following their last 12 inch from nightwave, svetlana industries remain in their eastern european heartland with a long awaited ep from 1000names, the bulgarian production duo who made their debut alongside rustie on the now legendary >beatnicks< ep back in 2007. the >machine city< ep follows 2010s album and ep for black acre, as well as mixing for mary anne hobbs on radio 1 and recommendations in pitchfork. the ep marks a development from 1000names, taking giant steps on from their base in the beats scene towards a new sound, taking influence from giorgio moroder and analogue synth disco to imagine a future both optimistic and dystopian. it is like john carpenter meets hip hop and it is as good as that sounds.

big vinyl ep on ton liebt klang! full of remixes by felix bernhardt (afulab) and ingo boss (cocoon records).

the producer behind these mind-blowing slabs of heavyweight disco-funk perfection was one jp source, an exile from the geordie ibiza (that will be blackpool) and geordie mecca (erm, newcastle) now living out in the sticks in the states, far from home. the eps title, >get your bearings<, is reference to his struggles to come to terms with his new surroundings.
three tracks, all tried and tested, all disco dynamite. since he sent us these killer edits, jp source has begun to pick up interest elsewhere. he recently released an excellent ep of original material on audio parallax and has material forthcoming on edit, zzr and art star records. we reckon he has got a big future. all the more reason to >get your bearings< and dive into his bedmo disco debut…

due june 20th. two tracks of urban psychedelia from the heart of l.a.
beaches of the black sea is an ambitious chugger filled with flamenco guitars and synths. the b-side stealing the fire from heaven is a more experimental cut with neo-industrial rhythms and a rolling bassline. the past two releases have seen support from davude mancuso, francois k, and andrew weatherall to name just a few.

the mojuba sublabel a.r.t.less is very proud to present the debut album by detroit techno veteran martin bonds aka reel by real. after 2010s retrospective of his most seminal work including some collaborations with juan atkins and anthony shake shakir, these are the first new tracks under his reel by real moniker since almost two decades and it seems like it could have never been a better timing for it than now! these nine new pieces of music are showing their unique fresh colours of detroit techno in a way they could have been only created by someone like marty bonds who is always striving to find his very own way in musical creativity. this album takes you on a great multifaceted journey through one of americas definitive music capitals and the birthplace of techno narrated by one of its very own musicians and a true ambassador of its soundtrack! to support the scene of authentic detroit artists the cover illustration for this album was created by abdul haqq from third earth visual arts who is still (after more than 20 years) giving detroit techno a visual face with his artworks for the likes of underground resistance, transmat, red planet just to name a few! enjoy the resurrection of reel by real with this very special debut album

digitally remastered edition of this 1975 album from gil scott-heron and his musical partner in crime, brian jackson. from south africa to south carolina includes the single -johannesburg- which brought to our attention the resistance to the apartheid regime in south africa. this album consolidated gil scott-heron and bran jackson as major label artists and gave them an r&b chart single and a wider audience.

holy grail alert!! possibly the most sought after cosmic disco lp in the galaxy!!! black hole was a brazil only release with four superlong tracks, themed around heroes and movies. the 4 super killer tracks are bursting with dope space sirens, arpeggio synths and spaced out sound effects. all thrillers, no fillers, here is a chance to get the epic i feel love styled me and my superfriends track so sought after by collectors. ultra limited press, sleep and weep!!!

the word genius is not a term we like to use loosely when speaking about our artists but giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor experiment fits the bill. a gifted musician, soft synth designer, found sound pioneer and he still finds time to make forward thinking disco pop for bearfunk as tobor experiment >disco experience<.
after a well received ep in 2008 we sent giorgio back to the studio with the remit to make an lp so special that it could open new doors for us. well he certainly delivered! opening with the sweet modern disco sounds of >postcards from a nervous breakdown< we then get the first taste of giorgios song writing prowess with >breathe< a rather intense little number.

sao paulos techno titan returns. gui boratto needs little introduction - after all he has played pretty much every corner of the globe, placing himself as one of the most in-demand producers and performers in dance music today. its summer and kompakts bomb for the season is about to explode. just in time for his extensive european tour throughout july. the drill embraces the classic kompakt shaffel but delivered in a chalice of class that only gui boratto is capable of drinking from. a roaring bass line that sways side to side in layers of euphoric harmony. bold – brazen. boratto. stems from hell is classic boratto. guitar-esque chording launches this depth charge that is just pure build. tension and release – you sense this track can almost breath on its own. the moments are near perfect in this swelling that reaches a fever pitch right when you think it would never come. there will be more from gui boratto in 2011....stay tuned.

killer hardsytle

diese keith hudson aufnahme von 1974 ist so etwas wie ein verlorenes schmuckst?ck, das wegen seines gesangsstil in den letzten jahren immer mehr an bedeutung gewonnen hat. untergebracht in einem sonnigen cover artwork klang entering the dragon mit keith hudosns unverwechselbarem vocal style zu seiner zeit wahrscheinlich ziemlich erschreckend, wirkt aber heutztage wie ein wendepunkt in der entwicklung von dancehall und hip hop. besonders highlights sind st?cke wie will you come out tonight , it was when friends started to talk about you und rage of love !

when some collaborations occur, it feels like fate has been paying close attention, planning something special. on one hand: bugge wesseltoft, pianist, composer and pioneer of electronic jazz, on the other: henrik schwarz, one of the most sought after producers of electronic music who has remixed stars from michael jackson to ane brun. this combination may not seem as radical as once it might, as in the days before bugges new conception of jazz, but the results most certainly are: this does not feel like your typical electronic jazz outing. its a super-group in microcosm. wesseltoft comes from a jazz background and has moved towards electronic music. he started on the ecm label with jan garbarek, and later collaborated with club music legends like laurent garnier and francois kervorkian on stage. schwarz comes from the chicago/ detroit techno culture, and performs at music festivals and in clubs on all continents. he has been moving towards the jazz and improvisation

following on from our ludicrous but well-received sci-fi covers album >from the stars volume 1< in 2010 we thought it was time for a sequel. cue the hyper-driven >from the stars volume 2<, an album full of disco and synthy-themed cover versions from obscure and not-so-obscure science fiction. we must be out of our interstellar minds...

mark stewart first made his presence felt as the front man for the pop group in the late 1970s. they were pioneers of the post punk dance sound and had success with singles such as >she is beyond good and evil<, and >we are all prostitutes<. when the band split in 1980, mark joined the emerging on u sound crew as a part time member of the new age steppers. he then went on to form his own band with keith leblanc and doug wimbish, the rhythm section of the sugar hill gang, and guitarist skip mcdonald. with adrian sherwood and his production magic at the controls, the maffia unleashed an awesome mix of styles that sounded like bootsy collins jamming over a bootleg jah shaka tape in an urban warzone. this incredible mix of funk, dub and electronic overload pre empted techno and drum & bass by years. mark stewart, often copied, never bettered. the film retraces the singers steps and paths from the early days of the pop group right up to the present. schifer, who followed mark around for a full 3 years, has crafted a detailed, often intimate portrait of the artist, supplemented by interviews with a. o. mark stewart himself, adrian sherwood (on.u sound), daniel miller (mute records), nick cave, mick harvey, doug wimbish, skip mcdonald, keith leblanc, douglas hart (the jesus & mary chain), fritz catlin (23 skidoo), mike watt (minutemen, the stooges), gareth sager (the pop group, rip rig and panic), dan catsis (the pop group), john waddington (the pop group) janine rainforth (maximum joy), massive attack, keith levine (p.i.l.) and many others, plus never seen live recordings and music clips

horror disco melds these soundtrack and aural ideas with a 100% disco album. one that drifts away from most of the soulful elements of disco and one that is dirtier, warmer and less polished than contemporary scandinavian nu-disco. the album is wide and varied - slashdance gives us a goblin-esque robo-vocoder-disco, roger bacon is pure cosmic groove, whilst the italo-disco-thriller disco for the devil features the vocals of italian-based, uk-born session master douglas meakin – who back in the day was lead vocalist in simonetti s easy going and crazy gang cult disco projects.

a classical neil young album mastered from the original analog master tapes

corporate stand for : hard, dark, jackin techno! 3 wicked hardtechno release combined in one special limited sales pack. this is hard techo to the bone, play out loud, but at your own risk!

these are only a few of many excellent appraisals for kasper bjørkes second album >standing on top of utopia< which was released in april last year and followed by strong singles and remixes from the album, most recently >heaven< with mixes by nicolas jaar, muzzle flash and prins thomas. with the >symptoms< ep we are happy to present an ep full of brandnew material. while we wait for kaspers next solo album, currently in production and set for a 2012 release, here is a treat of new and unreleased material for you! other than the rather vocal driven singles >young again<, >alcatraz< or >heaven< these four new instrumentals contain both slow disco vibes and rave style anthems. >symptoms< is a constantly moving, synth driven bastard, that provides a crunchy baseline and a wonderfully strange theme that is hard to get your head around. if this track was a movie, it would be x-rated and only shown after midnight - exactly around the time where you would drop this on the dancefloor and look forward to what happens. - initial pressing in coloured yellow vinyl!

first of 3 volumes taken from the incredibly rare japan only cd release inner films 70 from 2009. the sketch is simple, modern disco artists take on seminal film scores from the 70s and give them a twist. first we have norweigan disco wizard prins thomass take on the theme from rocky – gonna fly now. all live instrumentation… thisll rock your socks off. on the flip japanese artist foog (mule musiq) gives the theme from close encounters of the third kind a new lick of paint, while fellow japanese sonic adventurer hideo kobayashi (apt. international / bite grooves) turns rhapsody in blue into a tech-y workout.
