnsley himself, this four-track release demonstrates each artist in fine form.

4 track dub techno compilation from Federsen, Beat Pharmacy, Tomas Rubeck and Alessandro Crimi.

Sent back in time to drop music in the future. This limited release is Hand-Stamped with Ultraviolet Ink.

No-one else makes music like this: devilishly complex but warm and intuitive, stirring together a dizzying assembly of outernational and outerspace influences, whilst retaining the subby funk-and-hot-breath pressure of Shackleton’s soundboy, club roots. The result is an evolutionary, truly alchemical music — great shifting tides of dub, minimalist composition and choral song (“Five Demiurgic Options”); ritual spells to ward off the darkness (“Before The Dam Broke”, “The Prophet Sequence”); radiophonia and zoned-out guitar improv (“Seven Virgins”); even the febrile, freeform psychedelia of eighties noise rock (“Sferic Ghost Transmits” / “Fear The Crown”).Over the five years since “Music For The Quiet Hour”, Vengeance’s vocal and lyrical range has rolled out across this new terrain. Throughout these six transmissions he’s hoarse preacher, sage scholar and ravaged bluesman; blind man marching off to war, and exhausted time-traveller warning of impending socio-ecological catastrophe. Six dialogic accounts of our conflicted times, then, expanding beyond the treacly unease of the duo’s early collaborative work into something subtler and more emotionally shattering — its shades of brightness more dazzling, and its darkness even murkier.

It is extremely difficult to detect an 'Extrasolar Moon' and this analog dub techno cut has been proved to be as close to the free-floating planet as possible. Its bassline-driven raw jacking acid techno is perfectly aligned with grad_u's signature heavily echoed dub, and the only thing that protects one from escaping the orbit is flipping to side B. There one'll find yet another 10+ minutes of goosebumps, this time erected by 'Geomagnetic Storm', a pure and emotionally vigorous dubbed out bomb. The 12" from Redscale is an ultimate equity between the outer space of a dancefloor and the inner self of the mind. Last but by no means least is the fact it has been mastered at the legendary Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin.

This is white vinyl with green splatter. This is the sound of Detroit meets Copenhagen, the collaboration between Luke Hess of Deep Labs fame & Resoe the label owner.This release has been on the way for more than two years, but finally it´s here. You know the deal!

ESHU Records hits release number ten with a new EP from the in-house production collective made up of Jocelyn Abell, Ivano Tetelepta and Daniel Lekatompessy. Fraktur features six tracks of stripped back house and techno that are all atmospheric and heady. Opener Winter Track is a smooth and rolling dub techno number that is grainy and economical yet hugely absorbing thanks to its circling synth details and woody drums. Creating Moods is even more expansive and spacious, with gently swirling pads enveloping a soft, broken rubber kick drum. The title track is another expertly distilled, dry and heady groove with its frayed edges and warm analogue feel, then 'Hello' really flips the script with over driven Jeff Mills kicks and intergalactic synths bring a spooky sci-fi feel to proceedings. Yorubaland is then a cosmic ambient interlude with fax tones bleeping and blipping as lazy pads smear out in the background and last of all Core comes on strong with more quick and slick intergalactic techno carrying you off to some distant planet. This is another faultless EP from this fine Dutch collective. Pressed on 180 grams vinyl.

The seventh Idealistmusic instalment and debut album by the Swiss artist

Persian Ahu Karimi is a Berlin resident. He began his musical exploits in a punk band in Tehran but time and space and inertia have distilled his music into a rare spiritual essence, with a delicacy and evanescence like memory. The five tracks here have a gauze like quality. The music is like ether. The opening track Shoone Beh Sar transfixes. It is totally captivating. This is ambient music of the highest quality. Next up is Longing. It is the logical next step after Shoone Beh Sar. It has a shuffling groove so does not initially appear to be an ambient track. But the ambience is in the detail, which slowly unfolds over 9 minutes. Roya begins beat-less, and very languid. A glitchy beat begins early, but the initial languidity is never dispelled; only intensified. Nebel In Sancsouri is next. Even though it has a distinctly jacking groove, the delicate intensity that has already been established through the ep defines the track. At this point, a vibe of seduction by sunlight is complete; then broken by an arresting darkness. Final track Simorgh is crackling electronics and hum. Restless and inexorable. A surprise, a wake up, leaving the listener unsettled after the comfort and narcotic beauty of the preceding tracks. Probably just as well. After listening to the preceding tracks, it seems possible that the listener could remain spellbound.

After the well-received “Lopun Ajat” in 2013, Vesa-Matti Kivioja returns to Ljudverket with a 4-track EP titled “Universo”. Developing further his signature style of dubby electronics with ambient flavors, topped with percussions and echoes, Vesa-Matti’s tracks drive to- wards pleasuring both deejays and home listeners. Crafting his output from analogue live jams, the production shows skillful use of synthetic and natural sound sources combined into deep grooving beats to form outer space audio excursions in his studio in Vaasa, Fin- land. The soulful proto-dub of Universo EP once again shows how Ljudverket continues to deliver timeless music. The result is an outstanding four-tracker, crossing Basic Channel grooves with more cosmic, synthy vibes. Soulful, hands-on, swirling, spaciously grooving.

Minimood continues with a deep piece of heady minimal from esteem German producer Sascha Dive with a mesmerizing remix by celebrated Dutch producer Ion Ludwig. The 'After The Storm' EP is releasd on Vinyl Only.'After The Storm' is ten sumptuous minutes of

"Beyond the Clouds" was recorded from a live session near the heart of Detroit using hand crafted modular synthesizers, analog devices and custom made effects units. Remastered by Ron Murphy @ NSC Mastering, Detroit, USA shortly before he passed away, his memory will live in our hearts forever. In this Live version of cv313's classic, the modular recordings were separated, dissected in the mix and dubbed out with a litany of analog effects. During this performance there was a mystical element in the air, strobe lights, vaporous gas and electric dreams. A connection felt with the dancers, a groove beyond a groove, it is that magical essence of Japan. This was a night to remember, recorded live in Tokyo with love. During the closing moments, the ghostly ambiance faded, the smoke cleared and beyond the sequence was born. Remastered by Bazza @ Alchemy Studio, London. UK.

This is a 180g coloured vinyl only release. Hypnotic Dub meets rumanian minimalism. Very rare Side project production of Jay Bliss. Limited pressing with very special cut and engraving.

Bristol based new artist El Choop opens the edition with pulsating chords and synths in his track Unknown Landscape. Italian producer Hydergine takes you on a psychedelic mind trip with his energetic deep techno track Blue State Of Mind.The flip side starts with Etui Records label head Insect O. With his dirty chords and wired echoes he is telling you the mystic story about the Ancient Architects. And finally Monomood returns to the label and proves his musically diversity. A mellow brass and a deep bass will give you goosebumps while dancing on the afterhour or just sitting in a smokey jazz bar.The artwork is done by graphic designer and musician Daniel Madlung aka Dandytracks. It´s based on a photo of the Sea of Sand at Indonesia´s Mt. Bromo volcano, taken by Insect O.

Clear marbled vinyl.

Greyscale gains momentum with its second vinyl chapter. Two bass-heavy cuts by grad_u with amazing remix by Resoe, beautiful white 180gr. vinyl.

Beautiful introspective dub techno tracks from San francisco based Federsen. Each copy comes with silkscreened limited artwork!

Beat Pharmacy, Mikkel Metal, Deepnaut, Pulshar, Federsen. 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.

Atmospheric Vol 2 is the second single to be taken from Deepchord's latest full length but sees him stray from the album tracks, bringing 3 exclusive pieces to the vinyl, keeping in the same musical vein as Ultraviolet Music. Exploring the North & Pinewood Lodge see Rod Modell on more Deep Techno excursions as beautifully sweeping pads and glistening synths drift by ever evolving, perfectly processed atmospheres. Deepchord's unique use of subtle field recordings throughout give both of these tracks a real heady/druggy quality and his seamless loops allow you to drift of into his fully developed dream world. Shot Point delves into straight up ambient territory with Deepchord striking an unearthly balance between the natural and synthetic world. Yet more flawlessly collected field recordings wash away on an ocean of reverb soaked pads, drowning the listener within its mesmerising tides.

This time Tiefenrausch welcomes a new artist in their dub techno family. Förster joins the label with his Aqua Viridis EP and presents a debut with three tracks. As part of his - Grün series, every track stands for a different vibe of the genre. The A-Side comes with a pumping, reduced smasher, that definetely aims on the dancefloor. Side B brings more immersed deepnes. - Grün XV and - Grün XVIII evoke an abyss and enwind the listener with dublime deepness. All covered up by the artwork of Alex Ketzer and the imagery from Jules Vernes - 20.000 leagues under the sea .

Mikkel Metal was the first artist on Echocord, and the main reason why the label was started back then. After many many releases we are very happy and proud that he now returns with a full lenght album.

This release comes on red vinyl only.

REDSCALE 07 - attack / decay. The forgotten treasures. Two heavyweight cuts by grad_u. These gems were recorded on reel to reel tape back in the days, shelved for years.. Accidentally discovered after relocating to new studio premises. The Redscale mission of delivering stellar dubtechno continues. As usual - Vinyl Only!

After seven releases Tiefenrausch present their first album and send Biodub back into the depth. On "Familiar Warmth" he explores the borders of the genre. Warm and subtle developing dub techno tracks build the foundation of this versatile album. The features of reggae vocalist Ray Darwin and Noetics gituarist Chriz the Wiz as well as the filigree use of percussion and field recordings make this production feel naturally alive. For the visual perfection Alex Ketzer covers both vinyls in a sublime imagery from Jules Vernes "20.000 leagues under the sea". Mastered by SALZ music.

2015 Repress - Perfect future Classic. Playable in the past and the present and in the future! Timeless Record.

Sleeper Cell is the new collaboration between Earthen Sea and Lovers Rock label head Ital. Recorded over three days and nights in a dark NY winter, “Quality of Life” reflects a declining America in a winter of its own. Corroded dub atmospheres, haunting melodies, subdued flashes of tenderness and occasional searing noise swim together like murky oil in a puddle of grimy water on the side of the road. Opening with the entrancing “Initiate,” Sleeper Cell welcome the listener into their world, where menacing whispers dance and echo around synth swells and a poignant lead melody. From there, the duo journey through a crumbling and eerily spacious sound world.

The first installment of 12" EP from "EXHIBITIONIST 2" DVD+CD due out in September 2015. All the tracks are created by Jeff Mills specifically and used in the Studio Mix in the DVD.

Jackson Lee & Ben Jenkins return to their roots. Equally influenced by Detroit warehouse parties & metaphysics of Middle-American industrial decay to advance Basic Channel / Deepchord blueprint, morphing dub sound into baroque acid dreamscape.

GiH proudly presents our new label, >alienusHuman consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law.

The first release on Taped Artifact comes from label founder Kevin Arnemann himself. Known for his uncompromising techno sets, this release will showcase his deeper side by delivering three profound excursions.

Great housy tracks on vinyl only 180 gr by QY! Hotttttttt!

Smokin' Dub Techno!

Informa Experiments Volume 2 continues with the same concept as the last, 4 artists submit a bank of sounds and from these sounds each artist composes a track. A simple idea that proves very effective. This time the contributors are Claudio PRC (Prologue), Takaaki Itoh (Wols), Ben Gibson (Chronicle) & Deepbass (Informa) Each version has come out very different but all have a beautifully analogous feel. Deep, pulsing hypnotic techno.

Dubtechno at its best! Grad_U as driving force behind the sixth instalment of Redscale. Vinyl Only! Music speaks for itself.

Official re-edtion by Phil Week & Didier Allyne with Sunkiss aka David Alvarado. Released on Groove on in 1996 & hard to find these days. Apogee/Eclipse are deepest dub techno. Will appeal too all Basic Channel/Deepchord fans.
