„One day I was on a visit sitting in his kitchen and when we decided to change to the sofa in the music room, his girlfriend proposed to listen to these old recordings, as maybe I would be weird enough to like them. „Recorded in my homestudio, low budget style with a cheap microphone, a sampler, drum machines, vinyl and a few borrowed synths. … A commitment to the funk, a raw analogue sound and also a dedication to black music and its architects.“ the artist comments on it.
I immediately dug the rather short demos a lot. As I had to swallow the information that there never were real plans to release them, I later decided on the bus home, I just had to puke out a „label“. Soon I asked him to extend some of the songs and let me do some mixing and here is the album.“ Cid Hohner

Pieter Kock aka DJ Peacock is founder of Berlin’s bar/micro-club OTannenbaum. With his long player 'Planet of the Superapes' he serves up an album full of "poly-rhythmic collages, hovering ostinatos and explosions." A warm, inviting yet alienating record Planet of the Superapes is a 'soundtrack of now'.

The Phillipines chapter of the album "strings and weightless vocals telling of hope and loneliness.

Pieter Kock – Planet of the Superapes is Out Shortly on MoonwalkX Records. 300 pressed. Pre Order here: https://moonwalkx.bandcamp.com/merch/pieter-kock-planet-of-the-superapes-lp

Planet Of The Superapes

Phillipines

PREMIERE: Pieter Kock – Phillipines [MoonwalkX Records]

London-based electronic artist elshuffles is making a return; releasing his second album who bang the noise.
The album follows 2021&#39;s Disinformation Party, and while his debut was a collage made up from a few years of exploring different instruments and sounds, who bang the noise takes a different direction, depicting the melting-pot nature of London life across influences from techno, ambient, drone and electronica.
From the dawning ambient splendour of album opener fading poetry you’re immediately drawn into elshuffles deeply atmospheric vision. And though the tone shifts from light to dark multiple times over the course of its running time, that attention to mood and atmosphere remains in sharp focus.
Lead single months of electronic dreams represents the more straightforwardly optimistic tones, with its bright breakbeat and soft, billowing melodies, while the similarly structured but tonally opposed (busy) livin creates a darkly paranoid climate via chopped vocals and eerie, crackling pads.
Elsewhere, the haunting 4/4 pulse of lost for a while transports you to a dark basement rave, while tracks like them and uok demonstrate elshuffles painstaking attention to detail and love for the cinematic qualities of drone.
&quot;I wanted the second album to represent London, its streets and its people; what we see and don’t see, whether we choose to or not. I tested the album by travelling around London on public transport. Not with any prerequisites, just to work out how it fitted with the city. Part of putting my headphones on and making this album has been a way to escape but remain creative. That was my main target.” elshuffles

Listening to the album you feel tones of the ambient works of pioneers such as Eno and Budd, which quickly switch to much fatter dancefloor beats, juxtaposing moods

No guest list blaggers, no bullshitters, just heavy hitters as we return to the realms of the Edgy Future Discotheque where vibes are a plenty and there's not a phone on the dance floor in sight! 7 slick as heck cuts from some of our nearest & dearest music making friends make up our 5th entry to the series and its grade A yessmate action right from the off.go for a disco belly toilet visit, strap yourself in & prepare for blast off!
Our fave washed up super here Flash Atkins goes horizontal on Mistpoffer and ramps up the mushroom brew intake through its psychedelic haze of afro style percussion, soaring pads and (for added Balearic-ness) some serious late 80's white isle sax.yep we're being serious and its mega! Daco turns in a full on Italo style makeover version, which slaps a bit harder then the OG and sounds like Moroder smoked a warp 10 strength doobie.fab!
