Ante Pom - Neue Heimat (Thomas Lizzara RMX) OUT NOW!!!

— Well, is it working?
— Shh, I almost got it.
— If we don't open the damn safe in three tries, we're screwed. The mutagens will be released immediately, turning us into useless, drooling brats.
— Ew, I can't stand zombies!

Carefully moving the stethoscope along the cold thickness of metal, Cat was listening attentively in an attempt to analyse the clicks. The multiple amplification effect helped to ease the haste that hung in the air and hid between the lines even when one wanted to calm down. The dangerous scam with the intergalactic monetary fund had long matured and was finally executed. There, in the heart of the vault stuffed to the brim with bills and gold, the only feasible option was to guess the code.

— It seems that the lock connects to the opening mechanism, which can be anywhere on the door, via a system of gears.
— Yeah, that leaves us with either the plasma cutting or C-4.

Spacelunch was awkwardly pulling an inverter out of his suitcase, anticipating a big boom in the same breath. It is hard to know which solution would have come first if the sensor on the smartwatch had not gone off. A squad of stormtroopers was already heading towards them…

B2. Tm Shuffle & Tapani Rinne – Obsession [snippet]

There was a deep rumble - the sound of machines. It was what inspired him - the loud noises and the reverberating echo of progress as the noise grew and grew in a great harmonious cacophony.

Some said that one day machines would rule us all, little did they know about the wild ambition of mad scientists and anarchists who would use them to unleash unruly madness.

However, the machines could be just as peaceful if they were allowed to be. Just because something roars does not mean that it has to bite.

Forthcoming on Compost Records, a compilation which spotlights and showcases the best of a newish generation of krautrock featuring producers and musicians such as I:Cube, Fred und Luna, Abrão and many more. This track from Halwa takes our pick of the bunch.

This is the 2nd teaser 2-track single taken from the upcoming compilation V.A. “Future Sounds Of Kraut Vol. 2” – compiled by Fred und Luna.

We’ve got awesome feedback, amazing quotes for Future Sounds Of Kraut Vol. 1, very good sales, too, so here is Vol. 2:
17 modern krauty electronic tracks (9 of them exclusive) inspired by Kraftwerk, Can, Neu!, Cluster, Harmonia, Klaus Schulze and many others. Curated and compiled by Compost artist Fred und Luna. The collage on the cover – like on Vol.1 - was exclusively made by the fantastic artist Norika Nienstedt from Kraut metropolis Düsseldorf.

Future sounds of Kraut, what’s it all about? Maybe Volume 2 will bring it to light for you...
It’s not easy at all or even impossible to define the musical genre “Kraut”. Nevertheless, Compost Records and Fred und Luna strike out on the path to find the diverse elements of German electronic music of the 1970s and 1980s and their effects on the new German and international music scene.
After the immense success of Volume 1 a follow-up volume was soon started, tying in stylistically with its predecessor and furthermore ‒ as this is one basic principle of the series ‒ expanding the musical spectrum by adding new krauty elements step by step. So now, besides stylistic followings to Volume 1, you will hear some more club oriented and experimental tracks. Feel free to listen and get krautified!

About Kosmischer Läufer /
In East Germany, way back in the early 1970s, Martin Zeichnete (Kosmischer Läufer) worked as a sound editor for DEFA (Deutsche Film AG). Like many young East Germans of the time he would listen furtively to West German radio at night and became infatuated with Kosmische Musik and Krautrock. “Spargelspiegel” was written back in 1982. Hitherto unreleased it was one of the songs Martin recorded for himself when he had some free time in the studio. He was planning to use it as part of his ‘Jahre der ruhigen Sonne” project but it fell by the wayside. Luckily it is now available exclusively on this compilation.

About Fred und Luna /
The curators of this compilation, live in a long-established fashion house in Karlsruhe/Germany. The two plastic mannequins are the muses of musician, author and photo/film maker Rainer Buchmüller, who calls his music either Elektrokraut or Krautelektro. “Monotonikum”, with its Detroit-styled Autobahn night drive feeling, was originally released on Optimo Music in 2016 and edited for this compilation.

Get Physical Music's Classic Series reissues M.A.N.D.Y's 2002 single 'Put Put Put'. A new remix by Greta Levska complete the package. 

Get Physical Music co-founders and European house music cornerstones M.A.N.D.Y. kicked off their label back in 2002 with one of their many enduring classics. The brotherly pair went on to dominate the underground landscape with their dark and edgy take on house both as DJs and producers. Always leading from the front, they put out key mixes on the label as well as for the likes of fabric and Patrick Bodmer continues this journey. Revisiting this track now, which has been newly remastered, it's clear to see M.A.N.D.Y. would always go on to big things.

Still standout original 'Put Put Put' is a timeless take on house music with a crisp broken beat and warped bassline. Chopped vocals highlight the subtle funk in the grooves, and daubs of melodic colour add a sense of soul.

Remixer Greta Levska is a new school Get Physical Music associate who has landed in solo and collaborative mode and recently mixed up the label's Ibiza-focussed compilation. She is a regular on the White Isle at places like Amnesia Presents with Danny Howard and Gorgon City, and plays at Pyramid and Do Not Sleep. Her take is a fresh mix of house and tech with deft melodic touches and raw synths that bring both light and dark. The drums are punchy and tinged with electro energy to ensure plenty of impact in the club.

M.A.N.D.Y.'s 'Put Put Put' comes on Get Physical Music on 24th May 2024.

Rolling Around

Mmyylo returns to Polaris with a bewitching ep as he does best, showcasing the versatility and maturity in her sound through two original tracks.

We start with 'Mayday’, a hypnotic track characterized by meticulous synth work and shamanic vocals that propel you forward.  The result is an eclectic and captivating piece of work.

We continue with 'Overblock', an energetic track with musical influences marked by an imposing vocoder presence that will drive the listener mad. Every sound is well utilized in this beautifully dark production.
A solid hypnotic piece for the most underground clubs.

Enjoy!

Nobody has to introduce Felix Kröcher. From his home base in Frankfurt, the very center of Europe, he is able to attract the most simple elements that define sounds in scenes around the continent and like a good alchemist turn them into gold. In Catena EP he demonstrates how simple elements can turn into the deepest, mind blowing creation, without crossing the borders of minimalism. Catena is a master piece of deep techno, while Wigbert's remix to it is a master piece of minimalism and powerful use of synthesizers. In the second track, "Stars", he takes those elements adds a powerful peak time groove that even Umberto Pagliaroli's Tech House remix to it could not astray from. Simply, overwhelmingly, deep.

Nostalgia For Tomorrow (Original Mix)

Fritz Kalkbrenner - Amy Was A Player (High Quality)

As he walked through the long grass he made sure to pay special attention to the peace and quiet which hung prominently in the air. There was not one sound to be heard in the park, all of the people had gone home for the day and now he was blessed with the opportunity to walk in solitude between the tall trees and the shadowy groves. He took in the nuances of the environment, the small things and the beauty of the individual flowers and greenery amidst what was a celebration for the senses. This was paradise. 

Invisible Inc. will be celebrating five years this May, a wonderful feat for a small label which has punched well above its weight having released some truly stunning music in recent times. The next release on the label is a celebration of the clubbier side of the imprint, this track is from Puma & the Dolphin, a slow moving textured affair for the discerning dancer.

PREMIERE: Puma & the Dolphin - Nuances [Invisible Inc.]

TAU is pleased to announce the return of Spanish prodigy Upercent to the label for his second EP release. The Valencia-based producer goes against the grain when it comes to creating electronic music, operating in his own zone and establishing a unique sonic fingerprint. His sound is instantly identifiable and has landed him releases with labels like Kompakt, microCastle, or Watergate. Now he’s back with the TAU family to deliver a selection of avant-garde freshness...

The EP begins with ‘Lupa Clup’, a menacing cut with a rolling rhythm at its core. Upercent gently teases in an eccentric melody that adds a lighter tone to the track and, before we know it, a fevered breakdown arrives to guide us into the booming second half.

‘Esser Conscient’ follows on with more pounding drums setting an ominous mood. A bright pad sweeps in adding an air of mystery, while Upercent gets busy with the percussion, as per usual. In the top layer a variety of keys and wind instruments stir up an emotionally-charged atmosphere before we enter the latter part of this cut, which is full of pulsating energy.

Then we have ‘Carta Oberta’ - an oscillating, rhythmic workout that will ensnare your mind within minutes. This one is pretty minimal, with considered arrangement and the kind of original percussion that Upercent has become renowned for. The track oozes character and takes you on a real journey. Inspired!

Next up is ‘Mentres Tant’ with its groaning bassline and whimsical effects. Once the beat kicks in you’ll be bopping your head uncontrollably. Again, there is just so much inventive flavour in this cut, such an original take on electronic music; there are piano keys, strange twisted vocal clips and an almighty breakdown.

For the digital crew there’s a bonus track, ‘Garba Derba’, which takes us deep into the realms of tribal drumming and undulating bass. A mes- merising female vocal adds a soulful element, while sharp piano stabs create tension. The energy builds steadily until there’s a break, allowing for time to reflect before we resume our connection with the ether...
