his second album for pan y rosas, number 3, features two versions of the same piece – one for piano solo and one for violin and ensemble (featuring flutes, clarinets, bassoon, trumpet, tuba, percussion, and double basses). the sound is a rhythmic pulse with occasional voice.
“Transmition Machine” (something like “Transmission from the machine”), robotic voice has more than his previous works, he enters a plane almost “Electro” reminding the Germans Kraftwerk, – even to the current staging of Gozne – without being a blatant copy. The sound is analog and deep, varying between 100, 110, 115 and 124 BPM. Minimalist at times, experimental in others. The voices provide spoken word, no song, just phrases that say: Time Bomb, Total Devastation, Technologic Music, Planet of Confusions and more, which provide each subject not only their title, also their particular environment and development.
The audio-visual show called “Random iLive Action” is clearly present in this work since each track was recorded as if it were a show more and only the voices were incorporated later. The random concept remains “nothing goes the same twice” and for that reason, this work can be executed again live or studio but never sound the same, keep the concept of each track, but each party shall again “Randomized” giving to each performance the same character but with different.

al tiro, their first album for pan y rosas discos, documents their first public performance. the sound is: chime snake swirl. metal scratch skree. quiet long note bends. physical percussion. staccato footstep notes. process vibrato. glass string flow. reverse polarities, cross streams. pierce pulse. low drone feedback string punch. objects falling down hills. black lodge bass descension glissando treble string ambiance.
“Reggae has always been my passion as I was brought up in Brixton and went school there so my musical influence has always been a heavy bassline on a reggae riddim. Some of my mentors are: The Scientist, King Tubby, Black Uhuru, Mad Professor, Sly & Robbie, Bob Marley, Eek a Mouse, Gregory Isaacs … and too many more Kings, not enough room here to mention! Jah Guide, Protect & Bless all.” – Med Dred
On his debut release on Dubophonic netlabel, Med Dred introduces a style that is deeply rooted in the history of reggae music. Inspired by the old dub masters and sound engineers of Jamaica, Med Dred manages to assimilate their sound and transform it into something new, either by incorporating his own custom made effects, improvising on the melodica or using his voice snippets to send out his anti-Babylon messages.
The “Dred Reggae” EP includes six tracks, dubbed and remixed by Med Dred exclusive for the Dubophonic netlabel. Heavy one drops, deep echoes and reverbs, heart pounding bass lines and conscious lyrics are the ingredients of his musical recipe. Accompanied by many guests, Med Dred creates his own personal sound, still remaining true to the original roots of reggae music.
Special participation of Ted Sirota (drums) on “Jahnoy”, Felix Dub Caravan (bass) on “Jahnoy” and “Dub-o-phonic words”, Christopher Pound and Tian (bass) on “Bal Ed Dred” and Peter Attah (vocals) on “Attah Dred”.
Mekha provides a deep, introspective selection of tracks, working in his own dark glitchy beeped-up dub-techno style of beatmaking with a range of collaborators.
Spaceape-esque vocals from MegaZimze, dusty female focals from Snowflake and a host of far-out remixes from Dsve Hosx, The Raging Sea, Emmerichk and Plug.
This is headphone electronica at it’s most polished.

This was a conceptual album organized around a very special subject: fake folklore eskimo music (Cutler 1993).
To achieve that, the collective not only invented a tale that could base the album; a specific language variant for the ritual songs ‘recreated’ here was even delivered.
As it was expected, all of this huge frame didn’t made up anything but another one, designed to keep on laughing at, making a parody of, and comments on recurrent study objects such as: pop, publicity, big scale marketing (op. cit).
By the end of 2011, the local artist Mika Martini, grown surrounded by the visuality, give us ‘Los Hanoish y otras subculturas extintas’ (The Hanoish and other extinct subcultures), a conceptual album organized around a very unusual clue: imaginary pre-Columbian cultures.
The starting point was given at playing with Ursula Calderón’s voice (1923-2003), that, processed and manipulated, it becomes quite unrecognizable and distant about its time, telling and metal.
Martini also gives a quantum leap in respect of his previous release, ‘Mestizo’ (pn014 / 2007), abandoning the melody and danceable beat at all, to achieve the sound in its maximum amplitude and possibilities.
We’re hoping that, joined by the cold, the distance and the starting point, both works intersect in our ears, more and more each time, so they could expand our anxiety and imagination.”

teraz, tak!, her first album for pan y rosas, begins with a solo performance by andrea and is followed by a series of duets between andrea and the musicians: walter wright, davindar singh, adriana de los santos and alexei borisov who provide additional electronics, saxophone, piano and guitar respectively.
The drums of eternity chime through the floodgates of the international Cosmopolitana. Crossover of the culminating history in sound and imaginery. Transit.
adamned.age thematizes her explorations in the artistic metropolis Berlin, as a frame for her delighting album of hard to categorizable electronic music. Her up to now ways shine to be woven in her tracks, her drum playing skills meet the Piano and post classical influences.
