Press Info:
As a DJ, Producer and independent promoter, Danny Isola launched his platform for full autonomy of his output and to further progress along the artistic path that he has been crafting over the past decade. The Isolatracks label focuses on pushing the boundaries of organic layering between textural sounds, forged over grounded track constructions. ”Isola”, meaning “Island” in Italian, hints at the inspiration taken from nature in order to finely weave tracks with organic integrity. For now Isolatracks’ focus lies with its founder and curator, following a vision of creating rhythmic pulsing sonic forms, balancing momentum and finesse.

Press Info:
German electronic originator Gudrun Gut’s latest solo collection distills a lifetime of persuasions and obsessions into a compelling 14-track statement: “Moment.” Stark, somber, sultry, and clever, the sides slide between ballad and lament, synth-pop and spoken word, anthemic and abstract.

Gut’s background as a key figure in Berlin’s first-wave industrial uprising still casts an aura in the music’s mechanized rhythms and frozen emotional palette but decades of improvisation and collaboration have deepened her sense of composition and melody beyond any easy genre categorization.

If anything “Moment” finds Gut’s muse at its most enigmatic, threading shades of motorik hypnosis, technoid laboratory, coldwave pop, glitchy gauze, and even a gender-bent Bowie cover (“Boys Keep Swinging”) into its eclectic web. It also showcases the depth and detail of her voice, reserved but suggestive, intoning blunt truths and opaque poetry in both German and English.

This is music of history and heartache, modernity and desire, alienation and expression, by a singular creative committed to the complexities of sound. – Britt Brown

Gudrun Gut’s story spans many years, scenes, and sounds, from the “ingenious dilettantes” subculture of early 1980’s Berlin as part of Mania D, Einstürzende Neubauten, and Malaria! to her twilit industrial pop trio Matador into an expansive solo catalog of later work scoring films, videos, and radio plays. Her talents extend beyond musician, however, to include founding record labels (the influential imprints Moabit Musik and Monika Enterprise), club nights (progressive electronic pop collective Oceanclub), and experimental feminist collaborations (Monika Werkstatt).

Gut also works extensively in the technical sector of the recording industry, as a producer. Recent projects have included collaborations with Antye Greie (AGF) and Hans-Joachim Irmler of Faust, participating on the advisory committee for Musicboard Berlin, and performing at The Royal Albert Hall with Âme as part of an Innervisions label night.

Met Her At The Herrensauna
(IBON’s Club Mix)

 

Press Info:
For our fourth instalment, Interstate welcomes Copenhagen’s Schacke. Rooted in punk and noise, the Danish artist grew into becoming one of the key figures of Copenhagen’s scene and inner part of Courtesy’s Ecotherm and newly found Kulør imprint.

On INS004, Schacke delivers three originals, exploring musical spheres that are both brutal and graceful. The opener “Cold Hands” kicks things off on a dark yet atmospheric note with driving percussions that make your body shake. “It Was All A Dream” is built around an irresistible synth line that is accompanied by angelic noises and winds. While this track blooms in its flow and drive, the short break shows what an exceptionally gifted producer Schacke is.

The flip-side features the title track “Met Her At The Herrensauna” which is the record’s most euphoric. Dazzling leads, shimmering synths and a somewhat otherworldy yowling loop drive this track which has all potential to create the special dancefloor moment one won’t forget. At last, IBON, another Copenhagen talent, delivers his take on “Met Her At The Herrensauna” by giving the original an even more clubby and trancy touch. The two combined make this 130bpm and upwards Copenhagen take-over complete!

(Cassegrain Remix)

Digital Bonus.
Shifting Zone

 

Press Info:
Form and Function presents the second outing in their FORM series. A series that focusses on the more deep and transcendent side of the techno spectrum.

Movement I contains 3 original tracks and one remix starring freshman Atis and pretty well-known duo Cassegrain.

Movement I starts with “Ismene”, a slow but progressive and dubby techno piece that is filled with deep northern and tribal influences. The variety of different sounds fill up the eerie landscape, assisted by a range of subtle percussive elements.

Entheogen goes a notch faster in tempo without compromising on atmosphere. It’s a tearjerker of a track that with an emphasizing sub-bass that flawlessly grows into a bleepy sonic adventure.

On the B-side, we get 2 pieces that are in stark contrast with the A-side. “Samael” lifts off with a lot of pulsing energy, transferring into a deep sound that sets the mood for the complete track. The reverberating pads and percussion really drive the track forward thanks to some intelligent panning and programming.

As a final piece there’s the Cassegrain remix of Samael. Unfalsified power techno that keeps hinting to the deep sounds of the original track, poured into a body of perfect harmonics and playing the mind with rhythmic repetition.

The digital bonus “Shifting Zone” is an dubby drum & bass track that uses reverbs and delays as the central point to mark the end of a hypnotic release, backed by ingenious percussion.
