Various – “NetAudio Russia Compilation Volume 1 & 2″

mo. — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:31:55 +0000

Festival Compilation | When I think of electronic music from russia, I always think of minimal music and melodic IDM. And when I listen now to the two beautiful "NetAudio Russia Compilations" I am once more convinced that Russia especially Moscow has a strong eletronic scene I would like to explore by night. Both compilations are compiled with care and are just great.

Iky Que - "10msec" (MP3)
Frunk29 - "Alenkin Home" (MP3)
Feldmaus - "Put On A Magical Hood (Passage Version)" (MP3)
Vadim Lankov - "Impudence" (MP3)

On both "NetAudio Russia Compilations" you find in general three music genres: breakbeat-driven tracks, melodic techno and ambient tunes.

At first I thought, the compilators would have separated four to the floor-tracks from IDM from Ambient, but that's not the case.

The main idea of both compilations is to let the listeners explore the variety of electronic music done by musicians performing on the festival. And I have to say, both trips are just wonderful and fit well together.

You dive into dreamish IDM like "Rosolam (Novomix)" from moroza_knozova or breakbeats with vocals like "10msec" from Iky Que or more straight elektro like "Liquid Fur" from Stud.

On the more upfront side I adore especially two tracks which would best be described as poetic minimal techhouse. Give "Put On A Magical Hood (Passage Version)" by Feldmaus and "Alenkin Home" by Frunk29 a listen. Wonderful tunes, to dance in the morning hours to with your eyes shut of course. Truly extraordinay how Frunk29 weaves some jazzy flavor into his track.

But also DJs with a heart for more pushy grooves get something for their sets. Vadim Lankov knows how to give the bassdrum that adequate kick. He hands us two excellent tracks over. With "Lankov - secondsun" he explores minimal techno with some tricky shuffling and experimental sounds and "Impudence" is that rave tune, you need to heat up the dancefloor.

A really fantastic double-feature from Russia. Don't miss it!

PHVSR – “Bassment” (modularfield Netlabel)

mo. — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 22:02:02 +0000

Minimal TechHouse | modularfield is the rebirth of DCC Records from Cologne/Germany. "Bassment" is the first release to kick off the renamend netlabel. And PHVSR sets immediately the course of this techno spaceship: Groovy Minimal Techno. And PHVSR is definetely a good choice because you got some tricky sounds and rhythmic experiments with with this EP.

If you enjoy melodic and kicking Techno somewhere inbetween TechHouse and Minimal Techno than give PHVSR a listen. Check out the marvellous rhythmic change at the end of "schnittgrößen". Or enjoy how a techno-ravesignal turns out into some sort of field recording taken in the tube. "Metro" is tricky and enthusiastic. And than comes "percuss" a trancy groover with even more frenetic raise-your-hands-into-the-sky-potential. Let loose!

No Fillers on this EP. I really enjoy every track. So thumbs up for modularfield!

New Delhi FM – “Row By” (Der kleine grüne Würfel)

mo. — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:47:09 +0000

Deep Hypnotic Techno | The track "Cable Pollution Results" starts off with a techy chord, slowly filtered and creeping nearer and nearer till the bouncing techno bassdrum starts bounce and to pull us into the track. Truly minimal but melodic New Delhi FM creates one of these huge and hypnotic waves we like to surf through the night on. Except for two tracks at the end, he keeps this concept.

The dub-inspired techno music from New Delhi FM is slightly dark, deep and of course minimal in its essence. While listening to simple but bright synthesizer chords we let loose and drift on lots of echoes into the world of "Row By". Even though you - if you enjoy yourself listening to DubTechno - won't find new twists in his tracks New Delhi FM has learned his lessons. The artist from Cologne builds huge hypnotic loops and lets us fall into trance. What do we want more?

Yes, a warm and melodic arrival! Just listen how the beautiful electronca track "Pharmacy Officers Parade Days" drops us carefully on the ground. Excellent release!

João Triangular – “João Triangular EP” (Merzbau)

Bettina Rhymes — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 03:08:20 +0000

Joao Triangular EP

Handmade Ambient, Ghostly And Ethereal | In actual fact, João Triangular is João Machado. Machado hails from the city of Lisbon and is part of the intimate artist-rooster at Merzbau, the Portuguese Netlabel run by Tiago Sousa. The music Machado releases under the Triangular-moniker is a ghostly mix of field-recordings, analog instruments and a lot of reverb.

Three rather short tracks that bring forth an atmosphere of intense melancholy (even depression), nostalgia and decent creep. First track "Loathe" starts with processed trumpet or cello, it's hard to say. Undefined field-recordings emerge into a motive of precisely distorted synthesizer which takes on the main pitch of the billowing string-arrangement.

"Doria" afterwards has a similar mood but features some more pronounced guitar play. Alongside Machados whispered vocals, the heart rendering guitar melody injects a big potion of melancholia to João Triangular's rather sober drones. The last track is "Untitled" and comes off with a fine Theremine-like synth texture and processed Moog-flutes. Quite minimal but I like it.

P.S.: The absolutely awesome artwork is crafted by João Machao as well. Triangular, no? Chapeau!

Samim & Michal – “ripop ep” (Textone)

mo. — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 07:56:44 +0000

C3PO and R2-D2 on MDMA| For lovers of Minimal-House & Techno Netlabel Textone is still a great ressource. Textone which died an unspectacular death some time ago has still one alter-ego left. 30 releases survived the crematorium in its hideaway at archive.org. One of my favorite releases is the funky "ripop ep" by Samim & Michal. The three-tracker sounds like little bleep- and clicker-sounds dance on a deep hopping bassdrum.

Samim & Michal "ripop" (MP3)
Samim & Michal "stupidjam" (MP3)
Samim & Michal "backae" (MP3)

Samim & Michal produce music for robots who enjoy taking some time off. Mad of the dull and dumb works they normally do, they ecstatically dance to the glitter-bleep-click-mnml-house by Samim and Michal. And the DJ who saved their lives is our nice friend C-3PO and his little compagnion R2-D2 from a galaxy 'round the corner. The crowd thanks them with lots of squeaking metal arms in the air.

"ripop" is a statement how funky Minimal-House and Techno can sound. To me, a netlabel-classic.

Comfort Fit – “Yellow Snow Mix”

mo. — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:06:37 +0000

Juicy HipHop-Mix | Comfort Fit is a true phenomena. He fuels his techy HipHop-productions with powerful jazzz-inspired melodies and combines them with complex beats. Underneath and in each corner of the stereofield you feel his love for eclectic sounds. His "Yellow Snow Mix" is an actual blue print of his latest own productions and cooperations with other vocalists.

Since I discovered Comfort Fit on Tokyo Dawn (FTP) I felt in love with each new production. I admire Comfort Fit for his production skills and passionate love for HipHop-Music. But while other musicians copy old patterns, Comfort Fit explores new paths. In his "Yellow Snow"-Mix you listen to a exciting fusion of jazz, minimal techno-inspired sounds and of course broken beats. With each listen you discover new sounds, twists and melodies. Five stars! Keep your head up, and dig this!

The mix was originally mixed for mondayjazz.com and is not released under a creative commons.
