On their self-titled debut album, the German-Indian project Hotel Kali present the results of what started as a brief residency for Theresa Stroetges a.k.a. Golden Diskó Ship in Kolkata and ended in her joining forces with double bass player Debjit Mahalanobis, synth enthusiast Varun Desai and the versatile songwriter Suyasha Sengupta. "Hotel Kali" is a living, breathing entity that theoretically picks up on many different musical traditions but in practice challenges them all. Four different individuals find a common ground somewhere between and far beyond cosmic rock, experimental dance music, and adventurous post-rock.

Short info:
"Sonic Healing" is the third full-length release by Martin Steer's Bad Stream project. While the concept was started by one person in response to a singular situation, it fully came to life as a product of collective imagination. For the album, Steer sent a single guitar loop to twelve musicians from the extended network of his ANTIME label who improvised with the recording, which was later collaged by Steer into a single, 39 minute long track that stylistically ranges from feverish jazz to brooding ambient and abstract electronica. Together with the Iranian artist Arash Akbari's vivid animations based on generative algorithms and real-time processing, "Sonic Healing" does not ask how one person can deal with turmoil in their life alone, but how we can create new forms of being together with art as a mediator.

Short info:
Having grown up with and on the internet, Martin Steer (1986) has transformed its pull into a concept album that is just as immediate and intangible as the digital world. Bad Stream is guitars and machines vanishing in the spaces between Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails only to reemerge amidst Ambient, Noise, and Drone. Bad Stream, then, is his modus operandi - a hybrid soundtrack to the feelings of resignation, isolation, and cynicism within neoliberal cyberspace and to that strangely numbing comfort of bodies transmuting into zeros and ones in real time.
_
"I look at my phone even when I play guitar," says Martin Steer, "and that isn't even entirely voluntary. The 2010s really changed my perception of how digital technologies and social media affect me as a musician. Through Bad Stream I want to make sense of this particular kind of anxiety, and to use sensory overstimulation as a way to develop an independent and progressive musical language."
_
The past seven years took Martin and his laptop and guitar from Berlin to Mexico and Nepal and, as a founding member of Frittenbude, into the German charts and to various festival stages. And yet, Bad Stream is a true "Berlin album," out of Friedrichshain, Neukölln, and Kreuzberg and will be released on Martin Steers own label ANTIME. It was recorded with real drums and programmed beats, with shoegaze guitars, acid baselines, piano, smartphone synths, violins, field recordings from the darknet and his voice, whose hopeless timbre conveys reflections on systems, the future, drugs, people, and his own place. In his ever expanding A/V live shows and in the music videos, this is supplemented by complex visuals.

Tracklist:
A01: Herzog On A Bus
A02: Hospital Floor
B01: Minus Planet
B02: Two Barrels Of Oil
B03: Corolla
Info:
With their debut LP Corolla for ANTIME, the Berlin-based trio Soft Grid captures the explosive energy of its
celebrated live shows. Soft Grid was started in 2014 in an abandoned hospital ward by Jana Sotzko (of Dropout
Patrol) and Theresa Stroetges (alias Golden Diskó Ship), who had previously been working together in the
improvisation project Epiphany Now. After their spontaneously composed and recorded tape release Stingrays
was issued through Berlin’s Twaague Records in the summer of 2015, the British drummer and producer Sam Slater
was recruited more or less directly from a Berlin dancefloor to join the band for live shows. He became a full
member in no time. Since then, the three-piece has shared stages around Germany alongside such diverse acts
as Des Ark, Milemarker, Messer, or even Tolouse Low Trax, and will head out for a tour in support of Corolla to
coincide with the record’s release in mid October.
Corolla is as much of an improvisational effort as their live shows: not really. Just like their gigs - which have all
members wandering around to take over duties on synthesizers, bass, guitar, viola, and microphones - Corolla is
a carefully mapped out, compositional whole, recorded live over two days in Salon Berlin by Sylvain Livache. It
showcases the trio’s taste for ventures into the realms of extreme acoustic sounds and electronic textures as well
as their knack for catchy hooks and driving rhythms. Even amidst the heaviest synth breakdowns, there’s
something joyful to cling to. Soft Grid make music that is continuously twisting and shifting, which immerses itself
in the steady flow of sonic events without losing focus. Anything goes on Corolla , and when it does, the
three head in exactly the same direction.
From the massive opening chords of »Herzog On A Bus« to the subtle Chicago-style Post-Rock influences on
»Hospital Floor« and the erratic finale which is the title track, Soft Grid create a musical narrative throughout their
debut LP which reflects its lyrical themes. While the lyrics of Corolla, themselves a collaborative effort, sample
everything from a Werner Herzog documentary to the eerie atmosphere of that hospital ward where the band
was born, there is at least one leitmotiv which ties them together: Soft Grid are first and foremost concerned with
moving forward. And they will. More

Info:
ˆL_ is the moniker of the Brazilian producer and sound artist Luis Fernando. Having released his debut
album »Love Is Hell« in 2014 through the Berlin-based ANTIME imprint, he also received attention
with a slew of remixes and contributed to several compilations, most notably »Hy Brazil Vol. 7« which
was hand-selected by Chico Dub, one of the most important figures in the Brazilian electronic music
scene. In 2015, ˆL_ embarked on a successful, two-week long Germany tour with his ANTIME label
mate AAAA and released the more dancefloor-orientated EP »The Outsider«, also through ANTIME.
Apart from his work as a producer, Fernando regularly hosts workshops on sound design with a focus
on film and radio works. Fernando started making music as a young teenager, citing bands like My
Bloody Valentine or Nine Inch Nails as inspiration for his first Shoegaze-leaning excursions in the
music world. As he grew older, his taste varied and his own output became increasingly eclectic.
Nowadays, ˆL_ works mostly digital and oscillates between film score-inspired sounds, acidic Techno,
Noise and abstract electronic music.
However heterogeneous ˆL_’s music might be in terms of stylistics, Fernando cunningly manages to
weave all elements together into integrally closed narratives full of unforeseeable twists which follow a
well thought out logic. The prolific Brasília-based producer furthermore creates continuity through his
unmatched sensitivity when it comes to sampling. Fernando, who has researched and taught about
the art of sampling, has built up an impressive archive and regularly immerses himself in his
surroundings for field recordings. The result of his relentless pursuit is inscribed deeply into his music,
which always unmistakably sound like ˆL_, whether it is a hard-hitting 130 bpm Techno belter or a
richly textured IDM track with Jazz and Noise elements thrown in for good measure.
Fernando was raised in a strongly Catholic family which triggered within him a disdain for religion and
the social injustice caused by it. Thus, his music, apart from psychological and literary topics, often
critically explores religious and philosophical themes. Although predominantly instrumental, the music
he makes under the moniker ˆL_ relies heavily on Fernando’s sampling techniques which – apart from
resulting in his distinctive sound signature – allow him to incorporate external references in his work.
ˆL_’s music is hence substantially informed by literature, film and philosophy, which is also reflected in
the tracks’ titles. Fernando thereby provides a complex paratext to his sound art which thusly can be
approached from various different perspectives. Not only does ˆL_ transcend musical boundaries, his
work can also not simply be reduced to sound alone.
ˆL_ (Luis Fernando) is a producer of Eletronic Music from Brasília whose eclectic sound signature is
primarily shaped by his unique sampling techniques. More

Short info:
AAAA's debut album "Shiva Watts" sounds both vivid and complex, capturing the raw energy of the Mexican producer's praised live performances at Mutek, Boiler Room and elsewhere. It is a direct result of tireless, disciplined experimentation with analogue hardware. The 16 tracks on "Shiva Watts", which is available for the first time ever on vinyl through the Berlin-based ANTIME label, take their cues from a variety of musical styles, most notably Acid, combining elements of hard-hitting Techno, textural IDM, dry-but-funky Electro and trance-inducing House with lush Ambient-leaning interludes. "Shiva Watts" is an album which celebrates stylistic and emotional ambiguity; which provides the perfect soundtrack for a world yet to come - and everything that will follow after that.

It is a direct result of tireless, disciplined experimentation with analogue hardware. The 16 tracks on "Shiva Watts", which is available for the first time ever on vinyl through the Berlin-based ANTIME label, take their cues from a variety of musical styles, most notably Acid, combining elements of hard-hitting Techno, textural IDM, dry-but-funky Electro and trance-inducing House with lush Ambient-leaning interludes. "Shiva Watts" is an album which celebrates stylistic and emotional ambiguity; which provides the perfect soundtrack for a world yet to come - and everything that will follow after that.

Short info:
André Wittmann's debut album under the moniker Spur was made with both the body and the mind in order to indulge in an odd but somehow familiar "dance of cultures" as the young Lübeck-based Bavarian calls it himself. "I find it disturbing to see how all those fields of music are still strictly separated until this day. I'd rather see them all combined", he explains the idea behind "Nowhereland" which compiles a selection of the best cuts out of 20 to 30 compositions Spur perfected them during a month-long stay in Ghent in early 2014. On "Nowhereland", semingly odd time signatures form the backbone of what are essentially club-orientated tracks. Spur, who started playing drums as child, took to other instruments like guitar, marimba, violin and piano and whose influences range from Hip Hop to Stravinsky and Flamenco or Gamelan, approaches songwriting both theoretically and intuitively. "I aim at putting the mind and the body in motion", he sums up the idea behind the uniquely odd but somehow familiar "Nowhereland".

Short info:
Kalipo is Jakob Häglsperger from Berlin who devotes himself to experimental electronica. His debut album Yaruto follows a series of remixes and contributions to compilations released by Antime and Stiff Little Spinners. On it, Häglsperger tries to create a both unique and timeless sound that takes cues from dance music, downbeat and Gamelan traditions alike. Making use of his wide array of analogue synthesizers, a Rhodes piano, a metallophone and guitars, Häglsperger is creating the abstract narrative of an impersonal biography by creating moods that correspond with certain stages of life as well as chopped up vocal samples.

Fontarrian's debut effort for Berlin-based label ANTIME offers a glimpse into a fragile yet eclectic spectrum consisting of loopy vocal bits, slowly unwinding washes of dream-like ambience, distinctively (s)tumbling almost jazzy percussions and an ever-present, blissful warmth. The latter emanates from and sucks you into what seems to be a world of its own. Like a lo-fi attempt at capturing momentary twists of the heart through 10 significantly diverse tracks - imperfect nonetheless - the album feels like a mixtape you've set out to record for someone special, but somehow never got around to.

Antime a young Berlin based label founded by Martin Steer (Frittenbude/Pandoras Box/Midimum) presents the V2 compilation, the first official vinyl release from a crew that has devoted itself to the different genres and varieties in electronic music for quite some time. The sampler's 6 tracks reflect the varied musical influences and tastes of a circle of old friends that span from Techno, glitchy Synth/Sampling Electronica, House to classical band music, post somestep elements, Downbeat, and Experimental. Antime sees itself as a musical playground, an interactive interface between club and couch, loud nights and lazy afternoons, inside and outside, seriousness and insanity and deliberately keeps its ears open to the whole spectrum of sounds and moods that the world holds for us. The Vinyl Compilation artists include two members of German electropunk outfit Frittenbude: Kalipo pays tribute to his collection of moog synthesizers on his - aptly titled -banger "The Tribute", the other one - Midimúm -sends you on a trip with his epic-schizophrenic Synthtec precursor and title track of his soon to be released debut "Junk Beach". Vienna based Andreas Buchner contributes with "DA14" hypnotic and playful electronica while Abigail from Leipzig shines with his UK bass influenced track "Elevator". Sebastian Dali delivers classical inspired Pianohouse and Owlet´s "Lightning" sets the very first morning lights to music. The compilation represents the electro-acoustic checksum of a spaced out and debonaire crew that has found a musical home. It anticipates the sound of summer and gives you a notion of what there is about to be released in the near future.

Dubfire - Dark Matter (Maral Remix)
Single 4
Tracklist:
Dubfire - Swerve (Mathimidori Remix)
Dubfire - Dark Matter (Maral Remix)
EVOLV is a visionary window into the mind of Dubfire, the journey of the ‘hybrid’ being and its evolution. Last year in October, an 11-track debut album was released on his long-standing SCI+TEC imprint. And now, just over a year later, Grammy award winning producer Dubfire returns to that sonic discourse, drafting in an impressive array of names to re-interpret the material, and accompanied by Dubfire's new audio-visual EVOLV show which picked up where the critically acclaimed electronic performance experience HYBRID had left off.
The eclectic package will include such notables as Glaskin, Arjun Vagale, Nadia Struiwigh, Mathimidori (dub alias of Mathias Kaden), Maral, Decka, Carl Craig, Truncate, Drumcell, Chris Liebing, Radio Slave and Luke Slater who have all given the original music in their own unique style.
With a career spanning over 3 decades, Dubfire has achieved global success as an artist with relentless drive, talent, and intuition. Pioneering commercial notoriety came initially as one half of the Grammy Award-winning (2001) duo Deep Dish, before embarking on a truly groundbreaking solo career in 2007. A career filled with timeless tracks include his early works, ‘RibCage’ (2007), ‘Emissions' (2007), ‘Roadkill’ (2007) and the highly acclaimed ‘Grindhouse’ (2009) remix from Radio Slave which led to a host of other notable projects over the years.
Collaborative work highlights include projects with Miss Kitten, Luke Slater, Flug, and Oliver Huntemann, as well as co-producing two songs on Underworld’s Barking album. A true artist, he has always been heavily invested in exploring performance technology, unveiled to wide praise with his HYBRID live show. A two-year world tour commenced in 2015 and was followed by his retrospective album, A Decade Of Dubfire (2017), a celebration of his immense output during the first 10 years of solo artist stardom. EVOLV is Dubfire’s debut solo artist album.

About:
Walker & Royce have released their highly-anticipated sophomore album No Big Deal out now via Dirtybird Records.
Embarking on a four-part mission to bring the party back to dance music, Walker & Royce have embraced the boisterous, unruly nature of their over-the-top signature to deliver 10 non-stop anthems. A highly collaborative body of work, No Big Deal features a colorful collection of characters including comedian/ musician Reggie Watts, Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum selling artist James Patterson (and 1/2 of the electronic duo The Knocks), peak-time queen VNSSA, Grammy-nominated vocalist Barney Bones, and more.
From the tongue-in-cheek lyricism of ‘I Don’t Remember’ and ‘Might Just’ to the overzealous charisma imparted on tracks like ‘Motivashun’ and ‘Fatalistic Groove’, No Big Deal boasts the sense of humor and lightheartedness that Walker & Royce have brought to countless dance floors throughout their career. The album is hallmarked by the kaleidoscopic elements of their dance music roots: catchy vocals, playful melodies, thumping basslines, and relentless four-on-the-floor percussion.
No Big Deal is a wondrous homage to the weird and wacky tropes that have distinguished Walker & Royce’s no-holds-barred style for more than a decade. An auditory yearbook cataloging Walker & Royce’s sonic inspirations from their early days in New York City’s 90s underground raves to the Dirtybird BBQs and Campouts where they found their home, No Big Deal is a victory lap for Walker & Royce as they cement their status as headliners and hitmakers.
No Big Deal is a reminder to enjoy the ‘Cheap Thrills’ that life presents, to ‘Get Down Down’ and adopt a motto like ‘Let’s Live It Up’.
2xLP, Gatefold Jacket, Picture Disc, cut at 45rpm. First pressing limited to 500 copies.

Dubfire - CHALLNGR 1.1 (Arjun Vagale Remix)
Single 1
Tracklist:
A Dubfire - Escape (Glaskin Remix)
B Dubfire - CHALLNGR 1.1 (Arjun Vagale Remix)
EVOLV is a visionary window into the mind of Dubfire, the journey of the ‘hybrid’ being and its evolution. Last year in October, an 11-track debut album was released on his long-standing SCI+TEC imprint. And now, just over a year later, Grammy award winning producer Dubfire returns to that sonic discourse, drafting in an impressive array of names to re-interpret the material, and accompanied by Dubfire's new audio-visual EVOLV show which picked up where the critically acclaimed electronic performance experience HYBRID had left off.
The eclectic package will include such notables as Glaskin, Arjun Vagale, Nadia Struiwigh, Mathimidori (dub alias of Mathias Kaden), Maral, Decka, Carl Craig, Truncate, Drumcell, Chris Liebing, Radio Slave and Luke Slater who have all given the original music in their own unique style.
With a career spanning over 3 decades, Dubfire has achieved global success as an artist with relentless drive, talent, and intuition. Pioneering commercial notoriety came initially as one half of the Grammy Award-winning (2001) duo Deep Dish, before embarking on a truly groundbreaking solo career in 2007. A career filled with timeless tracks include his early works, ‘RibCage’ (2007), ‘Emissions' (2007), ‘Roadkill’ (2007) and the highly acclaimed ‘Grindhouse’ (2009) remix from Radio Slave which led to a host of other notable projects over the years.
Collaborative work highlights include projects with Miss Kitten, Luke Slater, Flug, and Oliver Huntemann, as well as co-producing two songs on Underworld’s Barking album. A true artist, he has always been heavily invested in exploring performance technology, unveiled to wide praise with his HYBRID live show. A two-year world tour commenced in 2015 and was followed by his retrospective album, A Decade Of Dubfire (2017), a celebration of his immense output during the first 10 years of solo artist stardom. EVOLV is Dubfire’s debut solo artist album.

Hardway Bros ft. Beth Cassidy - Murky (Beyond The Wizards Sleeve Re-Animation)

Hardway Bros ft. Beth Cassidy - Murky (Coral Way Dub Mix)
Hardway Bros teams up with Beth Cassidy on Rekids for a timeless ode to the legendary Murk Records The release includes a ‘coral way’ dub mix and a remix by Erol Alkan and Richard Norris’ Beyond The Wizards Sleeve. Sean Johnston is the man behind Hardway Bros, an alias well known for wobbly, downtempo, and synth-laced disco jams which have appeared on the likes of Is it Balearic? Whiskey Pickle, and Throne of Blood over the last decade. On this single, which is a love letter to legendary early 90s label Murk Records, Johnston links with vocalist Beth Cassidy, known for her work as part of Manchester’s Sea Fever and Section 25. Hardway Bros’ wonderful 'Murky' is deep and sensual house music. The vocal brings sultry charm, unfolding in soulful style over whimsical ambient pads and chunky drums. It oozes with character and harks back to actual songwriting of days gone by. Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve is an alias of dance music pioneers Erol Alkan and Richard Norris. It was established to bring psyched-out, acid touches to the dance floor and has resulted in a critically acclaimed album on Alkan’s Phantasy Sound and much more. Their excellent Re-Animation is eight minutes of drawn-out disco chug, loose grooves and masterful chord work. Up last is a Coral Way dub that strips things back to the beats, layers in plenty of cosmic FX, and lets your imagination run wild on the tripped-out synth leads that pan between the stars.

Repress!
Physically and mentally draining in the best way possible, Wet Will Always Dry is maybe the most complete statement from Blawan to date, and as such should be ignored at your peril. This becomes evident from the album-opening “Klade,” a dizzying, tumbling flight of pure energy over overlapping fields of electrified menace. This sets the stage for “Careless,” which retains the hazardous, crackling atmosphere but dials back the intensity just enough to make room for a new feature, Blawan’s eerie and disembodied vocals.
“Tasser” ratchets up the tempo and the frenetic energy yet more, slinging chunks of audio shrapnel and grinding factory noise over the kick-heavy beat, only letting up the tension every now and then for a convulsive breakdown. By the arrival of “Vented,” a more steady, cycling groove has set in along with the accompaniment of suspenseful melodic swells, but the element of surprise is far from gone: there still seem to be spectral entities lurking around every corner, and there’s no shortage of intriguing tumbril weirdness blowing around the imaginary streets that this track conjures up.
The slamming “North” keeps alive the record’s persistent, darkly humorous feeling that things are about to go off the rails at any moment, using wildly contorted sequences and granular debris to shift between total abandon and regimented strictness. A moment of relative calmness, along with the return of the atmospheric vocals, comes about with “Stell,” a faintly dubby track that leaves an impression like watching streams of traffic progress underneath rolling, deep grey clouds.
“Kalosi” brings back the percussive motif of “Tasser” and “North,” this time partnering it with loops that bring to mind radioactive bass strings. “Nims” then shuts things down with infectious harp-like sequences, fuzz-shrouded percussion and an ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ mentality towards filtering and processes which will get the attention of all but the most jaded soundhead.
