Jakeez
Tricirque/LoFi Pancake
SKPR004
SKP recordings

Next up SKP brings you another top quality Detroit tinged techno single from Jakeez.<>
First on the list is "Tricirque", a futuristic night out with heavy bass stabs and driving glitchy beatwork from the master of the Detroit sound, it's another cracking a-side from Jakeez. Next up is the weird and wonderful techno nourishment of "Lofi Pancake", pushing you forward on a drexciyan city ride at dusk, squelching basswork and uneasy synthlines give way to stuttering bleeps with perfectly executed ambience. With this single Jakeez is back with vengeance and ready for war.

Skeptical - Video Game Frame

Skeptical
Video Game Frame
Album
ABR013

Moody, Chilling and deeply immersive, the new album from Skeptical is an intricate and epic journey of synthesized soundscapes, processed beats and utterly engrossing electronic sounds. Themed as a soundtrack album, "Video Game Frame" starts you out with the ominous tones of "Beneath The City", leading into the subtly-twisted and minimally-tinged chiller, "Rapture". Other highlights include the wonderfully minimal "Cells" and "Waiting game", perfectly fitting of a dark spy movie. If your after something to really take you away on an audio trek then this is the album for you.

Tracklist:
01. Beneath The City
02. Rapture
03. Gressive
04. It's Not About Who's Right
05. Cells
06. Release
07. Please Hold
08. Prepare For Battle

Knowledge and Ignorance
Album
ABR005
Out Now

The enigmatic Chokai has released his 5th studio album titled "Knowledge and Ignorance". Recently described as "Whipped up into a frenzy of samples and incorporating all elements of music production that your subconscious tells you shouldn't be allowed on an album.." (Luton at Large, March 2009), "knowledge and ignorance" is a challenging album filled with odd twists and turns, with deeper political undertones. Described by Chokai as a "concept" album, the 5th album from the veteran electronic music producer from the south is well worth a listen - if you dare to! Catch a preview now or download this release by clicking here. Special thanks to the hugely talented artist Vanessa Law for creating the fantastic artwork for Chokai's album.

OUT NOW

Smokey late night cityscapes coming from Jakeez in the form of classic Detroit techno outing "iDeas".

Kicking off with the laidback progressive sound of "The Real D", Philadelphia's premier techno wizard Jakeez lets us know he means business. "Defensive" is a classic 4x4 workout with an old-skool stompy flavour that is guaranteed to get your feet in motion. Next up he drops the mother of all electro tunes with "Elektronisch Klapsdoktor", a punk infused bleepfest evoking images of grimey underground clubbing that hits you square in the nose. The EP closes with the more experimental sound of "Reed", a beautifully twisted journey that melts your mind and sends you spinning out of control into the next generation. "iDeas" is a must have release, guaranteed to have the dancefloor shouting "what's THIS?" and then begging for more!

Chris Bradshaw - Quantum Breaks EP

noreply@blogger.com (Otosan) — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 14:07:00 +0000

Chris Bradshaw
Quantum Breaks EP
ABREP007
OUT NOW

Chris Bradshaw’s First release on ABR “Quantum Breaks” is a wicked collection of expertly constructed beats, breaks and melodies showing off his immediately obvious natural skills with the genre having stepped down from Drum n Bass. Starting out with the perceptibly mellow track “2tone”, the “Quantum Breaks EP” is a cool ride of fat grooves and flowing, intricate bass lines, staying true to the creative freedom of genre. “Covertly Overt” takes a more dirty, brash approach with its stuttered, distorted breaks and eyeball-vibrating sub-bass. “Bunkup” is a more reserved affair keeping with a more minimal shuffle theme. “upwards down” and “Purple Penguins” are twisted tracks of beat changes, whimsical synth stabs and samples reminiscent of AFX and early acid with a smattering of 2-step, perfect for the dance floor. Ending on the distinctly old-skool style electro “Oblong”, Chris’ first release is set to gain lots of attention both to avid listeners of the genre as well as clubbers the world over. A wonderful piece of work and an excellent introduction to a highly talented and recently named "one of Dance music's most important producers this month" in DJ mag.

2Track
Electro Survival
Album
ABR009

With the success of the limited edition vinyl "twister EP" released in early 2008, Electro Survival is the debut album from the accomplished techno producer 2Track. A desirable collection of masterful audio effects, dark textures and pounding beats bringing you right back to the roots to electronica. Opening with the optimistic Boards of Canada inspired of "Shandyandy" with its dub style basslines, dreamy textures and heavy grooves, Electro Survival is an album of diverse emotions ranging from the emphatically warm to the demoniacally dark. Equally praised for its danceability as well as listening experience, Electro Survival is a brave exploration of forgotten genres, bringing back the quality of underground music to a new audience.

Chokai returns after the experimental Glade Geita with "Shoot em up ace", a homage to the classic arcade shoot 'em up games from the 80's, paired with the suitably contrasting "space grooves". Thumping kicks, screaming leads, retro bleeps and arpeggios combine to create a truly jumping and unique house track bringing you back to the days of sweaty joysticks, blowing thirty quid in change, mesmerizing colours and high score boards. Space Grooves takes a more relaxed approach with its soothing sound textures, bouncy bass lines and disco shuffles.
