B1: She Put Me Under A Light Trance
B2: Overland Trip
Release info:
Between the vast flatlands of Western Ukraine and the Pacific shores of Vladivostok, a new quirky techno underground has been racking up hefty grid rhythms below the radar. Initially free from the weekend routines of the established club circuit, producers from Etapp Kyle to Stanislav Tolkachev have been experimenting with the possibilities of shifting grids in their post-socialist bedroom studios. The interconnecting conduit of these geographically isolated minds has often been the radio show of Nikita Zabelin, a Moscow-based DJ mining the local torrents for treasures.
Vladimir Dubyshkin is one premier example of how this culture yields wildly exciting finds. Listening to how sweepingly effective his de-centered vision of techno is, it's hard to believe that this actually is his first fully fledged vinyl release.
Hailing from Tambov, a city of 280.000 souls 460 km southeast of Moscow, Vladimir Dubyshkin is a regular of Zabelin's show and has contributed tracks to two compilations on Nina Kraviz's TRIP label - another major force in bringing great techno from the fringes of the former Soviet Union to the attention of the world.
The "For Various Reasons EP", coming in two separate installments, now shows the full picture of Dubyshkin's special talents. Highly energetic, rave-infested analog techno with de-tuned melodies rubbing against take-no-prisoners basslines. There is an intense emotional component present at all times, typically missing in Western grayscale techno. And once again, the great promise of participation of techno has been proved alive and well, with the freshest contribution coming from the least expected of places.

Sales Note
not many artists are able to develop a distinct sonic identity releasing just 5 solo records. through his selective output in the course of 5 years on nina kraviz's Trip, vladimir dubyshkin gained not only an army of loyal fans analysing his live sets for new music, he also inspired many who followed and continued to develop his unique sound.
his tracks, many of which became underground hits like "lady of the night", "ticket to childhood" or "russian porn magazine", always stand out and are immediately recognisable. be it weird syncopated euro dance reminiscent bangers with crazy vocal snaps or haunting hypnotic beauties on a techno side. his music always has that genius dubyshkin groove, a pinch of irony and the ability to make just anyone dance, from a small underground club to a huge festival dancefloor. this universal appeal ensures his tracks resonate across sound systems of all sizes, embedding themselves in the listener's consciousness long after the music stops.
on "ivanovo night luxe", his first double ep on Trip, vladimir sounds as amazingly unhinged as ever embarking on a surreal journey, from the eerie echoes of a haunted funfair ride to the core of a peak-time set.
"ivanovo night luxe" continues to captivate and intrigue, solidifying dubyshkin's standing as an artist of unwavering integrity and reminding us that sometimes 'less is more'. More

Info:
Layered asymmetry: With Alluvium, Stefan Goldmann explores new structural paths for machine
rhythm in irregular metres. Throughout the album, different non-binary patterns run simultaneously,
interlocking into twelve offerings of jagged polyrhythmic magic. Such a framework may juxtapose 11
on one axis, against 7 on another and 5 on a third – building stunningly iridescent edifices of
multidimensional time.
This is the third album in a series of "first principles" research of metric asymmetry. Veiki (2019) laid
the foundation for "real broken beat". Then, Vector Rituals (2022) explored the bending of grids in
order to yield idiosyncratic forms of organising time. Alluvium takes these two approaches and
expands them beyond their initial reach: Irregular patterns moving along parallel timelines within one
unifying grid. More

Info:
Acustica: For this acoustic sources-only mix, Stefan Goldmann cut up a vast library of recorded
interpretations of 20th century avant-garde compositions. Layered segments of individual instrumental
and chamber performances form emergent orchestral opulence – just to spill over into actual
orchestral segments. Goldmann has tackled acoustic archives before with his edit of multiple
recordings of Igor Stravinsky's 'Le Sacre du Printemps'. However, this mix traverses the disparities
and convergences of seven decades of score-based music with impressively results. A meta-level
polystylistic work that explores vast potentials of integration, interaction and interference. An antidote
to the prevailing practice of sounding compositions in scattered, sterile isolation. Here, opposing
concepts of music are channeled into one continuous flow, with a coherent DJ performance as the
vehicle. More

8. Everyday, 9. Afterdance, 10. Home, 11. Taking My Breath, 12. I'll Hold You
Info:
Less is more – the motto applies to Luxembourg's most intriguing newcomer Arthur Clees, whose
approach is minimalist, rich, hypnotic. Clees is a young prodigy drummer / percussionist / vocalist with
a multitude of performances and sessions under his belt. The 21-year-old musician manages to inspire
very different people with his tracks. No Wonder: There's both depth and a tremendous upward pull at
the same time.
In his debut album, "Stay, Temporary Home" influences from techno to electronica to the avant-garde
are paired with a distinctive feeling for melodies and a signature treatment of percussion. Soul and
R&B songs often appear as sonically distant yet emotionally close mirages. In addition, slightly altered
vocals, hearty yet reductionist beats and a detuned piano reminiscent of your favourite aunt's Sunday
cookies come in – a mixture that an incredible number of people can agree on at the moment.

cookies come in – a mixture that an incredible number of people can agree on at the moment.

Insight Piano: Within just a few years Tom Schneider moved the scope of the sampler as an
instrument into entirely unexpected zones of expression. On keyboards with pioneering cut-up pop
band KUF he developed a key-triggered vocal style that features no singers on stage. With trio Loom
& Thread he devised a new wave of digital improv where the sampler amplified the piano and
engaged the acoustic musicians in some sort of multidimensional musical chess.
'Isotopes' is Schneider's first solo album and witnesses him being an astonishingly sensitive and
imaginative pianist. The album's material was developed and recorded in an intimate session at Bauer
Studios of Ludwigsburg – a site laden with the history of some of the most significant recordings of
contemporary jazz. Yet things don't stop at bringing just another piano solo effort.
Schneider's approaches to the instrument, which range from tender hesitance to eruptive, clustered
attacks, merely set the starting point. These utterances are sampled and mirrored back, ultimately
rendering a unified performance which combines the depth of intricately executed composition with the
urgent immediacy of free improvisation.
Over the past decade we have witnessed a resurgence of apparently opposed trends: repetitive,
minimalistic sensitivity and dashing, complex virtuosity. The linear thinking that defines these
approaches as polar opposites turns out to be entirely useless when facing 'Isotopes.' Both, the
uninhibited speed of granular clouds of tones and the dense texture of multiple layered phrases fired
off all at once, require a complete reconceptualisation of the meaning of complexity in music. Yet
Schneider offers less of a tongue in cheek critique of the pretense usually inherent in virtuosic display
– instead, the playing field is being thoroughly leveled: Now, and really for the first time, a singular
tone potentially carries exactly as much weight as the peaks of physiological sophistication.
This is not at all what the axe-wielding avant-gardes of the past were after. What we are witnessing
here is a thorough de-ideologisation of the instrument: Neither traditions need to be shattered nor
innovation kept at the gates. In a world of zero-sum thinking (‘if you get to eat I must go hungry’), here
we find an integrative approach that shows that we can indeed lift up without simultaneously pulling
down. More

release info:
Death Ambient: Lucaslavia operates on the outer rings of metal, melting its constituent elements into
vicious torrents of fury. 'Furnace' resembles a field recording from the sixth circle of hell. Despite its
deceptively calm initial form, ancient hatreds seem to rage in violent currents just below the leaden
surface. Disembodied voices range from whispered malediction to screams of utmost anger, stretched
into purgatorial eternities. Gargantuan sonic fortification walls composed of drums, ripping sheets of
distorted guitar, hissing residue of steel and stone blasted apart build threatening levels of intensity.
The only deceptive respite comes from what appears to be the faint mechanical creaking emanating
from the inexorable and towering installations found in the engine rooms of boundless pain.
about Stefan Goldmann:
Lucaslavia was written and produced by Stefan Goldmann and mastered by Rashad Becker.
Stefan Goldmann has performed electronic music in 45 countries across six continents, with formats
ranging from DJ sets to a four-hour opera with ensemble and a room-spanning installation. He has
developed special formats for Berghain in Berlin, LACMA in Los Angeles and Kyoto's Honen-in
Temple and is currently artistic director of the Berlin Philharmonic's Strom Festival. More

info text:
Loom & Thread appear to present a take on this most classical of springboards of improvised music:
the piano trio. Indeed, Daniel Klein on drums and Tobias Fröhlich on double bass forge that highly
engaging, interlocking framework, set in complex juxtaposition to what emanates from the corner of
Tom Schneider on keys. This would be a superbly satisfying triangle of planar relational wonder on its
own. Imaginative re-adaptation of unexpected shifts, re-grouped into coherent streams of musical
thought. Superb clarity despite the pressurised density of form, the emergence of intricate order from
spontaneous play.
And yet this would be an utterly incomplete description. Because a dozen directions and dimensions
and interdependent layers open like trap doors all around, shattering any first impression of a familiar
context within just a few seconds of listening. What appears to be piano improvisation in the post-bop
tradition soon exhibits abrupt disruptions, impossible shifts, improbable repetitions, movements in
frequency and dynamics beyond the physical capabilities of a fixed-pitch instrument deemed so
familiar.
How so? Tom Schneider samples his own playing and continuously feeds it back into the ongoing
collective stream of the trio. Assigning starting points to the sampled phrases, these are then treated
as independent musical events just like the individual tones they contain: a second order of access is
created. Signifier and signified in the hands of the same musician, thus driving a two-pronged plane of
immanence.
This meta-improvisation is thrown at the other two players who now find themselves embroiled in
some kind of three dimensional chess game: fending off simulacra and responding to both,
idiosyncratic primary phrases of tones and a vibrant multitude of sampled variants. Reflexivity: the
piano/sampler continuum with its multi-layered access points to improvisational mapping is then
attacking and soothing and further teasing the appropriately angular rhythm section. A wondrous
dissolution of the divide between experiencing now and accessing memory. More

STEFAN GOLDMANN - Geared
Format: 7”
Tracklist:
E. Singing Wire
F. Geared
About:
This is the fnal chapter in a series of three 7" records which see Stefan Goldmann probing the upper
temporal reaches of techno. Clocking in at 150 bpm, these tracks are bold and blazing signals for a
collective return to highly energised club experiences. 'Singing Wire' is playfully swinging and feels
surprisingly natural and decelerated for what it is – while taking you decisively and rapidly to its farend destination. 'Geared' is raw voltage with all the sparks fying. More bouncy than harsh, these
tracks show impressively how diferent tempos allow for their own variety of joyful expression.
Beautifully packaged, all three 7"es come in a thick matte-black outer sleeve with front side cut outs
and refective-lacquer details, with individual colour-coded inner sleeves. Comes with download card. More

Info Text:
Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988) was an Italian composer and rather unusual pioneer of electronic music.
His works are neither based on traditional techniques nor do they resemble concepts of the 'new
music' avant-garde. He recorded improvisations on the ondiola (an early electronic instrument) to
magnetic tape, often in multiple layers. These recordings were then transcribed into scores by his
assistants – constituting the first attempt at sounding electronic music through acoustic instruments
and their players instead of loudspeakers.
SFERA is a dialogue between Jeremias Schwarzer's performances of some of Scelsi's most focused
and striking pieces for solo instruments and new electronic works by Stefan Goldmann. The two
groups of works exhibit polar opposition and unusual metaphorical proximity at the same time.
Goldmann's multi-faceted music exhibits shape-shifting capabilities as liquid as Scelsi's pieces for
ensembles or orchestra (such as Anahit or Uaxuctum). However, they make full use of the morphing
capabilities of contemporary synthesis, constructing multidimensional movements across a vast
parametric space.
Jeremias Schwarzer adapted most of Scelsi's works in this album for different kinds of recorder for the
first time. They form a baseline for Stefan Goldmann's overflowing electronics, which seem to grow out
of and fold back into it as if breathing. Thus a conceptual full circle is formed whose two tangents are
mirroring each other. More

Info:
In February 2020, the Philharmonie Berlin opened its gates for the first time in its history for a fully
blown electronic music program. Strom Festival continued for two days across three of the Berlin
landmark's jagged spaces. Stefan Goldmann had been invited to serve as the festival's artist-curator
and also performed its inaugural concert in the building's pentagonal Grand Hall. As much as this
event was without precedent for one of the world's leading classical music institutions, it is also an
uncannily typical match for Goldmann's rather unusual career path.
Though nominally techno, his music is distinguished by an ever-imaginative take on the form. From
exploring asymmetric rhythms to designing novel tuning systems to re-imagining the technological
base of electronic music – few have looked further beyond the genre's functional foundations.
Respectively, his music keeps appearing in contexts far removed from techno's club institutions –
featuring work with ensembles, dance companies, film makers and his own opera, as well as sitespecific performances at venues such as Kyoto's Honen-In Temple and LA's LACMA museum.
'Live At Philharmonie Berlin' is closely tailored to the Grand Hall, featuring a wealth of material
specifically developed to engage its architecture and acoustics. Apart from being a document that
brilliantly captures the Philharmonie's aural footprint with clear-cut synthetic probes, it also comes
close to being a retrospective of Goldmann's most striking formal ideas. Harking back to his early use
of wavetable synthesis for highly liquid units of pitch, timbre and dynamics, his recent
recontextualisations of industrial preset sounds and gradual shades of distortion fuse to shape the
soundscape of the one hour performance. These sounds then swirl through shifting microtonal grids
and freewheeling polyrhythms, solidifying into alien melodies, spiky transients and blocks of coloured
noise.

Info:
Electronic / acoustic wonder band KUF deliver a special surprise for their third album: eleven sizzling hot takes on tracks drawn from the Macro label's stellar catalog, as originally crafted by some of today's most respected artists in electronic music. KiNK, Patrick Cowley, Peter Kruder (of K&D), Stefan Goldmann, rRoxymore and more get the treatment. With a nod to the label's previous highly original compilations and mixes from the Macrospective and Vinylism series, Re:Re:Re captures more new ground.
KUF's previous albums presented an astonishing inversion of the typical extended electronic set up, in that they paired a plethora of disembodied, sampled voices with acoustic real time interaction on bass, drums and keys. Re:Re:Re shifts the focus of sampling altogether to scanning entire tracks and compositions which are then reimagined with the band's singular approach. Neither just remixes, nor faithful reproductions, KUF engage in careful sound archaeology. From re-programming key sounds to holistic granular deconstructions, the originals's sound palettes are reproduced to serve as a springboard towards entirely new instalments. The resulting tracks range from intimate ballads to full power dance floor movers, spanning a highly engaging arc of sheer listening pleasure.

INFO:
Stefan Goldmann's 'Veiki' is a bold foray onto new rhythmic ground for machine-based dance music. While Veiki's sounds appear firmly grounded in contemporary techno, its pulse is neither based on the 4/4 tradition nor on the breakbeat continuum. The metres employed here are distinctly asymmetric – i.e. they never add up to binary entities, but are odd-numbered instead. With patterns of 7, 9 or 11, they offer possibilities for dislocating the center of gravity not available to standard rhythmic fare. Thus this may represent one of the few systematic efforts to move slamming machine techno onto an alternative rhythmic foundation: Real broken beat.
Asymmetric / irregular metres are part of the ancient music tradition of the Eastern Mediterranean as well as of South Eastern Europe. The patterns employed here are also present in the traditional music of Bulgaria with which Stefan Goldmann grew up. Citing no other aspects and using no 'ethnic' samples, these tracks lead a way to resolving the problem of how to bring the tools and traits of cutting edge electronic music to alternative traditions of music, or vice versa. Structure over surface.
Of course irregular metres have been visited for structural exploration for Western musicians of different backgrounds, such as Don Ellis, Steve Coleman or Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit who have all developed highly distinguished and idiosyncratic approaches in relation to these. Thus a reduction of the phenomenon to its core and emergence as a clear-cut and reproducible form appeared imminent for at least two decades. The inexplicable surprise though is that despite the ongoing rhythmic differentiation of breakbeat and techno this obvious step seems to have never been taken decisively. Now here it is.
Vital Sales Points:
- Live premiere from Buenos Aires streamed by MUTEK (full professional video online)
- Recent DJ set at Boiler Room
- Extensive Global Promo by Modern Matters / Macro.
- Upcoming event Feb 2020: Stefan Goldmann curates “Strom Festival” for Philharmonie Berlin, (world-leading classical music institution) featuring Nina Kraviz, KiNK, Robert Henke, Ryoji Ikeda etc.

Info Text:
An Ardent Heart is a focused techno mini album that brings forward Stefan Goldmann's most dancefloor-centered material in a decade. The tracks push and pull relentlessly. Despite their linear appeal, there is an intricately balanced interplay between the heavy-handed kicks, the bouncy bass accents and the sizzling, yet clear-cut details whipped up by the rallying drums.
The peculiar, seemingly “vocalised” mode of synthesis is maybe the most unifying sonic characteristic of the six tracks and one coda. Formant shaping, vowel filters and airstream perturbations let a wide range of sounding elements speak in the tongues of a cybernetic Babylon. Layered polymetric patterns perforate the aural plane with alien scripts. Clearly structured, yet opaque messages that seem to have traveled for aeons emanate from the red-hot circuitry. They spill into a network of delays, channeled down into labyrinthine corridors, enveloped in electrostatic noise.
Most tracks build on chance patterns evoked with hardware sequencers and freeform modulation sources. The resulting synthetic systems are as cohesive as they exhibit vast internal variation and range. Thus balancing simplicity and complexity right in the middle, the results are just as immediately gripping as they can feed sustained attention. A wide palette of distortion and overtones mark the contours of individual elements that seem to have near-physical qualities – as if there were metallic strings, thick membranes, a resonating sphere, all struck by electric mallets, caused to vibrate by mechanical bows and sung by silicone lips.
Vital Sales Points:
- #1 in Groove Magazin best albums of July chart / 5 star review in Musikexpress
- DJ support from Marcel Dettmann, Chris Liebing, Laurent Garnier, Sigha, Marco Shuttle, Dax J, Jonas Kopp, Efdemin, Antigone, Norman Nodge, Ben Sims, Cassegrain, Etapp Kyle, Julia Govor

anno stamm - stammophorm
Tracks:
A. Stammophin
B1. Stammotan
B2. Stammophorm
Written & produced by Lars Stöwe. Mastered by Rashad Becker.
Info:
Anno Stamm is the revered 4/4 branch name of Berlin's Lars Stoewe. As Anstam he has been at the forefront of dark beat science, touring extensively with the likes of Moderat and Thom Yorke's Atoms For Peace and has appeared at festivals ranging from Mutek and CTM to Sonar and Dimensions.
'Annothek' is his second EP for Macro. The three tracks build on the same set of sound sources and offer three different views at their glowing core. Elastic basslines pierce through a bed of sweet and warm chords, surrounded by sizzling noise percussion. Definitely on the more introspective side, the three cuts offer a special emotional depth while maintaining a bit more than just enough oomph to get the action going. Late night and early morning are the possible settings. It's a declaration of tender love that comes with a gentle push towards the closest darkroom.

A1: Uhod
A2: Who's Your Daddy
B1: Treatment
B2: Symphony No.9
Release info:
Between the vast flatlands of Western Ukraine and the Pacific shores of Vladivostok, a new quirky techno underground has been racking up hefty grid rhythms below the radar. Initially free from the weekend routines of the established club circuit, producers from Etapp Kyle to Stanislav Tolkachev have been experimenting with the possibilities of shifting grids in their post-socialist bedroom studios. The interconnecting conduit of these geographically isolated minds has often been the radio show of Nikita Zabelin, a Moscow-based DJ mining the local torrents for treasures.
Vladimir Dubyshkin is one premier example of how this culture yields wildly exciting finds. Listening to how sweepingly effective his de-centered vision of techno is, it's hard to believe that this actually is his first fully fledged vinyl release.
Hailing from Tambov, a city of 280.000 souls 460 km southeast of Moscow, Vladimir Dubyshkin is a regular of Zabelin's show and has contributed tracks to two compilations on Nina Kraviz's TRIP label - another major force in bringing great techno from the fringes of the former Soviet Union to the attention of the world.
The "For Various Reasons EP", coming in two separate installments, now shows the full picture of Dubyshkin's special talents. Highly energetic, rave-infested analog techno with de-tuned melodies rubbing against take-no-prisoners basslines. There is an intense emotional component present at all times, typically missing in Western grayscale techno. And once again, the great promise of participation of techno has been proved alive and well, with the freshest contribution coming from the least expected of places.

Release info:
Rough techno versions, derived from Stefan Goldmann's synth-heavy 'A1' film soundtrack. Five cuts remixed into the mighty 4/4 grid (mostly). Free wheeling hardware synthesis and heavy-handed beats line up for concrete-blasting impact on 'Constructor' and 'A-Drive'. The B2's 'Spikes' is a more loose affair around a scintillating analogue synth riff. Contrastingly, 'Inward Slope' features a warped beat layout and wavetable splashes, sounding like a weeping robot fighting with a cat. 'Roadside Lot' is a soothing ambient FM tech tool. That's it. On to the next fifty.

Info:
Based on the eponymous play by brothers and author/performer team Tobi and Mike Müller at Schauspielhaus Zürich, Swiss experimental documentary film A1 traverses through time and space along Switzerland’s first and most elongated highway structure. Rich in archival sources, it sheds light on the costs and benefits of rapid movement: social, migratory and ecological patterns, economic and
military designs that are mostly not immediately obvious to the casual motorist.
Stefan Goldmann’s soundtrack engages the film’s multi-layered aesthetics full on, providing a dazzling array of short compositions. Profoundly synthetic in production, this free-wheeling phantasmagoria of peculiar, yet intensely likeable miniatures branches off into all directions – from minimalistic to overflowing, calm to banging, nightmarish to soothing. The visual patina of historic documents is playfully mirrored in intense distortion and noise artifacts, bound into rhythmic units and melodies formed of ghost notes. Finding ever new ways of mining his techno background to yield surprising new forms and ideas,
Stefan Goldmann has proven his abilities in a dazzling range of projects over the past years. Works for dance, ensembles, an opera and various object-based creations made him a natural choice for the job
of finding a refreshing way of linking sound and image. On its own, the music holds up by putting the listener on a high-velocity road trip of the curious mind. More
