Milton Bradley - Reality Is Wrong [Prologue 027]


Milton Bradley returns for his second release on Prologue Records. After providing remixes for Cio D'Or's 'Die Faser' and 'Magnetfluss' as well as his own 'The Unheard Voice From Outer Space' EP, Milton provides 3 tracks for Prologue's 27th release.


The A side features 'Reality Is Wrong'. Full of Bradley's distinct experimental dark drones. Side B consists of 'The Unbearable Lightness' and 'Trapped In Eternity' and displays the other side to Milton Bradley. Raw, stripped back, energetic techno as he combines an old skool stlye with his modern approach on the production of techno. Check out the samples below

PRG027 - Milton Bradley - Reality is wrong by Prologue

The EP will hit the shops in early September and then Beatport towards the end of the month. More info on Milton Bradley can be found on his Facebook Fan Page, and the same applies for Prologue.


If you happen to be in Berlin on the 26th August and you want to see Bradley perform, you'll be able to catch him playing for Wax Treatment @ Horst Krzbrg alongside Soundstream, Awesome Tapes From Africa, DJ Pete and Tatjana. Full event info can be found on Resident Advisor

Im Dunkeln @ Horst Krzbrg (14th Jan 12)

'Im Dunkeln' basically means 'In The Dark' and we couldn't think of a better place to be when these four DJs are taking to the turntables. A mighty fine selection from the most forward thinking techno producers in the world.

Andy Stott has been wowing listeners relentlessly with a string of releases on the Manchester based label Modern Love. This has lead to a number of bookings at some of the best venues around Europe. Those who made it to the Plex / Colony / Machine party at Corsica Studios will know how much damage he did in Room 2.

Peter Van Hoesen is a name that will be familiar to followers of our blog. As a DJ, Producer and boss of the Time To Express label, he's one of the most respected names in the business. We've been lucky enough to witness his sets in London on numerous occasions over the past few years and everyone has been exceptional.

As with PVH, Milton Bradley is another name that needs no introduction to our blog readers. The man behind one of our favourite imprints, Do Not Resist The Beat!, as well as The End Of All Existence and his new venture with Henning Baer, K209. Milton's droning, experimental sound manipulation and attention to detail have made him stand out as a real talent.

Completing the line up is another Modern Love artist. MLZ. This talented producer has been building his name around the scene releasing some serious dub techno on Modern Love and remixing for Time To Express, Perc Trax, Mikrowave and a few more. We expect more big things to come.

Doors open at Horst Krzbrg tomorrow night at 23:30pm and entrance will set you back 10 euros. There's no tickets (there never is in Berlin) so pay when you get there. You can check out the Facebook Event Page for more info. Also while you at it check out the artists Fan pages

Milton Bradley - Do Not Resist The Beat! 07

I always get very excited when I hear news of a new Do Not Resist The Beat! because it means Milton Bradley has been up to his old tricks again. Fresh for the start of his new project with Henning Baer, K209, and his remixes on Cio D'Or's 'Magnetfluss' for Prologue, Milton thought it was about time to return to the series that first caught our attention and where we love his work the most.

DNRTB! 07 follows the same pattern as the previous 6 releases. 3 tracks of droning, experimental techno, heavily laden with delays, reverbs and distortion, make this release an essential item for any discerning techno bag. Check out the samples below.


The release will be in the shops at some point in the near future. More info can be found on Milton Bradley through his Facebook Fan Page.

If you want to catch Milton performing live and you happen to be in Berlin on the 23rd December, then get yourself down to Tresor as he'll be performing for Tuna Park alongside another big SDD favourite, Dasha Rush, and his fellow Grounded Theory stable mate, Sawlin. More info can be found on the Resident Advisor Event Page

Weekend Picks: Berlin - Grounded Theory 11, Time To Express, Klubnacht @ Berghain

If you happen to be in Berlin this weekend, you're really in for a treat. On any normal given weekend, chances are you'll be spoilt for choice, but this weekend things really are getting ridiculous. Tonight there's two options which either way will both be worth a look. Firstly it's the next edition from our friends at Grounded Theory who will be taking over Horst Krzbrg with Tadeo, a live set from the Forward Strategy Group, Jonas Kopp and GT resident Milton Bradley. The party kicks off at midnight, full event details can be found on Resident Advisor.



Time To Express labelnight @ Panoramabar Friday 30th Sep 11

23:59 - 04:00 Samuli Kemppi
04:00 - 05:00 Pendle Coven
05:00 - 08:00 Peter Van Hoesen
08:00 - close Donato Dozzy

Unfortunately things are never quite straight forward and we're throwing up a bit of a Friday night dilemma for you, because also tonight is the Time To Express label night at Panoramabar. Starting the night with a 4 hour set is a Slash Dot Dash favourite and former guest, Samuli Kemppi. Following him will be a live set from Pendle Coven and further DJ sets from Peter Van Hoesen and Donato Dozzy. Again get the rest of the info and set times on Resident Advisor.

Klubnacht @ Berghain Saturday 1st Oct 11

Berghain - Klubnacht
23:59 - 04:00 Fiedel
04:00 - 05:00 TR-101
05:00 - 08:00 Sigha
08:00 - 09:00 Henrik Schwarz (Live)
09:00 - 16:00 Ben Klock
16:00 - end DVS1 & Ben Klock

Panoramabar - Innervisions
23:59 - 05:00 Marcus Worgull
05:00 - 06:00 Ame (Live)
06:00 - 09:00 Osunlade
09:00 - 13:00 Dixon

Sonntags
13:00 - 16:00 nd_baumecker
16:00 - 19:00 Gerd Janson
19:00 - 20:00 Henrik Schwarz (Live)
20:00 - 23:59 Prins Thomas
23:59 - end Dixon, Marcus Worgull & Ame


For our final recommendation, we stay at the Berlin techno mecca that is Berghain for the clubs in house Saturday night Klubnacht. The line ups at Klubnacht are always a little bit special but tomorrow night (and Sunday and maybe Monday?) is pretty much phenomenal. Making his debut at the Berlin techno Mecca is one of London's brightest stars, Sigha. As if playing 7 hours wasn't enough for Ben Klock, he'll carry on with a b2b with DVS1, who last at Berghain played for a massive 11 hours, so god knows what time that'll finish. TR-101 is a live project from DJ Pete and Sleeparchive.

With Innervisions bringing the house up in Panoramabar and a Sonntags session of pure class with Ostgut artist nd_baumecker and the man from Robert Johnson Prins Thomas and finishing off with a b2b2b Innervisions style, its set to be an incredible weekend in the former power station. Check out the rest of the event info on Resident Advisor.

Cio D'or - Magnetfluss Remixes [Prologue 023]



A month ago we brought you news of the release of Cio D'or's Magnetfluss EP on Prologue Records, so now it's time to bring you the news of the follow up remix pack involving three of the hottest properties in techno today. Hailing from The US, UK and Germany respectively, Silent Servant, Shifted and Milton Bradley have been behind some of the best music to be released in the last 12 months. Silent Servant and Milton Bradley are no strangers to Prologue. Silent Servant remixed Claudio PRC's 'Clear Depths' EP, and Milton Bradley put out his own 'The Unheard Voice From Outer Space' EP as well as remixing Cio D'Or's last Prologue release 'Die Faser'.

The EP begins with Silent Servants remix of 'Wasserkraft'. The ghostly aura breathes repeatedly in and out over the top solid 4/4 for an emotional journey. For 'Magnetkreis', new to Prologue, Shifted breaks up the kicks and provides an atmospheric soundscape. Finally Milton Bradley takes on 'Magnetfluss' and transforms it into a dark, droning piece, full of depth and anticipation. It's tough to pick a favourite, but all 3 will find their place in any set.

Listen to the samples from the player below.


The EP will be out in the shops at the end of October. We highly recommend you get yourselves a copy. No doubt this wont be about for long. Info on Prologue can be found via their Facebook and Twitter pages. Cio D'Or can be found on Facebook, as can Milton Bradley. Shifted is on both Facebook and Twitter but as is the Sandwell District way, Silent Servant can't be found on any social networking sites!

Mix Of The Day: Milton Bradley - Trip Mix (Sep 11)

Here at Slash Dot Dash, we always get excited when we see something new from our past guest, Milton Bradley. He first caught our eye through the releases on his own label, Do Not Resist The Beat! Since then he's released on labels like Prologue and Zooloft, remixed for Perc Trax, appeared on the CLR Podcast, debuted his live set at Berghain and setup another label with Grounded Theory boss, Henning Baer, called K209.

With all that going on, you'd be surprised that the Berliner managed to find time to put a mix together, but he's taken a few hours out to press record and give us some more beats for your iPod. Check out the mix from the soundcloud player below....


Tracklisting

Aberration - Spirit (Flaw Recordings)
Mike Parker - Protolanguage (Spectral Sound)
MFS 7074-0 - B1 (whitelabel)

Ongaku - Mihon (Pod Communication)
Giorgio Gigli - Skulking In The Shadow (Zooloft)
Helical Scan - Index (Chain Reaction)
Various - 61 Center Returning Vol 2 (Time To Express)
Commix - Satellite Type 2 (Marcel Dettmann Remix 2) (Metalheadz)
Rolando - 5 To 9 EP (Ostgut Ton)
Head High - It's A Love Thing (Piano Invasion) -Power House
Mørbeck - Vault Series 4.0 (Vault Series)
Delta Funktionen - Setup Two: Fusion (Ann Aimee)

More info on Milton Bradley can be found on his Facebook page. If you want to catch him play live in the next couple of months there's a couple of parties that we highly recommend. Readers of the blog will know all about the Grounded Theory parties in Berlin. The next one, GT11 will be held on the 30th September, this time at Horst Krzbrg, and Milton will perform alongside Tadeo, Forward Strategy Group and Jonas Kopp. Full details on Resident Advisor.

Or if you happen to be in Greece on the 22nd October then get yourself down to 6 D.O.G.S. as Hospital team up with Grounded Theory to bring you a monster line up including Sandwell District, Slash Dot Dash Podcaster Sawf, Henning Baer and of course Milton Bradley. Again, full details can be found on Resident Advisor.

Giorgio Gigli, Obtane & Milton Bradley - The Darkest Thoughts Of Fates Manufacturer [Zooloft 001G]

In the shops now is a new release on Italian label, Zooloft. A collaboration from Giorgio Gigli, Obtane and previous SDD guest, Milton Bradley. A is ferocious, B1 is dark and atmospheric (as we've come to expect from Milton) and B2 carries on from where B1 left off, just subtract the drums. Making the whole EP very spooky but stunningly crafted.




It's in at Decks.de now and I'm sure will be hitting all the other usual places sooner rather than later. For more info on all the parties involved check out their facebook pages

K209 - 1

The man behind the string of undergound techno parties in Berlin, Grounded Theory, Henning Baer makes his first venture into production alongside his resident and past Slash Dot Dash guest, Milton Bradley.

Henning is a regular as a DJ around Berlin, playing at legendary venues like Tresor and Suicide Circus. Milton Bradley needs no introduction. His work on his Do Not Resist The Beat! label promoted us to fly him over to London. You would of seen we reviewed DNRTB!06 a while back.

Hardwax describes the release as 'harder stomping noisey techno cuts'. Sounds like a perfect, to the point review to us. Check out the samples below


It's available on vinyl now at Hardwax but will be hitting all the rest in good time. We strongly recommend you check this out.

The next Grounded Theory event will be taking place at Arenaclub on the 15th April featuring another unbelievable line up. After linking up with Perc at a recent show in New York, they've brought him in to headline. Alongside Ali will be Moerbeck and Subjected (Vault Series), Ancient Methods and of course Milton Bradley. The Resident Advisor Event Page tells you all you need to know.

But to not miss anything Grounded Theory related, give them a 'like' on their Facebook Fan Page

Milton Bradley - A Sky Full Of Numbers [Do Not Resist The Beat! 06

Since playing for us back in November last year, Milton Bradley locked himself away and set to work on his first ever live project which debuted at Berghain last weekend, to outstaqnding effect. We've been waiting a good while for the next release from the label he set up with Zeal, Do Not Resist The Beat. And the time has finally arrived.

As is the way with the label, it's a 3 tracker packed full of exhilarating experimental techno. 'A Sky Full Of Numbers' drones and pulsates bass right through your mind, whilst shuffling patterns keep your head nodding. 'The Path To Mathematical Truth' is the raw techno number. Sirens swell to full intensity then fade into the background, readying themselves for another onslaught. 'Number Analysis' is 4/4 like 'The Path To Mathematical Truth', but is much more steady, relentless but deep all at the same time. It's one of those special tracks that sits late in the party when all you need is a raw techno grove to accompany you're heads down, no talking, dancing moments.

At the moment I've only found it at Hardwax, but I'm sure it'll be in all the best stores soon. Check out the samples below


I remember speaking to Samuli Kemppi in the hotel before the last party and we was chatting about Milton Bradley's music and he said to me "the great thing about his production, is that everything has it's place. Never to much or too little, it's perfect" and I whole heartedly agree with him. We expect very big things from Milton in 2011.

For those of you who are lucky enough to be in Berlin on the 18th February would be very wise to make your way down to Horst Krzbrg for Grounded Theory 07. Of course resident Milton Bradley will be there. He will be joined by the (as those who were there in March will fondly remember) excellent Traversable Wormhole performing live and some big favourites of ours, Terence Fixmer and Delta Funktionen. All the event info can be found on Resident Advisor

Slash Dot Dash pres. Samuli Kemppi (Live) & Milton Bradley @ The Rhythm Factory, 13th Nov 10

It's probably about time we announced details of our next event......... so here it is

Slash Dot Dash is going back to its' roots, back to where it all began 3 years ago with that amazing night at The Rhythm Factory.

We may be getting all nostalgic over the venue but as usual we're staying at the very front of cutting edge underground techno. And to do this we're flying in a couple of firsts.

A live set from Samuli Kemppi and a DJ set from Milton Bradley have never been heard across London soundsystems.......... until now!

The rest of the line up will, of course, be filled by our residents, XI and Chris Stanford.

The flyer and more details will be coming soon, but until then you can occupy yourselves, and saving a few quid at the same time by picking up your £10 early bird tickets which can be found on the Resident Advisor Event Page

And of course more info on the artists can be found here

Do Not Resist The Beat - Point of No Return

Do Not Resist The Beat has easily been one of my favourite labels for the last 2 years. Now into their 5th release and there's no let up in quality.

Hardwax describe it as "Just deadly techno cuts - Highly recommended." I don't think i could put it any better myself.

Check out samples of the tracks here


It's now available on vinyl at Hardwax. You can order your copy there.

For more information add Do Not Resist The Beat on Myspace
