UNSURE 005EP

$16.00
PREORDER
RELEASE DATE: 7/11/2025
With this new EP called Last Night A Bassline Saved My Life, again released on Unsure, Stefan Schwander further refines the philosophy and sound of his latest concept While My Sequencer Gently Bleeps. Following his idea of reduction Schwander used only the Elektron Monomachine to shape four amazing tracks, beautifully balanced, searching for the perfect groove, stripped of all unnecessary. "Compromise," the first track, may even be a reminiscence to Schwanders legendary releases as Antonelli Electr, super transparent and super crisp, yet still warm, deep and human, an understated wonder of a track! "Persona" and the title track got those dubby chords and effective synths, an inimitable tightness and basslines that can save your life indeed. And on "Escalator" Schwander comes up with extraordinary rolling and twisting rhythms and some sonic essentials that only the master of the sequencer can deliver. Distinguished.

Madteo is one of the great eccentric visionaries of electronic music and his new album Misto Atmosferico E Ad Azione Diretta on Unsure once more happens to be a mind-bending piece of art. Misto Atmosferico E Ad Azione Diretta shifts between focused gritty grooves and the long freeform associative adventures that you haven't heard before, never static, sometimes overwhelming, always on edge. The opener "Cans People" is an archaic rave monster, "To Know Those Who" is non-linear dub techno, "Nocturnal Palates" expands the "Filter House" universe and "Rave Nite Itz All Right" hits you hard and strange (yet subtle, in a way). The last two tracks then let loose; Madteo manipulates time, space and sounds to create the psychedelic secrets of "Luglio Ottantotto." And "Emo G (Sticky Wicket)" explores the outskirts not only of house or techno or whatever but music in general, a 15-min-trip through the low frequencies, the rumble, the dark hearts and the enchantment. Breathtaking. Bring The Voodoo Down.

UNSURE 003EP

There has been some waiting for new music by Giuseppe Leonardi since his highly-praised releases for Second Circle, and now the waiting is over. Seven amazing tracks form the aptly titled mini-album 7, out now on Unsure. 7 starts with the in-every-way-unexpected "Suzi Wong," a highly addictive (and unusual) kind of reggae-and-dub-influenced mutant disco adventure with amazing vocals and unbelievably tripping grooves. "Anti-Narcotics Police" follows this road of raw and playful coolness, but Giuseppe of course has way more to offer: "Both" and "Rrrrrrr" are uplifting house music with a quirky touch of pop, the compelling rhythms and basslines of "Wonder Girls" and "Wondering" remind a little of Stefan Schwanders new thing While My Sequencer Gently Bleeps and the funkiness and sweetness of Deadline and its magical melodies brighten the gloomiest day. A unique pleasure!

Stefan Schwander of course is a man of many names and visions (such as Harmonious Thelonious, Repeat Orchestra and A Rocket in Dub) and here's his latest one: While My Sequencer Gently Bleeps comes up with OK on new Hamburg-based label Unsure. As While My Sequencer Gently Bleeps Schwander strips down his equipment even further and refines his longstanding idea of creating reduced minimalistic tracks radiating warmth, digging deep and delivering the groove. The five tracks on OK all follow one basic flow: big basslines, elegant chords and transparent arrangements, rhythms as compelling as unobtrusive. Schwanders love for dub shimmers through the tracks, just as his poptrained flair for seductive harmonies. Beautiful groovy music from Düsseldorf to the world. On and on and on.

UNSURE 001EP
|
Helium Robots aka Ewan Willmott comes up with new exciting music for the first release of new label Unsure. On Miniatures the Robots offer deep rich house music in the tradition of their releases for Running Back and Misfit Melodies, with huge bass lines ("Flam") and synths that are as uplifting as melancholic ("Pure Lost"). But they also explore new horizons: "Sweetie" touches the glorious days of English IDM, its abstract slow-motion beats and meandering percussive patterns are sparse and stripped down, yet there's the lush harmonies that make "Sweetie" strangely sweet indeed. And "Rouse" is the most beautiful electronica: hypnotic grooves and shimmering melodies, tender and full of light.
