Deepad : Africa Trip [blpsq024]

“The heat wave continues with another collection of shimmering and summery grooves, this time courtesy of Deepad. He brings us a journey into deep funky loops that are sure to warm up any floor, or provide the perfect atmosphere for baking away in the sun. Jay Phonic also brings an edgier take on the title track well suited for full moon ritualistic freak outs, and Tilman drops a surprise funk bomb. Have a nice trip!”

Paul Gutschmidt : Prepynion [unfound68]

“Germany’s Paul Gutschmidt delivers some deep, heady, leftfield minimal grooves on prepynion. Plus two more German producers dish out floaty remixes — Sven Laux with a laid-back atmospheric minimal head-soother, and Jonn Melchiat with a groovy minimal house rework. That’s right. It’s time to get laid-back and groovy.”

Till Krüger & Patrick Zigon : Drone EP [BIOS 002]

Patrick Zigon likes to collaborate with creative guys, which he has proven again and again on previous EPs and his 2011 album ‘The Alpha State’. This time he has teamed up with the talented Till Krüger from Southern Germany for the second Biotop release. Till has gained a lot of attention with his timeless hi-class productions for Treibstoff, 200 Records and Bullet Dodge as well as remixes for Gabriel Ananada, Alle Farben & Patrick Zigon.

Till and Patrick had some inspiring days at the Traumraum Studio at Lake Constance. They combined their skills and produced a deep techy 3-tracker – melodic and emotional but with a huge dose of dub. Hypnotic pads and chords create dreamy sequences, while the bottom-end is filled up with pushing sub-basslines and warm kick-drums.

Each track stands by itself, but together they also provide a continuous atmosphere, the typical Biotop-mood.”

Union Jacques : Dub Pets (the C side) [upfree47]

“Jacques returns with an instant classic EP and a little name change to honour and tribute his now 7 years in the UK. Also known as Jacques Malchance, Upitup’s founding member has been living in Liverpool since 2005 (partly on a houseboat owned by no other than Mr. Scruff) where he is well known for hosting one epic event after the other.

From the debts of the North West UK here comes…

UNION JACQUES!— [echo effect]

The tracks from Dub Pets have been classic standouts at most of Jacques’ live sets since 2007, combining deep dance floor crushing Mersey Bass and chilled synth Dub landscapes with constant quotes and references to hardware, especially to his long standing friend, sir TR-707.”

Sergi Boal : Nylon and Turtle [AT027]

Nylon and Turtle was recorded after that, while he was watching jazz pianist Brad Mehldau , Sergi Boal, guitarrist and composer, had a revelation: the necessity to create his own music. This necessity led him few months later to record this CD. There are 9 songs, most of them recorded in one or two takes, so it’s almost a live recording. It is an organic and intimate album, in which the guitarist tries to make a little travel. As in Ice Voice, where it can be appreciated the Nordic influences of Jose Gonzalez, or Yorke, where we can hear echoes of Radiohead. Fukushima is a tribute to the victims of the tsunami in Japan, in where it mixes anger and calm; The incident of the Bell features great tecnique and sounds with a mixture of pop and grunge music, all with the same nylon guitar. In Frontera, the flamenco sounds in his fingers, and take us to Orecchio di Dioniso, and then we get carried away through the last song of the album, “Is anybody out there?”, a composition that borrows the title from Pink Floyd, ending with a question. This album is the starting point of this guitarrist of Barcelona, who decided one day to make his own music with the guitar. Sit back and listen … is anybody out there?”

Tleilaxu : Undivided EP [SLXR015]

Soluxion is not just techno, but is also Tleilaxu: the experimenting of fresh beats that throw you in a secret and imperceptible movement of the body. He’s a great stimulator of the dance of our shy and sleepy buttocks while we are waiting for a mojito at a café by the sea. All this is Tleilaxu from Unfoundsound: an assembler of verses of sheeps, shard of glass and a lot of coolness. He rocks.”

Grube & Libre : Second Hand Karma [sm027]

Grube & Libre’s debut release symbolizes their diversion from conventional sounds and goes beyond the scope of Deep House and Minimal Techno. The evolution of deep and soft tonality, dreamy and looping sounds, backed by a well balanced and constant groove shows that making electronic music is really much more than just a hobby for them.
Crisp and impulsive, persistent and subtle, sophisticated and balanced, they show that their acoustic feeling is far from being confined or defined. Consistency and playfulness combined with acute and meticulous concentration reflects the unique sound of this wonderful duo.”
