for the labels ninth release, deep a & biris black crow records revisits one that helped establish the labels direction back in the imprints first year. bcr003, insular realms by fellow israeli producer hakimonu, was praised by many including resident advisor, who said the ep proved his off-kilter take on techno and house is as vibrant and inviting as ever. now in 2017, deepa & biri have invited mind against, luigi tozzi and echologist (aka dub techno veteran brendon moeller) to all rework the original version of insular realms for 2017. first up are life & death’s mind against, with one of the fognini brothers most direct techno productions yet, with a mid-track moment of calm before the intensity resumes. luigi tozzi, the rome-based producer who has had previous outings on dynamic reflection and dino sabatinis outis music, contributes the second remix. taking the lead from the originals more ethereal moments, his version is dreamy & almost wistful as it propels along its shaking rhythm. the b-side offers two takes from brendon moeller in his echologist guise, with a dub mix that twists the original into an acid-inflected track that slowly ratchets up the tension over its seven minutes, while the reshape breaks things down into a churning rhythm peppered with flashes f off kilter sonic details.

deepa & biris black crow records further expands its horizons with its seventh release, welcoming another new artist to the family following appearances by 2030, aril brihka, hakimonu, luke hess, rod, inland and markus suckut. the analog roland orchestras label debut follows the widely acclaimed 2030 ep and shares with it a widening of the labels sonic scope to once again showcase deepa & biris desire to reach beyond techno and explore ambient and cinematic musical textures. michal matlaks analog roland orchestra finds the poland born & berlin based producer in the conductor role among an array of classic electronic hardware, taking on the role of shaping & directing a free flowing sound that moves across genres, whether in a studio or live setting. his previous releases for labels including ornaments, rotary cocktail recordings and pastamusik have seen the project indulge in an array of sounds across the techno spectrum. aftermath ii is no different, moving from the classic roots techno sounds of plant and father detroit, through the dub excursion of urei dub, to the cinematic, boards of canada & tangerine dream-recalling pair her and aftermath. for those with a taste for electronic musics widescreen possibilities, taros arrival on the tel aviv imprint will be a long term favourite.
