“The music-lover Gitte Verfuehrt comes along casual and delicate, infecting us with his gentle adaption of acoustic and electronic. Four enticing tracks with funky guitar riffs an jazzy pianos, combined with swinging percussions and rich basslines vault immediately into the world of Gitte Verfuehrt´s sound aesthetics.”

“Sa – electronic artist from St. Petersburg has just released an interesting and unusial album – Luna Luista. After aquiring an analog-modulation synthesizer he started an empirical search for his self in sound. This album is inspired by the French Avant-Garde artists, Music Concrete, Electroacoustics and Ambient music.
Luna Luista is both theatrical and hypnotic, full of madness and charisma. Immerse in this futuristic soundtrack!”

“Four newcomers to the netlabel in four original tracks on this new This Side Up release. Traveling from Greece to the United States and all the way back to Berlin, this transatlantic EP delivers prime house music. Thomey Bors, on his debut track release, provides the big, fast-paced opener Zarpa, a detroit influenced driving piece with a distinctive lead bassline, and hands it over to Synaptic Flow who delivers a loop based hypnotic dub tech number based on solid drums and a square bass. No Sense sings the Athens’ Money Blues, a steady tech house tool with a big bassline and spoken vox, while Tony Bar, coming from releases on Serialism & Release Sustain, wraps up the package with his abstract groove Sex Crimes Unit, a track of original aesthetics and sequencing.”

“Following on releases for OC-Records, Aesthetic Circle & a 12” for Komplex Audio, B Mus kicks off the new year at Sublime Porte with his new album Nothing as it Seems, including remixes from Grad_U, Zzzzra and a version of our own.
‘Ocean Ground’ starts off with underwater dub chords in the style of The Nautilus Project, building a vast submarine landscape backed by a solid and hypnotic 808 drum pattern.
‘A Birds Migration’ goes deeper into dub territory, with profound metallic chord washes bouncing on the corners of the stereo spectrum.
‘The Dub’ displays hints of glitch and a great ear for sound design. The track keeps building, element after element, and feels ostensibly oriented towards a club setting, breaking up halfway just to come back stronger afterwards. The fierce chords and rotating delays are not just there for decoration either.
‘In Trust’ continues on that clubbier note, with heavy rhythm machinery going on right from the start, steady hihats and industrial sounds recalling the softer side of the Downwards discography.
‘Moirer’ feels more current, in keeping with the warehouse vibe, and features great feedback layering with subtler percussions at play.
Zzzzra stays true to the original Ocean Ground in that it keeps a distinctly squelchy vibe, but it transforms the original chords into weird flute-like instruments while adding a layer of superb dubby sounds to the mix.
Grad_U then goes for a much softer and hypnotic reincarnation of The Dub, which slowly and beautifully unfolds over the course of its 10 minutes.
Closing the release is a Sublime Porte version of In Trust, with rolling thunderous chordal hits in the background, supported by a stepping house rhythm and a great construction throughout.”

“On his third EP on Broque, Stefan Schultz (alias Juno6) merges his musical influences and roots – ranging from Boards of Canada to the likes of Ricardo Villalobos and Jeff Mills – in the most direct and stunning way so far. Stefan is no stranger for most: his releases on Freude am Tanzen, Cargo Edition or Liebe*Detail gained a lot of attention as did his label “Oh!Yeah!” which he runs jointly with Sven Tasnadi and Daniel Stefanik. His new EP on Broque features five new, analogue electronic gems, which are only occasionally grounded on the dancefloor and wander off the beaten track to open up truly mind-bending perspectives. Techno history, personal reference points and state of the art sounds, are all melted into very unique and magical tracks. Devils from Darkonia clearly doesn’t need to adopt established dancefloor stereotypes but simply scores with original personality and character. The five tales on this EP could easily fill entire club nights, but for the moment, we are simply immensely grateful about this fantastic EP.”

Koolkilla knows masterly to merge completely different genres into a unique sound experience. The friends of minimalism, vintage electro, dub and not least hip hop will be thrilled for sure.”

“The third free release on Diametral Network this time comes from our well known artist Fallhead. The Other Side is a very special release with sounds you maybe never expected to hear from Fallhead. Starting with “Sound of the Hood” a fast driven tech-house track combined with jazz and funk elements for a really big groove. “Thinks” instead coming from that deep-house and dubfields, epic, timeless with a great vocoded voice. With “Spoils System” its time for the oldschool 808 electro, apathic and monumental. Last but not least we got “Vernom83″ for you, a minimal tech track with a lot of confused and hypnotic sounds for that special moments.”
