harry agius has been making waves as midland since 2010, releasing a series of increasingly impressive 12”s as a solo artist but also collaborating with the likes of ramadanman (pearson sound), breach and pariah on labels such as aus music, naked naked, works the long nights and his own graded imprint. he is also a prolific remixer who has lent his talents to artists such as lone, guy gerber, julio bashmore, dusky and more. we can proudly say he came to many people’s attention via his first phonica 12” ‘play the game’ back in 2010 and he has remained a friend and regular at the shop ever since. midland’s well deserved rise has been a delight to watch from the sidelines and we’re glad to welcome harry back to phonica with the fantastic ‘before we leave’. it starts slowly but surely as reverb soaked percussion comes to the fore, cushioned by the truly beautiful string melody, which we’re sure will be stuck in many a head this year! this could well be midland’s most deftly handled arrangement yet. running back’s gerd janson wisely decides to stick to the original track’s feel, letting the strings weave their magic, yet also brings the bassline and drums to the forefront. delicately but expertly done. midland rounds out the 12” with his barebones drums and percussion-only ‘bonus beats’ version, perfect dj tool material. we wish more records had these!

the horst sind zurück mit ihrem neuen album *tofte*. das wort stammt aus dem münster-typischen, rotwelschen sozialdialekt masematte und bedeutet so viel wie gut, oder auch toll. manfred schulz, als langzeitbegleiter der band, war erneut als co-produzent, tontechniker und freundschaftlicher berater am start. mehr noch als beim vorgängeralbum, fällt bei *tofte* die gemeinsame freude an guten songs auf, die von verschiedensten einflüssen aus der popgeschichte und den eigenen plattenschränken geprägt sind, sich aber jenseits von rock-klischees, muckertum, schlagerspießigkeit oder kunsthandwerk bewegen. aber wie auch immer: hauptsache der song tuts und er klingt gut.
die lp auf 180 gramm vinyl erscheint inklusive cd-version des albums.

listening to the sound of konfetti klub ensemble creates associations of those sparkling drops that run down the side of an ice cold drink on hot summer days. it’s a very refreshing and delicious listening experience, it’s both stimulating and soothing. if you think the formula brass players + club groove is somewhat worn-out, you will be pleasantly surprised. pomelo comes with bouncy offbeat rhythms, and when the trombone hits in there’s clearly an air of balkan sound. however, around the middle of the track it turns into a joyful freestyle session. mollono.bass puts a bit more emphasis on beats, bass and pressure in his version, in other words: even a bit more emphasis on the dance floor. rotwein und sommerverbot gives a groovy hint why konfetti klub ensemble describe their sound as live brass house – it’s extremely jazzy and casual, a live session rather than a programmed arrangement. even more so schwankel, as it vibrates effortlessly between intricate musical deepness and sheer to-the-floor euphoria. last but not least there is a track exclusively for the digital release: stranddub – beach dub. let’s put it like that: there’s a damn good party happing at this beach.

with his previous releases on nervous, hotfingers and frequenza, angel stoxx is on our map since a long time. he brings us two house party slammers par excelence. the perfect mood for our summer vibes. as a remixer we could win our favourite clown from brighton: enzo siffredi who brings us a deeper version of hoola high with a lovely bassline. the second remix comes from deep bros & monodeluxe. they strip down the original to the main elements, add a nice guitar and create a sexy house track. get your cocktails and put on your sunglasses.

wordless home electronica, circa 1982. ems, rhodes, and revox innovations and innervisions. discreet and discrete! yoga said there would be days like this...

as our true fans know, every now and then we leave our comfort zone to bring something else than techno. this season, we gave dib from italy the honor to be the unusual one. three tracks, three times basic, stripped down house that does well as a tool or a track in the early or deep hours of the night. or just for those people working hard at the office and wanting some deep house during their officework. all tracks have a very old skool vibe to it and breathe true deep house: not the filtered down vocal kind, but the breed that just lets a 909, 808 shine and some rhodes or warm analogue synths do the work. the first one is rather detroitish - with a nice acid stab and some strings setting the mood, the second one is more dance floor oriented and the third version is a bit of both. does it need to be said that dimitri andreas mastered it again? and that it is available on vinyl?

a few trips in tel aviv made ivan smagghe aware of the extensive and more importantly, quasi forgotten, wave and pop scene from israel. blown away some of the tracks passed on to him, he and the ginger prince thought it would be a good start for the lddlm reissues series, edits and originals.
