oslo is happy to welcome new artist federico lijtmaer to the family with his wonderful ep impermanencia. inpermanencia on the a-side is a superb deep house track with the right kind of funkyness for the cool. federico combines smooth bass with shifty drums and classy synth action. this track will conjure a smile on your face and we are happy as hell to be able to release this little gem. unselfish on the b-side is as funky as its big brother on the flip-side. a throwback to bygone times in a way, if you consider labels as mosaic or trelik. however, federico definitely succeeded in terms of a modern interpretation. the inclined listener will recognize his musical roots anyway.

the maaskant polychoral style was a type of music of the late modern electronics and early indie eras which involved spatially separate voices singing in alternation. it represented a major stylistic shift from the prevailing polyphonic writing of the early electronic generation, and was one of the major stylistic developments of the 90s which led directly to the formation of what we now know as the pure modern style. a commonly encountered term for the separated analog choirs is cori analogici spezzati — literally, phased choirs. the a-side, featuring eyo olokun, signifies unfathomable deep grooves. that is, the instinct that there is something worth knowing, perhaps more than can ever be learned, especially this bassline that most people spend a lifetime pondering.

2014 has been a slow year for sequencias in terms of releases. most of our energy has been spent towards the development of different projects, like our new webstore, that has become an outlet for us to share some of the records that influence the way we do things. so, with the wax offering slowing to a mere trickle, who better to entrust with our sole release for the rest of the calendar year? dcantu, of course. cantus electro-heavy sound is fleshed out here and while still lean enough for dance floors, it makes bolder moves into atmospheric and melodic territory.
good morning children, welcome to school ! what might be known from ipoly mate 003, got a very different context here in the title track. heavy club food, flavoured by alec troniqs love for the energy of the early 90s. the chain was originally induced by old man trouble and then impulsively got the blues by alec troniq. it has a special place in their hearts and continues alec s series of crossovercollaborations in 2014.
it has been over a year since the last schmorgasbord release dropped, which saw al tourettes (better known now as second storey) rubbing up against paradroid in a mix up of electro, techno and electronica styles. now the label returns with bass clef and frak, who were asked to each commit a half-finished sketch of a track to tape, exchange tapes and finish off each others tracks. bass clef has been a strong solo force on the electronic music scene since he first emerged in the wider bass music field in 2006, and has since released on idle hands, punch drunk, pan and public information as well as running his own magic + dreams imprint. swedish trio frak have been releasing since their debut album in 1987 when they were thirteen years old. the swedish trio have been active for most of that time, running borft records and releasing a huge amount of music as well as performing live. in recent years they have enjoyed more recognition with releases on kontra musik, digitalis and sex tags mania. schmorgasbord launched in 2011 with a release that saw appleblim and october collaborating for the first time. it was followed up by a release from s-max and spatial.
fracture is a new label which aims to release quality music on a medium we care about. this is why we chose to work with matt colton from alchemy mastering, and also why we decided to put only one track per side of a 180 gram vinyl. after a first ep earlier this year by berlin s i/y, this second release features signalweiss, one of the alias of prolific and talented italian artist dario tronchin (also known as chevel), here supported by a remix of milton bradley.the past years have seen dario exploring many directions, from intelligent dancefloor tracks to surprising housy & technoesque pieces. artificial is another occurrence of him blurring the lines between different genres, dreamy and abstract, it successfully creates a refreshing and unique atmosphere. milton bradley skillfully brings artificial completely into the realms of techno, keeping the original s track attention to space and melody, the track in his hands turns into a mental and punishing dancefloor bomb.
a true surprise best seller in our 2014 release schedule, vermonts eponymous full-length debut also introduced the public to an astonishingly different musical side of the projects founders marcus worgull and danilo plessow (of motor city drum ensemble fame). an album worth of adventurous jam sessions and sleek synth soundscapes, it rather drew from sonic curiosity and the spirit of informal collaboration than the laser like focus of the club tunes both producers have become known for
we are happy to announce that we are back with our 4th sol asylum instalment >let it go< this time from label founder julie marghilano. the creation process was an inner journey to find once again her creative spirit and just let it go. the final result is a three-track ep created with live-recorded instrumentation and features vocals by the talented jazz singer ilhem khodja.

flying lotus fünftes album ist ein trip, das aehnlich wie das kernthema, der tod, von einer daseinsform zur naechsten springt, sich von einer klangdimension zur naechsten entwickelt. auf youre dead! verschmelzen klangwelten, visuelle welten, metaphysische welten, die virtuos miteinander verwoben einen vollkommen neuen stoff, ein transzendentes, bewusstseinserweiterndes plasma ergeben, das so nur in der Übergangszone oder zwischenwelt existieren kann. musikalisch orientierte sich flying lotus an den großen fusion-jazz-kollektiven der 1960er/1970er und an psychedelic-rock-lps. die anziehungskraft seiner klanglichen traumwelt ist in den letzten jahren so stark geworden, dass inzwischen auch schwergewichte aus anderen sphaeren wie kendrick lamar, snoop dogg oder jazzlegende herbie hancock davon angezogen werden. ein faszinierender, tief berührender trip.
in the beginning, ekoplekz promised wncl recordings that, should he attempt to make any tracks for the club, he would get in touch. good to his word, the artist formerly known as gutterbreakz aka nick edwards has delivered this 6 track beast. it does rather beg the questions – which clubs has he been frequenting? and how do we get on the guest list?
savage grounds are cco and daniele cosmo, co-owner of lux rec. a techno related outfit to explore a darker, noisier and more menacing sound. the ep has been realised by using only three machines. a roland 808, a modular synthesizer and a roland space echo. every track has been recorded live with a minimum of post processing. come over the fence and dance with the savages.

killekill welcomes a new duo on board. skew and satirist are not newcomers. nor are they a well-guarded techno secret. but for this initial outing they want the music to come first. both artists have a background in sonic and technological innovation and have started this project for their left-of-centre techno manoeuvres. berlin s killekill is the natural launching-pad. the ep visits idm-dipped dark techno, a track built around a malfunctioning feedback matrix and a wide-angle, subtly melodic adventure

tiagos interzona 13 label has quietly gone about its business across three acclaimed and sold-out eps. his unique reputation as a dj is matched by the distinctive and unrivaled quality of his productions. for his fourth outing tiago treads an arguably more experimental path, and using sem titulo (untitled in portuguese) on three of the cuts here only adds to the mysterious nature of the sonic treats within. present, as always are the deft rhythm sections and powerful arrangements, as subtle elements of disco, techno & new wave provide the bedrock for his trademark off kilter melodies and soundscaping. the darker underbelly of club life may well be the inspiration, but the mood and execution are pure tiago! another beauty then from this outstanding, diverse and incomparable imprint.
