The cracks were beginning to show; it was nigh on impossible to keep her face from telling the whole story. She'd had a good run, but she knew that it wouldn't be long before she'd give it away, and all the lies and deceipt that had kept this at bay would soon unravel for the entire world to see. Would it have been worth it? A question she couldn't quite answer, but she'd soon find out...

Munich-based platform Alternative Fakten are dedicated to putting the city's underground music and arts scene on the map, be that through club nights, live shows, panel talks, art exhibitions, or releases — like the one we've got for you right here. Like their first label outing, the second is another compilation celebrating artists within the city, though this time, they highlight a wealth of contemporary electronic producers who are operating in the spaces between the city's artworld, activist groups and club culture, including Fuel Moon, WLAN and label bosses Tom Zwotausend & Bartoszek.

PREMIERE: Fuel Moon - Love Like Spaceship [Alternative Fakten]

Our next release is a family affair involving two artists who previously released on Samo Records. Tassilo Vanhöfen (@eshu-est), who was featured on our “Spiral” compilation, delivers a hypnotic EP with four 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. 

“Arcadia Ego” is out digitally on May 7.

2. Tassilo Vanhöfen - Laterna Magica
3. Tassilo Vanhöfen - Wild Magic Dance

Midi fanfare orchestrator Novo Line is back on Protofuture with a blazing 12”. His album “Racconti” (a concept-album on cassette) gets reinterpreted by the artist’s confrères Eva Geist, Dama, Wilted Woman, Tyler Pope and Elena Colombi, one year after its original release.

Cosmic/electro/dub meets synthetic, pulsing patterns inspired by Novo Line's disorienting yet danceable polyrhythms in this varicolored E.P, which journeys across late night and early morning sounds.

Kindly mastered by Analogcut in Berlin, the music sees the contribution of Protofuture’s inmates Dj Fett Burger, Trent and Telephones on mixing and live percussion duties.

A1 Novo Line - La Birretta (Eva Geist Remix)
A2 Novo Line - Copertone (Make Dub) Remixed by Dama
A3 Novo Line - Copertone (Wilted Woman Remix)

STARE (D3ADSTAR3 final version)

The streets were paved with gold, a secluded seaside town where dreams were made and those who'd failed came to retire into the sunset. They sat upon street corners, in parks and upon the shore looking out on the tourists and the faces who came and went with no attachment to this place. It was not their legacy just a passing place, yet to some it was home. A lonely retreat in the outback of a country on the brink. It was beautiful. 

Abstrakce Records are a label based in Valencia, an imprint with a penchant for the experimental and come from a far collection of influences. They are set to release a new LP from Senthulà, am alias of José Guerrero. The album is a collection of wild expansive instrumental escapes and pays homage to diy culture. It also features a remix from Tolouse Low Trax.

Flippen Disks follows up their much acclaimed label-debut with an intriguing second release by Yuto Takei named “Bells From The East EP”.
Yuto Takei’s first vinyl release displays a wide array of sounds with a particular interest in rhythmic experiments and the negotiation of sonic space.

The Tokyo-based producer and DJ takes the listener onto a trip through deep spheres, percussive workouts, jammy compositions and electronic psychedelia, leaving the listener at times startled as to whether it is humans that are manipulating machines, or vice-versa.

Having worked as an electronic music composer for video games such as Gran Tourismo, this uncanny valley is known territory for the artist. It is, however, further explored on this four tracker, staying true to Flippen Disks paradigm of releasing club-oriented music, non-functional enough to not only be danced but also listened to.

Title track Bells From The East is an 8 minute jam, in which a krauty psych attitude pairs up perfectly with the goofy lead melody.
