LISTEN: Innergaze, “Mutual Dreaming”

April 18th, 2012 | File Under: Listen | Leave A Comment

Cititrax, the sister imprint of Minimal Wave Records, has finally released its first proper LP. Unlike the Z-Factor reissue that launched the label in 2008, Mutual Dreaming is a completely new album from Innergaze. Although you wouldn’t know from the sound of it; as last heard on a 12” for 100% Silk, the Brooklyn duo has that whole murky Chris & Cosey sound down to a science.

Have a listen to the title track below, and be sure to grab one of just 999 limited vinyl copies direct from the source here…

LONG PLAYER OF THE DAY: In Trance 95, ‘Cities of Steel and Neon’

February 15th, 2012 | File Under: Long Player of the Day | Leave A Comment

The Artist/Album: In Trance 95, Cities of Steel and Neon (Minimal Wave, 2011)

A Short Review: Minimal Wave’s quality control quotient is always high, and this collection of 4-track tape recordings is no exception. Limited to just 999 hand-numbered LPs, it’s a steel-plated survey of Greece’s greatest minimal-synth surgeons—a duo that howls and heaves their way across a field of metronomic melodies and battery-powered EBM beats. No wonder why Depeche Mode’s Alan Wilder asked In Trance 95 to reform for a Recoil gig a few years ago. Now all we need is a new album.

NEEDLE EXCHANGE 075: An Exclusive Mix By … Xeno & Oaklander

October 25th, 2011 | File Under: Needle Exchange | 2 comments

Words and Mix by Xeno & Oaklander

We’ve selected demos and forlorn tracks from the minimal electronics past for this mix that resurrects gems from Russia, Sweden, France, the UK and Germany. These are songs that friends have shared with us over the years by way of compilation K7s and hand-scribbled homemade CD-Rs. They litter our home studio, and have come in all colors and shapes; our all-time favorites are the mysterious all-black disks, and the highly impractical, wallet-sized mini CD-R…

While self-titled certainly doesn’t field the same amount of mail we did five years ago, our ungrateful office still gets lots of free shit. With that in mind, we’ve decided to rename Record Store Day “Record Store Year” and support our favorite shops with impulse buys every single week. Here are some of our favorite finds from this past weekend, including some literal Record Store Day releases…

1MM: Three Drinks Past Drunk and Oscillations Stays Up All Night at Tribeca Grand With Memory Tapes, Tanlines, Minimal Wave and XXXchange

Shitty photos of our free Oscillations party last night at Tribeca Grand? Oh, we’ve got plenty. New York turned out in force to catch Memory Tapes’ first headlining show as a live band. We couldn’t tell what surprised modest Tapes-guy Dayve Hawk more: that 1,000 people RSVP’d to see him, or that the crowd packed onto the floor and danced itself into a sweaty mess during the set of crisp, propulsive and impressively polished drummer-backed tracks from Seek Magic. Big thanks as well to Minimal Wave’s Veronica Vasicka, the Tanlines dudes (thank you for not making good on your promise to play an all-ska set), XXXchange, GrandLife and the Pop Manifesto.
