Tresor Records Signs Rod Modell (a.k.a DeepChord) for New Album

Tresor Records will release the latest album of Rod Modell (a.k.a DeepChord), Captagon.

The nine-track album comes under Modell’s birth name, one of several aliases he’s used over the years. Much of the Detroit artist’s recent work has leaned towards drone and ambient sounds, but this new album extends Modell’s essential vision within techno.

Bandcamp Launches Crowdfunded Vinyl Pressing Service

Bandcamp has announced a new crowdfunding service to press vinyl.

The service will provide an avenue for artists and labels to create a vinyl campaign with no up-front investment while streamlining the financing, production, and fulfillment of vinyl records. The label or artist will set the pricing and profit margins and once a campaign reaches its minimum goal, Bandcamp will press and ship the vinyl record directly to fans. The company also says they’re working with a manufacturer with “over 60 years experience producing vinyl.”

The service will launch to all artists and labels later this year. You can check out a pilot program of the service here.

Premiere: Jus Jam’s New Track is Sun-Drenched Beat Cut Full of Swagger

Aparde Lines Up New Album on Christian Löffler’s Ki Records

Aparde will release a new album on Christian Löffler’s Ki Records, titled Hands Rest. 

Hands Rest is Paul Schröder’s second studio album, following 2017’s Glass, also on Ki Records. While reflecting the essence of Berlin’s club scene, the album also takes us into the depths of the musician himself, to a world that is both intimate and profound. As a result, it has the duality of an artist who is both entertaining Berlin’s nightlife through electronic sounds and delving deep into his own emotions through avant-garde pop. 

It was created over the span of one year after the breakup of a long relationship. “The process was very diffused in terms of time, because over the past year my life circumstances have been very complicated and often frustrating, and I had to motivate myself again and again,” Schröder recalls. “It [the break up] was accompanied by numbness and repression. This was followed by a period of inactivity and the thought of ending my activity as a musician.”

Plaid Reveal 10th Album for Warp

Plaid will release a new album via Warp in June, titled Polymer. 

Ed Handley and Andy Turner have been expanding the realm of electronic music as Plaid since they diverged from trio The Black Dog in the early ’90s. Today, after nine Warp albums, they stand alongside the likes of Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Nightmares on Wax as mainstays of the British label as it reaches its 30th anniversary. Their last LP, The Digging Remedy, arrived in 2016. 

Covering a wide range of emotions, influences, and inspirations, Polymer is “an album for modern times,” the label explains. Its creation was informed by a manifesto of polyphony, pollution, and politics, exploring themes of environment, synthetics, survival/mortality, and humanity’s (dis)connection.

“The problems and benefits of Polymers felt like good themes for this album, their repetitious strength, endurance and troubling persistence, the natural versus the synthetic, silk and silicone, the significant effect they have on our lives.”— Plaid
