Defects Awaiting Review, reported against no version 25214 Behaviour when deleting menu items with sub-menus Menus normal defect (bug) new 2013-09-02T11:57:53Z 2014-02-05T05:28:02Z "If you delete a menu item that has sub-menu items below it, the sub-menu items will move up a level instead of being deleted. I don't think this is desired behaviour for menus. If I delete a menu I expect it to delete all its sub-menus too.

The discussion on tickets #5608 and #9136 suggests that all private posts are published immediately (and privately), and that this is intentional. So, it's misleading and confusing to report that it already was published on some future date.

Browsing the current sources for trunk, I can see that the problem is present at line 206: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-users-list-table.php#L206]
My personal feeling is that even for filtering controls, having them present in the line of controls at the top of tables but absent in the line at the bottom of the tables is not a good idea, but I'll concede that it's debatable.
However, I believe that for this case of showing the ""Change role to..."" bulk action at the top of the users shown to single-site admins in a multi-site network, but omitting it from the bottom of the table, where it clearly ought to be present beside the Bulk Actions control, is a bug.
The attached screenshot shows the problem (using 3.7.1). Deleting these lines from the trunk version of {{{class-wp-users-list-table.php}}} fixes the problem (tested in 3.7.1).

For example, the icon focus color for Midnight is `#fff` which is used for the main navigation and any SVG icons, but Core uses `#e14d43` (highlight color) for the admin bar default icons, so if a plugin puts an SVG into the admin bar, it is colored white, not red on focus.

Defects Awaiting Review 27076 double newlines inserted before captions Editor normal defect (bug) new 2014-02-09T13:35:31Z 2014-02-18T16:38:54Z "Steps to reproduce:
- Upload some picture in the library and add some caption to it
- Edit a post/page using the visual editor and, after some text, insert the picture using the add media button, so a ""caption"" shorttag is created
- Go into text editing
- Suppress the two newlines that appeared before the ""caption"" shorttag
- Go into visual mode
- Go into text mode: the newlines reappeared
It is important to put something before the picture inserted in order to reproduce the bug, because the two newlines are not inserted if it is at the very beginning of a post/page.
This is annoying for example in a table with top-aligned cells, if in a cell you have some text, and in the cell just to the right you have a ""caption"", then the two won't be aligned, since the newlines are converted to an empty paragraph during the rendering.
From what I saw, the issue could be fixed by just removing the line n° 124 in wp-admin/js/editor.js:

For example, on Page Edit, revisions have a hardcoded date format of `'j F, Y @ G:i'` and ajax autosaves use `'g:i:s a'` to show the ""Draft Saved at"" time (of note is the 24 hour vs 12 hour time). The ""Last Edited By _ on _"" time ''does'' properly use the time & date format options.
I have included a patch for the two examples above (comments/critiques welcomed), but there were a few others I noticed that may be somewhat more involved to fix. These include:
- Dates shown in the ""Date"" column of list tables (both the displayed and title text)
- ""Published on:"" date/time for pages (this may be tricky since editing the published time uses a 24-hour time format)
- ""Uploaded on:"" date/time shown in 'Save' metabox on Media edit screen

Enhancements Awaiting Review 29158 Customizer UI Design lacks contrast for visual hierarchy and does not match wp-admin Customize normal enhancement new 2014-08-08T22:39:56Z 2015-02-25T17:42:55Z "WordPress 3.8 (and the mp6 project) introduced a new design language for the WordPress admin, including a flatened design, higher contrast, more color, an icon font, and more. While it reskinned the Customizer, further work on the Customizer UI has proven difficult because the Customizer still lacks enough contrast for proper focus/hover/active styling.
Implementing things like Widgets, Menus, and Panels into the Customizer, has shown that most background colors need to be between #fff (the section heading color) and #eee. This makes it extremely difficult to create visual hierarchy between UI elements using color.
Customizer controls themselves are on a white background, not the off-white that is now used in wp-admin, making input elements stand out less and generally making something about the Customizer UI not feel very ""WordPress"". While the other accordion in the admin (in Menus) also uses this convention, it doesn't fit well in the Customizer since the Customizer accordion contains the primary actions.
The goal of this ticket is to introduce more breathing room for stronger visual hierarchy in new development with the Customizer, and to resolve the lack of contrast for focus/hover and active (open/current-section) states. Additionally, we should address concerns that the Customizer doesn't really match wp-admin (or the front-end toolbar, for that matter, which it should be more similar to given the front-end context) in the process.
MP6 did experiment with a considerably different design for the Customizer at one point, but it was pulled because the dark styling, which was keyed to color schemes, was too heavy, and felt more appropriate for a menu than for tools. However, one potential option for addressing this ticket is to re-explore color scheme integration, since color schemes are under-utilized in the Customizer. This is one approach I'm proposing, but not the only possible solution here. Many options have been explored, and I like this the best, but this is design so not everyone will. I'm open to anything that addresses the issues above.
The coming patch uses admin menu colors (keyed to colorschemes) for the navigation components of the Customizer, but uses wp-admin body styling (the off-white background and light UI) for the functional tools/controls regions of the Customizer. Not perfect, but an interesting proof-of-concept at the very least, and does address some of the issues with this approach in mp6." celloexpressions 3.8 ui/ux

These two options are set in options-discussion and override the 'comment_status' of an individual post.
The edit posts screen's comment meta box displays comments open/close status, allowing publishers to open or close comments for a single post. It's possible the site-level discussion settings will override the individual post yet we still might display a different post comment status than the site settings allow.

I think there are a few potential fixes:
1) Change the wording, to something like ""Start Date (Older)"" and ""End Date (Newer)"", or different text entirely
2) Use some JS to alert the user/prevent the download if they chose a more recent month as the Start Date

What if when you are logged in to WP and are an editor, if you always viewed the site through the Customizer?
When you're log in, you could actually get sent to the Customizer, with the preview iframe filling the whole view. Then when selecting "Customize" it could just bring the customizer panel into view. You then can make a setting change, and then continue browsing the site like normal… and the setting change would remain pending until Saving. Any site browsing activity done on the normal frontend could also be done from within the Customizer. In this way, there would be no need for a `/wp-customize/` rewrite base, or a `/customize/` endpoint (#28570); if you're logged in, you would be in the Customizer already.
There would be some initial overhead when navigating to the frontend from somewhere else (like the WP admin), since it would re-initialize the customizer. But subsequent navigation on the frontend would happen all within the customizer preview iframe. The URL bar in the browser would mirror the URL loaded into the preview iframe via HTML5 history (`pushState`/`popState`).
The work here would nicely compliment the work on the WP Front-end Editor, as the Customizer would allow previewing changes to any post type and associated postmeta via `transport=refresh` so that the theme need not add explicit support for doing inline live editing (i.e. `transport=postMessage`).
Addresses #28580 (Speed up customizer by lazy-loading controls and settings as needed)
Depends on #20714 (Theme customizer: Impossible to preview a search results page)
Depends on #28536 (Add browser history and deep linking for navigation in Customizer preview)

In my humble opinion this is bad UX and the sidebar box should expand automatically when being hovered over with a draggable and it should accept the draggable to it's containing droppable/sortable as well.
The obstacles to overcome:
- Since the draggable in most cases overlaps the sidebar box when dragging over it ( unless you move really quickly ) it's hard to register a 'mouseenter'. This could be solved by setting the 'cursorAt' option for the draggable.
- Opening a sidebar box is trivial but activating the droppable/sortable only seems to kick in when the draggable has been released." ldebrouwer 3.4 ui/ux

1. Create a multi-site blog with SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL set to false and PATH_CURRENT_SITE set to /content/. Main site is now available at (http://www.example.com/content/)
2. Create a new network with a different domain name than the domain for the current site (my.example.com)
3. Set the path for the new network to have 2 path segments, for example /content/my-new-network
**Expectation** Navigating to http://my.example.com/content/my-new-network will show the new network
**Result** Redirection back to the primary site (http://www.example.com/content/) because no blog could be found at the path
== More Details ==
We have a multi-site blog set up in a similar manner to the description above. The primary site is based at http://www.elocal.com/content/ and is configured in wp-config.php like:
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.elocal.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/content/' );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
We then have a few networks. Some of these are under the domain www.elocal.com (e.g. http://www.elocal.com/content/home-expert-network/ ) while some are under other domains (e.g. http://www.elocallawyers.com/content/legal-resource-network/ ).
Upon upgrading from WordPress 3.7.1 to Wordpress 4.1.1, we found all of the blogs NOT on the same domain as the primary site (so not on www.elocal.com) no longer could be located, navigating to the links just resulted in a 302 back to the main blog page.
Upon researching the issue, I found the code responsible for looking up the appropriate blog from is restricting the lookup to only the first path segment source:trunk/src/wp-includes/ms-settings.php?rev=28934#L65 (the third argument to get_site_by_path is 1. So because the path for the blog on domain www.elocallawyers.com with two path segments (content and legal-resource-network), but we are limiting the path to only one path segment (/, or /content/), we cannot find the blog.
I was able to perform a temporary workaround by changing the third argument to a 2, which at least got me back up and running.
I'm not sure what a great solution would be. A couple of options that I can think of:
1. Do not restrict the number of page segments for non current_site blog lookups
2. Allow for this to be a configuration setting so I could set the maximum number of lookups.
3. Use the same number of content segments as you would for a blog on the main site. That is 1 more than the number of segments for the main blog." iotr 3.9 reporter-feedback

3. On view source of the page, the incorrect URLs can be seen (that is, those that start with http://www.... with the slug of the page attached). The slug of the posts are appended as well, which is not desired.
4. The same problem can also be seen at the login page - only if a query string is appended to the URL. The stylesheets and scripts do not load properly because the query string is passed along to the stylesheet and script urls. The login page looks fine if there is no query string.
5. Same problem still exists even if all plugins are disabled, theme is switched to the default theme (Twenty Fifteen, etc) and even with a clean/reinstalled copy of WordPress.
6. Even if the the site and home URL indicated in the database is equal to that of the WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME respectively (that is, {{{http://sample.wordpress.org}}}

Reporter Feedback / Close 30271 MEJS Audio Player Bug Media normal defect (bug) new 2014-11-06T08:51:53Z 2015-02-05T00:58:52Z "I've noticed that the built in audio player never finishing running the file `mediaelement-and-player.min.js`. I've only noticed the bug on iPhone 5 (my iPhone 4 is fine!).
However, it's a bit of a big issue as it means the jQuery on load event never gets fired.
I've disabled all plugins and reverted to TwentyFourteen and if you inspect the timeline you can see that the js file runs indefinitely.
The timeline suggests the issue is with the following function, at least that's where it gets stuck:
c.media.addEventListener(""loadedmetadata"", function() {
c.updateDuration && c.updateDuration();
c.updateCurrent &&
c.updateCurrent(); // this is the line it seems to fail on
if (!c.isFullScreen) {
c.setPlayerSize(c.width, c.height);

I ran in to a problem which I think is in the WP core.
I'm adding pages with the posttitle '1', '2', '3', et cetera (primary school classes). I saw that the only page that does not work is the page that has the same posttitle as the ID of the homepage.
The ID of the page that I chose as 'home', is 5. When I add a page with a posttitle '5', the homepage template gets loaded instead of the chosen template for my page. When I change my posttitle to any other page id this does not happen. Very weird behaviour. " EmeryFramboise 4.1 reporter-feedback

Reporter Feedback / Close 30086 Wordpress creates erroneous, non-ambiguous guid in RSS feeds Feeds major defect (bug) new 2014-10-24T04:19:56Z 2015-01-29T03:36:37Z "The RSS feed for my self-hosted Wordpress blog does not validate; feedvalidator.org gives the following error:
line 101, column 67: guid values must not be duplicated within a feed: http://www.christopherculver.com//.html (9 occurrences)
Indeed, for every post that is combined into the RSS feed, the guid element is exactly the same as shown in the error message, and the page title and the preceding part of the URL went missing somewhere along the way. Note that this may be related to the fact that in Settings -> Permalinks, I have set the following Custom structure: 78 Derngate, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In 1917 the Northampton based model maker W.J Bassett-Lowke purchased 78 Derngate, Northampton. A standard 4 terrace property. The forward thinking Bassett-low tracked down the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh at his Chelsea office to transform the property. They shared a taste for modern non fussy design and together designed 78 Derngate, Basset-Lowke was particularly hands on client. The result is a stunning and incredibly practical house, with exceptional attention to detail. Influences from Japan, Africa, early signs of Art Deco and European design are all present. The rear of the property was extended 4ft to allow for a terrace and balcony, this floods light into the south facing rear rooms. The master bedroom has french doors and a balcony, inspired by a previous trip by basset-lowke to Europe and the Bathroom has a heated towl rail with Italian marble effect wall paper. Personally the back lit, stair screen wall found in the hall/ lounge and bold decor in the Guest bedroom with its striking white and black stripes alongside, blue silk and squared edged oak furniture really stood out. A must see for any lovers of 20th century interior design. The restoration of the building is amazing, with original pieces or those now found in museums being replicated, I would recommend the guided tour which was extremely informative, you will need a couple of hours to get the most from your visit. 78 Derngate is open February to Christmas, Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm. full price admission is £6.20 with concessions available. I would recommend a visit to their dining room restaurant, they serve fabulous afternoon tea!! For further details follow the link below: Leave a Reply Cancel reply

I have tested the bug in Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox and Google Chrome but it only appears to be present in Chrome (and when the zoom is set to 125%).
If the content has around 23 lines (sometimes give or take a few and this includes blank ones) a scroll bar will appear on the right hand side of the content panel. The arrows on the scroll bar will be disabled but if you grab it with your mouse, everything that has been entered into the content panel will become invisible. The content will reappear however, when scrolling using the actual scroll bar for the main page.
After some simple testing, I have only managed to produce the bug under the conditions described above (Google Chrome, 125% Zoom). It's nothing major but perhaps a small UI glitch that could be further investigated?
The content of the post where I first noticed the glitch is as follows:

My family and I really enjoyed our meal here. Overall a good selection for a buffet, and the food was quite good. I would definitely return.
Stopped here because it looked busy and we like buffets. Service was good and friendly but the food was mediocre at best. Would have been a good price if the food had been better.
Maybe I am being harsh, but this place is really about "all you CAN eat" which places quantity over everything else......some people undoubtedly like this.
Popular place especially with the tour groups so it can get a little crowded. Selections include baked ham & roast beef, fried chicken, and sliced (real) turkey in gravy, plus several side items (vegetables & such), a nice salad bar, and a variety of home-made desserts. There is a gift shop and the battle theater wax museum attached (the restaurant... More

2006 marked another record year of sales, but the fastest-growing merchants are smaller niche retailers who specialize and know what makes their customers tick
For more than a decade the Internet has been the fastest growing retail sales channel. It routinely generates annual growth of 25%, while total retail sales have been growing at 5% to 6% each year.
Last year was no exception, with online sales reaching $136.2 billion, up 25.9% from a year earlier. But what was different last year was that growth came from smaller retailers. While the Top 500 was the engine that powered online sales growth for several years, in 2006 sales at the Top 500 grew 21.3% compared to 25.9% for the entire market. Top 500 sales totaled $83.6 billion, up from $68.9 billion a year earlier. The rest of the market, including an estimated $34 billion in eBay Inc.-originated sales that could be considered retail sales, accounted for $52.6 billion in sales, up 29.9% from $40.5 billion a year earlier.
Within the Top 500, the split between slower growing large sites and faster growing smaller sites was -apparent. In 2006, combined revenue of the Top 500's 100 smallest merchants-with annual sales of about $5.5 million to $10.8 million-rose by 23% to $836.3 million from $682.6 million in 2005. Sales at the Top 100 grew 19% to $71.6 billion in 2006 from $60.2 billion in 2005.
In 2006, the Top 500 accounted for 61% of all online retail sales, down from 62.9% a year earlier. Among the Top 500, the Top 100 account for 86% of all sales, down slightly from 87% a year earlier.
But smaller and more nimble merchants continue to grow faster than their established competitors. For instance, the Top 25 retailers grew their combined sales in 2006 to $52.9 billion from $44.8 billion, an increase of 18%. But the total sales for all start-up retailers in the Top 500 Guide-companies only in business since 2004-grew by 55% to $494 million last year from $319 million in 2005.
Growth shifting to smaller retail sites proves once more that the Internet with its lower cost of entry can still level the playing field between small start-ups and giant chains. "It's still possible for entrepreneurs and start-ups to take a risk and gain a reward by -launching a web retailing site, but the fast-growing merchants these days are specialists and not generalists," says Jim Okamura, senior partner at retail consulting firm J.C. Williams Group Ltd. "They are search-savvy and know who their specialized customers are and what they want."
In 2006 small web -merchants-those outside of the Top 500-grew their combined revenue to $18.5 billion, based on subtracting total sales for the Top 500 from the total online sales, not including eBay-originated sales, of $102.1 billion as reported by comScore Networks Inc., which tracks millions of online users' activities. That number is an increase of 45.7% from a combined $12.7 billion in 2005.
Among the 100 smallest retailers in the Top 500, 19 posted annual growth rates of better than 50%, including seven with 2006 growth rates of more than 100%. By contrast, only seven of the Top 100 had growth rates (excluding acquisitions) of 50% or more.
Working it
A prime example of the success experienced by specialty marketers is Working Persons Enterprises, which operates WorkingPerson.com. It was the fastest growing retailer among the smallest 100 with 2006 web sales of $8.2 million, up 241.7% from $2.4 million in 2005.
WorkingPerson.com (No. 449) caters to shoppers who need to supply their own work apparel such as boots and coveralls. The site also caters to small business owners that purchase personalized uniforms for their employees. The company was founded to take advantage of an under-served niche after -market research indicated that other retailers weren't offering the mix of price, merchandise and personalization online shoppers wanted, says WorkingPerson.com chief operating officer Stephen Antisdel.
"We thought that consumers who need to buy their own work clothes are a specific retail segment with a lot of potential," Antisdel says. "It's too expensive to start as a general merchant on the web today so we knew we had to specialize and find a segment with good growth opportunity."
In the early days of e-commerce most web merchants built sales by concentrating on customer acquisition and increasing brand awareness. But now, with active U.S. web shoppers expected to peak at about 161 million by 2010, web retailers are shifting resources to applications, third-party services and merchandising strategies that drive more repeat business.
Clearly online buyers are spending more time surfing, searching and shopping the Internet and spending more each time they make a purchase. In 2006, the total number of transactions initiated on all Top 500 web sites rose by 20.7% to 632.5 million from 523.9 million, while the average ticket grew 19.2% to $199 from $167. Factoring out unusually high average orders, such as furniture and computers/-electronics purchases, the average ticket is $132, compared with $118 in 2005. As in previous years, chain retailers accounted for the biggest portion of total online sales in 2006. Last year chain retailers amassed 41.1% of all sales vs. 40.3% in 2005. In 2006 chain retailers in the Top 500 Guide generated combined sales of $34.3 billion, an increase of 23.4% from combined sales of $27.8 billion in 2005.
Following chain retailers were virtual merchants with 30.8% of sales among Top 500 companies, while catalogers and consumer brand manufacturers ended 2006 with market shares of 14.4% and 13.7%, respectively.
In 2006, Top 500 web-only merchants combined for sales of $25.7 billion, up 23.6% from $20.8 billion, compared with catalogers with total combined sales of $12 billion vs. $9.9 billion in 2005, an increase of 21.2%. Consumer brand manufacturers combined for $11.5 billion in 2006 sales, an increase of 9.1%.
The billion dollar club
Chain retailers also represented the segment with the most companies in the billion dollar sales club: Staples Inc., Office Depot Inc., OfficeMax Inc., Sears Holdings Corp., Best Buy Co., J.C. Penney Co. Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Circuit City Stores Inc.
Amazon.com Inc. remains the 900-pound gorilla of web -retailing, accounting for 8% of all U.S. online retail sales in 2006 and 13% of all Top 500 sales. Amazon (No. 1) grew its web sales by 26.1% in 2006 to $10.7 billion from $8.5 billion in the prior year.

Two years since 'Splazsh' topped a stack of annual polls, Actress presents his 3rd, and most coherent album, 'R.I.P' - his 2nd for Honest Jon's. Despite being a vital cog in the machinery of underground UK dance and electronics since at least 2004 (when he released his 'No Tricks' debut), it's fair to say that it's only in the last few years he's made the shift from cult concern to acknowledged auteur of some repute. His work with Damon Albarn's DRC Music, beside a legendary DJ set at Sonar and killer remixes of Shangaan Electro, Panda Bear and Radiohead all certify the fact; so expectations are no dou… Read more
**Gatefold vinyl** Adam Wiltzie (Stars Of The Lid) and Dustin O'Halloran reprise their acclaimed strings and keys duo, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, with 'Atomos I - XII' for Erased Tapes. We can safely report that it's every bit as gorgeous as their eponymous debut, but you probably already got the hint from their teaser 12", 'Atomos VII' which landed earlier this year backed with a fearsome Ben Frost re-interpretation. The further XI parts sweep us to the most picturesque modern classical panoramas imaginable...

*Repress* Marquis Hawkes back on Dixon Basement Jams with a special house session for y'all. This cat's releases just get better and better: his 4th 12" roves the 'floor between carnival-inspired acid strut on 'Honey Kisses' to the groove-riding piano house of 'Let's Do It' thru the wiggly jak trak 'House IS My Castle' and onto the pièce de résistance of Linn snare crack, slicing boogie licks and magical pads in 'Roger Funk'.
**Mindblowing electronic productions and songcraft from Africa-via-Paris circa 1975-1982!** Cameroonian musician and cultural polymath Francis Bebey is a bona fide legend of 20th century African music, art and literature. He introduced the world at large to Manu Dibango and had a stack of hits in the French-speaking African world, but it's his little known work with electronic keyboards, organs and drum machines which is staggeringly revealed here. Across 14 tracks, Francis cooks up a minimal but richly layered and heady concoction of frothy, improvised melodies, body… Read more
J&J's last album 'Techno Primitivism' totally floored us here, finding a sweet spot between elements of dub, jazz and psychedelia within a tactile house and techno framework. This new album - 'Clean-Cut' - left us a bit cold on first listen, taking a much straighter approach feeding off classic Detroit and swung Chicago styles, but in the space of a couple of listens it has completely earwormed its way deep into our heads and refused to let go. From that off-ish pan-pipe hook on the killer title track to the red-lining drums on "Wheeze Please", the production details and exotic flourishes ba… Read more
**Gatefold jacket. Colour inners** Juan Atkins delivers his 1st Model 500 album since 1999 with 'Digital Solution'. Aided by a live band including UR's Mike Banks, Mark Taylor and Milton Baldwin, they swerve to a classic sort of Detroit techno funk, with the emphasis mostly on classic styles, but also tucked with some straight-up signature electro belters. The funky bits tread a fine line between dope ('Electric Night' or 'Standing In Tomorrow') and eye-watering ('Hi NRG', the dubstep-styled 'Encounter') while the club joints do wit like only Juan and the clan can, at best in the supple,… Read more
It seems like fate that these two titans of the new electronic music revolution should join hands on a split release, and leave it to NNA Tapes to make that happen. Often mentioned in the same sentence, Dan Lopatin and Jeff Witscher have long had a thread linking their sounds, and while they may have both wandered from the synth music template a while ago, their styles complement each other better than ever here. Lopatin's side finds the artist in a defiant mode, pulling acerbic chattering voices from public service announcements a… Read more
Anthony Child presents his first solo album - outside of his work as Surgeon. As with his turn-of-the-millenium drops on Downwards and FatCat, ('Boys, School Showers & Swimming Pools'; splits with Jansky Noise and Stock, Hausen & Walkman), he uses his birth name to denote his non-dancefloor and texture-based experiments, as he explains that this record "...consists of location recordings, tonal experiments, and thought-forms from many different positions in space and time. It is the sound of the space between people and things." Using a palette of source mate… Read more
Wolf Eyes' Nate Young synthesises the sound of your primordial nightmares on the fifth 'Regression' session, 'Blinding Confusion'. In communion with the netherworld via detuned modules, tapes and percussion, Young operates at a such a sluggish pace that notions of deja entendu and EVP feel so much more valid, and all-too-real as he takes your beta-state to a point hovering just around the sub-conscious. Sweetly soured, off-key organ chords seep in with opener 'Forever Day', slowly dilating time and space, opening fine neural gateways for the high frequency scree of 'When Noth… Read more

This record will not be re-pressed* "Death Waltz Recording and One Way Static Records have joined forces to bring you the score to a truly iconic – or notorious – classic of the horror genre: Riz Ortolani's music to the one and only Cannibal Holocaust, directed by Ruggero Deodato. One of the early "found footage" films, this 1980 picture takes you into the heart of the Amazon rainforest as we see the lengths a film crew will go to get their … Read more
None hotter right now: UK's Moleskin drops his hugely anticipated solo debut proper on Goon Club Allstars - the label home to Mssingno. Heavily influenced by UK and US club sounds, namely Eski Grime, Baltimore Bass, and that hyper-funked Night Slugs aesthetic, Moleskin builds on the reputation of his Wiley edits and 'Burst' ace for Keysound with four up-to-the-second zingers cutting from brassy B-More bang on 'We Been Ready' and the percolating club fizz of 'Clemency', thru to the outrageously effective future funk flair of 'Turnt On' and the bouncing technoid bomb, 'Chips'. Mad tip for all fans of Jam City, Bok Bok, Her Records!
"Laurel Halo returns to album format after two critically acclaimed EPs with the driving, meditative 'Chance Of Rain'. Evolving from earlier works, it's a cerebral exploration of the intersection between rhythmic and ambient music, drawing together moments of movement and stillness, psychedelia and presence of mind. On 'Chance Of Rain', rhythms melt with unpredictable structures, ambient drift and deep harmonic passages, while keyboard-based interludes reinforce both the far-out and contemplative aspects of the record as a whole. Halo's evolution as a live performer has directed her music'… Read more
**Glow In The Dark Green Vinyl** "Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force "Planet Rock" 12-inch re-issue on glow-in-the-dark vinyl (Limited edition of 1982 copies) B-Boy anthem from 1982 lights up any dancefloor…literally!"
**Includes digital download code redeemable from the label** 'Xen' sets a definitive new apex for 24 y.o. Venezuelan artist Alejandro Ghersi aka Arca following his pivotal production roles on two of the most important hip hop/R&B albums in recent memory; Kanye's 'Yeezus' and FKA Twigs 'EP2' & 'LP1' - plus production work on Bjork;s next album still to come. Suitably housed among the roster of electronic legends on Mute, it's a nimble leap forward from last year's incredible '&&&&&' mixtape/LP, refracting myriad variations of his chamber-like fusion of vaporwave 'tronics, tarraxho and technoid pop queered … Read more
Outstanding, otherworldly debut album proper by the Hype Williams collaborator known as Henny Moan and John T. Gast. An ambient enigma steeped in post-hypnagogic tristesse, 'Excerpts' is a cryptic hash of mutant dance music, lo-fi pop, and screwed lounge styles every bit as skewed and enigmatic as you might hope from someone who's worked so closely with Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland (he contributed to 'Black Is Beautiful' and 'The Redeemer' a.o.). Written and recorded early 2014 in South West England, it treats nostalgia and electronic romance with equal amounta shadowy ambiguity and screwball a… Read more
*140g LP in spined sleeve with download code card* Ok, this is more like it - a crackshot slab from the crackpot producer putting his computer controlled acoustic orchestra thru its paces. As promised or alluded to in various interviews around last year's 'Syro' LP, he's done a proper Pierre (Bastien, Henry, Schaeffer) and manufactured a whole mechanical band of things that hit other things - mainly pianos, drums and gongs - to make a very pleasing sound indeed. It's the sound of an artist exerting optimal control over his instruments but allowing for, or … Read more
After a pair of real killer EP's last year (both of them making it to our top 100 singles of 2012), Tri Angle present the label debut from FIS on his 'Preparations' EP. FIS has evolved a unique mutation of core D&B electronics with a shocking sense of rhythm structure and abstract texturing resulting in those mind-blowing records for Exit and close Kiwi pals, Samurai Horo, in the last few years. For Tri Angle, he offers up a necessary reissue of his aerobic-mystic modern classic, 'DMT Usher' - which now fetches mad money 2nd hand - backed with three exclusive new forms: the crushing/crushed geometri… Read more

**Includes download coupon with exclusive bonus material - redeemable from the label** Classical crunk, who'd a thunk it? Michachu, that's who. Her and The Shapes collaborated with London Sinfonietta to create 'Chopped & Screwed' live in front of an audience at Kings Place, London in May 2010, providing Rough Trade with their first ever classical release. The concept itself is pretty far flung, merging the disciplines of codeine-laced cough syrup-drankin' early '90s Houston HipHop legend, DJ Screw, with the rarified sound of one of the world's leading con… Read more
Fresh from his woozy Amsterdam session with Gaussian Curve for Music From Memory, an oneiric solo debut from Jonny Nash on his own label, Melody As Truth. Classicist ambient meandering manifest on electric guitar, keys, synths and zither, seeking solace somewhere between Detroit Escalator Comnpany and Brian Eno. Dead lovely.
Solid longform 2-tracker from Floating Points to seal off the year. 'Nuits Sonores' is great - nice to hear Sam Shepherd edging away from the coffee table for a mooch round moodier environs, delivering a 12-minute number that sounds like a smudged Paperclip People tangling with a bit of jazzzz as it builds. 'Nectarines' is again kinda indebted to classic Carl Craig and Main Street productions, although that floaty vocal towards the end is p'rraps a little too smooth. Still, his best for a while.
The hugely-hyped acid house revivalists collect the best from their string of sought-after 12" singles, together with some new 303 jobs. Full tracklist: A1 - Light Tunnel; A2 - Transmission 5; A3 - Headtrack; B1 - Paris Dub 3; B2 - Machines Our Coming; C1 - Lovin U (Ahh Shit); C2 - We Ain't; D1 - Eating Glue; D2 - 300 Hangovers A Year; D3 - Paris Dub 1. Mix with import cereal for optimal effect.
Lars T C F Holdhus follows one of the very best releases of the new millenium so far, the 'Untitled' tape for YYAA, with another cryptic future-shock, his 1st for Liberation Technologies. Continuing a trajectory away from the calculated dance mash-ups of his now-defunct Cracksmurf alias, this project and mini-album is based on a whole other algorithmic strategy, rendering densely coded formulae into utterly mind-boggling and synaesthetically affective compositions. Once you've heard his music and done a little research into his academic background and visual practice - he studied at Frankfurt's f… Read more
*Long unavailable - finally re-pressed* Abrasive techno shunts from an incognito source. Styles rave from knuckle-dusting noise bruisers to monotone pump on the A-side, and over to more funked-up, Blawan-esque chew and blistering lowlands-style buck on the back-side. Fans of MCMXCI, the noisiest L.I.E.S., Metasplice etc should check it oot.
Sweden's SHXCXCHCXSH are set to catch a lot of heads off guard with this killer debut album. After a handful of noisy techno lashes for HEM and Avian, they render an unforeseen dilation of their sound alloying elements of trance and chamber-like vocals with their oxidised industrial churn. 'Strgths' is crafted as an album, rather than a bunch of DJ tools, using the first plate to experiment with styls beyond their previous remit, as on the etheric folk vocal and trancey ambient motifs on 'SLVRBBL' and the stunning pitched percussion of 'LTLWLF' on the first side, before unleashing a torrent of te… Read more
*Includes digital download voucher redeemable from the label* 'Instrumental Tourist' is one of the year's most anticipated electronic music albums. The meeting of established artist Tim Hecker and studio magician Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never at his Software Studio yields an otherworldly and near symphonic suite apparently conducted "...to mimic the tropes and techniques of jazz-based improvisation, with little preparation prior", effecting a wide-eyed and fascinating sound as dramatic and enchanting as any we've heard this year. As you'd expect from a Tim He… Read more
Arriving like some blockbuster sequel to 'Returnal', Oneohtrix Point Never's eagerly anticipated 'Replica' sucks us deep into a simulated 4.1 world fantasia. Most strikingly, his sonic palette is far broader than before, adding piano keys, Techno beats and somersaulting glitch edits with a fancier, hi-tech studio-honed sound design, articulating a more kinetic, progressive vision of timeless electronica. There's a palpable sense that he's excitedly exploring every option afforded him by the Mexican Summer studios, immersing himself and us in a vivid off-planet adventure every bit as sin… Read more
Nick Sigsworth heads much farther out under his 4th Klaus 12" - the 3rd on his Tanum label. If James Blake starting listening to lots of vintage Pole and Basinski, his work may sound like these three tracks; fanning out from the deliciously textured crackle and ghostly string apparitions in the elliptic, loping loops of 'Tele' on top, to the strung-out, breathy washes and lone bass reminding of Rainer Veil in 'Delta', and the middle-distance, aleatoric crunch of 'Luc'.
**Vinyl Edition finally available, comes in a special die-cut sleeve including two photo inserts plus download code redeemable from the label with Bonus Track** Nils Frahm presents the truest representation of his feted piano performances with this gorgeous treatment of over two years worth of live recordings, captured and then carefully assembled in his Durton Studio and referred to by Frahm as "a collage of field recordings rather than a live album. "Berlin-based contemporary composer Nils Frahm has built a steady reputation for his intimate, poignant piano recordings, yet they so f… Read more
Finally re-pressed. Blending the current trend for all things noisy with something altogether more 'composed' we end up with a curious concoction of Cliff Martinez and Wolf Eyes, stopping at planet Badalamenti for a strong cup of Joe ("black like midnight on a moonless night"). Frost's primary influence (and sound source...) for the album was Michael Gira's seminal noise-rock band Swans, an influence which bubbles majestically on the album's central piece, cunningly titled 'We Love You Michael Gira'. The track starts simply enough; shifting, moody synthesized tones sitting eerily next t… Read more
A late pinnacle of the Drexciyan oeuvre, Storm 2 aka Transllusion's 'The Opening of the Cerebral Gate' is issued to download for the first time! This is the original CD track-listing, including 12 songs, as opposed to eight on the original 2LP. We're not quite sure what they were using on this one, but it's all remarkably bass-heavy, even saturated, compared with a lot of other Drexciyan workouts, resulting some of their most ruggedly stripped down electro-techno functions ranging from the pounding might of 'Transmission Of Life' to the militant march of 'War Of… Read more
