Machinefabriek – Stuip/Staar {[one031]}

Artist: Machinefabriek
Title: Stuip/Staar
Label: One
Catalog #: [one031]
Release Date: 2007/07/17

Machinefabriek’s Stuip and Staar are two minimal drone performances captured at the Cross Street Chapel, Manchester (UK) and the Toneelschuurm, Haarlem (NL). Running just under an hour his processed guitar textures rise and fall, stretching their substance through etheral minimalism, slowly evolving epic heights, and moments of sublime symphony.

Rutger Zuyderveit’s work has gained much attention over the past few years through performance, his self-titled imprint, and releases at labels such as Type and Lampse. We’re pleased to have him join our ranks and carry forward the ambient series of One releases previously visited by past alumns such as Loscil, Makunouchi Bento, Kaneel, and Kwook.

Relative Q – Small Craft Exercise Caution {[one030]}

Artist: Relative Q
Title: Small Craft Exercise Caution
Label: One
Catalog #: [one030]
Release Date: 2007/06/08

Just over three years ago, Relative Q (Paul Zyla) was the first solo artist at One, so it is very befitting for us to present his latest work as our milestone 30th release. We have been sitting on this release for quite some time now and are excited to finally bring it to fruition.

Composed during the majority of 2006, ‘Small Craft Exercise Caution’ is a heady, personal affair with moods seeming to play with optimisim and inspiration through, well, troubled waters. Paul has crafted a wide and lush sound combining the worlds of smokey lounge, electronica and etheral shoegaze with lively instrumentation, rhythmic interplay, driving synths, and a certain melodic finesse.

Tracklist:
01 – pittsburgh winters have killed better men than i
02 – sun rises over the underserved
03 – fairer shores
04 – the ghosts came quickly
05 – no sympathy
06 – farewells and goodbyes
07 – man your battle stations

Karl-Johan Nilsson – The Seams {[one029]}

Artist: Karl-Johan Nilsson
Title: The Seams
Label: One
Catalog #: [one029]
Release Date: 2007/04/05

Breaking a six-month silence for us is Karl–Johan Nilsson’s The Seams. A work featuring wide, sweeping strokes from minimal brushes that add up to a thick canvas of sound – electrical static scratches and crawls, rolling waves of rhythm, bass, guitar, synths and ambiance come from all sides. Sounds seemingly trying to escape while a song progresses or takes form.

The Seams’ end results are not entirely focused on the minimalist focus or common click-gut-glitch manners, but rather a sublime and epic manner full of moody curiousities, melody and melodrama built from the intricacies these styles bring and their combinations to a larger scale. Accompanied by hi-res cd artwork and a gallery by Adrian Leverkuhn.

Emil Klotzsch – Feinquisit {[one028]}

Artist: Emil Klotzsch
Title: Feinquisit
Label: One
Catalog #: [one028]
Release Date: 2006/10/28

Emil marks his return to One with more of the material in which we first got to know him – a spazzy blend of experimentation, disjointed rhythms and instrumentation. His playful but melanchoic spirit brings half-smiles to its listeners through an equally schizophrenic approach to mood and style as perhaps displayed best with his return to vocals on ‘geteiltes sein’.

Feinquisit (while offering glimpses of what will and what was to come on Sandkorn) manages to follow roads we haven’t witnessed from him before – occassionally stripping down to the roots of his off-kilter rhythms and synthwork. In form true to Mr. Klotzsch we also find him collaborating again. This time through the lyrics of Dirk Becker and an accompanying gallery by his father, Manfred Klotzsch.

Plosive – One Remixes {[one027]}

Artist: Plosive
Title: One Remixes
Label: One
Catalog #: [one027]
Release Date: 2006/06/19

Collaboration has always been an important factor here at One – whether it’s through music, technology or artwork. In this spirit the return of Plosive brings us a showcase of covers, mixes and overhauls of many favorite releases from the past couple of years – including reworkings of Bad Loop, Jack Haberfield, Iua, Emil Klotzsch, Paranerd, Partikel and Recue.

With much of the source material in hand, they have been made his own through complete reinterpretation – lending to their individuality and personal touch in mood and style. Too often these days original works are masqueraded and passed off as mixes – here the art of the remix is key and in usual Plosive form the sounds are heavily rhythmic and melodic – focused through an alchemy of Dub, IDM, Techno and more.

Tracklist:
01 – recue – himanka (plosive mix)
02 – bad loop – nio (plosive dub)
03 – emil klotzsch – fanfarel (plosive mix)
04 – iua – epilepsy (plosive mix)
05 – paranerd – caught your tumble (plosive mix)
06 – partikel – likgiltligheten (inte likgiltig längre mix by plosive)
07 – jack haberfield – juniper trees (plosive mix)

Recue – Between Stations {[one026]}

Artist: Recue
Title: Between Stations
Label: One
Catalog #: [one026]
Release Date: 2006/04/25

Between Stations is the long anticipated debut EP from Recue (Riku Annala). Already known by some through his live performances with Bad Loop and here at One with his recent remix for If:Then:Goto, the interest in a solo release has been building up for awhile. We’re the lucky ones who bring it to you.

Heavy and equal elements of ambient, dub, idm, and techno are present in Recue’s sound. Rhythms trip around and over strong melodies that together carry a persistent groove along currents of bass and ragged arpeggios. Sublime and sombre introspective moments are here as well – such as the drowned bass of ‘Silversands’, the melodic ambience of ‘Between Stations’, and the enamoring guest-vocals of Jobie on the lush ‘Come away with me’.

iua – eee ooo ahh {[one025]}

Artist: iua
Title: eee ooo ahh
Label: One
Catalog #: [one025]
Release Date: 2006/03/12

IUA brings a softer side to crispy, creeky, abrasive electronic music through the bright and hazey baths of noise and percussion that deliever his distinct vocals and melodies. A graceful slow motion momentum reiterated by smooth rhythms, airy instrumentation, scattered piano, guitar, and moments of breezy noise pop.

The title – derived from the 3 common sounds of speech spanning all languages – perhaps lends itself to Mike Shusta’s vocals which are not in all instances phonetically cohesive or clear, yet leaving no question of or distraction from their emotive slant and importance.

‘Over the Archway Remixes’ accompanies this release – a collection of remixes featuring Aghost, Khonnor, Octopus Inc., Proswell, and Wankersunited – which can be found here.

IUA – Over the Archway (remixes) {[one024]}

Artist: IUA
Title: Over the Archway (remixes)
Label: One
Catalog #: [one024]
Release Date: 2006/03/12

When the idea first came up to do a series of remixes for IUA’s release ‘eee ooo ahh’ we first suspected we would turn to the family-like list of One musicians, but it turned out Mike was eager to recruit the remixers himself so we let him have at it. Not only are the results pleasing but they were in such numbers that it was decided to do a seperate release. Which is what you have here.

This collection of remixes for IUA’s ‘over the archway’ features talent familiar to many. Some (Proswell, Octopus Inc, Aghost) are contributors to the label Kracfive (a favorite of ours)- who Mike himself has battled in the past by participating in the ever on-going Iron Chef of Music. The others, Khonnor and Wankersunited, are no strangers either – particularly with the former’s well recieved release at Type Records.

Loscil – Stases (drones 2001 – 2005) {[one023]}

Artist: Loscil
Title: Stases (drones 2001 – 2005)
Label: One
Catalog #: [one023]
Release Date: 2006/01/07

Revealing the somber underpinnings of his Loscil recordings, Scott Morgan has given us Stases – A collection of drones based upon the backgrounds of his work for Kranky Records, from 2001 to now.

As with his previous output, Stases follows theme and concept with further reference and meaning given through the title’s definition: “..a condition of balance among various forces; motionlessness”. Textured, aqueous, warm and pleasingly rich in (often bright) tonality giving us a deeper focus and alternate view into the corners of Morgan’s music. Seemingly so surrounding, submersive, and natural – that it becomes easy to forget the complex overtones and flowing mixtures involved in the creation of them.

If:Then:Goto – Another Syntax Error {[one022]}

Artist: If:Then:Goto
Title: Another Syntax Error
Label: One
Catalog #: [one022]
Release Date: 2005/11/18

‘Another Syntax Error’ qualifies simply as good song writing. Nothing tech, nothing too fancy – just good production, soulful vocals, inspiration, and catchy choruses. A mixture of brit-indie, guitar, and electronic music taken down his own path.

Finding Paul Benham’s music was like stumbling across a favorite band I had somehow missed. Then I found out it was only one person, an avid songwriter with a prolific output that would be admired by many musicians.

To top it off and spin things up, ‘ASE’ is closed out with 3 remixes from favorite One artists – including Emil Klotzsch, Bad Loop and Recue.

The artwork for this release is presented with the DIY intent to leave some of the actual process and final design to you. With rough guidelines for cutouts (recommended to be printed on light card stock) and printable stickers.

There are a few images included in the download to help give you an idea of where to start. Enjoy yourself, be creative, have fun. You can’t go wrong.
