Looks like Arne has another winner on his hands! I can't wait to play it. jw ps.

Viewpoints features new material by artists all around the globe with the same kind of vision in mind. Deepness, soul and timelessness expressed in different ways of electronic music. The compilation features some new talents alongside some well known producers. Louis Haiman: Based in St. Louis he is running his label fwdthought featuring artists such as Tony Drake and Chris Schubert. He is best known for his contributions to Transmat. Inner Technology is a deep swirling filtered electro tune. CRC: aka Harrison Fnord aka Michael Diekmann. Coming from Finland his sound is best described as the northern version of the good old days of Detroit and old Plus 8 records. He has released on several labels such as Statik Entertainment or Curle and is definitely one to watch in the future. Alex Leon: Not only doing the complete graphics for AW, Alex also does some music of his own. Being very shy and not willing to let the public hear his creations it's great to present you one of his deep ambient pieces. The perfect soundtrack for a rainy nightdrive. Deixis: A mysterious new artist from the UK. This CD only bonus track introduces Deixis to the label rooster. A complete 12 will follow later this year. The stuff can be best described as a mixture of old B12, Black Dog and Convextion or Maurizio material. CD only bonus track! Stephen Brown: Stephen doesn't really need an introduction. He has released superb material on Djax Up Beats, Transmat and Subject Detroit to name a few. He created his own unique sound through the 90's until now and we are happy to have him on the compilation. Time Light Curve: This is a new project of Gerard Hanson aka Convextion / E.R.P. Expect some machine funk coming directly from Texas. Myon: First ever release by this fresh artist from germany. Pure analogue electronic techno with a clear influence by Stasis or As One for example. Expect a lot of melodic soul on thisCD only bonus track. Strand: the Detroit based trio is known from releases on Delsin and Shake's Frictional label. Soleil is wonderful deep stringladden detroit techno with a beautiful melodic piano line. Licensed from Harbonder, Strand's imprint. Ovatow: Ovatow prefers to stay unknown. He already released on Frantic Flowers and Syncom Data's SD label. He continues his unique dub influenced style with Visitation_v4 in a very funky electro way. Ovatow breaks the musical barriers of the so called dub techno genre. East Island: One of the famous dutch duo's from the good old days. They had several releases on legendary Dutch label Eevo Lute and on Down Low Music together with The Moderator. The master of Servir is an emotional deep techno masterpiece that takes your mind onto a journey to far away galaxies. CD bonus only! XDB: We welcome Kosta Athanassiadis to the label. He is one of the very few German producers creating his own unique sound nowadays and his label Metrolux is hot! Watch out for this talented man and listen to c.o.n. to experience some good quality techno music. Obsolete Music Technology: aka Steven Tang, living in Chicago and running his imprint Emphasis for a long time. We think he should be much more famous and hopefully Evening Star will help to raise the attention. His style is a mixture of Detroit and Chicago sound with a melancholic and deep sense for beautiful melodies. Derek Carr: Hailing from Ireland, Derek closes the album with one of his most emotional and deepest tracks. Telemetry is pure electronic soul. Check out his debut album Science Soul on Nice Nasty which was released in 2007. Next on AW-Recordings: AW-011 Paul Mac – Options EP (12) AW-012 Deixis – Nomads Soul a Mannequins Romance (12) ( incl.

(313) coming soon / [ leaf ]
Some stuff from Leaf brought to you by Dutch-East-India.. SUSUMU YOKOTA Magic Thread BAY11CD / BAY11V (limited double LP) UPC: 1753-32679-2 This is the sort of music you put on while you're doing the washing up only to find it has taken control of your very soul Ben Thompson, Mojo, on 'Image 1983-1998' Though probably better known for his funked-up techno and house (and jazz, disco, drum bass, etc), Susumu Yokota received fulsome praise for the Image 1983-1998 album released by The Leaf Label in September 1999. March 2000 sees the first release outside Japan of the now ridiculously scarce Magic Thread album. The album was actually released in Japan before Image, in a limited edition of just 500 copies on CD - the very first release on Yokota's own Skintone label. Magic Thread has a more electronic feel to it than Image, but is still possessed of the plaintive melodies and haunting minimalist dynamics that made Image such an unexpected treat. After Ken Ishii, Yokota was the first techno artist to release music in Europe (1992's Frankfurt-Tokyo Connection on Harthouse). Since then he has enjoyed a prolific career as both a DJ and recording artist, working under a host of pseudonyms, including 246, Ringo, Prism and Stevia. With his star currently very much in the ascendant in his native Japan and continental Europe, Yokota has begun to make an impression in the UK with his two most recent albums on Sublime, 1998 and 1999. He has sold in excess of 90,000 records worldwide. Due to popular demand, we are pleased to announce that the release of this album will be complemented by the belated release of his last Skintone album, Image 1983-1998, on limited edition 180g vinyl (BAY 9V, UPC 0666017005812. If you missed out last time round and you'd like to review both releases at the same time, please get in touch and we'll get you a copy of Image. We also have very limited quantities of a 'late-night' mix CDR that Yokota has recorded for radio broadcast, featuring the likes of Young Marble Giants, Penguin Caf Orchestra, Harold Budd and Aphex Twin. Let us know if you could use one of these. Yokota's next release on Leaf will be a 4-track EP of deep house remixes (more in keeping with his more familiar work on Sublime) of tracks taken from Image, Magic Thread, and the third album in the Skintone series, Sakura, which will also be released through Leaf later this year. He will also contribute to the forthcoming Invisible Soundtracks : Macro 3, and is to release his first ever mix album on Skintone, using only music from The Leaf Label. We wait with baited breath...
