at night, things get a lot more unpredictable. a stranger can become a friend, you suddenly become intimate with a woman or a man whos name you will never find out, while darkness also allows you to conceal your true identity - even become someone else. inspiration for this album emanates from the fascination towards the intensity of what nightlife has to offer , euphoria and melancholy, spotlights or incognito, sexual contact or lonely voyeurism... francois x entertains the listener with playful ambiguity and unsettling, yet sensual atmospheres.

a selection of forgotten demos by band hymn, active 1981-1984, with multi-talented musician and post-punk pioneer lucas trouble (†2016) in the lineup. dition of 400 numbered copies. hand stamped sleeve. includes insert with photos, artwork and liner notes. all the tracks were originally self-released as demo tapes in a very limited run. their first work, coming home, was published in 1983, and the second one, too many lies, in 1984. both of them were distributed by the band themselves. shortly after, they released a more widely known 12” ep, tired (nova express, 1984), with a different line-up and noticeably more rock-oriented. definers of a totally genuine sound, hymn were coevals to the underground-synth-post-punk movement that surfaced in france in the early eighties, easily recognisable today via cult labels such as bain total and invisible/scopa records, with stunning releases by experimental references like ilitch, philippe doray or incontinents.

latvian producer w3c, taking his moniker from the acronym for the world wide web consortium, affords oversight to the totality of the internet comparable to his namesake standards organization. and where the latter concerns itself with education, outreach and software development, the former is a pastiche and collage savant using online connectivity and access to wrangle all strains of electronic music and collide their respective particles into an unrecognizable, yet eerily inviting sonic edifices. debuting in style, earlier this year, with the vinyl-only atmospheric entry ep, via pinch s tectonic-side-venture cold recordings, w3c now joins the infinite machine family with state of absolute alienation

after the first installment, casual violence is in charge of keep going the path from coum. absolution is the name of it, and is composed by 4 original tracks from the manchester based producer. expect some explorations on ritualistic electronic beats.

mr scruff & ge-ology remixes
manchester s very own mr scruff and nyc crate digger ge-ology remix moscow s lay-far! now that s what we call a truly international release. it s kind of a dream release for us at local talk as both scruff and ge-ology have been on our we wanna get them on local talk plastic list for quite some time. starting off we find scruff going for a slight disco(ish) rub where analogue synths bumps around with a dark but musical basement feel...but still jazzy! on the flip our man ge-ology who is riding high on the hype from his release on theo parrish s sound signature label goes on a deep and spaced out electronic house venture that is so edgy it hurts. its that good good shit basically...enjoy!

to anyone with even a passing interest in the weirder end of good-time party-ready house music, freaks should need little introduction. luke solomon and justin harris have been keeping our preferred kind of dancefloor vibrating to the cheekiest manifestations of house music since the mid 90s, never letting up and moving in the same oscillations as the good ship circus company.

christian prommer und alex barck sind sehr viel unterwegs gewesen, haben in kleinen clubs gespielt und auf großen bühnen. die tracks der the machine ep sind auf tour entstanden und teil ihrer live-sets. the machine featured die berliner sängerin flinte voss von der band neve naive. enthalten ist auch ein slo-mo-house-remix der momentan heiß gehandelten paskal & urban absolutes

this is a joint venture of up and coming paskal & urban absolutes and house veterans henry l & ingo saenger. all 4 producers are connected by their penchant for deep and raw house music, while living quite far apart in berlin (b), düsseldorf (d), dortmund (d) and koeln (k). paskal & urban absolutes recently released on the highly respected sonar kolletiv label among others, whereas henry l and ingo sänger released on their own farside label and have been playing house music all life long. the 2 original tracks plus the 2 remixes are all sexy swingers! welcome to 2013!

ron carroll & (byron stingily) - two legends from the early house era. their voices have been an instantly recognizable signature on countless records from that time. these two heroes are back now with paskal & urban absolutes. the duesseldorf / berlin-duo has been busy in the studio for the last few months working on new tracks and remixes.

the loose series based on misunderstandings returns. after the last release in 2009 the series initiated by jazzanova dj alex barck based on his former club night at berlins weekend, we are now treated with its fourth installment.

dro & lodzy are back! this is their second single on absolut freak, the follow up to the successful >not yet now< with the remixes by dilemn and gooseflesh.

die mächtigen deep house-sounds von paskal aus berlin waren bereits auf labels wie wildtrackin oder room with a view zu hören. gemeinsam mit urban absolutes aus essen, der gerade auf phoniques label ladies & gentlemen für furore gesorgt hat, heuert er nun bei farside an. das original von >need love< ist ein heruntergebremstes percussion-monster, während der henry l-remix das tempo anzieht und mit einer reese-bassline den boden erzittern lässt. außerdem dabei ist ein funkiger disco-dub von ingo sänger und henry l.

remixes by phil fuldner, john creamer & stephane k, andrea t. mendoza and robbie rivera.
