Idealist : Low and High [DN024]

“With the Idealist we present you another excellent producer on dreiton.net besides the already established Bekeschus und Marx Trukker. The Idealist’s tracks can be described as dub-techno. A great variety of delays and resonances harmonises excellently with the leads, chords and pads of the songs. This mixture finally merges into a marvellous and drifty collage of sounds. Dub-Techno in its perfection…”

Alexis Storm : The Storm [SOSLP038]

“The brand new release by Alexis Storm, The Storm, could not offer us better vibes. Each tracks traces moods and suggestions. The first track, ‘From A to Z’, goes from an initial tension, through an engaging minimal sound, reaching scathing moments. The work results complex and dense given the 8 tracks present. This is the reason why we can state that the producer from Gravina, beyond having reached a high maturity, lives a moment of equilibrium and inspiration very significant for the Italian indie scene.”

Andrés Marcos : I Was Young And Needed The Money EP [Doma011]

“Our new release of the Net series comes from Andrés Marcos, who began working on this project in 2010 with studio sessions made with the jazz drummer Roberto Titocci. Both made their first concerts in rock bands over 20 years ago, studied at the same jazz school and meet again for these recordings.

All tracks contain acoustic drum parts recorded with Roberto, as well as other acoustic parts that Andrés has recorded and reworked using hardware and software, sampling, relooping and synthesis. In this EP Andrés wanted to go make their own experiences as jazz musicians evolve in a new exploratory context, but also to develop further the electronic aspect of his music, without following the rules of already established music styles.

I Was Young And Needed The Money offers you the opportunity to travel aurally to street carnival of Tenerife, Cadiz, Rio de Janeiro, Venice, Notting Hill, among other locations where these dates are offered fun, brazen, anonymity and, in some cases, some uncertainty. Now give yourself the pleasure of enjoying this great work. Experiments on electronic jazz sounds by Andrés Marcos and a great selection of remixers: Laurine Frost, Eril Fjord, Berk Offset and Storlon.”

Giriu Dvasios : Visa [CTR022]

“So deep. Dub opens the doors for many experimentation, this Giriu Dvasios release is one of them. Much more than experimental. You will feel deeply stereo-blowed with Gera and all of those spacy effects, the beat will just lift you up as well. Gulasi is pretty deep, but nice in its style. Visa sounds like you may need to try to decrypt the sense. Misko Regis is slow, pure dub. All track will let dub addicts to in a state of no return. Lets your mind go. So far. So deep.

G.U.A. : Let Da Living Live And The Death Dance! [DAST031]

“The next number comes from the overseas, we are glad particularly to you our Mexican friend and brother G.U.A. (Global Union Amplifier) to be allowed to introduce. It is his first publication on DAST Net Recordings. His sound vision is a rapid roller coaster journey, however, it is nothing as well as it seems, rolling basses, feathery synthetic house elements, sex, rock and a gigantic grin in the face are the quite normal effect during his show. But it is also his intention that ‘The dance floor must burn’!”

Various Artists : Android Lubricated Tech-Funk [ALTF006]

“The collection of tracks represents everything Alt is about, from deep experimental weirdness to peak-time dancefloor business. There are tracks on offer from nearly all the artists we have released since the beginning, and we are very pleased to welcome some new faces. You’ll recognise some of them, and may have never heard of others, but they all share the same twisted vision for where house, techno, electronica (and any other form of music) can go in the future. Leif kicks things off with the mighty ‘Pushing Hands’, a loosely knitted bongo freakout that keeps the lounge-jazz vibe he is known for, but pushes his handling of percussion to a new level. Tone Def’s remix of Daniel Schneider’s ‘Miesekatze’ track takes a very different route, stripping everything back to it’s barest elements, with a trademark grooving beast of a bassline propelling the beat along. New to Alt, Le Jockey turns the pace up with a delightfully mental track full of pulsating techno rhythm, choppy micro-samples and a healthy dose of humour. Donk Boys take their sound deeper than usual on ‘Avgrundens Harskare’ (which means “lord of the abyss” apparently) for a sinister track rich in detail and melody.Tone Def’s latest offering is pure four to the floor funk, all nagging hi-hats and quirky ticks riding over a granite bottom end. Tom Ellis returns to the Alt fold with a textbook bumping, grinding house cut full of tricksy rhythms and that unmistakable Trimsound funk. Just when you thought it was safe on the floor, Daniel Schneider throws a hefty curveball in the shape of ‘Ask That Bitch’ that rains down gallons of beautifully choreographed sounds. J-Lab pulls things back with ‘Somewhere’, carrying that trademark melodic moodiness that permeates his tracks before blossoming into an electro-flecked party monster. Closing down the party, Storlon’s penchant for trippy soundscapes goes to the next level on ‘Oenologia’, possessing an immense level of sound design.”

Abstract Nostalgic Fractals Systems : The Inner Peace [bump170]

The Inner Peace is the debut full-length of the ambient techno/dub techno duo Abstract Nostalgic Fractal Systems. The album was preceded by mx01 EP, released in November 2011. The duo comments that ‘the album is a repetitive addition to our first EP’ and ‘is an album that grows inside you, when the more you listen to it’. The Inner Peace follows the minimalistic style of mx01 EP, with long and repetitive compositions. M1A1 stated that ‘[he] was tired of using only synthesizers on a PC’. For the album, M1A1 wanted to leave aside the digital synthesizers and samplers on laptop: ‘The album is a battle space of 55 minutes between analog and modular tones, modulated noises and field recordings’.”
