“As you get older you realize that ‘finding a voice’, or ‘developing a creative language’ is not only a very difficult task, but also one of the most boring goals a human being can aim for. A bit like wanting to become better at patience. I can only hope these tracks reflect this recent rumination.” – Federico Urdaneta.
Track one is a whooshing piece of dirty electro that kicked off Mr. Raab’s 2007 performance in Grenoble, France. The second track was recorded in 1995 for the bathroom of a sauna in Prague.
Two new American techno tracks: the first is dedicated to a melancholy night in Las Vegas. And the second was inspired by heavy industry down in the Louisiana bayou, just past Happy Jack and Port Sulphur (see more here).
The Detroit Detroit mp3 set includes six new songs that Candy created for the dance floor. Chock full of milky basslines and catchy counterparts, the tracks range from synthpop to booty bass to disco house to minimal techno. She performed them at the Minimal/Maximal Festival in Grenoble, France and the Destroy All Cars event in NYC. Named after various Detroit locations, the songs also pay homage to the city of automobiles, vacant buildings, and good techno.

This mix is dedicated to a certain person who I think ought to get back to making records. It’s a straightforward affair that stitches together my favorite tracks of the summer.
“New York’s Red Antenna is one of the few North American labels to tap in to the Tuetonic strain of minimal Techno. Still, despite the crystaline ring of project alias Karl Zeiss – the duo of brothers Tee and Dan – Currency views the world through a lens that’s been irreparably gunked up, and Zeiss’s sound draws as much from the dirty urban grind of downtown New York as it does the clockwork mechanics of Berlin.’Guilder’ sets up a chirpy, faux-naif arpeggio in opposition to a woodblock strut. “Markka”, with a huge, flanged bassline, beats out of a sluggish electro patter flecked with backwards hi-hats and ghostly little whippoorwill cries. ‘Drachma’ is a rumbling, almost Trance-oriented shredder, with open hi-hats wheeling like knife toothed blades, and ‘Lira’ rounds out the coin-op quartet with a clunky, grimy lo-fi House chug.”
- Philip Sherburne. The Wire, 2004
“From the hipshakin’ “Letterpress Express”, like a Russ Meyer soundtrack, to the all-in assault of “Bravo Futura”, as always the artwork is incredibly well packaged” – Syntax
“Bubbling stripped down acidic electro with swelling basslines and dark pop moods.” – Sonic Groove
Specializing in decomposed layers of filtered guitar loops and bright synthetics, the Stephen Baker and Nick Brackney have put out several acclaimed records since 1995 on Kranky, Darla, and Motorway. Combining warmly affected guitars with the live drumming of former Füxa member Eric Morrison, Anemone offers a striking, unexpected, and altogether unique 7-track system of radiant electro-acoustics. 500 copies in die-cut kraftboard sleeves.
“Entering from across the Atlantic, you can see the Krautrock feel of Can, the mechanical loops, two hundred years of industry lost in a whimpering daze. From over the Pacific, liquid ambient meditations unknown, welcome organic intrusions into an everyday world of invasive aural clutter.”
— Detroit Metro Times
