willie burns and aroy dee on remix duty ... golden combo! sequencias is slowly building their profile with their outsider house,acid and chicago rooted tracks. hailing from new york, just as likeminded labels wt records and l.i.e.s., sequencias is delivering the goods! another place, another time is an epic track and willie burns stepped over his shadow. trippy and full of tension, slow building without taking the paved path. killer track! we could say the same on the aroy dee remix, however he is going more in the chicago direction and with adding dramatic strings. truly epic!

supported by ricardo villalobos, richie hawtin, raresh, m.a.n.d.y., andre galluzzi, ryan crosson, meat, matt star, franksen, mozaic. mr. jens zimmermann is back again with an new 12 minute deep techno bass killer. no more words necessary. on the flipside we have brilliant deep detroit techno from our man silvio marquardt from greifswald, germany. in this track things happen and happen and it goes directly into your brain. just lay down, listen, relax or just dance to that music.

fear of flying unleash their first ever lp with dutchman ivano tetelepta undertaking the honours. the 8 tracks on the vinyl are a step away from the traditional straight up 4/4 route that fof usually tread, feeling that for an lp to make a splash in the modern era it has to be more about the flow of tracks as a whole, rather than just a double pack of straight up house beats. there has to be a splash more emotion and feeling with the emphasis on mood. yet that isnt to say there arent club worthy tracks, far from it. the glorious twisted 120 and deep tech funk 119 are custom made for the dancefloor and are exclusive to the vinyl release

boris bunnik goes under many aliases. numerous smaller projects, some huge faceless projects but mostly known and well respected for his conforce project. as versalife he found his way to the clone familia for his night time activities project, and around this same period we just managed to pull out the best suitable tracks for frustrated funk. versalife is electro-techno in its purest form. deep and intense analog rhythms with crisp percussion patterns slightly touching the more experimental side of things. this ep is a nice balanced mixture of industrial drone material to more classic sounding electro with versalifes own signature strength. highly recommended as always!

a shift from monochrome to full colour sleeves signifies the start of a new phase for space cadets. the chambers of apogee ep comes from anonymous debutant lyterian, an exclusive signing to space cadets. masterfully employing the hypnotically dark rhythms of mid-90s jungle and applying them to a contemporary d&b framework ... the real question is just who is lyterian?
original sleeve artwork is once again contributed by us illustrator theo ellsworth. all vinyl pressed to extra heavy 180g acetate.

dusty baron aka latecomer may be a recent arrival on the scene, but he plays like a true veteran. a mysterious export from the around same eastern latitudes as label boss vakula, his music, much like vs, sounds just as rooted in the post soviet russian landscape as it is in the post industrial north america which gave rise to all the soul and machine funk that is the driving inspiration for so many of todays roots conscious electronic artists. vakula takes the controls on side a with dubwise and exotic production skills whilst side b showcases the barons heavy heavy chops, with drum programming as deft as his keys work, and a sound which is equal parts earthly and heavenly. sides c & d (on bonus 7inch) see v step up to offer two takes on >follow shot<, continuing the theme of techno tinged jazz cosmism. a noble introduction, by way of collaboration, to the dusty baron and his sound, and yet another installment in lelekas continuing contribution to the musical space time continuum.

van bonn returns after his release maserung on telrae in april 2011. van bonn has been in the studio a lot since then and has worked on a number of tracks that are highlighted here. onwards i is an excursion into sound. it starts with sounds that interact in a subtle way but then as if by magic, suddenly it rises to a much higher energy level, almost pulling you by the hair. chords now kick in with the full force of brutality, like the strikes of london’s big ben and then you’d think the track will just burst. van bonn makes another turn before he lets the drums break loose. it seems as if van bonn is taming the brutality and direction of his electronic machines. abstract now meets the concrete and whoever wins the fight is up to the listener to decide. the first remix comes by raffaele attanasio who has had considerable success with der pianist and i m a jazzman and has collaborated with trapez ltd artist mihalis safras, a. trebor (trapez), as well as claude young, nic fanciulli and has shown his versatility throughout the last 3 years. juan atkins recently featured raffaele attanasio remix of no mans land by a. trebor in his charts.his remix for van bonn keeps up a strong beat programming right from the beginning. a beat monster so to speak is alive from the beginning and kicking. the track is written in a style that shows expansion and contraction and through that shows an organic breathing quality.

cabin fever keep dropping tip bombs and this one landed just in time for the festive season. the bomb is mine is an all out party monster which has already been getting the shutter rise of approval at the panorama bar. for spencer is well, all about a young mans struggle of finding fame and fortune through edm but then ending up lost in the lab! so.two super sized party tracks that will help the struggling greek economy.

twisted spooky hypnotic tech monster , just brilliant

tablon is a new france based independent record label. supporting artists with a characteristic style, tablon releases music by passion, developing its own vision of todays and tomorrows dance music.
after a first ep by arnaud linked in a certain way to greece, tablon 002 will come from istanbul. far from us the idea to make a worldwide music label or refer to any old war between two countries. it just happened like that. sarp makes amazing music and we are proud to present his new ep. it is called >i care because you dont<, the artwork is made by nefelie and the mastering by mathieu berthet in paris. as we care a lot about the vinyl thing, our releases appear first on 12 inch vinyl.

250 copies (only vinyl) secret name for a big artist.the end user has now become obsolete. we are just an entity that sell goods. we are not the target but on the contrary a mean to make profit.

having surfaced with a few potted releases in the mid-nineties, my love is underground have taken it upon themselves to call upon las teflon dons to reissue three punchy lessons in that currently most mined of house music eras. theres no arguing with the authenticity of a track like planet eater, as the subby bass and pounding drums take the lead with just subtle dabs of noise and samples chilling in the background. sun fist rising has a more rounded atmosphere, leaning on layers of keys and a classic garage shuffle for a sweet and soulful end result, while psycho ray gets on a darker tip with creepy vocal samples and moody organ bass

continuing their forays into the world of yesteryear grooves unabated, those pesky hell-dwelling lumberjacks are at it again, this time drafting in o boogie and red greg for some disco funk finesse for the smoothest get-downs. o boogie lords it over the first side, leaning heavy on a rich piano hook that hammers lower register chords over an incessant disco tick, while evergreen track >papa was a rolling stone< gets re-versioned in such a floor-burning fashion you will need asbestos boots just to get out alive. red gregs >inner rhythm< plies familiar tropes into a sweet instrumental groove that makes all the right moves.

hello listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners. this is the future of the music industry. not the music, just the idea of the artists writing their own pr faffle. next year ill probably have to carry my own bags on tour too tragic.

time for the second round in jouems epic episodes project, so what can we expect from this talented musician after convincing with every piece of music ever released by him for just another beat and mojuba … well, nothing but pure musical bliss! jouem takes you on three new journeys into his very own mesmerizing sound universe! as usual all tracks are mastered by our man redshape!

r&s welcome new signing mpia3 to the label with a doublepack of uncompromising techno. mpia3 is a production alias of truss (perc trax) who has just the two eps preceding this on shifteds avian label. >your orders< see him continue down the path of raw, industrial, seriously funky, acid techno. his signature overdriven kicks recall classic robert armani and his sound harks back to the days of mike dearbourn and djax up beats, and the classic uk techno of ben sims and james ruskin but the tracks on >your orders< could have only been made in 2012. this is heavyweight music built for proper soundsystems and dark rooms. the six tracks on the ep straddle different tempos with some slick drum programming, but are tied together with some razor sharp synths and a healthy dose of acid.

having swiftly carved a niche for himself amongst the likes of perc, ben gibson returns to sect to deliver more of his brooding and engaging techno. there is a great emphasis on sound design and atmospherics in the two tracks on quien es?, as ominous clangs and tense tones hang heavy over rugged drum workouts. >ceased to gasp< is the more industrial of the two, but still allows for a melodic slant in the cavernous echoes that define the track. >remain< adopt a swirling, psychedelic approach to sonic decoration that draws you in just as it continues flooring you, like all good techno should. highly recommended.

away from the hypnotic mayhem of the floating roofscapes, we see fractured images cycling faster. just as clouds follow the wind, airy soundscapes track the low-end groundwork with grainy artifacts bursting in amongst the thick. lost in this surrounding ambience, the b side carves its way with a resonant materiality where shattering hi-hats pull you out of a hypnotic semi-dormant state. (b2) enters a sound voyage, an intimate balance between gloomy atmospheres, dark sirens and repeated upcoming unidentified melodies, that play against the ceaseless motion of the hi-hat motive.

after the zohar comes black dynamite aka ivano tetelepta – another well kept secret in the house music scene. on his city to city ep the man delights us with three raw and extremely funky tracks which display a deep love for oldschool hip-hop beats. in fact, these three tracks oscillate heavily between stripped down, soulinfluenced house and instrumental hip-hop. and everyone who knows tenderpark will immediately understand that this is just the perfect synthesis of some of our main interests.

incl 2 bit crew, lgg, volta cab and rosenhaft. 2 bit crews just cant seem. taking a sound heavily influenced by the underground house music / garage sound of the 90s, this is a bumping groove with a driving bassline and hatswith a simple female vocal sample that will stick in your brain. the second track takes things deeper with bastien carrara aka lgg with let me, smooth rhodes chords with a love sensation sample underpinned by raw beats and sub-bass. on the second side things get a little tougher. the third track is from a producer who has had many releases already on labels such as balance alliance, seven music and undertones, konstantyn isaev, better known as volta cab. his track what is underground focuses primarily on a killer bassline, retro synth stabs and a cheeky hip-hop sample used to great effect. finally is haim rosenhaft, a young producer from israel with 1992, his homage consists of an old school organ sound with heavy kicks and snares influenced by the sound of labels like umm and cleveland city in the 90s. again this will be a vinyl only release

deep catchy grooves, chary little synth lines, catchy grooves and spoken words cooked and served by spanish dj and producer carlos sanchez.

bergerac releases are few and far between. just 3 singles and one album since september 2010, all self penned by label boss red rack em. he has pushed his hybrid sound of woozy deep house and arid bass driven garage techno into the hearts and minds of the scenes elite including four tet, mike huckaby, mcde, magda, move d and axel boman. the 4th release introduces a new artist and sound to bergerac, seetheroad is a mysterious outsider with an impeccable techno pedigree. words are kind of useless when quality of this depth is on offer.
early dj support from kyle hall, ame, axel boman and hunee.

one of figures most prolific artists, a.mochi offers up his first ever ep for figure spc, with 2 especially subterranean and highly charged tracks. mochi, who last year released his outstanding >primordial soup< lp on figure, continues to tread the line between functional club techno, and post-apocalyptic mechanical soundtracks. the well-defined a side burner, >riff< charges along with textured, woody percussion at its heart, and mochis trademark white noise ensemble pushing the high frequencies. a reduced, classically minimalist work, the track relies on just a handful of elements to induce a real fever on the dancefloor. following closely in its footsteps is >sunset<, a deeper cut with hi-tech atmospheres and intricate percussion at its core. metallic synths surge under mochis wall of bass, and the straight-ahead ebb of the sharp hats and claps edge this monster into even darker zones.

andreas saag returns to local talk with a follow-up to his back to life ep, this time he has invited longtime friend and studio partner cazuma mori, together both of them offers the local talk fans house music with a distinctive production technique. >nostalgia< is a warm stomping basement beats floor-filler, with a fat bassline tempered by rising chord textures, smartly coordinated with the pulses in the track. both saag & cazuma showcases their skills in tackling slower bpms too. the b-side >cant hide it< comes with intricate keyboard work and deep atmosphere that is driven by an appealingly on-point house bassline. the track picks up a new elements at just the right moment to keep you on board the whole 8 minutes. there is no messin around here, just pure deep house from local talk.

here is ditongos new boogie. for your family business! ditongo is the batongos alias for disco editing, less obscure, more groovy. not much is to be known about batongo, previously an active euro dance producer, released a bunch of hits in the nineties. 10 years ago, after a traumatic experience he escaped in perù and retired from the music business, during this years, on his spare time he made a lot of music, not meant for the public, just for himself. now he is still in perù, not willing to move back to europe but barely broke, he sold us the rights on his entire collection of unreleased recordings with the condition of not revealing his real identity. we will unveil a series of eps ranging from obscure deep to psychedelic disco.

pilot, guitarist, dj, producer, autodidact, comedian are just a few words to describe the workaholic and house-fetishist dayne s. he is ranked as one of the upcoming deep house talents for sure ... in 2012, he grew up quickly and released tracks on labels like noir music, suara, witty tunes, microzoo and kittball. his affinity to the blues now sums up in an ep, which represents what he always wanted to create, a mixture of pure blues-feeling and a catchy groove for the floors.

the same people behind emotional rescue launch as fine sister imprint in the shape of emotional rescue, with a near perfect insight into how the label will operate thanks to nzambi - a quite stunning full length album from jason letkiewicz under his alan hurst moniker. if you consider yourself an avid purchaser of vinyl, you will no doubt have added some letkiewicz heat to your collection in recent times, with excellent releases as steve summers and innergaze in recent times. the alan hurst project sees the brooklyn producer in more laid back form, indulging his passion for library sounds and experimental electronics with just as much aplomb. allegedly commissioned to soundtrack a film on modern haitian voodoo, nzambi is a woozily intoxicating thirteen track set that opens your senses to a true darkness in this producers palette of sounds that has not really been explored before.

that is attack, decay, sustain, release. the adsr envelope is just one type of envelope, but it is a popular one that has been used in electronic music for decades. attack is the period of time after the initial release, it is typically the loudest part of the sound decay is the phase while you are going from the attack to the sustain – you are decaying the volume from this sharp initial phase to the normal volume phase sustain is the normal phase of the sound. it is typically less volume than the attack, and go on for an indefinite period of time, or for a specific amount of time release is the draw down from the sustain period to no sound. a fade out.
mini-lp release, cd version included.

pimprinella 006 comes along with 2 newcomers, the cologne based guys freiboitar. few months ago they just dropped the demo track floetenflirt to our box and shouted we are big fans of pimprinella!!! and what can we say? little puppie is a big fan of kölsch beer now too! if you remember rene bourgeois playing on fusion festival this year, then you ll be aware of his remix. and finally we welcome jules & moss, 2 great guys from france who already released on dirtybird, flash, musik gewinnt freunde or session deluxe. chapeau, violet one!

so you didnt get that last firecracker that came in an incredible sleeve and was limited to 45 copies? well now you and the other 99% of humanity can at least own the music contained within it with this regular re-release, and to be honest although the sleeve isnt hand-weaved by a peruvian tribe centuries known for their mastery of textile craft, the one yer getting here is pretty goddamn sweet. bringing together calypso rhythms and bernie worrell-does-acid lines, fudge fingas >untytled< is an exemplary example of why everyone is in admiration of the geezer, and that is because he can actually make actual music, with compositions and melody and all that. excuse the lofty jargon. linkwood bring equal heat in the form of >secret value<, but guess what? fudge fingas has gone and blessed it with the refreshing audio equivalent of yer girlfriends mint & tea tree shower gel, adding liquid bass and lush keys. the fingas finishes off the e.p with one of his most interesting tracks to date >minus 616<, a dense, immersive piano piece that proves that getting this e.p out to a wider audience was just simply a righteous and necessary move. take that skinny tie off, wrap it round yer arm and mainline that uncut funk, baby.

nice price deal !!! next amazing snuff trax. mixup between finest chicago and detroit back in the day sound. trax with the taste of good old times. the past is now, the present is now, the future is now!

alejandro vivanco, chilean producer and dj offers us >energia roja<, an unusual and sensory journey into his minimal, organic techno universe, which takes us far, far away, on a journey to the distant borders of abstract. in the same, insane and twisted vein, >los imaginarios< is an invitation into a land of dreams, a perfect soundtrack to tim burtons alice in wonderland played in slow-motion and a perfect companion to further appreciate this epic journey. two non-conventional tracks which are somewhat reminiscent of productions from berlins perlon records.
last but not least, the remix of >energia roja< by jens bond, one of berlins techno activists that needs no more introduction, this rendition takes us a step closer to the dancefloor with a minimal, deep version of the track that is just perfect for those lush, sexy warm ups.

after the glowing success of seven black 001 by autodeep, deepchild and eddie c, seven black continue to drive forward with yet more quality.

disko404 is a long-established promotions crew based in graz, austria, whose renowned monthly events are all about celebrating the bass in dubstep, funky, house, juke, grime, hip hop, electro, and experimental sounds. earlier this year they branched out as a record label, launching with a well-received split ep from sun people & franjazzco. their second release features two new tunes by sun peoples simon/off as well as a splendid remix by bass clef.
early support comes from scratcha dva (hyperdub), brackles (rinse fm), phon.o (50weapons), and bunzer0 (sub fm), and with a strictly limited run of 250 pressed, this is a 12 inch that will be in demand long after supply holds out.

with influences ranging from breakcore and jungle to techno and electronica, their sound is just as far-reaching with organic sample-based productions and synthetic, processed electronic beats. lakkers torann ep, their second release for blueprint, kick-starts with the dappling beats of summer rains, before moving onto the more experimental mustard crying. ciar takes us back to the dancefloor with ominous undertones, while static & amp is a simple but effective exercise. finally the diminutive but meticulous one note caps the ep off in fine lakker style.

this is the last teaser before the release of the kruse & nuernberg album >lets call it a day<, featuring, yet again, the beautiful vocals of stee downes. on remix duties, we have lazy days regular shur-i-kan with two completely different flavors. his 80s vocal mix is a beautiful update of the original, speeding up the tempo for peak time play, while his 90s dub is a straight up stripped down classic house re-work. first time on the label, we welcome nathan g with another fine remix that can be played at just about any time of the night. lastly, we have the original in all its beauty, at its slower original tempo.

>do your thing, just make sure you are ahead of the game<, warns >game<, the opening salvo of release, pangaeas new double ep for hessle audio. it is a statement of intent for the entire record, reflecting the increasingly idiosyncratic nature of his music. releases eight tracks are entities unto themselves, each a natural evolutionary continuation of the rough and rolling pirate radio techno he began to culture on last years hex and inna daze 12 inches.
