CBS.nu - The Cybernetic Broadcasting System is a place full of amazing people and music. It was there that I found this freaky and stunning New Wave mix by John Diaz (myspace). No track-listing. It’s 1h19m of 80s cheese-tronic synth music. Nothing particularly interesting about that in itself usually. The difference is that this [...]
Sound as a concept/philosophy is something Raster-Noton has promoted since the label’s birth in 1999. Byetone a german named Olaf Bender, also one of the co-founders of Raster-Noton released a quite massive twelve back in february. So it’s time to take a small step back again and contemplate missed gems. The release I’m talking about [...]
Unknown to me, English electric not quite properly introduce themselves with a stunning EP on Mighty Robot. My problem is that I still have no idea who they/he/she/it are/is. For those who want a textual description of the sound on the Auto beam EP, here goes: Take the epic Vangelis (don’t worry) Blade Runner soundtrack, [...]
Finally our beloved Mr Garnier releases something for us to groove to again. Back to my roots is two tracks of feverishly drumming techno. Something for both the house and techno heads to shuffle their feet to a warm summer night. The title track is something psychadelic, something almost hippy-esque in its wild swaggering, tingling [...]
One of my favorite things to do when it’s sunny is to hang out in some nice park, boombox ready and blastin’, a cold beer in the hand. Just hanging out with good mates. At times like this I usually opt not to play techno. The lounging needs a proper fitting soundtrack and electronic downtempo [...]
Okay, new mix from myself. I won’t lie, it was a while since i did this so the oucome is not technically very impressive. I am however very happy with how the tunes were laid out and the weirdness to the mix. Starting out blasphemy-style right away by fucking with Technicolor together with some crazy [...]
It’s extremely hard to catch all the good releases being poured out by all the various electronic music producers around the globe. New labels and artists are popping up all the time, always new stuff to discover. Grindvik’s Score For Direction was released in february this year and I haven’t heard it until now. The [...]
Man with a thousand pseudonyms, Cari Lekebusch drops a new twelve on Harthouse. This time under his Braincell alias, and the release is dubbed Absorb. No one should be unaware of Lekebusch and his extensive background in electronic music producing. He’s been at it a long time and still his stuff makes a splash. What [...]
What can I say? I’m a fan of the artist behind the red mask. Redshape’s latest release is called Plonk. It comes on a blue translucent vinyl courtesy of Present. I’m liking the dub version a bit more than its original. We are treated more than seven minutes of pure Redshapeian techno prowess here, people. [...]
The duo of Drew Daniel and Martin Schmidt, better known as Matmos returns with another full length cd. Harmless electronic pop sounds are emitted a plenty on this one as the cover art so well depict. Supreme Balloon consists of mostly happy and uplifting, well constructed little analogue songs. Polychords is a perfect example of [...]
Seldom felt continues to stay unidentified. Good I say! This, or these, producer(s) set the bar way up high with the first outing, now upon us again with more raw sketches of pure techno essence.
Ilar (myspace ) has been featured on RC numerous times before. His music always leaves an impression on me, wether it’s his rough and jagged techno or the more contemplative and relaxed vibes. Curious to see who’s behind these ever-changing sound constructions, I decided to ask some (quick) questions. With the freshly released (today [...]
Local gothenburg electronic music aficionado, DJ and producer, Jor-el has cooked up a little something for us all to enjoy this month. His April Mood mix is a little over one hour and contains immersive rhythms, wide soundscapes and fine mixing.
I have been extremely inactive here at Random Circuits for a bit now. Some of it has to do with me being busy with other things (school, work, friends, girlfriend), some of it has to do with me losing a bit of enthusiasm about the whole blogging thing, and finally some of it is because [...]
Oak - LOVESONG [Popgroup, 2007] (d/l)
The picture above is of the awesome case that Oak’s album One is packaged in. It’s made of metal and cotains some nicely designed pictures together with the cd. This is one of the records I purchased when I was in japan. The music can be classified as electronica, pretty [...]
