“Overcast Sound make an impressive debut at WR with Settle, a new single featuring the sultry vocal talents of Jenny Mayhem, backed by five deep remixes from Chord, Liquid Transmitter, OVC, Giriu Dvasios and Coppice Halifax. With an already superb back catalog of releases at labels around the world (Entropy, Silent Season, Basic_Sounds and ROHS!, just to name a few) it comes as no surprise at all that Overcast Sound still have new territories to explore. Settle is less of the deep techno OS is known for, and more smoky downtempo with a distinct trip-hop influence, casting a dark, slow shadow over the room, leaving only subdued hints of cool blue chords and electric green bass visible in the haze. The remixes rewrite, rebuild and reduce Settle in ways one might not expect. Chord configures it into a minimal house groove, the vocals a distant memory of the original. Giriu Dvasios treats it with punctuated dub stabs and a deep soundfield, offering a different viewing angle on Jenny Mayhem’s vocal nuances. Liquid Transmitter completely obliterates it into a wash of echoes and ebbing synth tides, with certain recognizable elements occasionally burbling through to the surface. OVC’s version bounces with the chilly urgency of a late night drive through an abandoned city, and Mayhem’s vocals provide a human counterpoint to the minimal escape. Coppice Halifax distills Settle into a Rhythm & Sound-influenced reggae dub smoke-out, dissecting the vocals and recycling them as melodic percussion over a low and slow black coffee meditation. Following this expansive single is a full-length album, All We Know Fades, which is sure to deliver even more tantalizing audio forms from the talented Overcast Sound.”

“We first found Luca La Morgia’s music on Soundcloud earlier this year and knew we owed it to society to share. This is the first of two single releases we’ll be doing on which you’ll find acid-tinged melodic electronica and classic breakbeat manipulations. ‘Mental Disorder’ hits all the sweet spots, synthetic harps and strings colliding underneath a driving rhythm. ‘Analogue Wants To Fight’ is a slightly darker affair, but follows the same classic electronica aesthetic. Keep your eye out for the second installment next week.”

“The Biotop Label presents the first EP of the genre-breaking Aqstnik project, containing 3 deep and dubby tracks. Aqstnik combines classic piano-music with tricky electronic elements, created by two skillful maestros in their artistic fields.
The two artists behind Aqstnik can both look back on their extensive music-careers and numerous trademark-releases within their genres. For this project they decided to use an independent name, unrelated to their artist-names, so the focus is completely on the music, not the men behind it.
Aqstnik had no master plan when they fired up the machines in the studio. It was all about the intuitive flow with the aim to unify piano-music with electronic production- skills, and to develop something original out of it. In about 12 months a whole album accrued, containing 9 experimental, deep and sensitive songs, most of them freely interpreted. Cineastic and enthusiastic – in some places blue-eyed and light-hearted, in other parts dark and sophisticated – continuously emotional and packed with magic moments.
Fortunately for all music-lovers the Biotop Label drops the Tasten der Unendlichkeit EP with a selection of the most electronic tracks of this album as a free download! The full album will be released with a special concept very soon.”

“The project the fine art of despair is a combination of music and bukowski reading his poetry. This album was produced entirely during 2 weeks of june back in 2010. The inspiration for it came in a dark period and it’s atsmosphere reflects it. It is a mixture of sample-based hip-hop, downtempo, trip-hop, poetry, heavy use of cognac and beer, and last but not least a bunch of obsessions… An obsession with Vincent Price, with heavy nineties hip hop drums and of course, an obsession with bukowski’s writings. For a better acoustic experience combine it with low lighting and a brandy & orange juice cocktail… Cheers!”
