SHORT INFO:


A long-in-the-works project of ours, here comes A Tribe Called Kotori's first foray into full-length territories, as the immensely talented Rampue takes us on a melancholy-riddled ride across his phantasmatic mindscapes. A true sound explorer, deftly steering his ship down the junction of electronica, abstract and balearic-infused prog house, the Berlin-based vibist has us transfixed and elevated throughout the twelve cuts that form the backbone to this lushly textured promenade in sound - at times understatedly euphoric, at others rivetingly exotic.

Of the creative process that lead to 'Bubblebath Trance', Rampue explains "It all started and ended in the same moment: my cherished feline companion, my laptop awash with an unintended bath, and alas, a dearth of backups. The resultant calamity, an echo of chaotic tranquility." Under the generous layer of irony lies some unaltered truth about Rampue's debut long-player for A Tribe Called Kotori: this sense of serenity that goes with stepping into this warm and bubbling primitive chaos of sorts infuses the listening experience far and wide. Distantly emulating the "euphonious strains" of iconic PS1 video games soundtracks from his youth days, the album has us surfing a constant paradox of emotions, wistful but not abandoning itself to sorrow, dynamic yet suspended in some sort of mind-expanding stasis. As if you were looking at the world beneath you in exploded view, conscious of all thing, slowly moving up the many layers of our atmosphere towards uncharted skies.

A paragon of Rampue's most poignant take on classic electronica tropes, 'Harmonie' blazes with a poetic fire that engulfs about everything in its wake. Just figure yourself riding a chocobo across the sand-covered expanse of North Corel (toasting to the FFVII nerds here) as this blasts out in the distance. From this trancey bubblebath emerge lots of musical shades and nuances, from the nicely dubbed-out, brass-heavy coastal jazz of 'Schattenschranz' to the choppy, trip-hop-adjacent future electronics of 'Inside', via the exuberantly joyous mess of faux-organic number 'Tripomatic' and cinematic charisma of 'Ich hasse Sonne' high-flying orchestrations.

Connecting the dots between that trance-indebted ebullience and further downtempo-friendly attraction, 'Verfahren' perhaps encompasses best what 'Bubblebath Trance' is about: gracefully walking the tightrope in-limbo nostalgia-soaked inner movements and a powerful outward thrust, burning to let the feelings ooze out from the shell that holds them.Clad in purely 90s-compatible breaksy motion, 'Salz' is another attempt to reconcile emotional and physical dissonance, like kneading all states - solid, liquid and vaporous - into an impossible mega-vibe of its own; malleable, strong and enveloping in equal measure. Borrowing from two-step and UK garage, 'Take Away' is a definite high in Rampue's master unfolding of musical twists and turns, summoning a Boarder Community-esque atmosphere and clashing it alongside floor-ready footwork motifs to fascinating effect.

An ode to his studio companion, 'Buchla Trip' finds Rampue's exploring his machinic friend's quirky yet soulful array of electronic potentialities - making it sound like a conversation you'd have with R2-D2 in the heart of a Sandcrawler, whereas 'Kajal' beams us up to a fragmented headspace, halfway altered PC-Pop and arps-loaded electronica on amphetamines. Effusive and transporting, the title-track 'Bubblebath Trance' could well figure as the album's no.1 medley in essence: a bountiful lucid dream of dancing forms, colours and sentiments to wrap your head around, confidently drifting from a liminal state of consciousness down the rapids of one's troubled inner workings.

Rounding off the package, the languid ambient finale of 'Die Leiden des hungrigen Fruehstuecks' rubber-stamps the feeling that 'Bubblebath Trance' belongs to that rare category of albums. The ones that mint their own alphabet aside from typical norms and expectations, teaching you the ropes of their new language as it unreels between your ears - real and unreal, elusive to any other meaning than the one your guts and brains will be inclined to give it to, in real time. A crystal-pure object if you will, that shall not reveal its secrets, even after a thousand listens and just as many wowing moments.

SHORT INFO:
Berlin-based producer Rampue has not released an album in 14 (in words: fourteen) years. Between 2008 and 2020 he toured the world and worked mainly on his live sets in the meantime. So now only a worldwide pandemic had the power to prevent the traveling musician from continuing this hustle and bustle and eventually share a new record with the public. Corona was what brought this standstill and the otherwise well- traveled individual experiences cabin-fever during lockdown. Hence, the new Rampue album "Tragweite" came into existence in February 2021, which portrays the artist's desire for experimentation.
Inspired by a modular synthesizer (Buchla), Rampue has seemingly put himself into a kind of trance, in which he lets the machines work and combines randomly created sounds with airy structures such as low drums or simple grooves. Rampue accomplished to break free by using random sounds as a new impulse and a way out of a creative crisis, which stemmed both from the enforced home isolation and from the self-perceived paralysis. The result is literally unique, as many of the sound products cannot be reconstructed and are preserved in album form for the general public.
Listening to "Tragweite" one gets the impression that the dialectical relationship between chaos and order, further supported by its production, is the defining theme of the album. After an initially perceived chaos, a delicate order, which is determined by structuring drum patterns and basslines, takes over throughout the course of the album.
Later, it frays and loses itself again in sounds and tones created mechanically However, it never seems arbitrary, but willful and skillfully staged. For instance, "Furo?" begins with apparent arrhythmia. The combination of bass and subtle percussion, however, gives this arrhythmia a shape, guiding the track which gradually becomes more and more driving without losing its original playfulness.
Although one might be inclined to think of genres such as Downtempo or Ambient at the beginning in the further course of the album results in such a diverse sound and rhythmic landscape that one willingly questions one's own perception of music while listening and finally throws every type of categorization overboard joyfully. The listening experience is too intoxicating and enlightening to stick to simple genre boundaries. The musical spectrum ranges from straight arrangements that live entirely without a drum foundation ("Fu?r Dich") to almost meditative sound collages ("Regengesicht") to the four-to-the-floor banger "Kembang" which adds a grimmer note with a certain industrial appeal to the overall rather melancholic-progressive curation. "Direct Faden" on the other hand, surprises with its simple guitar-based foundation on which the omnipresent synth snippets and pads are allowed to let off steam towards the end of the record. The track that most closely combines the progressive production style with a danceable club atmosphere is probably "Phobia". Wafting, partly breaking away synthesizer sounds rise higher and higher, while the driving mixture of bass and drums consistently march forward.
Rampue breaks with his old, musical habits as "Tragweite" creates the impression of improvisation and jam character without getting lost. Rampue takes his listeners on a journey that is stirring and moving, sometimes demanding or even a bit disturbing, yet always one thing: incredibly exciting.

A1 That's A2 Mama Was A Progrocker B1 Katz und Maus B2 Find Someone
It's not that long since our main man Rampue served his fine club anthem "Sonne, Park & Sterni" as part of the Audiolith singles club series and now he's back with another hot quadruple shot. This fine EP named "Mama Was A Progrocker" is not only announcing springtime musically but is also serving a sneak preview of what the future holds for long time fans of Rampue soundwise when it comes to forthcoming projects yet unveiled. Delving into the realms of Slow- and DeepHouse with a warm organic feel and heavy use of multi-layered disco loops, twanging guitar sounds and carefully transformed vocal lines each and every tune contained here speaks of a deep and heartfelt love for melody, soul and romance - a tender and carressing attitude that's essential for the work of the Berlin-based producer these days. The sound of Rampue in 2013 is not only about working intimate late night dancefloors - it's about telling love stories able to stand the test of time, it's about holding hands, breathing fresh, unpolluted air and, most of all, a unique, individual and fully shaped musical language that has matured in and emerged from Rampues studio desk throughout the past years. No matter if it's the EPs title track "Mama Was A Progrocker", equally playful productions like "Thats" and "Katz Und Maus" or the epic, string-loaden closing tune "Find Someone" - all tunes are perfectly crafted and highly detailed masterpieces, sculpted from expertly picked ingredients that fall into place just right.

A1 Thomas Atzmann - Skagerrak , A2 Rampue - Der König und der Vogel , A3 Kalipo - Gernkraftwerk
B1 Krink - Dazed , B2 Paradise Hippies - Prosecco Mate , B3 Gimmix - Karlie , B4 Monopohl - Patellaluxation

A handful of cables, laptops and a few dusty machines are all it takes to make music. On Stiff Little Spinners Vol. 8 this is proven once again with seven exclusive tracks by Thomas
Atzmann, Rampue, Kalipo, Krink, Paradise Hippies, Gimmix and Monopohl. The eighth edition of the Stiff Little Spinners compilation is ready for the next demolition party with a mix of modern deep house, slow jams & dreamy techno future classics.
01 Thomas Atzmann - Skagerrak
After a longer release break, Thomas Atzmann delivers the first sure shot of this record. Skaggerrak convinces from the beginning with spheric ambience and tom-tom grooves, dissolving in a wash of big synth emotions.
02 Rampue - Der König und der Vogel
King Rampue dishes out an A+ Slow Jam. Minimalistic in the beginning, this track leadsyou directly via screwed vocals to a cosmic breakdown of intoxicating emotions. All of it
with a beautifully relaxed bpm.
03 Kalipo - Gernkraftwerk
The manifold producer is on the ticket as per ususal - this time with a detroit-y neo trance attack. With the appropriate volume this tune can lead to loss of gravity.
04 Krink - Dazed
This track is tuning feedback into filters and synth stabs in your face as if there was no tomorrow. Some tunes will always instill hope that’s it’s possible to dance forever and never go home.
05 Paradise Hippies - Prosecco Mate
The last hippies of Hamburg bring proof that two rad dudes together make an extremely rad pair. Known in every dive bar around town, Joney and Digital Norman decided to become a super group to blow everyone’s minds away with their very own R’n’B disco cut.
06 Gimmix - Karlie
Rounding the whole thing off is Gimmix with a modern deep house classic. All the right ingredients from arpeggio synth via deep chords to trippy vocal fragments. What more could you want.
07 Monopohl - Patellaluxation
Bremen-based Monopohl is the rookie on this record. After a couple of EPs he docked on to the mother ship Audiolith to give this dreamy radiator to the world. Synth lines epicly build up to an absolute peak time monster, ready to pick up everyone who wants to fly at a higher game.

Tracklisting
A1 Trummerschlunk & Ivan Capriles - Frau Böse (Abgelehnt, leider voll), A2 Kalipo - Dyson , A3 Joney & Gimmix - Can I Haz Guestlist?
B1 Rampue - Adagio for Phoenicopterus , B2 Krink - Ascent , B3 Hassan Abou Alam - Fragile Things

Info:
Welcome to Audiolith's Stiff Little Spinners Volume 7. Once again, we asked familiar and unfamiliar sound progressors to build a helicopter out of paper-clips for us, however all they delivered was solid techno. Very well then!

A1 Trummerschlunk & Ivan Capriles - Frau Bo?se (Abgelehnt, leider voll)
Trummerschlunk operates wacky musical machines by teasing electronic music out of them. Tough, but sweet and beautifully minimal. "Frau Böse" is an anthem against the compassion-lacking bureaucracy with which Europe cultivates its inhuman immigration (and deportation) policies. Electronic music can be more than numbing.

A2 Kalipo - Dyson
Kalipo a.k.a. Jakob Häglsperger shouldn't need any further introduction. As part of "Frittenbude" he's a star, as Kalipo he's a down-to-earth producer and a passionate techno machinist. It's only natural that he would name this track after his new vacuum cleaner.

A3 Joney & Gimmix - Can I Haz Guestlist?
The Hamburg-Leipzig axis stands for electronic music with an attitude. On both ends are artists who the monotony of familiarity behind and and break new ground. Sometimes a little difficult, mostly surprising, always with impeccable style and particularly wicked.

B1 Rampue - Adagio for Phoenicopterus
Only the one who knows what a flamingo really wants should attempt writing a track for these wondrous animals. Rampue has travelled to faraway countries and studied their wild-life along the way. This is how he knows that these birds can never resist a beautiful melody in adagio.

B2 Krink - Ascent
Krink - a name like a stone. Hard and void of embellishment. Techno free from la-di-da with even more deepness instead. This has been Krink's route for years, convincing with clean and nerdy productions without ingratiation. He is called the sound whisperer for a reason.

B3 Hassan Abou Alam - Fragile Things
Hassan lives in Cairo and he is resident with Egypt's best techno crew "Nacelle". Where the temperature rises above 40°C regularly, he plays dreamy, melodic down-tempo livesets that never miss a deep bassline. The best soundtrack for lazing about under a parasol.

Tracklist LP: A1 Gimmix & Zorro - Oveile 4:54 , A2 Rampue - Schleiermacherstrasse 07:01 , A3 Kalipo - Mäusemarsch 05:00 , B1 Krink - Close Distance 08:36 , B2 Joney - K-Hole Surfers 07:08

Stiff Little Spinners enters its 6th volume with a 5 track package spanning the widest sonic spectrum imaginable. Its tracks, in typical Spinners fashion, range from r&b influenced house grooves to shimmering, broken-beat, new-age garage swing.
Gimmix & Zorro prove their penchant for urban slow jams with a dance floor flavour. Their opener Oveile builds in a slow, sleazy fashion, eventually trading its more unpredictable drum arrangement for a sturdy 4/4 rhythm. The melody surges harmoniously, navigating the walls of its club-ready time signature, a phenomenal introduction to a mind-blowing collection of tracks.
Rampue slows things down on the A2 with Schleiermacherstrasse; a tripped-out, hazy roller with enough chime to hypnotise an entire stadium. This is not to say Volume 6 contains big room tracks, but rather the music's power commands attention. This is certainly true for Kalipo's Mäusemarsch, which whirls, in mesmerizing fashion achieving a climax fit for the party at its peak.
Krink's Close Distance is perhaps the darkest sounding track offered by the Spinners - it seriousness and condensed energy is bound to leave audiences sweating, until its ferocious bassline gives way to soaring synths and jarred drums.
Joney changes the formula altogether - his sophisticated K-Hole Surfers offers a chugging, dubbed out roller which owes as much to techno as it does to dubstep. It is perhaps unsurprising from the track's title that one feels like they are riding a rather erratic wave, delving in and out of our universe.
Already on their 6th volume, and churning out high-quality, club-ready tracks, this collective is set for big things.

(1lp vinyl version - hq cover art)
Tracklisting: 01. Donau Sunrise, 02. Crossing Wisla, 03. Banana Garden, 04. Lost In Vienna, 05. Memories of Praha, 06. Institute of Cottonwool, 07. Guten Morgen Lärz, 08. Berliner Gambit

Jakob Häglsperger AKA Kalipo is a busy man. Operating as one third of German electro-punk band Frittenbude, his solo alias was brought to life in 2014 with debut album "Yaruto", released on experimental label Antime Records.
The multi-faceted producer now returns to Audiolith with the "Wanderer EP", after having released the gorgeous "Mäusemarsch" this summer on the label's electronic-focused Stiff Little Spinners compilation series.
"Wanderer "is a restless record which sees Kalipo work his way through the deeper ends of four to the flour with a refreshingly experimentalist approach to production, with defamiliarized samples and analogue gear running the show.
The music has changed since the Berliner's debut album, becoming more propulsive, more physical and geared towards the dancefloor. Composed mostly on tour or over extended periods of travelling, the track names on "Wanderer" each come with their particular story, referencing places Kalipo has previously played or traveled to.
Monolithic opener "Donau Sunrise" sets the tone straight from the start with sanguine arpeggiators that work their way across a mystical backdrop. Melancholic themes infiltrate the cracks of the album and stand out tracks "Banana Garden", written when Kalipo was stuck in a bamboo hut in the middle of thai jungle with a 40 degree fever and nothing else but headphones, a sampler and penicillin for company, and the stunning "Institute Of Cotton Wool" are set to become earworms of the highest order.
"Wanderer" sees Kalipo right in his element. Tension builds and dissolves gracefully throughout and the Berliner's audacious approach to production give his music an authentic and very recognizable feel, one which is clearly Berlin-influenced but which also evades the set templates.

Info:
The Stiff Little Spinners are back on a solo tip with the fifth edition of our vinyl series that's embracing the world of electronic dance clubs and open air raves with heartfelt warmth, organic basslines and a whole lotta love. After releasing Volume 4 alongside our tenth anniversary compilation "Audiolith -Ten Years From Now" Stiff Little Spinners Volume 5 once again serves a fine, hand-picked selection of six melodious club essentials somewhat in between Tech- , Romantic- and DeepHouse-grooves for intimate late night jams and cosy venues crowded with musical connaisseurs. Starting things with the man they call Krink, our Stiff Little Spinner number one, multi-active producer and master of melodies, we see a pumping "Eclipse" hyping crowds with its pounding, on-point bassdrums and an ever spiralling synth line that reaches into new heights on top of huge organic basslines and yearning, masterfully crafted strings that'll take every TechHouse-infused set to the next level from the very first drop onwards. Coming up next is another one of our "Old Friends" - Kalipo. Whilst exploring further realms of a universe build on a solid foundation of analogue synth structures and tender echoes of processed vocal bits the Berlin-based producer speeds up things here and tops his excellent primetime cut with lively shakers and a killer break introducing nothing but peace, love and overwhelming beauty. Another well-established member of the Stiff Little Spinners crew is Gimmix who's catering his tune "Liyah" here - a sweet fusion track amalgamating elements of vocal driven deepness with fascinating Future Garage / SpeedGarage bassrides providing maximum pressure on every proper rig. Add up a few Jungle-referencing sample cuts and melancholia driven motor city string arrangements to this mixture and you'll find a perfect combination of elements that is never about to leave any real DJs crates. Instant classic. Remixed by Rampue we see Bebetta Conrady's "Shame" weigh in epic modulations, sweet uplifting vocals, tribalistic drums and candy-coated piano lines that fall together perfectly, building a unique electronic love song of a kind that's translating the universal language of love into a stream of sonic pulses about to trigger all punters hearts for a reason. More beats, tenderness and pure dancefloor pleasure are provided by the pairing of Torsun Teichgräber and Danja Mathari with their collaboration effort "In My Own Skin". Together they're riding the Piano wave on top of slightly distorted yet seductive analogue synth modulations rocketing off into Rave heavens whilst the fragile, cuddly and super-cute vocals turn this tune into an unforgettable love affair that's meant to last forever. Finally rounding of this little story with a bass heavy fusion of UK Funky, Future Garage and rumbling TechHouse is Hamburg's ILLest producer Joney who's bringing on a lively swing, athmospheric strings and echoing female vocals bits with his tune "Don't Stop" - an ultimate crossover piece that's calling out for a reload or two.

Audiolith - musical luckybag with a masterplan.
Ten years from now, back in 2003 the label started as musical one-man-show without any kind of business plan. A decade has passed since then and Audiolith grew into a proper company with two associates, employees, office, online mailorder store and not less than 200 releases under its belt. But still some things never change, especially when it comes to release politics. No matter what ever style comes in whenever the boss likes it there'll be a release. No compromise, no fear of failure that's what Audiolith is all about and Lars Lewerenz is, has been and stays the musically approving authority, no matter if we talk ElectroPunk, Drum'n'Bass, Indie or PunkRock, HipHop, Trap, deep. emotin-driven House or ElectroPop. His widely varied taste is the reason why Audiolith still remains fresh and surprising a musical luckybag, but one with a masterplan.
Now the year is 2013 and Audiolith is still loved by many - and hated by some for giving away golden gifts to fans instead of waiting for presents itself. To celebrate its first two-digit birthday the labels looks forward into the next "Ten Years From Now" with a very special compilation set perfectly embracing the changed, grown and broadened musical spectrum that is unique and special for a still fully independent company.Celebrating fame and wealth and the way Audiolith evolved from a grassroot business to a brand and a full-on way of life "Ten Years From Now" sees the whole artist crew gathering around the golden axe and invites everyone and you to join the party right away. Brazed, Neonschwarz, Joney, Ira Atari, Frittenbude, Tubbe, Fuck Art, Let's Dance! , Egotronic, Clickclickdecker, Bondage Fairies, Bratze, Supershirt and many others are on the bill - lined up for a massive fest taking place in your house, on stage and at your favorite local venue. Audiolith is here, we're still doing our thing.

Jonas Schiefferdecker, known by the stage name of Joney, is an experimental multi-genre music producer, drummer and laptop musician from Hamburg, Germany. He took his first drum lessons at the age of five, and started playing in bands and orchestras by the time he attended high school. His musical influences range from the old jazz masters to the latest bass music producers. Since 2010, Joney has been releasing a broad variety of productions and remixes, ranging from jazz influenced drum and bass, to garage or glitch and trap influenced bass music, to house and techno club tunes. His close association to the Golden Pudel Club and the hanseatic crews named Eat The Beat and ill, both still gaining momentum with their involvement in any kind of underground activities, is seen as seal of quality by many of the cities punters. In December 2012 he released "oh Allright" as the main title on Pudel Produkte 18 and a split single with Rampue on Audiolith as well as the digital "illowhead" on Saturate!

A1 That's A2 Mama Was A Progrocker B1 Katz und Maus B2 Find Someone
It's not that long since our main man Rampue served his fine club anthem "Sonne, Park & Sterni" as part of the Audiolith singles club series and now he's back with another hot quadruple shot. This fine EP named "Mama Was A Progrocker" is not only announcing springtime musically but is also serving a sneak preview of what the future holds for long time fans of Rampue soundwise when it comes to forthcoming projects yet unveiled. Delving into the realms of Slow- and DeepHouse with a warm organic feel and heavy use of multi-layered disco loops, twanging guitar sounds and carefully transformed vocal lines each and every tune contained here speaks of a deep and heartfelt love for melody, soul and romance - a tender and carressing attitude that's essential for the work of the Berlin-based producer these days. The sound of Rampue in 2013 is not only about working intimate late night dancefloors - it's about telling love stories able to stand the test of time, it's about holding hands, breathing fresh, unpolluted air and, most of all, a unique, individual and fully shaped musical language that has matured in and emerged from Rampues studio desk throughout the past years. No matter if it's the EPs title track "Mama Was A Progrocker", equally playful productions like "Thats" and "Katz Und Maus" or the epic, string-loaden closing tune "Find Someone" - all tunes are perfectly crafted and highly detailed masterpieces, sculpted from expertly picked ingredients that fall into place just right.

Tracklist: A1 Rampue - Sonne Park und Sterni 05:26 B1 Joney - ElbiLLharmonie 06:23
Coming up next in the Audiolith Singles Club-series is a conjunctional joint strictly aiming at the worlds dancefloors - featuring the combined forces of two artist hailing one from Berlin, the other from Hamburg and both renowned far beyond the borders of their hometown for DJ and production efforts alike. The opener "Sonne, Park und Sterni" is catered by long-time Audiolith-associate and family member Rampue who has been involved in musical craftmanship ever since. At the controls for Ira Atari's album, collaborational efforts with Egotronic and Plemo, several compilation features and remixes for artists like Conjure One, pandoras.box, Bratze, Supershirt, Kidstreet and others under his belt plus remarkable solo tracks on both volumes of our "Stiff Little Spinners" series show that this man is driven by force. And so does "Sonne, Park und Sterni" which is a sweet, melodic trip into the realms of positive TechHouse vibes, serving a seductive leitmotif and thrilling, cut-up vocal wizzardry adding a bit of extra spice to the playful loveliness that is surely influenced by Berlin's vibrant open air rave movement. The second one to follow our call of duty is the Hamburg-based Joney who is closely associated to the hanseatic events / crews named Eat The Beat and Ill both still gaining momentum with their involvement in any kind of underground activities seen as quality seal by many of the cities punters. His tune "Elbillharmonie" starts out on a dry, electroid 4/4 vibe but soon evolves into an epic, chord-driven (Neo)Trance vs. TechHouse banger with sparse but in-time distortion attacks and surprising stops turning into huge brow-rising breakdowns spreading love and joy amongst everyone that's down on the floor and ready for a good time to be had in the club.

Tracklist LP: A1 Krink - Better Than That A2 Mendoza - Hugo B1 Kalipo - Time Will Tell B2 Gimmix - Fenja B3 Rampue - Pendelverkehr ab Ostkreuz
Spending a night listening to the same music over and over again most-likely isn't a source of joy. To prevent this particular scenario the group of DJs and producers of the Audiolith cosmos decided to delve into new musical realms. Thus the project "Stiff Little Spinners" was born, uniting the diversity of Techno and House, to create a sampler which shall display this certain diversity. The sampler's prelude, a soft song named "Pendelverkehr Ab Ostkreuz", is contributed by Rampue and shines a completely new light on him. Soulful vocals and an almost dreamy sound - just the right thing to continue where one hasn't really left off at night. Rampue is followed by Kalipo, the new solo project by Frittenbude's producer Jakob Häglsperger. With his song "Time Will Tell" he creates a diversified, propelling piece of music, which never happens to get boring - instead constantly maintaining its thrills. The third track originates from Mendoza, who delivers the sampler's peak experience for those very special moments at a club with his hybrid of Garage and House, "Hugo". The whole compilation is rounded off by Krinks' "Better Than That" and Gimmix' "Fenja" - two atmospheric tracks with beautiful background vocals, which convey the feeling to simply close one's eyes and float away from one's daily hustle. But that's not all there is to it - in the end the Stiff Little Spinners still remain hungry and thirst for more. Thus it is to be expected that Audiolith will present quite some more releases and events under the banner of Stiff Little Spinners.

Barcode 4050486067550 Release : 06.05.2012
Tracklist: A1 Kalipo - Millionaire of Love A2 Gimmix & Julei - Ciera A3 Krink - In Between B1 Marseille & Mendoza - Aviary B2 Rampue - Get Back B3 Torsun Teichgräber - Brrhuakka
Our sweet little offspring, the new series under the roof of our beloved Audiolith label, is growing slowly but steadily. The Stiff Little Spinners are in town to spread the word all over the place. And the word is that contemporary electronic club music still is in high fashion in its various facets ranging from Deep- to TechHouse, from Cosmic Disco-influences to "Electro", NeoTrance and associated styles. All these are predominantly found on the worlds dancefloors and are becoming more and more popular in our network of friends, a musical family that has evolved from a Punk background and still is fascinated by the magic of a pumping 4-2-the-floor bassdrum, an essential momentum that never grows old. Since Krink was one of the first ones amongst us individually exploring these fields, followed in friendly partnership by the likes of Rampue, Gimmix & Julei, Kalipo, Torsun Teichgräber and the pair of Marseille & Mendoza they joined forces for a new 12" package including six tracks for this summer. Kalipo's "Millionaire Of Love" is the first one here, gently drifting off away into blurry dancefloor dreams exploring the musical realms in between (Neo)Cosmic and decently pumping DeepHouse flavors. Upcoming next is the lilting "Ciera" by Gimmix & Julei speeding up things a bit but still staying on a lovely tip with ever shifting string arrangements and sweet, innocent vocal bits. A nice closing track to send punters home safely after a long night out or two. Stiff Little Spinners-originator Krink serves the final one on the A-side. "In Between" proves his production skills with a fusion of deep, late night House. Serving classic chords, a seductive vox sample and a sexy Chicago-influenced line glimpsing through that does know about the house that Jack built this will be named as future classic in tiny red'ish venues attended by connaisseurs. One to stand the test of time. Flipping the 12" another conjunctional effort is opening here - "Aviary". Produced by Marseille & Mendoza this tune builds up for quite a while, teasing with classic claps and floating synths before branching out into an epic piece of House Music. A tune eager and longing, made for lovers and those looking for love drifting through the night. Rampue is next, a man that needs no further introduction. Puzzling punters with a ringtone intro he fully embraces a crossover of Disco and SlowHouse, based on well-fed bassdrums and sweet but summoning femal snippets well magnetizing, sucking everyone into that black hole the dancefloor can be. "Get Back" is the name but getting back is not an option before the tune is over.
The final slice is served by Torsun Teichgräber. His track is named "Brrhuakka", celebrating a Berlin'esque craze that can best be understood by those who've been to places like the legendary Bar 25 or other homes to spirits free. A tour de force through german vocals, Ska-influenced offbeats and a Polka-bassline, amalgamated for very special moments and shiny happy people.

A1 Gimmix - Bonnie A2 Rampue - Insensible Remix A3 Torsun Teichgräber - Dr. Sommer B1 Davidé, Kilian & Mendoza - Can't Take The Heat (feat. Laurid) B2 Kalipo - Fractal B3 Krink - As Time Goes By
Back once again we serve the incredible, embracing the world of electronic dance clubs and open air raves with heartfelt warmth, organic basslines and a whole lotta love as the people out there simply deserve that. What does that mean at all? For the third time you're entering the musical realms ruled by the Stiff Little Spinners collective which is represening a unique but shared musical vision on limited 12" vinyl and as digital download. Starting things with Gimmix' "Bonnie" that is fusing contemporary House music with an uber-seductive Future Garage twist and frolicking sub bass tones for primetime floors, whilst our SlowHouse loving Rampue introduces his "Insensible Remix" with a fragile James Blake'y vocal vibe that enrolls on top of tender but bouncy 4/4 vision, carrying an ever evolving synth bass and sensitive string structures. The journey continues lead by the (not so) mysterious Torsun Teichgräber which musically re-adjusts the works of "Dr Sommer" - well known to each and every German teen - and builds a raw and well tripping, 8bit-influenced bass trap for pumping DeepHouse dancefloors. A track that features more than one tongue-in-cheek moment without even touching the edge of cheesiness. Plus: have you ever heard a piano being romantic as romantic can get moving whole dancefloors to tears due to it's simple beauty alone? But let's push things forward with the triplet of Davide?, Kilian & Mendoza which are riding a classic LatinHouse structure with ?an't Take The Head? turning it upside down by using a ClubHouse-influenced bassline whilst Laurid's smooth and smoky vocal works provides a true summer vibe. Imagine riding the streets of Miami, pumping this hot jam through a massive car stereo and being the king of the street, living a life without boundaries. This is what this tune is all about before Kalipo's ?raktal? brings back lost and lonely minor piano chords, sparkling over an epic analogue piece that is partly influenced by deepest melancholia but at the same time playful, symphonic and rich in detail, a proper knob-twisting jam that is way more than your regular dancefloor tune. Rounding of this little story is the original Stiff Little Spinner known as Krink who's coming up with a tense and thrilling TechHouse jam for the darkest hours of the night, a moody, film noir'esque piece that sprays a sense of danger and crime from each and every microtone. Stripped down to the bone but appealing like a forbidden fruit this one is true dancefloor force that cannot be denied.

A2. copperfeel B2. FMsquared [epiloggy] [beauvine bonus perc version]
A3. WSsquared [royal wavetable mellodies B] B3. LANsqape4 [short_oneTake]



short info:
Brainwaltzera returns to FILM with a brace of archive recordings in the artist's characteristically idiosyncratic style.

The collection opens with FMsquared [royal wavetable mellodies A], a mesmerizing beatless composition split across two contrasting movements. Synth-focused, the first explores a more introspective tone whilst the second is decidedly more elevated and playful. Follow up good endgar showcases the artist's enviable talent for crafting rolling, wide-open IDM, marrying crisp drum machine hits with washed out pads and a resonant bassline. WSsquared [royal wavetable mellodies B] follows the same pattern as mellodies A, split once again into two movements. This time each movement is markedly more distinct: the first, an atmospheric, half-time dirge and the second a more uplifting and esoteric workout, with crystalline FX breaking up the composition. On LANsqape4 [short_oneTake] Brainwaltzera lets the drums roll out, underpinning more lush synth work with a hint of a break closing in as the piece subsides near its close. Copperfeel, the penultimate offering, is the most reduced work in the collection with a single main melody doing the bulk of the legwork, and buoyed by vocal-sounding synths. FMsquared [epiloggy] [beauvine bonus perc version] closes the collection, a pleasing bookend that sees the riff from the opening track's latter movement return - now underpinned with rolling drums.

Release Info:
Anthony Naples fifth full length LP “orbs” is a moody portal of shoegazed and slo-mo songs suspended in thin air. The album doesn’t reassemble the A.N. sound from the ground up, so much as enhance and expand its scope in all directions. Samples and Instruments meld together into new languorous and liquid forms that with or without the beat of drums, shift with the gentle movements of time.

Yuksek unveils his new album coming as 2LP and CD featuring a bunch of french finest artists on collaboration duty : Breakbot, Polo & Pan, Isaac Delusion, Zombie Zombie, Juveniles ... to name a few!

This fourth album marks a turning point, that of independence and letting go.
For the past three years Yuksek has experimented, collaborated with many artists for no other purpose than shared pleasure, and this album has stood out more than it has been thought out. It's probably his most natural album, the one that sprang up by itself.

At the release of his 3rd album Nous Horizon Yuksek had announced that it would surely be the last, tired of the music system, of touring, then the desire came back with a return to the sources, djing and music for dancing, the one we share, the one that we live with our whole body.

The Latin, Brazilian influence is very clear in his dj-sets, and his collaborations with Fatnotronic (Philippi & Rodrigo) as well as with Processman and his tribute to Hélio Matheus (Mais Kriola) confirm on this album this taste for the Brazilian sound and the richness of its disco and pop scene of the 70's and 80's (Marcos Valle, Gilberto Gil, Di Melo ...).

For some Nosso Ritmo will also sound more Anglo Saxon than the previous ones, perhaps by his uninhibited and more instinctive approach, by his direct filiation with artists such as Sylvester (on Into the light sung by Isaac Delusion) or his tributes to some 90's dirty house sound with G.F.Y. (sung by Queen Rose), This Feeling and Gourgeous composed with Confidence man.

We also find in this album Yuksek's taste for experimentation and destructured and ecstatic electronic pieces, especially on his collaborations with Zombie Zombie and Polo & Pan, on J'aime les Synthes as well as on Burning, produced with his companion longtime studio Jean-Sylvain from Juveniles.

Then there is love and gentleness as in his collaboration with Breakbot & Irfane as well as in Universal love, a sort of low-tempo psychedelic mantra, and a direct affiliation with the first French-touch sound on The Rollercoaster.
Yuksek has been making film music for several years and producing many artists, which has allowed him to refocus his personal project on his essence, his first love, the groove.

His fourth album is the perfect demonstration of this, a generous, modern and referenced dance music album, subtle, timeless and unifying, Nosso Ritmo, the rhythm that connects us.

Release Info:

Released for the first time in 2011, 'Summvs' is the fifth and final installment of Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto's V.I.R.U.S. series. The title 'Summvs' refers to the Latin word "summa" (eng. sum) and "versus" (eng. towards); it serves as a metaphor for the work being oriented towards a collaborative result. The album features "Microon" compositions containing recordings of a 16th tone interval tuning piano - Piano Metamorfoseador Carrillo en Dieciseisavos de Tono. The album also features two covers of the track "By This River," composed by Brian Eno, Dieter Moebius, and Hans-Joachim Roedelius in 1977.

In the album's twelve compositions, Sakamoto's haunting piano arrangements coalesce with Nicolai's digital rhythms, creating a sonic aura as magnetic as it is meditative. Remastered in 2021 in collaboration with Calyx Studio, the album's recordings are accompanied by two new compositions titled 'Monomom' (released digitally in December 2021) and 'Kizuna.' Like 'Monomom,' 'Kizuna' is the studio version of the homonymous composition recorded during Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto's 2019 Australian tour and included in the album' TWO Live at Sydney Opera House" (2019, NOTON). The work 'Kizuna' means 'human bond' in Japanese and refers to the title of an animation piece by the Italian contemporary artist Valerio Berruti released in Japan in January 2011.

Short info:

Searchlight Moonbeam is the new narrative compilation from Time Is Away (Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney) whose eponymous monthly NTS Radio shows, tinctured fusions of fugitive sounds and reverie-inducing archival speech, have won them an ardent following. It follows from the London-based duo’s Ballads, a remarkable driftwerk released on A Colourful Storm in 2022.


Searchlight Moonbeam is an autumnal dreamscape, intimate and vespertine, pensive and irresolute. An imagined community where differences drop off and resonances emerge – between Maher Shalal Hash Baz affiliates Kasumi Trio, Taiwanese score composer Chen Ming Chang whose ‘Rainwater’ (written for Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s 1986 film Dust In The Wind) is exquisitely heartbroken, and the plangent improvisations of self-taught French pianist Delphine Dora.


Revelations are frequent: the bedsit isolationism of Bo Harwood and John Cassavetes’ ‘No One Around to Hear It’ (from The Killing of a Chinese Bookie); the narked minimalism of Klang (an early 2000s band formed by ex-Elastica guitarist and featuring prize-winning experimental novelist Isabel Waidner on bass); the etude-grooves and echoic wobble of below-the-radar French avant-gardists Omertà ; the beautiful, plaintively dubby ‘Is It You?’ by Slapp Happy; a psych-tinged reimagining of PiL’s ‘Poptones’ by Simon Fisher Turner (one half of Deux Filles, and here, recording for él as The King of Luxembourg) that's as perverse as the cover of Throbbing Gristle’s 20 Jazz Funk Greats.


Searchlight Moonbeam is the musical analog of an Italo Calvino novel or a medieval fable. Associative, intuitive, borderless. Emotional and mysterious. Endowed with the tactility of Braille. A private language that is both unknowable and understood. It is a record of the seasons, for the seasons.

2023 marks the tenth anniversary of Time Is Away’s first broadcast. Featuring an evocative essay by writer Jeremy Atherton Lin and disarming cover art by Penny Davenport, Searchlight Moonbeam showcases Rollo and Tierney’s still-unrivalled talent for gloaming melodies, disques du crépuscule, ensorcelled storytelling.

Midnight Embassy is a ping­pong project by songwriter Angela Aux and producer
Sam Irl.
During nightly sessions and on walks together, the two artists have created a palette
of timeless tracks and futuristic sculptures from pop music flotsam. Like if two
archive junkies had synchronized their sketch collections and notebooks so that the
different genres and decades seem to effortlessly swirl through each other: Dub,
Folk, Beatnik literature, Afrobeat & Electronica.
Aux & Irl celebrate a gentle escapism, both cosmopolitan and aloof. This island
mentality sparkles unobtrusively through all five tracks of the debut EP. No fireworks,
no illuminated advertisements, no selfie thunderstorms: they come at dusk, set
shimmering beacons and disappear on a reverberation trail behind the curtain of the
night.

2. GENRE/S: Ambient/ Electronic

3. Info
Pioneers in their own musical approaches, Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, began their exploration of sound in the evocatively titled V.I.R.U.S series in 2002. After more than a decade from the release of the collection's final installment with "Summvs" in 2011, NOTON reissues all the five albums between June and October 2022.

With its impressionistic atmosphere, in this collaborative project two generations met and shared the idea of electronic music as an inspiration source for new musical structures. Over a series of five albums, Vrioon (2002),Insen (2005), Revep (2006), utp_ (2008), and summvs (2011), the duo have explored blending electronic and acoustic sounds into a meditative whole that is at once expressive, breathing and precision-engineered.

Remastered in collaboration with Calyx Mastering, the recordings of Vrioon, Insen, Revep, Utp_, and Summvs are made available on vinyl and CD under the title 'reMASTER, accompanied by exclusive, unreleased compositions and housed in a beautifully designed sleeve with original cover art by Carsten Nicolai.

In November 2022, a dedicated, limited edition cardboard slipcase will be available as a separate item from the V.I.R.U.S. LPs/CDs.
