Kann Germany 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Having debuted on Kann with one of the finest contributions to their double LP compilation Family Horror, Leipzig based producer Falke is granted further opportunity to display his obvious talents with this finely judged EP. The title track "Undermyarms" is a resplendent example of European deep house finery, gliding across the A Side sumptuously with the unassuming grace of a moose sliding down a mall. Flip over for the expertly titled "Late Night" which mutates excellently from the gently rattling opening moments into a jerking mass of lysergic energy and thick kicks which is quite hypnotic by the time it reaches the end. The tinny sounding acid odyssey "Flying" ends this twelve in promising fashion.

Review: After debuting on Prins Thomas' Internasjonal Spesial label last year, Philipp Matalla supplies the multifaceted Kann platform with the Lack Of Loss EP. Acoustic flair awards both of Matalla's tracks, with a fat slapped bassline in the EPs title track a focal point, while rusty cowbells and other percussion ding like an outback railroad crossing. With beats deeply couched in a warm bed of deep pads and evolving textures, "Alright" shares the live instrumentation heard in a lot of the music to come out the Giegling camp, specifically its percussion and ambient effects. Mix Mup & Kassem Mosse resurface together after some stunning collaborative work last year, taking Matalla's synthesised guitar licks from "Alright", sands them down, and turns it into something smudgy and unpolished, with the duo plummeting the track deep into a realm of murky sub-sonics and abstract rhythms.
