VA / In Memoriam Andrey Tarkovsky (2008)
Label: Musica Excentrica (exc015)
Style: Dark Ambient, Musique Concrète, Experimental

Musica Excentrica proud to present our compilation dedicated to most impressive film-directors of XX century Andrey Tarkovsky.

In the entire history of cinema there has never been a director, who has made such a dramatic stand for the human spirit as he did. Today, when cinema seems to have drowned in a sea of glamorized triviality, when human relationships on screen have been reduced to sexual intrigue or sloppy sentimentality, and baseness rules the day – this man appears as a lone warrior standing in the midst of this cinematic catastrophe, holding up the banner for human spirituality.

The Genius of modern Russian cinema – hailed by Ingmar Bergman as „the most important director of our time“ – died an exile in Paris in December 1986.

After 22 years, passed from that year we decided to ask Kim Cascone, Astro, Violet, 833-45, Kenneth Kirschner, Astrowind, Pink Twins, Alva Noto, Nobukazu Takemura and Nikita Golyshev what do they think about Tarkovsky’s phenomenon. This musical answers are now gathered in a big compiliation, and we invite everyone to explore it.

Sackrai / Another Story (2008)
Label: Archipel [ARCH042]
Style: Minimal, Tech House

Sackrai, a Japanese producer, DJ and member of the group The Suffragettes, has previously had a track released on Telegraph’s ‘Too Cool for School’ compilation and now we are proud to bring you an EP of his charming, warm and mellow music, entitled „Another Story“ as well as a remix from fellow member of the Suffragettes, So Inagawa. The release is cooked to a simmering perfection, providing a spectrum of inebriating moods which foams at the surface with a coronal glow. „As If“ and „Hundred Feet“ generate more meaty, corporeal feelings with gentle shrouds of sunny chords, while „Close Behind“ and So Inagawa’s remix of „Hundred Feet“ are electrically charged and heady with subtle fragments of warbling digital embers sewn throughout.

StevieP / Attune EP (2008)
Label: Stir Sound [stir028]
Style: Techno, Experimental, Minimal

Attune kicks off with the title track, a straightforward jammer of a track with a swing on the bassline and melancholic pad. The second track, Head Rush, is a little darker with Stevie’s signature chord progressions and super clicky hats and percussion. Uhu wraps up the originals with a fun and funky little number. Measax strips it down on his remix of Attune. Newcomer Emory Emlyn get’s shaky on his interpretation of Head Rush and Jeffrey.S rounds out the back end with a percussive rework of Uhu.

Sascha Müller / Noise Reducer EP (2008)
Label: Ear-Min Records [EAR-MIN21]
Style: Tech House, Minimal, Techno

For the 4th on Ear-recordings we present to you Sascha Müller. This time with a release on EARmin. This EP, a two-tracker, with minimal, but groovy tracks. The first one is with a track with a hypnotizing theme. A sort of a nervous bell-sound with high octaves and less use of rhythms. The seconds is more of an up-tempo track, with more or less darker sounds and just as less rhythms as the first track and in the middle of the track a kind of a deephouse string with some ambient-like soundscapes. Both tracks very useful on the dancefloor.

Sul.a / Ink Spot (2008)
Label: Archipel [ARCH039]
Style: Glitch, IDM

Sul.a returns to Archipel with „Ink Spot“, a very smooth and intricate album with heavy dub leanings.“Wake-up Call“ is a contorting abstract static shock to the cortex with heavy set rhythms intent on making all in its aural path step to it within a soft layer of subtle windblown melody while „Hungry Ghost“ is dotted with mentally muscular pointillistic patterning to satisfy and fill any smokey spectral appetite. Malfunction in perfect synchronization,

Suokas / Candy Man (2007)
Label: silenzio.tv [slnz.a007]
Style: Techno, Minimal

We’re back to start in a proper way this 2008. And we’re back after a trip that took us really far: we’ve found Suokas in Russia, and it was instant love. With a sound that ranges from rough funk to more dramatic psichedelia, his debut on Silenzio is a four track ep empowered by two impressive visions of the direction that minimal techno will take. Candy Man and Fucker – our bet for a brighter future – have the right mood and enough power to be the perfect tracks of both beaming mornings and obscure nights. Above all, an astonishing Jon Seber remix heads once again to those stifling beats and deep chords that represent our favorite present.

Gate Zero / Green Planet (2008)
Label: Stadtgruen [gruen026]
Style: Glitch, Minimal, Ambient

It might be the state before or after civilization. We slip into a green ambience. Surrounded by little creatures we walk through higher grass. Dark electronic sounds frighten us, but everything is in an harmonic stability. Do we strife through a primeval forest or trapped into an adventure game?

Gate Zero surprises with a smooth and calm releases which convinces by its balance: between natural and electronic sounds, between almost romantic harmonies and weird insertions. Major and minor at the same time, floating into each other on the same level, and merging beyond rightness. While listening we drift into a state of self-absorption and we can see clearly our path in this green world: We have to slow down to give all creatures and things their own place and time. Then, everything will have its inner truth beyond the antipodes.

It gives us great pleasure to present to you the latest release on Alt Recordings, featuring three brand new tracks by none other than Tom Ellis! Having given us a blinding remix for the Daniel Schneider EP last year, he now returns with the ‘Done In EP’, featuring his trademark funked out style and a further extension of the path Alt chooses to tread through electronic music.In just four years of releasing material, Tom has forged a sound so distinctive as to give him worldwide recognition, for both his own productions and the releases put out on the Trimsound label that he runs with partner in crime Leif. With a style that comes on quirky at times, groovy at others, often deep but always funky, there’s nothing else out there that sounds quite like the Trimsound family.

Dr. Nojoke / Kleine Cliknophonie (2008)
Label: Archipel [ARCH041]
Style: Techno, Minimal

Archipel’s forty-first release brings Dr. Nojoke into the spotlight with the extra thick and intricately percussive „Kleine Cliknophonie“.

„Desertas“ is a thick skinned and sticky low slung psychedelic funk animal running in percussive cycles so warm they become immediately tangible. „Emporungsstandard“ spins a web of bending raw vocalizations in a sultry atmosphere of twirling hypnoscapes.“Flugs“ heavily holds itself up with rhythmic strength walking amongst a crowded corridor of exotic and foreign memories created within moments never experienced prior to their conception while still remaining familiar.“Hohlophony“ begins with fluttering swarms of white noise insect life and atonal musings and quickly evolves into a caustic nether-hours freak-out. „Nur Himmel“ carries a hefty, warm and wooden elastic weight with sideways, hypnagogic synaptic synthesis splashed throughout.

This release is now for free but if you wish to support the artist, you can find it on sale in online quality shops such as Beatport and What People Play.
