The twentieth anniversary of Kanzleramt marks a significant milestone in the career of Heiko Laux. Label owner since the beginning in 1994, he brings to us his impressive fifth solo album filling a void in contemporary electronic music. Keeping consistent to his style, rhythmically challenging patterns flutter throughout the album making it a solid, coherent 8-piece composition. Hints of Detroit techno permeate the collection with drastic chord changes that gently tinker with the boundary between techno and trance.

With nature as a strong influence in the creative process, the replication of its kookaburra trill can be found throughout each piece. However, the bird itself carries significance in this collection, as it is a migratory bird that can found in many habitats similar to an individual suffering from fernweh.

With the first track “Brace” as a smooth introductory to the album, a steady downtempo slowly climbs into a persuasive bass-line setting the tone for the succeeding tracks. “Hexagon” on the other hand dives straight into a deep resounding kick making it clear this collection is also effective on the dance floor. The title track, “Fernweh,” plays a significant role in the essence of the album not only toying with its definition but in its resonating tone. With the meaning as a desire to be anywhere but the familiar, simultaneously distorted violins and ominous organs embody a longing for a far off land. Slow pattering hi-hats filled with reverb resonate to resemble a timeless techno sound. Imagination wanders far and wide wondering if we are on earth or traveling far out into the constellations.

“Neutron,” the fourth track on the album acts a perfect mediator, cutting the compilation into two whilst keeping consistent with galactic sonorities, it makes way for the next track “There There”. With its bouncing bass that mimics a throbbing acid line, it is a powerful track made with the dance floor in mind as it climaxes into rhythmic cymbals. “Shimmer” arrives with perfect timing, acting as a short peacemaker cleansing the palate. With its calming tone, the overlaying palpitations, it longingly awaits the heavy kick of “Rowing.” Consistent of the albums modulating notes and references to remoteness, its title references the journey of not only listening but also creating this collection as a whole. With “Align” as a very powerful final track, it slowly begins to decompress, each note beginning to vanish gently helping you land with feet back on the ground.

It is with great passion and experience that Heiko Laux is able to bring to us such an emotive and climactic selection as Kanzleramt continues to occupy the abyss in today’s techno culture.

From Greek-born composer and sound designer John Valasis aka Poordream, comes his debut LP ‘Ninetynine‘. Recently added to Ninja Tune’s publishing house alongside artists Bonobo, Amon Tobin, and Flying Lotus, Poordream now offers this collection of songs that take the listener on an intense journey, set to explore the contrasts between earthly and urban, fragility and harshness, hope and despair. From ambient, organic and cinematic to experimental sound sculpting with electronic means, Poordream masterfully blends real instruments and field recording with digital textures and atmospheres in order to synthesize a unique mixture of world and contemporary electronic music.

‘Ninetynine‘ reaches into the human consciousness, illuminating undiscovered aspects of mind. The ordinary life of the city and other hidden, mystic secrets meld together between complex beats and stark melodies in a work of art that is unique in its diversity. By combining elements of dreamy, atmospheric IDM, breakbeats and world music, and expertly utilizing the deep singing of cello strings, chopped up and arranged to constitute beatwork, Poordream has constructed a listening experience that is both gritty and ethereal.

The mind of Owen Mclean appears to be a chaotic place – the 22 tracks which rarely exceed 2 minutes presented here are impossible to keep up with in the best possible way. This is the work of an imagination that cannot sit still, a place where distorted yet absolutely familiar samples crash head on against solid walls of pulsing noise, where slick pop has been dragged kicking and screaming into the future, forced to adapt or risk self destruction. Owen’s world feels like it could completely collapse at any moment, but always soars when the rubble beckons. Imagine James Ferraro scoring a theatrical adaptation of a JG Ballard short and you’re getting warm.

11. Echoing Lights (Feat. Anodised) (04:44)

After the unprecedented response to his debut album ‘Lights’, Tineidae returns to present his follow-up album ‘Shadows’. Focusing on beat-oriented IDM and tightly-textured ambient sounds, this young Ukrainian producer manages to harness intensity and precision to create an engaging sound motifs that will certainly resonant with the listener.

By fusing expansive ambient atmospheres, harmonic notions, dissonant glitches and broken beats that guide along haunting melodies, ‘Shadows’ creates the impression of a hollow chamber, in which sounds ricochet from tunnel walls. Tineidae shares his vision of a dystopian metropolis – a glimpse at the origins of future life, from millions of merging datastreams. And having awoken from the terrible vision of the dystopia that lies ahead, we’re reminded that the future is not set in stone.

Title Of Album:The Tape Project
Year Of Release: 2014
Label: Eclipse
Genre: Ambient, Dub Techno
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 01:12:32
Total Size: 161 mb

Tracklist:
01. Artificial (Extended Mix) (12:24)
02. Circle of Time (11:36)
03. Cold Waves (13:39)
04. Flood Rush (7:41)
05. Poly Holds (4:38)
06. The Thaw (13:55)
07. Volcaninc (8:33)

The Tape Project was recorded between 2010 and 2012.
The concept of this was to make songs that were entirely free of the computer (from making sounds all the way to the final mix). This started a new way of working and capturing a bit more freedom and allowing to focus on arrangement more with ears instead eyes.
All tracks were produced with a small eurorack modular synthesizer with analog step sequencers in it. This system worked well with a TR-808 and other older synths, then every synth was routed to the mixing console and then finally recorded to cassette tape.
The tape support has been choosen for the added sound of the compression and the added extra noise seemed to gel nicely with the compositions.
Spanning from ambient to deep techno with few dub elements, the album consists of seven full lenght original takes recorded on tapes. No edits, no post-production, no computer.

Title Of Album: Whitehope
Year Of Release: 2014

Tracklist:
1. Whitehope 01:02:53

Several years ago, I imagined a place named Whitehope. It formed in my mind as naturally as any logic or observation might – it almost seemed to already exist. I had to look it up to make sure it didn’t. Once the seed had been planted, I imagined even further – what was Whitehope like? It was blurry, slightly warm, sunny with buildings made of smoothed ivory that could either be churches or lighthouses. A lighthouse might make sense, because I knew that Whitehope was an island, surrounded on all sides by a furious bubbling blue sea. It submitted to the ocean waves via rocky crags and clay-colored sand, while inland there were mountains surrounded by rolling green hills and pastoral fields filled with yellow flowers. It all sounded so perfect. I had to etch out some kind of aural tribute to this fictional place, perhaps even something that could stand up to the feeling of actually being there. So I set out on my course to find Whitehope in my instruments and on my tapes. Three different attempts to reach it failed, and landed me in different territories altogether that have themselves been issued under other names. Only when I began to give up on ever finding Whitehope did I arrive there, and when I did, I didn’t even know I had made the trip. I had relinquished all hope of constructing my passage to this beautiful place to the fact that some ideas are just too perfect to ever create or attain. Then one night, while chasing some tangential idea in my studio that felt good, I did it. At first it was like remembering a dream – that foggy sensation that something made sense, even though it was not supposed to, and that you just couldn’t forget it. I went to sleep that night with my completed recording and when I woke up, I realized what I had done. Cradling the sound of Whitehope are several layers (about a dozen) of oceanic field recordings – sea sound reconstituted into fantasist backdrop. Then nestled deep inside are buoyant stabs of chords that punctuate and propel a coalescing haze of pads, glossing lazily over a subdued rhythm section that could almost be a heartbeat. By the end of the hour, everything chimes together in a shimmering white glow, pure harmony. Now that I’ve finally reached Whitehope, I don’t need to worry about ever leaving it, and neither do you.

Rephrase III

Dream-state fog rolls over dew covered kick drums left to fill up with rain water in the bottom of a ravine. Everything is blurry, slow like syrup, but if you squint and close one eye you can make out movements and a few round shapes in the abyss. Bliss lights up your mind and skin like a new drug, you could feel like this forever and never go back. Endless endless endless. Goodnight.

Title Of Album: Whitehope [Versions]
Year Of Release: 2014
Label: Milieu Music / ABX33B
Genre: Dub Techno, Ambient
Quality: Flac
Bitrate: lossless
Total Time: 00:52:05
Total Size: 175 mb

Tracklist:
1.Whitehope [Parts 1 & 2] 27:05
2.Whitehope [Part 3] 25:00

Recorded during the same dream-state session as Whitehope, these three versions subtly mutate and tangentially explore the hour long centerpiece track on the CD-R. When ripping the tape the recordings were laid to, it became apparent that the cassette itself was degrading the audio more than usual. Having tested the rest of the cassettes I ordered in the same batch, I determined that all of them shared this odd trait. The tapes record and play back just fine, yet they seem to process the audio in interesting ways that actually add to the quality of the music. So I decided to release this cassette version of the album, on intentionally degraded black cassettes, essentially making this the “black” version of Whitehope. The nature of the cassette degradation means that no two copies of the cassette will sound alike, and future listens may reveal deeper grades of degradation, making for a truly unique and transforming listening experience. Deep analog forests of cloudy techno!

Tracklist:
1.Cornucopiad I 10:40
2.Cornucopiad II 01:01:50
3.Cornucopiad III 04:55

Coppice Halifax has always been an elementally and seasonally inspired project, a fact longtime listeners know quite well by now. Cornucopiad is the bounty of my first Autumn recording session in 2014, heralding the return of cool air, the smell of smoky backyards and the turning from green to orange and brown. A celebration of inevitable death and decline, self-sacrifice in the name of composting and subsequent rebirth. Renewal through destruction and regeneration. Three pieces of Impressionist techno that tread the borderline between organic and electronic, as with most things this plentiful year has produced. So, make some coffee, put on a sweater and enjoy the first fruits of my Halifaxian Autumn.

I made Florida between a small apartment in Philadelphia and my mother’s house in Florida. I was working late nights and taking a bus through the city every night, smoking weed, putting on headphones and just making things I never heard before and could just imagine. Making this record created an entirely new world for me. Now that I think back it’s a very strange beginning and it’s crazy it’s been 10 years since its first release, but really, this record represents my first 23 years of life – what I had inside of me and where I came from so I’m excited to revisit it.

“From the ruins of the birthplace of techno, Detroit Underground launches LAB, a series of highly limited cassettes and digital downloads with photography by Monochrome Laborotory™.

The first release, entitled Drudged Torn Routine by Japan’s Yu Miyashita aka Yapoigami. features IDM, industrial and power-noise inspired recordings with conjugated titles such as Am, Is, Are, and Was followed by B-side offerings Were, Be, Being and Been.

All eight tracks feature stark, hypnotic, percussion heavy approaches that mutate constantly, shifting between intense home listening sessions to late night dance floor fare that further expands on the experimental dance tangents reflected in the label’s previous vinyl and CD releases.

Also present is DU’s further commitment to graphic design as part and parcel of the package. The label stays true to form here creating hand printed inserts, coloured cassettes, and cases. The LAB series is a welcome compliment and strong addition to the Detroit Underground catalogue.”
