SKYLAX 121 - B.Hardrock Striker - Motorik Life (DJ Sprinkles' Moutain of despair)

Following  in  the  wake  of  "Leland"  (2012),  the  critically  acclaimed  full  length  debut  by  label  founder  Francis Harris,  Scissor  and  Thread  is  proud  to  announce  the  November  18th  vinyl  release  of  "You  Can  Always Leave,"  Harris'  first  material  under  his  own  name  since,  and  the  first  hint  of  his  anticipated  sophomore  LP , "Minutes  of  Sleep,"  due  February  2014.  The  new  single  portends  the  mood  of  the  ensuing  album,  a  further foray  into  Harris'  signature  blend  of  house,  modern  classical,  shoe-­gaze  and  noise  which  is  the  artists  most ambitious  and  accomplished  work  to  date.  As  the  sole  dance  floor  moment  on  the  LP,  "You  Can  Always Leave"  picks  up  where  Harris'  cult  hit  "Lostfound"  left  off,  with  vocals  once  again  from  Danish  vocalist  Gry Bagøien  and  the  heartbreakingly  august  trumpet  of  No  Regular  Play's  Greg  Paulus.  The  remarkable  Terre Thaemlitz  delivers  an  epic  12  minute  remix  on  the  flip  under  his  DJ  Sprinkles  guise  which  is  sure  to  make this  12inch  a  sought  after  piece  for  house  music's  analog  enthusiasts.

Haco - Shower Alone (excerpt)

from the album "Stereo Bugscope 00" (CD 2004)
by  Haco
「ステレオ・バグスコープ 00」
HACO

The name "Stereo Bugscope" refers to a performance system that detects oscillating sounds emitted by the circuitry of electronic devices. It also signifies the act of listening to the electromagnetic world that emerges from the inside of devices such as computers, cell phones, MD players, and wireless routers through the use of two inductive microphones (pickups). The oscillating-circuit sounds come from the IC board and clock, and the electromagnetic noise comes from the electrical current that turns the fan and drives the motor. Waveforms similar to the audio frequencies of electromagnetic leakage, which is faintly emitted from machines, are also released by the inductive coil in a pickup. The sound is then electronically amplified to magnify these signals which are ordinarily so faint as to be inaudible. According to one's position in relation to and distance from the source, changes in the sound can be observed. 

ステレオ・バグスコープ｣は、電子機器内部における回路上の動作発振音を検出するシステム。二つの誘導性マイクロフォン（ピックアップ）を用いて機器回路から発生した電磁界を覗く。 コンピュータ、携帯電話、デジタル・プレーヤー、無線ルータなどの基盤上のIC、クロック、ファン、モーター駆動などによる電磁ノイズを拾う。 機器からかすかに磁気漏れした音声周波数の信号と同様の波形が、ピックアップの誘導コイル内にも発生し、それを電気的に増幅している。これらは通常、不可聴な微弱信号である。発生源との位置、距離の関係により音の変化が観察できる。

Era Mari 恵良真理: drums, vibraphone, percussion, bass marimba, bamboo xylophone 

"Hoahio's second CD is even more quirky and varied than the first. Joining koto virtuoso Yagi Michiyo and Kansai vocalist Haco this time is Era Mari, a remarkable young percussionist from Kyoto. Her brilliant vibes and marimba playing gives this release a bit of a Beefheart flavor, but of course there's much more than that. Noisy improv, charming folksongs and romantic moods from this classic trio out of Japan." —Tzadik (USA)

from the album "1979" (CD 2004)
by Yesterday's Heroes (Haco & Terre Thaemlitz)
「1979」
イエスタデイズ・ヒーローズ (HACO & テーリテムリッツ)

A special duo project featuring Haco (vocals, effects) and Terre Thaemlitz (electronics, voice).
Yesterday's Heroes' debut album 1979 (released on La Louche in 2004) is an ambitious and unique pop collaboration between two artists who are better known for their experimental work. The concept called for the two of them to form a 1979-early 1980s new wave group and perform as younger, inexperienced versions of ourselves. Not quite Thaemlitz, not quite Haco, but a kind of "after-school" album. The songs, which have been described as "New Wave opera," recall classic techno-pop and industrial beats, but also seem to overlap with the coolness of today.

Haco（ヴォーカル、エフェクト）とテーリ・テムリッツ（エレクトロニクス、ヴォイス）によるスペシャル・デュオ。彼らが2004年にリリースしたデビュー作『1979』は、実験音楽の領域で活動する二人のアーティストによる、ユニークでポップな野心作。このコラボレーションのコンセプトは、79年あたりから80年代初期にかけてのニューウェーブのグループという設定。そしてまだ世にでる前の、青くさい自分たちを演じること。テムリッツにあらず、Hacoにあらず、二人の放課後編というべきもの。"ニューウエーブ・オペラ" と称されるこのアルバムは、懐かしのテクノポップやインダストリアル・ビートの時代へさかのぼりつつも、現在の背景に冷やかにオーバーラップされている。

June - Lost Area (DJ Sprinkles Lost Dancefloor)

Matt Tolfrey drops the second single from his ‘Word Of Mouth’ EP this May, via his Leftroom imprint, opting for the infectious groove of ‘Encarta’ and pulling in Marco Bernardi and DJ Sprinkles on remix duties.

Matt Tolfrey’s, Leftroom, imprint has gone from strength to strength over the past seven years, and his debut full length ‘Word Of Mouth’ earned critical acclaim amongst peers and press alike. Here Leftroom offers up another stellar addition to the catalogue, further showcasing Tolfrey’s undeniably on point A&R skills by pulling in sought after artists DJ Sprinkles and Marco Bernardi to present yet another refreshing release from the label.

The original version of ‘Encarta’ kicks things off here, its cosseting Rhodes melodies, whispering vocal licks, gritty shuffling snares and sheer elegance draw you in, and further display Tolfrey’s experience in the industry with its classic meets contemporary vibe.

Clone, Planet E and Futureboogie artist Marco Bernardi steps up first to rework ‘Encarta’, putting a slightly more driving spin on the original number with insistent arp lines, crunchy distorted drums and raw saw wave bass tones thrown into the mix. Bernardi displays his more than capable production skills through evolving melodies and subtle nuances, resulting in an up-tempo, tasteful interpretation. Last up to close the release is the forever on-point DJ Sprinkles, stamping his signature emotive, ethereal touches on the original. Sprinkles, as he often does, goes to full lengths with an eleven minute mix, meandering through an amalgamation of synth and drum variations with a genuine song structure, as expected it’s an intelligent, forward thinking rework.

Matt Tolfey’s ‘Encarta’ is out on Leftroom 15th May (Vinyl) and 29th May (Digital).
