Credit 00 – Basement Toolz Vol. 1 [RAT003]

CREDIT 00 - Basement Toolz Vol 1

Three is the number, Basement Toolz the titel. Once again Rat Life Records is taking Mickey on a night out to the sewer. Here are two tracks made by Credit 00 with a borrowed TR 909 drum machine. Side A is called Korg the Groove, as the title already reveals, it’s inspired by Aril Brikha’s classic Detroit Techno cut. On the Flip side you will find 909ish, one drum machine and one synthesizer, which is not much but all you need and more, plus there is extra noise on the clap to amplify your face slapping pleasure.

VA – Lunes De Fiel [BM001]

SKATEBARD/WASTED GAZE/CREDIT 00 - Lunes De Fiel Vol 1

The Lunes De Fiel compilation kicks-off with an extended uptempo trapped-in-a-maze hysteria; set in a psychedelic 90’s Norwegian remake of Potemkin in the harbor of Bergen. In the woods of woody Lithuania it continues with a road movie starring a young smugglers couple and arguably the most legendary love scene in film history. The story ends at night with a director’s cut of a downhill Indiana Jones on LSD fighting hungry alligators at the riverside of the Elbe valley. A definite must have on the new Bitter Moon imprint.

Massimiliano Pagliara – With One Another [PLAYRJC032]

PAGLIARA, Massimiliano - With One Another

Massimiliano Pagliara’s second album on Live At Robert Johnson. This second full-length, ‘With One Another’, is mostly made up of collaborations with locally based producers. Norwegian exile Telephones lends a hand on the deliciously Balearic “Long Distance Call”, with one-time NYC resident Lee Douglas recalling his TBD work with Justin Vandervolgen on the murky acid assault that is “Fall Again”. Elsewhere, you’ll find a range of moods, ranging from the enveloping power house of “Native Tribes of Jupiter” (a hook-up with Credit 00), to the dreamy synth-pop of “With One Another”.

VA – Uncanny Valley 20 [UVCD020]

VARIOUS - Uncanny Valley 20

It’s time to celebrate! At catalogue number 20 Uncanny Valley extends its compilation-concept to 12 tracks spread over three records (or as a bundle if you prefer digital). The tracks will also be released as a CD compilation. With new music by label-regulars like Jacob Korn, Cuthead and Credit 00, friends like RVDS & K’Alexi or Filburt and fresh talents like Goetterkreis & Steve Kasper it is an exciting ride along the winding roads through the Uncanny Valley. The three records are visually linked with distinctive artwork by the ever-reliable Paul Waak.

Credit 00 – Ice Cream [UV018]

On Uncanny Valley’s catalogue number 18 we finally welcome back Credit 00 who is a man in charge of a decent collection of those dusty machines we all love. After the ice cold “The Living Room Life EP” from 2012, his brand new record “Ice Cream” is easy to fall in love with. Packed with tunes to suit various moods in life, it will be a faithful companion in dark basements or lonesome hours. “Ice Cream” starts deliciously with its sleazy sample choice. With the distinctive drum work it builds up to a true Chicago-inspired dance floor banger. “Round n Round” hits hard with a harsh kick and cowbell action before it shows off slightly melancholic lead synths and a subtle but effective bass line and puts the emphasis on the fact that things go round and round. Life’s a dizzy affair. “East Of Nowhere” with THAT bass line-sound is Credit 00 to the core. And with spooky synths he puts you to an east of nowhere-place where you will lose yourself in manic trance-like dancing. The record ends with “Red Wine”, a slightly different electronic love song sung by Credit 00.

Credit 00 – The Living Room Life EP [UV008]

Uncanny Valley introduce the solo EP by Credit 00. The Dresden resident delivers four ice cold Chicago inspired cuts, with hints of acid and electro, straight out of his machines which will make every synth aficionado’s mouth water. “Another Me” is, by Credits standards, an almost intimate jam, which shows that House can be a decent funky affair. In “The Cave Problem” you’ll get an extensive bassline before synths that seem to come directly out of a hurdy-gurdy from hell add the right dose of gloom. The B-Side is started off with “The Living Room”, a hard rocking track that comes like an acoustic exploration of sophisticated sound and drum ideas. The final “Brio’s Theme” is a weird and slightly menacing sci-fi work that only needs a proper movie.
