My Broken Frame - Black Lake (Vox Low remix)

Maestro is Tigersushi's latest discovery. After a debut 12inch and a 7inch released in 2012, the electrical duo composed of Mark Kerr (the Scottish “butcher” and lead singer) and Fred Soulard (the French “mad scientist”) just finished a full length debut LP, ready to stir a rather dull French Indie/Electro Pop scene with healthy doses of industrial weirdness and obsessive dance patterns. On the flip side, Krikor revives the spirits of Chris & Cosey and TG, the masters of Maestro in a dark S&M mix.

Format: Digital / 12”
Release Date Digital 20 April 2015

Tracklisting:
A: Think Twice
B: Serak

All tracks written and produced by Recondite.

Recondite - Think Twice EP
A long time friend of the label and an artist who needs no introduction, Recondite presents two unique techno narratives for his much anticipated first EP on Life and Death.

Up first and straight out the gate like the turning of the great Boethian wheel, Think Twice turns over and on top of itself again, like the march of time and the fortunes of paupers and princes alike. An ever advancing urgent reminder of the transitory nature of the eternal now, it graces us with her beauty and leaves us with a shaking sensation deep in our bones. 

On the B side, Serak begins with a bellowing bass emitted like a series of holotropic breaths from belly of Stanislav Grof himself. A sequence of sounds sent like a fishing line to the depths of the psyche, it returns with a portentous melody that winds and wanders until exploding midway thru the piece in a burst of restrained emotion.

Official lyrics:
I want to be something
I want to feel your heart
I want to never know you want me
I want to be something
I want to never be the one who lost

I need a cause so bad
I need a reason to be in this world
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I don't know what I like but I like what I know
But I know so little
All I know is from being alone

I wanna steal something
I wanna play your part
I wanna see you play my hand
I wanna steal something
I wanna know you got my birthday card

I need a cause so bad
I need a reason to be in this world
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I don't know what I like but I like what I know
But I know so little
All I know is from being alone

I want to be something
I want to feel your heart
I want to never know you want me
I want to be something
I want to never be the one who lost

I want to be something
I want to be something
I don't know what I like but I like what I know
But I know so little
All I know is from being alone

I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand

Turmoil In The Chaos System

Thomas Von Party & Thomass Jackson - Boneyard Fluteman

TOB053 Hardway Bros "Pleasure Cry" EP feat Tuff City Kids Remix

In stores digitally June 24 | Vinyl in stores June 10

In almost ten years of existence, Throne of Blood has cultivated a diverse family of musical talent spread across the Americas and Europe, refusing to settle into any particular sound or scene. Foremost among this crew of almost-impossible-to-pigeonhole producers is Dissident veteran Hardway Bros aka Sean Johnston, known to many as Andrew Weatherall’s partner in A Love From Outer Space.

His third EP for the label, “Pleasure Cry,” is characteristic of Sean’s style : a modern sound with sly winks to his rich history in electronic music.

The proceedings kick off with “Pleasure Cry”, an ode to submission featuring the exotic talents of vocalist Sarah Rebecca (formerly known as SR Krebs) anchored by a classic “Reece” bassline. Possibly not suitable for work but we suggest you blast it at the office to see what happens. The tune gets the remix treatment by Gerd Janson and Philip Lauer aka Tuff City Kids, piling on the pianos and cutting up the vocals in a very Saundersonian fashion.

“Argonaut” was originally written for an ALFOS gig on the Adriatic sea, and pays homage to the sounds of early 90’s Balearic house. It’s perfect for sunsets AND sunrises, we’ll let you pick which works best for you. The self explanatory titled “My PNO” is Sean’s take on piano house, steering clear of throwback clichés. Its hook, however, should have a similar arm raising effect on dancefloor revelers.

Saved139 comes from dynamic duo Tiefstone. 
For the "Odin EP" they deliver two unique tracks that command attention with their deep, energetic bass lines and hooky melodies which are layered with effective synths.
“Odin" and “Asyngur” are the perfect arsenal for all DJs.

The Scandinavian climate was brisk and fierce. In the northern parts of Sweden there was little sound to be heard as they stared up towards the mountainside. A tiny hut could be seen in the distance, a light flickering from a small fire ablaze outside. This was to be the place, the only musical landmark amidst the outback of the north. Acid would play, acid nord. 

Here is the latest release in celebration of five years of Power Plant Records. The release sees the likes of La Fleur and Acid Mondays contribute but it is the Knutsson/Berg track which we have chosen to feature.

PREMIERE: Knutsson/Berg - Acid Nord [Power Plant]

The crew had gathered amidst the sprawling estate. The smoke flourished high up above as it escaped from the heat of the grill. The smell of meat lingered in the air as the warm rays shone down upon them. Many beers would be drank this day, many memories shared. Music blasted from the boombox sat upon the grass. A barbeque skit played loud. 
Here is the latest EP to emerge from the Tartelet Records camp. It sees Kickflip Mike and Julius Conrad deliver a four track EP built for the summer.

PREMIERE: Kickflip Mike & Julius Conrad - BBQ Skit [Tartelet Records]

The secrets of the crypt would stand the test of time. The sirens called from the cliffy peaks up above as the waves crashed against the rock face. Boats would pass upon the murky waters but none would manage to charter the stormy seas. They would not get near, not now, not ever. Nobody would find the sirens crypt. Nobody. 
Released on Emerald & Doreen, Freudenthal unveils 'Sirens Crypt' featuring Kike and a Damon Jee remix. It is the Damon Jee remix which we are elighted to be able to share.

PREMIERE: Freudenthal - Sirens Crypt feat. Kike (Damon Jee Remix)[Emerald & Doreen]

To be released with the "Moon Faze III EP" via Multi Culti on June 4th

Rodion & Local Suicide - Owl & Wizzle feat. Mz Sunday Luv

He lay awake, tossing, turning. His mind was a chaotic blur of wonder and imagination. Never in his wild wild dreams had he experienced such obsessive fascination and experimentation. His mind was no longer his own and he was caught somewhere between sleep and death. The world which he wandered through was exciting and new, bizarre and full of enchanting creativity. Endless possibility and opportunity existed all around this strange landscape. Nothing was the same. 
It is exciting to be able to reveal the Adesse Versions remix of Dj Duke's Pleasure Dome project. He steps up to deliver a fast paced cut with lush padded stabs. 

PREMIERE: DJ Duke's Pleasure Dome - Wild Dreams (Adesse Versions Remix) [Minneapolis Exchange]

The clouds parted and the sun shone through from the skies above. He looked to the heavens up above and waved his hands in joy, somewhere, way out there, he had been granted by salvation by the powers which lay beyond our wildest dreams. He would have to count his lucky stars and pray for forgiveness. He was blessed, and he would walk the earth again once more. Salvation had come. 

Here is the latest release from The Body Language camp which comes from the land on the other side. The Australian based label offers up a two track EP from Leo James.

PREMIERE: Leo James - Salvation (part 2)[Body Language]

Deep textures and rich melodies feature strongly in this remix from @chaos-in-the-cbd of fellow New Zealanders @sorceressmusic.

Dance On (feat Jesse Boykins III)

Les hommes Parisiens Vox Low return on Evrlst with another black & white homage to some of England's finest post-punk, kicking off with a Joy Division intro then slowing down like some gothic Can rekkid. Full of behind-the-guitar-neck click strums, toms from Morris and, then, that always running away bassline that makes you realise this is actually a fucking dance record! Take me back to my teenage disco, just somewhere more glamorous than Runcorn please.
