MUTANT BEAT DANCE	Mutant Beat Dance	2CD	RUSH HOUR	RHM 027CD
$27.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/27/2018 Mutant Beat Dance has returned with their debut self-titled 25-track album. The record image booklet has been in development since 2015 with over 200 minutes running time and is released in various formats. The debut album from renegade trio Mutant Beat Dance -- Melvin Oliphant (Traxx), Beau Wanzer, and Steve Summers -- takes the wild and free sound of Chicago's Music Box era into the 21st century. Over twenty-five tracks the album mines an oft-cited but rarely understood ground at the intersection of post-punk, minimal wave, industrial, disco dub, EBM, and proto-house/early-House. Mutant Beat Dance is an epic journey into a classic American ideology that had its apex in Chicago. This aesthetic has already proven influential on many artists across the globe. Least of which is the Grammy-winning LCD Soundsystem whose members Tyler Pope and Patrick Mahoney back Melvin on vocals here on the Martin Hannett and Howard Devoto inspired "Feed The Enemy". Another LCD member Gavin Rayna Russom also provides vocals on the later-cut "Geometrical Disease" as Black Meteoric Star. Mutant Beat Dance was originally a duo made up of Traxx, and molecular biologist, Chicagoan Beau Wanzer. Traxx and Beau have been working on this concept in various forms throughout the last decade on solo and duo releases. After a rack full of releases, the duo began to refine their concept from 2015 on into its most thoroughly developed state -- the result is this epic 25-track, 200-minute long debut M.B.D album for Rush Hour. Given the scope of the material for the project it became logical and necessary to expand the unit to include its newest member Brooklyn based Steve Summers known for his releases on Clone Jack For Daze, Confused House, and others. Together this hard-working trio has completed an album with an enormous diversity of song styles unlike anything they have ever done before. Unique in its musical range and content from obscure electronics with subliminal messages to funk-laden machine grooves, industrial soundscapes, Detroit dirge, cryptic ankle bitter anthems, and beyond, this is a genre-bending challenging monster of an album that may scare you at first but push forward and deep rewards lie within. Also features Marianna and Naughty Wood.

BACALOV, DANIEL	1984/5: Il Ladro Di Anime/Diario Segreto Contraffatto	2LP	SOAVE	SOAVE 017-18LP
$40.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/13/2018 Soave present a joint reissue of two of Daniel Bacalov's albums: Il Ladro Di Anime (1984) and Diario Segreto Contraffatto (1985). Daniel Bacalov, composer of music for theater, cinema, and dance, studied classical guitar and percussion. He composed the music of numerous theatrical performances represented in many international theater festivals. His first two publications on LP were Il Ladro Di Anime, presented at the Venice Biennial of 1984 and Diario Segreto Contrattato. Soave offer these two fundamental documents of the period, reprinting them for the first time in a limited edition on double LP. The compositions are mainly structured on ethnic percussions played in a masterly manner, accompanied by acoustic guitars and synths of the time, in particular the DX7 and PPG Wave. The dictated rhythm unites the show as a universal and indeterminate single body. In those years the theater in Italy broke from its usual codes, mixing "high" and "low" culture, introducing a new language and new reflections, redefining the theatrical event and the need to investigate all the territories of creativity; in this panorama the sounds and the music assumed a central importance that today remain the most concrete testimony of that extremely creative experimental period.

DAVIDSON, MARIE	Perte D'Identite	LP	WEYRD SON RECORDS	WYS 005LP
$25.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/13/2018 Now waiting for 2018 repress, endlessly delayed... Originally released by Weyrd Son Records in 2014. Perte D'Identite is the debut LP by composer, singer, and poet Marie Davidson, one of the finest artists rising from the electronic dark-synth scene in Montreal. Her voice is a stark, half-spoken monotone which will tell you stories from which you can't escape unchanged. With Perte D'Identite, she refines her storytelling with suffocating tales that are both intimate and melancholic. Meanwhile, her miraculously human electronic rhythms are as frantic and hypnotic as an intense stare. In her premier full-length album, she invites you to take a look in the peephole, revealing a fascinating cinematic picture. What you will see are the parts of yourself which you're scared and ashamed of, but also the ones that reveal a haunting and glamorous sensuality. Includes a remix by Cristobal U & The Mole.

OZMOTIC	Elusive Balance	CD	TOUCH	TO 107CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/13/2018 Ozmotic is a multidisciplinary artistic project, deeply fascinated by the dynamics of contemporary society, by architecture, cities, and vast uncontaminated spaces. Ozmotic creates world sounds characterized by an intense tonal variety and a refined rhythmic research. The interaction between electronic music and digital visual art in real time is an essential trait of Ozmotic's aesthetic. Having previously collaborated with Fennesz, Murcof, Bretschnider, and Senking, Elusive Balance is their third album, following AirEffect in 2015, and Liquid Times in 2016 (both for FolkWisdom). Ozmotic now release their debut album for Touch, Elusive Balance. Elusive Balance explores the relationship between humans and nature, as well as the search for balance between these two great entities. The theme of equilibrium and its precariousness, and its natural tendency to achieve relative stability connects all living things. Equilibrium is also a junction point and evolutionary engine -- unstable and elusive, ready to deteriorate and to start a new reaction mechanism bringing organisms to a new harmony. "Beauty is a rare and fleeting thing; it often corresponds to those phases where we can grasp that unstable equilibrium which exists between us and the world at large." Musically the album seeks resolution of sound contrasts, in a continuous search for an emotional component that gives simultaneously a feeling of tension and stillness. There is a duality between the "organic" components (represented by soprano sax and percussion) and their interaction with machines and computers. In Elusive Balance, Ozmotic investigate the essence of their sound to expand its emotional and compositional potential. Each track contains a search for a synthesis between sound elements apparently distant from each other, but in reality, they create a new balance -- as poetic as it is musical. The album's seven tracks draw a sonic flow in which the melodic aspects are countered by glitches and angular sounds, and the ambient passages are subjected to heavy rains of rhythm, leaving space for dreamlike moments.

Galvanized by heavily swung drums, loaded and coded with a venom-like funk and characterized by a big sound system vocal that tears out of nowhere and disappears just as quickly; it's yet another unique piece of 303 witchcraft, the likes of which only Wink can conjure. Deeply groovy, unabashed darkness, and just a nuance of mischief with the vocal, it's yet another precision piece from Mr. Wink who's also kindly provided an instrumental for your added creative pleasure.

DEE, MANNI	The Residue	2LP	TRESOR	TRESOR 304LP
$25.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 6/29/2018 Tresor present the release of Manni Dee's first album, The Residue. Based in London, Manni Dee is held in high esteem by many for his spotless production and relentless DJ sets. The gleaming rendition of Manni's creative vision stuns. He knows sounds inside-out, making his studio a favorite stop for many to receive Manni's expertise. The production of The Residue was inspired by the city of London and its general living conditions. More particularly, how social cleansing, inequality, and the political situation generally -- and on a holistic scale -- informs internal and external locus of control. The Residue is disconsolate, and with such heart-wrenching tracks as "In Communal Solitude", "Vicarious Living", or "Submit. Breathe." or the mutinous "At Mercy Of The Muse" and "Paroxysm", Manni Dee clearly cuts out his insurgent statement.

MARTYN	Voids	2LP	OSTGUT TON	OSTGUT 029LP
$26.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 6/29/2018 Double LP version. Martyn releases the new album Voids, his first for Ostgut Ton. Over the course of 2017, Dutch-born, Washington D.C.-based producer Martyn had undergone a metamorphosis -- one that began with a medical emergency and has dovetailed into personal musical transformation. Having narrowly avoided death after suffering a heart attack, Martyn reentered his studio and began a process of reassessing the elements that drive him to make music: sampling, unpredictability, melancholy, sci-fi, polyrhythms, texture, ecstatic moments, Detroit, interlocking percussion and bass. However, the initial spark to start producing again came through his experience listening to Max Roach's 1979 ensemble percussion album M'Boom. In his own words: "That was the first record I listened to in my studio after coming out of the hospital. It's a project where he works with a slew of top-notch percussionists and drummers and rotates them for every composition . . . I could hear so much space in the music, something I had never noticed before; almost like a 3D experience, with the most striking aspect being the emptiness between the players." Over the next eight months Martyn would go on to write Voids, his first LP for Ostgut Ton and in a few other ways markedly different than previous records; it features no guest appearances or collaborations and at nine tracks, is musically stripped down to the essentials. It's also a highly personal take on forging new paths forward in genres where the Berghain/Panorama Bar resident has long been known for his production wizardry and innovation: post-dubstep and UK garage. Voids is roughly split between these musical foundations, recontextualized with elements of Nyabinghi, drum 'n' bass, and gqom to form snarling, bass-driven hybrids. In contrast to his GL Outtakes (2017), Voids is also an attempt to work through personal trauma and loss, including the passing of close friend and fellow producer Marcus Intalex, aka Trevino, to whom the track "Manchester" is dedicated. The sound of Voids is big and unapologetically rough around the edges. It is music as therapy, drawing on the healing elements of music past, but is far from retrospective. Indeed, Martyn is no stranger to electronic futurism, as his numerous solo productions for Ostgut Ton, Dolly, Hyperdub, Brainfeeder, Ninja Tune, Warp, and his own 3024 label (with visual collaborator Jeroen Erosie) have shown. On Voids, however, these futuristic sonic qualities coalesce into something darker, more biographical and untethered from expectations.

$14.50 LOW STOCK LEVEL The second record on Pen & Paper contains two Session Victim original tunes, demonstrating the duo's trademark taste for sublime sample composition. "Smile" is dominated by a heavy drum set that paves the way for an assortment of smaller and bigger funk loops, eventually joined by a vibrant lo-fi chord. "Mourn" sees a moody blues sample float on top of the creamiest synth pad, echoing in-and-out while telling it's dark, old story.

RONKKO, TATU	Spheres	LP	SONIC PIECES	PATT 007LP
$34.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 6/29/2018 Spheres is not only Tatu Rönkkö's debut album, but it's also one of the most unusual entries in the Sonic Pieces catalog so far. As the de-facto reason for Efterklang starting off their new band Liima, Tatu is one of the most diverse and intriguing percussionists working today. Rönkkö appeared out of nowhere sometime around 2010, performing intense improvised concerts in home-kitchens around Berlin and abroad, using the room and everything in it as his instrument. On Spheres, which includes almost only self-made instruments from everyday objects, he's taken this idea to the next level. The kitchen and the improvisations around it have been concentrated down to six standalone pieces of music, produced in incredible detail. The sound hovers in the dark lands between tribal experimentations, '90s jungle ambient textures, and electro-acoustic endeavors. Pieces like "Then" are reminiscent of a more focused Aphex Twin performing with Konono Nº1 in the Finnish woods. While the title track "Spheres" even links the sound all the way back to early Photek with its reduced cinematic textures and explosive repetitive beats. All of this says rather little about the actual album as it feels completely its own. Especially the incredible centerpiece "Tekoäly", featuring Islaja on vocals, which sounds like nothing else. Rönkkö is a true visionary who manages to balance his mass of sound sources in an expert fashion. Spheres is an otherworldly listen. Cover with laser-cutting and printed inner sleeve; Includes download code; Edition of 500.

$12.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 6/29/2018 The shortest connection between the past and the future leads through the music of Boston 168, the duo of Sergio Pace and Vincenzo Ferramosca. "Cosmic Tribe" translates its idea of universal togetherness into a nerve-wrecking groove punctuated by complex percussion work and a subtly building acid line, while "Drops In Heaven" uses a booming kick drum as base for an emotionally driven exploration of sonic textures. The psychedelic "Straight To Light" nods to nineties pioneers like Emmanuel Top, showcasing Ferramosca and Pace's talent for creating musical depth by ingeniously bringing together a few select elements to greater effect.

CONTAINER	LP	LP	SPECTRUM SPOOLS	SP 048LP
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 6/29/2018 Ren Schofield has returned with a new installment in his notorious LP series for Spectrum Spools. LP has all the earmarks of the classic Container sound with its uber-mangled, saturated tape garble and headlong tempo macabre. However, this new set of tracks feature an attention to composition unlike much of the Container you've previously heard. While the tracks unfurl across two sides of wax the contours and jagged edges of each sonic sculpture display a new refinement while maintaining the full capacity to vaporize any club floor with Container's traditional recklessness. Miraculously, this new LP manages to incorporate some more traditionally "musical" elements thus far untouched upon in the projects output while simultaneously delivering it's most damaged and blown out offering yet. Despite leaving a trail of albums that get more intense with each passing year, this LP is bar none the most loaded. The tracks feature a trajectory with narrative, surrounded by broken acid basslines grating against disintegrating tape loops. This is the infectious and singular hypnosis Container has become well-known for. Overloaded drum patterns, washes of feedback, and dying melodies -- it's all here and somehow it's restructured to be different and better than ever before. With this latest installment, there are no longer shambles but merely dust left behind. As Container continues to evolve in an upward motion, LP presents a refreshing and welcome new chapter. Recorded in Cleveland, Ohio in October 2017 by Andrew Veres. Artwork by Ren Schofield.
