Artist DAT Politics
Title Mad Kit
Label Chicks On Speed
I got this bit of info from the DAT politics site, and I’ve put it up here verbatim cos it sounds so ace, including all the cute bits with wonky spelling:
"France favorite electro chiptune pioneers DAT politics did it again !! This brand new album brings a kind of straight beat propulsion in their gloriously catchy, melodic and eminently danceable music. An express shot of playful, booty, shaking dance synth pop ripe with digitalized vocals , distorded breaks and electric frequencies which put them on a luxury spot in the international electronic map. Mad Kit creates its own hyperactiv sound and a solid body of tracks that should be in heavy rotation and rock the brain dance parties all over the world."

Artist Dan Deacon
Title Bromst
Label Carpark
The capricious composer/techno wunderkind Dan Deacon’s ’Bromst’ sees him expand on his avant-garde roots and deliver an album of more accessible but still-intriguing electronic songs.

Artist DEAF CENTER
Title Owl Splinters
Label TYPE
* PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LIMITED VINYL EDITION COMES WITH A BONUS 45 MINUTE ALBUM (on CD) OF EXTRA MATERIAL

* In contrast to Skodvin and Totland’s previous work, ‘Owl Splinters’ was recorded in a studio setting (Nils Frahm’s Durton studio, to be exact), and the lo-fidelity, haphazard techniques of their early recordings are now all but gone. With the benefit of some high-end engineering and analogue equipment, Skodvin and Totland’s murky compositions have been transformed from sketches into glorious widescreen spectacles. The blackened, scraping tone of Skodvin’s strings ring out on the album’s opener ‘Divided’ before seismic bass drones push up from beneath with a cacophonous, earthy clarity. This is the same Deaf Center we fell in love with all those years ago, but bigger and more powerful than ever before.

Artist Dean and Britta
Title 13 Most Beatiful Songs for Andy Warhol
Label Double Feature
Limited Edition of 3,000, 12 page booklet with liner notes by Dean Wareham and still images from films by Andy Warhol. This project was initially commissioned by the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Dean & Britta created 13 songs and instrumentals to perform live in a multimedia show, with Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests projected on a large screen above the band as they play. The screen tests are short, silent portrait films made by Warhol at the Factory between 1964 and 1966 -- of actors, dancers, artists, and Factory regulars. Each film is 4:15 in length. Dean & Britta selected 13 subjects (including Dennis Hopper, Nico, Lou Reed) and recorded 8 songs and 5 instrumentals for them. These are original studio recordings, produced by Dean & Britta, with additional remixes by Scott Hardkiss, Sonic Boom (MGMT, Spacemen 3) and My Robot Friend. Songs are a mix of originals and covers including Bob Dylan’s I’ll Keep It With Mine and the Velvet Underground’s Not a Young Man Anymore. 

Artist Deerhoof
Title Deerhoof Vs. Evil
Label ATP
’Deerhoof Vs. Evil’ is the tenth studio release from San Francisco outfit Deerhoof. The band, formed in 1994, recorded the whole album independently in basements and practice spaces. The freedom of self-recording allowed them to experiment with each other’s instruments and results in a polished and innovative record. Including an obscure cover of a Greek instrumental soundtrack ’Let’s Dance The Jet’, the album indicates a coming of age for the band.

Vinyl Edition [180g Pink LP on ATP/R]

Artist Delphic
Title Acolyte
Label Polydor

Snapped up by major label Polydor after hyped 12" releases on uber-hip French electro label Kitsune and revered techno imprint R&S, the band seamlessly integrate contemporary house, trance and techno elements into their catchy pop-rock sound. Produced by Ewan Pearson (Gwen Stefani, Tracy Thorn), the album includes the singles ’Doubt’, ’Counterpoint’ and ’This Momentary’.

Label Tigersushi
Tigersushi goes Post-Punk! DJ morpheus picks the best in industrial and early electro. Ft. Heaven 17, Shreikback annd Einsturzende Neubauten.

Artist DJ ROC
Title The Crack Capone
Label Planet Mu
Over the course of the album’s 20 tracks, DJ Roc shows off his brilliant high-speed sparse manipulations of rhythm, space and sound; as in the dancehall influenced tracks such as opener ‘One Blood’ or ’Kill Da Bitch’ to tracks which mix a heavy techno influence like ‘Make Crack Like Dis‘ or mix it with Hip hop samples like ‘King Of The Circle. Then there are tracks that mix smooth soul with double-speed like ‘I Can’t Control The Feeling’, to tracks which have more of a classic Juke feel like ‘ Get Buck Jones’ and ‘DJ Roc Symphony’. The album is full of brilliant production and original ideas.

Artist DJ Shadow
