Langer “Elements” out now

The final release of 2011 on Uncharted Audio comes in the shape of Langer‘s four track 12″ (and digital) EP, entitled “Elements”. This is the first Langer record since way back on UNCH002 and it doesn’t disappoint, showing off some serious techno and house sensibilities, with something of an edge. We’ve had some nice feedback on this from the likes of Slam, Craig Richards, John Tejada, Rolando, Fabrice Lig and plenty more – so you know it’s quality gear. As usual, the 12″ is available in all good record shops, distributed via Kudos from London to the world, and on all good digital stores too – but if you want both formats, your best bet as always is to head over to the UA shop, where you can mail order the 12″ and get the digital thrown in instantly at no extra cost. Everyone’s a winner. Have a listen:

Next up we’d like to thank everyone who came down to Ginglik for our 10th birthday party earlier this month. It was amazing!! Serious props to all the performers, helpers, liggers, guests etc who made sure it went off with a bang. And a special mention to Geoff Cowart for the press coverage and Emma Gutteridge for the photography. See a selection of her snaps from the night here.

As 2011 draws to a close we look forward to next year which will kick off with new releases from Ukkonen, who has recently remixed man of the moment Patten. We’d like to thank everyone for their continued support, particularly in these difficult times – we can’t do it without you. Finally, don’t forget you can catch Kone-R‘s fortnightly web radio show on the excellent Future Music – the next shows are on November 30th and December 14th and 28th. Previous shows are all archived here.

Thanks again and have a great festive period!

Cyan341 12″ release plus gig news

Cyan341 is about to drop a brand new 12″ on Uncharted. Released mid-October, you can pre-order the wax now from our shop and get a free download straight away. It will reach all other shops, both in physical and digital form, during the course of October. You can check the whole thing here:

And you can watch Stuart Bowditch’s rather marvelous video for “Disconnected” here:

In other hot news, it’s been 10 years since Uncharted came into being. Naturally we’re very pleased to have reached such a milestone and would like to thank everyone who’s supported us down the years – we can’t do it without you. To celebrate, we’re throwing a party at Ginglik in Shepherds Bush, a venue that has been pivotal to the label for a long time now. It’s on November 5th and as well as a host of live and DJ performances from acts on the label, we have a very special guest in the form of Oliver Ho – another bastion of West London’s electronic underground. Full details on the ‘live’ page.

Another gig we have to mention, also in Shepherds Bush, is the forthcoming Oxjam event on October 29th. Label boss Kone-R will be dj’ing at the Raving Buddha, but the event is spread across six local venues and goes on all day. Early bird wristbands are available, along with more info, here. Naturally it’s all for a good cause, so well worth giving your support!

More releases are just around the corner so hold tight!

Ukkonen 12″ is out now

A brand new record from a brand new signing! Ukkonen is a mysterious producer from the depths of the Arctic Circle, who has already started turning heads with his glacial and unusual style of techno. Whilst on first listen the sound is minimal and straightforward, repeated immersive listens highlight the underlying complexities and subtleties of this unique talent. The 12″ is a hand-stamped white label containing three tracks and is available in all good record shops now, worldwide distribution by Kudos Records. It’s also available direct from our shop – which is the only place you’ll also get a free, instant digital download with your purchase. Listen in full, here:

There’s only 200 copies of these and they are selling fast – (Phonica have already had stock twice and both times it sold out in just 24 hours, with Andy Weatherall among the purchasers) so don’t be one of those left with a sad face when the Ukkonen album drops on Uncharted later this year, as these tracks aren’t on it!
In the meantime you can also check out the following Ukkonen info-points:

New EP from The Council Flats of Kingsbury

The Council Flats of Kingsbury return to action with a new EP this week. Entitled “Fun In The Sun“, it pairs the lead track from the debut album (currently in use by Toyota for an online ad) with six brand new tracks. They say:

“Aside from the catchy psychedelic bossa nova ‘Fun in the Sun’, here we have a collection of autumnal wistfulness with a hint of teen vampire drama, ranging from the long and meditative to the stark and short.”

This is a digital-only release and it’s available from all good digital vendors now, including our fab new online store (where you can listen to the whole thing in full).

If you like the black stuff (we do), there’s also still a few copies of the album available on limited edition hand-numbered vinyl.

Cursor Miner Digital and Advert 3

If you’re the kind of person that likes their music in bits, Cursor Miner Requires Attention is now available directly from the Uncharted Audio shop in a variety of digital formats including mp3 and FLAC.

To celebrate, here’s the latest in our series of slightly ridiculous adverts. This one highlights some of the Celebrity VIP Special Guest Stars featured on Requires Attention.

Reviews are starting to arrive. Here’s one from those nice folk at Boomkat:

“Electronica maverick Cursor Miner deploys his fourth album, a journey into the lawless frontiers of pop music where just about anything can happen. Oddball opener ‘Reject’ is what you’d imagine Depeche Mode jamming around a campfire might sound like, while the more circuit-centric ‘The Golem Of Bognor Regis’ lurches more conscientiously in the direction of an electro influence, whilst also sounding a little like one of Atom TM’s many guises in its absorption of chintzy exotica. One of the album’s highlights, ‘The Man With The Transparent Face’ marks a turn towards a post-dubstep sound, embracing throbbing, pressurised basslines and aggressive beats whilst keeping it quintessentially Cursor Miner with a weird lyrical contingent. Following suit, ‘Mad Cow (Intensively Farmed Version)’ maintains the dark and distorted urban edge, while such diverse treats as the Rephlex-ish ‘Full English Fastbreak’ and the star-gazing cold-wave missive (and former single) ‘Luna’ keep the top quality content flowing.”
