5 albums to start the year with



Oath Records is excited to announce the release of Jascha Hagen's third LP, "Songs for a Future Generation." Hagen is known for pushing the boundaries of the House and Deep House genres, incorporating elements of Downtempo and Techno to create a unique sound that is constantly evolving. With a discography spanning over a decade, Hagen has developed a reputation for crafting immersive and balanced musical experiences. His previous releases, including "Harmonies Romantiques" and "A Touch of Cold Water," showcase his ability to seamlessly move between different parts of the auditory spectrum and fill in the gaps between them. "Songs for a Future Generation" is no exception, featuring uptempo tracks like "QQQ" and "Slide Through the Valley" alongside slower, introspective cuts like "Rivers of Absence," "Too Far," and "Swaying." The album also includes more experimental tracks like "L7 Dreams," "Gem," and "XX Blues," all of which showcase Hagen's innovative approach to creating music that is both conceptual and deeply satisfying. "Songs for a Future Generation" is the latest addition to Hagen's impressive body of work and is sure to be a must-listen for fans of constantly evolving House music.

Slikback, a musician based in Nairobi, Kenya, has released a new album titled K E K K A N. The album features 10 experimental, club-ready tracks, building on the success of Slikback's earlier EPs such as FINAL_, TYPE_, 22122, and TIER. Slikback, also known as Freddy M Njau, gained recognition with the release of his debut EP, Lasakaneku, on the Hakuna Kulala label, an offshoot of Nyege Nyege Tapes. He has since become one of the label's most successful artists.

Since their debut LP "GLP," we've known that the two take a slightly different approach when working on their duo project than when working under their own solo personas. Straight, technoid techno with lots of rhythm and amusing melodies is what Green Lake Project is known for. And they did "Thrust" to perfection by doing just that. We embark on an exciting voyage that takes us across strange galaxies and to the very edge of the cosmos. The CD is referred to by GLP as "Space Techno," and I won't argue with that. Synthesizers that pulse above our heads are like lasers, while funky percussionists zip past us like little comets. We occasionally hear seductive, extraterrestrial vocals that eventually convince us that we are no longer on Earth.

Electronic music is just one of the many genres of music that have a long history in Miami. This compilation, which includes classics of house music as well as IDM and the fathers of hip hop, aims to demonstrate what we've stood for over the past 30 years. We've always loved our city, and we want to emphasise how we've all impacted one another. The current generation is advancing things while maintaining the bar that earlier generations established. This collection might make it easier to understand where we've come from and where we're headed.

ARTIST / BAND: BUSSES

MP3: Stationary

ALBUM: Busses

FILE UNDER: Classic Rock / Punk / Progressive

LABEL: s/r

INFO: Philadelphia three-piece, Busses, announce the national release of their self-released, self-titled debut album, Tuesday, July 27th.

Drawing from the wells of classic rock, prog, jazz, and punk, their aim is to marry an eccentric approach to instrumentation with the comfort of a songwriter’s voice. The results are anthemic, as well as swooning. Kinetic, while suspended. Seven songs that rock with a confidence not seen often enough. While hints of Television, Animal Collective & Built To Spill may pop into your head, this band invites you in with a sound all enticingly their own.

That studio effort was later scrapped and in June 2006 the band instead released 34:26, a live improv set that showed its great range of talents and influences. By fall of 2006, Zechs was touring the west coast consistently, sharing the stage with such eclectic acts as Daedelus, Busdriver, The Album Leaf, (DJ) Nobody, Daddy Kev, The Gaslamp Killer, and Totimoshi.
