VARIOUS ARTISTS :: Futur[e]cho [CFM024]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“After months of planning and hard work, Cold Fiction Music’s third V.A. compilation arrives. Futur[e]cho began as an idea after the unexpected positive response of the first entirely dub-oriented release on the label: the DeepWarmth/Textural Being Split EP. Originally the idea of collecting people to work on a deep, dubby techno compilation album seemed too big for the scope of the label, but over time not only was the idea refined, but now the eight-month-long project is at an end, and the results are surprisingly good. The compilation, presented for your listening pleasure, features 11 notable artists in the present-day dubby, technoid scene. Coppice Halifax, Anton Mayer, Soap, Dublicator, Spiral Dub, Textural Being, ISA, DeepWarmth, As If, Spaceci and Fingers in the Noise all contribute works of art to the compilation, giving the final product a deep, ambient quality that was never anticipated when the idea was still just an idea.

And now, at long last, the release is open to the public, ready to make its mark in the history of Cold Fiction Music.”

KRYPTIC UNIVERSE // Passau [SLC0010]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“A few may still know him under the name of Microstep. In the 90s, Kryptic Universe co-organized smashing parties with the Plastic Phreak collective and spun records alongside heroes like Andrea Parker, DJ Jonson, Mike Dearborn or Arovane. Since 2003, he’s been experimenting with sounds and beats, investing his heart and soul in the silicon circuits to call to life a Detroit jazz electro style the way it used to be. Next to electronic music, jazz is the love of his life. Musically, he is rooted in Motor City and Detroit’s sound. So far, you could see him play live at the Whatever in Dresden. And while he still loves vinyl records, he also appreciates mp3 music, ever since he discovered the universe of netlabels. In 2010 his Techno output was released on two records via Melted recordings. And more to come. If you like his album Passau please don’t miss his Electro-Jazz debut 3130351 Volt over at Phonocake netlabel.”

DEVIN UNDERWOOD + MARCUS FISCHER // Correspond [DIST 020]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“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.”

NICOLAS FALCON // Nicolas Falcon [aaahh011]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“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.”
