After long years of work the author of unique and successful albums “Shallow and Profound” (2000) and “Splendid Isolation” (2005) is back with his new long-player, “Passive Control”, which is considered to be the third, closing part of the trilogy. “Passive Control” is another typical contradictory, multilayered Yonderboi title that can be explained in different ways. One of them refers to the constantly changing and unpredictable economical/social situation of today, which is witnessed by most of us inertly, hoping that this recession-thing “gets sorted out” soon. The album’s opening song “Sustainable Development” is an equally beautiful and sarcastic interpretation of this phenomenon, featuring the suggestive voice of Edward Ka-Spel - who can be familiar already from the previous album’s closing song “Even if you are victorious”. “Passive Control” could also describe the typical...[ read on ]

Anders Trentemøller has become one of the most respected names in cutting edge electronic music in the last few years. His rise to notoriety was sparked by his early, techy releases for Poker Flat and Audiomatique and has since gone on to stellar highs with his own personal take on the genre, spanning, pop, rock, indie and classical. His debut album ‘The Last Resort‘ was released in 2006 to much international acclaim, and the producer also began to become an in-demand remixer in the house and techno world. As the decade wore on his sound continued to progress, opening up his studio to more live instrumentation, and a looser, rock-meets electronic vibe with his stunning ‘Into The Great Wide Yonder‘ LP.Now this special double CD and double vinyl release celebrates some of the producer’s favourite remixes he completed for other artists, and also some of his personal picks where other...[ read on ]

The story of Pitchben is one about consistency. It’s the 80s. A young boy is growing up to the soundtrack of Electro Funk, drawing influence from the likes of Jackson, The Whispers and D-Train and developing a genuine passion for music. Around 20 years later in 2011, this boy is releasing his debut album “Pitchslap” on Compost Records. This root of funk has been a constant since his childhood. Exploring new territories in the 90s Pitchben, known as ‘M-Tech’ at the time, started to deejay and produce at the young age of 13. Working the turntables like an instrument, he became one of the key figures in the world of Scratching and Turntablism. In 2002 he won the German DMC finals with a scratched interpretation of “Break Machine – Street Dance”. Since this rather intense excursion Pitchben is focusing on production, sounddesign and audio engineering, crafting as well his own music but...[ read on ]

We are Planet Perfecto is the first in a new compilation series from dance pioneer Paul Oakenfold that reflects the diverse, non genre-conforming sounds that have given him the legendary status he holds today. Both CD’s are packed with Paul Oakenfold’s freshest productions and remixes – including his amazing vocal collaborations with Tamra, his single with Infected Mushroom called “I’m Alive”, the smash hit on Perfecto Fluoro “Full Moon Party” and his blissful cover of “Sleep” forthcoming on Perfecto. With a tracklist that features no less than 20 Perfecto & Perfecto Fluoro releases (including the killer goa single from Protest Movement and Paul Webster’s amazing remix of “Southern Sun”) — the album is also a call to arms for the new line up of exciting acts now fronting Paul’s Perfecto Labels.

Even after the success of Diary ?1 - Upon You’s first CD label compilation - it was clear that the Berlin crew wasn’t through with their adventures and had every intention to keep documenting them (and doodling in the margins, too). With nearly 70 releases in their catalog and with recurring label nights held in their hometown’s top clubs Berghain/Panorama Bar and Watergate, Upon You felt it was time to make another full-length statement in the form of Diary ?2, compiling 12 new, exclusive tracks, showing the label’s wide sonic spectrum within the realm of techno and house music. But Diary ?2 isn’t just some uninspired victory lap. Whereas the first edition was curated by Marco Resmann (who co-runs Upon You along with Hawks Grunert), this time the honor goes to DJ/producer Marcus Meinhardt, a core member of the Upon You artistry and bookings roster as well as co-founder of the...[ read on ]

The Planetary Assault Systems project has been active for some 15 years now, channeling an exploratory theme into cutting edge, non-conformist techno for the clubs but also for listening at home. His last album for Ostgut Ton, “Temporary Suspension”, re- instated that classic P.A.S sound and found the dextrous artist touring even more with this rougher, purist techno aesthetic. And yet again Slater maintains his prolific output with the announcement of “The Messenger”. In his own words it’s a project that stays very true and honest to the Planetary Assault Systems goal: a journey of discovery, to create new sounds which are not otherwise present in club music at this time. From the album’s beautiful introduction track “Railer (Further Exploration)”, which floats through the bubbling ether before leading into the mysterious depths of “Beauty In The Fear”, it is clear that...[ read on ]

IOTDXI is the newest instalment in the classic R&S compilation series. Previous instalments have been responsible for rounding up the labels roster at the time and presenting their finest tracks to a wider audience, and have gone onto become classics in their own rights. With R&S again re-positioned as one of the most forward thinking and musically diverse electronic labels around, this offering raises the bar in the compilation stakes. They have been waiting for the right moment to re-launch the series and now having built an enviable roster of cutting edge young talent it makes perfect sense to return with IOTDXI, a true showcase of the label’s distinct identity and varying sounds. Disc one contains highlights from the last 18 months and includes contributions from Blawan, Lone and Untold whose classic R&S influences are worn on their sleeves. Tracks from James Blake, Pariah...[ read on ]

On the heels of the ‘Fleur’ EP and this summer’s ‘Love Pressure’ remix project, Sepalcure has poised to release their eponymous debut full length through Hotflush. The duo of Travis Stewart (Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma (Braille), utilize the broader canvas of the album format to develop their collaborative process and incorporate the diverse influences present in their solo work to their sonic mixture. Machinedrum’s much-heralded ‘Rooms’ LP and Sharma’s recent EPs on Hotflush and Rush Hour reflect the impact of the frenetic, paranoid rhythms of the modern Chicago underground on the wider electronic world and the return to vogue of another musical style that originated from that city: House. But both artists add a crucial sense of emotional sensibility and melodic sensuality that defines the Sepalcure sound. ‘Yuh Nuh See’ takes the bite out of juke’s trademark staccato bass...[ read on ]

Kiyamas first album represents a milestone on her trip through her very own private cosmos of sounds which started in 2001. Both confusing and obscure, but still very reflected and conscious.

Gala is part of the exciting wave of Greek talent that has risen through the ranks of the house and techno scene over the last decade. He is a prolific producer who has released music on some of the hottest label around including Rekids, Ibadan, his own Escada Music and of course Plastic City. Away from the studio he has travelled the world as a DJ and maintains a passion for underground music that has only grown over the years.
