( ;D --> London-based artist and producer Ross Tones presents Mosaic, his debut long player under his Throwing Snow moniker. Ross grew up on a huge variety of music from traditional folk songs to reggae and hardcore, and was also influenced by punk and UK metal in the northern wilderness of England. Though an astrophysics graduate, he always wanted to concentrate on music, and the sonically striking 11 track LP follows a run of acclaimed releases put out since 2007 for the likes of Local Action, Ho Tep, Sneaker Social Club and his own Snowfall imprint, and a stint at the revered Red Bull Music Academy in New York last year. Live, Tones is also accomplished, having made numerous Boiler Room appearances and supported the likes of Bonobo, Atoms For Peace and Jon Hopkins. He is also co-owner of record labels the Left Blank and A Future Without, using his accrued industry knowledge to help launch the careers of now established artists Vessel, Wife, Visionist, Lorca, Memotone and Young Echo, and records as Snow Ghosts with vocalist Augustus Ghost.)

∆AIMON
flavors.me/aaimon
soundcloud.com/aaimon
( ;D --> ∆AIMON is a male/female duo working within the dark-electronic genre to produce atmospheric and unsettling compositions. Following the success of 'AMEN', their 2010 debut, FLATLINER builds upon their previous work by peeling back the frayed edges that flirt under overblown production in order to expose a clearly defined, beautiful intensity.
Wearing their influences on their sleeves, the slow, claustrophobic works fit well within the witch-house movement but will definitely appeal to any fans of cold, dark, and occult aesthetics. ∆AIMON's deliberate and methodical approach plays out like a surgical knife, cutting deep and equally precise with heavy beats and concrete synths. Released by the Bay Area label Tundra Dubs, these six new tracks continue to play with the push/pull structure found in ∆AIMON's earlier works but FLATLINER is set apart most obviously by its passionate delivery. Every vocal line and every explicit layer within the dense orchestrations seem built with a specific intent. Dense and weighed heavily by a bleak and oddly romantic sentiment.)

( ;D --> The future of powerful, breathtaking electronic music by Extrawelt (Arne Schaffhausen & Wayan Raabe). Their sound incorporates minimal, progressive and techno, aimed squarely at blowing holes in sound systems. With more than 10 Original Productions and dozens of remixes, Extrawelts’ tank-like driving bass lines, powerful drum beats and blend of menacing, droning, echoing synths are impressing everyone from your 8 year old sister to some of the most prolific DJs in the world including Sasha, John Digweed, James Holden and Sven Vath. Early on Extrawelt’s productions quickly caught the ear of James Holden, who signed their first track to his own Border Community Label. James gave the track a working title “soopertrack” which stuck, and soon became a manifesto for their music, producing and releasing dance floor bomb after bomb, through labels including the Iconic Cocoon label, Traum, Great Stuff and Giant Wheel.)

Patten

www.patttten.com/
( ;D --> Patten’s music doesn’t benefit from prolonged exposure. Certainly, condensed into 23 minutes on the Eolian Instate EP, the producer’s signature style is far more palatable. The tracks on this, his debut release for Warp, are a touch more incisive, although in other respects it seems that little has changed for Patten in the past two years. The sound remains much the same—a pulverised form of electronica tempered with a subtle melodic glow—and passing comparisons can still be made to Actress’ heat-warped techno, or Flying Lotus at his most fervidly psychedelic.)

Koan
soundcloud.com/koanofficial
( ;D --> Producing sophisticated psychedelic Chill Out music is a discipline within the electronic music scene that is similar to playing Jazz in a certain respect: It needs maturity and extensive musical experience to go beyond the scope of standards, to become really good and extraordinary. This might have to do with the fact that this kind of music is not aiming a busy dance floor, rising its hands and shouting out loud during the breaks.  Instead of that, it is made for the individual mind and therefore includes a less functional but pretty intellectual, mature and also very artistic moment. Seen in front of this background, the history of Koan gives some interesting hints about the astonishing musical quality of this Russian duo.)

Choir Boy

( ;D --> “Choir Boy” was what the kids called singer/songwriter Adam Klopp in his early teens when he fronted punk cover bands in Cleveland, Ohio.  An intended insult, the label seemed fair and fitting in a way, given Klopp’s religious upbringing and angelic voice. After high school, Adam left Ohio for college in Utah. While his career as a student would prove short-lived, he integrated into Provo and SLC’s underground music and art scene, left religion behind, and called his new band “Choir Boy”.)

( ;D --> Helena Hauff is a German DJ and record producer based in Hamburg, Germany. She is known for her "stripped-down techno and electro tracks," that are recorded using strictly analog equipment and draws influences from acid house, EBM and industrial music.)
Kern Vol. 5 – Exclusives + Rarities
bleep.com/release/189135-helena-hauff-kern-vol-5-exclusives-rarities
( ;D --> Helena Hauff is the latest artist to step up to the plate and contribute a mix for Tresor’s Kern series. Kern Vol. 5 – Exclusives + Rarities stretches to thirty-one entries, and one look at the tracklist lets you know that you're in for a typical bracing ride from the uncompromising Hauff. The advent, Galaxian, Volruptus, Umwelt, Hauff herself - these are not producers who pull punches in crafting some of the hardest electro joints around. A triple-LP vinyl edition of Kern Vol. 5 – Exclusives + Rarities allows you to experience full versions of a dozen tracks from the mix on wax. From Esoterik’s ‘Mayhem’, a tune that sounds like all of Kraftwerk’s outboard gear malfunctioning at the same time, to the B-movie creep of Andrea Parker + David Morley’s ‘After Dark’, these are outstanding selections from a peerless tastemaker.)
