Shortinfo:
A Sagittariun’s third album chronicles the journey back to Telepathic Heights; an expedition that encounters many obstacles along the way. The feuding parties of the two planets make for a journey of determination and self-discovery for our techno lone ranger that will ultimately deliver him to the sacred site on which Telepathic Heights stands.
Conceived as a space western soundtrack to the cinematic interpretation of this tale, Return To Telepathic Heights delivers ten chapters that journal the ultimate mission to reach the imposing tower of Telepathic Heights, where dream telepathy has become the primary communicative tool amongst its peaceful and harmonious community who have opted out of the planetary war that continues to rage, seemingly with no armistice anytime soon.
The score fittingly winds its way through the trials and tribulations of this journey, blending minimal and harmonic rhythms, industrial funk, dreamy synthwave and transcendental techno into the rich tapestry of music that documents the ‘Return To Telepathic Heights’.
The album features original artwork by Johnny Bruck, fully licensed, and taken from the legendary German science fiction novel series, ‘Perry Rhodan’, which ran weekly from the early 1960s, and was the most successful sci-fi book series ever written.

Re-press of A Sagittariun’s debut 2011 EP on Elastic Dreams. “The Circle Stops Somewhere” has been a
defining release for the British techno explorer, long since out of print since its release seven years ago.
Now the label re-press the original vinyl release that features two amazing MD2 (AKA Mike Dehnert) remixes.
Resident Advisor summarised the debut A Sagittariun release in a glowing review “The Circle Stops Somewhere"
is definitive driving music, even down to the evocation of onrushing traffic in the form of cold, blurred synth stabs.
It's also a nostalgically-observed piece of electronic jazz, the dominant motifs of which transport one into a
crepuscular world of uncertainty and disquiet. The reliable Mike Dehnert turns in two contrasting mixes…”

Tracklist
A1. The Golden Apple
A2. Blue Lotus
B1. Liebe Tanzen

Short info:

More leftfield techno sounds from one of the scene’s more unassuming producers, A Sagittariun delivers a new single stamped with his trademark sound aesthetic. The ‘Fahrenheit 451’ EP brings together three new productions in lieu of a new album coming later in the year.

‘The Golden Apple’ brings together brain scrambling drums, a heavy hoover bassline, and a typically Sagi style wormhole riff, whilst ‘Blue Lotus’ throws tropical shapes around the broken beats that flourish into a rapid 4/4 stomper, with scattering hats and equatorial ambience giving a unique vibe. A Sagittariun strays into disco territory on ‘Liebe Tanzen’, flitting between modern intergalactic synth riffs & basslines, and sampled disco drums.

Tracklist:
A1. Stingray A2. Burning Crystal B1. An Infinite Number Of Possibilities B2. 720 Degrees
Short info:
Fresh from his ‘Vanishing Point single on UK label Hypercolour, which saw the lead track hit the Beatport Leftfield House & Techno sales chart at #1 for four weeks, A Sagittariun is back on his Elastic Dreams label with the ‘Slightly Ajar’ EP.
As always, A Sagittariun brings an eclectic melting pot of flavours to each of his EPs, blending Detroit techno, ambient house, highly charged electro, dramatic synths and transcendental vibes. ‘Stingray’ combines future techno beats with apocalyptic
bass and melodious keys, with an almost early 1980s synth pop vibe to it, whilst ‘Burning Crystal’ is the kind of introverted and deep ambient electronica that has shaped the two A Sagittariun albums (2013’s ‘Dream Ritual’ and 2016’s ‘Elasticity’).
‘An Infinite Number Of Possibilities’ is relentless, frenetic and funky, as a myriad of warped sounds and riffs flash past the heavy drum work, and ’720 Degrees’ closes the EP with crunchy 808 electro patterns, FM bass and huge melancholic strings
straight out of the Derrick May rule book. A Sagittariun will be performing at the Berghain, Berlin on 26th August, showcasing a new live set before embarking on further dates at the end of the year.

special release, 12" white label, hand stamped with Hypercolour logo. Limited to 200 copies!

Tracklist 12":
A1. Vanishing Point
B1. The Pathway (Original Mix)
B2. The Pathway (Matrixxman Remix)

Short info:
One of the current techno scene's 'hidden treasures', Bristol based A Sagittariun has discretely released a wide breadth of music over the last five years for labels like Secretsundaze, Hypercolour and his own Elastic Dreams label. Two highly acclaimed albums in "Dream Ritual" and "Elasticity" as well as fifteen EPs have appealed to those who like their techno without frontiers, taking in blistering 140BPM techno, breakbeat IDM and ambient dub with ease. His second release for Hypercolour displays signs of crossover appeal at long last…

Lead track "Vanishing Point" has already been receiving early plays from the likes of Laurent Garnier (dropping it in his recent Timewarp Germany set), Spencer Parker and Len Faki. Big pumping beats and spiralling FX fall aside to a lone breakbeat that ushers in one pretty special breakdown section. The childlike keys and fathoms deep synth stabs (straight out of the John Carpenter school of fathoms deep synth stabs) have already drawn comparisons to the retro 80s vibes to be heard on the American sci-fi horror series Stranger Things. It's a breakdown that takes the listener to an uncharted dimension, bookended by slammin' beats that acts as a perfect mood changer in any set. Watch this one soar!

"The Pathway" keeps things on an all together straighter tip; an incessant tribal loop weaves and filters around a thunderous kick and shuffling hats, ebbing and flowing all the way in what might be A Sagittariun's most club-centric and stripped back production yet. Matrixxman (Dekmantel/Spectral Sound) is on hold to deliver a superb remix; pushing the original down a long dark tunnel for a growling and reverberating techno overhaul. Splendid stuff from the San Francisco based DJ/producer who is making serious waves on the scene after his landmark 2015 album 'Homesick' for Ghostly International.

Tracklist
A1. Curviture A2. Bleepanomix
B1. Kobalt B2. Floating On Salt Water

Short info:

A Sagittariun continues to release primarily on his own Elastic Dreams label, and 'The Magick Box' EP features four tracks that come nearly 12 months on from the uncompromising techno of the 'Contortion'/'Concrete Walls' single and the second full length album odyssey, 'Elasticity'.

Taking in pacey techno cuts 'Curviture' and 'Kobalt', cruising electro vibes on 'Floating On Salt Water' and wigged out industrial funk on 'Bleepanomix', once again 'The Archer' delivers a varied collection of new tracks on the EP.

Vital Sales Points:

- Previous singles on Secretsundaze, Hypercolour and Elastic Dreams were very well received
- A Sagittariun's second album, 'Elasticity', was released in April 2016 to glowing reviews and polled in the Mojo Magazine Top 5 Electronic Albums Of The Year

A : Heights (Jus' Rushin Mix) B1: Oxidize (Original Mix) B2: Oxidize (RVDS Remix)

Infotext:
After his exciting album "Elasticity" on his own imprint Elastic Dreams, A Sagittariun delivers the equally fascinating three track "Oxidize EP" for german label Couldn't Care More. While "Heights" is a stripped-down basic-channelish techno ride, rough, edgy and with a hint of hypnotic melodies, the title track heads in a quite different direction: still it's raw expressionistic techno, but the flow is ever-changing, mesmerizingly shifting and twisting between hissing beats and enlightened synths. For the remix of "Oxidize" Golden Pudel Club resident and odd-house virtuoso RVDS fires up the acid machine and does it Detroit style, warm and cold, uplifting and melancholic.

Black Starliner C3. Transmission from Robert D1. Chapter & Verse D2. Resurrection Of A Memory D3. Transmission from Jesse
Short info:
Ambient techno exponent, A Sagittariun, fires off another full-length album transmission this April on his own Elastic Dreams label. 'Elasticity' is the Bristol based artist's second long player, and the follow up to his acclaimed 2013 debut, 'Dream Ritual'.
Having last released a trio of singles in early 2015 (for Hypercolour, Secret Sundaze and Elastic Dreams), 'Elasticity' marks a return for A Sagittariun, and fans of the slippery and elastic sounds that hallmarked his debut album will not be disappointed. 'Dream Ritual' helped firmly establish A Sagittariun as an artist whose musical chops and integrity operate largely outside of the mainstream and a producer who chooses to put the music firmly center stage, whilst opting to remain relatively anonymous within the music scene.
A Sagittariun explains; "Elasticity was recorded over quite a short period, but the sketches and ideas have been germinating for some time, so sonically it's very coherent and consistent and moves in a way that I personally like albums to move in, with a narrative and flow that holds you right to the end. The recipe for Elasticity was always to be malleable and pliable with the sounds and tempos; for me it's all about the listening experience, and creating a landscape and a world within that one can really get deep into and explore, it's optimistic and progressive music for the head, heart and feet. I really do advise the listener to don headphones and take the trip with me".
Over the album's 11 tracks, and a supporting cast of 'transmissions' from the likes of Robert Anton Wilson and Terrence McKenna, 'Elasticity' delves into a myriad of textured sounds and pliable rhythms, touching of ambient, industrial, breaks and dub influences. A two track 12" single, "Contortion"/"Concrete Walls" will be released one month prior, and features a couplet of 140 BPM techno tracks.

B2. A Sagittariun’s Friday Night At Happy Jacks Remix
Short info:
With a brimming catalogue of music that operates in the more adventurous quarters of the techno music genre, A
Sagittariun preps his first release of 2018, with a remix disc of one the Holy Grail of tracks from one of the most
endearing electronic acts of the 1990s.
The Sabres Of Paradise, AKA Andrew Weatherall, Gary Burns and Jagz Kooner, released a clutch of
acclaimed albums, singles and remixes between the years 1992 and 1995, when the trio disbanded. Three
albums for Warp, remixes of The Future Sound Of London, Leftfield & Lydon, Bjork, New Order and The
Dust Brothers (AKA Chemical Brothers), and not forgetting the now legendary ‘Smokebelch II’ single, which
must have soundtracked hundreds of thousands of sunsets and chillout after hours over the years, have left a
huge treasure trove of a catalogue as part of their legacy.
One production though has gone down in Sabres folklore, since its release was limited to inclusion on one multi
artist compilation CD album only, and it is this track, ‘Lick Wid Nit Wit’, that A Sagittariun has unearthed, licensed
and re-moulded, 25 years after it was produced, for release on his Elastic Dreams label.

Short info:
Hitting a particularly fertile patch with his music, A Sagittariun continues to ride the night skies with some heavy doses of cosmically sprinkled techno and kinetic electronica. 'Aruba (Overhead Mix)' is a seductive jam of Nuyorican (tech) soul, cloaked in warm synths with a breathy, human quality and deft melodies to ensure a smooth takeoff for the passengers. Lead cut on the vinyl is 'The Code Breaker', channeling some enchanting techno moods and themes on a no gimmicks, no cheap thrills, head & foot stomper, whilst 'Triangulum' prefers a mechanical rhythm of robotic tech funk, syrupy melodies and acidic motifs to deliver a dance in outer space.

UPC: 827170537866 Release : 10.03.2014
Tracklist 12": A1. Wave Upon Wave A2. Re-Ignition B1. Ascella B2. And The Moon Be Still As Bright
A Sagittariun returns to Elastic Dreams after 2013's incredible debut album, 'Dream Ritual'. Having picked up such accolades as Electronica Album Of The Month (December, Mojo Magazine) and No. 6 Best Album on 2013 (DJ Magazine), A Sagittariun gets right back to business with this eclectic 4 track release.
'Wave Upon Wave' channels frenzied breakbeats and rolling acid-like riffs, whilst 'Re-Ignition' and 'Ascella' are clearly designed for the dancefloor, with muscular and Teutonic beats underpinning more celestial sounds. EP closer, 'And The Moon Be Still As Bright' is cut from the same cloth as the 'Dream Ritual' sessions, highly emotive and intelligent dance music, wrapped up in cloud of shimmering pads.

EDREAMSCD001 UPC: 827170134225 Release : 11.11.2013

Tracklist CD
01. Sundial 02. Crystallization feat. Skip McDonald 03. V4641 Sgr 04. Conquering Lions
05. Seven Locks (In Dub) 06. The South Node 07. Trine 08. The Age Of Sin 09. Year Of The Ox 10. The Mind Has No Time 11. A Lucid Dream (Original Dream) 12. Network Restoration

The shadowy UK techno artist, A Sagittariun, releases his debut album this November, to coincide with the Sagittarius zodiac period. "Dream Ritual" comes off the back of a steady stream of well received EPs from 'The Archer' on his own Elastic Dreams label, releases that have captured the imaginations of the electronic community for their depth and diversity, where old techno breaks collide with Detroit techno aesthetics, ambient dub sits alongside industrially charged electro, and many more sound palettes inbetween. A 2012 Resident Advisor podcast perfectly encapsulated the A Sagittariun mood, and the uninitiated should definitely check this out.

"Dream Ritual" continues this journey through moods and tempos, each track sprinkled with this stargazing quality. Opening track "Sundial" sets the tone, the percussive elements teasing in and out of a melodious, thick analogue cloud.

"Crystallization" sees A Sagittariun collaborate with veteran guitarist Skip McDonald (Sugarhill Gang/Tackhead/On-U Sound), whos guitar licks have graced Sugarhill classics like "The Message" and "White Lines", as well as working with the likes of James Brown, Afrika Bambaataa, George Clinton and more…The sprawling dub tinged piece evokes shades of Boards Of Canada, spacey guitar licks meet downtown with A Sagittariun's take on ambient dub…

The album weaves its way through a heady mix of sounds, be it the old skool breakbeats of "Conquering Lions" and "A Lucid Dream", the driving classic techno sounds of "V4641 Sgr", "The South Node" and "Network Restoration", industrial slabs of dub funk on "The Age Of Sin" and "Seven Locks (In Dub)" and the concentrated jazzy electronica of "The Mind Has No Time".

"Dream Ritual" represents the versatility of A Sagittariun, and presents a collection of music for the listening experience as opposed to a dancefloor record, hopefully following the lineage of some of the classic techno and electronic albums that have paved the way and most definitely influenced A Sagittariun on this record.

Genres: Dub Techno, Techno, House


ZentaSkai and Laura Merino Allue return to Mask Records as Cuddling Monsters with volume two of their vinyl-only house and techno series


Tracklist:
A1 Dark REM
A2 Monster Talk
B1 Event Horizon
B2 Temporal Aura

Arriving on a limited 200-copy translucent orange vinyl, 'Dark REM' on Cuddling Monsters’ second release on Mask Records is a hunched-over and direct dub techno cut with forceful drums and deft percussion, adding texture next to warm, sustained pads.
There's a real sense of urgency in this most frictionless groove, which means it cannot fail to cast a spell on the dance floor. The fantastic 'Event Horizon' is then infused with the aura of deep space - sustained chords with a cosmic edge add vast scale to the well-programmed deep techno drums. 'Monster Talk' is a mid-tempo dub track with underlapping drums and rattling, rusted chords that disappear to infinity. It's cavernous and evocative, with myriad little details occupying the mind. 'Temporal Aura' is another standout sound that blends deep techno, dub, and minimal into a serene soundtrack that encourages inward reflection while driving onwards through the cosmos.
Mask Records founder ZentaSkai and his creative partner Laura Merino Allue are Berlin mainstays helping shape the underground. Cuddling Monsters is a new project that debuted on the label in March. It is all about crafting music with analogue instruments, which they believe "offer distinctive sonic qualities, creative constraints, and genuine sound reproduction”. They explore Detroit-infused house, dub techno and minimal soundscapes with raw edges and a great sense of atmosphere. Cuddling Monsters' 'Cuddling Monsters_CM Vol. 02' releases via Mask Records on 6th December 2024.

New liner notes by Martyn Pepperell

The musician and DJ Ken Ishii sits right at the pinnacle of techno's most noteworthy, but although a game changer for the artist personally - and for Japanese electronic music in general - his 1994 album 'Reference to Difference' is something of an unsung gem today.

Now reissued and remastered, released to mark the 30th anniversary of Musicmine / Sublime Records, and available on vinyl with its original track-list for the first time, this stunning, lesser-known classic is ripe for rediscovery.

Born 1970 in Sapporo, Ishii was introduced to electronic music at a young age through arcade games, and Japanese and German pioneers like Yellow Magic Orchestra, Isao Tomita and Kraftwerk. During his teens, he absorbed new wave, synth-pop, EBM and industrial, before making a life-changing discovery of Detroit techno in the late 80s.

As the 1990s dawned, so did his introduction to Black Dog Productions and Warp Records' Artificial Intelligence compilations. Blown away by the emerging British and American IDM, braindance, and ambient techno movements, he quickly folded their influence into his still-developing but cultivated aesthetic.

A futuristic confluence of unplaceable ambient atmospheres, space age techno, IDM and minimalist composition, 'Reference To Difference' unfolds as an effortless series of exercises in pristine synth textures, robust man/machine rhythm and understated melodies. It teleports the listener back to a golden moment in the mid-1990s, when a dedicated generation rose out of Tokyo's storied clubs and took the innovation, energy, and creativity of Japan's unique techno culture to the world.

Opened in 1993, Maniac Love was a new nightclub where Manabu Yamazaki aka DJ Yama promoted the Sublime parties, which soon became a crucial hub within the burgeoning Tokyo underground. It was here where Yamazaki rubbed shoulders with peers including Ishii and Susumu Yokota, and the trio's future became intertwined.

Much like Ishii, the late Susumu Yokota began his musical career by reaching out to Europe. Not long before Ishii released his debut longplayer 'Garden On The Palm' through Belgium's R&S, Yokota released his debut LP 'The Frankfurt-Tokyo Connection' through Harthouse, the German label co-founded by Sven Väth. In the wake of both records' overseas success, Ishii and Yokota set a benchmark for techno in Japan.

By 1993, as they both became in-demand producers and DJs, it felt like their dreams were coming true. Through talking with Ishii and Yokota, Yamazaki became emboldened to transform Sublime into a record label.

Soon after, Yamazaki partnered with Hideoki Amano, who was on the verge of founding Musicmine, a now respected and longstanding independent Japanese music company. As Yamazaki tells it, Amano helped him turn his dream into a reality: Sublime Records.

For Musicmine and Sublime Records' inaugural album releases, Yamazaki and Amano approached both Ishii and Yokota, resulting in the simultaneous drop of 'Reference To Difference' and 'Acid Mt. Fuji' respectively, on June 29th 1994.

Yamazaki remembered 'Reference To Difference' being well received by DJs, listeners, record store buyers and journalists, stating "people were excited by this new wave of music coming out of Japan, and had high praise for its unique sound."

With the pair of LPs further stamping Japan on the contemporary musical globe, the scene was beginning to boom at home too. Specialist record stores, and club music magazines like Ele-King and Loud spread the word, and in the wake of Maniac Love's impact, new nightclubs like the legendary Liquid Room were opening up, bringing a steady stream of world-famous DJs to the Japanese capital.

"Without a doubt, I think the arrival of Ken Ishii was a major turning point for the Japanese music industry in the 1990s," Amano reflected. "Nowadays, the Western club music scene is rediscovering Japanese techno from the 1990s, and digging our music is a common sight, but before Ken Ishii, no Japanese DJ was in sync with the global club music scene. He was the catalyst."

"Looking back, I can tell it was meaningful that this was one of the first techno albums by a Japanese artist that was released on a Japanese label," Ishii reflects. "Maybe I did something that bridged between old school Japanese electronic music and 'new school' techno in line with the Detroit sound with this record" he adds, in modest understatement.
The new liner notes were written Martyn Pepperell, a well-regarded music journalist who has covered Susumu Yokota for Wax Poetics and Midori Takada for Dazed, amongst numerous other articles.

Short Info
Within Tiga’s stripped-down electronic funk and Hudson Mohawke’s grandiose beats exists a common thread; an idea Tiga expresses as “hardcore romance”. Recorded in Los Angeles over the last few years, these commonalities ebbed and flowed through various recordings, culminating in their debut album - L’Ecstasy. Turbo revisits the album with a set of club-driven remixes, bringing together Keinemusik’s Reznik, Montreal masters Priori & Patrick Holland as Jump Source, and Berghain stalwart Quelza. Pressed loud on a stunning 12” picture disc, featuring imagery from none-other-than Wolfgang Tillmans.

Key Selling Points
- Tiga & Hudson Mohawke are remixed by two of Berlin’s very best, plus a pair of Montreal masters.
- Stunning 12” picture disc features imagery from none-other-than Wolfgang Tillmans.
