“The next number comes from the overseas, we are glad particularly to you our Mexican friend and brother G.U.A. (Global Union Amplifier) to be allowed to introduce. It is his first publication on DAST Net Recordings. His sound vision is a rapid roller coaster journey, however, it is nothing as well as it seems, rolling basses, feathery synthetic house elements, sex, rock and a gigantic grin in the face are the quite normal effect during his show. But it is also his intention that ‘The dance floor must burn’!”

“The collection of tracks represents everything Alt is about, from deep experimental weirdness to peak-time dancefloor business. There are tracks on offer from nearly all the artists we have released since the beginning, and we are very pleased to welcome some new faces. You’ll recognise some of them, and may have never heard of others, but they all share the same twisted vision for where house, techno, electronica (and any other form of music) can go in the future. Leif kicks things off with the mighty ‘Pushing Hands’, a loosely knitted bongo freakout that keeps the lounge-jazz vibe he is known for, but pushes his handling of percussion to a new level. Tone Def’s remix of Daniel Schneider’s ‘Miesekatze’ track takes a very different route, stripping everything back to it’s barest elements, with a trademark grooving beast of a bassline propelling the beat along. New to Alt, Le Jockey turns the pace up with a delightfully mental track full of pulsating techno rhythm, choppy micro-samples and a healthy dose of humour. Donk Boys take their sound deeper than usual on ‘Avgrundens Harskare’ (which means “lord of the abyss” apparently) for a sinister track rich in detail and melody.Tone Def’s latest offering is pure four to the floor funk, all nagging hi-hats and quirky ticks riding over a granite bottom end. Tom Ellis returns to the Alt fold with a textbook bumping, grinding house cut full of tricksy rhythms and that unmistakable Trimsound funk. Just when you thought it was safe on the floor, Daniel Schneider throws a hefty curveball in the shape of ‘Ask That Bitch’ that rains down gallons of beautifully choreographed sounds. J-Lab pulls things back with ‘Somewhere’, carrying that trademark melodic moodiness that permeates his tracks before blossoming into an electro-flecked party monster. Closing down the party, Storlon’s penchant for trippy soundscapes goes to the next level on ‘Oenologia’, possessing an immense level of sound design.”

“Prepared and unprepared double bass routed through electronics in a set-long improvisation recorded live at Bella in Washington DC 14 June 2011.
Steve Hilmy and Daniel Barbiero have worked together to create soundscapes for the Nancy Havlik Dance Performance Group since 2009. This independent collaboration explores an intuited spectralism arising from the combination of live electronics and processed double bass.

Steve Hilmy: electronics & manipulations
Daniel Barbiero: amplified double bass”

“The Inner Peace is the debut full-length of the ambient techno/dub techno duo Abstract Nostalgic Fractal Systems. The album was preceded by mx01 EP, released in November 2011. The duo comments that ‘the album is a repetitive addition to our first EP’ and ‘is an album that grows inside you, when the more you listen to it’. The Inner Peace follows the minimalistic style of mx01 EP, with long and repetitive compositions. M1A1 stated that ‘[he] was tired of using only synthesizers on a PC’. For the album, M1A1 wanted to leave aside the digital synthesizers and samplers on laptop: ‘The album is a battle space of 55 minutes between analog and modular tones, modulated noises and field recordings’.”

“Welcome to the sixth release of Cicuta Netlabel. From Cicuta always try to support the Spanish artists, as we believe that within our borders there is an excess of talent, perhaps in the welter of names who daily come to the fore, are a little forgotten. There is a special artist, whom we met a few years ago, and surprised us with his talent and his way of feeling the music, which we do not accept that, and we try to give it the support it deserves. We’re talking about Bran Lanen.

Bran is an artist from León (Spain), passionate defender of hardware and analog. So far his career in the musical has been pretty tied to netaudio, having published on netlabels like Zimmer, Antiritmo or Geometrika, but that has not stopped him getting a great success in a commercial label such Labrynth, publishing under his aka Lifeblood.

In this EP, Bran offers 4 intense tracks, deep, mental, full of nuances that surround you in an atmosphere of darkness which is not easy to leave. Of course, without ever losing sight of the dance floor…

As for the remixers, on the one hand we have from Zagreb (Croatia) to Robert Pain, one of the artists who are making waves in the underground circuit techno artists. His label, Black Queen, despite having little reference is becoming a must for lovers of deep and dark techno. We note particularly the reference number 1, which has been played by a lot of great dj on the world stage.

Finally, and as always, from Drugstore bring our usual remix, in this case giving a more powerful vision to the track Lost Procedures.”

“Bleepsequence is happy to welcome Myniciush to the fold, who are quickly building a reputation for themselves in the netaudio world with their take on unconventional downtempo techno. Their three pieces here for Los Cucos Curtidos definitely take their time to generate a head space, and proceed to immerse the listener into some kind of dark and devious coffee house where the barista might have slipped something into your espresso. Some of our blpsq regulars popped in for a drink as well, along with a first time visit from m_Patcher (aka booPhases), and all of them bring their own unique blends to round out the release.”
