In 1974, Cluster entered the sugar era. This doesn"t mean that they had finally arrived in their promised land, but they had simply moved from Berlin to the country, to a small place called Forst on the river Weser. Many a thing had changed for band members Moebius and Roedelius since Cluster II: They had moved from boisterous Berlin to this calm rural village, they had founded the band Harmonia, had set up their own studio and had bought new equipment. As a result of this and many other things, new impulses were noticeably spurring the evolution of their music. The album Zuckerzeit ("sugar era") launched a revolution for Cluster. More

Conrad Schnitzler (1937-2011), composer and concept artist, is one of the most important representatives of Germany"s electronic music avant-garde. A student of Beuys, he founded Berlin"s legendary Zodiak Free Arts Lab, a subculture club, in 1967/68, was a member of Tangerine Dream (together with Klaus Schulze and Edgar Froese) and Kluster (with Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius) and also released countless solo albums. The blue album ("Blau") from 1974 was Schnitzler"s second solo LP More

Ja, Panik sind zurück! Während das letzte, experimentellforschende und in viele Richtungen mäandernde Pop-Album "Die Gruppe Ja, Panik" (2021) ihr überraschendes Comeback nach siebenjähriger Kreativpause markierte, ist "Don"t play with the rich kids" nun so etwas wie ihre Rückkehr als RockBand. Als die Gang aus dem Burgenland, die sich spätestens seit "The Angst And The Money" (2009) in unser aller Herzen gespielt hat. Wir sehen Stefan Pabst, Sebastian Janata, Laura Landergott und Andreas Spechtl auf dem Cover-Foto sanft umhüllt von einem Tuch am Strand von Nirgendwo. Es hält die Band nach innen zusammen und weist gleichzeitig eine klare Grenze nach außen: Wir sind hier, und Du bist da! Und es scheint nahezu unmöglich, in diesen inner circle hineinzukommen. Eleganter lässt sich das weltweit grassierende Klassismus-Problem wohl kaum darstellen. wohl auch irgendwann einmal mit auf den Weg gegeben. Während Ja, Panik früher das System immer wieder von innen heraus zerstören wollten, mit sehr viel Glam und lustvoll vorgetragener Autoaggression, haben sie ihre Marke noch einmal gründlich relaunched, um es im Werbe-Sprech der 90er-Jahre zu formulieren. Ihr Nihilismus made in Austria als Grundgefühl ist immer noch wichtiger Markenkern, aber er wird nun wesentlich reflektierter vorgetragen. Und das inzwischen ganz selbstverständliche Mitverhandeln der eigenen Privilegien scheint die Band in ihren neuen Songs regelrecht zu beflügeln. Denn diese Rich Kids sind schließlich auch sie selbst. Davon lässt sich selbstbewusst erzählen. Wobei das natürlich unbedingt im globalen Maßstab zu sehen ist. Wir alle wissen, was eine vierköpfige, linkspolitische Indie-Rock-Band zwischen Berlin und Wien mit ihrer Musik so verdient. Und auch wenn laut Spechtl nach wie vor "1.000 Kämpfe in seinem Körper kämpfen", von denen er nach eigener Feststellung keinen einzigen je gewinnen kann, scheint ihm seine neue Rolle als Zen-Rocker und selbsternannter Kung-Fu-Fighter umgeben von seinen alten Bandkolleg:innen in ausgezeichneter Form sehr gut zu tun. Tja, viele Menschen in ihrem Alter besitzen inzwischen ein Haus in Brandenburg oder eine Eigentumswohnung in Berlin, aber wer kann sich schon Mitglied der Gruppe Ja, Panik nennen? Kulturelles Kapital, von dem viele Menschen nicht mal zu träumen wagen. More

Kreidlers siebte Langspielplatte für Bureau B ist eine Affaire elektronischer Popmusik genährt in Jetztzeit-Clubs und wurzelnd in rheinischem Kraut, britischem Post-Punk (mit einem Hauch NYC und Brüssel) und internationaler Polyrhythmik. Im dreißigsten Jahr der Bandgeschichte hat "Düsseldorfs zweitberühmteste Band" (Boomkat) auf Twists (a visitor arrives) auf vier von neun Stücken mit den Gästen Khan Of Finland, Maxim Bosch, Natalie Beridze und Timuçin Dündar zusammengearbeitet; die Covergestaltung legten sie in die Hände von Fette Sans.

Im Schatten von Neo-Kraut und Diskurs-Pop wuchs in den letzten 10 Jahren im Unterholz deutscher Klangtopographien fast unbemerkt ein sonderbares Myzel aus dem Boden. Aus diesem unterirdischen Geflecht treten eine Handvoll Projekte mit so geheimnisvollen und poetischen Namen wie Brannten Schnüre, Baldruin, Kirschstein, Freundliche Kreisel und Balint Brösel hervor. Die Compilation "Gespensterland" archiviert und anthologisiert erstmalig ihre magischen Arbeiten, die an der Grenze zwischen Folklore, experimenteller Elektronik und (Alb- )Traum operieren und besitzt als Zeitdokument schon jetzt das Potential, die Strahlkraft von Kultsamplern wie etwa Pordenones "The Great Complotto" zu entwickeln

Renowned acid cosmologist Johannes Auvinen, best known by his alias Tin Man, leaves the club floor behind for a full-length kosmische excursion on Bureau B. Since his first Tin Man records nearly 20 years ago, Auvinen has impelled acid—in the grand tradition of Phuture and co.—into shapes and forms heretofore uncharted. He does it again on his latest, "Arles," exploring a new realm of impressionistic beauty where pristine, heartfelt melodies dance delicately atop austere motorik rhythms. It's a trip you'll want to take again and again.

This is for all those that missed out on the limited edition box set release. They collect together music recorded at the band"s studio - a converted schoolhouse in rural Wümme between 1971 and 1974 in a similar vein to the way in which "The Faust Tapes" (released in 1973) was assembled. These two albums range from minimal electronic pulses, ambient dreamscapes, vocal collages to heavy drone, ritualistic percussion and psychedelic grooves. Highlights include the hypnotic space jams of "Vorsatz" and "Rückwärts Durch Die Drehtür", the delicate acoustics of "I Am... An Artist" and the radiophonic workship-esq "Weird Sounds Sound Bizarre".

Stefan Schwander hat bereits eine unglaubliche Fülle an Musik geschaffen und ist ein fester Bestandteil auf der berüchtigten Achse um den Düsseldorfer Salon Des Amateurs. Mit seinem Projekt Harmonious Thelonious erforscht er seit mittlerweile 12 Jahren die Welten von panafrikanischen, südamerikanischen und nahöstlichen Rhythmen in Kombination mit einem minimalistischen Electronic-Sound, aus deren Zusammenspiel er mittlerweile seinen ganz eigenen Groove destilliert hat. Für sein neues Album mit dem herausfordernden Titel "Cheapo Sounds" wendet sich Schwander von bereits erprobten Rezepten ab. Eine musikalische Neuausrichtung, die zunächst in der Veränderung der Produktionsweise selbst begründet liegt: So ist die gesamte Platte unter Verwendung nur eines Instruments entstanden, der Monomaschine, die den Klang der 10 Stücke mit ihren sehr physischen Sounds erheblich prägt. Es stehen nicht mehr polyrhythmische Tracks im Vordergrund des Geschehens, sondern das Verweben von mehreren Melodien und Akkorden über einem Grundgerüst von spröden, simplifizierten Beat-Konstrukten und schroffen Basspulsen. Bei genauem Besehen ist dies mitunter eine neue Vision einer alten Herangehensweise: Standen in Schwanders Proberaum zwar auch alte Verstärker, die primitive Rhythmusbox, die programmierbare Drummachine oder Synthesizer wie MS-20, kamen diese jedoch auf "Cheapo Sounds" nicht zum Einsatz. Allerdings ist die Idee, mit der dieses Instrumentarium assoziiert wird, eng mit der DNA dieses Albums verwoben. Als der New Wave den Punk und die letzten Rockismen abgelöst hatte, entstand jener spezielle, neue Geist, den Stefan Schwander in den neuen Stücken einfangen wollte. Eine WavePlatte mit dem Verständnis von Techno. Und tatsächlich ist es ihm gelungen, damit auch den Bogen zu der grundlegenden Idee des Projekts Harmonious Thelonious selbst zu schlagen: Eine Art von Dance-Musik, die wie eine gute Clubnacht nicht nur zu einer schablonenhaften Formel verkümmert oder GenreErwartungen bedient, sondern das Publikum herausfordert und in sich sowohl Jazz, Krautrock, Industrial, Punk, Dub und Disco verhandelt.

TIP!

Without a doubt, To Rococo Rot are an exception within the German music landscape. From 1995 until they broke up in 2014, the group around Robert Lippok, Ronald Lippok and Stefan Schneider researched a unique sound between electronica, ambient, post-melancholy and the further development of a new, free music like krautrock. Pitchfork described their sound as "unmistakably digital, yet 100% human" (unverkennbar digital und doch 100% menschlich).
With releases on labels such as Kitty-Yo, City Slang and Mute Records as well as concerts worldwide, the band has built a remarkable reputation. The trio was invited three times by John Peel to record radio sessions in the BBC studios.
Bureau B is pleased to make the recordings from these three sessions from the years 1997 and 1999 available on record for the first time, which, in addition to the live versions of selected album tracks, also contains exclusive, unreleased songs. More

The German pioneer of electronic music Conrad Schnitzler
(1937-2011) amassed a vast archive of sounds for use in
combination with each other in live performances. In 2011 the
idea came up of con-structing new compositions, not remixes,
from this material. The Con-Struct series was born. This release
features con-structions by Baal & Mortimer who writes about it
in the linernotes: It was exciting to break open existing
material, peeling something out of the past and thus
transgressing it and opening portals. Or like Wolfgang Seidel, a
fellow musician of Schnitzler, quoted to me from Schnitzler"s
archive: "Music is not the sound waves that reach our ears, but
what we make of them." Wer ist Conrad Schnitzler Conrad
Schnitzler (1937-2011), Komponist und Konzeptkünstler, ist
einer der wichtigsten Vertreter deutscher ElektronikmusikAvantgarde. Er studierte bei Joseph Beuys, gründete 1967/68
den legendären Berliner Subkultur-Club Zodiak Free Arts Lab,
war Mitglied bei Tangerine Dream (mit Klaus Schulze und Edgar
Froese) und Kluster (mit Hans-Joachim Roedelius und Dieter
Moebius) und veröffentlichte unzählige Soloalben. Über Baal &
Mortimer Seit 2014 ist Baal & Mortimer das Projekt von
Alexandra Grübler, welches musikalisch und sprachlich an
Fragen von Widerstand, Autonomie, Materie und Spekulation
forscht. Das Debütalbum "Deixis" wurde 2020 auf Bureau B
veröffentlicht und die EP "The Torso Tapes" 2021 auf ITALIC. Im
selben Jahr veröffentlichte sie die 7"" Single "And the Sky gave
up the Dead" für die Ausstellung "Journey through a Body" in
der Kunsthalle Düsseldorf. Nach einem Master in
Kunstwissenschaften und Philosophie lebt Baal & Mortimer
derzeit in Berlin, in den Räumen zwischen Klang, Sprache und
Körper. Baal & Mortimer hat mit Black Merlin, Musiccargo und
Rupert Clervaux zusammengearbeitet und war 2018 Mentee
von Laurel Halo im Berliner Amplify Programm.

Repress!

Earth, Wind & Fire are obviously one of the greatest bands of all-time and both of these remixes are works of art in their own right. On the A side we have the much in-demand Blaze 'Shelter' remix of "Fantasy" which stretches this classic to 8.55 and finishes with an unbelievable Phillip Bailey acappella. As though that wasn't enough we've put the much sought-after Masters At Work remix of "Can't Hide Love"
a staple record since its debut in 2002.

Somehow Klasse Wrecks has made it to 50 official releases, not bad for a label that wears its ignorance for others and 'the norm' proudly on its dirty sleeve. Over the years the label has released a multitude of various sounds, spanning bleep, rave, deep house, down tempo and the 50th release does well to encapsulate that free spirit and openess. Without much planning and totally by way of coincidence the responsibility lies with label co-owner Luca Lozano and its sonically a typical mixed bag as to be expected. Kicking off with restless acid stomping, the title track barges through the door...knocks over a few drinks before blossoming into a breakdown that propels the 303 deep into space and back again. On the A2, Lozano shows off his love for creaky breakbeats and DX donks on a track called 'Re-Mix'...which as far as we know isnt a remix of anything at all. The flip contains more raving beauties, 'Save Me From The Rave' might be a desperate plea but by the sounds of it he's still enjoying the madness, the producer makes an epic breakdown that might well signify the end of all Trance homages. Then the final track of the EP sounds like it could be played in a field in Glastonbury in 1993, its haunting vocal harmonies signify the sun is coming up soon and likely that we're about to start Chapter 2 of the Wrecks Wrebellion. The special edition sleeve artwork features examples of previous artwork from the last 50 records, overlaid in a typically chaotic manner by the label's designer, PLANETLUKE.COM. More

NU PORT 62 is the new project from Italian veteran DJs and producers Claudio Ricotti and Davide Domenella (Double Dee). With more than 30 years’ experience they have joined forces to create a modern nu disco duo. On the A side you’ll find ‘When Love Is Over’, marrying beautiful vocals with a catchy "Philly" groove topped off with an incredible saxophone solo. Edited by Micky More & Andy Tee, this version is exclusively available on vinyl.

Flip it over for ‘Make It Happen’, characterized by a hypnotic synth groove, euphoric vocals loops and a pumping bassline. Quality dance music for those that like to get down. More

Originally released in 1992 on Muzak, an Italian label founded by Leo Mas, Fabrizio Lazzari and Andrea Gemolottoand, which was fundamental in establishing a new Italian dance floor electronic sound in the early 90s strongly intertwined with US influences from what was happening in Detroit and New York at the time. Officially re-issued with new remix of "Fearless" by Berlin based Trent, stripping down the feisty banger from its breakbeat elements and implementing a new Acid feel to it. More

Pickled People - We all know a few of those, but how many of them were turning out bare bones, stripped & funked out rolling tech-house back in 1996? Not many we reckon! Well, except for the dynamic duo of Terry Francis & Jiten Acharya, ably assisted by the man Bushwacka aka Matthew B on mixdown & engineering duties. This self-titled 12" you have here in your hands is a rare diamond, another set of smooth and acidic jams from London's potent tech-house underground, a rich and rewarding scene, one that is back with a vengeance today with discerning selectors from around the globe tuning into what was making clubs move here in the capital pre-millenium. The beauty of these super rare and expensive to obtain tracks is that they seem to be made with both the DJ and the dancer in mind, meaning - they are fun to mix and blend and drop long arse 10 minutes blend with without ever being boring, AND they are sure as hell fun to dance to in the darkened corners of whatever space you're lucky enough to find yourself in. Not short on the old Funk, this is premier league shit right here, from the dons. Proper subterranean business from that London town. Sure to be in your bag for the next 20 years n'all!

Terry Francis' name is synonymous with London's mid 90's to early noughties underground Tech-House heyday. A longtime underground DJ and tastemaker who has graced the booth in every major club you'd care to mention, Francis was also a prodigious producer and label owner who found himself working alongside the infamous SWAG mob and heading up the now seminal labels 'Wiggle' and 'Eye 4 Sound' labels. With a fervent international DJ schedule and numerous productions appearing all over the place, a residency at Fabric, major label remixes piling up and everything else in-between, Francis' name has been solidified as a bonafide UK legend, a force to be reckoned with. Let's rewind to 1999, Surreal Records, a subsidiary of SWAG, 'Took From Me' drops and is an instant classic.... even now, a decade later, it's a record that peels the roof off a night-club (in the right hands, of course!) It's all here inside 'Took From Me', the sparse, chopped up drum programming, ominous floor-shaking basslines and weirdly warped vocal samples that make you wonder. B-side see's the equally sparse yet compelling 'Clint's Groove' spreading out over one whole side of wax, it's all filtered rolling drums, aquatic sirens and a monstrous bassline that could easily swallow London town whole! Insanity! This one will easily slide into your record for months, if not years. Essential transmissions from London's underbelly, often imitated..... More
