concept by hypnoskull: call me every name in the book. but don't count me into your carefully selected circle of so called 'fellow brothers and sisters'. subcultural lil' copies of the regular society which is out there. we die alone. and death is certain. don't regard my temporary presence to your group as some declaration. it is just a lucky or unlucky coincidence in space and time. i do what i am supposed to do? forget it. no one knows, not even myself. if your life is a movie i am playing a minor yet crucial part in it. passing into your screen for 23 seconds maximum. leaving nothing more but a short impression which will live under your skin and eventually will come out again like that alien in this movie which crawls out of someone's chest. i am not a messenger. don't expect my view on global warming. don't ask me to judge. do not expect anything. i pass by in these 23 seconds like some drive-by shooter. fast. violent. out of the blue. unexpected. my bullets don't kill though. they mark you. or don't. if they don't, i will be some footnote you will remember as some weird character of a freakshow. if they do, i will be influencing your mind forever with fake images of aesthetics, anti-fashionable audio combinations just made to provoke you. i will make you doubt about your own self. you will never be the same. you will question the next fashion someone will try to lay upon you. you will see that your lil' world is full of posers. fucking posers. artists that live for one season only. hypes so big they die in the timespan of one of your own breathings. breath deep and slow. cash is the new god. money piles up so fast we need wings to stay above it. everybody who makes it wants to double it. you are only allowed into a group when you show enough of it. or pose enough that you have enough of it. the new reference. measured in piles. goods. 'style'. your new religion. 323 questions to ask a hypnoskull, and here are just 3 of them: "do you have enough to be part of my scene ?" and yeah, this one also: "what is your value?", and the main one: "how much am i worth for you?". industrial owes us money. Word.

to unite the apollonian and the dionysian, the rational and the exstatic has never been easy, which is why the greeks had a god for each case. it is to be noted that music falls within the area of responsibility of the rational apollo with his muses, but dionysos was always ready to get the party started and turn the volume up. to paraphrase salman rushdie from "the ground beneath her feet", that the struggle of the great musician is to try to set the pure, clean tones of apolloÕs song in movement to the impure rythmn of dionysos. each epoch has tried to bridge the dichotomy in it's own language, in the baroque with ratio and god, the romantic with power and nature, the modern with disonance and alienation and our post-modern with rythmn and the medial self. each an existential answer and question to our human condition. our sensual awareness is steered by our emotions. questions of awareness are existential questions both philosophically and literally. emotional morbidity can lead to untimely death. perhaps the more a person encapsulates and isolates their emotional condition, the more pathological becomes their state. nothing perhaps represents for us the spirit of deferred gratification and balanced power more than the game of chess. nothing seems so mysteriously ordered, 8x8 the 64 squares and the hierarchical pyramid of feudal order. it may say something of the origin of chess that hindu teaching guides us to the 64 abilities a man must master, or the 64 combinations of the 8 categories of erotic acts in the kama sutra, amongst other similar combinations. likewise, the i ching demonstrates in 64 hexagrams the manifold universe as the sum of 6x odd and even. the master, as opposed to the computer, has stored the combinations through experience and chooses the next move as the intuitive sum of all this experience just as the random fall of coins opens the door to an oracle. all art has to be understood as speaking first to the heart. when a clever artist today says that he or she wants to make us think with their attempt to shock, then they have failed to understand either art or us. art speaks to our emotions first and not to our rational faculty. we feel first and ask questions later. the first steps to mathematics starts in our emotional awareness. our feelings come and go, are true for a time and then change. in the moment that i feel, my feeling is unequivocally true, whereas anything i say rationally, including this essay can be argued about and disputed. that 1+1=2 is something that nobody will dispute either, but 3-1=2 is also true. once again klangstabil approaches the squaring of the circle. (excerpt from 'math & emotion - a prologue', written by alasdair macaulay) the idea of producing a concept album about chess arose in the summer of 2005 when boris may started cultivating an interest in the game to find a way to overcome his growing mental laziness. maurizio blanco also liked the idea of turning chess into a musical concept. chessboards and relevant literature were aquired so as to get into to the spirit of the game. originally, the title of this album was planned to be "mindchess". later on, it was transformed into 'math & emotion' because this title reflects the way klangstabil learned how to play the game. "the concept 'math & emotion' became wider and overstepped the limits of a mere game of chess. it was projected on interhuman behavioral patterns in the everyday game of life." (boris may) at the end of 2005, boris may was captivated by the idea to make a cover for 'math & emotion' in the dime novel/ghost story style of the german "gespenster geschichten" comics. these ghost novels were pulp fiction that was published in the 1970s and that impressed him deeply in his childhood. after some research he was able to contact the artist who did the cover paintings, ugurcan yüce (can). boris may: "since he is not only a painter but also a musician, we got on to the same wavelength very quickly when the concept of 'math & emotion' was explained. i explained how the chess theme should run through the whole album." this contradiction is visually realised by two archetypal spirits emanating from boris may's and maurizio blanco's bodies to fight the deadly match to the end. the music on this album seems easily accessible, resuming the path klangstabil has been on for years. the first impression to the expectant listener might be undiluted dark electro-based pop, but this isn't an inaccurate evaluation, as they call it 'klangpop'. massive synth surfaces, pulsing sequencer patterns and intense vocals intertwined with precise computerized drum beats add up to memorable tunes. on closer examination oblique details become visible: elaborated rhythmical work, hidden sound fragments and the specific tension klangstabil are well-known for - all aided by significant lyrics in german, english and italian. the more you engage in 'math & emotion' the more the deepness of this release will develop - just like the seemingly simple game of chess and the game of life.

photography and layout by salt at a very young age, the norwegian one man project hpc started creating electronic music that ranged from danceable electronica and psytrance to hard-/speed-/breakcore, ambient and noise. after some experimentation and development he felt the time for a first release was right and now 'halfbreed' has been realized. in his own words, hpc's aim is to build an aural exposure of his personal view of life by creating music beyond predictable schedules and clichés in electronic music. with this debut he has perfectly accomplished what he had in mind. hpc presents a fusion of heavy syncopated beats and pulsing low end bass, balanced by synth textures and soundtrackish samples - inducing atmospheres that dwell between unbridled ecstasy and subliminal hypnosis. tracks like 'machine' and 'run' are a fine example of the terrifying and liberating climax of rhythmic power’s crescendo. feel free to file 'halfbreed' between illbient, dubstep and darkest ambient that has accumulated hardtech aggressiveness. with this album hpc hit the target - and this is only the beginning...

Totally fucked up electronika. A real pleasure for who is awaiting some musical surprises. Egotwister keeps on diggin' and deserve MASSIVE SUPPORT !

Acid electro LP. Some 4/4and some breaks. Not too speed. A perfect easy stuff. Musical but not 'impossible'. Melodious but not mellow...

The new album from les Boucles Etranges. Mc Tabloid comes here a gest on a few tunes, mostly to melt to the sounds.. And sometime for a real song. One of their best album so far, even if there is no real evolution : Les Boucles Etranges is and remains as they've always been : Dancefloor and Experimental.

When you drop from ambient to Breakcore extreme violence... Something surpring and fresh from last year... Some boxes takes time to reach France...

Somehow this melts the breakcore to the hip hop like only a few labels can do. A superb abstract result. A real travel into the underground... TIP !

Ragga Jungle Fat Mix. Something for your Roots. Nice one.
