One could almost not concoct any better myusic than this.

Our next release is a family affair involving two artists who previously released on Samo Records. Tassilo Vanhöfen, who was featured on our “Sphere” compilation, delivers a hypnotic EP with three of his signature low-tempo/trance-y tracks, perfectly matching the vibe of these strange times. 
“Laterna Magica'' gets reworked by Itako, whose “Standards” EP came out on Samo last year; the result is a sped-up version that will haunt you for days.

I dream of you so quietly. Your likeness is not visible, the wind obscures your silhouette. You create spirals and don't know why. A burning star whirling in an orbit of its own. Each today is yesterday's tomorrow, which is now. And now is all I have, in my dream, so quietly… 
Four new tracks on RIO, catalogue number 006.
Conducted, dreamed, in- and exhaled by Benedikt Frey and Tim Toh, featuring cosmic whisper and aerospace vocoder poetry by Lisa Toh, Tyler Pope, Lukas Diller and Niklas Wandt. Tripping music, dancing with organic Reprazent-break-infinity, saxophone melodies, Neu-Kraut-transcendence, nervous drones, gloomy bass figures, minimal pop and manic computer malfunctioning tones. All wrapped in a warm void of Melancholie, touching the eternal with murky gloves. Pointillist tunes, thoughtfully peculiar, seriously serious. Now is all they need. Now is all they want.
Now I dream of you so quietly.

PREMIERE | Benedikt Frey & Tim Toh - Angst (ft. Lukas Diller) [R.I.O.] 2021

Fringe Society makes an accomplished return to Wrong Era with his otherworldly album ‘The Art World’. We are invited into his delicately sculpted soundscape through abundantly transcendent tracks. 

With a rich, analogue welcome from ‘Mondo Dell’Arte’, ghostly vocals filled with tantalising longing accompany this appropriate entry point for the LP. The tight arpeggios are a perfect anchor for the magnetic, alluring vocal lines. Beautifully phased synthesis on ‘Alexithymia’ cries out across the crisp instrumentation. Cascading, dystopian tones are delivered throughout, and artful harmonic dissonance can be heard in ‘Venom In Spurts’. 'The Art World' is brimming with this trademark approach to vivid imagery and powerful rhythmic pacing. 

Intelligent odes to EBM and Proto House hit you on ‘Enigma Body Music'. Fizzing vocals and vast sound design add to this album’s fluidity. You cannot help but be stunned by the exciting, energetic twists and turns throughout this LP. The percussive work is unparalleled and creates an unstoppable drive across all tracks. 

‘Arthur Ave Rules' presents itself as a menacing peak-time triumph. The slicing, metallic motif swells and evolves throughout. A perfectly placed rimshot adds grounding to this sweltering track. The last section of the record leaves you yearning for more of the cinematic brilliance of ‘The Bird Perspektive’ and the percussive, chiming floor filler ‘Frederike’s Summer’. 

This release transports you to one of Fringe Society’s mesmerising live sets and a dimly lit Mullholand overlook. ‘The Art World’ embodies his consistently slick approach to production and breathtaking sonic atmospheres. A true force to be reckoned with.

Fringe Society - Alexithymia

Skalbiankė is a new independent music label based in Vilnius, Lithuania. With focus on the local underground music scene with some spot-on occasional international collaborators, the project is described by its curators as “an occasional brainwash”. The good kind of brainwashing, though, not the bad one, we are safe.

For its third instalment, a beautiful VA was compiled, featuring some fine young and promising local talents. Named after the most beautiful season of the year, the compilation delivers twelve cuts ranging from Acid Balearic to Electronica, from Electro to Techno, plus some other hard-to-pigeonholing themes.

“Ancient civilizations have long recognized the power of Spring: a season of renewal and rebirth. In fact, many of them started their year count from the spring equinox, a time when the world seemed to come alive after the brutal winter”, states de official description of the release.     

Premiered here, Phun Thomas’s contribution is definitely one of the highlights of the VA. His “Kites” fly high with its modular synth layers, mesmerising stabs, and dreamy pads. Just don’t think it is a soothing and serene piece – its gait is definitely frenzied and berserk, ready for peak-time appearances.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://skalbianke.bandcamp.com/

We've been noticing londoner producer Alex Keefe aka "Tagwell Woods" with its first release for Willie Burns "WT Records" more than two years ago. He's back on wax with a 6 tracker mini-LP on dutch label Photic Fields who released a 2015 highlight for us with The Submersible Machines "Waypoints". Tagwell Woods certainly draws a large panel of vintage sounds and "Chance" here premiered is a true piece of art, an emotional & deep acidic cut full of melancholy ! 300 copies already out, don't sleep

Bone Itch - Looking At Me (Original Mix)

In 2016, after reissuing two Bruce Haack albums, Haackula and Electric Lucifer Book II, Telephone Explosion began speaking with Ted Pandel (Bruce’s lifelong friend and business partner) about working on the 1970 masterpiece The Electric Lucifer. It turned out there was another matter that he wanted to discuss: finding a final resting place for the Bruce Haack archive.

We were shown test-pressings of The Electric Lucifer board mixes from his Columbia studio sessions, countless pieces of written music, a large number of personal photos, an invitation from Raymond Scott inviting Bruce to play his newly created Electronium instrument (now owned by Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh), poems, press clippings, and, most importantly, a heavy-duty shelf containing 213 reel-to-reel tapes. 

All of the chosen material on The Preservation Tapes is unreleased, and has only been heard by a handful of people. 

The Bruce Haack archive is now resting in the Provincial Archives of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
