JD Emmanuel – ‘Time Traveler’ 2LPKudo’s to Lieven Martens of Dolphins Into The Future for bringing J.D. Emmanuel back into the spotlights. In 2007 Lieven dug up the masterpiece album Wizards and re-issued it on his own label. A few years later, in 2011, J.D. was asked to tour through Europe where he was accompanied by Dolphins Into The Future and Paul Labreque. Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, Germany and Holland welcomed J.D and the people attending the concerts knew they were in for an electronic blast from the past! This 2xLP set covers the tour with a great deal of unreleased live tracks. The live recordings show J.D.’s phenomenal skill to create a universe of swirling and constantly turning sounds. He’s up there in the big league of early electronic and new age pioneers with the likes of Iasos, Laurie Spiegel and Trans-Millenia Consort. Some words from the man himself: After my European tour, I decided to use the name Time Traveler to describe my music because it can put the listener into a state where time seems to disappear. This is my goal with my music, to create an altered state for expanding consciousness. With Hawaïan inspired artwork, just like JD’s colorful character and of course his t-shirts.

Quiet Evenings – ‘Impressions’ LP
Following the much loved Nova Scotian Arms / Motion Sickness Of Time Travel split LP on Aguirre, here’s the second collaborative LP by the couple from LaGrange, Georgia. In a little over three years, the duo that comprise Quiet Evenings – Grant and Rachel Evans – have become two of the most prolific and active artists in the American underground. Each also has solo projects: Grant most recently under his own name as well as Crippling and Rachel as Motion Sickness of Time Travel. Between those as well as Quiet Evenings, they’ve amassed well over 50 releases for various labels in various editions. They also co-run the Hooker Vision label, clocking up a similar amount of releases for other kindred spirits. On Impressions both sides offer superrepetitive dronework in the highest form. Outer-space that balances a slow pace with an incredibly intense inertia to evolve immediately, yet gracefully. With minimal instrumentation of guitars and synthesizers the pieces on Impressions captivate the listener into the world they’ve created. Far from the realm of pure ambient drift, subtle forces build within their disarming restraint and provide a stunning balance between light and shade. Quiet Evenings inhabit a ghostly space of unique elegance. This is a duo that can carry their craft well beyond standard shapes.

Shtyro feat. DenMother – ‘Live Vile’ C32 $6
Shtyro is the produced sounds of Robert Griswold… transplanted to Austin, Texas by way of Denver, Colorado… his music is tender with chilling effects that broaden the scope of ambience into a relaxing dragged out beat that drops with a haunting feel. A swarming of emotions that spin with the addition of DenMother’s vocal loops creating an orgasmic sensation and tranquil illusiveness. Live Vile sounds like it was recorded late at night, maybe in the darkness of a forest, with a lush soundscape that sets the tone for a beautiful masterpiece. Limited to 48 “jelly green” tapes. Mp3 download with purchase.

Blvck Ceiling – ‘VOID’ c30 $6
The darkness of dragged out beats and soulsplitting samples of Blvck Ceiling continue with the buzzing synth sounds of VOID.

The well-crafted album of Spokane’s lost soul features dances of the dead, a sound of internal chaos and inflicted pain. More than just a continuation of a very successful 2012, VOID realizes the end of the world, embraces it, then destroys the hope of survival. Let this be your Bible on the journey to the abyss. Limited to 150 black cassettes on chrome tape. Mp3 download with purchase.

DJ DOG DICK – ‘IDENTITY’
Forged in St. Louis suburban ennui and steeped in urban slime from the slums of the West Side of Baltimore to the fringes of Greater New York City, DJ DOG DICK’s IDENTITY EP is the warning shot – a statement of self and a direct declaration of intent – announcing the imminent arrival of THE LIFE STAINS LP (coming May 2013). Comprised of all-new, non-LP material, IDENTITY melds the hazed sonics of the past decade of haunted pop with blazed surrealist raps and a comedian’s sense of pace and narrative. IDENTITY was written and engineered by DJ DOG DICK himself at HOSS’s nu studio facility, LONE PINE ROAD, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn during December 2012 and January 2013, in the aftermath of the destruction wrought by Hurricane Sandy on his current hometown, Far Rockaway, Queens. DJ DOG DICK (nee Max Eisenberg) has cultivated underground infamy for the last decade, coming up in the 2000’s noise scene as a member of Nautical Almanac. Since, Eisenberg has maintained parallel lives as both a top-flyte home-brew modular synthesist (recording as DOG SYNTH), and as one-half of DOG LEATHER (alongside SEWN LEATHER), reigning enfant terribles of the noise-rap non-scene. With IDENTITY, DJ Dog Dick takes his rightful place as the Right Coast’s reigning slime-pop auteur mutante.
