@mongtong [ 夢東 ] Taiwan

Unreleased & Untitled tracks by Mong Tong

Mong Tong 兄弟3人組，他們聽著電子琴音樂、電玩配樂和迷幻搖滾長大。從民間傳說到外星人為題材，創作自稱的「迷信音樂」。

Mong Tong are brothers Hom Yu, Jiun Chi and 仝. They listened to what they describe as “Dianziqin music” along with video game soundtracks and psychedelic music. 

These inspirations combine with Taiwanese folklore and a love of conspiracy theories to form what they describe as “superstitious music.”

Live @ Labyrinth - Pete Namlook Tribute

ASC [ Auxiliary, NonPlus+ , Exit ] U.S.

Growing up in different areas of England, on a steady diet of Motown, Techno & the blossoming UK Hardcore scene, his productions manage to encompass such a wide range of these influences. Starting out DJ’ing with a bunch of like- minded friends on pirate radio stations while still in school, ASC soon found himself getting interested in how the tracks he was playing were made. This led to an investment in a modest studio setup, which proved to be a defining point in James’ life.

An initial batch of tracks were written between 1997-1999, and eventually a 7 track demo appeared, of which 6 were signed to West Midlands based Nu Directions, and the remaining track was signed to LTJ Bukem’s well known Good Looking Records. Around about the same time, the offer came to sign to Good Looking exclusively, but James felt this wasn't the right move for him at the time, so after a handful of successful releases on these labels and a few others, he started his own label, Covert Operations, which went on to put out a total of 30 vinyl releases & 8 CD’s between 2000 & 2009.

After receiving much praise for his intricately detailed and well thought out productions, ASC amassed a serious back catalogue of releases on some of the most forward thinking labels out there, such as 720 Degrees, Offshore, and Paradox’s Outsider label.

2010 saw the release of 'Nothing Is Certain', the ground breaking LP which received critical acclaim from many of the top music magazine, blogs and sites. This marked a culmination of the 'new' ASC sound that had started to form steadily over the last few years. Gone were the old jungle breaks, replaced by a more cross-over friendly IDM style sound. This was music that reached far outside of the drum & bass circles that ASC had been confined to and it did so with great success.

Auxiliary is ASC's new label and where he focuses the majority of his underground releases these days. Outside of that, James has been busy working with Hollywood music companies such as Liquid Cinema, releasing a library of custom tracks designed specifically for film, adverts and TV. Add to this a love for ambient and techno production and it's easy to see why he is rated so highly by his peers and fans, as he is able to turn his hand to most sounds with ease.

The Gods Planet / Italy

We were greatly enchanted to listen to Claudio PRC and Ness’ new exclusive mix for SMOKE MACHINE; this unique recording was carefully mixed & edited to its essence aka “The Lost Tape”! We must say that this is an absolute gem shines out!

It contains a light yet calm rhythm throughout the whole mix, and was almost like leading the ears and mind to somewhere mysterious; or yet was following the vibe along a long corridor to a hidden wonderland?

Delicately crafted, warm, curious and engaging. Simply beautiful!

Ness - Russian Techno Connection #7 Radioshow

Sometimes, an album comes along which blows everything else out of the water. Then, you learn it’s the artist’s very first release in this particular style. And then, that little tingly feeling you get from discovering a new favourite artist creeps up your back at you sit clasping your headphones with eyes wide open, in anticipation for the next track, for more, and more.

This sounds pretty dramatic, but this is exactly how I felt when I first heard Roger Martinez’s self-titled production as Horizontal Excursions. The electronic DJ/Producer from the Netherlands had well and truly grabbed my attention under his new moniker and his album, was easily one of the best releases of 2011.

Two years later, Roger has revisited his Horizontal Excursions ambient guise, taken a trip into nature’s beating heart and pulled off another absolutely beautiful piece of work that ambient enthusiasts like me, simply fall for again and again.

-

The wilderness stirs something primal and unfathomable in us all. We become overwhelmed, awestruck, even emboldened, by these untamed frontiers, content to revel in the unspoiled beauty or compelled to explore what lies within. For some, it’s a cold, harsh reality; an unforgiving tundra of survival and subsistence. But, when afforded the indulgence, this isolation is the purest of them all.

“There aren’t many places left in Western Europe where you can still immerse yourself in pure wilderness” Roger begins, “in fact, the only environment where I have truly experienced this is in certain parts of Switzerland. My latest trip to Zermatt, located in the canton of Valais, has greatly shaped the music in this symphony and I was reminded that all of nature is something that should be respected and revered.”

A regular traveller through the country, Roger’s willingness to lose himself (in every sense of the word) in the abundance of natural beauty heralded Symphonica Helvetica – an untainted journey through the mysticism of the Alps, velveteen swoop of Swiss valleys, and the siren-song of nature.

“Away from the large cities of Zürich and Basel, you enter into a totally different kind of environment,” he states. “For me mountainous areas epitomize something indescribable, something sacred. I lose sense of identity and, sometimes literally, become lost in the landscape around me.

Inspired by the power of his surroundings, Symphonica Helvetica crystallizes those moments, and Roger captures, and softens, the endeavour of trekking through the terrain. A symphonic soundtrack that casts a heavy ambient blanket, there’s a sense of uphill resistance as the summit nears; the enormity of casting an infinite gaze for miles; the deep, contented inhale as you survey the forest canopy thousands of feet below and feel, for that moment, like it’s all you.

“In these places you really see nature at work: sculpting, flowing and grinding through the mountains,” Roger explains. “The fruits of my past trips through the mountains of Switzerland have amalgamated into the symphony that I present to you here. This is the musical translation of the visions and experiences I had standing on the edge of mountain cliffs, overlooking valleys, walking through snow-clad forests, enchanted by mountain tops in full view. These are the shamanic songs of Mother Nature still at reign in her grand domain: a living myth put into sound pressure waves.”

New http://soundcloud.com/stazma-the-junglechrist ep out on Acroplane Recording.

With his 1st EP on Acroplane, Stazma the Junglechrist kicks the doors clean off with his Acid Bleed EP, a fine example of sonic combat.

This EP is not for the faint-hearted as it tears out the very soul of classic sounds of the Roland TR909 & TB303 and augments it to within an inch of its life. Sonically distressing and exquisitely mixed.

Blasts in with the blood thirsty rhythms of "Infected Brain Cell", followed by the force-full and holistic melodies of "Your Computer is Under Arrest" and " Eyes Bleed Acid", plus his well received acid-laced remix of Balkanksy & Loopstepwalker's "8.9" - all topped off by groundbreaking remixes by Electromeca and 2methylBulbe1ol.

The Acid Bleed EP is not to be missed by those looking for the edgy outer limits of acid techno and Industrial.

Van Bonn [ Telrae / Trapez / Brouqade ] Germany

“You see something in the sky; you see something on the Earth and then feel the vibrations. Then cool.” – Lee Scratch Perry

Concentration, Capture, Release.

This sequence forms the basis of Van Bonn’s sound. He applies an obsessive focus on detail, enabling him to establish the various layers in the track that create a unique depth to his music.

Based in Berlin and Copenhagen, the producer and DJ Reimut van Bonn is already gaining valuable recognition for his dub techno releases – with his contributions for labels such as Telrae & Brouqade, his remixes for Trapez, and other work for labels such as Traum resonating in headphones and on dancefloors since 2011.

Van Bonn’s instinctive feeling for sound and timing is inherent in every of his dub influenced techno tracks. The wide open temporal tier allows the listener to dive deeply into the different layers and explore for themselves. Mighty kickdrums, subsonic basses and the trademark chords of Van Bonn drive his tracks forward. The development of rich soundscapes is an integral part of his musical creativity. It provides a basis for his sweeping DJ sets to absorb the dancer and transport them into a world far distinct from reality. The relaxation felt in Van Bonn’s smooth tunes highlights the liquid flow of his music. This is occasionally contrasted with the harder, more ecstatic dub techno tracks – a combination that inevitably creates tension. His distinct characteristics define him to be a versatile and impressive artist with the potential to find his way into the inner circle of Techno.

During the first quarter of 2013 the specifically founded label ‘Van Bonn’ will be born and will release Van Bonn’s future music.

Upcoming releases:

Anthea - Dana Ruh - Like A River (Van Bonn Remix) - Brouqade (Vinyl & Digital)

Mace. [ Eclipsemusic / Further Records ] Italy

Mace. (Enrico Cesaro), is a young producer from Padua. His first attempt at music studies is with classic piano, after that he starts to produce experimental electronic music trying to portray his own irrational reality. The project Mace. begins as a 'stream of ideas and miscellaneous subjects' that need to be shared with whom listens to it, feeling the urge to build a sort of 'substratum' (environment, state of mind, political and social ideas), a live ground where to grow 'auditory ideas'. Generally speaking there's a dark mood to the music: the tracks seem to be improvisation of soundtracks and representations of obscure environments. Music samples and 360° audio effects, no rules: Mace. sabotages loops (voices, guitars, noises) and distorts them in order to get the maximum level of saturation in the sounds.
In 2013 his first physical releases will be out: an old school record tape for Further rec. (Seattle, US) and an album for Eclipsemusic (Turin, IT). In the meantime some other projects are coming soon.

Purchace Rodion G.A. - The Lost Tapes
<a href="http://smarturl.it/rodionamazon">Amazon</a> • <a href="http://strut.greedbag.com/buy/the-lost-tapes-16/">Strut Store</a> • <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/album/the-lost-tapes/id647439244">iTunes</a>

The full story of Romanian genius Rodion Ladislau Roșca and the music he recorded as Rodion G.A. involves the stifling artistic climate of Communist Romania in the early 80s, the ingenuity of amateur recording, obsessive record collecting, early synthesizers, unheard archival recordings, and eventual recognition. Basically the kinds of things that make our heart beat faster! A more comprehensive version of Rodion's history can be read <a href="http://www.strut-records.com/content/musical-magic-unearthed-romania-journey-rodion-ga" target="_blank">here</a>, but a listen to the music alone should be enough to make it clear that there's something special to what Rodion has created. 

The Lost Tapes, the first ever commercially released album of Rodion G.A.'s music, is out now on Strut Records in association with Future Nuggets and Ambassador’s Reception.
