Rustie’s sophomore full length Green Language sees its release next month on August 26.

Their collaboration efforts were first heard on Brown’s 2013 LP Old on which Rustie produced several tracks.

Nearly three years ago Rustie released his game changing debut record Glass Swords pushing to the forefront the “maximalist” sound in electronic music while helping to put Glasgow on the map as one of the centers of forward thinking electronic music.

Jalilah’s Raks Sharki Oriental Dance Series is Back with Stagecuts

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , , , on July 5, 2014 by J.D.

final_promo_yusuf.inddThe best of the pioneering Jalilah‘s Raks Sharki oriental dance series in 16 stage cuts for a new generation of dancers and performance spaces, selected by Jalilah herself. Traditional songs – edited and remastered – are presented in 16 crunchy shortened tracks, selected from six previous albums. A current development shows that Stage Cuts has its finger on the pulse of the times – the facts speak for themselves: In earlier times the typical length for a dance performance on festivals was between 10 to 20 minutes – nowadays the time limit is usually under five minutes.

Taken from Mokhtar Al-Said‘s “El Ferqa Al Mesaya” Orchestra, to Hossam Shaker and his Ensemble, to the magical melodies and rhythms of Ihsan Al-Mounizer, this record fulfills the highest artistic demands, mirroring Jalilah’s attachment to her idols:

”Stage Cuts is a tribute to the great names in Oriental Dance history − to all these musicians, composers and most of all to the per formers who love and cherish this beautiful dance form!“, so Jalilah states her intention for the new release. But also lovers of Oriental Dance music will find what their hearts desire, bridging tradition and modernity

Plastikman – EX (Preview)

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , on June 6, 2014 by J.D.

Plastikman - EX
Plastikman, aka Richie Hawtin, recorded EX at the Guggenheim, New York’s iconic art museum. This very special performance was at the invitation of influential Belgium fashion designer and artistic director at Dior, Raf Simons, for the Guggenheim’s annual fundraiser, performed around a specially constructed LED obelisk.

Richie Hawtin explains, “I knew that Raf was a long time Plastikman fan so by accepting his offer to perform at the Dior event at the Guggenheim I knew I’d set myself up to a huge challenge. Although Raf was happy to have the already complete Plastikman Live 1.5 show, I locked myself away in a series of intense studio sessions and quickly recorded enough new material for the performance and realized I might also have enough for a complete new album. The music came out of me effortlessly as I was very inspired by the opportunity to play in this beautiful architectural space renowned more for art than music. The location also allowed me to step far away from the dancefloor, giving me a huge amount of freedom to EXplore any sonic ideas that I had. Art, music, architecture, painting, sculpture – these mediums are supposed to live together.

Psycho & Plastic – Gold/Rush(Stream)

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , , , , on May 28, 2014 by J.D.

Psycho & Plastic - Gold RushGold/Rush (GiveUsYourGOLD, May 30th 2014), Psycho & Plastic’s second double-A-sided single continues their journey of psychedelic electronica through the year 2014. Compared to their previous outing Jello/Sugar (GOLD002), the Berlin based duo crank up the pitch a notch and transport us deep into their idiosyncratic universe of sounds.
“Gold” sees us bouncing right along the edge of spontaneous combustion. We surf on synthesizer-waves through a Berlin gilding itself. Nocturnal creatures rustle and scuttle on this shiny surface, under which a menacing bass rumble tells an altogether different story. But before the overheated city bursts into flames, “Rush” hurls us towards the rainforest. In this jungle, exotic silicon based lifeforms, synths and guitars snake through the thicket. A clearance lets us take a short breather, then a flood of modulations sweeps us away through the canopy.

HUORATRON – EP out July “An intuitive artist and composer, an alchemist of the esoteric art of sound”

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , on May 21, 2014 by J.D.

?????????On the 7th July, the highly anticipated Acid Reign EP from Huoratron arrives. Released on Last Gang Records, the home of Crystal Castles, MSTRKRFT, Ryan Hemsworth and Purity Ring, the 3 track EP follows on from his debut album Cryptocracy which won Bronze in the European Design Awards.

Forged in the electrical fire of industrial; nurtured through the apocalyptic feedback of art rock, experimental and all things disruptive; and championed by the most influential names in EDM and beyond, Huoratron is deeper, stranger and harder than whatever you thought was before.

Of the EP Huoratron explains; “As always, my work is informed by my perception of salient events in world politics and the global economy, but also by the growth and increasing unity of mind apparent in the music of Huoratron. It’s becoming better and the seams on the Frankenstein are disappearing.“

Huoratron was formed as a dogmatic underground art concept: in his origins he took limited technology in the form of Gameboys, and forced the gadgets to spit out a distorted wall of sound like no-one had done before. The equipment has evolved in a logical progression with the music ever since.

The man behind the moniker of Huoratron, Aku Raski, has a multitude of forces at work within him. On one hand he is an intuitive artist and composer, an alchemist of the esoteric art of sound. On the other hand he is a scientist, who crafts sounds and beats with the care of a 17th century violin-maker. And he is also a performer – a bearded showman who moshes his way into the hearts of his audiences.
