Tresor is a phenomenon of our time. Instead of leaning back and enjoying reissue royalties of its gigantic back catalogue, the label from Berlin keeps going with an impressive repertoire. It would be wrong to assume that ‘ah, Tresor again, we know’ because with a skilful A&R work they onlyRead More →
The last days of December 20 years ago were spent in great anticipation of the Millennium Bug. The darkest plots saw the future of the (wo)mankind endangered, if the computers would have flipped out. Luckily, hardly anything of these predictions materialised and doomsday scenarios were postponed. Which means that 20Read More →
A special of digital-only electro releases that all would deserve a crowdfunding campaign, for being pressed in heavy wax. ***** Any Act – Гражданский Акт EP (Any Act self-released – 2o19) Seismic tremors from Russia, a manifest of civil society by the means of bass and breaks from a (soRead More →
Legowelt’s recent stunt to offer free download of his album “Teac Life” seemed a compliment to his long-standing fans. It was as unexpected as was subsequent news of the same album being pressed on quadruple vinyl, seeming a silly kind of luxury after the content was, and still is, sharedRead More →
You may assume that a studio meeting of Anthony Child and Jay Denham is a noisy and pounding affair, but not necessarily, because in “Creep EP” the two techno masters are keeping up a rather low-key and stripped-down dialogue when the title track undulates and swings on minimal bell-like sounds.Read More →
When I incidentally started the masinamusa.blogspot.com back in 2006, just to share my impressions on great electronic and club music I come across, then it was mainly writing for myself. Now I try to produce a brief review about any piece of music I obtain and sometimes pick up gemsRead More →
Etnomaiguline klõbistamine, mis kannab endast lisaks tribalile ka dub house‘i meeleolusid. Original ja club mix on ühesuguses võtmes, viimane neist natuke hoogsam ja mitmekihilisem. Plaadi taga on Raoul K-nimeline tegelane, kellele langeb au tuua massidesse uue, Berliinist pärit leibeli Baobab Music esimene teos. Sobib klubis hingetõmbepassaažideks, sümpaatne ning kergelt suvine.Read More →
Rick Wade, kusagilt Detroidi ja Chicago vahepealt ja seda on kuulda. A-poole avalugu (“Lo Starts”) meisterdades võis Wade seada eesmärgiks luua maailma kõige tavalisema hausipala ning see tal ka õnnestus. “Theory of Varice” toob mängu souli ja jazzi, taustal pehmed bongod ning törts juhuslikku saksofoni. “World Voice” sarnaneb oma lõõgastunudRead More →
Ostwindi 12-tolline ilmus suve lõpus, järgides mõnevõrra Mojuba poolt aetud melanhoolsevõitu ja rahuliku dub techno liini (eriti “Endless Summer”). Hi-hat’ide ja kellukesekõlinatega dekoreeritud helijutustuste vahel on sattunud B-poole tempokas “Trash Dance”, mis põikab 90ndate alguse ravescene’i.Read More →
