various artists ep with spacin deep house nuggets

in this offering by the berlin-based and made in the middle east label disco halal, we urge you to meet nadav spiegel, better known as autarkic. autarkic is a self-sufficient artist and live virtuoso, he is the first member of the disco halal family which will be releasing his music in spring 2016. “can you pass the knife?” is about the struggle being stucked in a gap between longing to his homeland and what it could have been like and a heavy criticism on what it actually became. it will be a mini-lp containing 6 mesmerizing songs, “asi keta g”, “solo gun”, “watch out”, “the misorientation of autarkic”, “ufo (space version)” and “tender lies”. that might sound like only a combination of random words now, but after being heard, these songs will help you to enter the embodiment of autarkic​ and allow you to save a piece of his soul on your shelf. shimmering melodies, gibberish language, haunting vocals, extended beat programming and one-take recordings, should mark the beginning of a new disco halal phase. after releasing mainly edits from around the transcultural hemmesphere, the transition to original exquisite music seems to be a necessity.

uk techno veteran broom is one of the most consistent producers in the game and on neon, he delivers four killer dance floor tracks. inspired in equal parts by the swirling, dub techno of chain reaction and the insistent, loopy techno of mid to late-90s jeff mills, the release starts with the steel-plate percussion and churning chord builds of -m19-. broom keeps his focus on that approach for -energy-, where doubled-up claps and clanging chords create an eerie but urgent sensibility, while the title track is a slightly less visceral affair thanks to the inclusion of a sleepy vocal sample amid the churning keys. finally, -involver- sees broom focus his energies elsewhere, its acidic, grimy groove coming across like steve bicknell in a bad mood.

fat dog records continues its quest to deliver timeless electronic music with this polished four track ep by mark hand. deeply personal and reflective peripherals is a milestone for mark whose previous releases have been championed by the likes of prosumer, soulphiction, session victim, russ gabriel and hunee.-jaded- and -another broken sunday- draw inspiration from detroit capturing the beauty of cosmic techno perfectly. assumptions features samples of marks late father playing saxophone alongside sun ra resulting in a profound and meaningful example of modern jazz fusion whilst the title track peripherals draws the ep to a close with a delicate piece of poignant ambience

a industrial callous, caustic and fervently cruel ep. contort yourself has once again gathered the best and boldest from past and present for its fourth ep. to begin with we have the grimacing visage of volition immanent, an intense live act made up of parrish smith and mark van de maat (knekelhuis). behind rawkish distortion, splintered beats and acrid bars screams a boiled anger, a track spitting on the divides of punk and electronics. nastiness is taken up a notch as noise ne er-do-wells zombies under stress take over. static is bent and doubled across thick chords and collapsed clap in the 1986 -maan zal zijn before the raw and raging battery of in onze tijd. l.i.e.s. regular svengalisghost grapples with maan zal zijn, channelling the originals rage into a mechanical monster. the 12inch is bookended with bite as mark forshaw (tabernacle/berceuse heroique) closes with the tortured and torrential thump of submission.

former co-owner of mr peabody infamous record store in chicago, exquisite music connoisseur, deep dj and fresh sounds familiar member mark grusane provides the next in the series of sf 45s. space mountain is a funk fusion monster while in fifth dimension mark shows his darker side pushing the electro/new wave envelope and even providing vocals. once again a sounds familiar winner and another demonstration of marks rich musical palette.

mark e last delivered on futureboogie back in november 2014, so it’s a welcome return to the label for the birmingham based dj & producer. with his merc imprint running on full steam, and previous releases on revered labels like spectral sound and running back, mark is becoming an ever dependent exponent of the real and raw house music vibe, and no more so than on the basement trax ep. basement trax 1, distorted synths wander over a low-slung beat, the marching hi-hats and filter work are tweaked to perfection. it’s a track of basic elements, but done so well, the arrangement building steadily and bags of warmth and soul deep at the heart of this track. the gnarly bass and classic string sounds of basement trax 2 make an ideal companion piece to the a side. delivered in the finest wild-pitch tradition, the raw sounding production packs a punch as the stomping drums and repetitive keys ramp up the heat for a real blazer of an underground club cut.

here we have the fourth and last reference of the “moog your body” series, in which, as always, we have 4 tracks from 4 different artists. for this release we team up with cream soda aka locked club, moscow based duo, that offers a particular vision of acid house with his track “one more night stand”, mixing low-fi jacking and hip-house in a record that will be the artists first vinyl giveaway. the next cut is 6tma’s, our franchise-man. his new mutant rave composition, “joan manuel serato”, more focused towards breaks and uk hardcore, is going to destroy the dance floor again.

coming from geneva (switzerland) but napoletano by heart, pascal viscardi is a new face in the deep-house panorama. the 31 years old fellow started his career (as a producer) a few years ago with 2 twelve inches on *the exquisite pain*, including remixes from some heavy weights: mark e, session victim and agnes.
for his debut on frole records, pascal kicks in with a single track. *the warmest color* is the kind of cut you might play when the sun shows up and the bodies are ready for the slower and sexiest loops. in a totaly modern swiss vibe (did you say agnes...?) this double kicked tune offers you a straight, extra-shuffled, moodygritty and dubby moment. is this love at first sight?! yes, it is...

"you wake from sleep, the door closes by itself and the walls run with slime and rain. a shadow moves, almost familiar, welcoming and simultaniously intimidating. the candle flickers and snuffs out. a noise. your torch is dying. something takes your hand. long fingernails and old skin. you mark the floor, chant the incantation. together. in the first of our split series we present two modern artists who’s imaginations know no limit. abstract drones, anchient machinery, neon cities within the shadow of the overfiend. heading up side a is the legendary cristoph de babalon, whose work in the late 90s on digital hardcore and his own cfet proved to be some of the most unique and timeless of the period. seperated by european boarders, the reigns are taken by triames, cutting the rhythms to explore techno as a more abstract concept, beautifully detailed work in between lustmord and emptyset. giallo disco is proud to present ‘invocation of the demon twin vol. 1′ possibly the most sinister and atmospheric release to date, and also one of our most special. art by eric lee."

perbec is mark broom and baby ford. their last vinyl outing was -variety club- for the seminal ifach imprint in 2001. here they return with -chaser- an epic journey into the original principles of house music. infectious bass, chicago-style keys and deep, analog synth pads announce that the party is very much in full force. flip the disc for -long john- which features stripped rhythms with plenty of swing and energy - equally suited to the main room or afterhours. mastered at d & m.

kicking of 2015 in class, pathway traxx brings you this delicious (or should we say deelicious) dose of disco and raw house grooves. following our well honoured tradition, we have worked hard to unearth some fresh up and coming talent, and they definitely step up to the mark with this ep.

the second installment of uzuri’s “the wilderness sessions” delivers 3 tracks geared towards the refined dancers and listeners of the world. the idea here is slow burning broken beat tracks infused with the soul of jazz and funk. the ep opens with fox ‘n hound, a slightly menacing and equally sexy jam which ebbs and flows with a delightfully funky bass line and enough melodic accents to keep full attention. the secret here is in the details which are craft-fully manipulated by this talented duo. futonjam continues the trend of beautifully unfolding composition with its shuffled percussion and gracefully evolving melodies. a perfect track for home listening and for those deep sultry moments on the dance floor. the crown jewel of this release is certainly the near 9 minute odyssey that is zukunft/ silber. a track which entertains and pushes towards a sophisticated style which is undeniably unique in approach. using broken patterns as a back drop for beautifully orchestrated strings, micro flutes and longing horns it transforms from a sweet and delicate sound to something more demanding of our bodies movement. this release will be sure to mark the beginning of what we can expect from these two producers who clearly aim to set themselves apart from the crowd.

the peer pressure ep from the under-rated mark forshaw finds scenery records once again highlighting the rich strain of local production talent in the liverpool area. involved in the merseyside scene since the 90s, forshaw has released on labels like mathematics, tabernacle and apartment and is also a member of phantom planet outlaws with john heckle and binny. if you ve checked forshaw s prior output you will be happy with peer pressure as soon as the grubby, jacked up house of the title track hits its groove, with his four other cuts heading down a similarly unpredictable path. kudos to scenery for seeking out swedish producer daniel andreasson to remix the title track too! this is another no nonsense ep from scenery that is lovably rugged and unpredictably creative
