Roedelius – Wenn der Südwind weht
February 7, 2010
On Sundays we take a step back and turn the dial a notch down. This day of the weekend is a great opportunity to let in the sound waves that massages the eardrums and stimulate the senses.

Toru Ikemoto

It all begun in 2004 in Osaka, Japan where he peeked around the electronic music corner and set his first steps into DJ'ing and producing. A few years later he released as part of an collaboration an EP on German label monoid recordings which was very well received. Well at least as far as I can make up from the none exist...[+]

Native Sounds – Eyes To the Soul
February 4, 2010
For some reason I can't find anything (besides a minimalistic myspace) on "Native Sounds's - Eyes To the Soul" on Soul People Music. But what I do know is that I really like it, and in the end that's all that matters right. "You crazy robot" & "Jumping rope" are the highlights of this KGB covert like 4 track release. ...[+]

Ocelot began working together after Welsh met Kilduff during a BMX holiday in Texas. Together they raise the love child of Proxy and Boys Noize born in the 80's.

Mux Mool – Lady Linda
January 30, 2010
At first blush, Mux Mool’s “Lady Linda” seems an unconventionally low-key choice as the first single from the hyperactive producer. “Lady Linda (from Mux Mool’s debut full-length Skulltaste) doesn’t come roaring out of the gates—rather, it takes its time, shifting from foot to foot like a trench-coated figure i...[+]

Helge Kuhl – Copy Me
January 28, 2010
The new release of Helge Kuhl on Paintwork is hilarious but good! With first track titled "Copy Me" he's referring to copying and stealing music, but probrally also the lack of originality nowadays. Just have a look at the video clip to see what I mean. But besides it very distinctive sound, it's a hell of a track. Guitars a...[+]
