Loveland Recordings debut with a beautiful double vinyl consisting of seven exclusive tracks to celebrate 20 years of Loveland. Each and every producer on the record has been important to Loveland during the past two decades. But they have also significantly helped shape the current landscape of electronic music as we know it. The strong track list consists of music from Anthony Rother, Aril Brikha, Arjuna Schiks, Dosem, Egbert, Mathew Jonson and Vince Watson.

Title: The Deluge (The Denouement)

Release Date: August 7, 2015

Cascade and The Deluge are variations on the latest tape-loop and delay composition from the inimitable William Basinski. Cascade is the CD/Digital variant, and The Deluge is the deluxe 180 gram white vinyl LP companion. In Cascade, a single ancient lilting piano tape loop repeats endlessly carrying one along in its tessellating current. In The Deluge, the same loop is processed through a series of feedback loops of different lengths, creating a spiraling crescendo of overtones that eventually fades away to silence. In the denouement, a series of limpid piano loops leads to an urgent orchestral theme that builds and gradually dies.

William Basinski - The Deluge (The Denouement)

OUT 21.12.2015

The new Luca Bacchetti EP, Genesis, comes out on ENDLESS right on the cusp between 
the Old and New Year. Once again Luca divests himself of all preconceived ideas, taking 
the project into 4 separate directions, 4 different soundscapes; but maintaining as underlying common denominators the attention to detail that has always distinguished his productions
and his unmistakable groove, the poetic dimension and narrative ability always manages
to reach its peak in the breaks.

Yes, because Luca always takes sound snapshots, sounds that become images, stories
that arise from the imagery as always linked to travel and that continues to inspire the Italian
DJ and producer: so passionate, deep, never cold. From the African hints in Above the Line
to the melodies of the title track, Genesis, bringing us back with its atmosphere to the Middle
East. Anaconda could be a journey into the darkness of space, while Fireflies and Crickets
written with The Box (Trio) brings us back to a bucolic dimension we experienced as children.
The EP will be released both on vinyl and as a two part digital release.

Over Christmas 2014 I needed a break from recording
my album, searching online for a song I recalled from
my youth, I fell into a rabbit hole of thousands of
YouTube playlists and posts, rediscovering the songs
my friends and I would gather and listen to as
13 & 14 yr olds every Saturday in East Berlin on Radio DT64
(now Berlin's Radio Fritz).

I stumbled back to the future, collecting over 5000 songs
on YouTube, learning for the first time the artists behind
the songs we heard almost 25 years ago.

The forthcoming trilogy is the result of 18 month
of building edits from YouTube recordings and stitching
them together off-line. I could not include every song,
nor indeed even the entire tracks from this small period
until 1993, so this is my personal history of electronic
music arriving in Berlin.

This trilogy will not be sold, it was a labor of love,
born of nostalgia and made for sharing.

Paul Kalkbrenner: Back To The Future - Part 2

Artist: Night Talk
Title: Hours EP
Label: Definition:Music
Release Catalogue: DMU056
Format: Digital
Releasedate: 08. August 2016
Genre: Deep House
Web: www.definitionmusic.ch

1) Night Talk - Drowning
2) Night Talk - Golden Hour
3) Night Talk - Blue Hour

 Night Talk whips up a deep and dusty mood with his latest EP on Definition:Music. Enter the Hours EP; A 3 track adventure through some of the darkest corners of the night. 'Drowning' starts us off chugging along with the tensions slowly rising as the synths play their game among the shadows. Soon enough, Night Talk shows us what 'Drowning' is all about, captivating in its simplicity and elegant in its execution. 'Blue Hour' turns the dials a bit further, adding a new level of hustle with a bit more drama in the mix. Still deep, still dark, and still very ripe for the dancefloor. Coming up on the 'Golden Hour' now, Night Talk lets things relax, but only just the track still has enough swing in it to keep a floor packed, but with a bit more warmth and less tension than its more epic siblings.

Just Her – Follow You Down [PREVIEW]

Kirk Degiorgio Boiler Room London DJ Set

Randomer Boiler Room London DJ Set

We have the exclusive Premiere for the new Franz Alice Stern track on Third Son's label - Polymath

Early support from Kolsch, Nick Warren, Human Machine, Soul Button, AFFKT, Marc DePulse, Jonas Saalbach, Gabriel Ananda, Quivver, Henry Saiz, Ramon Tapia, Tim Engelhardt

A transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self. Our next excursion brings us to the idea of ‘Nirvana’. Self described as psychedelic techno, Franz Alice Stern leads the release with a trance-like, meditative track. The powerful bass-drum maintains energy, while contrasting pads and arpeggios add a reflective mood. 

Miss Melera makes her Polymath debut with a deep and melancholic trip. With important releases on Chapter 24 Records, and Berlin’s Traum Schallplatten, we felt Nirvana was a fitting theme for the artist. As uplifting as it is dark, the track builds momentum through an infectious groove. A break makes space for new musical ideas, until a final climax ends in a melodic release. 

Marseille duo, Fathers, take a different approach. Organic instruments feature in this compelling piece, led by bass guitar. Gentle melodies flitter in and out of the ear adding to the refreshing mood.

Franz Alice Stern - Nirvana [Polymath] Exclusive Premiere

The journey was awfully long. She watched the flickering lights pass by with a flash as the car moved purposefully along the motorway. In the distance she could see the towering presence of flats in the distance, they were nearing the city now. She had supposedly been taken here as a child but for the life of her she could not remember the visit. Now, some twenty years later she would return to the city to begin a new life. She leant into the warm leather interior of the car, sinking back and fell asleep.

Metropolitan Soul Museum feature as part of a new split EP in the Toy Tonics series. They deliver a smooth house cut alongside tracks from Black Loops and Jad & The...

PREMIERE: Metropolitan Soul Museum - Saaab [Toy Tonics]

Deep beneath the encrypted layers of security lay elusive material. These were the most restricted of folders under which only government access could allow entry. The state of the nation was left in a delicate balance based upon the content contained within. These were perilous times and the tension hung ominously in the air. 

Bauhaus is a newly formed record label from tel Aviv. The tracks have received early support from an array of big circuit dj's including Motor City Drum Ensemble who featured the following track back on his Worldwide FM show in June.

PREMIERE: PRZ Feat. Jerome C - XXX Files [Bauhaus]

The race started quickly on the sound of the gunshot. The orange polyurethane on which he ran had never looked so beautiful as his feet moved quickly back and forth. In the distance he observed his comrade readying himself to sprint off into the distance, for this was a relay and not for one man to win. The team had been training for years for this moment and the roar of the crowd was almost overwhelming. Never had they expected they would get this far. 

Factory Floor are remixed on the "2525+5" EP. Alongside two original tracks Charles Manier, Jlin and Klara Lewis have been recruited to provide alternate versions.

2525+5

PREMIERE: Factory Floor - Relay (Charles Manier Remix)[DFA]

She licked her lips provocatively as she stared him up and down. In the distance there was music playing but the pair cared not for such ambience beneath the glow of the moonlight. Before them the waves rolled gracefully upon the dusty sand, the palm trees blowing delicately in the warm air. The sky was a bitter shade of black, the stars faintly visible behind the gloomy clouds. This was not some sort of peaceful paradise but a stormy romance on an island lost. 

Smagghe & Cross return following recent releases on Offen Music and our own Ransom Note Records imprint. The pair deliver an intriguing EP for Glasgow based record label Huntleys & Palmers.

BLTRS06

PREMIERE: Smagghe & Cross - MMMMMMM [Huntleys & Palmers]

The gang were eager with anticipation. They hung in the car park behind the back of the shopping mall, sat perched upon trolleys and dirt. Cars stayed well clear of the patch, they knew that if they were to cross paths with 'la cosa nostra' then they may well live to regret it. The leader of the pack, a tall tanned gentleman stood several feet away chain smoking cigarettes whilst surveying what lay before. 

Aa3 have just released 'Eradicate Ex Machina' on USB. Starving Poet is the artistic project of New York-based Rose Knapp. Listen to a remix of "La Cosa Nostra" by RN500.

PREMIERE: Starving Poet - La Cosa Nostra (RN500's Waste Management Mix)[Aa3 Corp]

The high waves rolled as if they were a great power approaching battle. They crushed fiercely against the rocky face which looked out upon the wild, raging sea. In the distance boats could be seen bopping about above the hideous water, they were not safe out there yet the perilous nature of the job demanded their presence upon the wicked ocean. She prayed that they might return later that night to celebrate the catch but for now she was not hopeful. 

Hekkla releases on Goldbrick as he picks up from where he left off on AM last year. He delivers an intriguing release packed with twists and turns, a playful take on house.

PREMIERE: Hekkla - Lichtstad [Goldbrick]
