VA – Welovetomerge – Junction [WLTE-JUNCTION]

This is the one and only ever release on Welovetoemerge. Six serious electro-techno grooves to capture your soul – check the aura of moody melodies of Hyboid’s ‘Jenseitsflugmaschine’, Telebot’s electronic love ballad, ‘Robot Messiah’ and the infectious lil’ groove that is Redcone’s ‘The Head’. Top drawer stuff and Interstellar’s album of the month!
VA – The Tear Apart Tapes [MW026]

Out of the 3 songs on this release, 2 were originally released on cassette in the 80’s by Danny Bosten of Das Ding via his own Tear Apart Tapes label. The other one (LAB 80) was a collaboration he did with his brother and has remained unreleased until now. This release was pressed in conjunction with PopWave301 to celebrate Das Ding’s live set at OT301 in Amsterdam on October 21, 2010.
Ruins – The Art Dance LP [MW025]

A full length LP by Ruins, an Italian electro-wave duo. Ruins formed in Mestre in 1978 with the intention of experimenting with electronic devices and mixed media. They mainly created music out of self-expression without any intention of joining the mainstream. Ruins it’s where Italo meets Minimal Wave.
Collin Gorman Weiland – Price Of Leather / Despair & Confession [D07]

Downwards uproot a fine clod of propulsive drone noise from one Collin Gorman Weiland. He follows in the freshly trodden footsteps of Six Six Seconds to release a brilliant debut on the Regis-curated label. A-side ‘Price Of Leather’ attains a pummeling attack velocity of industrial rhythms and sludgy, crooked kosmische spirals and the flipside ‘Despair And Confession’ zones out to gunkjack machine throbs and walls of welting distortion.
