“Superbrains'' is a showcase for the Berlin-based, inclusive music project Ick Mach Welle, an initiative which has been bringing together musicians, with and without visible disabilities, for the last 5 years. Featuring solo artists and musical collaborations with very different approaches to creating music, this compilation highlights the results of the workshops and mentoring programs provided by Ick Mach Welle throughout these years. The tracks featured on this release range across the musical spectrum from the wildly experimental, to dub and electronica, to driving techno and rave, reflecting the diversity of the participants and the inclusivity of the Ick Mach Welle project. The emotions revealed through the music contained herein provide the listener with an insight into the lives of the people who created them, people whose voices far too often go unheard. The artwork comes from Brussels artist Elzo Durt, who has provided Killekill with his psychedelic collages several times in recent years.

Gegenwelt (Parallel World) is the second LP by CEL, a duo Kubin and Zemler formed. More melodically-evolved than their eponymous 2020 debut, it is an even more explicit example of the syncretic impulse that impelled these guys to form the band. Their basic notion was to explore the juncture between two streams of German underground sounds -- the Motorik 4/4 rhythms first posited by Can's Jaki Liebezeit and Kraftwerk's Klaus Dinger, and the sequencer-driven brain loops of early, experimental pioneers of the NDW, such as der Plan.

Tracklist:

01. Tokamak
02. Rompecristales
03. Eiweißangriff
04. Gegenwelt
05. Trippeltanz
06. Flucht zum Mars
07. Geometrischer Glanz

Trippeltanz

PREMIERE: CEL (Felix Kubin & Hubert Zemler) - Trippeltanz [Bureau B]

The energy in the room changed in a split second. If only she'd could have kept her mouth shut; hadn't "unintentionally" left a path of destruction for others to clean up - the day ahead would have panned out very differently. Shock had turned to sadness which quickly morphed into anger, making for a potent cocktail of self-destruction... Was that her endgame all along? To drive them to a state of despair, to bring about their downfall and paint herself as a martyr for speaking up in the first place? Surely not, anyone with even an ounce of empathy could only feel awful now...

Nukuluk are back with their singular blend of hip hop, indie and electronica. The South London collective burst onto the scene with their debut EP Disaster Pop in 2021, followed by a run of gigs across London, which were an introduction to both their melting pot of influences and their infectious stage presence. Superglue is their sophomore offering, and it sees the group really finding their stride sonically and pushing the sound further into new realms. There's nods to everything from trip hop, metal and rock to hip hop, dance music and r'n'b, matched with frontmen Syd and Monika's contrasting yet seemingly compatible vocal stylings. 

The track itself ruminates on how we play different characters based on the social environments we're in and how these can change dependent on the circumstances of the situation. The track comes with a video recorded in black & white VHS-style by filmmaker Will Reid which takes a spontaneous approach, showing the band reacting and responding to the track without any prior planning.

PREMIERE: Nukuluk - Feel Awful Now

We were young and innocent. Our problems were somehow trivial. We didn't know yet that weekend would change everything, particularly me. Then I experienced the biggest hell. Although I had the best ones fighting to get me out of there. Only music managed to silence the demons.

"You will shine" is a concept album about those dark years. The songs shape the story of what we lived through then. I thank all the people who helped me and stood by me.

You will shine; those dark years

Electroacoustic duo JESSE and their extended collective is making a comeback of some sorts. Having been integral part of Finnish electronic music community for 15 years now, they are releasing a new album called Descend. Produced by the band together with Berliner DJ Sotofett, the record is a voyage to the depths of microcosmos of our minds. Warm and fuzzy grooves bending into a mindmelting buzz of swampy ambient. JESSE has always been a group that is musically on a constant search and mutation, Descend is a record that once more defines their edge and can be seen as a follow up to their 2017 record Twotinos (released on Keys Of Life).

PREMIERE: Infinite Monkey Theorem - Dripthongs [Gradient Descent]

What initially began as a weekend break had snowballed into a three month extended stay and a whole new world of unforgettable experiences and close friendships. She couldn't put her finger on what exactly drew her to this place, made her not want to leave and return to her old boring life, it was more a feeling than something you could put into words. It felt like home here, it was as simple as that. 

Following a full long player on his own bORDEL imprint last year, Sebastien Chenut returns under his NEWEM guide for a brand new track featuring the vocal stylings of Prudence. The French producer, who also makes up one half of Scratch Massive alongside fellow bORDEL boss Maud Geffray, fashions an indie dance cut that's packed with emotion and cosmic touches, before passing the mantle to a roster of his contemporaries who put their own spin on the original. There's two reworks from the partnership of DJ Heidi Lawden and producer Hein Hoven under the moniker Heidi Höven, a trippy, crunchy dub from Dave Aju, a celestial remix from Blaacon, rounded off with a retro take from Glasgow’s Soft Riot.

Well, this one certainly won't be a very consensual release, but since we believe life shouldn't be taken too seriously, here it goes. Making its third release of 2023, Extended Records presents the Single “Parabéns Sara!” by Ângelo Selvagem!

The song originated from the idea of offering a birthday present to a friend: Sara (born 27 Nov. 1991). Contacting a mutual friend, who enjoys and knows how to sing (Marta), a musical partnership was proposed. Together they started to write loose stuff... Meanwhile, to a sample of a kizomba beat she added a 4 chord progression: Am7 – BbM7 – Bm7 – BbM7 with an electric piano, very common in the 80s, the DX7. To this were added some strings and a bass line, all from VST's. In the rap part, the drums switch to a more aggressive beat with half the tempo and the electric piano line and the strings are removed to make the harmonic part of the song less defined. The only instrument that was recorded was the voice. The song came about quite spontaneously as it was thought to be written and produced in just two days (that was the time they had left for Sara's return to Portugal).
The idea of the song would be that of a love letter written by Biscoito (Sara's cat) who, seeing himself abandoned by her, on the weekend of her birthday when the owner would have gone to Milan to be with her boyfriend (Capela), writes her a letter congratulating her, while confessing his feelings for her. Meanwhile, Estrelinha, interrupts and continues the said "letter" in rap mode...

The single here presented contains the original version, as well as a shorter version, edited for the highly unlikely eventuality of having some radio play, and is accompanied by 3 remixes by artists from the label: Diogo, Rabu Mazda and DJ Shperma.

Tel Aviv-based producer, vocalist and live performer May Lavie joins the Human Endeavour Records family for its fourth release, ‘Are You Having A Good Day?’ 

The four tracks are a window into May’s mind-expanding world, which she creates through hypnotic, textural loops and spoken samples dug up from all corners of the Internet. She pairs passages of text from scientists, social activists and films that raise questions of human nature, with her intoxicating vocals and a cosmic concoction of indie dance, synth-wave and electronica. 

’The Poem’ picks things up next. Eerie and hypnotic, a dizzying vocal passage is layered over a bewitching, echoing synth line, moody pads and May’s gliding voice.
