is the doctrine of the mind fully contained within the physical brain? or are there places that we can traverse, places between places, that exist outside of ourselves and the consensual reality we all seem to inhabit? close your eyes and just try it for a second. you may be surprised where you go… exploring this theme of journeying beyond our strict sense of self, label mates and friends tale of us and mind against have joined together once again to create a work that works, fittingly, well past the summation of it s parts. playing with tension and release and a restrained but expressive sonic palate that paints a picture without words, these accomplished artists from the life and death team bring us to a place that seems to surely exist. even if we might not be able to pinpoint exactly where that is

tales of us with a monster double header vinyl !! tipp !!

the mysterious hyenah is back with a vengeance, once again delivering a vicious assault on unsuspecting bystanders with snapping jaws and a deadly snarl. ok, enough of that ...

liebe details 1st vinyl release in 2014 comes up with two more technoid cuts.

after the sensation caused by its last release, life and death comes back strong with another battle cry into the darkness. with a prized new member of the family, vaal, joining forces with a life and death mainstay, tale of us, the stage is set for another epic ep from the forward thinking label

limited repress edition
tale of us are carmine conte & matteo milleri. born in north america, raised in italy, at home in berlin. and this is their first release for minus. both musical and minimal, tale of us strip things back to their most basic ingredients. circular phrases hinting at the melancholic slowly spiralling downwards.

doue music presents their first vinyl release with one of the upcoming, already recognized slovenian artists, matthew hoag.

ruairi kennedy is klose one, a fierce and respected dj with a history of playing some of the finest pirate stations out there (including currently hosting the school records show on rinse) and is renowned for his outstanding sets at major festivals and clubs. now turning his hand to production, his debut comes on loefahs co-run label school records and follows previous eps from dusky and paleman. this to-the-point two tracker offers a brace of raw tracks that straddle the divide between the rawest vibes house, bass and techno have to offer and makes no compromises along the way.

visionquest’s ryan crosson, mighty duo tale of us and the unique aquarius heaven all unite for the into later habits ep - the next release on the visionquest imprint. a-side angel is a collaboration between crosson and tale of us, a multi-layered head trip with a moody intro of broken beats that builds with intricate textures until a rolling groove drives the track into another dimension. b-side head under water is structured around the penetrating and distinctive voice of aquarius heaven as he weaves a story of the importance of family and love. beginning on a sparse, ambient tip with electronic bleeps and fx, the track develops with a hypnotic percussive groove that vibrates beneath the powerful narration.

tale of us, return to the life and death mothership with a new original piece featuring berlin duo, the/das.

luca c & brigante are beginning to need no introduction as their heady balearic mix of sounds continue to resonate from the beach to the club. together, they have dropped bombs such as >different morals< feat. ali love and the robert owens fronted >tomorrow can wait<. luca c is also one half of infinity ink, whose >infinity< has been one of the summers biggest records, and a new addition to hot natured alongside jamie jones, ali love and lee foss. sebi aka brigante has remixed the new single from ali love, about to drop on no.19. aligning with the ancient mayan prophecy that the end of the world is due december 21st 2012, luca c & brigantes new single >flash of light< featuring dance music icon roisin murphy is a call to love like there is no tomorrow. embedded in heavy reverb and stripped back to slow steady drums, the mood rises as roisins crystalline vocals fall into rhythm and weightlessness builds with the bassline hook, pearly high-pitched strings and a burst of harmonic percussion.

gui borattos dark 2011 masterpiece >iii< was brimming with deft highlights, but not every one of them was aiming at the floor. showing his expertise in more than one style, the brazilian producer wove an intriguing web of beats and sounds that even surprised his most dedicated fans. >destination: education<, a slightly saturnine rhythm study featuring the return of guis wife luciana on vocals (who also sang on the classic >beautiful life< from debut album >chromophobia<), now gets pushed into the spotlight by dancefloor gurus terranova and tale of us, both tweaking the track to its optimal danceability. a must have for boratto zealots and crowd-sensitive djs alike, this 12 inch presents two heavy-duty bangers tailored to every partys needs.

here comes the second part of french team lowkey & kardinals electrovino series!
the first part is nicely rockin the floors around the globe and found its way into many cases (or better said file-lists) of many djs from small to big! the second part follows the path with another rocker called oroborus (the name taken from an ancient greek tale of a dragon eating his own tail !) with a kind of tech-housy but techno bangin feel to it, bringing back the old casio organ sound. followed by two versions of indian summer, one in its more smoother original version and the second in a very nice prime time techno version by kardinal himself!

das gleichnamige album des italienischen duos we love überzeugte als wahrscheinlich charmanteste liebeserklärung an das leben, die liebe und die popmusik des vergangenen jahres. mit der ep >timeless< legen sie jetzt ihre zweite bpitch control veröffentlichung mit neuen songs nach. musikalisch sucht ihr eleganter mix aus minimal-wave-pop, dezenten gitarren, new order reminiszenzen und den eindringlichen vocals seinesgleichen. die flipside gehört ganz dem dancefloor. hier finden sich zwei ebenso episch ausgedehnte wie reduziert arrangierte remixe von titeln des debütwerks. >ice lips< enthält eine schlankheitskur von tale of us, die bereits auf cocoon, barraca music und life & death veröffentlichten und u.a. einen grandiosen remix für who made who anfertigten. ein absolutes highlight ist sicher auch der troy pierce remix von >even if<. troy pierce releases auf minus gelten als klassiker des genres!

barcelona-born rainer grew up in california, but it was his move to london in 2007 which led him to start collaborating with cesare vs disorder, playing out around town and beginning his production career with the popular >neuralgia< under his belt. the obvious next step for him was to hitch his wagon onto the well-traveled route onto berlin where he now presents his second release on cesares serialism records. >x-berg to san diego<, a production in conjunction with the labels head honcho, a paean to his newly adopted stomping ground and the town of his youth. a tough house beat leads with a funky guitar picking out groove along the way, an oscillating vocal hovering into earshot as old-school snares jack it up.

second release already in the pipeline for the brand new project hot potato, featuring a stunning paul loraine track plus a rework made by shaun reeves & tale of us ....... hot ! hot ! hot !

super melancholic techhouse with electro pop feel.. incl remixes by tale of us and booka shade

pattern select aka milton jackson and show-b have gone well and truly back to the raw on this, their first collaborative work together and debut ep for delusions of grandeur. both producers have been busy on some top quality projects just recently with milton jackson remixing recloose for planet e and show b producing for robert owens on compost. the pair met at a party in munich, promptly fell in love, and soon enough pattern select was born. kicking off tale of the tape sees the pair go deep n dark on this low-slung groove where demonic laughter rides the driving hats and insesant crashes until the filtering arpeggiated synth line joins the fun. tale of the dub gives us a stripped back, dub-infused version which goes a little lighter on the craziness of the first version but without losing any of the deep, hypnotic funk.

remerc is no new face to the scene. he has been active for quite some time in the german techno scene and has recently remixed butchs track >muskatnuss< on the trapez ltd 100 anniversary compilation. he had his breakthrough in 2010 with the track >tiny calf< which ended up on the cocoon compilation >party animals< mixed by marco carola and nick curly. remerc opens his release with >ruhewolf<, a restless funkedelic rocker with a beat that juggles elements in a loose and totally cool way. the track is spiced up with elements of surreal bliss and could go on forever were there not the limitations of the vinyl. on the flipside we find an hanne & lore remix that tightens and fattens up the beat and pimps up the basslines. adding some twisted sounds ... making it a clubber par excellence. >just a bards tale< is a unique remerc track and stands out from all the productions he has done so far. here new wave coloured edgy vocals meet a post-detroit string-chord arrangement. sounds adventurous and daring? well it is to some degree... but recall >no more words< by carl craig from 1991 but executed in a dead modern way.

after an impressive debut with thugfuckers >disco gnome<, life and death returns for round two as it once again gives us its slightly psychedelic after-hours take on dance pop. here it s with a remix ep that features two stellar remixes of danish band whomadewho. the first remix comes from tale of us, the young italian duo who were quickly recognized for their incredible remix of disco gnome and who are already being recognized as one of the most promising new electronic acts to come out of italy in the last 5 years. the second remix comes from michael meyer, a pillar of dance music and an outstanding producer who truly needs no introduction. with a dreamy voice and haunting melodies that creep into your brain and stay there until well after the lights have come back up, >every minute alone< seems set to establish the new label as strong voice leading the charge into new territories along the borderline of dance and pop.

solo traxx is the brand new label from matt jam lamont & scott tonic. an instrumental figure throughout the industry over the years - mjl has remixed, produced & collaborated with some of the biggest names in house & uk garage. solo traxx is his new output which specifically concentrates on the sound he has pioneered throughout his career - big catchy grooves with that unmistakeable uk flava, make no mistake these are red hot floor burners

tracks produced, mixed and mastered by dj josh blackwell & miss babayaga dj .... electro house passion !

played by karotte, sebo k, shinedoes... >hamlin< leads us down a path so groovy, its hard to resist this dreamy tale from the very beginning. steady pushing drums define the tracks mood, amounting to a tactful combination of classic deep house vibes flowing freely against solid and functional percussive elements. drifting late night synths and childlike, ethereal chants osmose the mind of the listener, warming and arousing, spreading only positive energy on the dancefloor. deep vibes rec sascha dive takes hamlin off on his own trip, elegantly stripping down the groove of the original and spacing things out even further. this mix is a pure and prolonged snapshot of the orignals travelling mood, building the groove in subtler steps, emphasised by dives treatment of the chanting, spinning vocals and playful, live arrangement. opening with the same finely strung groove as >hamlin<, >snowflakes< introduces a beautiful and delicately dubbed melody amongst its bubbling rhythms

nyc producer / dj alison tara debut with remixes from brennan green(modal/ balihu / chinatown records) and cle ackini(soundproof music / black cherry). two girls is a thumping gritty club tale about two club girls meeting and making out, blendning chicago and newyork elements with a kind of jacking attitude that would make dj sneak proud. brennan green adds some fun with his remix as well as some insane live drum edits backbeating the mix. watch the monster bassline. acklin throws down a straight-up house cut that takes no prisoners
