nazareths second 74 album >rampant< finds the group tempering the four-on-the-floor hard rock attack they developed on >loud and proud< by working a surprising and effective southern rock edge into the songs. the end result is an album that sounds like a early ac/dc meets lynyrd skynyrd at their hardest rocking. this gatefold sleeved, 180 grams audiophile edition of the album contains the b-side to the >love hurts< 7 inch single as a bonus. rock on!

over the last few years we have all seen an emergence of new methods of spreading and accessing music. some might say this is normal market evolution, we say we keep enjoying music as we always have, on vinyl that is!we love vinyl. we love its sound, we love its shape & we love the feel of it in our hands… our goal is to offer a medium, paying particular attention to the recording process, which will not only conserve the cherished ritual of music listening, but will also deliver a properly put-together abundance of well made, richly defined ear snacks, from genres of all sorts both old and new. vinyl kills mp3 is a vision, a message & a statement. our mission is to preserve all that is music on vinyl. ,label headquarters are in berlin, the leading capital for electronic music worldwide. weare currently ,accepting submissions for artists worldwide. distribution is organized together with syncrophone.! ,parisian youngster john jastszebskis new track la toureille is a deep techno wonder reminiscent of the vitriolic sounds of berlin techno. the trenchant beat and the syncopated percussion convey a heavy yet ,addictive atmosphere. sounding timeless already, this pure, icy tune is definitely dance floor-bound. b-side funky dreamer is a violent and sharp composition by french dj john jastszebski. as a young but experimented artist, jastszebski skillfully maintains tension and elation throughout the raw, hypnotic track. it is as straightforward as spontaneous, and leaves the listener wanting nothing but more!

this time they bring to the table 2 of the most rolling smashing tunes from the benefit camp. whats good about social music is that it has space and head room for you to mix the tune nicely in whatever way shape or form you choose. if you want to bashment switch it you can, or you want to use it for dd (double dropping) its there for you to do so or even roll out the mix. and the m.cs dont need to fight against the frequencies they can just do their thing without struggling.

mr. mageeka makes a welcome return in the wake of >different lekstrix<, the mutated funky banger that caused straight up mayhem on many dancefloors the world over, upon its release via numbers last year. the much-anticipated follow up, penned for release on phuture shock musik, comes in the shape of >vintage malarkey<, which sees the east-londoner offer further next level shenanigans. employing a similar formula as its predecessor, this one is stripped down and quintessentially hypnotic - instantly luring you in with a looped god made me funky - esque groove, over a brisk swinging rythm, whilst occasionally throwing you off-guard through the introduction of angular synths and offbeat claps, as well as an inspired collage of samples that maintains the quirky nature of the production throughout. the single comes backed with >de congo<, a funky conga-laden number, that is enhanced by an addictive fusion of west african guitar licks, kalimba stabs and frisky percussion, though the real icing on the cake being its meandering trumpet hook, altogether coming off like a live high-life jam. early support from the likes of rinse fms scratcha and marcus nasty.

following up the scorching debut release another night, deep&disco recordings sidesteps the sophomore slump with elisco, an infectious electro-funk groover that both cements the labels commitment to quality and expands their musical range.
a chunky nu-disco track with hints of metro area and a catchy vocal hook, the seeds of elisco were planted in the early 2000s when label founder jkriv and lou teti were sharing a loft space in williamsburg, brooklyn. after an afternoon of cowbells and synths, the skeleton of the track had its shape, and their other roomates girlfriend was enlisted to sing the hook. she had no singing experience (or rhythmic sense) to speak of, but somehow it all worked and elisco was born! although its always been a personal favorite of the producer duo, the song remained shelved for almost 7 years until they dusted it off in early 2011 and readied it for release on the newly minted deep&disco recordings.
providing remixes for the vinyl release are the legendary leftside wobble, who turns in an extended and bpm-d-up version quite true to the original, taking the machine vibes to the next level with added loops and fx. brightons alphabet city brings the disco-boogie sensibility to the package with a deep mix that features jkriv on live bass, and whiskey disco regular sleazy mcqueen rounds it out with an indie dance stomper.

first appeared on lee curtis watergate 08...supported by dop, manik, tim green , pezzner etc..
spains jazzler aka dixie yure has been around for a few years now, recording a string of superb releases for fenou, nordik and of course flumo recordings. the summer of 2011 sees him follow up last years - she has ep - with an outstanding new track in the shape of - beth & the gamma ray fields. recorded as an ode to a fan called beth, - beth & the gamma ray fields - has already established itself as one of this summer big underground records, opening lee curtis watergate compilation and being used by the club for their summer opening video.

panther veil is the debut release on dublin based apartment records. over the 3 tracks london producer ncw explores various avenues of house music in a stripped back, unique fashion. opening with the slowburning, detroit-tinged swing of veil, the flip serves up the bent out of shape jack of my braindead acid, while panthers relentless late night groove rounds things off in a blurry haze

troy pierce, marc houle & magda team up to present their first ever trio release on items & things, >down & out vol 1< - which takes its name from their newly created party series - events that are based around the dark & intimate, off the radar, and under the ground. troy pierce starts things off with >majikal<, introducing the eps dark magic with a climbing bassline, scattering, almost anxious percussion and buoyant sound effects panned throughout. ominous atmospheres and weighted textures produce a cinematic accompaniment to surveyors of uncharted terrain. building a continual tension-and-release cycle, the track is a lucid whirlwind of sonic imagery and trickery, balancing visceral sounds with the otherworldly. magda teams up with suade, a producer & friend from newcastle that we are sure to see more of, together they bring forth a true builder, a creeper, the type of track that reveals itself more with each layering sequence. a masterclass in dynamics, >fixation< is a dark groove thats haunted by a chilling vocal, wavering synth vibrato, unexpected melodies, and juxtaposes of funk. angular drums hit alongside swells of percussive echoes but, the focus of the track revolves around the bassline’s movement. as catchy as it is esoteric. marc houles >slowpe< ends the ep with a slightly slower pace, but in a disconcerting way: taking it down a few notches this one that transports the listener to the strangest dimension yet. filtered melodies start the tracks ascent, sounding like a trumpet thats been bent out of shape and played from the void. with dark textures compactly knit into a condensed wall of sound, a low-slung bassline trades places with eerie chords and sparse percussion

the northern spanish duo returns to pole headquarters, this time for the labels number nine release: pole 09 >complex ep<.
exium are well known for their techno adventures, spanning over more than ten years. their style is always changing shape, evolving from experimental textures to harsh rhythms and industrial flavoured beats. with this new release they give their style a new twist by making the synths the starring element of >complex<, a melodic techno number, full of harmonies, portamento leads and pulsating beats.
detroits own legendary dj rolando reworks the original version in a more percussive style, but preserving the melodies and leads. a sure floor smasher.
>the quiet man< closes this release by returning to the classic exium sound: hard drums, sharp hatzs and dense atmospheres, for the darkest fans of pure techno grooves

going on five years after the release of the highly superior debut album yoyoyoyoyo, mastermind spank rock aka naeem juwan touched ground with the sophomore full-length, the excellently titled >everything is boring and everyone is a fucking liar< (e.i.b.a.e.i.a.f.l.), due in september. featuring production mostly handled by boys noize in addition to single-shot offerings from the neptunes pharrell williams, original spank rock producer xxxchange, well known super-producer mark ronson, as well as sam spiegel aka squeak e. clean of n.a.s.a. and chris rockswell. the first single comes with a little aural accompaniment in the shape of >energy<, which ditches synthetic sheen to sample cans vitamin c. >i need new energy<, runs the chorus, showing juwans vision for 2011. alongside the original track three remixers excellently joining the party: jan driver, win win and the glimmers.

after some silence on credo due to the fact that alex was pretty busy with productions and numerous remixes for other labels, he kills it totally now with this outstanding twotracker. >theory of noise< delivers two unique technotracks and especially >noise b< shakes it down in sets all over with its remarkable groovepattern und heavy as well as warm bass structure. this is the adequate follow up on the black series of the label after the outstanding and regurarly repressed >dark summer nights< that came out two years go. alex in top-shape, grab it!

our japanese dear friend hidenobu ito is definitely overwhelming and it seems almost comically out of place. from alien hydraulics to percussive steel fractals he allows to take shape within the realm of impossibility. so, what follows next on numbolic records is a stunning lesson in subtle buildup of sound design. theres a feeling of constant movement and shaky energy that means his music never quite stands still. highly resonant and rapidly-panning drum hits act like flickering fluorescent lights. the result is a heavily abstracted layering and perhaps our most sonically release to date. every sound, no matter how tiny, is endlessly tweaked and picked apart. the 12 inch ep is rounded off with 2 prickly re-interpretations. dualism turns up the fog with a super-deep captivating and yet lovingly version. while ditch comes up with a characteristic throbbing dirty techno rework. another 4 smashing tracks by hidenobu ito are added digitally as well as two bonus remixes. kai provides a dance floor-approved version and the hungarian newcomer as we said made a cartoon spaceship to the moon. big pulsating bass kicks will drive you in that particular head-space, but before accidentally killing someone in love, we suggest go get this record instead and start dance! be numbolic!

nice price deal !!! the third release from the pmr stable showcases another precocious young talent in the shape of vocalist javeon mccarthy, whos teamed up with fellow bristolian julio bashmore to serve up a slo mo future-soul burner. booming subs, cowbells and analog synths provide a brooding, dubbed out, 100bpm backdrop for mccarthys plaintive vocals. theres nothing stagey here though – its the restraint that delivers the emotion. think chicago after the party. meanwhile, brey of die barbie musik kollektiv flips it into a percussive, height of the night monster on the b-side. radio one – played by mistajam, annie mac, nick grimshaw, ronnie herel.

sandwell welcomes new artist rrose ! comes in sandwell printed (inside out) jacket... phase 3 brings a new artist in the shape of rrose......

>going on< from geeks & gaz is a deep 140bpm roller with rich synth swells and grainy disembodied vocals which lend a washed-out melancholy air, while a limber 2step house rhythm propels a truly transporting five minutes of eyes-closed burial-esque low end groove, making for a track that will hit equal targets on the dancefloor and in the headphones. daily delivers >untitled<, an old-school uk garage-inspired track which comes to life with a slow rising synth line underpinned by a sparse beat, before breaking brightly open into a scene of high pitched buzzing keys and some seriously complex percussive intricacies, rapid on the conga skins and hard down on the blunted kick drum. for further triple-win value, hype west london producer jack dixon offers a jaw-dropping refix of >going on<, massaging the original into a sensuously twisted uk funky / garage hybrid shape, introducing dramatic synth lines, hypnotic vocal stabs, and a hightened detail in the beat programming which somehow increases the tunes club-tooled precision while simultaneously enhancing its wistful and reflective mood.

the soft rocks camp launches a newly minted label in the shape of kinfolk, whose intention is to showcase rising talent and fully indulge the experimental. the first release from maurice & charles smacks it right in the spot - you may have enjoyed the loose vocal acid throb of a side hugger moroder in milan on sir wevver s recent 6 mix show. there isn t a recommendation that comes any higher than that! on the flip, mo & charlie indulge their floaty balearic side with underneath the universe which also contains a pleasant undercurrent of bubbling acid. the same track is twisted inside out and taken to the new forest by the soft rocks crew themselves on an expansive dubbed out refix notable for some rather tasty metallic 808 hits

maxmillion dunbar returns to future times with his first release there since it began with his >outrageous soulz< 45. >max trax for world peace< takes the house sound maxmillion hinted at on his 2010 >cool water< lp (for uks ramp recordings) into sublime territory. tip! in the hyper-percussive, shape-shifting opener >polo,< max mixes italian house, angelic choirs and a bouncing bassline, while >ballroom< sees a synthetic waltz become ambient disco as 707 claps echo from the corners. >piano & dream world< engulfs the entire b-side with a blissful, heart-wrenching workout indebted to those head-down, eyes closed house tunes of the past, adding what sounds like a smudged digital orchestra to a roller of a track that marches on (>and on<) forever

rosario born argentinean franco cinelli has been firmly rooted behind the decks since the tender age of 14. drawn by the call of the drums and having researched the creation of music through computers and samplers, the mid 90s saw cinellis first productions taking shape. rapidly becoming a key player on the argentine scene, franco played throughout the country, holding a residency at the prestigious el sotano.

two adventurous artists in their own right, platter001 sees the first meeting of minds for appleblim and october, with two wildly different results. >ny fizzzzz< is a peak-time belter in the truest sense of the word, launching to life with a rigid 4/4 drum machine stomp. appleblims dub tendencies pepper octobers knack for the jack with spacious delays and reverbs before a muted piano hook gets filtered into the mix. melting away to let the chords shine through, the drop encapsulates the pinnacle of any late night jam, bright, bold and brassy, and irresistibly catchy. >fountains of paradise< trickles in on a bed of rippling fx, guided by haunting, melodic synth flourishes that only vintage gear can conjure up. the rhythm section ticks away faithfully as the distinctly psychedelic tones and drones shape the definitive 21st century dub track. blissful in its execution, >fountains…< will stand the test of time as a magically unique slice of delectable ambience.

after an amazing debut release simply called ep. 1, marcelus returns to deeply rooted house with a exciting twelve inch ep. 2! rawer stompin tracks that never fail to capture that essential funking groove that make the difference between a standard techno track and a track that stands out! somehow drifting between new school techno and old school early 90s acidic chicago house marcelus surely merged best of both worlds into 4 subtle and haunting techno tracks with an unstoppable groove.... just how we like it

we have a remix treat in store in the shape of an old zen classic - >rhubarb n custard<. remixed by the mighty taxman and on the other side a dubstep vip remix of >full effect< by zen.
if you havnt heard the original >rhubarb n custard< where have you been in the last 6 years... the original earned zen respect from a broad range of djs on the circuit, championed by andy c, grooverider, pendulum, roni size to name a few.

every so often a new artist on the dumb unit roster steps up and bats one out of the park. case in point, our man from essen : tim querengaesser: aka pherox. the panthers walk ep is an expressive and bombastic ode to a night that goes boom! sultry lyrics voiced by tim himself and guest lee curtiss sit firmly over top of tims excellant and chugging under groove. the panthers walk is an exciting slab of music for any dj and one that will certainly bring pherox and his brand of funk into a more deserving light.

keyboard masher came to our attention with their incredible debut km editions 1 ep early last year, selling out immediately through the handful of uk outlets lucky enough to get a few. as a fairly under the radar operation from london town, enthusiasts and champions of the good stuff, km have kindly allowed us to help them move the sensibly titled and equally brilliant km editions 2 ! picking up plaudits from titans of balearia like phil mison, moonboots etc, km editions 2 is a heady mix of early 80s, synth drenched boogie (amor & satisfaction), arabic influenced folk-funk (discotheque arabe) and a beautiful alan parsons style mid-tempo jam in the shape of >tartari< really very special indeed...

nice price deal !!! as 2010 draws to a close, low res records makes one last shot at the buzzer with a veritable milestone of mayhem - the 23rd enigma in the shape of a new and long overdue dj adjust record. >release the sharks< is four tracks of abusive speaker therapy constructed in the spirit of recreational headbanging most would call haptic technology for heshers. possessing the demonstrative power of potential that pokes at the ear pupils, the new adjust record is a leaning tower of rhythmic inconsequentials that cast a dark shadow over the deliberate composition of controlled chaos.

tiagos >disambiguation< begins like an aural sea, with a surface made of synthesized swells that rise, fall and crest again. beneath these waves are briefly clangorous metallic noises, searing electro hisses, long-armed synth stretches, and a never ending beat. there are moments of understated beauty floating through this perfect marriage of disco and house, sounds that are there and gone: a bassline that stairsteps and synthetic strings that follow suit: playful keyboard melodies, and percussion provided by tiago himself, who fell in love with music when he learned to play drums as a kid. >nada a perder< (>nothing to lose<) shies away from the extravagance suggested by its name and instead feels relaxed – at least at its outset. against shape shifting synths and the sound of piano house, percussion takes a leading role here, including finger snaps and clanging cowbells. the energy builds to a peak but, even when things are at their most frenetic, this track never loses its studied composure. tiago mirandas remixes and releases have been issued on disco devil, italians do it better, rong music, ene, hands of time, eskimo and claremont 56. he is one half of dj duos slight delay, the sea power & change, and mendes & alçada, and also handles mutiple duties in the band gala drop. tiago has been djing seven hour sets almost every weekend for more than a decade at the infamous lux in lisbon, portugal.

james ruskin is considered a veteran producer these days, after co-founding blueprint records in 1996 with richard polson, and releasing a string of classics on blueprint, meta and tresor labels to name but a few. 2009 saw ruskin re-invent his sound, a far deeper bass driven aesthetic, with killer releases on sandwell district, token and the newly reformed blueprint imprint.
