after an ep visit from germany based artist basicnoise, it was only a matter of time before he presented greyscale with a full length. and what a strong album it is too! pattern explorations is mixture of heavy dub grooves that verge on deep techno. chords and grooves coexisting in full dub harmony. pattern explorations part 1 pulsates thru the lower frequencies making this an optimum dancefloor workhorse without losing the deepness to get transfixed by. creatives basslines and structures are explored to their fullest. patterns are experimented with but never overstep the boundaries of making a proper dub groove like in part 2. part 3 clocks in at over 13 minutes making it the second longest foray into deepness. there is a feeling of hope and eternal beauty as the atmosphere blissfully sets in among the surroundings. the patterns aren t limited to rhythm section as this one is a testament too. chords share a stratosphere with melody elements in complete grandeur. part 5 is a bit of a banger as the relentless beat pulls the listener forward in unison. part vi is particularly exciting adding remnants of an acid line and many other unique spacey bleeps and zaps. uncharted explorations for the genre of dub techno on this one! part 7 is just down right sick. over 14 minutes of an unforgiving and highly addictive dub tech groove makes this a sure-fire dancefloor destroyer. the reprise of part 2 brings the mood down quickly for an otherworldly lullaby. drifting off after that uptempo ride makes for a smooth landing as the album winds down. basicnoise came with it for greyscale s 23rd full length album! pattern explorations in full effect!

phat 2020 album !! an album had been finished by the spring of 95 and all recorded onto dat and placed in a box. k&d pressed up 10 copies and gave 4 away to some suitably eccentric individuals. fast-forward a quarter century and that box was discovered, the music was transferred from the dats and k&d painstakingly rebuilt every molecule that made up the original 10 copies. the long-awaited result is here - 15 glorious tracks that will transport listeners back to the smoky haze of 1995.

hot ibiza summer vibes

hot off the heels of the beautiful obsolete machines lp released this month, radiuss cassette demo restoration project returns to form with the interpolation tapes series. the original source tapes had aged, warped and degraded and as a result we ve preserved the best segments, sampled and reprocessed with a vintage prophet 2000 sampler, studio 440 and various linn samplers to add depth and range to the original source material. we ve spent nearly an entire year restoring and interpolating over 100 hours of music, processing sound and redesigning the blueprints of this long forgotten project. every track was originally recorded down to an old tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards. we ve had nearly every component replaced and re-calibrated to bring this obsolete machine back to life. it s been a truly nostalgic experience re-visiting and re-arranging these masters, regardless of the time passed, there s so much depth in sound design, raw emotions and when considering the limitations of hardware in the era these were recorded, they ve truly aged like a fine wine. we hope you enjoy this magical time in music, as we are very inspired by all that was happening in those years, theres undeniably something in the air, a mystifying energy, long may it live on.

rezzs involvement in the toronto scene helped grow her gritty style. events like bassmentality and older shows at the legendary guverment helped shape not only rezz, but an era of electronic music producers who became inspired from early dj college tours. mass manipulation is a commentary on how easily our minds can become manipulated by the things we consume in society. we consume heavily through the media, which, in turn, tries to curate our thoughts and dictate how we as humans are supposed to live and behave. this album plays off this idea and invites people to become hypnotized, allowing their brains to be manipulated by my music in the hope they might see things through a new perspective (perhaps an outer world viewpoint) one where everyone is free from the unrealistic expectations planet earth has drawn for them. a world of acceptance and hypnosis.

celebrate their 15 years anniversary with a 2 cd

the album is a collection of wonderful, emotional and very personal songs. written and performed by peter wangel, the lyrics are inspired by multi award winning, temporary norwegian writer karl ove knausgard and deal with very personal subjects from his own life. Òthe previous releases were about the ÒlonelyÓ feelings, the feelings that only existed in me, the feelings i wanted to set free for a long time. the new album is about my life as it is right now, about all the thoughts, expectations, worries and the happiness that comes with a new life as a family. this is a very personal album, but i also hope to express something very ordinary and something that most people can relate to.- also musically the album is a big step forward for wangel, the melodies are still subtle, but offer more nuances and colors.

decadent yet depraved, the debut album by belief defect, finds shelter and complicity in raster as home and label. familiar with the underground music scene and how its skeptical nature can also be an obstacle to overcome, belief defect abandon any claim or credit in an attempt to transcend the limits authorship imposes, avoid the boundaries or expectations earned or self imposed and find the clearest, most direct path to their music for themselves and the listener. at the core of the album is the music that inspired them, the conclusion of countless recordings listened to in their formative years that ultimately result in a life-long devotion to electronic music: from dance floor to primal anger and self-annihilating noise, to transcendental, ambient escapism and intense self-reflexive sonic layering. the result is a soundtrack for this apocalyptic time, an uncompromising reflection on the state of mankind and its uncertain future Ð underscored by a sense of religious and secular demise referenced in track titles, samples, and soundscapes scattered throughout the album. yet, more than a political statement Èdecadent yet depravedÇ is an introspective journey, turning each listener into a spiritual soul-seeker staring into the abyss, reaching for some kind of cathartic truthfulness.

welcome to the ska beat!. the sound that came from jamaica between 1961-67. based on the american rnb and doo-wop records that sound systems in kingston town used to play. the american records style started to mellow out while the jamaican preferred a more upbeat sound.. so to meet this demand the sound system bosses became record producers to cater for this demand. sir coxonne and duke reid lead the way by putting the top musicians on the island in the studio to make this ska sound!! here for your enjoyment is a selection of the some of the top tunes that made ska so greatÉ we hope you enjoy the bestÉ.

long awaited perlon compilation

the techno revolution 30 years ago, where boundaries, walls and our own guarded natures came crumbling down? the archaic establishment-challenging attitude and forthright energy of the punks? the long-awaited eruption of gay culture that had burned and yearned since the dawn of mankind? dare you travel even further back? rewind two hundred years to the romantic revolution where men like the blitzed berloiz helped us transcend our physical limitations for suspended moments of fantastique disbeliefÉ all of these moments have shaped us, our music and our culture. each movement comprising artists who like us right now are trying to make sense of the uncertain world, the chaotic present and the fearful future. artists like hell. welcome to the futureÉreflecting over his participation and contribution to myriad cultural movements since the late 70s, his passion of ever-evolving musical form and our current socialpolitical landscape, hell taps into our collective rich histories, our combined fears and our mutual desires to create his most personal, ambitious and thought provoking body of work to date: zukunftsmusik. his fifth studio album zukunftsmusik fuses some of hellÕs strong signature motifs (his passion for subversion, his great kosmiche canvases, sudden throbbing bursts of dancefloor dynamism, subtle songcraft) yet it sounds unlike anything hell has ever created before. there are very few big club singles. a delicate balance of classical dramatic orchestral tension and evocative futuristic synthesis runs throughout. dark and light, hope and fear, fast and slow, day and night.over the course of one hour helmut josef geier invites you on a musical trip of a lifetime his lifetime, your lifetime, musicÕs lifetime.

in our fast moving times five years of sharing a musical path is a remarkable way and a good moment to celebrate. mollono.bass & ava asante celebrate with their first joint album: birds flying high. by combining the catchiness of their solid grooves with a touching violin and a breathtaking voice they create a magical journey a journey that takes you along endless roads from lively african villages to mystic asian dreams. while part one of their vinyl double brought pleasure to the festival world in summer 16 already, the silence of winter gave more of their precious time in the studio to melt all their musical feelings into the second vinyl - and spring finally combines new mixes of all tracks on the album cd. lay back and relax or move your feet in passion.

schneeweiss vi: a collaboration of neighbours. over the years, oliver koletzki has continuously cited berlin as a point of reference and, more importantly, a source of inspiration. two of his albums gro§stadtm�rchen and gro§stadtm�rchen 2 have been a direct ode to the capital. friedrichshain, one of berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in olivers heat. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now.

was bewegt einen erwachsenen mann dazu, sich f�r einen ganzen monat aus der zivilisation zur�ckzuziehen und sich in eine kleine h�tte in den italienischen alpen zu begeben? im fall des hamburger musikers stimming war es die arbeit an seinem vierten album, das nach seinem refugium, alpe lusia, benannt wurde. die frage nach dem warum beantwortet stimming mit den st�ndigen wohlstandsgesellschafts-ablenkungen. stimmings album beginnt mit dem pl�tschern eines bachs, und in gewisser hinsicht ist es genau das: ein fluss, der in seinem verlauf neue str�me aufnimmt und somit an energie gewinnt, aber stets derselbe bleibt. zeitweise rei§end wie eine stromschnelle, andernorts ruhig wie eine flussbiegung, doch immer aus derselben quelle stammend. ich wollte etwas eigenes machen, eine reise die sich (abgesehen vom grundrezept house) m�glichst wenig an aktuellen str�mungen orientiert, so stimming. wenn man auf das feedback diverser kollegen vertrauen m�chte, scheint ihm dies gelungen zu sein so meint z.b. dj koze: ich bin begeistert. wahnsinnig warm, runtergestrippt, tief, verspielt und vor allem eigen! fast wie jemand, der einsam auf einem kutter �ber die meere gondelt und vor seinen kisten sitzt auf ritalin

>this mix was the perfect chance to sit down with pinch & bring together a sonic which we both feel we have been working towards for a while, albeit from very different angles. in my opinion the dance music climate in the uk is enjoying a healthy & extremely interesting transitional period one which i would draw parallels to the 93/94 proto era when people were literally making up the rules as they went along. this mix is a ode to that time & our attempt at throwing some ideas out there, with the hope of sparking some imaginations & pushing things further forward< - mumdance
