Graham Hatke "Miles Away"

Baltimore's burgeoning More or Less imprint has been steadily climbing the ranks as one of America's top new electronic music labels. Carved out of the inspirations of Detroit and German techno, MOL serves up a healthy dose of floor burners and moody cuts and their latest offering by Graham Hatke does superbly at fulfilling both perspectives. "Before Sunrise" and "Miles Away" linger with the subtle hypnotic pizazz of a Rene Breitbarth jam, while the dub version of "Miles Away" protrudes with a noticeable Basic Channel influence. More than satisfactory, In Full Moonlight proves itself as the strongest release from the MOL camp. Download the original mix of Miles Away HERE.

Also, be on the lookout for a split 12 ich collaboration from both the Blank Artists and MOL labels, featuring original works from Graham Hatke. More (not less) information to follow. Check it!

Krautrock - A BBC Documentary

From: The BBC

This documentary examines how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war. Between 1968 and 1977 bands like Neu!, Can, Faust and Kraftwerk would look beyond western rock and roll to create some of the most original and uncompromising music ever heard. They shared one common goal - a forward-looking desire to transcend Germany's gruesome past - but that didn't stop the music press in war-obsessed Britain from calling them Krautrock.

This documentary serves as a beginning lesson into the vast experimental waters of Krautrock. A must see for any music enthusiast!

Madis One @ TV Lounge Detroit - TONIGHT

MADIS ONE is the blossoming musical project of Jon Smith and Adam Serafino. Previously a four-piece band known as Madis, the group reduced its membership to two under the morphed epithet, Madis One. Musical peers of five years, Jon and Adam play many of the parts live through keyboards, samples, guitar and vocals, which all make for an engaging live performance. Influenced by the likes of Aphex Twin, Telefon Tel Aviv, and Bjork, the duo are focused on turning out some of the freshest psychedelic electronic pop, furthering Detroit’s reputation as an experimental hip-hop breeding ground. Don't Miss their Tv Dinners Debut!

Oh.... and don't be fooled by the low bit-rate. I mean, c'mon dude.... you're girlfriend can't tell the difference anyway. Check it!

The Minimal Wave Tapes Vol. 1

This is the first official volume of minimal wave music from Europe and North America recorded in the 1980's. Most of the songs were originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves, and only a handful of people knew about them. They've been remastered from their analog source tapes for re-release on Los Angeles imprint, Stones Throw. Very cutting edge drum machine and synth music. Hot Biz!
