VA	Tresor 30	12X12" BOX	TRESOR	TRESOR 330LP
$230.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/15/2021 Since 1991, Tresor has provided a home for artists to germinate their ideas for advanced new sounds and broadcast them to the world. The pioneers that first traversed the Detroit-Berlin connection and were at the forefront of a new cultural movement gave to Tresor its original and continuing mission: community, resistance and reshaping the world to come. The Tresor 30 compilation represents a major landmark in this continuing history of electronic music. This unique collection of music profiles some of the artists that gave the previous three decades of Tresor its sound and foundation, but it also casts its gaze forward. Writing new postcards from the future, this collection brings new artists who maintain a connection to that original mission to the fore, charting ways in which this ethos can continue to build bridges and break walls in the next 30 years. Bringing together 52 essential tracks -- both classics and exclusive commissions -- each of the 12 records in this box-set charts a unique line of flight from those artists that helped define the shape of this new music to those who continue to pattern its landscape further. The future is bright and it's now. Limited edition boxset, 12x12" 180 gram vinyl; silver pantone + foil on ultra-black board; includes 16-page booklet, download card, and poster double-sided 90x60.

VA	Objetos Musicais: Homage To Walter Smetak	LP	BUH RECORDS	BR 146LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/27/2021 Objetos Musicais is a collection of 13 sound pieces created by artists from South America and Switzerland, who work in an intermediate zone among the craft of luthiers, visual arts and experimental music. Their works evoke the visionary ideas of Walter Smetak, a Swiss composer who lived in Salvador, Bahia (Brazil). Smetak was a pioneer of musical experimentation in that country and developed, in the '60s and '70s, a musical poetics that was captured in two seminal albums, Smetak (1974) and Interregno (1980), both of which, after being out-of-print for a long time, have been reissued today, hence the motivation for this tribute. On those two albums, Smetak combined Afro-Brazilian ritual traditions, theosophy, microtonality studies, collective improvisation and the use of unconventional musical instruments, which he called "Plasticas Sonoras". Smetak came to build around 150 acoustic instruments, many of which are true sound sculptures of great visual impact. This latter aspect is the most directly evoked one on this album -- and it so happens that the Smetakian spirit tunes in with a new community of contemporary artists, who relate to the work of the so-called "experimental luthiers", artists who build their own instruments (Marco Scarassatti, Phillipp Laeng, Maria Anália), lead them towards radical extended versions (Ruben Dhers, Claudio Merlet), develop hybrid projects involving instruments and sound sculpture (Javier Bustos, Álvaro Icaza and Verónica Luyo, Juan Pablo Egúsquiza, Edgardo Rudnitzky) or take the exploration towards the building of resonant machines (Nicole L'Huillier, O Grivo, Zimoun, Cod.Act), without these categories being mutually exclusive, but rather tending to mix, thereby opening up new sonic possibilities. This new community of artists has begun to create a whole new field of research and, in a way, a new discipline, understandable within the context of this new paradigm opened by the maker culture, which has pushed creators and developers from all over the world to conceive alternative -- anti-hegemonic and DIY -- forms of production. Therefore, this collection allows the artists to evoke Walter Smetak but also to connect his work to this new scene -- to which it precedes -- a link for this new art that makes its way at some point among the work of experimental luthiers, sound art, experimental music and the DIY ethics. Curated by Luis Alvarado and Chico Dub. Art by René Sánchez. Edition of 300.

VA	R&B Hipshakers Vol 5. Rocks In Your Head	2LP +7"	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 207LP
$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/13/2021 "... As I put the finishing touches on this fifth and final volume of the R&B Hipshakers series, I think of all the killer sides I've wholeheartedly intended to include but somehow not got around to, and they rip at my heart. Let's not even talk about the pile of unused DeLuxe sides, somehow postponed for a future that now will never be. And how about the concrete factual information about the King family of labels that I've never bothered to communicate -- because I decided to leave the detail work to others better suited to it? Facts, too few and too late: Did you know that most King and Federal singles went from conception to recording to mixing to mastering to pressing to storage to distribution -- the whole shebang -- under the roof of the company HQ at 1540 Brewster Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio? That hillbilly music constituted an equal share of the King output, and that there are country versions of many of the R&B records featured on 'Hipshakers'? . . . You may be aware of the loss of a pantheon of beloved recording artists' master tapes in a fire at Universal Studios in Los Angeles in 2008, a staggering blow to our cultural heritage that remained widely unknown until recently. Well, the fact is that even the masters that do survive are often in a sorry, baffling state. Compilers mining 'masters' often find that what's been saved are alternate mixes, alternate takes, edits. Throughout this series I've attempted to present the recordings as they appeared on released 45s. This has sometimes meant remastering from my own copies of the original records -- although in one instance on this new volume, I've opted for a previously unreleased (as far as I can tell) version of a song, Lulu Reed's 'Your Love Keeps A-Working on Me', because I like the bare-bones, no-backing-vocals recording . . . So here it is, the last batch of your 100 montaditos from the King catalog, 20 final tasty morsels to savor. These hundred 'Hipshakers' tracks barely scratch the surface (not a great expression to use in the context of records, I know!) of King and Federal's incredible output, insane as it may sound..." --Mr Fine Wine, New York City (from WFMU's Downtown Soulville) Features: Johnnie Pate, Cora Woods, Little Esther, Roy Brown & His Mighty Mighty Men, Sonny Thompson, The Tenderfoots, Roy Estrada & The Rocketeers, Albert King, The 5 Royales, Otis Williams & His Charms, Little Willie John, The Zircons, Tonni Kalash, Rosemary, The Fabulous Denos, Dolph Prince, Billy Soul, Hank Ballard & The Midnighters, Kenny Martin, Lulu Reed with Sonny Thompson & His Orchestra.

VA	The Harmonic Series Volume 2	3LP	IMPORTANT RECORDS	IMPREC 500LP
$45.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/30/2021 A collection of long-form works in just intonation by Kali Malone, Duane Pitre, Catherine Lamb, Tashi Wada, Byron Westbrook, and Caterina Barbieri. Each artist occupies an entire side of the collection's three LPs. Curated by Duane Pitre, Important Records returns with its second volume of compiled works in just intonation. The Harmonic Series Volume 2, issued as a triple-LP collection, features a series of long-form compositions by six of the most important emerging voices of contemporary experimental music. Unlike equal temperament, which equally divides an octave into 12 fixed notes, just intonation utilizes intervals of whole number ratios to determine tonal positions. It results in a highly individualized tonal language and holds the potential for more nuanced relationships and striking, sympathetic resonances. Rooted in ideas that trace their way across the last 2500 years, just intonation lays at the foundation for numerous Indian, Persian, and East Asian musical traditions. It was reintroduced into western music during the 20th century by composers like Harry Partch, Ben Johnston, Lou Harrison, James Tenney, Terry Riley, and La Monte Young. An interest in just intonation has continued to swell following the appearance of The Harmonic Series in 2009 inspiring Pitre to curate a second compilation. Kali Malone's "Pipe Inversions" -- played by Malone on a small pipe organ, joined by Isak Hedtjärn on bass clarinet -- belongs to a larger body of microtonal organ works that have increasingly placed the composer at the forefront of contemporary minimalism and drone music. Across the length of Duane Pitre's "Three for Rhodes" -- a chamber piece for "unknown instrumentation" - deconstructed rhythms and melodic fragments swell in a dance of harmonic interplay, rising and falling within the work's engrossing architectural complexity. Catherine Lamb's "inter sum" -- one of a tiny number of available works to encounter the composer and renowned violist working on synthesizer -- endeavors to break the visualization of harmony as a vertical reality, rendering it multidimensionally in space. A canon for eight-violins played by Marc Sabat, Tashi Wada's "Midheaven (Alignment Mix)" -- guided by the internal logic of its tuning system -- shape-shifts into an elegantly poetic form of musical conceptualism. Byron Westbrook's "Memory Phasings" -- composed and recorded on a combination of computer controlled modular synthesizers and a Yamaha TX802 -- employs the ratios of just intonation as harmonic building blocks for texture. Deploying just intonation as a means for psycho-physiological exploration, Caterina Barbieri's "Firmamento" -- composed for synthesizer -- deftly intervenes with the expectations of minimalism, durational music, and drone. Cut at Golden and pressed at RTI for maximum fidelity.

VA	DJ Athome Presents Spaced Out	2LP	MUSIQUE POUR LA DANSE	MPD 032LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/23/2021 Musique Pour La Danse present Spaced Out!, a compilation curated by Belgian artist and producer DJ Athome (Front de Cadeaux) which focuses on psychedelic dub, space rock, and early electronica created in the UK's festival scene between 1986 and 1996, the result of a life-long passion and 30 years of following artists from the festival scene. It was a loosely organized British musical movement born in the early '80s and focused on free festivals in Stonehenge and other countercultural sites across the country. It represented a continuation of the psychedelic spirit of the '60s, with altered states of consciousness, dub production techniques, non-Western influences as well as instruments featuring heavily, along with a desire to side-step mainstream venues, labels, and attitudes. Musically, it took on many forms, from mind-expanding space rock to third eye-opening electronica to shattering psychedelic dub. Visually, the zines, cassettes, LPs, and CDs created by this scene also displayed heavy influences from 60's psychedelia, updated for the late 80s and early '90s. In the '90s, the zines and cassettes reached the eyes and ears of DJ Athome, then a young DJ living in Liège. After meeting a group of like-minded individuals organizing local gigs which was single-handedly responsible for putting Liège on the map for many British bands, he dived headfirst into the sights and the sounds of this festival scene, gathering as many albums as possible and joining local collectives involved in the organization of events. This compilation is in equal amounts an introduction for newcomers and a confirmation for those who already know that this was without a doubt one of the trippiest and most compelling psychedelic musical movements of the last decades, notable for its hybridity, its sincerity, and above all its wonderfully life-changing effects for listeners and performers alike. Includes printed liner which features a foreword by acclaimed philosopher Timothy Morton, along with liner notes by David Borsu, and illustrations by designer Andrew Beltran. Features Eat Static, Magic Mushroom Band, The Ullulators, Ozric Tentacles, Revolutionary Dub Warriors, Junkwaffel, Divine Soma Experience, and Extremadura.

VA	Jeff Ozdemir & Friends Vol. 3	CD	KARAOKE KALK	KK 120CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/16/2021 In the past years, the multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer and music enthusiast Jeff Özdemir had been focusing on organizing the Live-Mixtape series in Berlin, inviting numerous artists to join him on stage for every single event. However, the year 2020 put an end to this. Undeterred, he instead put together the third instalment of the Jeff Özdemir & Friends series, working with singers, musicians and groups such as Knarf Rellöm & DJ Patex, F.S.Blumm, Joanna Gemma Auguri, Elke Brauweiler, and Elmer Kussiac for an 18-track album. Like its two predecessors from the years 2015 and 2017, respectively, Jeff Özdemir & Friends Vol. 3 sees the man behind Kreuzberg's 33rpm record store showcase his qualities as a people remixer, songwriter and versatile musician. He put together a collection of groovy tunes picking up on funk and Afrobeat rhythms, introspective ballads, a musically channeled punk attitude, shoegaze sentiments, spoken word passages, drones, glockenspiel sounds, seriously fun experimentation and much more. While artists like Ertan Doğancı, Désolé Léo, eng°n, F.S.Blumm and Zap have been long-term collaborators of Özdemir and were featured on previous instalments of the series, new faces and forces also enter the mix. The melancholic "Love Letters" for example marks the first (though hopefully not last) collaboration with singer Joanna Gemm Auguri, while Knarf Rellöm & DJ Patex's appearance has been dreamt of collectively but hasn't been fully realized until now. Whether it's Désolé Léo's French crooner soul, the lo-fi synth pop song "Bored" featuring former Commercial Breakup singer Elke Brauweiler or the many different sounds and styles presented under the name Jeff Özdemir: no decision is ever made between either that or this musical direction, but all are being joyfully enjoyed together. Thus, throughout its 70 minutes, the stylistic diversity of Jeff Özdemir & Friends Vol. 3 does not once border on randomness. Instead, these sometimes very different songs are marked by a shared atmosphere -- a direct result of these very different musicians approaching their studio time together less as a chance to make music but more of a chance to carefully listen to and interact with each other. The contributions by Vackrow, Gebrüder Teichmann's old band Beige GT, and Otto von Bismarck, do not even feature Özdemir, but are simply musical pearls that were (almost) lost in the shuffle of music history and unearthed for this very special occasion. Also features Daniel Raymond Gahn, Alexandre Thiercelin, Jeff Özdemir's New Hard Drive, and Treetop.

VA	Rockin' With The Krauts: Real Rock 'n' Roll Made In Germany Vol. 2	CD	BEAR FAMILY RECORDS	BCD 17642CD
$18.00 IN STOCK "Second and final installment in the Rockin' With The Krauts mini-series on Bear Family. 32 tracks from 1956-1967. German Rock 'n' Roll in its pure form, including twist rockers, Madison rockers, jivers, beat rockers and Rock & Roll instrumentals. -The second part is about such exotics as Wolfgang Sauer with his great version of 'For You My Love', Ted Hiller's version of 'Memphis, Tennessee', which really slams, and ... German dancing queen Marika Rökk, who delivers a rocker you would never have expected her to do! Great cover versions and interpretations of U.S. originals such as 'Caldonia', 'Nag', 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On', 'Devil In Disguise' and 'Runaway'. Besides rather unknown musicians like John Dattelbaum, Lutz Dietmar, Little Gerhard, Emanuel & Leon Ardy's Hit-Cockers, Jack Finey & The Pralins, there are fine rockers from popular stars like Bill Ramsey, Rex Gildo, Billy Mo, Ralf Bendix, Werner Müller and even Marika Rökk, which you would never have expected from these performers! Part 2 also highlights the swinging side of the '50s -- three titles with definite right to be included! Many original singles are sought after, hard to find and often very expensive! Six tracks officially on CD for the first time! Notes by Roland Heinrich. Please, note: German language liner notes! The Krauts Are Rockin' -- how come they had let them continue, even? 'Hail, Hail Rock' n' Roll - Deliver Me from the Days of Old,' Chuck Berry had cried out to the skies, and he really struck a chord with numberless kids in reactionary postwar Germany. While the church, law enforcement, and the politically backward tried to end this hedonistic and hellish hullabaloo with nasty tricks and by brute force, a distinct krautsy variant of rock & roll developed, nevertheless. Musicians and composers alike were especially fond of the twist, mostly ignoring other US dance fads. Thank goodness, German ditty mongers might have come up with a 'Wattenscheid Watusi'."
