Dense

We’re pretty sure that most of you have noticed: the new year has come and gone, Berlin’s freezing cold and the Club Transmediale is upon us. As every year, Dense will be there, presenting a selection of records from the store and taking care of providing your turntables and CD players with the beats you will just have heard at the festival. It’s all at WMF this year (as everybody will have heard by now) and starts tomorrow. Look for us on the second floor, in our secluded calm hideout.

Anyway, the store is still open, and we have quite some goodies to offer this time around.

First, yes, you’ve read right, the silver / chrome version of Throbbing Gristle‘s Buddha Machine (or “Gristlelism” for the friends) is in stock. Not for long, believe me.

Then, the dubstep aisle got punchy this weak, with the arrivals of new records by heavy hitters 16 Bit and Excision, as well a new Skream record on Loefah’s Swamp81 label.

Less bass, more guitars, but not any less heavy, check out the “Live V” double LP by Isis, released on Berlin’s “Viva Hate”, or share the madness again with Gang Gang Dance‘s “God’s Money” album, finally represse by The Social Registry.

Here’s the list. Enjoy, and see you either at the store (still open as normal) or at the CTM booth.

First Dense newsletter for 2010, and starting the year with rather problematic news. Our computer has decided to play tricks on us (probably feeling let down that we never use it to play mp3, and jealous of our turntables), and has decided to dismember, disassemble and discard our customer order files. As a result, all of our specific orders have been lost. Therefore, if you have ordered something from us in the last couple of months, please get in touch. Your records might be waiting for you here, but we just don’t know anymore who ordered what. Yeaah for 2010.

All’s not so grim at the beginning of this new year, though, as we’ve got a lot of good beats, bits and blips for everybody.

The lion’s share goes to the breaks and dubstep section, with some jewels such as the new Millie & Andrea record (as usual pretty limited and sure to be gone pretty soon), Untold‘s new “Flexible” or three new records by Pinch, Joker and Distance on Tectonic. And I can’t but mention a CD which has brought a pretty wide consensus among us, the new Lone album on Werk Discs, “Ecstasy & Friends”.

More home-listening oriented? Check out some excellent new material by Simon Scott on Miasmah (a label we have been pushing for some time now), or the new album by Peter Broderick and Machinefabriek on Fanbomb.

A bit of product placement to close this newsletter: two of the labels closely affiliated with Dense have brought up some fresh sounds for this new year. Karaoke Kalk starts the decade with “Paper of Pins” by Wells, Schneider, Whitehead and Morgenstern, while Ad Noiseam’s alarm clock comes in the form of “The Words Below Limited Vinyl Edition vol. 3″ by DJ Hidden (the other two volumes and the album are of course still available).

Here’s the list. Enjoy, and again, please get in touch if you have placed any order through Dense in the last couple of months.
