aptly titled the noughties, the latest 12 inch from beats in space records features three tracks recorded between 2005 and 2009 courtesy of tokyos humbly dynamic gonno. a dynamic producer who is clearly not afraid to nest until crucial hatch time, gonno flies the coop with a wingspan throwing psychedelic colour at a sunburst sky. blending a spectrum of musical influences and personal touch points about the people (and animals) he has encountered and the implicit joy / sorrow in that exchange, gonnos productions blur the lines between art and life experience.

the excellent beats in space label continues to impress with each release. following up lauers monster mascat ring down release, eddie rushchas celebrated secret circuit project steps up once again, bringing us *afterlife*. a typically freeform analogue synth workout with fx drenched vocals and that unmistakeable secret circuit vibe who better to handle the remix than the ukraines very own analogue ambassador, vakula. his treatment is a textbook vakula production, warm, expertly evolving, raw machine funk. wrapping things up we have a dub version, in the truest sense of the word, an utterly spaced out and remade rub down. typically superb artwork and shrinkwrapped sleeve packaging as you have come to expect.

following a killer acid-piano house 12inch and contributing a test pressing-certified new-disco chug to a split release with tuff city kids (both) on terre des pommes in 2014, the working elite further refine their ability to soundtrack festivities with rockman / born again. while rockman conveys an understatedly cinematic mood with repeated imitation string cycles over crisp electro foundations, born again presents a new wave / rave endurance test, summoning perspiration from dedicated day-dancers with its metronomic hammer of a beat overlaid with motivating synth-lines like marching toys. on the flip, saap and lauer (tuff city kids) provide inventive interpretations of these tunes, reshaping rockman into a stomping, flashing-lights electro jam while born again gets a delightfully multi-dimensional digi-dub treatment complete with acid-reggae breakdown over a 4/4 house beat.

e ruscha v, who has previously released on the label under the secret circuit moniker, comes back with his first full-length under his given name. ruscha describes who are you as spanning states “from calm to ecstatic but mostly in-between these.” this description points toward the liminal atmospherics of the music, which dispose of the many hallmark genre traces that informed secret circuit’s galactic journeying. for who are you, ruscha was content to wander more intimate environments, in search of an uncharted music rippling with humble discovery. the vinyl release includesd a download code.

cindy appears again in memories of cindy pt. 2, a passage of five plaintive cuts, concisely rendered with spineful percussion, succinct melodies and textures that evoke classic acid house and the new beat scene of the late 80s / early 90s. featured on pt 2. are several songs among the collection s non-club oriented tracks, transportzone mee- and forever afslutidijk, both meditative, atmospheric exercises interspersed among the ep s higher-bpm takes.

following the first two elegiac notes to our dear lost cindy, palmbomen ii s third dedication arrives with the last 12inch available independently of the four piece set and a new episode of real talk. throughout memories of cindy pt. 3, voicings from the palmbomen ii paradigm are pared down to their vascular essentials. pumping iridescent, melodic acid house through club fog and californian smog on ultimate lovestory fantasy, teleac, and disappointment island, the nearly hymnal qualities of wilcos funeral and fat director counter the dance cuts and commemorate cindy with colors reminiscent of schmoelling-era tangerine dream as twisted by kai hugos melon

jacques bon motions through the day’s early energy dawning light. true to the record’s title, bon composed the four tracks for his debut ep on beats in space records in the morning sun, reflecting and refracting the colors of daybreak from his compositions. burning spheres aside, bon draws inspiration from his past in paris, where he slung records at daphonics and started the label, smallville with pantha du prince, and his current life in hamburg, where he frequently helms the legendary decks at golden pudel. both cities and their scenes offer crucial cues for bon’s productions across dawning light and past releases for smallville and mule musiq. beginning with licks from his juno 106, filtered through the glide of a tb303 and foundational fits of his roland drum arsenal, bon embraces simplicity in setup to allow for maximum melody. opening track “island” assembles the palette of dawning light, infusing the ep with a warm glow. “we are” twinkles like the first blinks of awakening, dusting away night’s sleep with golden beams trickled onto tangled bed sheets. “aurora” evokes the first rush of the refreshed energy, shaking off yesterday and centering the mind, body, and soul to power through the hours. the record’s title track bounces with youthful optimism, a fitting end for the four-tracker’s mission of morning praise. each 12&#8243,,, on beats in space records features original artwork in considerate and serial form. andrew kuo’s prismatic painting holds dawning light in good polychromatic company, the geometric colors soft-coded entry point for bon’s music.

for his maiden voyage through space, shan (victor shan, if it matters to you, and it should) offers good to me, a pair of revelatory dancefloor productions inspired by many a long night and early morning spent at the legendary frankfurt institution robert johnson. a finely-tuned specimen of durable, architectural sampling, the 12” title track runs a rigorous course of breakbeat rhythms and classic chords while a diva’s pleas are made and answered within seven minutes of perfect primetime rave. on the flip, shan churns through metallic stabs and primed drum sequences for the devious “version 1.” shan spent close to four years perfecting “version 1” through various dancefloor demos, no more evident than in the stunning arc of this sought after jam.

primavera may lifts you from ordinary life: the apparition of rain clouds and droplets blur into a soft curtain over the world as the whir of delicate hi-hats glisten in a muted sunlight. imagine a moment where the most inanimate inhabitants of the earth ghost dance before disappearing into nothing. makker s spoken vocals add a crestfallen hue to the vanished. she monotonously recites her regret: -everything is dancing / everything is crying / it can feel so heavy / before it has begun- a denser, yet similarly sorrowful song, before i fall asleep is sculpted around nimble strings and webbed by breathy vocals, remaining slightly suspended, as if levitating just above the verdant ground. halfway through primavera april, the track is transformed by acid showers, a lead synth lifts off to reveal a ravaged landscape, diametrically opposing the previous peace. the ambient acceptance snow closes primavera with the self-fulfilling prophecy of its theme: that snow will fall, and the world will go to sleep. conjuring the surreality of renkas childhood landscapes, for all its reverie, primavera always orients itself toward the responsibilities of the present. there is an acknowledgment that all day dreams must lead back to reality, that all journeys must be fulfilled.

mount liberation unlimited is formed of sunbeams, sockerbitar, and swedes ! chance members of a stockholm-based band during their late teens, tom lagerman and niklas janzon found themselves peeling off from the pack to smoke and make techno. dreaming of a global dance music community in which artists are allowed anonymity, the two set out to service this secret society by soundtracking happy-making moments under the mount liberation unlimited guise. mlu s third release, (eerie) for your love, developed organically and inversely from their live set into the studio. in this procedural fluidity, hypnotic live takes animate as tenacious tone, melody, and groove. mlu s method relies upon thee jam, the feeling shared in the moment, and then revisiting that friendzied magic. this dedication to spontaneity is tempered by a naive faith in one another, an unspoken jibber jabber that melds two minds together in childlike harmony.

excellent disco / acid house hypnotizer

a few years ago i took a journey to europe searching for a new sound. people along the journey had been telling me about this guy from tropea, italy called dj steve (named after his favorite musician, stevie wonder).
he is a butcher there by day, but at night he is the dj at a club called casablanca. i made my way to this tiny town in the south of italy and found dj steve. his 12 hour dj sets opened my eyes. this guy was the real deal. he was playing dubplates, vinyl, cassettes, and reel-to-reels. all special edits he had done over the years. i couldnt believe what i was hearing.

cd powder is an alchemist of time. her ceremonious dj sets invite listeners and dancers to extend their imaginations to abstracted spaces, while allowing the body to vessel the voyage in free, flowing style. playful, thoughtful, and natural without knowing, powderÕs crates encourage abandonment of arbitrary boundaries and expectations surrounding genre, movement, schedule, and societal convention to revel, spirited and harmonious, in the passage of time. momoko goto relocated from her hometown of nagasaki, japan to tokyo in 2011. this is where the story of powder, as the international dance music community knows her, begins. with the change in location came a change in lifestyle, where a balance of 9-to-5 office life and sacred, nocturnal recording sessions invited moko to reflect on musics unique ability to stop the clock and expand or shrink our sense of time.
