The Zengineers consist of Phour Trakk and Sick-E who formed the band in 2005. After having produced truckloads of tracks and beats on their own they decided to finally join forces in the probably vain attempt to save the world from whack muzak. Their influences range from electronic music in general to Hip Hop, Jazz, Trip Hop, Worldmusic and Drum and Bass, an eclectic mixture heavily influencing their own production-style.
NEW ALBUM: SICK-E - GENOTYPE JAZZ
Progress seems to be the very nature of the universe as we know it. All living things are ever moving and changing, striving for something just a step beyond the horizon. Nevertheless, sometimes it is a good idea to come to a halt in this evolutionary rat race, turn around and ponder how we got here in the first place. This is why Sick-E has been taking some time off his musical flagship that is the Zengineers for a trip down memory lane, resulting in an LP that takes the listener back into the musical past in a number of ways. With Genotype Jazz, Sick-E gives a nod and a bow to the icons of mid-90s triphop that first introduced him to the possibilities of non-analogue music. And in a way quite similar to the likes of DJ Krush, RJD2 or The Herbalizer he also pays homage to the half-forgotten realms of old jazz and funk sounds, wrapped in heart-warming pops and crackles. On a different level, Genotype Jazz also harks back to the first tracks the Zengineers produced as a newly formed team back in 2005. In this spirit the album hovers from moody and atmospheric downtempo beats to re-assembled funkbreaks and back, sometimes even venturing into pop territory, with a distinct jazzy vibe telling you that you are still on track. And of cause at the very end it delivers the obligatory co-production with Zengineer’s Phour Trakk, linking it all back to the musical present and future.
NEW ALBUM OUT NOW: "PHOUR TRAKK - SLIP INTO SOMETHING MORE COMFORTABLE"
When the god of small things and the Indian goddess of music get together, then Phour Trakk might be the cause. After his previous side trip to the roaring maze of western metropolises, he packs his bags again in order to leave eastbound while in his mind he has already arrived there. And it goes without saying that he has remembered to slip into clothes both typical for the country and comfortable.
Consequently, his fourth EP on iD.EOLOGY comes along in a guise just as colourful, elegant and rich in texture as a dhoti by Manish Malhotra. Hilarious Bollywood-style vocals meet earthy downbeats, eastern harmonies contrast smoky blue-notes and breezy tabla-rhythms blend with deep fretless basses heavy as lead. While the memories of the skyscrapers' silhouettes slowly fade, all these details, all these small things coalesce to generate a wistful anticipation of a far-away culture.
Before fascination and rapture now make you light a candle and start making oblations to the gods, you might as well slip into something more comfortable and give this e.p. another thorough listen or two. After all, Phour Trakk has hidden quite a few more niceties for the attentive listener. Or was this, too, the god of small things in the end?
NEW DOUBLE ALBUM OUT NOW! ZENGINEERS - The Return of Intelligence: Yamiyo & Hikari
If you have a mission to fulfill, you might be well-advised to activate a network of supporters. In the case of Zengineers the mission is to revive a musical language written off by many with some new content.
A network, consisting of the netlabels iD.EOLOGY and musicartistry, is already there to back them up. And so their dichotomic approach to the question whether these days there still is anything left to say on the topic of drum'n'bass bestows upon us a netaudio-premiere in the shape of a double-album release divided upon two netlabels. "Hikari" and "Yamiyo" act complementary to one another in style and content and yet the two halves unite 24 tracks, on which Zengineers easily recombine genre characteristics of past and present days with stylistic tidbits from synthpop-vocals to world-music-vibes and jazz-elements.

Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
To celebrate our first 27 releases on Section 27 Netlabel, we proudly present to you "Sectioned", a compilation of 27 tracks, amounting to 2 hours across two discs of twisted electronic beats, discordant melodies, haunting passages, broken ambience, bending senses of time and space, microscopic glitches, pounding bass frequencies, sounds between sounds, the human voice and the audible sensation of music dissolving in acid. This is the sound of your mind's eye. This is the sound of the Sectioned... Strap yourself in and enjoy the experience.
Also features a 75 minute bonus disc "Sectioned : Nonimxs", including 9 remixes of selected Section 27 artists by Nonima and 2 original tracks created by Silent Snow and Nina Kardec using existing Nonima tracks.

Musikalisch macht sich das Duo GROOVELASTIG zur Aufgabe, Elektronik mit einem breit gefächerten Live-Instrumentarium (Gitarre, Kontrabass, Vocals, Percussion) zu organischen, club-orientierten Tracks zu verschmelzen.
Wenn die drei Kölner Musiker THE SMACK die Bühne betreten, machen Vinyl und Laptop ihre wohlverdiente Pause. Alles, was es für eine Stunde Ekstase braucht, sind Drums, Keyboards und Bassgitarre. Pumpende Four-to-the-Floor Beats gepaart mit treibenden Bässen und fetten Synthi-Riffs. Ausrasten und Abspacken ausdrücklich erwünscht!
