First Remix for the new Saroos record comes from Rafael Anton Irisarri (producing under his moniker 'The Sight Below' here). Irisarri cuts out the original's turn to a full-band-arranged track. Instead, he embeds the backward-sampled guitar sounds of 'Seadance' in a more abstract setting of what you could call Ambient-Techno. Foggy tones and ultra-deep bass movements bring to mind the electronic works of Pan American or even the sound-cosmos of the Chain Reaction label."

Lorenzo Belli - Untitled7

Announcing the onset of night, Driftmachine —a Berlin-based duo comprised of Andreas Gerth (Tied & Tickled Trio) and Florian Zimmer (Saroos)— have created Nocturnes, a psychoactive, dream-inducing stimulant of sorts: Evoking and maintaining a trancelike state, the duo’s six-part journey into the dark was originally inspired by reading The Rest Is Noise and listening to the music discussed in Alex Ross’ seminal book. The resulting soundscapes, written and recorded since 2012, redefine the lines between insomnia and slumber, between wraithlike dub grooves gone awry, the dancing flicker of a slack-joint bedside lamp, and eerie electronics.

Nocturnes is essentially comprised of six studies in precision: perfectly symmetrical structures that slowly spread their bass-heavy wings, sprawl like digital fungi, shift shape and – paradoxically – seem to drift and to obey the two captains at the helm. It’s an album of hypnotic and mesmerizing electronic landscapes based on various interlocked layers of rhythm. “Getting deeper into the world of modular systems introduced us to new ways of creating music,” they say, and it also allowed Gerth and Zimmer to redefine and rearrange styles and genres they generally feel drawn to – dub, riddims, anything with bass really –, so the heavy bass and percussive elements of Nocturnes don’t come in the colors you’d expect them to: Driftmachine’s palette stays true to the colors of night, a massive scale of gray.

With its meticulously displaced details and intricate harmony layers, Nocturnes also evokes the electronic avant-garde of the mid-70s, think Cluster during the band’s Zuckerzeit era. Nocturnes keeps the balance between intense, dramatic metrics and rather complex, modulated melodies. Also nodding to Krzysztof Komeda’s compositions (especially his score for Rosemary’s Baby) and the haunting, uncanny vibes of Raime, Nocturnes won’t let you sleep: “To us, the album sounds like staying awake the whole night; it unites all the different moods one might go through.”

All songs produced by Andreas Gerth and Florian Zimmer. Mastered by John Tejada.

One of the online underground’s best-kept secrets, 18+ have garnered acclaim with a trilogy of mixtapes, leading to commissions by Prada and the Venice Biennale. Blending lyrical themes of sexual ambiguity, anonymity, voyeurism and fantasy in the digital era with a minimal, yet catchy electronic hip-hop-meets-R&B aesthetic, their intrigue is deepened by how little is known about this US boy-girl duo. As 18+ prepare to emerge from the recesses of the internet, their first commercial release drops on Houndstooth.  

As ever, cut and mastered by Matt Colton, the single ‘Crow’ (“a bass-heavy, finger-click-laden banger” – Tiny Mix Tapes), backed with ‘Horn’ (“haunting” – Dummy), is the first 7” on the label and is pressed to white, dinked vinyl in a strictly limited run of 300 copies worldwide.

Tracklist:

1. Black Russian
2. Creeping
3. Spying 

DVS1, aka Minneapolis-raised Zak Khutoretsky, will release a new Klockworks record on the 16th of July 2014. It will be his third outing on Ben Klock's label, following acclaimed records in both 2009 and 2011.

DVS1 is not just a techno DJ or producer, when the time is right his sets will gladly diverge into other styles to take the dancefloor where he sees fit, and his studio work too. 'Black Russian' sounds DVS1 like in house mode, as dub techno-inspired piano chords repeat to infinity, floating above padded kicks and moving hi-hats. This is one of the lightest tracks released under the DVS1 alias, but it's still equipped to create blissful ecstasy when played - a favourite closing track for both DVS1 and Ben Klock.

Flip over to the B-side and it's back to Zak's usual tone of dark techno, the style exhibited on his previous two Klockworks 12"s. The eerie bleeps and haunting atmospheres of 'Creeping' evolve for seven minutes, driven along by shuffling high-end percussion. It is understated and subtly arranged as a tool, the kind of track DJs rely on to keep momentum building with energy and elegance.

'Spying' is another prime example of DVS1's take on minimalism, it is stripped-down and makes the most of the fewest possible elements. 'Spying' cropped up in Ben Klock's Fabric mix last year, and has been been a staple in his DJ sets; for good reason, it embodies the deep pulse and light/dark contrast of all Klockworks output.

2014 has already provided three stellar DVS1 releases, two on his own label Hush and this. It's all evidence that this producer's work in the studio is now on par with his exceptional talent behind the decks, quite a prospect for fans new and old.

Cut (Acid Pauli - Suma Beach 2014)

Following up from his dazzling headline set at our King of Kong special a few weeks back, we want to keep the love flowing toward, and fire burning for, Noema. With an appropriately Goat-y aesthetic to fit the cosmic sonics, it's only right. "Late at Night" is the first music to be aired off a forthcoming 12" on Cairo label The Magic Movement. The track sees a schronky lead tiptoe past the rickety drum structure and emerges in mid-tempo Nacho Patrol territory, with slivers of psych guitar lines pooling around the edges.

Noema "Late at Night" – Boiler Room Debuts

The third release on The Magic Movement features the label's honcho Noema from Berlin. „Antipodes“ starts off with a funky bass-line, trippy bells and syncopated claps which set an psychedelic vibe from the very beginning.
On the flipside you'll find Aunti Flo's remix with a a more dubby feel of the title track.
12" is coming to your local record store late June.

We mark our first year as a label & techno music inspired collective and celebrate it with this compilation!
We became brothers/sisters, friends and partners, we shared extreme beautiful and hard moments. Even if everything and everybody was against us, we sticked together and never gave up our dreams. Every single note we put out in the world changed something for a better future.

Thank all you guys here outside, who rocked with us on every VNR show this year. Cheers for many more soon - We love you! BLACKFAM VOL. 1 OUT AUGUST 26th 2015 #firstalbum 

About VNR: 
voxnox - „The Black Fam“ is a creation of a unique and outrageously creative collective of men and women woven out of the same yarn and cut from the same cloth. A strong familiar like cohesion is the foundation of our record label philosophy! voxnox was born from a pressing need to represent an alternative view on music, life and social values. Rebellion and Idealism is what we stand for! 

The project has been in the making for many years, and has involved the studies and synergy of many different subjects, including music (especially techno/house and rap music), fashion, arts, behavioral, social and reverse psychology, marketing, guerrilla moves, tattoos, martial arts, multicultural life as well as many others. 

The idealistic, pure style we provide, is supported by strong people with a proven character. Injustice must no longer be tolerated, our music, clothes and art are no seasonal IN-Styles, but a time-independent future rebellion.  True idealists do not whistle! 
This project is about real passion of artists who want to change the future and achieve freedom, tolerance, social justice and peace in the world. 

Maybe voxnox is a kind of illusion, a quiet call for equality, but we are the evidence of the positive mood that is still possible. 
The world of today encourages the youth to defy against the powerful! voxnox is like the real life: pure, harsh and provocative. 
Don’t trust the mainstream, seek the truth, find answers and live free!

D "Sad Strings" 9:46

"Japan: the land of the rising sun and one of the worlds biggest havens for creative, forward-thinking musical freedom. Masters of a infinite number of stripped down, funk infused brands of electronic music, the japanese crews of music makers are usually teams of noble perfectionists.

Consistently shining a bright guiding light on the japanese scene, Radiq (aka Yoshihiro Hanno) remains one of Japans best exports and the reflection of what it means to be a true musician while managing his own japan-talent-only imprint Op.Disc with wit and will.

“Rhapsody” adds to the chameleon’s release catalog a 4-tracker of deep musicality, expansive 4x4 examinations and textured realms that ebb and flow between dance-focused sonatas and the kaleidoscopic intimate travels, and ultimately begging a listen all the way through. The title track ‘Rhapsody’ (A) is Yoshihiro‘s signature exploration of humanized rhyrhms, crisp claps and deep low-ends that ebb and flow with a very peculiar organic steadiness. “Circulatory Breathes” (B) uses micro-house patterns as starting point to build something more intricate where robotic movements remain constantly intertwined with amoebic perc-samples, vocal snippets, groove swings and jazzy synths. Clocking at 14 minutes, the dreamy and deeply absorbing “Antigone” (C) is the EP’s longest work, and a true hypnotic anthem that works like a musical vortex. Radiq’s artistic indulgence culminates with “Sad Strings” (D), the EP’s jazziest exploration around heavy drum programming and dramatic mood shifts.

The double EP was visually interpreted by Max Binski in a heavily textured acrylic painting, giving this release the visual perk Pluie/Noir collectors grew accustomed to. Limited Pressings."
