GRAZE - "Skip/Crush"

http://www.delsinrecords.com/release.php?idxRelease=3797

Vril is still a relatively little known artist but already he has some great accolades to his name: He has released a couple of great EPs on Giegling sub label Staub, had a track on Marcel Fengler's Berghain mix, Dettmann's Conducted and now appears with the 103rd release on Delsin. What he serves up is three titanic techno tracks designed with maximum dancefloor damage in mind.

So big are these productions that we got a message back from that well known mastering company in germany. For some mystified causes some of our expensive equipment was crashing during the mastering session (!). They’ve been mastering records since over 20 years and that has never happened before like this.

The Vortekz EP starts with the title track and it's a dramatic bit of big room techno with nerve gangling chords and plenty of sonic grit. The dub version is slower and more purposeful and is buried in a much wider, deeper groove that snakes more than stomps. Finally comes 'y7/10', which rocks back and forth in the same rusted loop as percussion flutters like tin foil in a stormy wind. The track flows an ever-higher arc of tension that eventually erupts into a sea of analogue fuzz and hiccupping techno beats.

RAW MATERIAL

Commencing with a heavy, thumping bass and jittery hi-hats, as the title ‘Raw Material’ suggests one begins to feel that the track is of a more basic, rawer ilk. However it’s not long before warm, swirling synths interject adding a dose of more depth and dimension - intertwining effortlessly against the raw elements. Relentlessly building, the track culminates into an arresting crescendo with the synths going into overdrive and infiltrating the uncompromising bass. Like on this occasion sometimes less is more – time to get back to the raw…

'Bang!' is no-where as furious as it's name would suggest, in fact it's a slo-mo groover that incorporates soothing vocals from April and soft piano chords from the off. We have the Kings Of Tomorrow remix as a premiere and this ramps things up considerably.

This edit is more club-focused and uses big synths and rolling drops to woo and seduce the listener.

Snare 014 - ДИМА DISK

The people of Hamburg are associated with traits such as modesty and coolness. The same can be said about the music scene of Germany‘s second largest city: While there is a lot of buzz in the media about cre- atives being envious to the capital, the music scene, especially in the electronic fields, has been thriving here in the last few years. Hafendisko, the Hamburg based new sub label by hfn music, reknowned for their re- leases by Trentemøller and Kasper Bjørke, now puts an end to Hanseatic understatement: “hamburg elektronisch” is a new compilation series of awesome electronic beats from the river Elbe, the first installment focu- ses solely on House music. The 20 tracks of this download-only com- pilation, among which are three exclusives, not only feature old masters like DJ Koze and Lawrence, promising newcomers like Smallpeople und Wareika, but also showcase the most important melting pots of the Hamburg scene.
The new drive of the city is mostly accumulated in two spots: Smallville Records, the first of them, proves that the classic record store still can be of relevance, no matter how much discourse about releases and pro- ducers is now going on in digital networks. The store is small, but run with knowledge and passion. The people there not only curate their own Smallville parties all around the city, but also run an offspring store in Paris and several great labels: “Smallville” (featured here with tracks by Law- rence and Smallpeople), the vinyl-only imprint „Laid“ and, of course, „Dial Records“,the most-famous electronic label in Hamburg, because of its unique melancholic approach to techno music (check out Isolée on this compilation). On top of that, people who help there at the counter also run their labels like RvdS (whose “it’s”-platform is represented here with „A Walk On The Moon“) or book great parties like the “Dear” nights at the “Ego” club - the second epicentre in Hamburg at the moment.
With the “Ego” in the outskirts of the world famous Reeperbahn the city finally has a great techno club again, in addition to the „Baalsaal“ and „Neidklub“. Its owner Solomun also runs the booking agency and label “Diynamic” in the same building. The label already released nearly 50 records in quite a short time and thus is featured heavily here. Apart from Solomun check out Stimming, DJ Phono and H.O.S.H. The latter is also responsible for the ever-growing “Grünanlagen” Open Air parties who usually have an awesome line-up, although they are free.
Apart from other important concert venues like the „Uebel &amp; Gefähr- lich“ and all the nice bars of St. Pauli between the Reeperbahn and the Schanze quarter, at the end of the night the Hamburg scene still meets at the Golden Pudel Club at the harbour. Despite some difficulties it is still going strong and uncommercial after more then twenty years. Not only most of the artists mentioned before run parties here, but lots of the other labels in this collection as well like Liebe*Detail (Wareika, Lo- vebirds), Dérive (Christopher Rau) or Mirau (Tensnake). At the Pudel so many different people and music scenes engage in creative friction. This multitude of styles will be covered in future parts of this “Hamburg elektronisch” series that will also be released on CD. Cause hanseatic understatement is over.

LittleWhiteEarbuds Talking Shopcast- Smallpeople

Peter Zummo (1948) is a trombonist who has explored ensemble music at the border between classical chamber music and free-jazz. 

His first album, Zummo With An X (1981), was recorded in a trio with Arthur Russell on cello and Bill Ruyle on tabla, highlighted by two lengthy minimalist suites Instruments (for duo, trio and quartet) and Lateral Pass.

This is an 8 minute extract of the newly remastered Song IV which usually weighs in at just over 20 minutes.

This reissue will be available on vinyl (180gm) for the first time since 1985 in June 2012.

Mixtape vibes... strictly vinyl... no tracklisting unless you count the 10 mins of nonsense chat at the end between Gilles and Rob "Earl Zinger" Gallagher.

//
Après un 1er anniversaire mémorable avec Alice Russell, Alex Barck de Jazzanova, Lefto, Soulist, Rkk et la Mellotron team, GILLES PETERSON revient à ses fondamentaux.
Il se prêtera en effet à un exercice de style qu’il affectionne particulièrement mais qu’il fait rarement : un set marathon de 6h qui passera en revue 6 styles différents : 1 heure = 1 style. Un vrai tour du monde en 6 heures avec bien sur des inédits, unreleased, rares édits, découvertes.. l’occasion rêvée de réviser ses classiques, quelques semaines avant le Worldwide Festival.
