the disco theatre of manhattan delivers !

ultimate block party breaks volume 4 continues the tradition that began in the bronx in the 1970’s, where “break djs” would take that one part of the record that dancers would go absolutely crazy for. that part where all the music breaks down to nothing but the essence: drums and percussion. these are all truly timeless beats that sound as fresh today as they did when the founding fathers like kool herc, bam, flash and hollywood were catching them for the frst time in community centers throughout the city. we’ve edited and extended these breaks for maximum effect on the dancefloor - so you don’t have to. enjoy!

breakbeat paradise recordings is turning back time to the early 70s when funk music was made by talented musicians joining forces in bands with the objective to create the next big funk anthem. so many big tunes and classic funk productions came out of this era and it also harnessed a new breed of funk bands across the globe who is dedicated to continuing the legacy of the funk music in the new millennium.

soaked in jazzy late night grooves, blissed out piano chords and glistening beats, it’s another essential release from a label that’s quickly rising to prominence.
following on from the soul-drenched disco excursions of ross from friends’ debut ep, newcomer rgl’s ‘1 thing’ ep spans 3 dusty deep house cuts built from the ground up to do the dance-floor damage. rgl is the moniker of tokyo based producer rigly chang, who’s also part of the tokyo based cosmopolyphonic collective. his affinity for intimate dance music brings soft textures and moods that stretch into the listener, bringing a new kind of warmth to the club.

promos, edits, mega-mixes, the record pools, white labels, acetates, reel to reels. all of the above were the weapons of choice for the disc jockey s of yesteryear, utilising these tools helped various luminaries pave the way for where we are today on the modern dance-floor. those secret mixes, private versions and edits of the hottest disco jams that only the select few had access to could make or break a dj s reputation in the clubs and on the streets. it is within this world that the for discos only label operates, sourcing the finest underground edits and mixes for the discotheques. we carefully hand pick and dig for obscure or forgotten versions of the best tracks that may have been previously out of reach for the majority, inviting the hottest editors and mixers to open up their archives and share their secret weapons with us all via the medium of the 12- record.

lake people, the man with a knack for aural subtleties, is spot-on with his first ep for uncanny valley. over the course of four tracks he showcases a quiet different approach compared to the sophisticated house music the leipzig based artist released on labels like permanent vacation or connaisseur recordings. on -break the pattern- he relies heavily on the good old boom tschak-paradigm of electro, without completely giving up his trademark sound. -level msk- combines staccato-type chords with a stuttering beat that stick in your mind. the acidic -september futuristic- with its stoic drumming has almost a krautrock feel to it. on the flipside, the playful -chords in chorus- feels like an early contender for this year s summer anthem with chords and acid lines from heaven. the ep closes with -pull off-, a perfect example for lake people s ability to compose tracks with an emotional depth.

while the original album quiet distortion still resonates on dance floors around the world, we are more than happy to present to you a wonderful and versatile remix package of select album tracks. we believe the lineup of remixers really speaks for itself:

after countless releases on his own label alleanza it was finally time for the maltese artist to break new soil. as gregor tresher received these 3 demos and was immediately convinced about their high potential and standout class. so give it up for jewel kid s bns debut

wareika steps up for the amphias 12th vinyl chapter. the german trio walks off the beaten techno trail, applying just enough pressure on the bassline pedal to envelope your attention on the sinusoidal theme from break new sol, revealing at the end a rewarding guitar solo, hidden all this time under the crisp percussions. on a train again completes side a, with its industrial ambient modulations steadily stabbed by the derailed cadence.
sit reinterprets wareika on side b: a more dancefloor oriented take, with just a few breaks from the devilish rhythm, enough to give the crowd some time to breathe into the tracks odd atmosphere. wareika s playful harmony makes a great addition to amphias musical path.

double 12 inch vinyl box plus double cd and 48 page hardback book with essay and unseen photos from the fil set. original soundtrack recording from the 1976 sci-fi movie “the man who fell to earth”, starring david bowie.

norah jones has come full circle with day breaks, her remarkable sixth album which finds her returning to her jazz roots while also proving her to be this era’s quintessential american artist, the purveyor of an unmistakably unique sound that weaves together the threads of several bedrock styles of american music: country, folk, rock, soul, jazz. day breaks is a kindred spirit to come away with me, though it is unquestionably the work of a mature artist who has lived life and grown immensely in her craft. the album features jazz luminaries including shorter, smith, and blade, who played drums on norah’s debut and became the backbone (and backbeat) of the new album.
the vinyl lp comes in a gefold sleeve with download code included.

with his new artist album quiet distortion ready for release this summer, gregor tresher once again sets sail to break new soil, proving why he is considered to be one of the most consistent artists in the universe of techno music.

the hungarian drum & bass innovator jade, known as head honcho of neurofunk powerhouse eatbrain, returns to citrus recordings. for the a-side none other than break takes up remix duties reworking jade’s “what you are” that was originally released on his own imprint back in 2014. continuing with “monstereo” we hear a more rolling, pumped up groove underlined by tear up bass sounds and fueled by hyperactive arpeggios.

it is more than astounding why this tune hasn t been resurrected for an ad for one of the many chain of fast food outlets. although the original 45 is neither superrare nor expensive, finger licken chicken is certainly one of the finest examples of philly funk. it was originally released on leoso but was re-released on the yew label. both sides were written by sonny fulton who teamed up with sandra for a killer r&b-ish funk cut on the flip titled back breaking love

april showers bring may flowers, but this april claude vonstroke brings you the rain break. inspired by two different songs from the 80s - (razes classic break for love and oran juice jones the rain), claude has replayed and re-sung all the music from scratch to make a special cover tune of both tracks changed and combined into a surefire dirtybird classic. to quote vonstroke, i kept singing the break for love bassline over and over again in my head but the vocal that always popped in over the top was from the oran juice jones. i cant explain why that happened but i just thought they went together so well that i ran with it.here comes the b is a much weirder affair. built with massive psychedelic effects, a huge kick and almost no hi-hat pattern, this is late night cavemen music at its best. this big release from cvs will have you wishing for a downpour so you can go walking in the rain.

alex aq constructed “don’t break” and “shake it” as a reflection of the sounds heard at the club. pounding drums, rhythmic, scattered synths, white noise, and choice vocal snips that send you into a trance are the core characteristics of both tracks created by the cubanmeister.
on the flip, myles serge of knotweed records and his own label (ms) remixes “don’t break it”, taking it in a trippy direction, with 808 drums and dreamy stabs that sound fresher than ever.
last but not least, lpz’s own techno duo p. lopez & octavio take “shake it” and turn it into a techno monster consisting of heavy stabs and an undeniable groove.

in seiner glanzvollen karriere remixte er bereits lcd soundsystem, depeche mode, coldcut, the xx, moby und viele andere. mit seinem label turbo verhalf er neuen künstlern wie duke dumont, chromeo, gesaffelstein oder boyz noize zum durchbruch. außerdem arbeitete er regelmäßig mit koryphäen wie james murphy und pusha t zusammen. auf no fantasy required erhält er nun verstärkung von hudson mohawke und jake shears von den scissor sisters. mit no fantasy required hat tiga in zusammenarbeit mit erfolgsproduzent matthew dear und dem finnischen genie jori hulkkonen (der auch live mit ihm performt) eine platte geschaffen, auf der er sich ehrlicher, offener und verspielter fühlt, wie er sagt. es hat immer eine sehr fruchtbare kreative spannung im herzen von tigas musik gegeben: auf der einen seite ist er der underground techno don, auf der anderen seite wohnt ihm eine pop-sensibilität inne, die es ihm ermöglicht herausragende songs zu schreiben. es ist diese dualität, die ihn zu einem der fesselndsten charaktere der elektronischen musik macht.

gregor tresher already liked mars bill s tracks on suara and intacto a lot but when he heard these demos he was immediately convinced to sign this new italian artist on his label break new soil. and when he received the basic channellesque remix from heiko laux from the kanzleramt, he was sure to have a true gem on his stick. do you agree

with the two fellows enrico sangiuliano & frankyeffe from italy gregor tresher again proves his talent to discover great new artists for his label break new soil. enrico s releases on drumcode and secret cinema s gem records and franky s tracks for flash and trapez were already high quality documentations of their exceptional studio skills but combining forces pushed their output to another level. peaktime techno at its best.

with label boss digweed a huge fan, bedrock is yet another perfect fit for the german and he opens his account with the mighty, melodic and kraken esque goliath and the razor-sharp lightning bolt that is stormblade .

a collection of some of the rawest funk ever committed to plastic, vintage 45 s that no serious collector should be without

kepler is no exception to that approach. a tough groove, backed by an enormous bass drum marches forward, while the looped melody patterns keep the energy flowing. the well-structured break downs and crisp hats will provide maximum impact on a proper dancefloor near you. cosmic vision takes us on an excursion into deep space. the sleek slow burner morphs tripped-out, effect filled pads with funk-driven percussion sounds. going full throttle midway, after a mysterious voice starts leading the way.

two mixes of mr raoul ks opus break your chains and return to botswana. kaito takes a step back and uses parts of mr raoul ks tricky beats as a rock solid base to build his soundscapes on. his mix is like the soundtrack to a movie dealing with alienated individuals who try to escape imprisonment through an endless desert.

today gregor returns home with two slamming new tracks, both of which are the result of hours of tweaking and testing whilst on the road this summer. midas is built around a stripped back single-riff groove. minimal elements and maximum effect show that gregor still has that midas touch. on the flip and easily living up to its name is disturber. its snarling synth takes centre stage, intimidating and unsettling. but as the kick drum thumps and the intensity builds, disturber suddenly returns to the dark shadows.

this ep bristles with character and proves that moon harbour is still the leader when it comes to tech house, no matter who is making it for them.
