Matthias - Wise Citizen (MR-05)

@alexanderskancke is a Berlin-based DJ, producer and rising talent within Europe´s underground house scene. The young Norwegian has made a sizeable impact on the electronic music scene, dating from way back to his early releases on Neostrictly, to the internationally respected releases on his own label Quirk (@helloquirk). Entrenched in his love for vinyl and analog productions, Skancke is imbued with a passion for the very roots of house music, but has also kept his ears open far beyond the boundaries of electronic music.

Skancke’s excitement for analogue is reflected in all aspects of his life: from his work at Bikini Waxx (a record shop in Berlin specializing in second-hand vinyl), to his fascination with vintage studio gear, all culminating in his music having a wonderfully raw and organic feeling.

The 3 tracks that make up his “Public Trouble” ep showcase Alexander Skancke´s knowledge of the history of dance music without copying the originals, but instead creating his own unique signature.

The A side - “This Go This Way” sends you on a crazy acid dream, driven by a hypnotic unstoppable beat with Alexander Skancke´s voice appearing out of the ether, before vanishing away. 

For the B1 track “Wind Sync” Alex teamed up with his label mates and renowned DJ- and Producer-Duo Foehn & Jerome (@foehnandjerome) at their studio in Berlin. Together they've masterfully crafted a light footed minimal house track with a slightly melancholic touch.

The EP´s title track “Public Trouble” truly shows off Alexander Skancke´s love for deep minimal funk: An ultra groovy piece of music based around tight beats and warm basslines, topped off with a funky stripped back synth line.

Sweater - Contact In The Zone EP - Blkmarket Music 
[Blkmusic 014 - 15TH RELEASE]
 
BLKMARKET MUSIC announces the 15th release. Philadelphia’s Sweater makes his first appearance on the label with ’Contact In the Zone.’

We met Sweater (Lucas) in Philadelphia during the summer of 2021 when Taimur was there for a weekend for a Blkmarket x Subsurface warehouse party. We exchanged contacts during the trip and he had mentioned he had a bunch of unreleased music to check out. 

His productions caught our ears immediately and are in a league of it’s own. 

We knew it right away it was fitting for our label. 

Lucas is also a wicked DJ, and a record clerk at Impressions Philly record shop.

We are excited to share this new release with the world. 

A five track 12” spanning the realms of Breakbeat, Techno and Tech-house.

“A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into the wondrous land of imagination”

Inspired by an iconic science fiction film, The Question blends cinematic atmospheres and trippy vocals with a progressive melodic techno groove at 124 BPM, built for peak-time energy. Hybrid textures, tension, and a dancefloor-ready punch. Produced in a hybrid setup, it blends the warmth of analog synthesizers with the precision of digital production.

Slackjaw Grit

Berlin based record label, founded by Barbara Preisinger:
Every minute we are listening to music we are sharing a few specific moments of the musician´s life.
Our most beloved pieces of music are usually more than just the sum of beats, chords and notes: they also reflect on a period in the life of its producer. In addition to the musical experience each work also contains current life situations, memories and future expectations, some included intentionally, some unconsciously. 

Somehow it doesn't seem appropriate to put these SLICES OF LIFE only onto a hard drive amongst hundreds and thousands of imageless files, fearing that the next crash will delete and destroy everything. This is why instead of watching a list of track titles on a screen there are still so many music lovers who prefer to hold the result of all these hours of work and musical commitment in their hands as timeless documents printed onto vinyl. 

Therefore  Slices Of Life is featuring vinyl as preferred media for deep, warm sounding, funky and diverse club music.
