The crispy, dubby bits flanking the thoroughly worked out drums are one of a kind. We are sure to hear more ahead of his time works by Vlnc Drks in the near future.

Nice review over at Sound Colour Vibration.
This one features two beat heads out of Germany, both of them creating forward thinking electronic music.
There is Playpad Circus, constantly killing it at remix jobs and live shows, and Azabeats, part of the alt rap group Son Kas and the Postrap collective.
Sharing a 10″, Playpad Circus’ «Drink And Fuck» directs into a sinister, feral world, while «Far Away From You» by Azabeats points out the way out of there, before he too shatters the supposed to be homelike place («Last Week»).
Brute beats, breaks and samples meet sort of speak garageish ideas, with drums as leitmotif.
Limited to 100 hand numbered copies in hand stamped covers, mastered by Deeskee. Sold out.
Another artist we respect a whole lot is Los Angeles based Mr Walter Gross. Constantly coming up with weird-beautiful collages of sounds, noises, drums, samples and whatnot in the form of albums, various collections or podcasts.
This tape signifies a certain advancement in Walter Gross’ evolution in creating a more defined mosaic and collage of sounds and its articulation.
Limited to 40 hand numbered copies in sewn and hand stamped covers with four different inlay versions. A download link will be sent to you after purchase (or get it via bandcamp). Sold out. You can still get the digital version from waltergross.com.

Grazing new worlds once again, Tran Quals works wallow somewhere between leftfield, drones and prog rock.
Three of our favourite jams have been banned onto vinyl, limited to 101 hand numbered copies in silk screened covers on mold-made paper with artwork by Serge, then there’s also the album «7 Hills» on cassette in hand folded and numbered paper covers, limited to 40. Sold out.
For our anniversary release, we are genuinely proud to present two button pushers extraordinaire.
Having their very own signature, one will always recognize their heroes. While there’s a rather psychedelic affinity shining through in DJ Egadz’ composition, Edison keeps up with countless variations and tweaks, and of course his unmistakable drum work. These tracks will remain vinyl exclusives.
Still can’t really believe we did this. Super honored. But let’s not talk too much about it, simply check that mess out.
Limited to 100 hand numbered copies in silk screened covers with artwork by lovely SAFU, mastered by Deeskee. Sold out.
Over at the website of our beloved canadian record label Clothes Horse Records you can read statements like «consistently killing shit for over a decade, Maki has quietly established himself as one of the most slept-on producers in Canada» followed by «with a musical aesthetic akin to a riot in Syntagma Square, his soundscapes have shaped the character of some of the most unique and distinctive records in the Canadian indie-rap scene». No way we could have said it better. Wherever some Maki production pops up, it is very clear that it will please our ears and minds.
That is why we are convinced that there does not necessarily need to be a voice over his production for it to work. Therefore it is a major delight to present the new 7″ «Leaving Exarchia / Grayscale», which holds two outrageous bangers. After a summer of discontent in Athens, a room in Exarchia and a thousand photographs, a commentary on those experiences emerge. The canadian producer returns to prog-inspired traditions with densely-layered synths, guitars, field recordings and distinctive drums. Still here and still there. A crisis of sorts. A work in progress.
It is kind of a deluxe edition limited to 100 hand numbered copies on grey marbled vinyl in silk screened covers by Michael Beutler. Mastered by Deeskee. Sold out.
Seattle based beatmaker absoluteMadman meets galician producer Deloise. 103 copies in unique covers by Patrick Juilland. Sold out.
The guys’ names behind the moniker Rotkeller is Federico Sutera and Laurent Schmidhäusler from Fribourg, Switzerland. Previously just messing around with sounds has now become a serious project, considering their last live shows and recordings. As you can guess the guys have been enjoying the golden age of IDM, they now interlace this influence into their compositions, where atmospheric meets weird loops, breaks and bass of course. The range is somewhere between jovial relaxing to banging clackers, which is promising for the coming live shows and this first album called «Lofbo.b», which has lots of different faces that need to be explored.
The considerable assemblage of musical layers aren’t the only cause for the multifaceted soundscapes and moods you’ll experience during the Blurring The Boundary EP by Meienberg. Sweet-tempered hands can turn to claws of frowning trepidation, warm synths to harsh bass, sociability to shaking uptightness and all the way back before you know it.
Having collected a decent amount of influences throughout at least the last three decades, Meienberg will give you a lot to figure out. Even though we don’t like genres, let’s name dub(-step), idm, various electronics and breaks to say the least. The way all of this gets combined, resulting in discrete and solid buildings, is something of a rarity.
After purchase you’ll get a download link of the 10″ vinyl six-track EP plus the bonus bangers «Asanga’s Dog» and «Out Of My Hands» in wav format. A large poster of the album artwork will be thrown in for free. Have a listen:
It’s not an easy job to describe the music of canadian multi-instrumentalists Khyro, y.p.l. and Eric. You would have to name experimental hiphop, electronics, folk, jazz and this or that in one sentence. Having recorded and released several abstract rap albums and EPs, they stick to instrumental insanity for their first vinyl release, after the ambient / noise cassette tape with Jayrope «Swearing at the Sun».
This 7″ is inspired by the work of William Burroughs, especially his book Naked Lunch. It’s also kind of a tribute to the Beat Poets that travelled to Tangier (like Burroughs, Paul Bowles, Byron Gysin, etc…). There are rather dark moments throughout the song «Black Meat», but never without at least a little sign of light and hope, while «Looking For Dr Benway» contains more confidence regarding what will happen anytime soon with an almost funky bass line. Downtempo storytelling without words.
You could say it’s a meeting of styles, two compositions you probably wouldn’t guess were done by the heads of Héliodrome, or «super limited 7inch of intense instrumental mindfuck. Welcome to the Interzone».
