Format: 2xLP / CD / DL
Label: PAN 
Cat.No: PAN 60
Release Date: October 20th 

PAN is excited to announce the release of Objekt’s debut album, 'Flatland'. Written between 2012 and 2014, 'Flatland' follows up a succession of dynamic single releases from his base in Berlin, including the recent split 12” with Dopplereffekt on Leisure System, "Cactus" b/w "Porcupine" on Hessle Audio and three 12” singles on his eponymous white label series. His recorded work so far has toyed with techno and electro conventions and has turned dancefloor tropes on their head, tickling the boundaries of what can or can’t constitute an effective club record.

Approaching the album format on its own terms, Objekt makes full use of the larger canvas to explore a framework of competing truths, multiple perspectives and conflicting accounts. 'Flatland' imagines a world in which any scene can be seen from every angle at once. Semblances and cross-references entwine the eleven original tracks and Objekt’s existing recordings, shaping a powerful and absorbing album that weaves between the alien and the hauntingly familiar.
This is an effervescent body of work, its sound design evoking vivid imagery and conveying the same unmistakeable sense of detail and movement for which Objekt has become known. On his first attempt, Objekt has constructed a mature and multilayered album with its own story to tell, from whichever angle you choose to approach it.

The album is mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy, pressed on a double 140g vinyl & CD. It features photography by Joe Dilworth and artwork by Bill Kouligas & Kathryn Politis.

Objekt 'Ratchet' (PAN 60)

Lichter is the first piece in a new series of electroacoustic dub compositions by Mouse on Mars. It is a massive, lurching, up-tempo percussive epic – a long-haul runaway train that keeps switching tracks without ever losing sight of its destination. Like much of Mouse on Mars’ output, Lichter deftly traverses a varied sonic landscape, encompassing elements of jazz, dub, krautrock juke and psychedelia. 

Lichter incorporates trigger robots built by Sonic Robots’ Moritz Simon Geist and features Andi Toma & Jan St. Werner’s long time collaborator Dodo NKishi on percussion. The basic layers were produced with a feedback software called smrph, and were edited, arranged and used as a foundation for various live and studio improvisations. The 13min track, Lichter, is a concentration of these various layers. Lichter is also a highly visual piece, and performed live it employs a bespoke network of light-bulbs triggered by data derived from the sounds and pulses of the composition.

Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner have been recording and playing live as Mouse on Mars since 1993, and have released over a dozen albums. In 2014 the duo celebrated their 21st birthday with a curated festival at Berlin’s HAU theatres, and an accompanying compilation which showcased the band’s numerous collaborations.

Swing on the string of my hair
Pull me out of my safe space
Slide on the blade from my neck
Jump into the fire of my pain
We can never be filled with love
Sun sets us apart

We can never be filled

After several stunning releases to date on Night People, Beat Concern, Clan Destine and Altered States Tapes, Nice Music presents six new pieces from Newcastle's arcane auteur of heated synthesis, Collector aka Jason Campbell. 'Prosthetic' easily affords us Campbell's greatest production achievements to date, a gleaming chasm of sounds in crystalline focus - as the listener descends steadily into this space, faceted jewels of exquisitely austere sound design convolute with synth drama and urgent techno. Most importantly; although tension and visceral rhythmic intent colours this music profoundly, Campbell's obviously autodidactic creative process is the palpable spine of this music, balancing the mechanics or presentation of any clear genre references at every turn.

For fans of Vatican Shadow, Varg.

Lyrics: 
All left to suffer in vain,
there's blood on the floor,
I don't want anymore,
All left to suffer in vain,
there are things I should say,
but they all fade away...

Left To Suffer

Emerging from the Dallas’ burgeoning underground, LLORA is the solo project of synth-pop vocalist and producer Llandon Broadhead whose androgynous persona meets head-on with cold, driving dance beats on their debut single “Bad Behavior.” LLORA’s extravagant wardrobes, makeup and passionate live performances go beyond catchy pop bangers for an immersive experience with both wide and deep appeal.

In Transition

Paris in a dream

You better walk away,
no matter how you try,
wicked outlanders only trust in actions
but you can say a pray,

You better walk away,
and better run like hell,
wicked outlanders only want destruction,
but in our eyes is fun,

...and you can call me Horsehead,
you can call me Horsehead,
call me Horsehead

Horsehead
