Beatuifully Packaged DIY release of new French Indie Pop Darling´s Caiman Philippines. Cai?man Philippines does not belong to a single style, its strength reside in the reuse of its influences' codes, without actually losing its proper identity neither the auditor's attention. A very beautiful opening colored with casualness, which comes to a powerfully dancing psychedelic pop, their sexy music. Remixes from emergent French electro producers give one more gorgeous touch to this ep with solar vibes from TOTALMESS and his personal Cashmere Cat like style, dancefloor accents with Eidn remix that sounds very closed to Soulwax and more psychedelism with Grisli vocodered version of "A Glorious Fall". French touch will definitively never end!

Fifteen years on Ibiza, fifty years alive: in 2015 Sven Väth celebrates two major birthdays. With more than 10.000 of his fans he will celebrate his own birthday on October the 25th in Mannheim´s Maimarkthalle. Luciano, DJ Koze and Richie Hawtin will be among the well-wishers behind the turntables. The birthday bash will as well be the kick off for Väth´s world tour, which will take him through three continents. Sven Väth´s fans: Some of them are dancing for more than thirty years to his music. Within Frankfurt´s club scene, they followed him from Dorian Gray, the Omen, U60311, to the CocoonClub to Ibiza. Until now, they rely on Väth's tireless curiosity to reinvent electronic dance music again and again. With his longtime companions Väth not only went through the night, but through life.
Then there are the kids from Ibiza who might have experienced Väth for the first time in one of the wonderful nights of the passed summer at Amnesia or at one of the afterhours. Väth enchants them with an abundance of electronic sounds, styles and moods, they are introduced to the cosmos of sophisticated electronic music. They could be his children. With this experience Väth is lead to a new, more relaxed perspective, a sense of what is really important. In an extensive interview for Resident Advisor Väth told the international audience about his multifaceted history as musician and entrepreneur. In a notable podcast for the same page he offers us an insight in his musical interests beyond electronic dance music for the first time in years.
With "Sound of the 15th Season", Väth has left behind the two-part night & day concept of some of the earlier seasons. For the first time, he mixes a continuous, nearly three-hour set. Väth starts off a with delicate house tune from Stimming and the charming, flirtatiously naive voice of Piper Davis. The lovely piano tones captivate the attention while psychedelic moments arouse curiosity. Väth finishes the short opening sequence with another exceptional track: within Alex & Digbys "Kudlak" children pray to a number of saints, and their sincerity and seriousness appeals to us deep in our inside. Väth gives us a moment to feel where we stand in this point in time. Then the party begins. The next chapter is devoted to a classic, wonderfully level-headed New York house sound creating a peaceful haven in Ibiza´s restlessness. Leon Vynehall draws us with gentle chords to the dance floor, D'Lonely Al adds a euphoric note. Roman Flügel & Simian Mobile Disco set the sounds like dots of color on a canvas. They suspend this impressionistic, playful approach with a strong, emotional bass line. Sebastian Mullaert melds these scattered energies in a wonderful, cardinal number with Karim Sahraoui adding multifaceted emotions. With his nervous funk Elbee Bad adds physicality and sex appeal. With the fascinating "Rezo" by Marc Philipp, the set reaches a first climax. Being full of hope and promise the hookline is directed into the future, yet it does not loose contact to the here and now. The Lauer brothers combine the playful approach of the first tracks with a powerful, driving groove. With David August's epic "Epicurus" the acoustic space gains depth and richness. Until now the set was a family affair, now you immerse yourself in the crowd and get carried away.
With DJ Koze's Remix of Moderats "Bad Kingdom", Väth revives the combination of pop and psychedelica and moves into the third chapter. Koze dissolves the anthemic pop song in poetic, trippy sounds. Fun and easy turn into rapid and uninhibited. Reboot´s bassline spin the dancers around. With his bright, crystal-clear sounds Benjamin Damage nets this turmoil. Dast manages to square the circle: he sounds physical and empathetic like a Strictly-Rhythm-track, yet his explosive energy rather reminds of thriving techno. With Sable Sheep the beats get complicated and dense. Väth synthesizes the heterogeneous energies on the dance floor. Wonderfully straight, the bassline of Gary Beck moves into the track, you feel its razor-sharp, driving force in your fingertips and your tows. Väth reaches the finale: "Sand Storm" by Pig & Dan has the dimensions of a natural event. Gusts of sand grains form a massive sound wave that is sublime and a little scary at the same time. Now everything is possible: Jurek Przezdziecki & Jacek Sienkiewicz turn to a jazzy tonality. Daniel Stefanik counters with a pitch-black sentiment, its elegance being broken by a bizarre creaking and whistling. With this unconditionally demanding machine music we have reached the climax. Transforming this extreme tension in a thrilling acid track, Techno innovator Luke Slater creates clarity and defines a target. MMM pull around the helm, with a fanfare they spread a funny, winking euphoria. Slam grant us a breather with a timeless party track. Sawlin & Subjected break into the scene with futuristic, intricate industrial sounds. At the finale it is Kölsch´s turn: the Dane reconciles madness and beauty with an oblique, funny squeak with an amazing vocal a la James Blake.
Väth is able to excel his intuition for electronic sounds just another time. He puts on a record and knows immediately what is going on in the track's heart. In 2014 Väth gets rid of some ballast that has been piling up in club music´s language. As in Far Eastern physical and spiritual practices, Yoga and Zen, it is often just a matter of holding the energy. Listening to himself, Väth is confronted with a stream of energy inspiring him and drawing us in. He always had the enthusiasm of a child. Now he is a wise man as well.

Short info:
Pulshar return to Desolat with another stunning long player filled with a selection of sumptuous productions that further demonstrate their grasp over intimate and deeply ethereal electronic music. Vinyl version of 'Blood and Mathematics' features the originals and instrumentals via download code, and is perfectly timed for when the days begin to draw to a close. Barcelona based duo Sergio S. Vidal and Pablo Bolivar have cemented the Pulshar name and reputation as proponents of dub-heavy, soulful and at times psychedelic electronic music. Their first Desolat long player 'Inside' received critical acclaim and effortlessly bridged the gap between the dance-floor and the home listening environment. They returned to Desolat in 2013 with a deliciously deep and trippy EP in 'Different Drum', and now continue their relationship with the label with 'Blood and Mathematics'. Pulshar continue their affair with Electro, Instrumental Hip-Hop, Dub and Psychedelia. They have distilled this to create a distinctive and soulful brand of electronic music and the new Long Player represents where the artists are in 2014. All the tracks are written and produced by them, with only Guti as a featuring artist on 'Running Away'. This has resulted in them cultivating a traditional 'album' experience where one track effortlessly segues into the next and takes the listener through a range of emotions across the record. Blood and Mathematics is a contemporary electronic music listening experience that will be revisited again and again.

Short info:
Over the years Electric Deluxe has become a beacon for established names to test out new projects, and it's with great pleasure we welcome another unknown into the fold. Arad is the fresh-faced solo guise of Dara Smith, best known as one half of Lakker. Together with partner Ian McDonell, the pair have been making music for over a decade, in recent years honing their insidious and deftly idiosyncratic take on techno for labels like Blueprint, Stroboscopic Artefacts and R&S. But whilst McDonell has found the time to prune his own solo career as Eomac, Smith has been fully occupied with Lakker and working as a motion graphics designer. Until now, that is. 'Haon EP' is Smith's debut release as Arad. Bolstered by years of experimentation and experience, and written with the same capricious approach to style that's made Lakker's rise such a joy to chart, 'Haon EP' is a veritable feast of intriguing composition and influences. Opening with the aptly titled roller "Basswave" and screwed-up sounds of "Fourty Four" before flipping over to the staccato march of "Gedup awa dat" and warped Warpness of closer "NCS", 'Haon EP' is one for the headphones as much for the dancefloor, that continues to reward with every listen. Digital bonus tracks "Grand Job" and "Tapper" then show Smith take another turn entirely, proving Arad to be a project definitely worth keeping tabs on.

Special remarks : 12" LTD with purple coloured vinyl
Tracklist A. Never Let You Go B. Glowin' Nights
Shortinfo:
At a time when Techno music was new and mainly innocent, a spirit was born that gave rise to a cheerful culture of independent minded people, who were then reclaiming empty spaces for the sole purpose of pure pleasure. Through these places a unique vibe was created, embracing people with the lush abundant luxury of letting them feel at home, welcome and a part of a family. Heideglühen is such a place and arguably host to the hottest dance floor Berlin has got to offer. The people behind Heideglühen are doing the right things for the right reasons with a good spirit, a deep love and a passion to create those special moments. Woody, a true passionate DJ, gifted music producer and an icon of his own kind is the creative musical mastermind of Heideglühen whose vision sculpted the Heide into a cosy place for friends and music lovers. SUPARAW now is a new project of Woody with his friend Honesty (cabinet, slope). Both sat down in Woody´s Fumalab studio in Berlin X-Berg and captured a pure analogue, raw and uncut sound, that let´s you sense the lively charm of the magic Heideglühen mood putting it straight to vinyl. Normally whatever happens at Heideglühen stays at Heideglühen, but this love crafted debut record is your chance to tab into this particular vibe that makes people at Heideglühen stomp the floors down and dance the night away.
2 Cuts, strictly for the feet, 2 for the special moments, true to passion.

We all know and love Spacemen 3. We’ve been exchanging this recording since 30 years. We thought this was about time to release it properly. ... so instead of dealing with the impossible task of finding the words to describe how amazing this record is, let's just hear what Sonic Boom has to say about the release: I seem to remember this show more distinctly than most, and always did. Spacemen 3 was a band not overly loved in their day. It was tough, or at least uneasy. Musically people thought we were some sort of twisted joke. Which in some ways we were. You needed to be bloody-minded to make this music at that time. The set presented here, is as it was .... except the show was twice this length. We tuned and smoked for almost as long as we played. And then our disenfranchise moment, installed to filter the wheatfrom the chaff in our audiences – the sprawling SUICIDE wheeled out here in a long mischievous version. We slipped away mid song amongst much fog and dry ice. With taped down keys and feeding back guitars propped against our speaker cabs keeping the song pulsating and screaming. Disappearing
back down to the already too familiar dressing room. We rolled large smokes and cracked fresh drinks. And finally after an extended “break” re-appeared on stage. Not to wind down as normal at that juncture, but to re-fire up the piece for a further onslaught. Extending the maelstrom as bloody mindedly as we
could. We always 'sensed' when we were unwanted .... which was most the time we left the cosy confines of our white “sprinter” van. Never get out of the van .... fucking tigers! But then again .... maybe .... just maybe .... and it’s only a maybe .... maybe I don’t remember a thing. Sonic boom 2014

Info-
Cassegrain continue their empowering run of techno electronics with 'Centres of Distraction', their debut album on Prologue.
Leading us on a 10-track expedition into a wilderness of rugged, challenging sonics, the album marks the production duo's development from adventurous new-bloods to fully fledged Techno explorers.
Over the course of the last five years, Alex Tsiridis and Hüseyin Evirgen, now both firmly entrenched in Berlin, have created a heavily detailed rhythmic language of morphing synthesis, high end processing and club-chiseled production. A basis for much of their studio work, their controlled, hardware-focused live sets have brought them to a unique and respected position as showmen.
A nod to the classic 90s electronic album format - spanning a wide range of tempos and genres - 'Centres of Distraction' covers a lot of ground. After the opening club-ready syncopations of 'A Study Of Splashes', itself a warm and addictive cut, the duo set out on a new exploration in purist electronica, beginning with 'Resilin'. Morphing from abstract and reduced broken beats into a stirring melodic piece, it's the most song-structured we've heard them.
And so change and contrast are to continue as key themes. 'Centres' drops with its funky, off-centre lines and rattling percussion, to be quickly followed by the mighty 'Intrude - Restrain'. 'New Hexagon' charms us into a deep hypnosis with its percussive and rhythmic synthesis, highlighting the intricacies of the duo's drum programing.
The serene mid-tempo tones of 'Glasshouse' create yet another dramatic change in focus as a temporal, high-pressure and high-intensity atmosphere is built and then gently deconstructed. But Cassegrain also stands for high-end dance music, and 'Scythian' is perhaps the peak of the album in that respect. An unrelenting and timeless shock of electricity, the stuttering, frenetic energy winds its way around the heart of Cassegrain's current club sound.
Again dropping the tempo in search of refreshing alternatives, renowned Greek cellist Nikos Veliotis (of the Mohammad group on PAN, or In Trance 95 on Minimal Wave) contributes his growling, measured strokes to 'Empress Cut In Segments'. An intense soundtrack of sublime cacophonic peaks, once again tappng into a newly developed taste for melody and progressive structures.
The album approaches its end with 'Arcane', the type of psycho-techno that Cassegrain do so well - metallic lines overlapping and modulating to full effect - the tension palpable. This is the prelude to the beautiful 'Seldom Cloud' that sums up all of the more experimental, melodic studies found on the LP. Floating bells and ethereal bodies swarm in a fitting conclusion to the album.

If there's one thing Jonas Kopp has proven over the last decade is that he can turn his hand to just about anything. Since debuting on P?rter's revered MindTrip Music back in 2006, the Buenos Aires native has managed to rack up a rich and compelling discography, coursing with ease through electronic music's various forms. From warm Chicago house through to deep, dark and driving techno on labels like Deeply Rooted House, Stroboscopic Artefacts and more, Kopp's hypnotic and heady sentiment has remained the red thread throughout, which has allowed him to ?ourish as one of techno's more liberal dance ?oor purveyors. More recently, for Illian Tape he strayed out of the ring entirely to deliver two billowing, orchestral-sized ambient works; proof that there's still plenty more to come from someone already so well-versed and dexterous in his craft. It's high time then, that Jonas Kopp should present his ?rst full-length effort. "Beyond The Hypnosis" weaves Kopp's discursive repertoire into a single and concise narrative, covering both familiar ground and exploring new and spellbinding territories, along with just a hint of cosmic neo-retroism that makes this a welcomed edition to the Tresor catalogue. Despite having just a single release on the label so far, "X" featuring on DJ Hell's 2013 Kern Vol.2 compilation, Kopp has been a ?rm ?xture at the club since 2011. Jonas Kopp is the next in line of contemporary luminaries that Tresor proudly welcomes to the fold. "Beyond The Hypnosis" is a techno album as ambiguous and unrestrained as its astrological muse. This is Kopp at his most wayfaring with titles like "Seven" and "Green Square" showing off more of the producer's ?are for spacey, subaqueous music. There is of course plenty of ?oor-facing material as well, delivered with less stringent functionality than we've seen from him before. The perverted "Tau Ceti", for example, or the basement-dwelling single "Red Plented" have been tarnished with the same brush as this album's more dreamier moments, setting them apart from stand-along experiments to work collectively as a symbiotic and fully-?eshed whole.
