Crisopa is the personal project of Santi Lizón, Madrid unhabitant. It is some sort of mellodic electronica with the pretension of prompting therpaeutic trips towards impossible landscapes.

Tryad is one of the world's first 'virtual bands.'
Born of Creative Commons and opsound.org, the members of Tryad :: vavrek, arna, rjmarshall, John Holowach, and emma meet and create music entirely over the internet. During 2005, for over nine months they collaborated, all without having ever spoken to each other (only e-mailed), and produced a strikingly original work. Combining elements of trip-hop, alt. rock, classical instrumentation, and electronica, Public Domain breaks the mold of what you'd expect. From the hard-thumping bass, drums, and chorus of "The Final Rewind," to the mellow, drifting sixties beat of "Peace On Earth (Same Place)," to the stinging madness of "Dance of the Urbanite," there's something here for everyone to appreciate. Bands and artists like Portishead, Depeche Mode, Rob Dougan, The Beatles, Moby, Massive Attack, and many others mish-mash together in this profound audio journey...

Fans of 1990′s downtempo / smooth D+B take note! Rocket Empire is about to soothe your ears with the sound you’ve been waiting for. OM recording artist Dave “DPL” Lind heads up the Rocket Empire project, twisting new sounds onto delicate drum fills and lush pads and bringing back the downtempo movement as a one-man-show. LA blogger Sinning In LA caught a nice interview and mix from Dave. Snippet below, read the whole piece here.
Dave on Rocket Empire: “In my backyard I can actually see volcanoes, and that’s kind of crazy,” Dish shared. “All of the elements of Oregon are in this album. The surroundings, the open-air environment, that fact that everything here is green. The only problem with Portland is that it pretty much rains nine months out of the year so that has a huge say in the Rocket Empire sounds.”

PJE's Thought Process comes to CL as a drastic sound change from the previous releases. Almost it's polar opposite. A release that smells like Autumn and winks at Winter. Just think of a cold sunny day, spent in the beach and let the music flow. Smoothing synths accompanied by acustic instrumentation are scattered throughout the album and with the carefully placed textures, you found the heart and soul of Thought Process. It's simplicity is incredibly striking, proving that even from the most basic ideas, you can pull out surprises and sonic variation.

Eluerd records under his own name and with his musical project nimp. together they have formed the prayer tree, and their first self titled album is now seeing the light of day. with this project, the prayer tree typify the gift of silence and recovery in eight songs of sheer beauty and slight melancholy. redemption is a prevalent theme - through a journey/physical way (tokyo, silent stones), through technology (ubik), through experiencing a book (new york) or in a religious sense (all those who just couldnt make it, the golden hour). most of the songs refer to a moment, a fragment of time where your life has changed and/or you take the decision to change it for the better. these are pictures of thoughts, contemplation of yourself and of your surrounding. as a whole, the album is the musical equivalent of the enjoyment of these moments while having a taste of true happiness (at least for a little while). with this release the prayer tree present an album of quiet, introspection but also an album of strong and inventive songs. eluerd's poetic lyrics are set to a brilliant variety of subtle, colourful arrangements while acoustic and electronic instruments interact perfectly with a mellow voice. one can simply bathe in the lush sensuality of the instruments and compositions. give it a listen, you will not regret it.

Take 1 – saturate synthetic groove decorated with an excellent beat and an excellent mood definitely will not keep the listener indifferent on a dance-floor. Without losing rate, we are smoothly passing to Take 2 – we are like loading in not less fine atmosphere! Brightly expressed bass guitar does its business. The release finish Take 3, with not less massive bassline, fine pads and an old piano which gives warmly excellent jazz motive.
Dusted Wax Kingdom presents the debut album from Bears In The Attic. Combined hip-hop beats with soulful and jazzy grooves make it an essential for every connoisseur's collection. Absolutely comparable to the good old sound of Cymande, the positive flow of Mr. Scruff and the magical downbeat vibe of Funki Porcini. A very very funky baby!

From Space to Hip Hop and back. So you can describe the 7-track-ep “White Pussycat” from ORG. Changing beatz drives the listener from space to club, partially political, but never disabusing…
“Macht” shows the power of power, there are big words for this little earth. But afterwards pussycat is at the wheel and shows the problems of the world a little more relaxing. The problems are ambivalently. Watching news is important but don’t let you get depressively. Change the world! For example with 94 bpm.

unfoundsound is stoked to present a collaborative ep courtesy of two unfoundsound artists that have long since become much more than unfoundsound artists. “freeloader” is a dark and druggy minimal techno track made by butane and barem in 2006, originally intended for a compilation on a label which is now defunct. plus, you get a 2010 remix from (un)foundsound’s own, someone else — a deep and groovy minimal dub-techno head-trip.

60 Hertz(aka Wayne Duggan) and Resident@Mac-Trax-Radio,makes his first release with us. A 3 track ep, that brings us from the softly layered deep house number that is "Kids", through to "Buddin" which delivers a more dub tech flavour and on to "Tippin", which exposes 60 HERTZ deeper tech side.
Paul Croker is a versatile artist, reflected by his various musical influences from past to present. His first release, 'Beats for the Subverted' is primarily influenced by early DJ Shadow, Portishead and UNKLE. The simple aim was to set about recording a vinyl-only sample based work, overdubbing bass and percussion where necessary. The result is a dark, ambient hip hop flavoured album, with a light social commentary.
We have rarely experienced here at the Lab the build up of expectation behind a release like we felt for this one. "Beats for the Subverted" was one of the releases that reached out from our usual listening base and brought other listeners to the Lab. Right after [PS012] was released we started to get asked, by mail, in talks or on twitter when the next release from Paul Croker would see the light of day. That moment has arrived and the wait was well worth it. Dustmotes delivers with his "Containment Sessions" a release that is a few notches above "Beats for the Subverted". When listening to it for the first time I could feel a sound that is more confident and, but I might be wrong, I think that has a lot to do with all the positive feedback Paul got from his first ever release. Nothing in "The Containment Sessions" is out of place and the same attention to details that Paul got us used to, is here. I feel privileged for being one of the few that got to enjoy this release before everyone else and it is my opinion that we all should be grateful to Paul for sharing his immense talent with us.

As Bvdub, Brock Van Wey pokes holes in the fabric between dub and ambient music. On his first release under his own name, White Clouds Drift On and On, he discards drums and bass entirely, producing his finest work yet in the process. The tracks are built from tapered, drenching loops of tone, massed in respiring pulses. The music beats, shivers, yawns open. The album's title, while almost comically generic, is apt: without drums, it's wonderfully unimpeded, like a huge pendulum slowly spending its energy. We would get that it's Van Wey's most personal work even if it weren't for song titles like "I Knew Happiness Once"-- the tracks are sensitively inhabited, with a human ache in every cascade.

Celebrating its 16th anniversary G-Stone Recordings is releasing a compilation including new tracks by Kruder & Dorfmeister, Tosca, Peace Orchestra, Christian Prommer´s Drumlesson, Rodney Hunter, Makossa&Megablast and many others as well as a free bonus disc of classics and hidden treasures from the G-Stone vaults. So its been 16 years, has it? It has definitely been a while since Messieurs Kruder and Dorfmeister dared to rip off Richard Avedon and Elvis Presley in one seminal move, which is filed under G-Stone catalogue number 12 001. Well, they didnt exactly rip anyone off, they more appropriated it. And so G-Stone was born. Check these mad men and the pie they had their fingers in. Bedroom rockers and festival headliners, dub organisers and sessionists, futurists of nostalgia, continental purveyors of funk, alchemists of the sonic texture, a brand Danubian. 16 years? It’s been a long time, but G-Stone never left you without a beat to step to. Let them eat cake. Or fight with it. A birthday party without presents? No f**king way. 25 tracks – 13 new songs & 12 classics – will be available as free MP3 downloads from April 16th to May 16th at www.g-stoned.com. A 2xCD with an extensive booklet recounting the history of G-Stone Recordings and our artists will be in stores on May 17th. Thank you for being part of the G-Stone family – enjoy!
