Yes it´s time again, ITK is back with a full show with moderation by Mohak and everything! She is back from her extensive trip to Argentina and Uruguay, has her mic back and hence the show gets some info transmitted next to bouncy music. Lots of new dubs and glitch tunes, some older dancehall classics plus a guest mix from Berlin´s Neokortex! This one will definitely get you started for the week-end, if you are planning on heading to Sub:Stance at Berghain afterwards.

Congolese Wrestler wearing ITK! Only to be found there.

The 6-person-collective has been making waves in the UK since they presented an astonishing audio-visual interactive show at Bridgnorth Festival. They have been working hard on their first release "Subterranean", which comes out tomorrow February 28th on ITK. Further down I posted their artist bio already, so have a look at the wide range of things this multimedia collective is doing, apart from releasing extremely well produced analog sounds ranging from Detroit Techno to Berghain big room bangers. Don´t sleep on this one!

The cover foto was taken by fellow photographer Martyn (MJS), who is specialized on urban exploration pic´s in abandoned warehouses, forgotten hospitals, train stations and the like. It´s well worth checking his flickr account for more arty pictures of this sort!

We are delighted to announce our new addition to the label, analog experimental techno team Urban Exploration from Leeds! Their 4-track EP "Subterranean" is coming out the 28th of February with two haunting athmospheric downtempo tracks and two bangers straightly designed for Berghain. Yes, that´s how we roll! Keep your eyes peeled for this very special 6-person audio-visual collective! Someone had to raise the bars at some point. 

The video below is from a performance at the Bridgnorth Festvial in 2011.

Urban Exploration is an audio/visual collective from Leeds, UK. The group currently consists of six artists who come together to collaborate on various projects, including running experimental music events, creating short films and video for VJing, making field recordings in abandoned buildings, performing improvised synthesizer music and producing banging techno and electro tracks. 

The group place great importance on improvising as much of their music as possible, and regularly meet up to jam on their large collection of home-made modular synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, tape echo units, stompboxes, and synchronised laptops. Every track starts off life as a live jam, with little processing used to turn them into finished pieces of music, giving Urban Exploration's tunes a dense, lo-fi quality, with many unexpected twists and turns.  

Influenced as much by dub, ambient and noise artists as they are dance music, Urban Exploration's musical output often focuses on the creation of intense soundscapes, that then evolves to include heavy techno or industrial beats as the music progresses. Their live shows are often completely improvised with no-one really knowing where they will be taken next. The addition of live VJing and audience interaction make their live shows and events unique experiences. They always aim to balance their experimental sound design and working methods with accessible melody and vigorous dancefloor workouts. 

Dolomites` "8Bit Balkan" EP just got charted, okey not just but in October, by Kosta Kostov and made place 7 on his Juno DJ Charts, speeding up to the front BEFORE Schlachthofbronx, Buraka Som Sistema and Analogik. Can you believe???!!!

Then Dolomites` "In Mid-Flight 723" got into this live mix from Andy Kisaragi at the TRANSCONTINENTAL EXTRAVAGANZA party at Arc in Bristol, 26th November 2011. 

And last but not least, Mimi The Hedgehog´s "Full On" from the "Waiting the Summer" EP got some fame on HotRod´s awesome weekly show at New Jersey´s WFMU station, among a couple of very interesting other artists!

Listen back here.

Thanx so much for the support from all. It means a lot!
