Kondens – Second Coming [KM021]
Kondens is collaboration between Swedish electronic music veterans Andreas Tilliander aka Mokira and Stefan Thor aka Folie. The sound is a hybrid of techy dubstep with a twist and banging dub-influenced techno. Pure peak time bliss without losing the love for dub and tape delays. This is their ‘Second Coming’ and is supported by a breathtakingly beautiful Substance remix.
Professor Genius – Hassan [LIES007]
Composing an entire electronic album around the notorious 15th Century Cult Of Assassins, New Jersey based producer Jorge Velez, better known as Professor Genius, has created a unique and ambitious piece of work, under the guise of “Hassan”. Largely based around layered atmospheric Arabic-styled synth work and sparse percussion throughout, Hassan employs an entirely electronic palette to bring listeners into a secret world filled with darkness, drama, triumph and chaotic dissonance. The release includes also remixes by Steve Moore, Marcos Cabral and Steve Summers.
John Beltran – Beautiful Robots EP [STYRAXJOHNBELTRANC]
John Beltran presents 3 new ambient electronica tracks on Styrax Records. Beautifully produced, generously melodic work of one of techno’s unsung heroes.
Donor / Truss – Endo [TPT0486]
Transatlantic duo Donor / Truss return on Perc Trax, with a four tracks release. ‘Endo’ represents a new peak for the Donor / Truss sound with each individual section working as both a self-contained track and a quarter of the entire Endo experience. Together the 4 parts join together to make a complete piece of music, stretching across 23 minutes and 2 sides of vinyl.
Jeff Mills – Fantastic Voyage [AXCD044]
New double CD inspired by the motion picture “Fantastic Voyage” (1966) and artist Osamu Tezuka. The soundtrack was initially made for the cinemix event at Cite de la Musique in Paris in May 2011. Composed and produced by Jeff Mills.
Cio D´Or – Magnetfluss EP [PRG022]
There’s a variety of ways to produce Techno and Cio creates always a unique world of deep, clear, transparent sound architectures. Even with this new Magnetfluss EP our grande madame of Techno show us a new interpretation of her own musical world. All tracks are deeply emotional designed and bare a picture of modern electronic music.
VA – 5 Years Compilation (Part One) [SEMANTICA030.1]
Semantica celebrates its 5 years anniversary, with a various artists selection featuring ERP, Boris Divider, Oscar Mulero, and Julien Neto. Beautiful electronix by some talented producers.
Alexander D’niel – Panel Trax 018 [PTX018]
Panel Trax presents the debut release by Alexander D’niel, a young artist from Argentina, now living in Berlin. The EP has a dense grave atmosphere featuring five original tracks, ranging from pure ambient stuff to full on techno, with an industrial feeling.
Unbroken Dub – Untitled Dubs [RAWAX001]
From Germany comes Untitled Dubs, another somewhat enigmatic project, bringing a lot of warmth and subtally moody techno stuff.
Auji Industries – Love You More EP [PAN02]
The second release on Ryo Murakami’s and DJ PI-GE’s label Pan Records, represents the debut EP by Auji Industries from Tokyo with four wonderful deep dubby tracks .
Bethany Skirt – Itmuts [HG010]
Horizontal Ground presents release no. 10, featuring some advanced electronic tracks from techno to drone, wave/punk electronica rooted tunes and a remix of Itmuts by Skirt.
Conforce – Dystopian Elements EP [89DSR]
Preceding the release of his next full length album, Dutchman Conforce has selected four tracks to release as the Dystopian Elements EP. But don’t let the title fool you because, as is often the case with Boris Bunnik, there is a warm analogue/digital harmony to his sounds which is more than worthy of its place on Delsin.
Seltene Erden – Northern Rae [MULEELECTRONIC079]
Gunnar Wendel, the producer best known for his work under the Kassem Mosse moniker debuts the Seltene Erden pseudonym, with the four tracks here lavishly deep explorations. The shimmering slo-mo dub of “Northen Rae” gets things on the A-Side to a stunning start, complemented by the crackly ambience of “Bayan Obo”. Flip over for the Theo-esque rhythms of “Kvanefjeld” and perhaps the most breathtaking of the lot – the intensely relaxing, beatless soundscape of “Hoidas Lake”.
Giorgio Gigli – The Imperceptible Shade Of Illusion [M_RECLTD008]
M_Rec Ltd presents two original tracks by Giorgio Gigli and a remix from Terence Fixmer. Together, their approach creates something special and unique. In its original track Giorgio Gigli delivers the best of its hypnotic and psychedelic techno. A great atmosphere, where the ambient pads meet the dark bass sound. The side closes with an ambient session; a drone of pure electronic,dark synth, making the idea of the state of mind of his own individual unconscious. Terence Fixmer’s version is decidedly more rough, stripped of certain atmospheres, highlighting a more hypnotic and repetitive attitude.
John Beltran – Kassem Mosse & Sven Weisemann Remixes [87DSR]
In addition to the “Best Of Ambient” compilation from John Beltran, two remixes are made to honour one of our favourite electronic music producers of all time. The a-side gives us a reinterpretation of “Brilliant Flood” from rising star Kassem Mosse together with his studiomate Mix Mup. This remix smoothly pimps up the track whilst leaving the atmosphere of the original intact. On the b-side, Sven Weisemann made a composition as a tribute to John Beltran, which contains elements of different original cuts. The result is Sven’s Glorify Tribute Mix, a dreamy epic adventurous nine-minute masterpiece in three parts
Brain Machine – Alpha Beta Gamma [THR003]
Epic kosmiche/Italo expedition from Guido Zen and Juan Trippe’s Brain Machine, co-piloted with remixes with Von Spar and Johan Agebjörn! The ten minute vastness of ‘Alpha Beta Gamma’ nods to both Schulze and Moroder and should command any dancefloor it’s sent to, while Von Spar give a neater, pop-sized version still with the triplet rhythm propulsion. Johan Agebjörn’s productions is kinda like viewing the northern lights from a shuttle above Detroit.
Donato Dozzy – In Bed [ASD017]
The third part in Absurd Recordings’ Acid Test Series is “a spaced out ambient acid tune” recorded for the Labyrinth festival in 2010 by Donato Dozzy. Labelmate Tin Man remixes the track on the flipside and turns it “into a dark tripped out acid journey” with his added vocals.
Clatterbox – Desolate Void [FR019]
New release on Frustrated Funk by Clatterbox, featuring 5 excellent electro tracks with an ambient flavour.
Coppice Halifax & Ohrwert – Parallel Harbors [OH#Six]
‘Parallel Harbors’, the sixth album on Other Heights connects Coppice Halifax and Ohrwert. Coppice Halifax’s ‘Acres’, which have already been wandered on OH#Three, now return with their rough and dry subtleness, whilst Ohrwert takes his dubbed-out productions to strengthen this to a solid album.
