ARIS KINDT Floods | Scissor and Thread

Filed Under: News

Francis Harris returns to his own Scissor & Thread label under the Aris Kindt alias with the release of a new album titled Floods. This most recent project has been written in collaboration with longtime friend and guitarist Gabe Hedrick and precedes Harris’ sophomore solo album, Minutes of Sleep, released on the same imprint in 2014.
As stated in a press release, it took the artists over a year to write the entire project, “using a vintage 808, a modular eurorack and two guitars” as main tools.

SYNKRO Changes | Apollo recordings

Filed Under: News

Apollo Recordings is proud to announce Synkro’s long awaited debut album Changes. Having forged his career in the dubstep era, with nearly 40 releases to his name, Synkro aka Joe McBride has always resisted easy classification – his music winds together such diverse influences as Boards Of Canada, dBridge, Burial and Oneohtrix Point Never, whilst still remaining utterly unique.

SILENT HARBOUR Hinterland | Deep Sound Channel

Filed Under: News

Once again the dutchman from the north Boris Bunnik (who actually resides in Rotterdam now, but that aside) is showcasing his magic fingers, this time on Shipwrec’s deep techno offshoot Deep Sound Channel. Hinterland is a topnotch ice-cold but heartwarming submarine electro/techno album with distant hints of IDM, in other words the perfect soundtrack for the long midwinter nights to come.

RECONDITE Placid | Acid Test

Filed Under: News

When Recondite aka Lorenz Brunner emerged with his debut LP for Acid Test (2012’s On Acid), we were still learning about the German producer’s inward-looking dance floor sound. A few years later, his sinewy jams have proved near universal – like an underground Zelig, he’s fit perfectly everywhere from Rødhåd’s Dystopian to Ghostly International and Innervisions. Acid Test also allows Recondite the chance to indulge his more outré tendencies and a welcomed return it is.

DIGISEEDS – V/A Compiled by Ambientium (Ultimae) | pre-order

Filed Under: News

Release date : 17th December 2015 – Pre-order Period.
DIGISEEDS is the first chapter in a series of Ultimae compilations conceptualized by Czech artist Lubos Cvrk aka Ambientium. As an electronic music stakhanovite, Lubos brought together composers from all around the world to create a story which slowly enwraps the listener in a soft and eerie ambient reverie. From minimal acoustic patterns melting into intense pads, ethereal dub lines blending with glitch, gentle electronica and a certain neo-classical aesthetics, DIGISEEDS paints new grounds and plays with textures to achieve a soothing and swirling dive in experience for the listener.

NILS FRAHM & ÓLAFUR ARNALDS – Loon | Vinyl

Filed Under: News

Containing five synthesiser-led pieces, Loon was recorded in autumn 2014 across five days at Nils‘s Durton Studio in Berlin, and continues on from the ambient sounds of Stare but with the addition of more percussive elements and dub influences. For this new EP the duo wired an Oberheim 4 Voice and a Korg PS3100 to the mixing desk and performed live takes on both instruments. With all four hands on its pots, all mixes were recorded straight onto 2-track ½-inch tape.
