“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.”

“Somewhere in Milan lives a man, who likes The Beatles. Big fucking surprise. He has also taken a shine to The Velvet Underground, Portishead, The Pixies and Tom Waits. You may, in fact, have heard of more exciting stuff. However, there are reasons for the popularity of the acts mentioned above. For one, a generally recognised high quality of their creations. Now, when a young musician like Nicolas Falcon draws inspiration from these people, it is cocksurely not exactly exotic news; it is however a fertile soil for a widespread, easy accessibility to Nicolas’ music.”

“Ear selected tracks no. 5: All kinds of dance is represented on this EP with two known artists and three new artists. Lowlander with his banging techno, Aeki Nord with his dark and dubby stuff. New are: Vitor Saguanza from portugal with more of a tech-house track, Archipelago with a more dreamy tracks that reminds us to the good old Berlin days from the early nineties (trance how trance should be!) and last but not least a slow dubby track from a dutch guy called LifePHORM. Enjoy this strong release!”

“Already with the last Strehm Ep, 06:00 am for the dance floor sound became a one breathe from retro techno and a drop of abstract electro after the expectations with high recognition taken up, now there comes the continuation of the strehm music evolution. This is a great release for the ‘ yellow wallpaper People’ Download This, …..Injekt This!”

“The vigesimal system´s key number is the reason why we call our new various artists EP Twenty Twenty. We couldn´t imagine a more suitable name for it, because it is our twentieth release on the free section of Vekton Musik. But one number twenty was not enough for us, that is why we came up with the idea to call it Twenty Twenty. It took us a while to find some punshy arguments using this double name. The number twenty already had an important meaning for the Maya citizen because they called it ‘hun uinic’, what means: ‘a man’ counted on the human fingers and toes. Therefore we unite on this compilation twenty tracks of twenty artists, as it were ten fingers and ten toes.”
