JASON FINE "Future Thought (Part One)"
The dance music producer today can, to categorize, be divided into two types. First we have the producer, and this is the majority - who skillfully manipulate sound to satisfy dance floors and clubs. Then there is the musician - a person who transforms human thought and emotion into music. This is the category that best describes Jason. What comes out of his studio is always something very personal and special. The sounds are old school but the outcome is so much Jason’s own, that if feels very fresh and new. On Future Thought, the follow up the much acclaimed album, Our Music is a Secret Order – released on Kontra-Musik in 2008, Jason once again sets his mind to spin, this time towards the future, and out comes electronic music full of human presence. Or as Jason Fine puts it: “I am constantly thinking about the future, future of technology, humanity and the earth. So this series of tracks is an auditory representation of my future thought.” -Kontra..
FRAK "Fusion in Park"
By now, Frak needs no formal introduction. Let's just say they are the Swedish House Mafia for people who actually know what house music is. Lately, there has been somewhat of a surge in house and techno influenced by synth, ebm and obscure sub-genres that end with ”-wave”. So the timing couldn't be better for Frak to return to Kontra-Musik with this remarkable synth and acid flavored release. This is of course a bit ironic as no-one could possibly care less about trends and hypes than Frak and Kontra-Musik. Time is an illusion. Our music, however, is not. But it may flabbergast you all the same. Machines drifting away is an intriguing piece of music; straightforward and multi-layered; futuristic and old school. The first half of the track molds itself around an ebm-like bassline which seems to be moving through a desolate landscape with hard hitting kicks, claps and drums marching on beside it, while the sky above is filled with the wails of brooding synths. The second part introduces..

AKHIEZER "Foch Reflection Ep"

Kondens & Norman Nodge "First Cut EP"
Kondens is a collaboration between Swedish electronic music veterans Andreas Tilliander (Mille Plateaux/Force Inc, Raster-Noton and Repeatle) and Stefan Thor aka Folie (Mitek). The sound is a hybrid of techy dubstep with a twist and banging dub-influenced techno. Pure peak time bliss without losing the love for dub and tape delays. The vinyl debut, First Cut EP, includes a stunning deep techno remix signed Norman Nodge. -Kontra ..
PORN SWORD TOBACCO & SVN "Feels Good"
Porn Sword Tobacco and SVN return to Kontra-Musik for another untouchable release far off the beaten techno track. Trying anxiously to get with whatever is fashionable right now has never been Kontra-Musik's way of doing things, and the same goes for Porn Sword Tobacco and SVN. That's why we're such a good match. The A-side consists of an eleven minutes scuba dive into the deep. The water is warm and pleasant and bright colored fishes in all shapes and sizes are swimming all around you, creating an abundance of shimmering bubbles. You'll be amazed by all the micro-rhythms and deep basses down here, but as you descend further down the scenery changes: The water gets cooler and more acidic and the sea life stranger and less gaudy. But there are still glitchy rhythms and bubbly basses everywhere in the dark, so keep going.As you touch down on bottom of the sea, you'll hit the B-side. You'll need both your feet down here, because here comes the kick drum and it's in good company. The beat ..
INDIAN JEWELRY "Fake And Cheap"
"Indian Jewelry plays the kind of music I want to hear in my head during sex, invoking visions of wild animals-a lunging cobra, a snarling mountain lion-and erupting volcanoes. Mortal coil be damned! It was a full-on spiritual ascension, a powwow hosted by the kind of people you don't want to fuck with-the kind of people who make me think bands are cool again." Liz Armstrong, Chicago Reader, 2005...
THIS OTHER SPACE "Eye Of The Cosmic "
Really cool off-trend techno / house stuff.Some melodic and other more monotonous.Behind this alias is the Stockholm guy Patricio Cabezas.Proffessionally used artist in quite totally different "musical World"Recomended!..
TM404 "Endor Trico"
You know that warm feeling of anticipation, standing on a platform waiting for the train to bring a loved one home to you? That’s what a new Tilliander record is like for Kontra-Musik. After releasing the monumental Chill Out album under Andreas’ Mokira moniker, we took a rather different approach this time, opting for the White Label. Even though the title ’Endor’ has nothing to do with the Ewok-inhabited Forest Moon in the Star Wars saga, it’s still a decisively green and verdant track, filled with all the sounds of a dense forest. ’Trico’ is the quiet lake deep within this forest; a serene spot inhabited with dragonflies, great white pelicans and slinky salamanders that curiously look a bit like Richie Hawtin during his Moby era. We simply love this place and hope that you will too. -Kontra-Musik ..
JONSSON & ALTER "En Melodi"

BAD DUDES "Eat Drugs"
The music on this LP, Bad Dudes second, can easily be tagged as party prog, math rocks more care free cousin. I know that the term is a tad overused by now, but the rush of joy that comes from these brilliant tunes knocks me over in a convincing way every time. With a big grin on my face I sit back and take it, totally amazed. The title song on ”Eat Drugs” is one of this years most played songs at the office, but that said, this entire album proves that Bad Dudes seems to have nothing but great songs in them. We’re on the verge to play this one to bits. The confident pop sensibility, the shifty time signatures with nothing to prove, the small outbursts of warm, comforting noise and the total freak-out rock bits gives us ”Eat Drugs”: the thinking mans frat party soundtrack. -dLTD..

STILETTI-ANA "Cymbals"
Dance in a Dream techno. Sleep in a Dream ambient. Very cinematic, tunnel visioned & on-going arpeggiated synth-techno in two versions by Stiletti-Ana (half of Jesse from last years Twotinos LP on Keys of Life). A-side with steady kick and feedbacked percussions riding through a deep, analogic, cloudy and live drummed landscape. B-side highlights the scope with no drums, except the ever lasting cymbals. -Fett Distro..

JASON FINE "Colors"
All though more moody than previous releases, Jason Fine continues to play around with layered melodies and harmony mixed with raw and funky drum programming. The EP opens with the track Orange, a beautiful monotone organ based techno track, revealing hard times. Violet continues in the same vein. Blue melodies play around over minor organ chords and heavy kick drum. On the inner tracks Blue and Red Jason with confidence moves into the electro territory, still keeping emotion and atmosphere up front. Even though the concept behind this EP is the full color spectrum, the mood is all over blue. -Kontra..

DD/MM/YYYY "Black Square"
DD//MM//YYYY go on like a pop infused An Albatross with an old school Mae-Shi mentality, and suddenly they decide they’re not only loving complex rhythms, they go all out dance party! Sometimes in the same song. They might even touch down on some post-punk spot here and there too. Might sound like a lot to take in but hey, jam-packing your songs and album full of good stuff is not always a bad thing. Hell, I must say I like it. -dLTD..

RIVET "Bear Bile"
Rivet is back on Kontra-Musik with a classy funk affair that will be luring us ever deeper into dancefloor delirium.It is a matured Rivet we meet on Bear Bile EP. The complexity of sound and composition of his latest EP, Driftwood continues here. Sometimes we hear Rivet complain that his production and release rate is to slow. When listening to his resent music you definitely understand why. Rivets music contains all the classic elements, but decomposed, manipulated and built together again in his own updated, very distinguished way.Bear Bile Pt 1 is the most straightforward track on the EP. An untraceable female vocal loops over distorted bass, a jazz piano lead and complex hand played rhythms. Before ending the Rivet signature is entering, a melancholic melody to contrast against the raw distorted funk. - The "string" in the end is, as usual with my tracks, a trumpet. I love working with those, they naturally sit so perfectly in the mix because of their narrow but spiky frequency ran..
HARMONIOUS THELONIOUS "Background Noise"
After releasing a brilliant and stomping three-tracker on Kontra-Musik White Label last year, ex-Durian Brother Harmonious Thelonious returns to the Kontra-Musik family with an absolute gem of a record. This is everything we want dance music to be: characterful, playful and impossibly funky. Harmonious Thelonious is a master of crafting organic sounding rhythms but arranging them in a manner that reminds one of a 1970’s car factory. Primal pulses running through modern assembly lines, gears and pistons covered in green lianas. The result is a perfect symbiosis between living tissue and mechanical parts – dance music for primitive cyborgs. -Kontra-Musik..
