During the uprising in 2000, aided by the League of Humanity, two of Dr. Gall's advanced prototypes escape the Rossum Universal Robot factory and flee Earth on a decommissioned spacecraft. Travelling aimlessly through space, they begin to wonder what their new home would look like. They tell each other stories of planets with no humans to enslave them, no factories to go to -- planets where fresh blue water runs through pink, sun kissed mountaintops. Perhaps it's fortunate then that these Robots can feel no time, have no sense of past and future... And by the time their ship touches down on Ebaum's Dreamland, who knows how many years have passed on Earth? Ebaum's Dreamland is the first Rossum Universal Tracks release. It features a remix by Julius Steinhoff, who first discovered the scrambled transmissions in his deep space observatory in the woods.

LEHULTSUB 004EP
|
The Lehult Sub series returns with two breezy summer jams by Erobique, Hamburg local legend and renowned keyboard wizard. His live sets are the stuff of mythical tales and his release schedule would be best described as mischievous, being involved in many projects under diverse monikers. This one is full-on Erobique, then: raw, live and spontaneous on a hand-stamped, vinyl only Lehultsub release ready to make a splash.

Where Is The Shredmaster? serves you class-A Liem & Eddie Ness faux-bangers, neatly packed in a four-tracker on home ground. Crazy groovers from start to finish that have their feet firmly rooted on the dancefloor, lined with the boys' trademark hazy, slightly detached vibe. Liem & Eddie Ness have sunken into a natural groove, and all you'll want to do is relax and let it flow through you.

It's not the fall that hurts, it's hitting the ground; that's what Failing Upwards is all about. On Lehult's fourteenth release Lucky Charmz breaks away from four-to-the-floor territory to deliver a fun trip through skippy drum workouts and jazzy warmth. "Einbahnstraßen-Sound" was heard first on the Lehult Worldwide FM Special last year and sees the light of day in all its trippy, warm, analogue glory. "Oase" takes things deeper by layering lush synths, swarming melodies and ski field recordings over a laid-back electro-groove. "Rex Dubius" translates the vibe of the first two tracks into a more straightforward, dubby groove.

Inspired by Sylt -- Germany's "White Isle" -- Lehult provide four tracks with a sense of lighthearted optimism. Liem and Eddie Ness's "Rave (Sylt TV)" is a photo-op of a track: A chilled bottle of rosé at Buhne 16. "Refreshing Fruit, Tasty Fruit" by the same duo paints a lighter picture of the same theme. Think a tasting tour of 15 different sparkling waters. DJ Assam's "Sandy" warms things up with distant laughter and swirly synths. Lucky Charmz and Johan Kaseta's "Blueberry Icetea" closes things with an homage to the jolly car-train that connects Sylt to the mainland.

DJ Assam is back on Lehult with three futuristic club cuts on I'm Still In 2 It, balancing pounding functionality and dystopian atmosphere. "Shatterdome", cut deep across the whole first side of this record, is a no-prisoners-taken club workout that comes of surprisingly lightheaded with a pushing low-end and dusky atmo-stabs. "Lola T70" is a late-night car chase on cyber-highway, reminiscing THX-1138 leaving everything behind in a classic George Lucas sci-fi film; a state of floating acceleration and melancholy. "Say Hi To Everyone" is a signature.

Tony Rainwater is a most productive and creative savage. His productions are straight rough edged, no-prisoners-taken jams, combining samples from the most far-flung corners of his eclectic music collection. The A Side goes through the lighter side of his repertoire with the title track's slow-building house groove, some dizzy medieval monk grooves on "To All The World" and seductive R&B on "Lay It On The Line". On the flip, the irresistible groove of "Operalight" and "Black Dream Flowers" provide some darker moments, before "Alone" closes on a soft note. Includes an extra goodie after the runouts.

For Lehult's tenth release, they've put together a ten-track compilation of new material featuring friends of the label, titled Nie Wieder Streit. The four sides showcase some familiar Lehult sounds as well as some unexpected surprises: original crew members Liem, Lucky Charmz, Eddie Ness, Johan Kaseta, and DJ Assam are all on board with new material, while Matthias Reiling, A Trap Jr. & DJ Slyngshot, Rainboy, and Epikur also join the party. For the special occasion, Lehult wanted to compile a collection aimed at the DJs that have supported the label. Nie Wieder Streit is one of those versatile records that offers something for every situation, one that never leaves your bag. There's chilled, intricate songs for the early and late hours on the dancefloor, dark and vibe-y jams for the dungeons, joyful and weird peak-time stuff, and some straight-up groove monsters -- all on one release. Liem and Eddie join forces for the seemingly deteriorating, jumbling peak-time cut "Exodoro" while Liem's other contribution, "Truly Super", serves up sweaty basement magic. Lucky Charmz shows an unheard shade with his 150 bpm kitsch-anthem "Trance Song Cover", while Johan Kaseta's opener "Venue Flieder" and Assam's floaty groover "Looking For Revenge" stay in line with their trademark fruity/meditative sound. Epikur, a project between Eddie Ness and his longtime partner in crime Kryptofauna, snatch their debut release with the club-ready, synth-laden groover "Speedrunner IV", while Tony Rainwater's introduces his Rainboy project, gazing at his shoes on new-wave ballad "Heaven Fallen On Heaven Flesh". Last but not least, Mathias Reiling -- one-half of Session Victim and Giegling regular -- and Offenbach's A Trap Jr. and DJ Slyngshot contribute to the deeper end of this release with their respective tracks "Give And Take", an introverted, jazzy percussion trip, and "Lonely Is The Night", an ever out-of-touch, slowly rising whirlwind. Comes in one of four unique hand-stamped cover artworks by Jan-Paul Müller.

The Erefora Land is the first solo record by Johan Kaseta, Lehult founding member. "Lei Tindissima" is a seductive, blistering track on the verge of falling apart yet always staying groovy and pumping. "Erefora Steps" grooves on a broken, somewhat Latin type of bounce, turning between heavenly pads, psycho-vocals and, of course, echoed air horns. "U Timmi" is a laid back Sunday afternoon jam with luring layered samples and micro melodies. The blissful chords of "No Same Time" hide behind a veil of waterfalls, trickling shakers and swooping filters.

Eddie Ness and Liem join forces for Hardcore Will Never Dry. "Holy Grail" guides the listener into a groove vacuum: Pairing swirling ping-pong-delays with sharp-edged airy hi-hat's and a sturdy pad. "JRP" goes deeper into the groove vacuum. While heavy tribal shakers and drums are in the heart of a sizzling tropical jungle, merciless bass stabs and swift noise burst take us back to outer space. "Kevintin Melbourne Shuffle" is backed by lustfully popping bubble sounds, it's highly infectious shuffle groove steals the show, while sweet filtered steel drums melodies echo from a distant plant.

Lucky Charmz present U Still Coming Over?. "Faceless Goat" delights with its majestic opening chords, only to unleash a smashing grandeur of sample fun and lustful grooves. "Latency Jam"'s stoic groove has spacey synth, rapid-fire hi-hats and bubblegum melodies. "Waffle Cut" is another sun-oozing tune held together by infectious clap-along drums and a rumbling synth bass. "Klauz Dyter Meier Kybranz Hat Mit Diesem Track Nichts Zutun! Er Kennt Dieses Lied Nichtmal - Very Extended Version" is thirteen minutes long and drops in tempo - from 70 to 30 BPM, luring the listener into a deep meditation.

DJ Assam's 8040 EP showcases his deep and textured productions. In between slightly skipping grooves, atmospheric chords and thumping basslines, DJ Assam manages to create an atmosphere that offers just the right tension between seductive warmth and dark melancholy, between intimate proximity and distance, between uplifting groove and thoughtful introspection. It comes in a beautiful full-cover showing the deep forest of Lehult, as visual counterpart to the sounds of the EP. "7668" features Johan Kaseta.

180-gram 12". Eddie Ness produced his solo debut in the small red hut in the Swedish woods pictured on the label of Lucky Charmz's Follow Me to Flottbek Falls, the Lehult label's 2014 debut. "Ombré" is so cheerfully detached that the thumping, powerful groove is almost the only thing keeping the elements from unwinding in separate, psychedelic directions. The concentrated and moody "Afro" radiates some warmth from a place beyond the dancefloor, before the swelling pads and massaging bass of "Menjou." With his remix of "Ombré," Borrowed Identity effortlessly moves to the big room with wet, driving drums and merciless acid blips.

180-gram vinyl. The opener is a Johan Kaseta aka Gravity Hannes aka DJ Tapee Tapey Tape flip of an older DJ Assam aka Nizza Overload aka DJ Alley Loop tune. "Back Quality" is a bomb settling somewhere between early morning weirdness and deep and freaky warm-up game-changer. It's complemented by a storming Times Are Ruff remix -- drums, drums, drums. "Kord Dreyer" is a triple-combo of Johan Kaseta, DJ Assam, and Liem aka Lars Lavendel aka Fatso Frolunda -- a straightforward groove affair, were it not for those unsettling, beautiful chords and the sudden change of mood during the break.

180-gram vinyl. Lehult follows Lucky Charmz' acclaimed 2014 Follow Me to Flottbek Falls EP (LHLT 001EP) with Let's Get Playa, introducing Liem (pictured on the cover, gin and tonic in hand), Eddie Ness, and Johan Kaseta (infamous for his wild one-deck DJ sets). They all take their shots in mixed couplets: "Bassforce XXL" delivers an uplifting chord progression and a fruity, dynamic bassline; "M-Trax" revolves around the same sunlit feeling but plunges deeper with swirling birdsong melodies and raw, thumpin' drums 'n' congas. "Let's Get Playa" is a seductive cut of low-slung breezy house that doesn't fail to surprise.

Follow Me to Flottbek Falls by Lucky Charmz is released on the Lehult label. These four cuts are organic, spontaneous, and most of all, fun. It's house music to dance to, dry as fuck, warm and cozy. "Corneria" is a splash of funk, body-moving, dancefloor-embracing, with a bass line shot straight from the hip. "Tonic" is bittersweet, as tonic is -- zesty, with limey stabs that come out of nowhere. "Flupen" is a jazzy cut that goes easy on the ears, and "560 sl" encompasses the previous three and takes the whole EP on the road into a late, northern sunset.
