funkadelic have created an enduring legacy, and the power of their impact is visceral in detroit. their records not only played with genre, but possessed a diabolical sense of humour that led to music domination by the late 70s with parliament, funkadelic, parlet, bootsy’s rubber band and the brides of funkenstein all releasing albums the same year for two years in a row. the music itself is beyond stereotype, but equally huge is that they were a black band not allowing themselves to be limited by anyone else’s notions of who they could be, having a massive impact on the next generation of detroit music, detroit techno. but more than just techno, it is a freedom of thinking that extends beyond boxes, so we included all sorts of today s generation of detroit musicians and producers to show the wide range of music that was funkadelic and how these ideas are still contemporary, they endure and inspire.

the new jerusalem-based label raash records opens its doors to spread the city s heavy mind-bending sound. the label kicks off with a debut 7inch by producer/musician ilia gorovitz. it s an explosive mixture of raw drums, gut-shaking riffs and head-swirling synths, influenced by the 1970 s horror film soundtracks and today s bass-heavy electronica - a combination that makes it appeal equally to psych and beat heads alike. side a s -turmoil- is a dirty and aggressive mid-tempo slasher, backed with a krauty crawling horror downbeat of -simmering with no end- on the flipside. recommended for fans of mophono, the gaslamp killer, drumetrics and goblin.

with many new roads traveled over the last few years, the gaslamp killer is back with the full-length lp instrumentalepathy. glk will initiate his new imprint cuss records with instrumentalepathy. french surrealism artist albane simon designed the cover, supplying an array of psychedelic imagery that contains a brilliant sense of connection to glk’s music & the chaos he’s survived. instrumentalepathy features an impressive cast of artists tied closely to glk over his music career with brainfeeder, low end theory and beyond. guests include gonjasufi, miguel atwood ferguson, niki randa, kid moxie, mophono, amir yaghmai and the heliocentrics. it’s been over a decade since glk and gonjasufi have collaborated on new music, bringing the two natives of san diego back together for something truly special.

auf >breakthrough< verschmilzt kalifornisch-inspirierter psych mit einflüssen aus aller welt. durchdrungen von ominösen und verzerrten tönen sowie entfesselten drums ist >breakthrough< vielmehr als eine sammlung von beats - hier fusionieren elektronik, psychedelic-pop, funk/soul, hip hop und dubstep zu etwas eigenständigen und aufregendem neuen. gastaufritte von gonjasufi, adrian younge, dimlite, daedelus, samiyam oder computer jay machen >breakthrough< zu einer reise der kreativen verbundenheit und einer stammes-zeremonie mit einem gefühl von gemeinschaft, welches den stellenwert der kollektiven erfahrung für the gaslamp killer wiederspiegelt. mit >breakthrough< gelingt the gaslamp killer eines der spannendsten debütalben in 2012!
