soul jazz records new release black fire! new spirits! is a limited triple lp (with download code included) exploring deep, radical and spiritual jazz in the usa in the period 1957-1975.

nice price deal !!! flight to the moon is the result of a year-long journey by dutch producers dimi angelis and jeroen search. it is both their first album as a&s and their first full-length record together. like the explorers whose journey is musically documented by flight to the moon, angélis and search set out to discover where this record would lead them. throughout the course of twenty tracks flight to the moon tells the story of a group of spacetravelers. it chronicles their ascent into the vast unknown and their uncovering of things as of yet unrevealed. what will they find? and what will their findings tell them? the tracks on the album – which they will release on their own a&s imprint – are diverse yet homogenous. they meander, transferring a sense of dangerous and potentially deadly encounter at one moment and then capturing a feeling of exciting amazement at another. most crucially, flight to the moon is more than just a collection of techno tracks. in fact, to think of it in cut-out genres is to limit the scope of the album’s musical offerings. search and angélis aimed to shape a record that would defy their own notion of techno. that journey can now be heard by all.

at a time when the weekly flow of new albums, eps and mixtapes come to exceed the number of e-mails that pile up in our inbox, the dazzle in lokoms new double single is like the long anticipated rainfall season in a tropical country: nothing protrudes yet everything is present. totally melodic and surprisingly quiet despite its fabulous rhythmic complexity, good news from mars soothes like a perfect conversation in a sea of things left unsaid. at the same time dry, blazing and melancholic, blurred vision recalls the brooklyn duo team shadetek in their early 2000 years, when the two were still hesitating between ambient warpish glitch and grime jolts. when combined, both tracks offer a vision inspired by the union in 2014 of electronica and experimental dance: an infinity of possibilities where hope still exists. download card inside.

we are pleased to announce another release from our catalogue: things you care about ep
domenico returns on his label with three deep tracks!

drew pompa & pipe scuttleworth unveil 6 tracks of guitar, rhythmic percussion, drones, synth pads & a host of found sounds into a sonic brocade of melody emitting the shadowy energies of post-punk & dark wave. this mini-lp is limited to 300 numbered copies and comes in a full color artwork record jacket, with an 11x11 insert.

these tracks are generated from hours of jamming and have been artfully edited in the studio.

there are things in life which are suitable and things in life which aren t suitable. the things which are suitable should be ignored and left for those who enjoyed being tucked into bed and being walked across the street with their hands being held. the things which aren t suitable are what you will probably have some fun with despite the bumps and bruises suffered as a result. the suitable nature of the unsuitability of the following cheek full of tongue provided by scott robinson, ben pest, nox, and norman mueller will hopefully not cause any permanent damage along the way.

sam kdc returns with perhaps his most unique release to date. four tracks that well and truly blur the lines between many genres, while keeping the tempo steady at 85/170 bpm. immolate kicks off proceedings, with its ethnic vocal chant and tripping kick drums. eerie vibes from start to finish. moving on to the frantic navigation to nowhere, which opens with an ominous arp and frenetic kick drums build up to an uneasy acid lead. flip side opens with vessel, which keeps the atmosphere dark and introduces techno sensibilities to the fold. finally, purgatory wraps things up with yet another frenzied climax. the order & the entity is a rewarding listen offering something truly unique. we guarantee you will not have heard music like this anywhere else!

clr is back with release number 83 and has something very special in store this time. monolocs latest effort offers a challenging mixture of various electronic music genres. apart from the original version and the monoloc edit, which occupy the a side of the vinyl, two highly respected producers have contributed remixes to this project, making it an impressive assembly of potential a sides.

das album von 1982 ist als vinyl-lp wieder erhältlich! -the seven voyages of captain sinbad- war das debütalbum für den deejay captain sinbad (alter ego des jamaikanischen produzenten carl dwyer). der künstler startete seine karriere beim sound of silence soundsystem als junger kollege von sugar minott und machte aufnahmen für dillinger s oak label. aber es war der produzent henry junjo lawes, die musiker der roots radics mit scientist & soldgie hamilton am mischpult des channel one studio und das greensleeves label sowie der graphiker tony mcdermott, die diesen longplay-klassiker verwirklichteten. schwergewichtige riddims - u.a. shank i shank, soloman, cuss cuss, things and time, bobby babylon, hunter man!

over the course of his twenty-plus-year-long career, luke solomon has made one hell of a name for himself: he has released dozens of singles and eps on labels like crosstown rebels, rekids, cajual, and playhouse, to name a few, founded his own imprint, classic, with longtime friend and co-conspirator, derrick carter, dropped four albums, and had a hand in well over 100 remixes. as one might expect, it is a tremendous honor to now welcome the veteran dj and producer to lph, where we think he fits in perfectly, despite being the artist in our ranks with the most impressive tenure.

the third imprint on dirty session sprung from luca bear s idea with the intention of spreading a new concept of music. no schemes, no compromises, the only prerogative is quality.

look who dug a hole through the earth… fresh in berlin from the subtropic suns of la, draveng is coming up in your schrebergarten with a cup of coffee and three exercises for allergy season.
side a: first comes *dubious smink*, a rubbery wink of a snake’s housework. then, open up and say laaa for the the vocal mix of synth rearranger, *no flex fit*.
side b: things get dramatic here. wilderness whimpers while wind whips water before moses staff parts 4 to the floor kicks from divine mathematics. j. tijn does what he does best and sears *for thin soles* into a blown out roller.

things have been a-brewing in the tender hooks camp. we have been markedly quiet on the release front but finally - with little to no further ado - we are ready to get things rolling once more. tender hooks are proud and honoured to introduce t.wiltshire and his debut 12 inch the sandringham ep (limited to 300 copies, vinyl only).

following a double headed debut on our recent nasty rips comp. – a crisp remix of hackmans ‘ always’ and a fizzing solo outing -‘not afraid’, montreal producer reagan grey makes her full shifting peaks debut with a high grade 3 track ep, alongside 3 useful remixes. opener ‘owl’ featuring sandy duperval on vocals, takes a neat song of love and life and rolls it over a punchy ukg/house groove, adding classic sounding organ stabs and swingy rhythms, with a tight arrangement keeping things moving along. ‘feel the pressure’ features christie nelson on vocals, with an equally strong , r n’ b inflected song woven in and out of a looser, spacier arrangement, rgs snappy drums again underpin proceedings. not afraid reappears, having made friends along the way via it s nasty rips inclusion thanks to driving detroit-influenced synths, a pulsing bassline and sweet builds and drops. on the remix front, lukas ( future boogie ) keeps things simple on owl, with a fat, kick-lead groove and sparing use of the vox before drifting into a crowd-pleasing breakdown halfway through. benway (aka fast rising muscovite nphonix) takes swathes of the feel the pressure vocal for a ride over broken beats and a bass heavy backing, with hints of techno torque setting his pressurize mix apart from the similar de pressurize version.

to accompany the release of especial s compilation mix cd, -eleccio- - offering of a snapshot of the first 9 eps on the label - a limited edition sampler ep is being released featuring 4 unreleased remixes from the label s roster to date. ever since the first white labels appeared at the end of summer 2013, emotional especial has had a busy release schedule, putting out music that are a slightly warped take on club music. mixing the influences of dub, electro, disco, proto-house, house and techno, a feeling, a sound, a vibe has appeared without any preordained plan. with the release of ees10cd - a dj meets studio compilation mix created by label mainstay and handyman, jamie paton - to mark the end of first series of the label, it was decided to included a couple of specal unreleased remixes to add a bit of new with the old in the mix. to that end this limited edition vinyl sampler was created to include the two remixes, plus the inclusion of another two gems that simply needed to see the light of day. first is the alternative -member- remix of inhalt by black merlin - a strings meets leather bar club-dub-out that takes things deeper and darker than before. this is followed by jamie delivering his own take of khidja s massive mustafa, with a warped, swamped out dub. next is another mix from cage & aviary of their pals, blancemange. brooding low-slung rerub dub anyone? finally there is a very special remix by khidja of the ganges orchestra. reissued on emotional rescue in 2013, this special remix takes the vocal mantra of the original and creates a balearic-raga tale that perfectly rounds off especial to date.

a diverse and damaging three track ep from bone, exploring and exhibiting detroit techno musically, figuratively and spiritually. a1. here to stay (won t fade away) a nod to detroit as an ever-present - a marker by which others are measured, bone s first track on the detroit ep, here to stay (won t fade away) makes a statement above and beyond just being a fine example the music it refers to. the sumptuous melody that opens the track is accompanied by a substantial yet soft, almost warm, kick, a combination that somehow provides an atmosphere and depth way beyond merely the of the sum of its parts. more rolling percussion and drums are crisply ushered in before the here to stay (won t fade away) vocal begins looping over the composition. linear, straight up loops, grooves and rhythm give a consistent sense of railroad-esque motion atop of an ever-present vein of lush synth and melody. a track that is certainly here to stay. a2. detroit is ... soul with more of an emotional focus than symbolic this time, it s clear this one is from bone s heart. detroit is ... soul, ducks and weaves in the grey area between house and techno, the initial percussion that is brushed over the kick giving more of a house swing than a techno groove. the on/off, cut-and-dry synth chords contrast with the looser fluidity in here to stay (won t fade away), and gives a real sense of intent and desire. the real focal point however is the profound vocal that comes swirling over the top, -detroit is what i love, detroit is what i need, detroit is where i m from, detroit s the air i breathe?- no explanation necessary. b. detroit is ... hard bone rounds off part 1 of his detroit ep with aplomb. where the previous two tracks have drawn on the emotional and symbolic significance of detroit as a place and as an ideal, detroit is ... hard, cuts straight to the chase. utilizing the same vocal sample as detroit is ... soul, bone feeds things through the grinder and comes out with a late night dancefloor destroyer that blends millsian fury and red planet mystique with the archetypal subject detroit aesthetic. chaotic arpeggiated melody, indignant claps and breakneck drums and percussion are the chosen company for bone s words on this flipside to detroit is ... soul. detroit is ... hard, undoubtedly to become a mainstay for sweaty after-hours affairs the world over

another crazed machine release from the take the elevator camp...big things ahead for this label. recommended!

moj001 delivers to you five tracks from little nobody which fascinatingly branch through diverse genres and influences which here, on the one record alone, manage to represent this artists wide variety as well as nicolas. judging from this artists extensive bio, since hes delved through techno, idm, hip hop, jazz, disco, electro, etc, the wide-spectrum approach becomes evident. like many artists from the 1990s, little nobody brings with him the healthy baggage of music with a message, polemic subjects, thoughts, ideas, humor, you name it. this comes as an aural statement: music has the power to challenge us, the way in which we perceive the world, and points out things which could potentially generate change for the better — if we only stopped and considered looking that much deeper. so this record couldnt come at a better time, a period in which we live where everything is disposable and a numbed societys music attempts to reach out for our consciousness — posing for us the opportunity to stop and think.
