Zengineers : North Pole​/​Just Let Me Be [Omnizero20]

“Omni welcomes the Zengineers back to the label. Becoming regular artists in the Omni-verse, this release shows why, with 2 tracks of deep chilled out grooves. Deep hypnotic bass, punchy rhythms and serene synth washes make these tracks suitable for playing extra loud as well as quietly as you chill after a long hard day. Omni Music have been watching the Zengineers for a while now and their spacey grooves fit in to the Omni mould perfectly, so expect much more from these in the future.”

Daniel Barbiero : Complex Silence 37 [treetrunk 275]

“Live improvisations for solo double bass and for prepared double bass were recorded and then manipulated to create slowly moving sonic environments which remain fundamentally rooted in the nature of the instrument. Allusions to Fogs & Liquids represents a type of music concerned with sound as something in itself, a material externality. But it can’t help but carry associations. Here the listener takes over from the composer/performer.” –Daniel Barbiero, 2013

Negritage : Guetto roots of dub (Vol. 1) [DPH002]

“It all started a few years ago in Argentina in the ‘Lavadero Records Dub Temple’ when some childhood friends were sharing their passion for ‘di roots & kulcha music’ and exploring the dub sounds and the Jamaican tradition. Past, present and future are represented in their sounds. Analogue vibes meets the new waves of dub vibrations of the 21century. After some time they moved to another place called ‘Cuca Roots’ where they recorded some dubplates included in this album (Dub control skank, Herbsman shuffle, Roots & kulcha and Dubbing time) and now they are building a new studio called ‘El fuerte dub foundation’.

All members of Negritage, William, Nacho, Leo, Pato and Herno have played together since childhood and are still play together almost every weekend, continuing their musical journey, helping each other to record the instruments for the tracks.

Negritage’s gear is whatever is available, some time analogs other times digitals, mixer consoles for the overdubbers, a turntable for the vocal samples, sometimes a Kawai drum machine from the eighties.”

Alessandro Crimi & Patrick Zigon : Order Of Priority EP [BIOS_007]

“The Biotop Label celebrates the first anniversary with a beautiful collabo-EP of Alessandro Crimi and label-head Patrick Zigon.

Exactly one year ago the Biotop Label released its first EP. The Various Artists EP Lebewesen, including tracks of Paulo Olarte, Alessandro Crimi & Patrick Zigon. 5 more and more experimental releases were following. Now it’s about time to get back to the starting point of the label-history, and to drop some deep emotional Dub-Techno.

Patrick Zigon likes to collaborate with creative guys, which he has proven again and again on previous Biotop-EPs and his 2011 album The Alpha State. This time he has teamed up with the swiss Grandseigneur of Dub-Techno. Alessandro Crimi gained a lot of attention with his trademark-productions for Sthlm Audio, Polytone and his freshly launched label Waehlscheibe. Alessandro and Patrick had some inspiring days at the Traumraum Studio at Lake Constance and developed what they call Caribbean Dub-Techno. Deep and hypnotic chords, shaking woods & percussions, all topped off with a caribbean and melancholic mood.

They invited another Biotop-key-artist for a proper remix-treatment. Fortunately Gabriel Creole has caribbean roots. The rhythm-master adds his typical percussions and mellow pads to the original track.”
