50Weapons Announces Cosmin TRG’s “Gordian” LP

Cosmin TRG had a fairly quiet 2012, but that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t busy. The Romanian producer unveiled plans for an upcoming album this week, due out on 50Weapons on April the 26th. Of the album, titled “Gordian“, Cosmin had the following to say: “Gordian is as much a document of my past year as it is the beginning of a conversation. The title references an ancient myth, but describes the very contemporary, impossible task of discerning between real and replicated, authentic and contrived. Coping with facts, objects, and bodies, the necessity of ‘making it’, fear of failure, fear of ‘not being happy’ are today’s topics, and Gordian is my attempt at an exploration of those issues.” Presale is already available for CD and limited vinyl, and you can stream the first snippet called “Noise Code” below.

Bambounou Exclusive Mix (Podcast)


With our final podcast of 2012 being a truly personal honor to share with you all, we give you the vibes of Jeremy Guindo aka Bambounou, at his finest. To say Bambounou took over this year would be an understatement, as not only did the Parisian producer have his most extensive year with releases, but he crossed over to the world of techno (just barely) with his debut LP, Orbiting, which was just released last month on Modeselektor’s 50WEAPONS imprint. Guindo is obviously looking towards the past and the future when it comes to his music and mixing, considering that this is the only beginning of an intriguing career for the young producer. And with the mix he’s given us to close out 2012 as well as our chat with him, we’re certainly looking forward to what’s coming up for Bambounou. Check out the mix, interview and tracklist down below.

Bambounou Announces Debut Album “Orbiting”

Modeselektor’s 50Weapons label continued to expand its roster in 2012 with the addition of 22-year-old producer Bambounou this August, with the release of his “Cobe” EP – a much larger-scale release, in every sense of the word, since his very well-received “Alpha” EP on Youngunz in mid-2011. On November 23rd the young Parisian will release his debut full-length on the same label. The album, called “Orbiting,” takes into account Bambounou’s wide range of influences under one encompassing theme: space. He says he began the process with quite a minimal approach, and eventually ended up with a variety of different tracks, all under an umbrella of 90s house and techno mixed with “some kind of bass music.” Follow the jump to hear a preview of one of the tracks, called “Any Other Service.”
