专辑简介

The fourth and final release in the "NOW" compilation series by Underscan Records delivers tracks by Slemper, Lambent, 3tronik and Fibla. The variety of styles defines what Underscan is all about. A mixture of contemporary electronica from abstract HipHop to dance oriented electro experiments. The complete series with all tracks from the four 12" records will be available on CD in autumn of 2006 as a follow up to this release. SLEMPER kicks of the record with a stunning electroesque-track named "Dusdatikaf". Pounding beats and beautifully composed melodies warp around to make this track a club compatible dj tool aswell as a perfect homelistening adventure. Slemper is Maarten Meussen from DenHaag (NL) who just released his debut album "Mismatch" on the belgian imprint Aecletrick with which he gave an outstanding example of todays freshness in electronic music. LAMBENT focuses with his track "Kaudyoe" into the abstract HipHop realms of electronica and creates a cinematic mood by the use of shifting tempos and found samples. Lambent is Akira Inagawa from Japan who is now based in Berlin. His works have been released on labels like Expanding, Jetlag or Alianation and his next album will be made available thru prestigious City Centre Offices later on this year. 3TRONIK is Fabien Florin from France. His track "Verwirrung" has already gained lots of interest by music fans all over the world as the result of being already released by various Net Lables like Sutemos. Now finally and for the first time "Verwirrung" is available on quality 12" vinyl for all collectors out there. FIBLA is well known in the world of todays electronica. With his own imprint spa.RK he offers records that are "intented for emotional audiencies". He has also had many releases on such labels as Sub Rosa, Quartermass, Benbecula, Worm Interface or Expanding. His contribution to NOW 04 titled "International" thus is a very emotional release perfectly set into warm organic sounds.
