PREMIERE | Black Bones - B.E.E.F [Duca Bianco] 2023

He was stood on the corner by himself, minding his business as the traffic went swiftly on by. He didn’t have anywhere to go that day so it seemed right and fit to set up shop on the corner with little else but the shoes on his feet and the bang of a drum which echoed from a dusty old speaker that he’d brought alongside.

He took a sip of his drink, lit up a cigarette and began to shuffle slowly in time with the drums. He’d come here quite often, from time to time folk might come watch before they began hustling and bustling on again with their days. He cared little if they stared or not.

This was is happy place and as the music began to grow louder so too did his pace. This was the Sanskrit Body Rock and that’s what he’d give em’.

Marcellus Pittman is set to release a new EP on Acid Test – a raucous record which aligns perfectly with the rough and ready sensibilities best associated with the House music of Detroit and Marcellus’ own roots. This one bumps loud in the club and Marcellus Pittman’s music fits well alongside the heritage of Acid Test as a record label.

Finally this moment has come. Our very own Jokios Kulturos delivers his debut album. There’s been much gossip and speculation about his music preferences. The link between his pseudonym and his music selections is clear and this album is a perfect manifestation of him through the sounds and vibes. "ALL IS ONE" is not only music. It is storytelling. It is a journey through the mind and musical tastes of Dovydas. This release unites so many genres in one coherent whole. Take a deep breath and enjoy! All IS ONE!

“Superbrains'' is a showcase for the Berlin-based, inclusive music project Ick Mach Welle, an initiative which has been bringing together musicians, with and without visible disabilities, for the last 5 years. Featuring solo artists and musical collaborations with very different approaches to creating music, this compilation highlights the results of the workshops and mentoring programs provided by Ick Mach Welle throughout these years. The tracks featured on this release range across the musical spectrum from the wildly experimental, to dub and electronica, to driving techno and rave, reflecting the diversity of the participants and the inclusivity of the Ick Mach Welle project. The emotions revealed through the music contained herein provide the listener with an insight into the lives of the people who created them, people whose voices far too often go unheard. The artwork comes from Brussels artist Elzo Durt, who has provided Killekill with his psychedelic collages several times in recent years.

The air in the city was thick with smoke and ash, and the buildings were grey and towering. The streets were filled with people, all walking with their heads down and their faces covered. It was a dystopian world, where hope was rare and joy was even rarer. But on this foggy night, there was a glimmer of something different. The people had heard whispers of a firework display, something that hadn't been seen in the city for years. The display would be a celebration of hope, a chance to consign the bleakness of their lives to oblivion and momentarily revel in something beautiful.

As the sun set and the fog rolled in, people started to gather in the streets. They were cautious at first, not sure if the rumours were true. But then, they saw the first burst of colour in the sky, and they knew it was real. The fireworks were breathtaking. They exploded in the sky, sending showers of sparks raining down on the city. The colours were bright and bold, and for a moment, the people forgot about the darkness that surrounded them.

Edinburgh experimental composer Jordan Russell-Hall, aka Jordan Stanley, makes his debut on Bytes with his exceptional second album, A Cry For The Moon. There are shades of his Scottish contemporaries Hudson Mohawke and Rustie in these colourful experiments in microsampling. Like a magpie snaffling shiny objects for its nest, Jordan has procured samples from all corners of the electronic and pop music realm - from Charli XCX and Mr Mitch to Ariana Grande and Jimmy Edgar - to help form a vivid sound palette of vibrant synths, frenetic Jersey Club-influenced rhythms and lush ambience.

PREMIERE: Jordan Stanley - Impossible [Bytes]

Gegenwelt (Parallel World) is the second LP by CEL, a duo Kubin and Zemler formed. More melodically-evolved than their eponymous 2020 debut, it is an even more explicit example of the syncretic impulse that impelled these guys to form the band. Their basic notion was to explore the juncture between two streams of German underground sounds -- the Motorik 4/4 rhythms first posited by Can's Jaki Liebezeit and Kraftwerk's Klaus Dinger, and the sequencer-driven brain loops of early, experimental pioneers of the NDW, such as der Plan.

Tracklist:

01. Tokamak
02. Rompecristales
03. Eiweißangriff
04. Gegenwelt
05. Trippeltanz
06. Flucht zum Mars
07. Geometrischer Glanz
08. Transformator Matki Polki

PREMIERE: CEL (Felix Kubin & Hubert Zemler) - Trippeltanz [Bureau B]

What initially began as a weekend break had snowballed into a three month extended stay and a whole new world of unforgettable experiences and close friendships. She couldn't put her finger on what exactly drew her to this place, made her not want to leave and return to her old boring life, it was more a feeling than something you could put into words. It felt like home here, it was as simple as that. 

Following a full long player on his own bORDEL imprint last year, Sebastien Chenut returns under his NEWEM guide for a brand new track featuring the vocal stylings of Prudence. The French producer, who also makes up one half of Scratch Massive alongside fellow bORDEL boss Maud Geffray, fashions an indie dance cut that's packed with emotion and cosmic touches, before passing the mantle to a roster of his contemporaries who put their own spin on the original. There's two reworks from the partnership of DJ Heidi Lawden and producer Hein Hoven under the moniker Heidi Höven, a trippy, crunchy dub from Dave Aju, a celestial remix from Blaacon, rounded off with a retro take from Glasgow’s Soft Riot.

Aurora Night - Frozen Eyes

Balance breathes through all creation, neither rising nor falling, simply existing in an infinite rhythm. Each press folds into its reflection, each contrast finds its twin. Beyond the turbulence and stillness, consciousness floats in perfect balance, oblivious to time or desire. Within this infinite symmetry, serenity is revealed not as an escape, but as the silent realization that nothing really moves.

Echo Prism

A deep techno piece where the harp paints surreal dreams in shimmering waves.
