“Old Strikes New releases his Arcade Awake EP after a lengthy period making final production tweaks and the results are simply outstanding. The title track is a 9-minute centrepiece of hip-hop beats and free jazz noodlings that blends the experimental sounds of Tortoise and the Anticon label into a fluid audio collage. This is surrounded by six pieces of deep, moody electronica that combine lulling piano, pensive dialogue, jittery beats and an overall sense of stark, aesthetic beauty.”

“Intervall-audio releases Sora’s ‘Live at Metro’, a richly textured, playfully arranged, crisply analogue-sounding electronica opus that evokes that the peacefully relaxing atmosphere and emptiness of mind that an entire day, from sunrise to sunset, of a summer holiday spent at the beach brings.
‘Live at Metro’ features remixes from Sora’s first full-length album ‘re.sort’ (Plop 2003), as well as hitherto unreleased material. Sora is the alias of Kyoto-based electronic musician Takeshi Kurosawa.”

“After the great album of Merde comes on Flos Acquae (a sub-series of Benekkea net/rec label): Athletic Lime Orchestra.
A.L.O. is an acrobatics electronic one man band in the balance between jazz, klezmer and ethnic suggestions. The combination is free and re-invented track after track. Contrapposition plans and interlace harmonic are built and re-built following the acoustic inspiration simply. The result is a sonorous atmosphere series designs but although that clearly to you, not definable. The only thread conductor is the thin irony of the author who plays with its ingredients without but never feeling sorry itself some.”

“Heddy Boubaker’s new project, a new alliance of talented improvisers, jazz, textures, texts, madness, pulsations which intersect, a perpetual exploration between memories and futures. And a recording of remarkable quality. “

“This album is the story of a friendship between musicians, and between netlabel activists. So after few meetings, collaborations, concerts together it was logic to make this split release, with the piano/sax duo tlön5, and the the diatribes trio extended to 5tet. Recorded in underground places in Paris and Geneva, the music, more than ever, enjoys its freedom and conquers the spaces till implosion.”

“Since our start off, we have been looking for music that combines electronic with hand-made stuff. With Endlos, we finally found the perfect piece of the puzzle - just another amazing story of soul brothership written in our wonderful home city of Lipsia (Leipzig). This first Endlos EP is an excerpt of their 2004 album which was published as a very limited CD edition only. However, we think these songs are timeless: Enjoy seven epic pieces of deep electronica, fusing jazz with samplers, lo-fi drummachines embracing manipulated guitars and warm synths.”

“In 2003, alto and tenor saxophonist Charlie Naked, bassist Danny McMahon, and drummer Vaughan Boone joined forces to become Fist of Kong, a free jazz trio playing spontaneously improvised music, free of preconceptions and premeditation.
Though Boone left after about a year and a half with the group, Naked and McMahon continued Fist of Kong alternately as a more experimental duo, and in a free-improv workshop format with several other members of Houston’s vibrant free improv scene, including trombonist Mike Switzer, guitarist Jim Otterson, keyboardist Robert Pearson, violist Rose Lange, percussionist Tom Zermeno, cellist Melisa Rose, tenor saxophonist John Atlas,and many others.
The members of Fist of Kong do not discuss the music before it’s played, making each rehearsal, recording session, and performance a unique moment of collective self-expression.”

“Uniquetunes is a jazz quartet, that comes from Saint-Petersburg. Having noted on two compilations ES by the smart tracks, the group presents the high-grade release: a collection of the live performances gathered for last year.
To create positive things by musical facilities is much more complex, than to immerse the listener in a gothic style. Uniquetunes play their music like if the world around is a big magic sphere, only expecting to present everyone precious gifts. Such music wins weakness and negative. Cause the music turns to the negative back, and the person is able to see in a face of it the light, the pure sound.”
