Landschall : Cake and Communism [brq80]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“The musical history of André Noller, better known as Landschall, dates back far into his past. His childhood sensations when listening to a clock radio while lying in bed with mum and dad left very deep impressions, as did initial pubertal steps as member of a rock band or his early enthusiasm for Fruity Loops and the like. Obviously, a lot of time has passed since then. But André’s excitement didn’t change at all. And that is hard to miss, particularly when listening to his latest EP on Broque, which sparkles with energy, verve and enthusiasm. Five brand-new and jamming tracks on Cake & Communism tell a virtuoso story of house and techno which wins over the hearts and minds of all listeners. With the bleepy yet twinkle-toed ‘Dein Gesicht’ (featuring André’s very own voice) and the funky dubs of ‘Seamless Rolled’, the EP even has two true and unforgettable floor fillers in store. The same amount of commitment and honest passion led to the filter inferno ‘Anas Penelope’, a futuristic Detroit reminiscence (‘Robotic Sex…’) and the hook lines of ‘Silverreuter’ which are as simple as they are effective. Thank you so much André, Broque could not be any more grateful!”

Alexis Storm : The Storm [SOSLP038]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“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.”

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

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“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]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“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.”

Bran Lanen : Sign Of The Progress EP [CICUTA 006]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Welcome to the sixth release of Cicuta Netlabel. From Cicuta always try to support the Spanish artists, as we believe that within our borders there is an excess of talent, perhaps in the welter of names who daily come to the fore, are a little forgotten. There is a special artist, whom we met a few years ago, and surprised us with his talent and his way of feeling the music, which we do not accept that, and we try to give it the support it deserves. We’re talking about Bran Lanen.

Bran is an artist from León (Spain), passionate defender of hardware and analog. So far his career in the musical has been pretty tied to netaudio, having published on netlabels like Zimmer, Antiritmo or Geometrika, but that has not stopped him getting a great success in a commercial label such Labrynth, publishing under his aka Lifeblood.

In this EP, Bran offers 4 intense tracks, deep, mental, full of nuances that surround you in an atmosphere of darkness which is not easy to leave. Of course, without ever losing sight of the dance floor…

As for the remixers, on the one hand we have from Zagreb (Croatia) to Robert Pain, one of the artists who are making waves in the underground circuit techno artists. His label, Black Queen, despite having little reference is becoming a must for lovers of deep and dark techno. We note particularly the reference number 1, which has been played by a lot of great dj on the world stage.

Finally, and as always, from Drugstore bring our usual remix, in this case giving a more powerful vision to the track Lost Procedures.”

Myniciush : Los Cucos Curtidos [blpsq018]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Bleepsequence is happy to welcome Myniciush to the fold, who are quickly building a reputation for themselves in the netaudio world with their take on unconventional downtempo techno. Their three pieces here for Los Cucos Curtidos definitely take their time to generate a head space, and proceed to immerse the listener into some kind of dark and devious coffee house where the barista might have slipped something into your espresso. Some of our blpsq regulars popped in for a drink as well, along with a first time visit from m_Patcher (aka booPhases), and all of them bring their own unique blends to round out the release.”

B Mus : Nothing As It Seems [sp12]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Following on releases for OC-Records, Aesthetic Circle & a 12” for Komplex Audio, B Mus kicks off the new year at Sublime Porte with his new album Nothing as it Seems, including remixes from Grad_U, Zzzzra and a version of our own.

‘Ocean Ground’ starts off with underwater dub chords in the style of The Nautilus Project, building a vast submarine landscape backed by a solid and hypnotic 808 drum pattern.
‘A Birds Migration’ goes deeper into dub territory, with profound metallic chord washes bouncing on the corners of the stereo spectrum.
‘The Dub’ displays hints of glitch and a great ear for sound design. The track keeps building, element after element, and feels ostensibly oriented towards a club setting, breaking up halfway just to come back stronger afterwards. The fierce chords and rotating delays are not just there for decoration either.
‘In Trust’ continues on that clubbier note, with heavy rhythm machinery going on right from the start, steady hihats and industrial sounds recalling the softer side of the Downwards discography.
‘Moirer’ feels more current, in keeping with the warehouse vibe, and features great feedback layering with subtler percussions at play.

Zzzzra stays true to the original Ocean Ground in that it keeps a distinctly squelchy vibe, but it transforms the original chords into weird flute-like instruments while adding a layer of superb dubby sounds to the mix.
Grad_U then goes for a much softer and hypnotic reincarnation of The Dub, which slowly and beautifully unfolds over the course of its 10 minutes.
Closing the release is a Sublime Porte version of In Trust, with rolling thunderous chordal hits in the background, supported by a stepping house rhythm and a great construction throughout.”
