Pounding
Unequal cycles searching for synchronous experiences: On his new album »Pounding«, Frank Bretschneider tells of distance, convergence and congruence in a continuous, ever-changing flow of events. What is often considered to be an unquestionable dogma in club music (for which Bretschneider has provided significant impetus since the 1990s) – the groove – appears precarious, unstable, and in motion. Pulse and accent are volatile encounters and have to be found again and again for short, delightful …
Rock Rendez Vous: Música Moderna Portuguesa 1985-1986
The seductive sounds of Portugal swing to Dark Entries on Rock Rendez Vous: Música Moderna Portuguesa 1985-1986, a compilation of vintage Iberian synth, wave, and postpunk gems. The legendary club Rock Rendez Vous (RRV) opened its doors in Lisbon in 1980, heralding a new era in the Portuguese underground. Although touring acts like Killing Joke, Danse Society, or Echo & the Bunnymen graced its stage, RRV more vitally served as ground zero for a new generation of Portuguese bands, one simultaneou…
Cinema du Look
Tip! *'Dijon Mustard' coloured vinyl, limited edition LP * Femme Fatales with big guns, coolly efficient assassins, highly sexed and impossibly beautiful kleptomaniacs, Paris Métro signs, wet cobbled streets – and neon, always lots of neon; the visual aesthetics of the Cinéma Du Look movement of the early 1980s to early 1990s were as important as the characters in the films themselves.Identified by Revue du Cinéma critic Raphaël Bassan in its May 1989 issue, ‘Cinéma Du Look’ principally revolved…

Cirque
Huge Tip! The Circus is a place of lights and colors, but also of shadows, even darkness. Admittedly, it delights children and makes adults laugh. But you only need one rainy autumn evening near a circus tent and the smell of fodder to think of the sadness of the clowns, the endless training of the animals and the freaks who are hidden in some caravan... cinema, the essence of the circus – movement, light, danger and burlesque – will have been admirably rendered in Notes on the circus by Jonas M…

Return To Acapulco - Music For Hotels (Vol. 1)
The story of a family of hoteliers active since the 1960s on the Versilia Riviera, the renowned Tuscan seaside area, becomes the occasion for the compilation by the music critic and cultural agitator Vittore Baroni of an anthology of "Music for Hotels", a theme curiously ignored by international discography. A large group of musicians active in a variety of genres and styles have been asked to create a soundtrack for the different zones of the Hotel Acapulco in Forte dei Marmi - portrayed in the…

Hednod Sessions 5-10
Mick Harris has been an epitome of extremes: either as a drummer or as a sound sculptor and explorer of crushing beats, heavy bass or darkest soundscapes. Through the last 30 years, Harris has been an utterly prolific electronic artist, but known mostly for his famous project Scorn. At the beginning of the century Harris started one of his longest-standing projects, HedNod. Alongside Scorn, HedNod turned out to be his most fruitful project, which in the meantime made up of as many as twenty vol…
Walks
Opt for the path less trodden — allow yourself to stray from it, even — and you might find, buried in the bracken, deep in the trees, a shining modernist monolith. Liquid as a mirror, glinting in the leaf-broken sun, it lies in wait off the beaten tracks of North Yorkshire, South Wales, or the A508 out of Milton Keynes. Or perhaps it is all of these places simultaneously and none of them: an amalgam of the wayside walks of the British Isles, accessed only by the maps of the mind. Heeding the cal…
