Adjunct US Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Adjunct brings you Apendics Shuffle's 'Mass Reduction'. This is an energetic and magnetic dancefloor number dedicated to the real freaks who are looking for lively techno.

Review: Ken Gibson back and has clearly been listening approvingly to the fun Boogizm have been having these last couple of years with their blend of drizzled acid and spannered environments. "Lonely Payback" is positively brimming with the woozy, hazing feel of the witching hours at early morning sessions. Relentless like, there's no turning back, and certainly no regrets. The remix by Papa Sang Bass revisits the topside after a sneaky shot of adrenochrome, and "Simply Candid" puts its head down and fair charges at the finishing post! Rude techno from Echo Park, California.

Review: Following the prodigious success of the Dilo vs. Gurtz 12", "Tundra", Adjunct is proud to present a remix package. The project was intended for digital release only but once all remixes arrived Adjunct HQ reconsidered. The tracks have been in circulation in Los Angeles for a while now and we cannot find better words than what these celebrities had to say about the record:

"Will play this record in all my sets!" DJ AM PM.

"Dope, dope, dope!" Tom Sizemore.

Review: Max Wending (aka Paradroid) after releasing on class label Boogizm, takes techfunk to the next level of abstraction for Adjunct.

Review: Enigmatic Chilean producer Jorge Cortes has spent the past years keeping busy with perplexing sound design, abstract techno production and a low profile maintenance. He is now beginning to reap the fruits of his labour, records already appearing on Winsome Music, Citymorb Music and Plong. Adjunct HQ had the pleasure to listen to a fine selection of his work and are happy to announce his 12" debut on the label - "Siete Vidas". The title track is a peculiar sound collage, composed of playful percussion, quaint synth pads and an over-swung patterns of Jorge's unique sound collection. This cinematic theme piece sends a friendly wink to John Carpenter from another century. For the remix [A]pendics.Shuffle injects a hefty doze of energy into the original and takes it for a spin through the clouds over echo park. In his version "Siete Vidas" floats like an over-bloated Zeppelin discotheque crowded with jiggly rhythms and bamboozling harmonies. On side B "Rumba" - an extraneous funk extravaganza moves with stagger making its way through a number of layers of anomalous sonics and extra-shuffled patterns. "Plataforma" obeys the protocol laid down by the previous track. This time Jorge runs dangerously high voltage through his drum machine, conjures up some Latin magic and counterfeits jazz organ and horn stubs.

Review: Peter F Spiess known for his fantastic releases on Klang, Contexterrior and his own label of Mystery Alpha, has now joined the Adjunct Clan with his first 12" entitled "Wortkarg". A descent deep into the starry summer nights. Frisky and mischievous "Scissors Tailed Fly Catcher" chirps miniature sounds and organ stubs sending the gracious king bird sky high though windy filter sweeps and through bubbly sine-wave clouds. "Frog In Hand" wobbles in an electromechanical dance, filtered bass and drums, loopy synths and samples laying down the theme to the miniature vaudeville of the amphibians. The title-track "Wortkarg" is a deep techno emission that comes slicing through vapours of analog oscillations, making its way deeper and deeper into a dark vortex where the only light seen are microscopic fireworks of high frequency sonic particles. Ambient "Spielmacher" ends the records with never growing cosmic pulsation, estranged percussion play and the friction within an unfamiliar matter of low viscosity.

Review: A moody and contemplative three tracker from Mikael Stavöstrand marks the coming of the solstice of the summer of Adjunct. Wavering layers of misty drones and vulnerable synth patterns comprise "Kongo", a microscopic zodiac of scattered thoughts the poet reveals fate in entropy. "Compliments" tiptoes in weightless serenity only to be kidnapped, drugged and taken to the outer-most ring of the saw tooth primitives. Deceptively entitled, "Discomerde" is the last bead on Mikael's abacus. Never to produce a solid integer, but rather to open a tiny window with a view of his inspiraled galaxy.

Review: The second 12" collaboration between Ken Gibson and Mikael Stavostrand brings two more liberated compositions to our listeners. "Take Me Higher" takes itself further out beyond the world of freestyle electronic music tethered by a 4/4 beat, and leaves itself there. Guest vocalist Erika Alexandersson provides late night melancholy, her voice echoing from a small box in a lonely narrative of preconscious poetry. Tejada's remix builds on the solid rhythmic foundation of the original track, bypasses the cognitive process and directly permeates the cerebellum, effectively luring the listener into aurally-induced hypnosis.

Review: Apendics Shuffle comes back with his blend of glitchy tech-house in the vein of Someone Else and Butane. A playful and celebratory jazzfunkjam with a bassdrum that wants to make the world a better place.
