Zuko : Crown Upon Me EP [DR011]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on February 11, 2013

“Back from far too long of a hiatus, we bring you an amazing new artist from the Left Coast: Zuko. The title track has 2 mixes; the ‘Ocean Wave Version’ is a stripped-down, deep excursion into the vibe with amazing vocal work from Zuk’s friend, Saturna. In the ‘Deep Tech Version’, we get a funkier, more Philly style of house that’s sure to cater to the fans of Kevin Yost and i! Records. ‘Somber Flight’ is nearly 10 minutes of tech house in a classical, sweeping chord and broken beat sound we knew and loved from labels like Immigrant in the early 2000′s.”

Melting Clouds : Macadam [SLNT046]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on February 6, 2013

“Macadam – afflux without enveloping space. Waves of dissolving time. Feeling like a bright flame, which is above the mountains.
Melting Clounds are trying not to limit themselves to any particular genre or style while constantly transforming. The reason is that the music they play goes beyond the threshold of ‘just music’, it has its own visual characters and philosophy which are entangled with other areas of art blurring the lines and united under the flag of Melting Clouds. As a result, one of the main goals is consolidation and synthesis of both musical palettes and various forms of art in order to create new vision of the process of creation. Also, one of the goals is to cooperate with people who have fresh ideas and the willingness to cooperate.”

Krautfass 3000 : Little Voice EP [BIOS_005]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on February 5, 2013

“The Biotop Label kicks of 2013 with the most experimental release so far.
‘Krautfass 3000 combines different fragments of musical history and genres to create an explosive flow of psycho-sensory quodlibets that exist somewhere between chaos and order.’
Krautfass 3000 is an innovative band-project combining music & art performances. Their music develops always intuitive, there‘s never a plan what they will play, it‘s a surprise for everybody – most of all for themselves. As Studio-neighbours of Biotop Label-Head Patrick Zigon they are quite a big influence in Patrick‘s music and way of working generally. He already collaborated with a few Krautfass 3000-musicians for his album The Alpha State. So it‘s about time to release their debut-ep on Biotop.
Little Voice was recorded live at the ‘Kunstnacht Konstanz 2012’ in Southern Germany, when Krautfass 3000 played their concert under the ‘Rhein-Bridge’, as highlight of the event. Additionally german visual-artist Roxana Purmandi made an amazing video for this 12-minutes-journey.
Biotop-resident Paulo Olarte and Flix reworked the experimental original-files into their very own deep, dubby and soulful versions.”

Yallah Fingah – TTY EP [TRANZ048]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on February 4, 2013

“Yallah Fingah is the main project of Fabio Skonieczny. His main source of inspiration is oldschool techno and electrofunk, always with a hint of latinity in his creations. Loaded with classic elements of electronic music, the music of Yallah Fingah is pure experimentation focused on tracks, combining modernity of virtual instruments to the classic sound of techno and electro.”

Enclosure : Fifth of 3 [pyr069]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on February 3, 2013

“nearly five years in the making, fifth of 3 completes a three album, two ep serial quasi-concept album sequence that began with [ROOM]’s spaces. the change in moniker is intended to usher in the change from the possibilities and travails on spaces to the constraints and traps in fifth of 3. the brackets around Room were to foreshadow the evolution while offering an ironic play on the word – space in one sense but closed space of a building in another.
this recording covers a dynamic audio range. please be careful with your stereo systems. damage may result at high volumes.
the individual tracks are made available under creative commons for non-profit use. the entire series is covered by copyright for commercial purposes. please contact the artist through pan y rosas for licensing.”
