IMYRMIND's debut album UNIWERSUM LUXUS surfaces at record stores worldwide on February 27th, 2017 courtesy of Berlin-based Money $ex Records. Idiosyncrasies of both IMYRMIND himself, and indeed the label as a whole, seep through the fabric of the album; a patchwork of tasteful re-appropriation and sophisticated originality.Covering a broad landscape of raw, gutsy minimalism, mesmeric synthwork and trademark ultra-loose beat-making, IMYRMIND has crafted a record that embodies his rapacious ear and well-groomed production style. In a maturation of techniques explored across earlier releases, borrowed organic textures meet frazzled analogue electronics and clunky, lagging beat iterations in a collection of tracks ranging from the quivering to the aggressive. UNIWERSUM LUXUS is a bright convergence of influence and innovation, all reverberating within the echo chamber of the Money $ex world; self-aware, playful, and at times even ironic.

IMYRMIND debuts on Tartelet with a four-tracker ranging from banging MPC techno to contagious Latin house and laidback jazzy wonk. After finishing a degree in architecture and relocating to Berlin earlier this year, IMYRMIND stepped up his game with the release of his solo debut on Astro & Graef's Money $ex imprint. This November will see the release of the beatsmiths second solo venture on Tartelet Records. The opening track 'Tong Po' is IMYRMIND's take on Techno, inspired by the villain from Jean Claude Van Damme's 1989 cult classic Kickboxer. A heavy pitched kick drum, fuzzy melodies with generous use of tape delay and a badass bass line dropping around the three-minute mark makes this a peak time candidate. 'Wanja 9000' slows down the pace. Dusty Jazz samples and wonky beats with sloppy turntable cuts add a nice live feel to the track. On the B-side 'Upturn' sets the mood with classic salsa percussion infused with an epic brass and piano hook that could very well stem from the infamous Palmieri brothers or one of their contemporaries. Embrace your inner Latino and follow your hips. The last track of the record 'Number Seven' completes the circle with venturous drum programming, layered melodies and plenty of early morning ambiance. IMYRMIND is scheduled for a three week Australia, NZ and Asia tour in November alongside long-time collaborator Glenn Astro. More

Next up is Berlin’s Christopher Rau with his “F.M.E. Hustle” long player. The long time firm favourite delivers 11 tracks full of hiss and soul.
From driven dub techno to cool house and ambient excursions Rau travels far without loosing the interrelation. Analogue club fire coming straight at you in form of a full cover double 12 inch, designed by Rahel Süßkind, including as special insert. United People. M$R. More
