Fans of the Berlin based Nils Frahm are by now familiar with his beguiling live shows where more often than not fellow touring artists are encouraged to join Frahm on stage – the likes of Rachel Grimes, Rob Lowe of Balmorhea as well as label colleagues Peter Broderick and Ólafur Arnalds have all obliged with fascinating results. It will come as no surprise then that Nils Frahm, an accomplished composer and producer who signed to Erased Tapes in 2009, has extended his collaborative live musings to encompass the recording studio, working for the first time with noted cellist and fellow Berliner Anne Müller to produce 7fingers. 

With their first collective release Frahm and Müller have built a world where modern classical and electronica collide creating an ‘intoxicating and delicious’ collection of songs. Primarily a pianist Nils Frahm provides evidence with 7fingers that he can effortlessly turn electric throwing in loops, samples and glitches to accompany and showcase Müller on cello. Anne Müller, a renowned musician noted for her work with the Wolf-Ferrari-Ensemble, Phillip Boa and recent tours with Agnes Obel, proves an amp musical partner for Frahm. 

As the recognition continues to grow for Nils Frahm’s previous solo piano works Wintermusik and The Bells, 2011 sees a new side to this young talent as he embarks on a detour into strings, symphonies and glitch beats alongside the estimable Anne Müller.



PRESS:

‘The combined talents of wunderkind pianist Frahm and Anne Müller here produce a subtle, seductive chamber music sporadically interleaved with electronic glitches’ **** – Mojo

'Ludwig Van draped in velveteen electronic violence. A record of fractured beauty. A worthwhile venture' (7/10) - Drowned In Sound

‎'Imaginative and surprising collaboration. It teases out goose-bumps in way that alone gives rise to a hope this won’t be the last time we see the two working together' – BBC Music

‘An album that sees headphone electronica, modern classical, and soundtrack music all converge to beautiful, intelligent, often terrifying effect’ Track Of The Day – The Line Of Best Fit

‘One of the most emotionally-evoking neoclassic records of the year’  8/10 – The Silent Ballet

‘7 Fingers is an absolute necessity and will surely stand as one of the better releases of the year’ –  Fluid Radio

‘I can’t recommend it more… Intoxicating and delicious’ – Headphone Commute

TR/ST is the musical project of Toronto artist Robert Alfons.

After years of extensive touring, and garnering glowing praise from top international critics at Pitchfork, VICE, and The Guardian UK for the 2012 Juno-nominated debut album 'TRST', the follow up album 'Joyland' will be released by Arts & Crafts on March 4, 2014.

'Joyland' is an eruption of guts, eels, and joy.

Pre-order: http://www.galleryac.com/trust-joyland.html

- "'Rescue, Mister' features a slightly clarified sound compared to TRST's grinding grit, with some impressive vocal acrobatics from Alfons.” - Pitchfork
- "'Rescue, Mister' is harder and clubbier and more concrete than anything on TRST, but it keeps some fundamental darkness intact.” -Stereogum
- "'Rescue, Mister' proves that Alfons's lost none of his synth craftmanship, sending disco-pop through a crazed, futuregasm vortex.” - This is Fake DIY

The White Lamp
Ride With You
HFT031

Hotflush's first release of 2014 introduces a handful of new faces to label. The single, a moody house slow-burner titled "Ride With You," comes from UK duo The White Lamp, a collaboration between stalwart London producer Darren Emerson and vocalist Peter Josef. 

In addition to an extended dub by Emerson, the record also features remixes by the militantly mysterious Berlin trio ItaloJohnson and Fachwerk label boss Mike Dehnert, who inject the original with a shock of jacking minimalism. 

Italojohnson's vinyl-only version uses a gummy bassline and elastic percussion to craft a tightly-wound tool, while Dehnert strips the track  of its dense atmospherics and supplies crisp, herky-jerky drum programming. 


Tracklist: 
1. Ride With You (Original Mix)
2. Ride With You (ItaloJohnson Remix) Vinyl Exclusive
3. Ride With You (Mike Dehnert Remix)
4. Ride With You  (Darren Emerson’s Dub Exravaganza)


Release date: January 27th 2014

Release: 31.01.2014

w/ Bjoern Stoerig, Benjamin Franklin
remixes by Kyodai, Oliver Schories, KANT

Info

The first release of the new year has to be a special one, with 2014 being no exception. After strong EPs on Light my Fire and various remixes, Dan Caster presents an absolute treat on Stil vor Talent, his ‘Bleeding’ EP. 	

The title track kicks things off: here, Benjamin Franklin’s soulful voice carries us through a sea of dub chords, which slowly build into an emotionally charged climax. Kyodai’s remix then offers itself as an ode to classic deep house, as one encounters warming piano keys and saxophone sounds in perfect harmony with the original’s vocals. For ‘Nouvelle Future’ Dan enlists Björn Störig. It’s instantly obvious that the pair is a good match; their organic sunset-house is made for those epic dance-floor moments. Aided by a driving groove, Oliver Schories then accentuates the guitar and vocal elements of the original to great effect. Next up, Dan delivers an outright party-starter in the form of ‘Freaky, Noisy’, which, lastly, KANT reworks with a nod to electro for good measure. 	

Selected Feedback
Kellerkind: WHAT A BOMB!! love Dan Casters productions and also the remixes are great!!

FORZA.04 - Contemporist [FORZA] 
Original release date: June 16, 2014
--

ᕙ(`▽´)ᕗ 

FORZA is Origami Sound’s concept-based EP collection focused on DJ tools and mainly club-oriented music that might not make much sense in a home listening environment. This is not music that you can lounge or have your siesta to. 

Second in line for our series is Bucharest-based Contemporist, an architecture student by day turned big, dark room techno-craftsman by night. The four-track selection is not for the faint of heart and it takes a skillful artist in a headlining timeslot to deliver them at their full potential for the optimal crowd impact.

Pain (Acid Pauli Remix) [feat. Mooryc]

Taken from 'Ultraísta Remixes'

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/ultraista-remixes-bonus-tracks/id689968135?ign-mpt=uo%3D4

Ultraísta Remixes compiles a year's worth of remixes from friends and collaborators within the ever-expanding Ultraísta orbit. Though some of these tracks have become breakout singles in their own right – collectively clocking more than two million plays on the band's Soundcloud and YouTube channels – Ultraísta Remixes has been perfectly sequenced to succeed as a stand-alone album (an alarmingly strong one, no less). Rarely do remix albums have this level of quality control and seemingly infinite replay value. Whereas Ultraísta's debut album commits to its palette with uncanny precision and devotion, Remixes explodes its individual parts and reveals the group to be equally compelling as techno powerhouse (Four Tet, FaltyDL, DC Sux), dark electro-pop (Zero 7, Zammuto, ERAAS, Canon Blue), experimental dance (Prefuse 73, Matthew Herbert), and even driving industrial rock (David Lynch in an inspired NIN-meets-YYYs turn). The combination of all of these seemingly disparate parts makes for a surprisingly cohesive whole, and a remarkable companion to the original album.
