Modern Malaise

RWD-FWD: ...Reaching level 10 on the barometer of sleaze, sweat & hardcore rhythm, this record recalls the undeniably frustrated, yet care-free anti-establishment energy of the likes of Nitzer Ebb, Spectre, The Mover, Egyptian Lover, DJ Rashad & Techno Animal, while sounding fresh and loaded with the trademark intensity of Anna Funk Damage's unhinged, raw & free-styling production technique.The A side of the disc grinds into gear in slapdash EBM & Industrial styles with 'Badass Bitch' and 'Bloodydeath'. Flip it to the B side for extra doses of speed injected straight into the vein, with the f*cked up trance cut 'Elm Street Faster Edition' and the mangled footwork vs bassbin techno rhythm 'This Is Why I'm Hot', finishing this burner of a record with a relentless staccato of kicks, hi hats and trash-can snares, with the underlying blue chords hinting at a chance of solace amongst the flames.

Premier Sang: ...This is second full-length release on wax by Sick Llama, after "Born Again To Die" on Hanson Records in 2007...Heath Moerland uses tapes, organ, synth, clarinet, and whatever else is laying around to balance a fine line between composition and improvisation. Musique concrete, process theory, modal jazz, drone, punk aesthetics and free approach to music. The first recordings were released in 2003 sparking off hundreds of releases and hundreds of performances throughout Europe, USA, Mexico and Canada. Sick Llama also runs the music/art label Fag Tapes which has issued over 375 releases.

Karlrecords: ...The new album by the Peruvian-born / Berlin-based experimental artist Ale Hop was conceived in a context of immobility and provides six sonic vignettes that wonder about location, circularity, rootedness and experience. In collaboration with Ana Quiroga, Concepcion Huerta, Daniela Huerta, Elsa M’balla, Felicity Magan, Fil Uno, Ignacio Briceño, KMRU, Manongo Mujica, Moises Horta, Nicole L’Huillier, Raul Jardín, Sukitoa Onamau, Tomas Tello.
