I still remember how my cassette with a copy of Eleven Minarets looked like and when and with whom I’ve listened to this album for the first time, and which overwhelming impact it has on me. I knew other Muslimgauze’s releases at that time, I loved them all, but it was exactly Eleven Minarets that …

Toneshift indepth review for Freigeist
The record opens with the writhing waves of The Capital Of Death – Contorted City on Kotra‘s new album Freigeist. Dmytro Fedorenko, the Vienna-based Ukranian artist/producer who co-runs the fantastic Kvitnu label has been bending sounds like these since the early 90’s – but here he’s on to something more subtly cerebral than ever. The …
Toneshift reviewed Ilpo Vaisanen’s “Syntetisaattori Musiikkia Kuopiosta”
There is often only the faintest line between simplicity and complexity, between sparsity and richness, and it is upon this interval that Ilpo Väisänen’s Syntetisaattori Musiikkia Kuopiosta rests. It is not so much that Väisänen’s work is fragile – he has built his career upon both Pan Sonic’s industrial-tinged techno, and the abrasive ambience of …

Superb review from Toneshift on Promeni
In Ukranian Promeni translates to ‘rays’ and that is what beams from the first chords of the title track of the latest recording from sound artist Zavoloka (Kateryna Zavoloka). From Kyiv but based in Vienna her wavy rhythm here takes an expansive shape that is formatted fully forward. It’s a sound that blooms like the …
Neural review Plaster “Transition”
Released by Kvitnu, Transition is the new studio album by Plaster, a moniker hiding the real name of Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri (earlier in a duo with Giuseppe Carlini). Transition shows a different approach from the past: more minimal and concrete, thanks to the use in the compositions of analogue and hardware sets, on the edge with inspired …
Vital Weekly review for STURQEN’s Survivalismo
… Here they have ten new pieces, ranging from one to eight minutes and the duo continue the path they have chosen. Again we have some very strong beats, and very strong they surely are. Even stronger than before I should think, but that easily goes for all the music here on this disc. More …

Sturqen “Survivalismo” is out!
It’s our 60th release! In a strengthened and familiar sound approach, Sturqen’s new album “Survivalismo” regenerates their core essence: broken rhythms with heavy distortions without the fear of being unpleasant, ruthless acid jams and pulsating dark lights that provide little help to get out of a cold and long tunnel. The thought of any dystopia …
Review for Zavoloka’s Promeni from The New Noise
Seguo la Kvitnu da diversi anni, una delle realtà in ambito sperimentale più vivaci e creative, a partire naturalmente dalla musica fino ad arrivare ai curatissimi packaging e artwork di ogni singola uscita, dettagli curati proprio da Zavoloka, nome di battesimo Kateryna Zavoloka, producer e graphic designer che si prodiga al massimo per portare avanti …
