With the end of the long, strange trip that was 2012 almost upon us, it's time to turn our attention to the year to come. January has historically been a bit of a fallow month for album releases, but that's changed in recent years with some notable records (most memorably Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion ) dropping early in the year, and the first month of 2013 is certainly looking reasonably well stocked for worthy new records. As we do at the start of every month, we've selected the ten records we're most looking forward to hearing, along [...]

On the sixth day of Christmas, Musical Fruitcake gave to me....a lovely little atmospheric piece to soothe and uplift the soul. Stumbled onto Pantha du Prince late this year and have quickly become entranced with what they/he has done throughout their/his catalog.  Subtle suggestions of melodies are wrapped around the pop/click beats of yester-20002s all building into hints of danceable beats.  Yes, it is THAT vague, but lovely all the same.  Give this one time, I promise you will enjoy it.

Adam Wray was wearing Lugz at the 12/12/12 charity show . Hendrik Weber aka Pantha du Prince is one of the finest minimal techno craftsmen. His 2010 LP Black Noise was elegant and refined, making up for with precision what it lacked in raw energy. Last year, Weber linked with Norweigan collective The Bell Laboratory for a performance at Øyafestival that married his production to the group's live instrumentation. The Bell Laboratory is aptly named — chiming percussion is their bread and butter. Weber and the group have extended their collaboration across a [...]

Moogfest 2012 We just got back from Moogfest 2012 and lets just say it was a hell of a time. This was the festival's 3rd year at it's current site in Asheville, NC. With its eclectic style and laid back attitude, Asheville makes an excellent city for a festival that prides itself on forward thinking music. Curated with an emphasis on the artists pushing experimental boundaries, Moogfest 2012 brought together a wide variety of artists ranging from electronica pioneer Morton Subotnick to West Coast Noise Rapper Death Grips . Spanning over multiple [...]

Germany's latest patron of ambient techno, Pantha Du Prince is currently putting the finishing touches to his collaborative five track album, 'Elements Of Light', with The Bell Laboratory. Set for release on 14th January, 'Elements Of Light' promises to be a futuristic and engaging collection of throbbing bass, precise instrumentation and melody. Clearly influenced by the likes of John Cage, Steve Reich, and Moondog, 'Elements Of Light' is technically a continuous piece of experimental music that has been broken down into five separate sections or elements. In fact, each track has been [...]

Pantha du Prince and his collaboration with the Norwegian group The Bell Laboratory delivers a sneak peak into their much anticipated and too-be-released album called Elements. Scheduled for release on the 15th of January 2013 on Rough Trade records, the album will include five tracks where each name represents a particular element of light. The track "Photon" promises another stylistic journey into Hendrik Weber's(Pantha du Prince) forceful and textural conversations between the natural and the electronic; between deep basslines and fragile bells, it roams freely between the romantic melancholia and its atonal ruptures to settle itself in a [...]

Hendrick Weber - creator of fine albums such as This Bliss and 20102s sublime Black Noise , made under the Pantha du Prince moniker - will make his return early next year with a new record. Elements of Light is a collaborative effort with Norwegian group The Bell Laboratoryand will be released by Rough Trade on January 15th. The albums's five tracks are named after a different element of light, so any Pantha du Prince/physics majors are probably going to be very excited. According to Pitchfork , the album will [...]

German electronic producer/musician Panthu du Prince and Norwegian artists the Bell Laboratory are set to release a collaborative album, Elements of Light , January 14th, 2013 on Rough Trade Records. Listen to brand new album cut 'Photon' now.

Reports surfaced in early October that German producer Pantha du Prince would release a new album on Rough Trade early next year. The album's title ( Elements of Light ), release date (January 15th), and tracklisting (below) were revealed today, along with album track " Photon ". As that effort shows, the five tracks on Elements of Light highlight synths, percussion, and a bell carillon, which is a concert carillon in this case since it features 50 bronze bells (anything less than 47 has a different name). The three-ton instrument provides extra flavor to Hendrik Weber's striking electro-induced [...]

One crappy cellphone picture of PANTHA DU PRINCE at Waves Vienna, 6 October 2012, Flex Finally. This would have been even nicer had the circumstances been different. After three days of an overall exciting and great showcase festival and conference like this, not only sleep is missing but also the feeling of genuine, honest human interaction, with everyone pitching their projects to everyone else and being nice to each other only to get ahead. We got so used to it that even we took part in this general fakeness and now detox is badly [...]

Having supported a wealth of undeniable talent over the last couple of years including School of Seven Bells, Toro Y Moi, Sun Araw, Prince Rama, Seaworthy and Pantha Du Prince; Melbourne boy Leigh Hannah (aka minimal sorceror THE   TOWNHOUSES ) is without a doubt Victoria's best kept musical secret. We're really excited to be bringing you the first taste of  HANNAH 's second album 'Disapora', a single titled 'Talk' featuring the sweet, dreamy vocals of  Giorgio Tuma . He's been travelling far and wide recently having just got back from a [...]

Op het affiche van TodaysArt zijn mooie namen te vinden voor dag 2. Toch liep de avond anders dan gepland. Het begon al in de middag; Normaalgesproken loopt er in de achtergrond van een festivalavond als deze een afvalrace. Wie blijft nog plakken? Wie gaat naar het station? Maar vandaag is de race al gelopen voordat de avond goed en wel begonnen is. De pijp werd niet aan Maarten, maar aan mij gegeven. Aankomst Afijn, eenmaal aangekomen op het Spuiplein zie ik een groepje mensen naar binnen turen bij het Atrium waar Canto Ostinato aan [...]

Morgen staat Pantha Du Prince op Todaysart . Integenstelling tot zomaar een set draaien komt de Duitser met een bijzonder project: The Bell Laboratory. Dat Hendrik Weber een belfetish heeft was al bekend, zo hoorde we al op zijn laatste langspeler (Black Noise) al een serie aan klokgeluiden voorbij komen, verweven met zijn minimal house. Maar nu met The Bell Laboratory komt deze passie tot een hoogtepunt. Samen met Lars Petter Hagen heeft hij een composite van 40 minuten gemaakt, genaamd Elements of Light . Op het Øyafestival in Noorwegen was de premiere en naar aanleiding van de beelden kan het niet snel genoeg [...]
