Aquarian Foundation – Silent Teaching EP

by Juno Plus on 18.06.2013 at 12:24pm

Across labels like L.I.E.S, Opal Tapes, The Trilogy Tapes, Future Times, and now Anthony Naples’ newly formed Proibito imprint, it feels as if the market for vinyl-only lo-fi house music is becoming increasingly saturated. Unlike the reams of revivalist ’90s style house that is simply defined by a few tired signifiers however, the “lo-fi” element is often not what defines the majority of these records. Toronto group Aquarian Foundation is the perfect example; despite the thick, grainy VHS fuzz that coats everything, it’s the rich collection of textures and influences that permeate Silent Teaching - their debut for London’s fledgling Going Good – that are what people should be focusing on.

Gold Panda – Half Of Where You Live

by Juno Plus on 18.06.2013 at 09:28am

Back in 1999, David Byrne of the Talking Heads wrote an article in the New York Times entitled “I hate world music”. In it, Byrne argued that the term was terrible because it segregated certain Non-Western sounds from being taken seriously, that the name came packaged with an inherent dismissal of other cultures. ‘World music’ was cute, exotic or weird, but always irrelevant to life in the West. Fifteen years before the NY Times article saw publication, Byrne serenaded a gigantic lamp onstage at the “Stop Making Sense” tour while singing about longing for a sense of home in “This Must Be The Place”. Both the song and article present the same underlying idea: That home can (and should) be everywhere.

Patrik Sjeren – Work That Body

by Juno Plus on 17.06.2013 at 09:00am

Before 2013 rolled into effect it’d been almost 20 years since Patrick Sjeren’s last full release – on the short lived Fuck Pig Records – but if the title track to Work That Body is anything to go by, it certainly doesn’t sound like it. Sjeren is one of techno music’s more enigmatic characters; not in the sense he wears a mask and cape, working under a veil of anonymity, in fact it’s quite the opposite. Sjeren simply stopped making music after 1995 and resurfaced 18 years later.

Stellar Om Source – Joy One Mile

by Juno Plus on 14.06.2013 at 16:36pm

French musician and producer Christelle Gualdi is not your average synth-fetishist. While her reputation was forged through a cluster of Stellar OM Source albums, many self-released, which played around with the almost endless potential of abstract electronica, her musical background is impressively academic. Before moving towards electronic music, she was a double bassist in the Konigin Katharina Stift Schulorchester, studied music theory at Universite Paris VIII, and spent time at the Conservatorie de Paris.

Vedomir – Music Suprematism/Dreams (Marcel Dettmann Remixes)

by Juno Plus on 14.06.2013 at 11:54am

Amsterdam label Dekmantel has enjoyed a slow but steady ascent to recognition, but with just 11 releases in three years – excluding last year’s 5 part anniversary series – they prove that it is better to release music that you feel than feel you have to release music. Overseen by Thomas Martojo and Casper Tielrooij, the label’s rise has been assisted by the fact their informal roster is populated by producers who also perform for them at their events.

Harmonious Thelonious – The Malag

by Juno Plus on 13.06.2013 at 17:00pm

Stefan Schwader is a stealthy character within electronic music. His output as Antonelli Electr. and The Repeat Orchestra (amongst other offerings) have amassed little more than a cult following, and yet they display a gift for unique and heartfelt house and techno that might see other artists exalted upon given the right promotional push. Schwader seems to possess a clear and concise vision within his various creative guises, each alias focused on a specific and consistent goal and operating with that rare mixture of prolificacy and high quality.

MGUN – If You’re Reading This EP

by Juno Plus on 13.06.2013 at 15:33pm

Whilst there’s been a lot (perhaps too much) made about supposed notions of ‘outsider’ house in the dance music media since the turn of the year, this latest record from Manuel Gonzales demonstrates the tag certainly does not apply to him. He returns to Don’t Be Afraid under the MGUN mantle following a breakthrough 12 months that included a debut release for DJ Semtek’s label as well as further 12”’s for equally respected labels in Wild Oats and The Trilogy Tapes.

Boards of Canada – Tomorrow’s Harvest

by Juno Plus on 12.06.2013 at 14:58pm

It’s been a long time between drinks for Boards of Canada pair Mike Sandison & Marcus Eoin. While they were never forgotten – thanks, primarily, to the cultish following they’ve built up over the years – it’s fair to say that much has changed in the musical landscape since the release of their last album, 2005’s The Campfire Headphase.

Felix K – Flowers Of Destruction

by Juno Plus on 12.06.2013 at 09:30am

There’s an alluring sense of trepidation when holding Felix K’s Flowers Of Destruction; 15 flowers – or tracks – planted into three gun-metal discs, encased in glossy silvered sleeves. Its gatefold packaging – greyscale and sleek in design – silently stares back at you like an unopened Pandora’s Box. Central to the album’s artwork are off-cuts of pencil-sketched creepers, reminiscent to the coloured drawings of Roger Corman’s 1960 The Little Shop Of Horrors. An opened gatefold reveals the album’s cover art in its spread and inverted form; a rectangular strip of sprawling ivy, the mutant kind you’d expect to see strangling the walls of Chernobyl, in parts spilling over its rulered edges like tentacles reaching out of a fish tank.

Erdbeerschnitzel – Cushion

by Juno Plus on 11.06.2013 at 14:53pm

Tim Keiling has blossomed as a producer since he first emerged with his particularly quirky brand of sonics in the late 00s. Emerging from the net label scene it wasn’t long before he was snapped up by the likes of 4 Lux and 3rd Strike for his unique and idiosyncratic approach to making house under the colorfully titled Erdbeerschnitzel moniker. If there is an obvious reference point in terms of Keiling’s school of thought in making music, it would most likely be the mixture of tongue-in-cheek nonsense and intricate production skills that typifies Akufen and his like-minded Canadians.

Awanto 3 – Holy Mozes

by Juno Plus on 11.06.2013 at 09:26am

“There has to be soul in it, even if it’s ugly, fast and loud”. It’s a line pulled from Awanto 3′s bio, and an integral part of the ethos of the Amsterdam artist raised as Steven van Hulle, whose releases on Dekmantel, Kindred Spirits and Rush Hour have a knack for intertwining smooth and uncomfortable sounds in a prickly and pleasurable way. For every track that packs a feel-good block party neighbourhood funk, like 2010′s “I’m Cumming Baby” from Hulle’s For Five EP on Rush Hour, there’s a moodier other side, like the distortion-laden collaborations with Tom Trago as Alfabet that sounds like a lone bongo drum being led into the dark woods to be torn to bits by frothing distortion.

Huerco S – Apheleia’s Theme

by Juno Plus on 10.06.2013 at 15:55pm

The long-promised Future Times debut of Kansas City producer Huerco S arrives, with the massive delays for the Apheleia’s Theme 12” symptomatic of pressing plant issues currently plighting many independent record labels based on the East Coast of the US. It’s an issue the label’s Andrew Field-Pickering discussed with us earlier this year, whilst a certain Ron Morelli amusingly ascribes it simply to “unbelievable incompetence”. For Field-Pickering and his Future Times cohort Mike Petillo these kind of delays must be the epitome of frustration, the nightmare scenario that prevents them from doing what they love doing – putting out 12”s – more so when there’s an even more delayed Steve Moore 12” and a Beautiful Swimmers long player also in the offing.

Mike Parker – Lustrations

by Juno Plus on 10.06.2013 at 09:00am

It’s been 12 years since Dispatches, the nominal first album from US producer Mike Parker and in the interim period a lot has changed for the art teacher from Buffalo. The gradual acceptance of more abstract forms of techno has benefited Parker, as has a return to purist, reduced sounds. Like the art that adorns the covers of releases on his Geophone label, Parker’s music embraces the principles of minimalism and forges its own path.

John Roberts – Fences

by Juno Plus on 07.06.2013 at 15:13pm

It’s hard to argue that John Roberts has enjoyed something of a runaway success since he broke through with his Glass Eights debut album back in 2010. Prior singles on Feel Music and Dial had been well received, but the adulation heaped upon that first long player was nigh on unanimous, and deservedly so. That’s not to say that Roberts has in anyway been seen to cynically capitalise on such an achievement, far from it.

Stellar OM Source – Elite Excel

by Juno Plus on 06.06.2013 at 15:25pm

Techno is rarely as thrilling as when it shocks and surprises upon repeated listens. After all, that’s what the genre was built upon; a futuristic mantra that sought to push forwards and expand the emotional and creative horizons of electronic music. Of course techno as a defining tag can mean many things in this day and age, from granite-hewn monochromatic slammers to beatless, synth-drenched sound baths, but this new record from Stellar OM Source seems most closely aligned with the lysergic funk of Juan Atkins in his earliest form, back when techno was a much more compact concept.

Terekke ‎– YYYYYYYYYY

by Juno Plus on 05.06.2013 at 15:00pm

Whilst Terekke fits in on L.I.E.S. as part of the cast of unusual suspects that have come to prominence since the label emerged some three years ago, his soft, smudgy productions have a certain magical quality that’s quite separate from the thrusting, relentless Dance Mania-inspired immediacy of Delroy Edwards, the deranged sonics of Svengalisghost, or Steve Summers’ current lopsided techno manifestation.

Kelpe – Fourth: The Golden Eagle

by Juno Plus on 05.06.2013 at 11:55am

The work of Kel McKeown has always been difficult to pigeonhole. Throughout his career as Kelpe, most spent on J Saul Kane’s formidable DC Recordings imprint, he’s proved adept at delivering music that sits outside of preset genres. A renowned cut-and-splice beatmaker with a passion for live drums, unusual textures, leftfield atmopsherics and fluorescent dayglo synths, his productions have previously drawn comparisons with a wide range of acts.

Rrose – Waterfall Variations

by Juno Plus on 04.06.2013 at 09:15am

What Sandwell District started, Rrose is developing further through the Eaux label. That’s the sense one gets from “Waterfall (Birth)”, the most contemporary-sounding track on Waterfall Variations. In essence with “Waterfall (Birth)”, the mysterious artist has furthered the tunneling, droning sound of the collective, stopping along the way to take in some influences from Mike Parker.

Jon Hopkins – Immunity

by Juno Plus on 03.06.2013 at 12:52pm

It’s fair to say that Jon Hopkins’ Insides was his grand announcement to the world, displaying a regal brand of electronica steeped in musicianship and production prowess from an artist not widely known beforehand. With the power of Domino Records behind him, Hopkins went on from this achievement to collaborate with Brian Eno and King Creosote, as well as undertaking soundtrack work for the 2010 sci-fi film Monsters, seemingly confirming his place in the upper echelons of electronic composition.

Pangaea – Viaduct

by Juno Plus on 31.05.2013 at 12:09pm

There’s always a timeless quality to Kevin McAuley’s music, with the half-life of last year’s Release double pack still lingering in the air even as the Hessle Audio producer is turning his hand to new ventures. The decision to found his own label in Hadal is an interesting one given that, much like Pearson Sound, his musical identity has largely been built around the bedrock of the world beating label they run with Ben UFO. In truth though, there are no rules per se to the sound on Hessle, and likewise on this new release McAuley sounds as exploratory and deft as ever.
