The return of the revenge of the undead beats (from outer space)

July 11th, 2009 Nicolas No comments

newsletter110709Lots of work, computer problems, a myriad of parties business meetings to attend and a chaotic delivery schedule: hey, we’re still alive, and here’s a list of all the new beats, riffs and breaks that your favorite record store has received in the recent weeks.

Things are hectic over at Warp, with the release of the new albums from Milanese, Clark, Bibio and Grizzly Bear and a new EP by Harmonic 313. And it’s all in stock right now. Also quite active is Berlin’s Ostgut, with the new album by Planetary Assault Systems and various 12″ by Berghain residents. Again, in stock at Dense, where you don’t have to wait outside in the rain to enjoy music. More straight beats from Berlin, Monolake‘s new “Atlas” EP is not something we could pass on.

More breaks, you say? Check out Mothboy‘s new EP, which features Mr Starkey as well, or lend an ear to the various 12″ and CD (yes, you read well) on Tectonic, with fresh material by 2562, Pinch, Peverlist and the likes. Also of notice are several new dubstep records by France’s Niveau Zero and a new 12″ on Distance‘s Chestplate imprint.

After leaving the club, how about some calmer tones at home? We could go with the new remix EP by Animal Collective, a brand new LP by Cluster, or Nouvelle Vague‘s unmissable new album.. If you want to counter the current sunlight with some darker vibes, no problem, we have a new stuff by The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation (aka The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble) for you, as well as the new Sunn O))) and Wolves In The Throne Room CD.

Enough talk, here’s the list. Enjoy, and keep densing:

Of (no) Orcs, Waters and Miracles

June 10th, 2009 Nicolas No comments

newsletter100609Short list this week. Blame it on the various bank holidays, on the beginning of the so-called summer pause, or just on the fact that we’re getting better with sending more regular updates.

Anyway, short list doesn’t mean there’s nothing to talk about. How about starting with a journey to the other side of the planet with “Not Given Lightly”, a compilation from Morr Music about the indie scene in New Zealand (available on wax and silicon, and guaranteed Lord Of The Rings-free). We could then head up north and welcome the new 12″ and LP by Denmark’s Badun (“Tandoori and “Last Nightsleep”, both on Mindwaves).

To keep on with the geographic referrences, let’s go with the anglo-japanese friendship in the form of two new Luke Vibert‘s Japanese releases (the 3rd “Rhythm” EP and the full length CD of the same name, reprising the three 12″). Speaking of which, don’t forget that Luke Vibert is playing with Milanese, CLP and others at Berghain on Friday.

Or we could head on to the dark alleys of London with Benga‘s new “Buzzin’” 12″ on Tempa, venturing together with Starkey’s “Miracles” on Planet Mu. Also on Planet Mu, don’t pass on Venetian Snares‘s new “Horsey Noises” 12″ or on Shitmat‘s “One Foot In The Rave” new full length album (and you just have to check this one, if only for the artwork).

Finally, it will be time for a dive to the deepest waters and deepest basses with ‘s “In The Margins” 12″, also fished up this week.

Döners with moderation.

May 31st, 2009 Nicolas No comments

newsletter310509
We survived the various parties and concerts in which we were taking part last week (see our latest newsletter for more details), and are now ready with a list of new records, CDs and books which arrived last week at Dense.

It was expected a few weeks ago and got delayed several times, but the Moderat album is finally here, and you can get this long-awaited collaboration between Apparat and Modeselektor on various formats at the store (LP, CD and CD+DVD). Two Berlin acts on a Berlin label at a Berlin indie-store: it can’t get any more local.
Other noticeable albums of the week include the accurately titled “Shout At The Döner” CD and double LP by Kid606, “An Imaginary Country” by Tim Hecker on Kranky (also on CD and LP), and The Field‘s “Yesterday And Today” on Kompakt.

You might also not want to pass on Ghislain Poirier‘s new EP on Ninja Tune, and the ones of you with the longest hair will mosh and invoke the devil to ‘s “Malevolent Grain” 12″ on Souther Lord.

recommends280509with parts of the crew finishing up their diplomas, being scattered around Germany on festivals or maintaining some of the best labels in the world, we are so busy this weekend that we can’t deliver you a full on newsletter this week. But here’s still some thing not to miss

First of all, the club of our hearts, the Zentrale Randlage, celebrates post-mortem its 5th Birthday this Friday. Since we can’t miss this party, our very own DJ Marius Reisser will spin some of his dopest records for you.

Also Littlebig and Tigerbeat6 / Tigerbass teamed up to bring you a sick line-up to celebrate the release of the newest Tigerbass LP: “Shout at the Döner”. Since we can’t miss this, too, we will be attending the party with a small selection of our goods, so if you haven’t had the chance for visiting us in the last weeks, you can stock on vinyl while clubbing.

Finally, Berlin’s Zhark label is celebrating their 13th birthday, and going at it with a dark and raw bang at Raum 18, also on Friday.

Another birthday, but this time not this Friday: the weekly Killekill parties are celebrating their first year at their usual Berghain Kantine location next Wednesday.

Finally, if the weather stays nice for a bit, you might enjoy two early parties at the “Terasse”, a.k.a. the open air “beach” parties right next to Maria am Ostbahnhof, on Saturday and Wednesday.

So yeah, enjoy this parties, grab some tasty food at the Karneval der Kulturen and don’t forget: Dense loves YOU!

May 23rd, 2009 Michail No comments

After a rather quiet week, a rather exciting one awaits us.

On Saturday you have to choose… Do you want to get destroyed by killer basslines (then you’ll go to Raum18, to see Jamie Vex’d and Onra play) or do you want to get your eardrums wasted by hyphy leadsynths (then you head over to the Dry Guillotine at Maria)? If none of this wakens your interest, visit the Kesselhaus instead and enjoy some Beirut’esque Klezmer-Balkan-Gypsy fusion instead.
You might have already heard it, but Sunn o))) finally return to our quiet little town once again. Even though we heard that the concert is already sold out, we have to mention it. But we also heard that if you just grab yourself a beer and sit down at the Prater Biergarten you’ll have a pretty good chance to listen to the concert anyway… On Monday Jimi Tenor and Kabu Kabu will impress us with some afro-jazz. So if you were looking for an opportunity to wear your Sun-Ra inspired Osiris costume, that might be the chance for it. But he isn’t the only legend in town this week, because on Tuesday Jarboe will enter the stage at Café Zapata (in company of some grim doom metal bands, though). Thursday offers us three small but interesting events. First of all we have the bi-weekly Dubstep Standards party at Edelweiss (this time with our dear friends the Society Suckers and their chiptune-dubstep outfit Karlmarxstadt). Then there will be a concert with Jozef van Wissem, the dutch maestro of electro-acoustic lute. He isn’t as famous as Sir Richard Bishop or James Blackshaw, but  a great and fascinating musician nonetheless. Finally there will be a butoh dance performance at the LUX in Kreuzberg. Goose-bumps guaranteed.
The last recommendation we have for you is a new music site called “The V Sessions”. They want to improve your onlince concert experience and premier on coming Thursday with a live performance by Christian Fennesz. The show will cost 5 € and offer multiple camera angles. We don’t know if their concept will work out, but we wish them the best.

Plenty of new stuff came in last week, so come and visit us!

Yours truly,
Your Dense.

A HAWK AND A HACKSAW

http://www.myspace.com/ahawkandahacksaw

Wer wissen will, wie die Fusion von Balkan-Swing, amerikanischem Folk, Klezmer und türkischer Musik klingt, der wird bei A Hawk And A Hacksaw fündig. Das dritte Album des Duos aus dem US-amerikanischen Albuquerque entstand zum Teil im rumänischen Zece Prajini mit Mitgliedern des weltberühmten Brass-Orchesters FANFARE CIOCARLIA. Das Ergebnis ist ein liebevoller, romantischer Trip durch traditionelle Soundwelten, aufgepeppt durch energetischen Gypsy-Swing. Jeremy Barnes und Heather Trost erhielten auf “The Way The Wind Blows” Unterstützung von Zach Condon von der Gruppe BEIRUT, mit der A Hawk And A Hacksaw in England im Vorprogramm von Calexico aurtraten. “First-class Folk” sagt The Guardian und The Times jubelt: “Leaves you wishing more Rock Bands would show such adventure!” (amazon) Für ihre Tour haben sich A Hawk & A Hacksaw jetzt personell verstärkt und werden als 6- oder 7-köpfige Band zu sehen sein.

STEPHEN O’MALLEY, der Doyen des Drone Doom, stattet gemeinsam mit seinem Kollegen GREG ANDERSON als SUNN O))) dem temporären Ausweichquartier der Volksbühne einen Besuch ab. Da sich das auf niedrigsten Frequenzen angesiedelte Gitarrenbrummen, seit jeher das unkaputtbare Markenzeichen dieser ebenso verehrten wie weithin gefürchteten Band, tief ins Mauerwerk noch jedes Veranstaltungsortes einzufräsen pflegt, bittet die Musikbühne alle Interessenten inständig, die im Spielplan angekündigte Anfangszeit von 20 Uhr unbedingt ernst zu nehmen.

JIMI TENOR & KABU KABU

“The set-up is so dazzling, the sound so sweeping, that at first the show just rolls over you, especially ‘Out of Nowhere’. There’s involvement, too, in the shifting interplay of orchestra, sitar, guitars, vocals and the funky interjections of Jimi’s key boards and sax.” -the Observer “The eight musicians, wearing spangled cloaks and floral garlands, are deceptively good: tight where the music demands it, but equally able to turn in a bit of hooligan jazz, with blaring trumpet and trombone solos, to complement Tenor’s more wayward tendencies… Tenor sits behind a Fender Rhodes suitcase piano, his flute propped against a piercingly amplified Moog, which he plays with his forehead during Tsunami… Only a few people attempt to dance to Tsunami’s monster riff, but everyone loves it anyway. Tenor’s best songs, such as Strawberry Place, Miracles and Beyond the Stars, the title track of his latest album, have maddeningly catchy hooks. And he can do a lot with one note, as the stomping encore of his hit Sugardaddy proves.” -the Guardian “Silly clothes can’t disguise huge talent, writes Evening Standard on Sep 16 in it’s review of Jimi’s gig at London’s Jazz Cafe. According to the review, Jimi is a remarkable multi-instrumentalist who can write and orchestrate brilliantly. “The performance was full of movement and visual interest… though he and his eight-piece band were again decked in bizarre outfits, the music drove relentlessly hard. Three Nigerian newcomers, a kit-drummer and two hand-drum percussionists, explained this surge of energy, but Jimi’s Fender-bassist and guitarist didn’t spare themselves either. His two-man brass section of trumpet and trombone riffed with taut accuracy and soloed with exuberant power, but as always Jimi was continuously the centre of attention.” -the Evening Standard

Jozef van Wissem (NL)
www.myspace.com/vanwissem

+ Support: Steve Gunn/Heidi Diehl (of Vanishing Voice) (US)

+ “Blue” Derek Jarman (UK/1993)

Van Wissem wurde vor einigen Jahren das erste Mal bemerkt, wegen seines radikal konzeptualistischen Gebrauchs von Lautenmusik der Ranaissace: er dekonstruiert vorhandene Kompositionen, beispielsweise in dem er sie rückwärts abspielt. Ebenfalls hat er eigene Stücke für die Laute komponiert, dabei nutzt er Palindrome und Spiegelstrukturen. Die ungewöhnliche Vereinigung von Komposition und Improvisation, lässt eine nie zuvor gehörte Mischung aus zeitgenössischem Folk und früher Musik entstehen. Van Wissem hat gekonnt das kuriose Kunststück vollführt, eine Brücke zu schlagen zwischen der Eigentümlichkeit der Sprache der Lautenliteratur des 17.Jahrhunderts und der Musik der 21.Jahrhunderts. Obschon er subtile elektronische Soundmanipulationen nutzt, ist er der speziellen Klangfarbe, Resonanz und Spieltechnik der Laute treu geblieben. Seit 1999 erforscht Jozef van Wissem palindromische Kompositionenstechniken der Laute, 2008 führte er im Auftrag der London National Gallery „Sola Fide“ auf, welches eine auditive Beschreibung des Gemäldes „Die Gesandten“ von Hans Holbein, aus dem Jahre 1533 ist. Wissem betreibt sein eigenes Incunabulum Label in Brooklyn, und spielt regelmäßig weltweit als Duo mit Gary Lucas (bei Captain Beefheart), Maurizio Bianchi, James Blackshaw, Chris Forsyth, Tetuzi Akiyama und Elliot Sharp.

Christian Fennesz – Live Solo Show

Fennesz cruises along through many different worlds, and he can’t see how that would be a problem. After starting out, guitar in hand, as a member of a rock band inspired by Sonic Youth, the 90′s see him turning to electronic music and acoustic research. He works alone but keeps his eager mind entertained through fruitful collaborations (Le Groupe de Recherches Musicales, Keith Rowe, Ryuichi Sakamoto…). The 2000′s offer him the chance to show what he’s made of: his studio album Endless Summer quickly attains cult status, the Live in Japan recording is voted one the year’s best albums by The Wire, and the latest offering, Black Sea (2008), looks like it’s on track to perform similarly.

Variousing In The Sun

May 19th, 2009 Nicolas No comments

 newsletter190509

Ah, Berlin: the sun, the heat, and the Dense newsletter are all coming back today. One has to love the sweet smell of sweaty wax.

We usually kick off these newsletter by recommending some full lengths, but this week is one for singles. Mandatory inclusion on everybody’s shopping list right now is the Flying Lotus and Joker split 12″ on Tectonic, as well as no less than three new 12″ on Planet Mu (quite electronica with Ital Tek, all wobbly dubstep with the newcommer Gemmy, and a surefire high production with Pinch). You also don’t want to pass on the new EP by 2econd Class Citizen, “One By One”, out on the Berlin based label Equinox,.

Our love this week went however not only to one release, but to a whole band, with the arrival of three new releases by the great Various Production (“As It Stops Raining” and “Buds” on Fire Records, and the self released “Tricycle”). We recommended to you ther first, then their second album, and pretty much everything in between, so I guess it’s time for the whole Dense team to, again, state how much we all enjoy this act’s music.

Finally, our good friend at Belio magazine are celebrating their tenth birthday, and we just got the new issue of this design magazine, which has considerably gained in size and thickness. Check it out.
