• very limited vinyl pressing features solid remixes from carl finlow and pip williams
franck collin, aka fleck e.s.c, is an electro artist originally from france but currently living in tokyo. franck’s earlier experience playing bass and drums in bands and his love of horror, science fiction and b-movies, naturally drove him to the electro scene. with additional influences rooted in new wave, contemporary, techno and ambient, fleck e.s.c tries to avoid the clichés of electro, leaning more toward the spooky side of horror and sci-fi and the cheap retro sounds in tribute of the movies he loves. never too serious or pretentious and always striving for fresh sounds, fleck e.s.c’s music aims to distract the body and the brain.

hailing from berlin, but spiritually from chi-town, snuff crew are back in your area with some freshly served up basement goodies once again. following on from basement jams #1, from all the way back in 2011, the boys bring us tracks with the same playful nature as before but, dare i say it, they go even harder this time. stalwart fans of the first release can stop reading now because it will almost certainly be a blind-buy for you, four tracks obviously engineered for use in the club, whether its the massive kick in ‘what it is’ or the ravey acid lead in ‘88cents’. the jams on the b-side may do the most damage. ‘remember’ holds absolutely nothing back, with its arpeggiated bassline lead and crisper than crisp 909 drum programming. analog is a term that gets bandied about all the time nowadays, ever since so many young producers became enamoured with tape compression and hiss delay plug-ins. i know snuff crew are real analog guys though, in sound and mentality, so hearing basement jams #2 for the first time had me so excited once again.

office 04 circles in memories: the record is about johannes * iron curtis* palukas time at karl-marx-straße berlin where he used to live next door to label head baaz and graphic designer chris fladung. a1 track * magnet* is an ecstatic piece of house music holding all elements ics production is esteemed and loved for : heavy, unrelenting kicks, rolling bass lines, shimmering pads, topped with searing hot yet gamelan-like synts and an icing of slightly loose, detuned organ stabs predesting grand emotions on any dance floor. * what happened happened* surely marks up as another proof of curtis fearless takes on house music: distorted field recordings and blurred spoken words, a web of gossamer melodies and subtle clicks and cuts, all cohered by the louche bassline and the reshuffled groove in a true dilla-ish vein. adapting elements to their own agenda, clandestine groove explorers berg turn * what happened* into a true midnight roller: razor-sharp hihitas join forces with a steam-maschine like percussion, whipping relentlessly in-between kick drum and kick drum. berg cools off their take with prancing melody motifs and strung out pads of the original track, though never loosing focus of the * reductions* aim: keep the dancer dancing.

impossibly rare sweet soul & funk from the vaults of miami s bold records (a subsidiary of the mighty t.k. disco label). there s scant information on reid inc as a group but the album boasts some gorgeous soulful melodies from the all female personnel and features stellar string & horn arrangements from miami studio stalwart mike lewis (blowfly, kc & the sunshine band, latimore, fern kinney) & is produced by the mighty clarence reid who has written, recorded & produced too many records to list here (betty wright, wilson pickett, dusty springfield, bobby byrd, gwen mccrae) throughout his 50+ year career. this is a real rarity, a record that fetches top, top dollar ($500 plus) on-line among soul, funk & disco aficionados. -what am i gonna do- has been comped numerous times but this is the first time the whole lp has been re-mastered & re-issued on vinyl (having previously only been re-released on cd in japan) brought to you in conjunction & with the permission of t.k. disco / henry stone music, miami usa.
the soul notes imprint has never restricted itself to just one sound. ever since it emerged in late 2011, the basque county based outfit has shown several sides of its identity and has developed into a diverse and well balanced home. one of the labels usual suspects is cologne native, adryiano. after reaping some havoc with his efforts on the snx series early last year, adryiano has been crafting his down south ep (ironically) somewhere in the north rhine-westphalian concrete jungle. the down south ep is buldging with deep sine basses, fine rhythmic synthwork and lavish but hefty beats. the title track showcases these exact things best. the essence of adryiano s latest effort is still somewhat hard to pin down. a lot of different moods are going on throughout the ep while the overall sounds maintains it s own glance. from the deep machinefunk on down south to the broken beats of feel what you do. all of these bits have a nice theme to them.
brooklyns person of interest returns to l.i.e.s. after his widely celebrated *call this number* debut from last year. once again we hear p.o.i. delivering the goods on the subtle yet massive*-what you think you want* with its phazed flutes, sleazy vocal, and rough house beats. *keep it moving* does just that on the b-side, again with a slinky laid back and somewhat sinister feel, whereas *my 97s* almost has a grime/uk kind of swing to it. comes in an amazing full sleeve picture cover designed by pete leonard and p.o.i. dancefloor approved.
the mainz based label klamauk° are very proud to announce the upcoming release of the debut lp by roman rauch, which will be dropping on vinyl and digital in march 2015. romans pedigree as a producer is second to none and he has enjoyed long term collaborations with labels such as philpot, endless flight and also klamauk°. his focus has always been on dusty samples, slowed down grooves and weighty rhythm sections and his first excursion into the longplayer format is a tour de force. the 7 track (+ 3 fx shorts) mini lp draws on romans influences ranging from cutup hip hop, years of digging for samples and also more dancefloor tendencies. roman weaves his way from slowmo, broken beat excursions to more heads down deep house music that has equal levels of groove and intensity.
