Sleepy Town Manufacture – Hello And Goodbye EP {mtk208}

Artist: Sleepy Town Manufacture
Title: Hello And Goodbye EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk208
Release Date: 2009/01/03

Monotonik is delighted to present a new EP from Russian idm stars Sleepy Town Manufacture, some six years after they released their first tracks for the label.

The result is the evocative ‘Hello And Goodbye EP’, four tracks of wonderfully laidback electronic, starting out with the looping, languid ‘Trem’. Next up is ‘Oopon’, showcasing all kinds of beautiful, pitchperfect chord and percussion action.

Finally, we have the slightly harder, more angular ‘Zzujd’, before we finish out with the title track, all kinds of phasing, pastoral sounds. We’re very happy to have you back in Sleepy Town with us.

Pam – Ah! {pj005}

Artist: Pam
Title: Ah!
Label: Petite&Jolie
Catalog #: pj005
Release Date: 2008/12/31

As simple as ABC.

We received, listened, enjoyed, released.
It would be the formula of the perfect and unexplainable “coup de coeur”.

And what would be the best thing to start a new year with such a soothing piece of simplicity?

Pam definily came up with a concept: Simple melodies, cute’n’weird ambiances, no percussions.
Seriously, would you need more?

Its like the right soundtrack to make a final point about the year 2008.
Tiny synth sounds, played with simplicity honesty and even naivety, minimalism at his best.
The soundtrack of changes, introspection and even more than that all: the ballads of your past days!

Shhhh, listen.

Petite&Jolie wishes you a happy new year.

Tracklist:
01 – Dream girl
02 – Smile eyes
03 – There you are!
04 – Cherry lips
05 – Dreamy face
06 – Nightmare
07 – Tender hands
08 – Ending tears

choplin – dubstep mix! {netdj019}

Artist: choplin
Title: dubstep mix!
Label: Oír Para Creer
Catalog #: netdj019
Release Date: 2008/12/20

La última netdj del año viene con un sonido especial, terminamos este 2008 a ritmo de un estilo que poco a poco empieza a hacer sentir su peso en la escena netlabel como es el dubstep. Durante este año han aparecido varias referencias dubstep con muy buenos artistas que apoyan este estilo, y el otro día, que me dió por buscar música de este estilo quedé muy gratamente sorprendido al descubrir lo que suena en este set, que aunque los temas estan escogidos de poquitos discos es innegable su calidad.
Es una sesión con temas oscuros, a la que le encuentro mucha fuerza, hasta una atmósfera algo industrial (me atrevería a decir) y de misterio, recordándonos en algunos momentos las lejanas raíces jamaicanas de todo el asunto.

New netaudio mix for the blog http://www.oirparacreer.com
This time with an excellent selection of dubstep!!

Notes:
1 [pin003] deflax – evil dub
2 [swg007] demonic 1 & dr.coil – bottomless pit
3 [cmbcmw029] grindbox – mind booster
4 [pin003] deflax – I no you
5 [enrcmp010] takomo – mobula
6 [qnb005] misk – brain leech
7 [electrobel] nukua – qüenucial
8 [swg002] demonic 1 – meth art
9 [swg005] toiminto – bared out
10 [enrcmp010] discreat – distanz
11 [swg005] toiminto – bandpass workshop
12 [electrobel] l’omelette – du bruit

PD: Por error me he saltado la netdj018, que será la próxima en publicarse.

Humeka – Densité Matérielle {YKYK015}

Artist: Humeka
Title: Densité Matérielle
Label: Yuki Yaki
Catalog #: YKYK015
Release Date: 2008/11/30

Humeka claims he has never been eager to re-invent music but to find his own interpretation of Techno, House, Dub and Ambient. And there is hardly a better description for his first release on Yuki Yaki.
The six tracks and the remixes clearly state his love for sharp and crispy clicks and cuts wrapped in best Electronica classicism while his bias in beats seems to lead more into dry desert landscapes of minimal house and dub techno.
An eerie sense of ambience and deepness is wobbling through the twisted house chords and shattered melodies but in spite of all these disharmonic moods you will always feel tempted to start moving your feet.
Besides the bunch of soul mates who has done the remixes apparently understood their French friend quite well.

Beak – Hard Nights {mtk207}

Artist: Beak
Title: Hard Nights
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk207
Release Date: 2008/11/29

Things have been slowing down a little at Monotonik HQ recently. We think it’s something to do with just how crowded the netlabel scene has got – with literally thousands of labels, how is anyone going to find just one?

Fortunately, we’ve got a good idea of how to do it – just release stellar tracks from awesome Monotonik stalwarts. And this method is getting kicked off via Beak’s ‘Hard Nights’, the fourth release from the awesome guitar-electronics spaz on Monotonik since his epochal 2003 debut, ‘Amoral Mayor Earwig’.

We start off with ‘Sea Pen Meets Anglerfish’, the story of a subaqua coming-together which shows off Beak’s gorgeous melodic stylings, before we segue into the super-funky ‘Limozeen’, all low vocoder yelps and staccato splats.

Of course, there’s more – particularly ‘Forlon’s Diminish’, which is evocative, far-off jams in Beak’ssignature electro-acoustic doublestep, and we end with ‘Red H’, as Beak-y as you can get, with his Squarepusher through an echo chamber beats pushed to the beautiful limit. Now, that’s a way to get your confidence back.

Ilkae – Lighter Industry EP {mtk206}

Artist: Ilkae
Title: Lighter Industry EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk206
Release Date: 2008/10/05

You may know Ilkae from previous releases on Monotonik and also on awesome, now dormant Miamibased physical label Merck. Well, four years after 2004’s beautiful Stained Glass Confetti, backing up a self-released full-length, Ilkae returns with a similar deal – an awesome EP extracting from a new album.

This time, ‘Lighter Industry’ is a companion piece to the new, limited-edition Ilkae album ‘Light Industry’, which those interested in the beautifully scattershot, chiptune-ish idm that the veteran artist deals in can check out at – http://www.inpuj.net/ilkae/ to buy the full-length.

As for this EP, it starts out with the deliciously semi-random ‘LSK’, before lapsing into the more relaxed with the fizzy ‘Magnesium’. Other highlights include ‘Espirit De Corps’, which is almost Aleksi Eebenesque in its pure indirectness, and the grin-inducingly named ‘Endless Bark’, all phasing ambient yum. Fanks, Ilkae!
