Santiago Salazar, ladies and gentlemen! Member of Underground Resistance, producer of Los Hermanos, recording artist for Planet E. A biography made in heaven. Macro pulls the most incredible people these days and there's a method to the madness: "Arcade" immediately shows why Santiago is known to be one of Detroit's most forward thinking producers and DJs. The chords! The hook! The synths! The drums! Finally an anthem that's 0% retro and 100% euphoria. Leaving the recent fashions behind, "Arcade" spreads all the warmth and enthusiasm one could dream of this year. This is 2009!
And if this wasn't enough: Hot on the heels of "Art Of Sorrow", man of the moment Stefan Goldmann does his first remix for Macro! His stunning version is a 15 minute monster. Not just a jam, but a fully composed journey from deep reverberation to drum machine fueled peaks to a japanese flute and koto workout. Depth on a new level. This is the difference this label makes - others do ambient, cosmic or krautrock. Macro does the thrilling stuff.

Legendary Los Hermanos member Santiago Salazar’s album ‘Aspirations For Young Xol’ is given a vinyl release courtesy of Rekids. A heartfelt dedication to his son Isaias, ‘Aspirations for Young Xol’ takes us through the life of a pillar in the electronic music community - Santiago Salazar. From his formative years spent in California to his connection with Detroit and the passing of a childhood friend, the long-player’s tracks signpost the musician’s significant experiences, both positive and negative. This meaningful body of work was released digitally on Pastel Voids and now Rekids release the album on wax. ‘Saturated Fear’ sets a deep tone for the LP, flanging melodies and echoing claps float through the composition before the album’s title track ‘Aspirations for Young Xol’ offers haunting arpeggios with occasional acidic overtones which are cleverly offset by beautifully designed lead synth transitions. ‘Bloodlines’ follows a similar musical vein with delayed bass riffs that are suspended above shimmering hihats and a weighted kick. Santiago provides three beatless pieces throughout, which digress into more emotional territory whilst offering brief respite from his heavier drum work. ‘Xol’s Pain’ combines orchestral strings and swelling synthesisers which build tension with a subtly complex, evolving motif. Both ‘Dark Matter’ and ‘Ode to Stinson’ use arresting atmospheres, warped arpeggios and ethereal pads which lull the listener into a retrospective mood. An intensity builds in the later tracks, a gritty but powerful low end provides a solid foundation in ‘Orange Blossom Thump”, eventually making way for a hectic and elastic lead synth before ‘Pachuco Dub’ displays drones that build a dissonant pressure in which the complex tom rhythms and rolling hi hats can grow. ‘Sarah Rivera’ hypnotises with its delectable chord progressions and complimentary melodies which seem to float above a rigid drum composition to close the album with style.

In following up Marcellus Pittman's killer Eastside Story, Seventh Sign waste no time in bringing another red-hot act to the label. A member of the legendary Underground Resistance / Los Hermanos / Galaxy 2 Galaxy crew, Santiago Salazar has also enjoyed success as a member of The Trinity (with Mad Mike Banks and Gerald Mitchell) and more recently as Ican, not to mention his many solo outings. His pedigree is unquestionable; a fact not lost on the many labels that have played host to his music, including Submerge, Planet E, Motech and now Seventh Sign. Santiago's sound is full of soul and warmth and is presented using state of the art production and a rich palette of modern sounds, as this E.P. demonstrates to devastating effect... Hot!

Info:
Stefan Goldmann’s 'Input' translates electronic music into performance formats for human players of acoustic instruments. The standard remix process is thus inverted, by providing the electronics first. Then composers backwards-engineer what they hear into scores for ensemble. The original, synthesized version isn’t available for the audience: Its hidden shape can only be guessed at through its acoustic translations.
By collaborating with multiple composers, the process of direct auditory comparison allows for multidimensional insights. It reveals common traits in unlikely places and highlights differences
between individual approaches. Ambiguities of sound/score relations, emergent parallelisms and unexpected congruencies become part of the sensory and cognitive experience.
The three versions in this release – by Daniel Chernov, Adrian Pavlov and Lukas Tobiassen – were recorded at Sofia's 180 Degrees Festival and performed by the stellar group of musicians from
Bulgaria, France and Switzerland which came together in Ensemble 180°. The live recordings were further processed by Stefan Goldmann and now represent a stunning sonic hall of mirrors, with
multiple vectors of transformation embedded in this dialogue.

Track list CD:
1. Onset Trajectory, 2. Qanath, 3. Vilayet, 4. Tefter, 5. Hard Palate, 6. Anaphora, 7. Builders, 8. Arda, 9. Healer
Info:
"Live at Borusan" follows in the tradition of Stefan Goldmann's recordings of concerts at the Philharmonie Berlin and the Honen-in Temple in Kyoto, with a music program that is just as tailored to the location and its characteristics as his other site-specific formats, such as for the LACMA in Los
Angeles or the CCK of Buenos Aires.
The Borusan Music House is located in the densely built-up Pera district, the old Christian quarter of Istanbul. It is a 19th century brownstone that has been carefully converted into a minimalist, multistorey exhibition and concert venue. While Goldmann was a fellow at the Tarabya Cultural Academy
for an extended summer in 2023, the idea for this concert was born and scheduled to be part of the Noise Istanbul festival organized by Borusan in November 2024.
The palimpsest-like character of the city with its multiple cultural layers is reflected in the structure of this concert and expressed in the language of electroacoustic composition. Accordingly, what should be a collision-ridden, restlessly advancing sequence through a multitude of references to earlier works and projects such as Veiki, Alluvium, Sfera and Furnace, instead leads us on a surprisingly relatable sonic arc.

Info:
Impérieux (aka Alper Durmush) is a beatmaker extraordinaire hailing from Kircaali / Kardjali: since antiquity a hub of mythical music, located at the crossroads of Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece.
Rezil is his stunning debut album, built on the ground cleared by his head-turning earlier releases for KiNK's Sofia Records and DJ Koze's Pampa. Its effortlessly mesmerizing 10 tracks consolidate the outlines of forward-leaning club music.
Experimentation is a well-established facet of Impérieux’ approach to the adventurous techno (left)field, but more than ever on Rezil he seizes the opportunity
to thrill with holistically captivating hooks, bass lines and rolling rhythms: A culmination of several years of exploration and refinement. Unpredictability lies at the heart of all this music, bound together by a consistent modernist glint.
From the warped wobble of Sword Fight to the unhinged dairé excess of Imana, from the drunken Casio bliss of Rezil to the hopeful euphoria of Young: a triumph.

John McLaughlin - Marbles (Stefan Goldmann Version)
Track list 12“:
A: Marbles
B: Marbles (Stefan Goldmann Version)
Info:
Marbles is the legendary 1970 proto punk / dance classic from John McLaughlin’s US debut album 'De?otion', recorded at the time in which he played on Miles Davis' Bitches Brew and taped the Record Plant session with Jimi Hendrix.
Marbles didn't just deliver jazz rock's most danceable 4/4 beat, played by Band of Gypsies / Electric Flag drummer Buddy Miles. It is also centered with a once-in-ageneration bass line performed by Billy Rich. Larry Young's otherworldly Hammond textures predate a lot of what synthesizers were about to do much later, and the blowtorch energy emanating from John McLaughlin's cranked amp went beyond what most would had dared during the defining era of heavy rock guitar. An apex achievement at the intersection of jazz rock, guitar rock and dance music without parallel, before or since.
Background: John McLaughlin arrived in New York in 1969 to join Tony Williams' new group Lifetime which also featured Larry Young and eventually Jack Bruce (of Cream). On the second day in town he found himself in the studio with Miles Davis, recording 'In a Silent Way.' His playing would also take center stage in Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, On The Corner and several other Davis key works of his much beloved first electric era. In between a busy schedule with Lifetime and Davis, McLaughlin also recorded two solo albums in 1970, 'De?otion' with an all-electric group and ‚'My Goa|’s B?y?nd' as its acoustic counterpart. By the time he formed his group Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1972, John McLaughlin was firmly established as the most important practitioner of his instrument of his generation within and well beyond the emerging jazz rock / fusion genre, and he has continued to evolve and surprise until today.
Here, a thorough remaster is supplemented by a new and throbbing techno version by Stefan Goldmann.

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.

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.

Arthur Clees - I'll Hold You
Track list CD:
1. Stay, 2. Of Silence, 3. Memoir, 4. Solemn, 5. Don't Go Away So Easily, 6. Temporary, 7. Show Me,
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.

Info:
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.

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.

STEFAN GOLDMANN - Carob
Tracklist:
A. In Aggregate
B. Carob
about:
One of techno's most joyous experimentators delivers two intriguing uptempo tracks. Instead of hitting
hard and heavy 'In Aggregate' and 'Carob' float delicately, with explosive detail blooming freely and
high above what feels rather like a bass-ladden undercurrent than a persistent kick drum foundation.
Both tracks expand on Stefan Goldmann's extensive polyrhythmic research and integrate tonal and
metric functions within the same units of sound. Somewhat radically, the central sound of 'Carob' is all
in one: beat, bassline and single-note melody. By contrast, 'In Aggregate' unfolds lush layers of
exuberant percussion, countered by rounded drops of bass and an occasional vocal snippet
ricocheting off of claustrophobia-inducing walls of glass.
As future-forward as they are organic, these offerings come with appropriately idiosyncratic artwork by
Jorinde Voigt. Printed on inside-out heavy paper cover + a printed inner sleeve.

KUF create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. With three
albums the Berlin trio pioneered an astonishing inversion of the typical electronic band set up, by
pairing a plethora of disembodied, sampled voices with acoustic real-time interaction on bass, drums
and keys.
'Yield', their fourth album, presents a shift in focus. Less weight on the vocal core – lots of new
integrations of sampling, synthesis and band action in different constellations. This diversification of
sources pulls the conceptual stops out and yields a dazzling array of magical instrumentalism. Bold.
Catchy. Flourishing.
From 'Gold' to 'Universe', KUF solidified an irresistible marriage of android vocal cords and highly
energetic beats. Their third album 'Re:Re:Re' applied the concept to remix/cover version hybrids of
classics from Macro's stellar back catalog, tackling originals by the likes of rRoxymore, KiNK, Patrick
Cowley, Santiago Salazar and Stefan Goldmann. With proof that the concept could be applied with
supremely gratifying results to such diverse contexts, time was ripe to go back to the drawing board
and reimagine the perimeter.
Now 'Yield' breathes the freedom of playful reassembly of the main ingredients. A sampler's cut-up
capabilities triggered by frisky fingers. Persistent bass. Adamant drums. Rough soul, intertwined by
improvised outbursts and shaped with the aesthetics of raw MPC-based chunky techno. Twelve slices
of hyper-integrated realtime magic.

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.

Tracklist:

A3. Lorino
A4. Yukagir
B1. Tiksi
B2. Ayon
B3. Valkumey
The Album:
Proprietary rhythm: Vector Rituals sees techno polymath Stefan Goldmann constructing polymetric rites of percussion. Synthesized from the ground up, timbral characteristics, metric properties, dynamic
expression and microrhythmic phrasing are shaped by the interactions of layered control voltage functions. The result is an assembly of abstract dances ranging from the intricate to the powerful.
Near-humanoid behaviour emerges from liquid patterns, laid out and brought to life by the freewheeling encounter of modular waveforms and snappy envelopes. Sounds evoke metallic textures
– ringing, scraping – and group into virtual shapes from tiny spikes to vast surfaces.
Some of the parametric relationships employed are as loose as to imply chance drifts. Others lock in with strict regularity as found in the 13 vs. 17 polymeter pattern of opening track 'Nayba'. By contrast,
in the strictly repetitive yet highly asymmetrical sequence of 'Yukagir' each metric step has its own uniquely irregular duration. The center piece of this collection is 'Ayon' with multiple autonomous and
highly agile timelines. Its constituent layers break away in radial fashion and fall back together at widely spaced points of congregation.
All compositions herein present powerful proof of the unlimited capacity of electronic music to yield new principles of organisation and to solidify their expression into clear-cut gestalt.
The Record:
Vector Rituals comes on 180g vinyl with artwork by highly acclaimed visual artist Jorinde Voigt, printed onto the inside-out cover sleeve and continued on the inner jacket.

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.

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.

Track list CD:
1. Onset Trajectory, 2. Flood, 3. Merge, 4. Blind Deconvolution, 5. Neodym, 6. The Hearth, 7. Fission, 8. Caesium-133, 9. Surface Boundary, 10. Viscosity, 11. Builders, 12. Polymer, 13. Shift Invariant
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.

Tracklist:
(1) Sven Väth – Mystic Voices (DE-Q20-22-00006)
(2) Sven Väth – Butoh (DE-Q20-22-00008)
Release Info:
Single release from the forthcoming album “Catharsis”, produced by Sven Va¨th & Gregor Tresher
The second release before the upcoming mighty new Sven Va¨th album “Catharsis” gives you another hint at what´s coming at you! Let us tell you, we couldn´t be more excited for everyone to finally experience Sven´s new masterpiece!
But before we unleash the beast, we decided to release a second single. This time containing two absolute highlight tracks. If you have heard Sven playing in the past months, you will recognize both, as they were pivotal moments in almost every set!
First up we have “Mystic Voices“, a track that was created during the early stages of the album production with Sven gathering ideas and words to finally record the unmistakable vocals during a hectic tour through India, and Gregor spending days and nights on the other side of the planet in his studio to process the stream of inspiration. When the two finally sat down together in the studio, the track emerged quickly. Some would call the instant vibe that magic that every creative mind is longing to find.
“Butoh” is a raw and dark force, influenced by Japanese dance, an art form that deeply touched Sven during his travels on Nippon Island. It´s an otherworldly sounding track, still based in the Techno Realm but heavily twisted by a long break that introduces Japanese percussions that eventually get topped by the haunting vocals of Cana Hatsushiba.

Aretha Franklin - I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face
2025 Repress
Tracklisting:
A) One Step Ahead
B) I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face
Info:
You may know Aretha Franklin's scintillating "One Step Ahead" from its vital role in the Oscar-winning movie Moonlight. You may also know it as providing the beautifully melancholic backdrop for Mos Def's 1999 hit "Ms Fat Booty". The inaugural Be With 7" is a special one indeed, containing the first ever officially licensed reissue of Aretha's all-time deep soul classic. "One Step Ahead" was not included on any of her Columbia studio albums, and remains one of her rarest releases. On the flip, "I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face" is a thrilling, goosebump-inducing killer and an unfairly slept-on rendition of this eternal track.

Release Info:
After a year and a half writing and recording rock music, I needed to clear my head. I listened to and made music where things generally happen gradually rather than suddenly. I would set up patches on a Monomachine or Analog Four and listen to them, hearing one sound morph into others, making changes to a patch only after having listened for quite a while, gradually adding elements, and finally manipulating the sounds on the fly. All tracks were recorded live to CD burner, with no overdubs, and executed on one or two machines.
While I was almost exclusively listening to artists such as Chris Watson, Peter Rehberg, Bernard Parmegiani, CM Von Hausswolff, Jana Winderen, Oren Ambarchi, Hazard, Bruce Gilbert, Klara Lewis, Ryoji Ikeda, and so on, I was also inspired by my mental image of John Lennon's tape and mellotron experiments he made at home during his time in the Beatles, as well as events like the first minute of Bowie's Station To Station, ...And The Gods Made Love by Jimi Hendrix, the synths in the song Mass Production by Iggy Pop, and the general idea of Eno's initial concept of Ambient music.
Music being a solitary sculpture in sonic space was the main motivating thought. I was looking at pictures of sculptures and trying to make music that simultaneously conveyed both movement and stillness. I refrained from sudden musical changes, especially avoiding sequences of notes and rhythms. In fact, this music was made from sequences which never exceed a single note, many of these pieces being made on a single pattern. The movement which a good sculptor conveys when the shape of his medium meets the eyes of the viewer who walks around the piece, or the sun changes its position, are the kinds of movement which it was the role of the synth patches to communicate.
I've been listening to music like this since I was 13 or so, but I felt that making it was out of my reach because of the amount of restraint I imagined it required. Once I found myself making this music, it did not feel like a matter of restraint at all. I wanted to build a certain type of building, and hear certain types of movement, and I knew when it was complete. There was no place for sequences of notes and rhythms in my plans.
I also cannot overstate the role that being in my band played. I had previously spent 12 years programming and engineering my own music, and then spent a year and a half making music where my role was basically to write songs and play guitar. When the band's recording phase was completed, I needed to go back to my adopted language. I had done enough with chords, rhythms, notes, defined sections, sharp transitions, etc.. What I needed was to create music from the ground up with nothing but sound, and have that music reflect "being" rather than "doing". It was a therapeutic way of re-balancing myself, before and during my band's mixing process.
This music seeks to just exist, and is not attempting to manipulate or grab the listener in any way. I believe it works well if one listens loud and focuses on it, but also works well at soft volumes and in the background. It can compete with silence on silence's own terms, and it can also happily wipe silence out.
There are two versions of this album. The CD version is pronounced "two" and called : I I . This is the longer version. The vinyl version is pronounced "one", and called . I : This version is shorter, but contains one vinyl-only track. The reason the vinyl is shorter is that some of the tracks have sounds that can not be pressed on vinyl.

Release Info:
A heaven-made match is now complete with Gerry Read’s debut EP for Pampa Records. The British producer’s distinctively twisted, lo-fi sound, combined with Pampa’s deep-vein instinct for quality quirks, ushers in a new phase for two of house music’s most celebrated names.
The opening bars of “It’ll All Be Over” are immediately evocative, hinting at the patchwork style to come. Twangy banjo strings and a foot-stomp beat seem to herald a folksy arrangement, but that isn’t to be. Soft floaty pads rise up to form an unlikely partnership, softening sharp edges and adding sophisticated melodic expression. Once a compressed vocal sample is introduced, the entire structure reveals itself and begins to spin and loop in the style of iconic French house productions. Propelled further along by the endearing drama of flooded bass drum kicks, falsetto voices and xylophone pings, “It’ll All Be Over” is immediately memorable and expertly architectured.
Read’s second cut, “Satyricon,” is woven in the spirit of micro-house. Sharp waveform cuts, timely pauses, loops of noodling keys and hints of percussion shakers combine for a low-slung psychedelic effect. With the sunniness of a vintage folk-pop sample and sultry snatches of Spanish dialogue added atop a deep mid-tempo shuffle, Read secures his place alongside the Bradocks and Leclairs who came before him.
On the flipside, Pampa’s figurehead takes an expert turn at the controls of “It’ll All Be Over (DJ Koze remix).” The original’s jagged edges are buffed out, and shined up into a gleaming disco house anthem. With its artfully timed strumming breakdowns and cowbell accents, it is an appetising teaser of the forthcoming summer.

Tracklist
A1 - KiNK - Wake Up
A2 - KiNK - Beep Beep
B1 - KiNK feat. Redeye - Room To Jack
B2 - Raredub & KiNK - Scrambler
KiNK's first release on Sofia Records this year lives up to its title and its creator's reputation. The relentless energy, love of musical adventure and undamped enthusiasm of a KiNK live set can be found here in all its glory.
Wake Up is not only an instruction and a hidden compliment to Laurent Garnier, it's also evidence of the Bulgarians uncanny ability to deliver steamrollers with various twists and turns, while hitting the peak effortlessly.
Beep Beep adds a certain element of mania to the menu. For the lack of a better description, please imagine Mr. Oizo and Steve Poindexter making a record together. Not for the faint at heart.
That can be said for the rest of the EP as well. Featuring Redeye, Room To Jack is on the same level of Beep Beep. Traditional topics of Chicago House get a bench test on a speed farm.
Dancing to Scrambler one would probably need the same room to jack. Swapping the Windy City with British raving fields, KiNK and Raredub deliver a take on the early sound of UK that might miss breakbeats, but manage to re-use all the other ingredients to a hair: fine-tuned and updated. Quotation without modern misinterpretation. Hyper and epic at the same time. And always remember the future!

Short Info:
Belgian techno wizard Cri Du Coeur is back with a new 2-part vinyl release on his label Arkham Audio titled 'Erickson' & 'Erickson on Acid', which features remixes exclusively from French artists. Jerome D., the man behind the Cri Du Coeur alias, is prized in the industry for giving platforms to Belgian and French artists throughout his career, so it comes as no surprise that he is showing his francophile roots by having a solely French lineup for the remixes on this release. Following the recent release of his EPs 'Diaphragm' and 'Warning', and now bringing us the inebriating 'Erickson' & 'Erickson on Acid', Cri Du Coeur has established that his new alias and freshly-founded but tenacious Arkham Audio label are a force to be reckoned with. The entrancing yet adrenalizing sound that he has adopted shows that his approach to industrial electronic music knows no boundaries or compromises.
The first part of this release features the original mix of 'Erickson' by Cri Du Coeur and remixes of the track by Electric Rescue, [ Wex 10 ], and Trunkline. The second part 'Erickson on Acid' puts a squelching acid twist on things and features remixes by Roman Poncet, Umwelt, and Zadig.
The original mix of 'Erickson' leads with a strong beat and a mixture of industrial sounds that makes for a sublime dark dancefloor track. Electric Rescue follows on with a remix that engages the listener with a terrorising yet intoxicating heavy baseline. Next up is [ Wex 10 ] who enchants us with a bouncy laserbeam rhythm and muffled looping vocals. Last but not least on the 'Erickson' lineup is Trunkline's remix which delivers an addictive hazy melody and a deep and dirty mechanical synth horn.
Cri Du Coeur plays with tensions in 'Erickson (on Acid)', putting the listener into a state of hypnosis with squelching sounds that give the song a raunchy character. We are implored to dance as Roman Poncet's remix bears layers of lively percussion beats with twangy synth melodies. The mood intensifies once more as Umwelt's remix features a dark and fuzzy baseline that contrasts with a screeching siren sound creating an ultimate thrilling experience for the listener. Zadig closes off this immense concoction of remixes with a relentless distorted base and scintillating machinelike background noises.
Cri Du Coeur has outdone himself by bringing together such a well-suited selection of artists to create a visceral and magnetizing collection of tracks that showcases his competence in making industrial techno. You can look forward to both 'Erickson ' & 'Erickson on Acid' being released simultaneously in digital form and on vinyl on the 24th July.

“Reptile Youth is a riot, a dream and a 21st century fuck you dadaism movement.” - Mads Damsgaard Having already earned a devotional following after a series of intense, raucous and explosive gigs across Europe and Asia, the release of their debut single ‘Speeddance’ will let the rest of the world in on the Reptile Youth secret. Formed in Denmark in 2009 by Vocalist Mads Damsgaard Kristiansen and bassist Esben Valløe, and previously known as Reptile and Retard, the band toured extensively in 2010 and 2011 to rapturous acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Their live shows have border on barely contained chaos, their dominance of the stage inspiring a fervent following among those in the know. Danish producer Kasper Bjørke, acting as A&R and executive producer for the band, is the man ensuring the transfer of this volatile energy to Reptile Youth’s releases. In 3 minutes of high-octane pop punk perfection, ‘Speeddance’ is a slap in the face to the indie pretenders, and a call to arms for a new generation. On the visual side UK photographer David Richardson took responsibility for the cover shooting. “Speeddance is a reaction to a world of conformity. It‘s a hope and an encouragement for our generation to rise against this. Sometimes you need to lose yourself to fi nd your way. Speeddance is this way of losing yourself“ says Esben Valløe. Propelled by Esben’s elastic bass, ‘Speeddance’ fi res out
of the traps with kinetic urgency, giving way only to Mads’ anthemic, semi-deranged vocal hook. Dripping with drama, lust, and absolute self belief, the track’s pulse is a pure rock n roll statement - welcome to Reptile Youth, the bastard sons of psychedelic Sixites Soul, Post Punk and Synth Pop. This 7inch is a bold statement of intent – furious, sexy and provocative. In a further homage to their punk forefathers, accompanying the original on the single is a remake of ‘Speeddance‘ by much-lauded Norwegian band Deathcrush - the trio of Andreas Larssen, Åse Røyset and Linn Nystadnes. After seeing them playing in a sweaty apartment in Copenhagen, Reptile Youth quickly asked them to record their own version of the song. Åse and Linn‘s formidable female drawl leads the riot, as dance-punk meets postfuck- noise-disco in a great big slice of attitude pie. Very close ‘to the embodiment of all that‘s good with dirty and intoxicating noise-rock‘, as described by UK techno veteran Luke Slater, this Nordic outfi t are hot on the heels of Reptile Youth, careering around the rocky highways of the music industry with plenty of afore-missed artistry. Signed to influential hfn music, with a hotly anticipated album produced by Dave M. Allen (The Cure, Sisters of Mercy) and Marc Ralph (Hot Chip) due out in spring, 2012 is undoubtedly the year of the Reptile and the Youth.
