Today Phase Group are thrilled to present our next release by newcomers to the label, the excellent Hamburg band, Love-Songs. Their new album 'Passive Progressive' will be out on cassette and digital on October 18th.

Love-Songs are the trio consisting of Thomas Korf (electronics + vocals) Sebastian Kokus (Bass) and Manuel Chitka (Percussion) who make cosmic, kraut-inspired electro-acoustic music. Many will be familiar with their previous output on wonderful labels like Kame House and Bureau B.

'Passive Progressive' lands in the form of 8 enthralling tracks that take us through dreamlike and psychedelic echoing territories, where Korf’s modulating electronics and effected vocals ripple over the grooving rhythm section of percussion and bass supplied by Kokus and Chitka. Across the album, the band are joined by a host of guest musicians and friends from Berlin and Hamburg’s underground and experimental music scenes, supplying Trombone, Mbira, Clarinet, Flute and extra synthesisers and vocals to enhance the mind-expanding and unique sound palette of these incredible tracks.

As with most of the material we’ve released on Phase Group, this is music that’s hard to pin down, that lends itself equally well to creating transcending atmospheres in the early moments of a special kind of club set as to soundtracking a mind-bending and deep personal listening experience. We’ve no doubt that the sound that Love-Songs have crafted with Passive Progressive will be enthusiastically received by all sonic voyagers and fans of the label, and we’re over the moon to welcome them to the Phase Group family.

Passive Progressive is available on limited cassette, with double-sided risograph print artwork by Andrija Čugurović. 

Preorder is available now from our Bandcamp.

Russell Haswell - Various Recordings (James Ruskin Amalgamation) [DIAG050]

Hailing from Klaipėda, the hub of Lithuanian electronic music beginnings, Kaubrys is a Vilnius-based producer and co-host of the Dykuma radio show on Radio Vilnius.

Embracing a hands-on approach, Kaubrys experiments with hardware synths and samplers to create non-conformist sounds while staying grounded in solid rhythms. His compositions often focus on breakbeat, bass, and dark, aggressive sounds, yet venturing into dreamy and melancholic soundscapes when the mood strikes.

The mix for Electric Shapes encapsulates Kaubrys' dualistic approach. It's designed for both listening and ignition of movement, guiding the listener from subtle head nods to full-body groove. Tracks from Jan Loup to Neida take you on a one-hour journey through bass, breaks, and dubstep.

Seven years after their inaugural release, Yekateringburg-based imprint Faktura prepare to unleash ‘Р​я​с​к​а’ LP from Russian production duo Ryaska - consisting of Anton Fedorov and Evgeny Komolov...Our pick for the premiere is the second track 'Лесотундра' translated as 'Forest-Tundra' - a 5-minute odyssey of dark ambient and sci-fi drone, broadcasted from a long-forgotten and rusty radio transmitter, invoking the gradual metamorphosis of frozen landscapes into eternal oblivion.

Snippets of SIDE B !!

SES1 set out what quality electro means for Shipwrec. The first in the series brought together six musicians from far and wide, musicians who journey through the colder edge of their analogue instruments with a clear ear for the floor. SES2 starts where its predecessor left off. The genre bending Ian Martin opens with the frigid funk of “Hyperstatic Transformation.” Stripped back, the track is bare in terms of its elements. Despite such meagre ingredients, Martin concocts an engaging and rich work of darkened grooves and sinister undercurrents. o-0._.0-o is the playful pseudonym of acid freetekno enthusiast Owen. His contribution, “Acidrobotik”, releases a free and wandering 303 lines that forges a bubbling path through crisp percussion. The flip brings an artist better known for his work in techno. Cliche Morph delves into the clinical side of his palette and emerges with the stunning “Placebo.” Balancing alienated and arctic blasts with a thawing warmth, the outcome is pure classic electro. A rising star of machine music follows, Fleck E.S.C. A dirty bassline is further sullied by layers of gritty distortion and glitched vocals in this re-wired work of ghetto. A legend of electronics closes, Kirill Junolainen. Under his lauded Konerytmi moniker, this synthesiser shapeshifter delivers “Kuva Alkio.” Stuttering bass and tight drums are the foundation from which sci-fi inspirations take hold, sailing strings tethered by a terse snare as SES2 is brought to a triumphal close.

Trust the Rust is back with a vengeance. The second compilation by Kri Records takes up where the previous one left off: rusty electro, occult wave, distorted acid and melancholic EBM.

We're happy to welcome back Alonzo, NY's finest, who opens the release with his signature 808 bass. Hayter pushes pitched-down vocals and filthy electro vibe further, while Chino delivers a diabolical ravey EBM banger. Serbian duo YusYus marches on with an authoritative synth anthem Masters Of The Future and Disco Morato finishes the A side with a hypnotic slow burner Ultime.

B Side opens with a bang by Parand, followed by arctic electro mist crafted by System Disorder (aka Dj Nephil). Marco Segato smoothly blended electro and jungle with the track Subconscious, Zagreb collective Lab Personnel's dark stomper might evoke fist pumps on the floor, while E.L.I.'s nostalgic piece Atonal Being rounds the release.

"Children of Leir is a band project originally from Leicester, UK now based in Hamburg. 'Barrow Boot Boys' is their 5th album. Spanning over two 20 minute sides, the album prominently features the 808 drum machine combined with heavy, distorted guitars. While previous release were described as motorik-driven, mystical horror infuenced psych rock, this latest output has more of an electronic touch to it with strong Wave and EBM influences."
