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’.”

Juno6 : Devils From Darkonia [brq79]

“On his third EP on Broque, Stefan Schultz (alias Juno6) merges his musical influences and roots – ranging from Boards of Canada to the likes of Ricardo Villalobos and Jeff Mills – in the most direct and stunning way so far. Stefan is no stranger for most: his releases on Freude am Tanzen, Cargo Edition or Liebe*Detail gained a lot of attention as did his label “Oh!Yeah!” which he runs jointly with Sven Tasnadi and Daniel Stefanik. His new EP on Broque features five new, analogue electronic gems, which are only occasionally grounded on the dancefloor and wander off the beaten track to open up truly mind-bending perspectives. Techno history, personal reference points and state of the art sounds, are all melted into very unique and magical tracks. Devils from Darkonia clearly doesn’t need to adopt established dancefloor stereotypes but simply scores with original personality and character. The five tales on this EP could easily fill entire club nights, but for the moment, we are simply immensely grateful about this fantastic EP.”

Various Artists : Iron: Dragon’s Eye Sixth Anniversary [de6010]

“The release of Iron marks the sixth anniversary of Yann Novak relaunching Dragon’s Eye Recordings, the record label originally created by his father Paul Novak in 1989. In previous years, this anniversary compilation has been a chance to look forward to the coming year of artists and releases. With Iron, we will be looking backward at the previous 6 years.
For Iron, artists featured on Dragon’s Eye were asked to contribute either a solo piece or a collaboration with another Dragon’s Eye artist. The results came together as a massive free download compilation, consisting of 24 artists, on 20 tracks and over 2 1/2 hours of sound. The compilation came together as a perfect mix of the styles and voices featured on Dragon’s Eye over the last 6 years.”
