The 120 minute excursion is a progression of brooding down-tempo beats and wall clashing warehouse tracks. Featuring artists like Pan-Pot, Victor Ruiz, Mark Romboy and self-made originals, Bodzin holds nothing back in this representation of his signature style.
Hailing from Bremen, Stephan started his musical journey as a composer for a number of well-known European theaters. Soon after developing an immense infatuation with the underground nightlife scene, Stephan started creating is own flavor of techno and has since become one of the most influential characters in the genre’s development. His most recent release, ‘Powers of Ten’ was released through Bodzin’s own label, Herzblut Recordings.
Ground (Jeroen Uyttendaele) is an audiovisual performance in which graphite drawings are used as control interface for several electronic instruments. Graphite is a conductor for electricity. By using it as a variable resistor (instead of a standard knob) the pitch, amplitude and sound color of sound generators can be controlled. In this way Ground offers a field of possibilities in which auditive and visual elements are interconnected. Drawing, erasing, touching and slowly or rapidly (re)positioning the instruments on the drawing have a direct auditive result. Live electronic music becomes an explicitly tangible and open practice.

Perc joins Stroboscopic Artefacts for some of his most abstract industrial noise to date.
The techno heavyweight arrives on Lucy’s label on February 12 with Ma, a three-tracker that sees him venture into ever more spacious territory.
‘Death of Rebirth’ and ‘Negative Space’ on the A-side are more club-ready, incorporating glassy piano and gamelan-like sounds over his beefy 4/4 bedrock, while the side-long title track sounds like his taken his bag of tools to a prepared piano and an alley full of bins, in the best way possible. Check out the previews below.
Perc recently delivered an ominous remix of Stroboscopic artist Chevel and teamed up with Danny Passarella for an EP inspired by David Cronenberg’s Videodrome, and before that he had the general election blues on his own Gob EP.
Don’t be fooled by the name, Clouds are about as rough and spiky as it gets.
Well, that’s it. Here we have the penultimate off-the-beaten-path trip of 2015. And quite frankly it’s the best one ever. Really. It’s difficult to put into words, but ‘epic’ and ‘surprise!’ should do it. We don’t want to spoil it, you see.
For those who don’t know, Clouds are Calum Macleod and Liam Robertson, Turbo’s enfant terribles–in the best possible way. You’re going to be hearing a lot more about them from us. But all in good time. For now get your teeth around what we’re unequivocal dubbing Electric Deluxe’s best mix of the year.
Electric Deluxe will release Timeslip Roadmender on February 5th, 2016.
If you’re Jeff Mills and you shoot a documentary about yourself, you’re going to have a banging soundtrack. Last year, Mills did make a documentary about himself; he also put together its soundtrack, which he released on vinyl in phases over the course of six months. Now the last of those curated cuts will soon be available in stores.
In September 2015, Detroit’s iconic techno pioneer released Exhibitionist 2, a documentary charting the ins-and-outs of Mills’ art. While Exhibitionist 2 was a follow-up to Exhibitionist, an earlier release with similar intentions—putting cameras in front of Mills’ equipment and keeping the viewers focus on Mills’s nimble knobbing—Exhibitionist 2 went a bit further. Over 120 minutes, Mills gives us an insider’s peek into just how he mixes and composes from scratch. Joining him for brief segments are drummer, Skeeto Valdez, and modern dancer, Pierre Locket.
As part of the promotional campaign for Exhibitionist 2, Mills announced the release of three 12″ recordscreated for the documentary. Exhibition 2: Part 1 was released in June; Part 2 in September. Now Axis Records, the label that put out the entire series, have announced the final part of the triptych.
Exhibitionist 2: Part 3 will be released on January 22 with Axis Records. Watch a trailer for the Exhibitionist 2 documentary below.
