Billy Dalessandro : Fiesta Cosmique [KSR037]

“They say the universe is endless, and yet it seems that Billy Dalessandro has managed to capture it all in his new effort, Fiesta Cosmique. Intrigued by the depth of the cosmos, Dalessandro’s four-tracker encompasses the abyss in its nebulous atmospheres and animated beats: ‘Scaning Universe Gamma’ builds around minimal references and kinetic basslines, while ‘Spacebong’ moves from noise to glitchy percussive techno and back. ‘Orbiting The Sun’ and ‘Life In The Prism’, meanwhile, deliver a darker edge and the lingering sense of oddity that the Chicago-bred producer has made his signature.”

Various Canadian Artists : Great Memories [KSR036]

“Although our sound was born and raised in Germany, our hearts are tied to Canada. After years spent building connections with overseas artists that share our passion for directional music and quality production, Klangscheiben is proud to present KSR 036, a various artist compilation featuring a hand-picked roster of talented Canadian artists.
Ahead of the Klangscheiben Canadian tour, KSR 036 welcomes our friends and fellow artists in Montreal and Toronto to the label, resulting in a 10 track compilation that explores every corner of minimal, techno, and left-field electronica. Klangscheiben newcomer and Goodnight Moon labelboss Stefny Winter starts us off with ‘Monoriser’, a deep, groovy number followed up with a staccato minimal piece from Montreal’s Ozen. Twin brothers and Klangscheiben labelmates Matt and Mark Thibideau each provide input, the former’s a gradual min tech build-up with a dizzying bassline, the latter’s a take on stormy, significant minimal. Montreal analog act Little Cloud’s ‘Ice Queen’ represents her polished mysticism and alt-ambient tendencies, while Hooll’s ‘Casual Thought’ comes multi-layered and full of sound, a perfect transition into the equally complex ‘Earth Angel’ from Flandez. Chicago-bred, Montreal- based producer Billy Dalessandro’s ‘The Tick Runs the Time Machine’ provides a hint of underwater weirdness. Hushlamb’s ana+one and Alicia Hush close out the release — ana+one’s track, ‘Stick on the Ice’, a steady minimal beat, Alicia’s a dose of melodic optimism called ‘Sunny on Toast’.”

Dr​.​Nojoke : Clusters & Clouds [KSR035]

“There’s something to be said about having your head in the clouds, as long as they’re the kind produced by Berlin based artist Dr.Nojoke. For his first release under ‘Klangscheiben’, the doctor weaves his signature plethora of handmade sounds into a four-track composition fittingly dubbed Clusters & Clouds. Among the array of textural beats live ghostly reverberating vocals and lo-fi ambiance, as in ‘Autistic Cloud’ and ‘Homeless Cloud’, the latter distilled even further under labelmate Sven Laux’s touch. ‘Klorren’ balances dense, undulating rhythms with a trace of mysticism. Call it cumulotechno.”

Sven Laux : Microscopy [KSR034]

“Whoever said ‘good things come in small packages’ must have been talking about Sven Laux’s microcomposition. A leader in this new wave of music, Laux’s is a particular breed of minimal that you have to think about to truly understand. Listen at a distance, and it’s the kind of skittering beats that have earned Laux titles like ‘micro symphonist’. Listen closely, and you can hear every intricate cog turning. Ever a lover of the obscure and the weird, Laux swings from animated min tech to moments of languid ambience with ease, as evidenced in his latest effort, KSR034. The five-track release under Klangscheiben Records pairs peculiar samplings and interjections with those signature clicks, beeps, and small sounds. Micro symphony, indeed.”
