Earth Rotation
BRUK welcomes the daring shapes and inquisitive textures of ELLLL for her debut album, Earth Rotation. Across 13 scuffed cuts and grubby miniatures the Irish producer shapes out a distinctive sound world, steeped in sample science and powered by low-slung grooves. Theres no direct message permeating Earth Rotation, but burning issues around embattled ecosystems hang in the air as ELLLL pushes her sound palette until it bites. Extended instrumental techniques lend the album an in-the-room tangibility, while dislocated micro-loops speak to less grounded atmospheres. Starting from densely packed collages and diligently chipping away until spacious, head-knocking arrangements remain, the end results of ELLLLs process call to mind the wayward sample acrobatics that made trip-hop and jungle so emotionally resonant and eerily alien in the same beat. Theres rarely anything like conventional boom-bap or a cosily familiar break, but ELLLL finds compelling rhythms in unlikely sources of funk, whether plucked, bowed, sequenced or sculpted. Even when teetering towards techno on Titan, her particular approach is gloriously skewed and, by extension, innovative. No matter how serious the techniques involved, Earth Rotation is a celebration of the magic that happens when sound gets mistreated. If there are foreboding ideas lingering in the albums tendency towards dissonance, ELLLL also knows how to inject her work with a necessary mischief, making her a perfect fit amongst the maverick BRUK alumni.

It includes NLC, the only track that will also appear on the album, alongside four exclusive tracks.

Licht Ausgang
Sergey Komarov, Vlad Dobrovolski, Ilya Sadovsky, and Alexey Grachev, an improvisational quartet known as kurvenschreiber, fuel their vintage synthesizers with homemade solar batteries and record their sessions on reel-to-reel tapes before they can turn to dust. In their performances, they utilize generators, radios, meteorological equipment, and pre-recorded tape loops. This niche approach allows them to create an illusion of cinematic force in sound, where the sound itself becomes the main character. The power of their sonic interpretation stems from the virtuosity of juggling resonant images, offering the audience a chance to immerse in a unique audio-visual space. The most compelling aspect of Licht Ausgang is not the quartets technological tricks or references to their deep archive of tapes, but rather its restrained emotional undertone. The precise mood is as elusive as the autumn smell of leaves, yet it is simultaneously euphoric, whimsical, and grotesquely sweet. Nonetheless, the album can hardly be labeled as mere pastoral nostalgia, as theres a mystic current present in these tracks, constantly leading kurvenschreiber down strange and unexpected paths.

Pointed Frequencies
With their debut album Pointed Frequencies, Ben Kaczor and Niculin Barandun explore the therapeutic potential of binaural beats and solfeggio frequencies, aiming to provide listeners with a healing experience. However, rather than being prominently featured, these elements are subtly integrated into the background, creating tracks that lean towards a freeform blend of experimental and ambient music.

The Algorithm (First Mix)
Back on Upon You with his eagerly anticipated new number, label co-founder Marco Resmann treats us to a sizzling hot slice of buzzing machine funk and fractured techno rhythms with the Algorithm. Featuring LAs one-and-only Cari Golden on vocals, this new EP has us soaked in a world of encrypted paranoia, data-wazzing clouds and AI-fuelled menace, where every signal could be the last and every backdoor a trompe-loeil. Though offered as a quartet of distinct versions, VotA is more than just a single and remix package and each piece of work contains the elements to its own expanding universe. The original mix serves up a fine combination of left-of-centre electronics - wistfully atmospheric and dynamic in equal measure, bridging the gap between its intrinsic nature as a piece of no-nonsense dance music but also as a slab of boundary-pushing analogue techno, breaksy house and IDM-ish hybrid. All in depth-plumbing layers of rolling sub-bass and loop-heavy tectonics, the Arp mix folds out into a hypnotic, post French touch-style facelift of barely recognizable stems, whereas the Eleven mix lays it further thick on the electroid / breaksy profile; like a sharp, distant, dystopia-infused nod to Detroit, initiating a remote dialogue with Arpanets 2002 classic, Wireless Internet. Closing the EP, the Anniversary mix is pure peak-time deep rave material. Heavily dubbed-out and inch-precisely engineered to trigger off maximal response from the dancers, this one is the closest youll get to a typical floor roller. Let go of the persona, its time to hack your true self back into the system.

Brodfoda
Civilistjavel! returns with Brodfoda, the successor to 2022s Jarnnatter and his fourth release for FELT. The record features collaborations with Laila Sakini, Mayssa Jallad, Thommy Wahlstrom, ELDON, and Withdrawn. Tomas Boden is a revered figure of the aural murk, known primarily for his work as Civilistjavel. Its an alias that has spawned a catalogue of self-released peculiarities, featuring music that scorns traditional form, instead opting for unfussed symphonies of ice-hued minimalism; soft murmurs that emanate from his studio in the High Coast of Sweden. On Brodfoda, his latest album for Fergus Joness FELT imprint, subtle new developments in mood prevail. Across its 75 minutes, Civilistjavel! unveils a breadth of emotions that on previous releases seemed distant. He also invites collaborators on record for the first time: Beirut-based singer Mayssa Jallad mournfully croons on IV, VIII hosts Coldlights ELDON & Withdrawn for an abstracted session of dub-hop murk, Laila Sakini offers a hallucinogenic monologue amidst melodica, sticks & bells playing on IX, and Thommy Wahlstrom floats scant acid dub stylings on VI. These additions and developments bring a forlorn intimacy to the music, and suggest an ambition that few artists of his ilk strive for. FELTs (un)reliable cast of audio ghouls routinely summon the odd, with Civilistjavel! often its primary culprit; Brodfoda gently modifies this path to pursue some of his and the labels most quaintly beautiful music yet.

This morning, while waking up and questioning all including us, we thought about writing. Writing a letter. To you, us, the universe. Just to start writing again, addressed to the loved ones, physical, spiritual, visionary. A highway slides forward, out there, where the Swiss Alps erupt. Soon we dive into the world of chancers, the realm of opportunities. Are you an opportunity? Are we? Affection isnt we believe. It just erupts without a target. Why do we need to talk so much? We look out at the concrete landscape, trading itself for nature. Your strong mind on our side. Tiny huge we are. Not sure if all can be again. Letting it go, repeating, eating. You long for physics, we aim for spirits, lets meet the mystics. We feel close to you, you feel close to you, the world is close to us, yet there is distance in the attic, that needs matter for suspicion.

Binding Elements Album Remixes
Keep your friends close, Bas Dobbelaer must have thought when he asked a few gifted producers to remix his recent ambient work. Five tracks from his beautiful and intimate Binding Elements-album (2023) were pushed in new directions by befriended producers and colleagues such as Moon Patrol, Will Oirson and Leif. The latter turns Submerge into a melodic minimalist piece which pays homage to both Susumo Yokota and Steve Reich. Swiss-born producer Ben Kaczor goes 4x4 on Irregular, pushing the dreamy original towards Giegling territory in a good and meditative way. Dwaalgast extrapolates the dub elements in the title track Binding Elements while Brooklyn duo Moon Patrol takes things even deeper on their bass heavy remix of Rise. Closing track Ray gets a wonderful sun-bleached ambient treatment by the talented Will Oirson. All five remixes breathe new life in the original versions while retaining their unique magic. Thats what friends are for.

Sketches 1-17
Things take the time they take, wrote poet Mary Oliver, revealing so much about life with only a few simple words. When we think about art, we often focus on results: a song, a theatre piece, a painting... but if we listen to the artists, they mostly talk about the process that led to those results. Like the baker with baking, or the gardener with gardening, the bread and flowers take time to come through. Focusing on practice seems radical in a world obsessed with outcomes, mainly because results can be consumed and owned. A musician searching to encounter sound, rather than chasing the songs, strives, as Duchamp said, to make visible the invisible, or in this case, to turn silence into music, and thats how Sketches 1-17 came to be. In winter 2021, artist Christopher Colm Morrin, stuck at home alone for the holidays, coped by focusing entirely on creating sound, using a guitar and a few pedals, storing the recordings in a folder called sketches. The music flowed raw and sincere, like a river with high and low tidessometimes barely there, other times overflowing. A sketch is a witness to stillness and attention, a rupturing beam of light through the storm of distraction. Sketches 1-17, with its colourful and sincere lines and its earnest delivery, draw, with devotion, a chant to time and place, to the here and the now, and to allow things to take the time they take. Sketches 1-17 is released by the Berlin-based label Stray Signals.

Selected Archival Recordings 1979-1985
Minimal wave legend Das Ding is back on Electronic Emergencies after 10 years with a stunning selection of archival tracks from retrieved tape recordings. In the early eighties, Danny Bosten got together with his friends after school in his bedroom studio, somewhere in the bleak Dutch countryside. They experimented with cheap analogue gear and made music to kill time. The sound is raunchy and slightly experimental, but already unmistakable Das Ding. New wave, early EBM and proto techno are found this album, pressed on clear vinyl. To preserve the original atmosphere and sound, the tapes received the Ruud Lekx mastering treatment. Digital and streaming formats include three bonus tracks.

Calm In The Storm
Asymmetric boss Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with an intriguing five track EP Calm In The Storm. The title track Calm In The Storm sets the mood with a mournful yet calming pad that rises and falls against a solid four-to-the-floor driving rhythm. Peculiar Turns follows in quirky fashion; off kilter beats and mysterious sonic fragments coming and going. Rumble Strip centres the release; a booming rhythm, undulating percussion and waves of arpeggio. Next up is Scotch Mist, an altogether darker affair setting tinges of drum and bass against a playful melody. To finish is Pulse Dialing, an organic toe-tapper of pure techno minimalism; sonic solace if ever there was a better way of putting it.

The Land Of Clouds
Daughters of water, clouds live in the magical world of the sky, Flying and watching over the earth from above. Swollen and candid they float capturing the looks and the thoughts of those who live below. Soft and delicate, the sunlight redraws the edges and gives the clouds colors of different shades, accompanying them on their aimless journey dragged by the wind, until evening when a gray veil covers the wanderers of the sky.

No Rain, No Flowers
we would like to share this beautiful mini LP with you at the end of the summer. we were very surprised when we received this demo and knew immediately that we would like to release it on vinyl. The artist is from near the Karparten, we dont know much about him, but hes a nice guy and we like the tracks a lot. You will certainly hear a lot more from him.
