“Rare and Cheese bring us back to the golden years of hip-hop. Jazzpolice comes with beautiful frisky jazzy cuts, lo-fi beats, scratches and wise funky stories right from the street. If you dig the early 90s sound of A Tribe Called Quest, Lord Finesse, Main Source and Compton’s Most Wanted, this album is for you!”

Lemurat is lost in three different mixes. Fortunally, he’s lost in smooth and abstract dubby sounds. Using nice guitar fragments and vocals he seems to be lost in zero gravity.

“The S.K. brings us – on the first part – a deep & atmospheric minimal dubstep & a more dark tech stuff on the second part. All with a very well executed sound. Check also the Syndrôm remix, a nice glitched filthy tune.”

“Correspond is the first collaboration between U.S based musicians Devin Underwood and Marcus Fischer. Together they have created five beautiful pieces of delicate, free floating ambience. Followers of each artist individually will find that their styles seem to effortlessly combine as they experiment with their shared love for minimalism, field recordings, acoustic and electric instruments and natural reverb.
The tracks on Correspond are presented in the order in which they were completed, allowing the listener to trace the trajectory which the artists followed during the creative process. This release is a free download as always, but the artists also have a limited number of CD’s available. Email m AT NOSPAM mapmap.ch for info.”

“Russian duo The Rare Plants Garden is beatmaker 813 and Nienvox, two fellows that made a good list of solo and cooperative appearances via Bump Foot, Dusted Wax Kingdom, 813’s own Pop Errors Gallery, and just recently Error Broadcast and Project Mooncircle. From this genealogy one might expect THE RARE PLANTS GARDEN to sound just like the other Russian duo here at 12rec., 2010’s high-flyer Monokle & Galun. However 813 and Nienvox concentrate on psychedelic left-field Pop music, banning the razor-sharp future funk of 813 completely from The Rare Plants Gardens selftitled debut EP, making the six tracks suspicious being brainchild to Damon Albarn rather than Flying Lotus.”

“K doesn’t stand for the usual clicks’n’cuts-sound that’s so popular nowadays. His interpretation of the term ‘Netmusic’ stands for trying out new ideas and leave old paths behind in favour of new spaces for interpretation.
This flexibility is one of the reasons why K.Fog, despite his releases on vinyl, keeps publishing on netlabels. His K-Series sees him reworking the old basic channel-sound and infusing it with new ideas – a distinct difference to what he has released so far. And surely a release that will provoke mixed responses since the fact that the tracks aren’t as precise and clear as usual leaves room for all kinds of interpretations.”
