Seit seinem großartigen Debüt-Album " The Dance Paradox" vom letzten Jahr, für das er sich viele seiner Drum-Sounds von Ben Lauber, dem Schlagzeuger von T.Raumschmieres Band hatte einspielen lassen, gibt es ein spezielles Redshape Live-Set mit Drummer, in dem die bratzigen Moog-Rülpser seiner rohen Techno-Tracks vom tribalistisch-rockigen Live-Gedrumme intensiviert werden. Unser Mix des Tages ist ein Mitschnitt von einer Show in Bern aus diesem Jahr, komplett mit verzücktem Jubel-Geschrei des Publikums. Wer mitjubeln möchte, kann sich das Set hier runterladen. PS: Demnächst erscheint auf Delsin eine neue Maxi vom Maskenmann Redshape mit dem [...]

Redshape - Paradox Dubs Growing up in East Germany Sebastian Kramer a.k.a. Redshape had been profoundly influenced by Detroit techno (that can't be right?) But thankfully for all of us it is. He always made a point to make his music stand alone and for something when he got in his studio to work. Most of what surrounded him at the time was tranced up and drugged out drivel. So he set out to cut up his techno his way and to hell [...]

[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] Oh man this first preview of the new Brian Eno's LP on Warp Records has me geeked, have a listen above, it grows into a bit of an educated punk kids dream. Deep techno wizard Redshape is always on my radar, I prefer his singles over any other material, if you ever want to hear someone holding down the early melodic Detroit sound than look no further than this man. Brooklyn's Pandatone glitches out on a [...]

Redshape have been on top form lately with some brilliant remixes of Martyn and The Black Dog and his debut album "Dance Paradox" appearing towards the end of last year. Keeping things moving along though we get this cracking double 123 on Present. Over the 6 tracks you get the usual Redshape quality house and techno with smatterings of acid and enough beats to keep most dancefloors moving. It's final track "Drama" that stands out above the rest for me though, with it's doomy hook line leading along a nice dark [...]
To these ears at least, Redshape's debut album was one of the best techno long players of '09, so the appearance of Red Pack so soon afterwords is a pleasant surprise. While not intended as a follow-up to The Dance Paradox , this double pack performs an equally important function, neatly encapsulating the disparate dance floor styles that now fall under the masked one's widening palette.

Seems my review of Redshape for Junkmedia is up. Masks have a long and distinguished history in the arts, from Japanese kabuki and the Commedia dell'Arte right through to DOOM , and, um, Slipknot . The latest beau of the masked ball is techno producer Redshape , behind whose slightly unnerving red plastic visage allegedly hides a Famous Techno Producer In Disguise. Whether this is true or not, it'd seem to be a win-win situation for the [...]

Or maybe in this case a machine took over my soul and that is where the conspiracy started. Aldus Boris Bunnik in een interview over zijn debuutalbum Machine Conspiracy . Techno is een ontmoeting tussen die geluidgenererende machines en de mens. Producerend als Conforce vormt dat alvast de kern. De melodieuze techno op het album blinkt uit in subtiliteit. Sfeermakende tracks voor een feestje met connaisseurs of gewoon voor op je koptelefoon. Conforce is misschien wel het stille broertje van Carl Craig en Redshape. Luister [...]

Minimal Mondays More minimal for this Monday eve with a driving house number from Kevin Griffiths working with Amsterdam's Julian Chaptal . Released on Tsuba records alongside other VR favorites like Zoo Brazil, Danton Eeprom and Motorcitysoul its no surprise that we get down to this. DL : Kevin Griffiths - Oh Yeah (Julien Chaptal mix) Next up is a little Move D to get things going a bit faster and funkier. His work here with DJ Late is perfect [...]

I'd like to get an idea of how many of our readers would support a few changes to our chart system. I've spoken with Tim about this and we're gonna run a poll to get a better idea. As it stands, there is a kind of legal "grey area" when it comes to sharing mixes online. As a promotional tool, it's become the preferred platform to share music on the Internet without disrespecting the artists, their labels, or infringing copyright laws. Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's [...]

Minimal Mondays Let's face it Monday's are minimal. The weekend is usually hanging all over you when you arrive to start another workweek. Sometimes you get through the wknd but you suffer hearing loss, liver damage, and lung destruction - all for the music. At least that's me. I realize that these songs are straying from the dancefloor but sometimes you just need a massage and not a barrage. (Images from victortimofeev.com ) . Dubstep is undoubtedly a growing force and not just in the [...]
E così andiamo a mostrarvi anche la classifica di fine anno targata OndaRock, da anni una delle webzine musicali più importanti e più seguite a livello nazionale. Dico subito che la numero uno mi sorprende leggermente, non che sia un brutto disco, anzi, ma vederlo lì sopra a tutti mi fa uno strano effetto. Sto parlando di "Lovetune For Vacuum" di Soap&Skin , il progetto di Anja Franziska Plaschg che, va ricordato, ha solamente 19 anni... alla faccia di tutti quel che dicono cose come "sì, ma è giovane" quando si parla di artisti teen-oriented, come a [...]

It seems once again artists have looked past shriveling album sales and pooh poohed format worries while creating a truly outstanding crop of longplayers. Whether exploring the sinews connecting electronic music and jazz, amalgamating traditional African and house sounds, gearing up a set of club bangers or diving into unknown recesses in listeners' heads, the 10 albums LWE's reviewing staff chose represent the best 2009 had to offer. We have only one regret: last year we voted DJ Sprinkles's breathtaking Midtown 120 Blues as 2008's #3 album of the year , which disqualified it from being included [...]

Illustration by Heike Weber [ Delsin, Present ] ( buy vinyl ) Mysterious German producer Redshape is one of the most impressive examples of a general shift in techno back to classical sounds and styles, and "Paradox Dubs," released in tandem with his stellar Dance Paradox debut album, will reinforce his reputation as a torchbearer for traditional techno. Even the presentation typifies a purism - and I thought I'd never get to say this - that is welcome [...]

Following a few recent live shows , it appears that the mysterious Oni Ayhun is indeed as previously thought, the work of The Knife's Olof Dreijer. Out earlier in May this year OAR 003 is nothing sort of sensational. " Discover steep, rugged canyons, painted rock minarets, desert vistas framed by blooming wildflowers, soaring raptors and singing canyon wrens on the wildest remaining rivers. Join this amazing journey composed of quiet floating as well as exciting whitewater rapids. Search for birds, including both the zone-tailed and gray hawk, elegant trogon, elf [...]

With Halloween just around the corner i thought it'd be a good idea to do a post about bands and artists that hide behind sweaty masks, helmets and other head fitting objects whilst plying their trade up on the stage. Is it for "artisctic" reasons or are they just ugly? Who knows?....Who cares? Let's be honest, it looks fucking cool if you can pull it off right (take note guys from Slipknot!) and it adds mystery. So, Halloween lovers, i'd like you to meet.... The Toxic [...]

Frequenze basse. Piatti. Spazzole. Una cassa morbida. Poi parte un giro melodico dolente. Seduce me è il primo pezzo di The Dance Paradox , primo album di Redshape. Gli elementi prendono a cumularsi e a influire sui precedenti, seducendoli sottilmente. In Seduce Me la cassa come quella dei pezzi che si sentono in discoteca comincia quando mancano trenta secondi alla fine. Come in Garage GT , che ce l’ha anche all’inizio ma che viene presto inglobata dal ticchettio di una macchina per scrivere tribale e da inesorabile diventa circospetta. Si sente un clacson per [...]
