Apparat – DJ-Kicks (Review)

Apparat

DJ-Kicks

Released by !K7


German-born and Berlin resident Sascha Ring, also known by his more recognizable name, Apparat, has had one of the most consistent electronic artist careers to date.  With his knack for beautiful compositions and sonic artisanship, Apparat has developed a unique style of his own through a synesthetic blend of ambient, downtempo, techno, glitch and even trip-hop elements. Having an exceptionally bright solo career, his work with Modeselektor last year under the name Moderat was more than exceptional, combining parallel electronic directions into one unique and inspired project that demonstrated ...

Joshua Eustis on Telefon Tel Aviv Partner Charles Cooper’s Overdose

It came as a devastating surprise when Charles Cooper of Telefon Tel Aviv died earlier this year, and now Joshua Eustis is opening up about Charlie in Anti-Gravity Magazine.

Telefon Tel Aviv’s Charlie Cooper RIP

So sad, so so sad to have to report this, but one half of brilliant Chicago-based Telefon Tel Aviv, Charlie Cooper, passed away five days ago. Sad this is because I had the pleasure of working with a 2007 remix compilation by the duo and through them became absolutley obessed with Apparat (the boys had given devine treatment to the track Komponent, HIGHLY recommended!), Ellen Alien, and a whole brilliant world of minimal tech that is arrising today. Sad this is because ‘Immolate Yourself’, the band’s 2009 LP, basically is a masterpiece, really just a stunning record I wish everyone could hear and feel. Highly appropo it is I suppose that at 31 Cooper would leave such a timeless piece of work to enjoy.

Having basically become to sad to speak at this point, I encourage each …

Telefon Tel Aviv – Immolate Yourself (Review)

Telefon Tel Aviv

Immolate Yourself



Chicago-based Telefon Tel Aviv has appealed to many since their inception: with simplistic yet magnificently complex constructions that made them darlings in certain circles. Their first two adventures, Fahrenheit Fair Enough and Immediate Action #8 stand out as their most accomplished releases, where they generated their unique sound and rooted themselves as a competent ambient electronic act. Their forthcoming effort, Immolate Yourself picks up exactly where they left off, with a sound much more mature and textured'coming complete with its owned imagined world'fully equipped with freeform dynamism ...
