LCG K'record 001 _ 2019

Correspondants 28th release, Polina, delivers another brooding, evocative EP for the label, this time from the Agents of Time polyhedron: a fusion of ideas and concepts that make up a single reality. The Italian trio of Andrea Di Ceglie, Fedele Ladisa, and Luigi Tutolo came together in the summer of 2013, and their inaugural album was released via Stem Records in January of the following year. The group uses both analog and digital equipment to refine their unique amalgam of progressive, techno, and ambient music.

Polina (Original Mix)

2015 will see German techno mainstay Stephan Bodzin ready to unleash his next full-length musical vision on the world. Entitled “Powers of Ten”, the 10-track album will land in June 2015 on his own Herzblut Recordings and provides another great insight into the melodically rich muscle mind of this modern great.
Says Stephan Bodzin of the LP: “Powers of Ten has been with me all my life and is named after a book that has been my background hiss, its confusing truth is my only real faith and its infinity shows me its finiteness. The album is about harmonies, melodies, rhythms. It is an homage to Bob Moog, full of techno beats and sounds and space and party and ecstasy and dancing and listening, and crying and feeling. It is a journey, a philosophy of life, a view of the world, a vague perception. It is my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my passion, my enemy, my greatest fulfillment, my fear, my deepest peace, my power, all my love.”
As such, this album is hugely personal and is filled with cerebral messages and well thought out concepts. All this shines through and makes it an all the more engaging listen from start to finish. Kicking off with the spine tingling chords and louche beats of ‘Singularity’ cuts like ‘Lila’ then continue to confirm that Stephan Bodzin has a classical understanding of melody that is way beyond your average.
‘Blue Giant’, ‘Wir’ and ‘Ix’ all manage to be uplifting and thoughtful at the same time as driven and groovy, whilst ‘Birth’ comes on with a hymnal high note, long tailed pads and subtly shifting beats. The ghostly grooves of ‘Zulu’ mark a majestic mid point to the album, which then continues to seduce with spiritual synths and more beautiful melodies on cuts like ‘Odyssee’ as well as the album’s standout title track.
Unfolding coherently and in soothing fashion, this album once again proves that few producers in the modern world have a knack for melody and an ear for sonic ingenuity quite like Stephan Bodzin.

MadTech finish up the year with its ‘Winter Sampler 2018’ compilation including eight exclusive tracks from Josh Butler, Mia Dora, Dirty Secretz, Garry Todd and more.

After yet another successful year for the MadTech imprint following releases from the likes of Tough Love, Cera Alba, Devstar and more, they close out 2018 with their annual winter compilation through a collection of dancefloor focussed tracks from some of house music’s most exciting names.

Dirty Secretz ‘I See You’ kicks things off with garage tinged percussion, infectious vocals and pulsating low end before Javi Bora, Iban Montoro and Jazzman Wax’s ‘Da Groove’ delivers enticing bass grooves balanced with clattering kicks and highs. Origins Rcrds’ Josh Butler then offers up an energetic roller through shuffling drums and hip hop vocal samples whilst Roog’s ‘Bubble Push’ is filled with hypnotic pads, tasteful vocals and winding synth movements which then follows suit in Relativ’s ‘Lean Back’.

London’s Garry Todd’s ‘Take Me Higher (Vocal Mix)’ delivers a stripped back lo-fi beat balanced with alluring synth waves and a smooth vocal line until Clock’s ‘Magnitude’ displays wonderfully balanced hypnotic textures through meditative dubbed out flutters and a deep bassline. The Glasgow duo Mia Dora then finish things off with ‘Myth’ through minimal aesthetics, a tension building lead line and Let The Machines Do The Work’s uplifting singing.

Madtech welcome Ray Mono, Kreutziger, Devv and Azteca to the label in late May to mark the latest in their self-titled Various Artist series.

A staple name for many within the industry, Madtech Record’s evolution since its formation back in 2012 as a sister label to the legendary Madhouse has seen the label welcome a host of top tier names to its catalogue whilst also helping to establish a number of those artists at the beginning of their careers. Having recently welcomed Cologne native DJOKO to deliver his impressive ‘Alpha Centauri’ EP in March, the Madtech Records camp look to keep things moving here with fresh new V/A installment in their self-titled series as they reveal fresh cuts from four of the genres most exciting up-and-coming talents.

Liverpool based artist Ray Mono kicks things of with the snaking and shuffling ‘Dissonance Theory’ as loose, rolling polyrhythms work alongside a warm bassline, before handing over to Amsterdam duo Kreutziger who employ dubby chords, punchy kicks and crisp hats throughout ‘After Midnight’. Next, Canadian talent Devv’s ‘What’s So Different’ takes the energy up a notch, fusing skipping percussion beneath resonant chord and pad swells, before handing over to Romanian DJ / producer Azteca as he closes out the package with a restrained, smooth blend of bumping sub-bass and well worked drum arrangements.

Devv - What's So Different

Okain is a master of house music , the universally respected french artist is the up next on Ben Rau's META Imprint under his brand new alias House of Kain.
The A-side Throwback is a rolling house track with a rumbling mpc groove that references the sounds of late 90's tech house updated for today's dancefloors , the B-side Time Factor rounds up the package perfectly with a glitchy dubbier feel  
META continues its  run of churning out high quality dancefloor weapons with House of Kain's debut release.

Release Info: 
As our 250th release, we return with the seventh instalment of the beloved “Stil vor Talent Berlin” compilation series, which brings forth a group of old and new faces, who exclusively contributed unreleased tracks, gathered under the umbrella of one of Berlin's prime summer hangout spots. 

South of Kotti, the modest Admiralbrücke bridges the hustle and bustle of Kreuzberg with the idyllic Graefekiez beyond, transforming those few meters across the Landwehrkanal into an epicentre of casual canal beers, shared slices of pizza and mellow tunes from a wild array of buskers during the warmer months of the year. Spring has arrived – sit back, relax, and let life float by!
