Dense

Wait, what’s that, do you ask yourself in disbelief, checking the subject and sender of this email. Yes, the world shakes to its very foundation as the Dense newsletter rises back from the dead, ready to inform you about beats, breaks and riffs that you just need to listen to. Let it be known, that after a period of internet silence, we’re back with a vengeance. Just like that.

And what’s burning hot, you ask? How about you learn about 2562’s new album, “Unbalance”, considering how much everybody here loved last year’s previous “Aerial”? Or to stay in the grey waters between dubstep, techno and electronica, give a try to Shackleton and Invasion’s “Wizard in dub”, or the two new Ikonika records on Planet Mu and Hyperdub? And yes, I’m told you all should know that we also have in stock the new Four Tet 12″ on Domino, containing a remix by Roska. We’ve also received some new 8-bit dub from the Jahtari roster, and some seriously broken hardcore from The Outside Agency.

Those of you who want things a bit rockier should enjoy the new Fuck Buttons album, “Tarot Sport”, Yo La Tengo’s “Popular Songs” or a really nice DVD documenting Einstürzende Neubauten’s first concert in the then not yet reunited East Berlin. After this, you might chill out with the long delayed but finally there vinyl version of Rafael Anton Irisarri’s excellent “Daydreaming” album on Miasmah.

Finally, we’re feeling particularey generous lately and want to educate your ears a bit more. Therefore, everybody buying for more than 30 € in the coming days will be able to go home with a free copies of Nurse With Wound’s “Paranoisa In Hi-Fi” CD, an album which the Dirter label is making available only through regular indie shops like ourself. So come, get some record and get acquainted with the nurse.

Freunde,

diese Woche haben wir was ganz Feines für euch! Wir verlosen wir 2×2 Karten für das Wordsound Label-Showcase im Josef heute abend! Zu Wordsound als Label und Spectre und Sensational als Künstler muss man wohl kaum was sagen, da sie eindeutig ein paar Meilensteine in den Bereichen Hip Hop und Dub gesetzt haben. Wer sie kennt, wird sowieso heute Abend dort sein und wer noch nicht von ihnen gehört hat, bildet sich mit Hilfe der Links weiter und kommt dann garantiert auch vorbei. Und vier von euch sogar umsonst. Also, schreibt uns ‘ne Mail an dates (at) dense-shop.de und mit etwas Glück und Voodoo könnt ihr euch zu den Glücklichen zählen!
Das Kalyug Festival bringt nach langer Zeit mal wieder Braunschweigs wichtigsten musikalischen Export auf eine Berliner Bühne: Troum. Ehemals als Maeror Tri unterwegs sind die Drone Records Macher bekannt für ihre Mischung aus analogem Ambient und ritualhaften Soundscapes, die manchmal in den Post-Rock reichen. Eine intensive Atmosphäre ist garantiert.
Wir haben sie euch ja vor ein paar Monaten schon Mal empfohlen und tun es dieses Mal wieder: Fliehende Stürme, Deutschlands deprimierteste Düsterpunk-Band ist mal wieder in der Stadt. Also, setzt euch ein Vogelnest auf den Kopf, holt die Lederjacke mit dem Bauhaus-Patch aus dem Schrank und packt ‘ne Flasche Sterni als Reiseproviant ein…
Darüber hinaus gibt es am Donnerstag einen Abend mit der Scape-Supergroup Groupshow (Jan Jelinek, Andrew Pekler and Hanno Leichtmann), bei dem mal wieder gezeigt wird, wo der Hammer in Sachen improvisierter Musik hängt. Und auch das Umlaut-Festival beginnt und lädt zu vier Tagen Musik, Kunst und Performances ein.

Wie ihr seht steht mal wieder einiges an. Wenn ihr aber zwischendurch von all der Aufregung eine Pause braucht kommt bei uns vorbei, wir vermissen euch schon. Aber das wisst ihr wahrscheinlich, oder?

Euer Dense Records Shop.

“They already sounded like today’s hipsters Flying Lotus and Samiyam at the end of the nineties.” (Generation Bass)
…. und sie kommen wieder: Der König des freigeistigen Krächz-Rap, der unkorrumpierbare Don des Underground-Dub und sein begabtester Adept. Sensational, Spectreund Mentol Nomad öffnen die Pforten der Wahrnehmung als klandestines Dreigstirn im Zeichen des Bass. Auf geheimer Mission verbreiten sie eine einmalige, weltweit einflussreiche Soundmixtur aus Hip-Hop, Dub, outernationalen Beats und tiefempfundener Basswellen-Esoterik direkt aus den Kerkern des verrottetenden großen Apfels. WordSound wurde Mitte der 90er Jahre von Skiz Fernando Jr. und einer kleinen Gruppe von befreundeten Bassverrückten gegründet, die in den Kellern und Studios von Brooklyn eine düstere, urbane, politisch und mystisch aufgeladene Spielart von Dub produzierten. Damit nahmen Producer und Künstler wie Spectre (Fernandos Pseudonym), Roots Control, Scarab, Professor Shehab, We™, Bill Laswell und viele andere der auf den „Crooklyn Dub Consortium“ Samplern vertretenen Künstler, einige Merkmale vorweg, die heute dem britische 2Step-Derivat Dubstep ihren Reiz verleihen: die verschleppten Tempi, die verrauchte Klangästhetik, das Interesse für den Orient und vor allem den massiven Bass. Darüber hinaus erschienen auf WordSound LPs aus den Bereichen Drum&Bass/World Music (Leon Lamont, Dr. Israel), eine Zusammenarbeit von DJ Vadim und Kevin Martin (erstmals unter dem Namen The Bug), eine Serie von Hip-Hop-Instrumentals mit Beats von u.a. Rob Swift und Jungle Brother Afrika Baby Bam (Subterranean Hits Vol 1–3), sowie die ersten Veröffentlichungen von rappenden Grenzgängern wie dem verrückten MC Paul Barman oder auch dem jüngst wiedervereinigten Anti Pop Consortium auf dem Vinyl-only-Ableger Black Hoodz. Und nur wenige wissen, dass auch Techno-Liebling Superpitcher dort unter dem Namen Sir Positive eine Handvoll derber Dubs veröffentlichte. Ein Höhepunkt der WordSound-History ist sicherlich „Crooked“, ein selbstproduzierter, semibiographischer Film über Aufstieg und Fall eines genialen Rappers, gespielt von einem der Vorzeigeacts des Labels: Sensational. Ehemaliges Mitglied der Jungle Brothers, ein Young Dirty Bastard und wohl der einzige Rapper, der auch über Stockhausen reimen kann. Nach Jahren der erfolgreichen Zusammenarbeit haben Spectre und Sensational mit “Acid & Bass” erstmal ein gemeinsames Album eingepielt und begeben sich abermals auf ihre gefährliche Mission durch Zentraleuropa. Dritter Mann ist dieses Jahr der zwischenzeitlich in Japan ansässige DJ, Producer und Musiker Mentol Nomad, der in „Crooked“ die zweite, an Skiz’ Biographie angelehnte Hauptrolle spielte und der sein Debut „Mentallica … and its Inhabitants“ ebenfalls auf WordSound veröffentlichte. Seitdem sind mit „Image Eye Nation“ und „Pineal Proof“ zwei deutlich gereifte Nachfolger erschienen, die das WordSound Erbe eindrucksvoll ins ins neue Jahrtausend tragen.

In October’s early dawning a pan-european brigade of second hand vanguards, deep drone operators and psychedelic post-industrialists will gather in exactly that kind of place to celebrate a double night orgy in order to paint the eschaton deserts of our everyday lives in brand new colours.

GROUPSHOW

http://www.myspace.com/thegroupshow

GROUPSHOW is a project by three producers of electronic music based in Berlin: Jan Jelinek, Andrew Pekler and Hanno Leichtmann.
The three artists, steeped in the formal language of minimalism, engage in a boundary-free collective improvisation that has its ancestors in both Fluxus and Krautrock. GROUPSHOW performances do not recreate previously rehearsed or recorded music. Instead, they attempt to make an open-ended aesthetic process both audible and tangible.
The pursuit of these aims has several practical consequences. Wherever possible, GROUPSHOW position themselves and their equipment in the middle of the performance space, avoiding the use of a stage, risers or any kind of spatial separation between performer and audience. The lighting remains static and clinical throughout the performance while real-time video, filming from directly above the musicians and projected onto a wall or screen, shows the three members playing and manipulating their tangled pile of equipment.
Whenever possible, GROUPSHOW begin playing before any audience members enter, thus deliberately avoiding the dramaturgical imperative of an opening from which the rest of the musical narrative is expected to unfold. As the intensity of the music and degree of the audience’s attention are both subject to flux, GROUPSHOW set no time limit to their performances and members of the audience are free to come and go, engage and disengage with the music as they please.

URBAN WITCHES NOT BITCHES VERNISSAGE

life performances with:
Legs Akimbo
Rubbish Fairy
Company Fuck
DJ McGaffee at the Eschschloraque Rümschrümp

exhibition by
Diana Arce
Fake Mistress
Legs Akimbo
Lucy A. Roberts
Rubbish Fairy

Separated from the power giving source of nature and the wilderness, urban witches use the cityscape as a new primordial forest- a place filled with dangers but also a source of abundant sustenance if they live in harmony with the city and honor it. As a result, the latent power of the city is evoked and an Urban Witch is able to find power in simple man made objects as nature’s energy can be discovered in anything that was created. Urban Witches are in touch with the inherent synchronistic flow of the city which they can ride on just like the U Bahn if they keep their third eyes open. An Urban Witches basic mantra is “TUNE INTO SYNCHRONICITY AND THE CITY WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE.” Urban Witches therefore communicate with the guardians of the city- the Neon Divas and Electric Gods like streetlights and vending machines. Their temples are high rise buildings and dance clubs, they can recognize and interpret the modern signals of graffiti. Urban Witches not Bitches is a gathering of Urban Witches featuring the Altars of the Urban Witches: Rubbish Fairy (London), Legs Akimbo (Team Plastique, Berlin) and Lucy A.Roberts (Berlin). Made synchronistically from found and recycled objects, these Urban Witch altars present how women in the city can create an alternative world outside of the competitive bitch culture “girl power” presented by the mass media with groups like “The Pussycat Dolls”. Urban Witches not Bitches are also very unique- they do not follow a prescribed New Age or Wicca spirituality but instead find power by discovering and expressing their positive, strong and amazing individual natures. Urban Witches not Bitches invite Urban Peeps to visit their Urban Witch Altars in the hope that Urban Peeps can also reconnect with their inner minds and seek alternative astral planes.

[Soot, Version]

TROPICALLL!!!!
With its African, indigenous Indian and colonial roots in Colombia, Cumbia music has suddenly been catapulted into a new era. In the same way that Kuduro, Kwaito, Baile funk, Reggaeton are intertwined with Dancehall, Hip Hop, Crunk, Dubstep and Techno, Cumbia is now also part of the endless list of genres that have surfaced as urban, electronic and world music are mashed together by the club kids of today.
DJs, producers, and bloggers worldwide who are united by the internet and an insatiable hunger for subculture, bass and uncharted musical territory have been embracing Cumbia and its sexy, bassy riddims.
Following in the footsteps of labels such as Diplo’s MadDecent or Man Recordings in Berlin, Zizek Records reflects a movement where the cross-cultural chaos is the motto and in fact a genre for itself!
The Argentina based label Zizek Records was born out of a regular club night in Buenos Aires called Club Zizek, where local djs have played alongside international crossover artists such as Diplo, Jahcoozi and Daniel Haaksman. Soon Zizek (named after the forward-thinking Slovenian Philosopher) became established as the most innovative and happening dance party in Buenos Aires and probably South America for that matter. With a loyal following they slowly started to build up their own artists on the Zizek Records imprint and touring the world with their homegrown artists and club night.
Still buzzing from their widely acclaimed gig at Roskilde Festival this summer, ZZK Records artists Douster and Fauna are stopping at WMF to smack Berlin accross the face with a dose of their highly contagious and tropical danceable music.

Tropical Fever !! bring it on!!

It’s no secret that the summer is a relatively calm period on the release front, which explains why this week’s Dense newslist manages to stay below the 100 items bar. And still, quite a few gemms arrived this week. Perfect timing therefore for all of you to come and check them out before September comes, with its avalanche of new material.

Where to start this time? With Animal Collective’s “Summertime Clothes remixes”, as it fits this time of the year perfectly. Or maybe with something more rooted in german experimentalism, with “Durch die Wüste” from Roedelius (available on both CD and vinyl). And to keep things as challenging and high profile, how about the collaboration CD between Pan Sonic and Keiji Haino, Nurse With Wound’s new album, or Sub Rosa’s new “Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music”?

If we want to keep things a bit more accessible and club-oriented, Planet Mu delivery some nice garage with Brackles’s “LHC”, Stivs and Ed Cox unleash some well found jungle on Death$ucker, and 16 Bit stay 16 Bit, delivering some of the most interesting dubstep of the moment.

Here’s the list. Enjoy the summer, and keep on densing:
