“After their space-themed record -270°C (2021) and the following, earth-themed record Frohe Zukunft (2023) Kombynat Robotron are closing the circle with the waterthemed West Mata. With a total length of about 50 minutes split into three tracks the band returns to their longform jam-based approach to songwriting on West Mata.”
“In the year 2018 the australian psych-rockband SEEDY JEEZUS was doing their european tour. After the tour their guitar player Lex Waterreus spent some days at the home of Komet Lulu and Sula Bassana (both back then of ELECTRIC MOON), and what would be nicer as to record some jamsessions. Three longer pieces got recorded and Sula did some editings and mixings.Then some years passed by…In late 2023 Lex visited Sula at his new home after another SEEDY JEEZUS tour and they did some spare overdubs and finished the album.”
“Unearthed from the archives of Shem to commemorate our 7th year in existence, these recordings mark the first beginnings of a continuous journey into the depths of musical experimentation, rhythmic meditation and cosmic trances. Performed and recorded on June 3rd 2017.”
“With “Nectar Of The Gods” The Spacelords take their unmistakable sound to new, astral heights. The Spacelords – the galactic grooving space rockers in the stoner space-time continuum – grace our solar sound system with their latest album… The constantly reinventing, deeply interwoven interplay of the trio captivates the stoner, space and kraut rock community with its devoted joy of playing, as only true friends can muster.”
“Zone Six got founded in August 1997, when Dave (also known as Sula Bassana) got a concert request for Liquid Visions, but this band was not able to play the show. So Dave had the idea to form a new band just for this: Zone Six. The idea behind was to play long tranceful space- and acid-rock improvisations. Now, 26 years later, this project is still existing and has a new, dark and powerful album out. The basics were recorded within the first three days of March 2022, influenced/affected by the news of the just started Russian war on Ukraine. It took more than a year to do some overdubs and produce the whole album out of these jams/composings (in a few days/weekends).”
“This is the band’s third release to date on Drone Rock following on from their two Dickfehler Studio Sessions albums, both of which became firm favourites of regular DRR customers. Since their last outing on DRR the band may have gone from a four to a three piece outfit but they haven’t lost any of their distinctive heavy Krautrock grooves. In fact, if anything, ‘Frohe Zukunft’ marks an evolution of Kombynat Robotron’s renown love of repetition with even looser Kosmische rhythms, pounding riffs and exploratory guitar jams which send the listener drifting into the Cosmos.”
“”Flowers and Dead Souls” is the second full-length studio album by Leipzig-based trio Acid Rooster, featuring six instrumental tracks that explore the depths of freethinking psychedelic music. From very quiet, spherical melodies to space jams and driving songs, the album contains a variety of different emotions and styles that are reminiscent of the spirit of German kraut and psych rock pioneers.”
“Hazeshuttle is an instrumental heavy psychedelic stoner rock band formed in 2018 in Ingolstadt, Germany. The music style contains heavy fuzz driven analog sounds with mixtures of various spaced out psychedelic guitar harmonics, deep powerful bass sections and all combined with classic rock orientated rhythmic drum grooves.”
“Shem is a collective of musicians aiming to perform improvisational sound pieces influenced by a wide range of eras and strains of psychedelic and progressive music. Through combining elements of ambient, drone, psych and space rock into epic, reverb drenched jams, Shem try to reach out beyond the established boundaries of musical conventions to create their own realm of sonic experimentation. Constantly moving and shape-shifting within this realm, their third album sees the German collective explore further the meditative and ritualistic aspects of ambient music, the sonic outbursts of space rock and the atavistic rhythms of Krautrock.”
“Ad Astra was recorded live in july 2020 in Acid Roosters private garden with a field recorder in front of a small audience of friends during the lockdown in the middle of the corona pandemic. The two long jams were the opening an the closing track of a completely improvised concert and are a spontanious snapshot of ACID ROOSTERS approach of free floating psychedelic music.”
