This year's Nachtdigital record follows the path we started to explore in 2017: To combine artists who are close to us, each given the specific task to tell a story in up to 24 minutes (which is pretty much the maximum you can press on one side of a vinyl record) - with complete artistic freedom. And we are more than happy with the contributions we received:

KANN went for a decidedly collaborative effort, gathering bits and pieces from the label's core artists and glueing them together for one big, cohesive narrative. The result is somewhat experimental but also typically KANN in its sound and character: Intimate and homely but also dancy and energetic.

Johanna Knutsson turned in a long Ambient piece that feels like talking a walk with her through summery fields and meadows. It's Johanna's first proper Ambient release and quite the perfect fit since she will also give her live debut on Nachtdigital's much-loved Ambient stage this year.

Vai follows on side C: He is a longstanding member of the Nachtdigital crew and has been writing and producing the music for our traditional opening performance for many years. One of the most versatile and yet-to-be-discovered producers in our sphere, this elaborative piece hopefully also is just a teaser of what's to come in the future.

Side D belongs to the most odd contribution we got: Poet Manuel Stallbaumer and music "professor" Stefan Schmidt-Dichte (also known as Perm) brought their individual talents to the table and created a remarkable piece of listening pleasure - a weird, baffling fusion of poetry and sound that is definitely worth diving into.

The record comes in form of a double vinyl LP with fancy gatefold cover and artwork by bus.group. As always, the release will first be available at the festival and in a handful of carefully selected record stores thereafter - as well as at the Nachtdigital webshop.
The total playtime of the record is almost 90 minutes so it really is the perfect companion for a nice walk through the park, cooking with friends or taking an evening off on the couch.

Jonny Rock a familiar face on the London house and disco scenes is recognized by many for working behind the counter at Phonica Records & Blackmarket Records during the 00’s and as the dude for playing the guitar in ‘Freaks’ project. Rock skillfully joins the dots between the old school house, underground disco and boogie vibes in a party setting.

Buy ltd. hand-stamped 12" vinyl & digital EP: mechatronica.bandcamp.com/album/mechatronica-white-2

2nd release in the limited vinyl White series dedicated to sounds across synth, new wave, EBM, italo and electro, comes in the form of a split EP by Danish producer Nixxon and Italian dance wave wizard Franz Scala.

Nixxon's gloomy, cosmic electro slow-roller opens Mechatronica White 2, followed by the heavier sounds of West, driven by razor-sharp synth stabs, voodoo percussion and a colossal bassline to boot.

On the flip, Franz Scala meshes italo, acid and spacey synth grooves into two effective anthems for the floor, destined to move bodies and transport minds.

Franz Scala - Kleine Reise [MTRONW002]

One of the undisputed jams from my debut album Open Wide, just enjoying its 10-year anniversary with a special reheat/re-edit/remaster treatment, downloadable free for a limited time to make it hot for all <3

Tapatio (10-Year Anniversary Edit)

In a post truth world with an emboldened far right, JD Twitch and JG Wilkes have decided to make a stand and have branched out with a new sub label from the mighty Optimo Trax, called AF Trax, an abreviation of Against Fascism Trax. 
Optimo have put together a manifesto which firmly nails their political leanings to the post. Challenging the idea that music and politics don't mix, they assert that if it can be used in music to tackle ignorance and to celebrate the struggles and marginalisation which led to dance music becoming such a thriving global scene, then dance music is overtly political after all. All profits generated by the label will be donated to Hope Not Hate, the UK based anti-racism organisation. 
One of the highlights from the debut EP on the label from Guy Veale AKA Logtoad is the quirky but deadly drum laden analogue zinger which is Ratchet Beat.  Beats, breaks and hi hats jot out a complex rhythmic journey before being punctuated by dirty acid bass leaving us in no doubt that the key battles fought against fascism will be on the dancefloor.

PRE ORDER

Betonkust & Eilandnet - "Ultra HD Game Water" (Mothball Record R0B01)

BAR03 is BAR Records’ very first spring release.
With 2 tracks by The Hague’s JEANS and 2 more by Italian duo Younger Than Me this one is dedicated to the ravers. 
First track by Jeans is ‘Grand Theft Mind Explorer’, a race car journey full of various breaks and melodies into the 4th dimension. The second track ’Nohzdyve’ sounds like a spring tune on a hardcore clubnight. The peaktime beat slowly fades into a sweet and nicely confusing end. 
Younger Than Me’s ‘BaRave’ has some classic UK rave elements; the signature drums are accompanied by a happy end of the day melody. This track asks for a perfect sunset.
‘Dirty Sex’ is the different one, a vocal track for darkrooms. Contains the beautiful voice of Justine.

If heavy industry is a thing of the past, no-one told Identified Patient. For the past few years, he has been a one-man factory: by day, assembling component parts of acid, techno and all varieties of wave (dark, cold, minimal) on the production line; by night, a DJ dynamo pulsing with so much energy he could power a small city. His style is the kind of churning, lithe, fractured machine funk that could make Trent Reznor weep with envy – mean but clean, sinister and stomping but crucially, never overconfident or overblown. After two show-stopping performances at the parent festival last year, Signals In Snakes marks Identified Patient’s first Dekmantel release, for the technoid UFO sub-label.

Opener “The Drip” lives up to its namesake, slowly lowering elements into the field of play with partner in crime Sophie Du Palais. No prizes for guessing what exactly might be dripping through this fetishistic slow burner, so we’ll let your sordid imagination run wild. “Let Me Do It” takes the pent-up anguish and lets rip with the mood of unearthed electrical wires sending sparks flying, an upscaling of intensity that continues on “Chantal Chant.” Envisioned as the moments of tension before a gladiator fight in ancient Greece, the acidysound is that of barely restrained militant chaos. Our battered fighter’s swan-song, “Lucy’s Comeback,” marshals the dark undercurrents of bass and brings us to a close. Giving a new lick of shiny paint to a well-weathered industrial exoskeleton, Signals In Snakes is one to unify the cold-blooded villains and hot-blooded lovers all summer long.

In collaboration for Dekmantel Festival 2018, The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision’s RE:VIVE initiative and Dekmantel teamed up for the second time to invite four local artists to breathe new life into 4 archival films from the Sound and Vision and EYE Filmmuseum archives. Jordan GCZ, Suzanne Kraft, Parrish Smith and upsammy were all assigned short animated films dating back to 1921. The films and their new scores debuted at EYE on August 2nd. Unsurprisingly, each artist imparted their unique styles onto the films that they previously had no relation with. From Suzanne Kraft's sparse atmospherics that have become more apparent in his new SK U KNO project to Jordan GCZ’s free flowing hardware jams. Parrish Smith showed his contemplative side and sparse orchestrations that he demonstrated on his RE:VIVE release, Genesis Black, a sonic departure from his bombastic releases and DJ-sets while upsammy showed yet again her deft hand for melody and texture, a style that dominates all her releases to date. 

These four scores can live apart from their films, fitting seamlessly into each artists' growing catalogs of work. But when combined, it’s as if the films and music were made simultaneously with the artist and filmmaker together in the same room. Dekmantel and RE:VIVE are proud to present these new works as the electronic music scene in The Netherlands continues to show its multifaceted talent that continues to expand far beyond the dance floor.

“Greetings Sisters and Brothers...

Welcome back to the global entertainment franchise that is Birdscarer.

We return with a product of the sublime magick that is created by the alchemy of circumstance. Boy meets girl in an acid house (in this case Glasgow's Berkeley Suite), a collaboration is planned; and after a slgiht fermentation due to my procrastination and slackness, Scott Fraser and Louise Quinn's "Together More" is now in your trembling digits. Enjoy.

Masterchef Aki Aki serves us with his first solo release ‘Dishjockey’. The 4-course EP gives us an insight into Aki’s audio-culinary delights that are certain to spice up any dancefloor. 
‘Müsli Boys’ starts us off with a killer hypno-liquid bassline and elbows-out gated community riddims, followed by the squeeking dreamy dubtech adventure titled ’Mailo, Urbanisation du Huan’ (featuring Kaschiel).
