[Kontra-Musik] (buy vinyl 1 / 2 / 3 ) (buy mp3s tk) The Swedish producer Andreas Tilliander has long been a shapeshifter in electronic music. Under numerous names, he's been instrumental in the development of "clicks & cuts" with Mille Plateaux and ambient IDM under the Mokira name. After being nominated twice, he won a Swedish Grammy for his album World Industries in 2005. His reach extended into mastering and running a label, both under the name Repeatle. His brand of richly layered, thick electronics carries over in [...]
[ Kontra-Musik ] ( buy vinyl ) (buy mp3s tk) The latest offering on the increasingly adventurous Kontra-Musik proves that first impressions are often misleading. Following last year's stunning debut album, Marcel Dettmann's latest move is to reconstitute parts, samples and "inspiration" from Swedish dub/drone merchant Mokira - who has graced left of center labels like Type, Raster Noton and Mille Plateaux - into an EP for Kontra. Given the source material, Dettmann's tendency (and techno music's generally) towards making experimental abstract techno, and the title, Factory Report - [...]
[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] I'm a big fan of Alan Braxe when he does something right, he took this Pacifc! remix and set the pace perfectly in an epic way. An OLD Kruder & Dorfmeister edit of Depeche Mode , classic downtempo. Found this compilation that Mokira was on, I think the whole idea behind it was songs sampling birds, super lush and gentle, I recommend the track by Tape too. If you work in music then should [...]
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. - George Gordon Byron . .

Well it's over, and because it's over I can't let go. 2009, I am reflecting on a year that has yet to end, my first complete year in the Bay Area. In truth, 2009 probably won't start to be cataloged by me until about 2017, which is such a futuristic thought I can hardly stand it. We're here to talk music however, so let's start and end with a standard top ten rundown: 1. Fever Ray – Fever Ray ( Rabid ) 2. Dolphins into the Future - …On Seafaring Island [...]
In an exclusive interview, John Twells discloses that 2010 will see Fennesz follow Svarte Greiner's lead in reworking On for Type - LMYE's label of the year after its astounding sequence of releases. It should also bring a new album from Sylvain Chauveau alone & the final release from Yellow Swans. Twells explains Type as [...]
Vladislav Delay "Tummaa" - Leaf Mp3 | Vladislav Delay - Tummaa My heart almost stopped when i heard that Valdislav Delay new album was out , i was so involved with his last two albums that naturally the expectations were very high. I cant say that im disappointed with the record , its just that with "Tummaa" Vladislav turn into a more cooperative experience than previous works , the astral random blurs of intensity that were shattered all over "Whistleblower" were a bit gone . Its a less sonic adventure , more [...]
Mokira is one of Andreas Tilliander 's many aliases and "Persona" is his most recent release as such, his second for the label Type. Billed as an exercise in pure analog electronics, I expected to be greeted by various pleasant bleeps and bloops, but what I got instead was dull as doornails minimalist ambiance. Drone doesn't have to be dull, nor should it be, yet this record goes nowhere. It's odd too because it's generally pleasant to listen to, just entirely non-compelling. Witness "Lord, am I going down?" , one of the album's slightly more [...]

Some things come around so rarely that you almost discount the possibility of them happening at all. The unheralded appearance of a new album by Andreas Tilliander in his Mokira guise on the Type label- his first for them for five years - is one such unexpected pleasure. Not that he has been [...]
