MIKE DEHNERT | Lichtbedingt (Delsin Records)

Three years after his last full-length album on Delsin, tireless techno producer Mike Dehnert is back with Lichtbedingt, exploring broken bass, swinging house and beatless electronic experimentalism amongst other things. Key to this album and Dehnert’s output as a whole is, besides the killer grooves, the production: crisp and clean, full blooded and always outstanding, it makes his tracks leap out of the speakers and into minds, bodies and souls without relying on the usual tropes or same old cheap tricks. Currently available in our shop.

LARS LEONHARD Halos | N.A.S.A. video

Take a look at this interesting video from N.A.S.A. featuring the track Halos from Lars Leonhard’s latest EP. An international team of astronomers exploring the disk of gas and dust of the bright star Beta Pictoris have uncovered a compact cloud of poisonous gas formed by ongoing rapid-fire collisions among a swarm of icy, comet-like bodies. The researchers suggest the comet swarm may be frozen debris trapped and concentrated by the gravity of an as-yet-unseen planet.

The Passport - Movie by Amund Lie | Available on iTunes

The Passport – Movie by Amund Lie | Available on iTunes

Amund Lie’s short movie is now available from iTunes featuring music by Vincent Villuis aka AES Dana. The Passport is a sci fi psychological drama with Vincent Schiavelli, Leif Andrée, Lars Arentz-Hansen to name but a few. It is also Mr. Schiavelli´s last film performance and one of his few leading roles.

Synopsis : “No matter how innocent you may be, they can always make you feel guilty… As the result of a flippant remark during routine passport control, a traveller awakens the suspicion of a security officer and is taken aside for interrogation. He is confronted by a high-ranking official who questions his identity and his intentions. The Passport is a commentary on today’s terrorist paranoia when anyone, anywhere can be detained in the name of national security.”
