Scheduled for release on February 3rd, 2k17 as cat.no. 037 of the Rvng Intl-label is "Reassemblage", the latest album effort crafted by the electronic duo Visible Cloaks, comprised of Spencer Doran and Ryan Carlile. Together, the pair of artists is taking us into a digital dream world with the calm, ambient'ish, yet exotic opener "Screen" which evokes memories of how computer music was imagined to sound like in the flashy neon-glare of the 80s whilst "Valve" plays along the syllables of Miyako Koda's vocal performance with a slightly exotic touch, "Bloodstream" offers more psychedelic, dream-like Ambient and "Terrazzo", a collaborational effort with Motion Graphics, has been featured on these pages in late December for a reason. Furthermore we see "Wintergreen" broaden the stylistic palette with some cosmic sound drips and tender electronic harps, the "Circle" introduces some free improvisation amalgamating both Asian, (neo)classical and jazzy influences with ethereal non-vocalisms, "Mask" fuses a playful gamelan motif with soft, partly warped and therefore slightly off-kilter pads and subtle vocoder from another dimension and "Mimesis" introduces various layers of playful, intertwined, crystalline synths before "Skycraper", a 37 second skit, goes into a more ceremonial vibe. Following up is "Neumse", a tune featuring Matt Carlson, which evokes, for some strange reason, memories of Ayshay's legendary "Warn-U" anthem and the final cut "Place" brings in undisturbed peace and musical harmony, making way for a quadruple pack of bonus tracks for all those purchasing the CD or digital version of this album which provides an interesting alternative vision of ChillOut music.

A new year and of course we're in to review a new album from the ever active underground producer Sascha Müller who comes up with cat.no. 049 of his own label Supersix Records Extra here. Opening the selection of 12 tracks we come across "Ätherwellen", a pumping TechHouse / HardHouse effort for all those in love with dope grooves and hypersexed minimalism, "Black Out" serves threatening ElectroTechno partly reminiscent of early 00s productions by Heckmann, The Hacker, Beroshima and the likes of whilst introducing a sweet, melodic Acid line for fans of AcidTrance before "Black" takes busy floors deep into atmospheric TechTrance spheres, floating along dubbed out pads for 353 seconds. The name of "Bongo Bongo" is pretty much self-explanatory, fusing dark, hollow Techno grooves and loads of bongo percussion layers, "Break Your Mind" is about to do exactly this, focusing on a mixture of HardTechno and uberly compressed drums on the border to Hardcore, accompanied by razor sharp hihats and a recycled melody we've surely heard in another of Sascha Müller's productions before whilst "Carnague" serves a menu of warped, electronic distortions and other non-structural experimentalisms and "Cocaine *Straight From Bogota Mix" brings proper Techno, smacking snares and repetetive sawtooth synths for a maximum dancefloor boost in peaktime sets. Announcing the "Death Of Disco" through highly defined production, 808 drums and loads of twisted bleeps the artist weighs in Minimal Techno in its original, fast paced form, "Der Tag" recycles one of the biggest anthems once produced by the long forgotten German supergroup Bodenständig 2000 to a great, HardHouse-reminiscing effect, "Desparado" serves tool'ish, functional 140+bpm Techno with a 'no mercy' attitude and "Digital Audio" is as clean and stripped down as a classic Techno track can be. Finally the "Electronic Foundation" is built of super solid, hypnotizing Acid / AcidTrance to infuse ever climaxing madness into every punters veins for a reason. Great selection, this.

Dr. NoiseM is back on track with the 19th sequel of his "Studio Works" series, bringing us a new take of his vision of experimental electronic music on this album which includes 13 previously unreleased tracks from his jam-packed studio archive. Starting into the album with "NcodED" we see fluttering digital feedbacks and buzzing high frequencies penetrating our eardrums whilst the mysterious "Runenwald" takes us to the more mystical, enchanted side of the DarkAmbient genre and the following "Brutal Fight Ritual" is getting brutal indeed, fusing Rhythm Industrial and hard hitting HarshNoize in less than three minutes time. The awards for the albums most ridiculously named tune goes to "The 808 Penis Errection" which picks up on the feel of its predecessor, adds some pace and wild, erupting percussions for overly agitated dancefloor workouts, the cryptically named "-($$)-" goes even further in terms of attacking digital Noize brutalism and "Be My Lovely Noise Valentine" weighs in spherical modulations to a pretty much calming effect. Within the 15+ minutes of "Cosmic Elevation" we're experiencing angelic atmospheres and respiration sounds like the ones we've heard more than once in Dr. NoiseM's ongoing "The CDr A-B-C" series throughout the past years - not always leading to a soft, calm and all embracing feel of coziness like in this specific track. Furthermore "DA DA" breaks the peace with another multilayered, storming Noize attack, the "Dead Horse" rides through more brutal and subfrequent attacks which can be seen as a further variation on the tunes' precursor, only to find an icy storm of White Noize blasting "Deep In Space". Going into the subaquatic territories of the "Deep Sea" we're receiving enigmatic Ambient transmissions from a source unknown whilst "Fact" comes at us with the violent force of an unstoppable, all destroying volcanic eruption and the concluding "Hexxxer" serves a approx. ten minutes tour de force into a slowly moving maelstrom found in magma reservoirs deep underneath the earths surface where all brutal sounds oscillate and interfere to create nothing but distorted beauty and abstract tonal harmonies.

Coming in from the ever active Psychocandies camp is their third label compilation which brings us a bunch of ten exclusive tunes produced by a range of artists closely related to the label and its roster. Opening is RU DEAD 42 with the tune "Trance Inductor", an indeed well-floating and Trance inducing ride for all those preferring the ProtoTrance of 1993 and early 1994 to what followed in the years to come, label owner Sascha Müller brings us "Acid Pornz_3", hard, fast-paced, distorted madness and braincell spanking included, and Manfred Reckers a.k.a. eVADE comes up with "raigN", a tune raw, playful and uplifting and - most importantly - dabbling with more 8-bit induced oldskool Electro / Electronica than with the straight 4/4 the label is dedicated to when it comes to most of the music released on there. Hitting a "Secoend Base" we see Acidfloor getting his banging, highly compressed drums and nerve wrecking, short looped MonoAcid modulations out to please buzzing dancefloors, Sascha Müller and Duality Micro team up for "Shove Shove Shove", exploring realms of swampy Lo-Fi Electronica and gooey, sluggish Acid lines providing a feel of a life lived in monochromatic greyscale patterns whilst 4ZZZ1's effort entitled "Untitled 6" is a fascinating variation of hard banging BrokenTechno with a distorted, electroid twist. DiZE7 is on remix duties for Sascha Müller's "Tear Down This Motherfukkin Bitch" and creates a raw piece of ElectroTechno, "The Other Side" by Hexagon Industries evolves into a dry and spiralling variation of minimalistic HypnoAcid accompanied by Electro snares and spooky background sequences for an extra portion of dancefloor horror, Sascha Müller's "Brazil Acid Cash 3" provides loads of energy and screaming Acid lines for high octane dancefloors before DiZE7 concludes this album with "Acid Scheme 3", another psyched out tune for the darkest hours of the night.
