Recommendation: STL

"The mysterious Harz-based producer breaks his silent state: RA's Todd L. Burns tracks down Stephan Laubner for his first English language interview, finding that there's much more than house music to talk about with the multi-faceted artist and label owner."

read more on RA.

W meandrach wczesnych rylisów STL'a odnajdziecie udźwiękowienie obrazu ohydnie rozchełstanej, surowej hybrydy techno i - zawieszonego gdzieś poza kontinuum czasoprzestrzennym - hipnagogicznego house'u. Disneyland dla znudzonych hajpem popaprańców.

Na początku był big bang, potem trafiła się chwila wytchnienia przy lekkim i przyjemnym dub techno serwowanym pod publiczkię, ten rozdział polecam wszystkim nienasyconym fanom brzmienia dc/echospace.


A jeśli lubisz medytować, żyć w zgodzie z ambientem, lub raz na jakiś czas potrzebujesz małego przeprogramowania umysłu - zaciekle rekomenduję projekt Laubnera Lunatik Sound System, a poszukiwania zostawiam najwytrwalszym użytkownikom soulseeka.

Fluxion - Perfused [2010, cd, echocord]

#: echocord cd07

electronic

dub techno

320kbps

01. Horizons

02. Waves

03. Tantalizer

04. Inflection

05. Wabbler

06. Elation

07. Fluctuations

08. Inductance

09. Perfuse

producer: Konstantinos Soublis

note: "This is the fifth album by Fluxion, a name you'll know from Chain Reaction, Basic Channel and Maurizio labels. On this new album "Perfused", as the title implies, the sounds are liquid. Bending, turning, blending, streaming, forming and at the end grooving in a unique way. Moving into the future with steady dub beats. The opening "Horizons", brings on a warm slow dub feeling and as it moves through time and space, it creates music phrases that are never repeating, unveiling a breath of fresh sounds. "Waves" is a pulsating dub atmospheric dance track. Dub questions and answers. "Tantalizer", a dried out track, mechanical, organical. "Inflection", a cyclic dub minimal track. "Wabbler", a live track recorded in one take, a journey back to the influences of dub. "Elation", a track full of energy. Slowly building up, in the fluxion way, always revealing some new stream of sound that comes to surface. A strong dance track, that moves the listeners both body and mind. "Fluctuations", slow building up, atmospheric minimal track, "Inductance" atmospheric sound patterns slowly combined, creating an emotional futuristic track. "Perfuse" is a pulsating slow dub track. The sound patterns emerge steadily, to form one stream. One organic movement."

A. Vampire

B. Vampire Dub

producer: Scott Monteith

note: "Heavily insistent dub techno from Deadbeat on the latest Echocord catalogue number. 'vampire' comes in two versions, with the relentless throb of the original offset by spacious dub rhythms and surging bass for the skankers, while the Dub leans on a wicked halfstepped dub vibe reminding strongly of '2' era Pole."

A1.		Walking The Deep Line
B1.		Polarized
B2.		Apart From Moorpark

producer - Dennis Bøg

note: "Baum records' head Resoe aka Dennis Bøg sets up three tracks of sublime deeper dub-tech experiements on the lovely 'Abstrakt Dimenzions' EP. 'Walking The Deep Line' deftly works languid delays and reverb treatments over a skanking dub-house rhythm while 'Polarized' steps with a post-garage meets Detroit flex recalling John Beltran and the ace 'Apart From Moorpark' gets crafty with qick-stepping rhythms and mournful melodica embellished with sublime electronica." - boomkat.
