Phil Kieran / Jochem Paap – Workshops Vol. 01 [DLX018]

KIERAN, Phil/JOCHEM PAAP - Workshops Vol 01 (Front Cover)

„Workshops“ is a new experimental series of releases by Phil Kieran and Jochem Paap (aka Speedy J), to explore the recording techniques dating right back to the mid 1950‘s. Famous inspirational places like ‘BBCRadiophonic Workshops’ in England and ‘Philips Lab’ in Holland have seen some of the most innovative production techniques, experimenting with the first use of stereo, modular synths, found sounds and reel to reel tapes. The end result was always something space age and promisingly futuristic and still to this day fresh sounding, crisp and exciting. The first Issue of ‘Workshops Vol.1 EP’ consist of three flowing tracks with an inimitable organic and atmospheric appeal.

Lucy – Monad X [SAM010]

LUCY - Monad X (Front Cover)

Lucy’s Monad X plays with Pythagoras’ vision of ‘X’ as the numeral that perfectly envelops the entire nature of numbers. But Monad X is anything but a benign portrait of creation. On ‘Triad’ primal dub erupts into gnarled noise, the undercarriage of ‘Tetrad’ writhes unset – tlingly against the strictures of 4/4 and ‘Pentad’ is underpinned by a decidedly ghostly aesthetic. To close, ‘Decad’ hovers over a vortex and it’s here that from the Monad the Dyad starts to emerge.

Monty Luke – Tomorrow [BC001_101]

LUKE, Monty - Tomorrow EP (Front Cover)

The first release on Black Catalogue is coming from owner Monty Luke. The “Tomorrow EP” contains three tracks and gives an eclectic glimpse into what just what Black Catalogue is all about.

Container – LP [SP007]

https://imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS434145-01A-MED.jpg

Container is a recent moniker of Nashville, Tennessee resident Ren Schofield. The sounds on this release  are a thick stew congealing new ideas and naive experiments, abstract and minimal in nature with time stopping tendencies.  This music, by being so unruly and defiant of any kind of trend, has created a fresh and wierd fusion.

Max_M – The Kidnapper Bell [MRECLTD009]

MAX M - The Kidnapper Bell (Front Cover)

Max_M with an original on his own M_Rec LTD, a journey with a very deep sound, something that comes from his background, a walk through Detroit, Birmingham and Berlin. A rhythm that is not heavy, repetitive riff that nullifies any inhibitions. It’s definitely evil, it’s a reminder of the deep and pure techno. Remixes by Shifted and Ascion.

Matt O’Brien – Bloom [OK006]

https://i0.wp.com/static.boomkat.com/images/472216/333.jpg

New release from Matt O’Brien on his own Off-key Industries. ‘Bloom’ lays it smooth and stealthy, riding fat, subs-driven rhythm daubed with fluttering Teutonic synth into a subtly show-stealing breakdown and back to business. On the flip side, ‘Without Warning’  has body-slydin’, mentasm style synth licks and droning pads.

Words coming from Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt:

“Ok people here it is the new Legowelt album which is free to download for u all Its got a hella lot deep tape saturated forest-techno tracks on it and when I say Techno i dont mean that boooooooooooring contemporary shit they call techno nowadays with overrated tallentless pretentious douchebag cunt DJs playing a few halfassed dumb mongo beats and being all arty fartsy about it.

F*ck that, I am talking about: Raw as fuck autistic Star Trek 1987- Misty Forests- X-FILES,- DETROIT unicorn futurism made on cheap ass digital & analog crap synthesizers recorded in a ragtag bedroom studio on a TEAC VHX cassettedeck in DOLBY C with an unintelligible yet soulfull vivacity.

if you like it you can donate some $ or Euros, Any donation small or large is appreciated u can paypal to: wolfers@xs4all.nl so I can buy more crap synthesizers to make stuff like this and repair my Roland Juno 106 which stopped working  during the recording of this album…probably cause this shit is tooo deep and it just couldn’t handle it…. doesnt matter, the bottom line question is CAN U HANDLE IT???”
