the long awaited ms 08 is a split e.p between techno-rave unit minimum syndicat and the kosmik kommando, aka mike dred (rephlex, r&s, machine codes), one of the true creators of acid techno, once called the jimi hendrix of the tb-303, and partner of richard d. james within the legendary universal indicator project. no beardy hipster techno, no bullshits, just pure analog strobe-jams from the vault of rave.

the h.a.n.s. is back. with more tools for fools. four traxx and two extras for the soft working dj and the fast moving dancer. more samples, more nasty beats, more heavy stripped down kaputt groovers. weak kick drums, lazy arrangements & shameless sampling guaranteed. food for fun? maybe rooted somewhere between the early paul jacobs and the late bcc music starring a 2014 twist if you know what i mean. you better remember that h-ouse a-int n-othing s-erious. it is still nothing but big fun.

collaboration project between jauzas the shining & victoria lukas featuring ekman and orgue electronique. lukas, drawing upon personal sensations, melds diary-like lyrics into dreamlike ambiance and textures, beautifully fusing with the infectious electro-pop grooves of jauzas the shining. songs encapsulating lost love and longings for sensation, emotional stimulation and experiencing feelings through those of another are conveyed via vocal pieces, cold sweat and coral eyes. ekman contributes a driving, acidic groove version of cold sweat more apt for the dancefloor, while orgue electronique pushes the electronic pop vibes into house territory. shadows written, recorded and produced by jauzas the shining & victoria lukas for last known trajectory 2014

after the infinite arpeggios of mattheis and the drum drive of oceanic, the third installment on nousklaer holds the middle right in between them. for this remix ep mattheis and oceanic exchanged tracks, and both came up with a new take on each others work. oceanic turns blablavism up and strips it down to a welcome version for club play. mattheis his version of hidden bero counts as a live kraut cover, barely using anything of the original, despite its mantric

the enigma that is black swan has emerged from the shadows to deliver its second work. awash with chilling ambience, found sounds and haunting samples, the quiet divide reins in the phantasmagoria, examining the blurred in-between, the darkness that lies at the divide. creeping ever so slowly out of the confined spaces of its previous work, in 8 movements, black swan moves further into the crevice, mining territory unbefitting to most composers. upon surfacing from the muck and grime, the resulting work is disquieting and poignant, exposing the listener to the inner workings of the desolate in hope that they will never have to plunge themselves into it.

marking the start of an exciting new collaborative project, wolf + lamb proudly share the debut release of the waves & us. formed out of a creative meeting of minds between maayan nidam, markus nikolaus and louis mcguire, theirs is a sound that strengthens the storied approach of a live band with the experimental thrust of analogue electronics. pop and rock fundamentals lend an earthly hook to the tracks, but these are anything but straight-forward songs. maayan has already forged a formidable career in electronic music, both under her own name and as part of mara trax, scoring releases on such celebrated labels as perlon. markus performs his own solo project cunt cunt chanel, while louis is part of ballet school, a band releasing on noted indie label bella union. the whirlwind of creativity that has whipped up around the trio has yielded an album which will follow this single, made up of one-take recordings that capture the energy and adventure that powers the waves & us. maayan s electronics provide the atmospheric backdrop to the songs, running modular synthesisers and drum machines through detailed chains of processing and effects with an emphasis on a warm, charmingly rough finish. markus guitar undergoes a similar fuzzy treatment while his voice calls out introspective, abstract lyrics to set the mind racing. louis bass underpins the music with a dubby sensibility, bringing a necessary balance to the frequency range. making the most of their in-the-room recording approach, the singles will feature alternative takes of the songs that will appear on the album, providing a little insight into the flutters and fluctuations that shape the development of this project. with their eyes fixed on live performances and an arresting sound already formed, this is a vital time for all three artists and the people that listen to them.

balearic maestro max essa joins the dots seamlessly between the ambient imaginings of sakamoto, the krautrock rhythms of neu and the beach pop of chris rea, while making them all dance together like waves on the beach. this is some of his very best work to date and demonstrates a producer at home at the controls and a real musician with a vision. your carnival sounds like this…

accompany the reissue of woo s into the heart of love, emotional rescue is releasing a limited 7inch featuring songs not included on the vinyl pressing, plus a previously unreleased version of the beautiful title song, which only appeared in later form on their cd only, la luna album. with the original into the heart of love album only appearing as a 60 minute cassette-only release, several of the albums songs could not make the first time vinyl issue from emotional rescue. therefore, this limited edition 7inch includes two of those ommited songs. the wistful english folk duet between mark ives and sue amor on make me tea and it s sibling on the album, a little long way. possibly woo s most straight forward folk song, make me tea is as the title imagines a very particular english poem. recording as a duet between two late night lovers, awaking from post-love making slumber to find peace and with it, a nice, perfect cup of tea. however, it is the inclusion of the unreleased version of the title song, magic in the dark that is worth the admission price alone. taken from the cd only album, la luna, the original s short and gentle story of late night love is presented here in it s alternate demo form. a different vantage point is shown in revelation and then exhaltation. the sadder start expands in to a beautiful and wonderus folk celebration. mark s vocals and guitar are later joined by gentle rhythmic percussion from brother clive, before clarinets duet to a yearning finale. woo once again showing their unique mix of folk and new age electronics. a one off to cherish.

carbon chic, a native of minneapolis, delivers a high-impact redux on a soulful kick for the a-side. while for the b-side, a deep and cozy after-hours excursion effortlessly begins. two tracks at home both on the dancefloor and in your space. beyond the speaker invites carbon chic for the label s sophomore release after legowelt and willie burns shared the successful label debut, angels against dust. with a broken man, beyond the speaker expands its horizons by committing new talent to wax, furthering the label s vinyl expedition. carefully mastered by alek stark, a broken man in redux form does not compromise, upping the tension between burrowing bass, satisfying beat and vocal machinations. on the flipside, deep affection offers a more comforting assortment of synthetic melody and late night warmth while maintaining a firm dancefloor footing with gently rolling hihats topping everything off.

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

extremely limited run of don pascals cali experiment ep, only 300 to be pressed! each 12inch will include a download code. as a salsa lover and aficionado, don pascal wants his new material to fill the space between house & broken beat rhythms and salsa music, with a focus on bringing authentic salsa piano to the forefront, it was quantic who hooked him up with some of the musicians to fulfil his ideas, resulting in these two new tracks, tributo and tumbao. this release is sure to be popular with fans of quantic, the souljazz orchestra, buena vista social club and sofrito.

d3 recordings offshoot d3 elements is only three releases deep, but already their releases are reaching must-check status. following their recent release of a superb ep from us deep house veteran brian harden, the paris-based imprint offers up something a little different - an ep of gorgeously deep and melodic flavours that joins the dots between head-nodding instrumental hip-hop and floor-friendly 4/4 fare. there are plenty of surprises, too, including techno stalwart terrence parker delivering a flute-heavy downtempo head-nodder, some gorgeous beatdown from detroiter mike clark, and a thrillingly string-laden chunk of deep house bliss from the aforementioned harden.

as headman gears up to release his sixth album it appears he is having something of an identity crisis... is he headman? or is he, as his mother named him, robi insinna? either way, he is one of disco s most daring of producers and, monikers aside, anything he releases is well worth your attention. especially this first sampler from the album 6. a collaborative affair, each track sees him teaming up with kindred spirits and friends to forge new groove paths and re-position old references. -work- takes a kraftwerkian recipe and stretches it like a well made pizza dough, -barbarism- dusts off the cosmic guitars for an enlightened star-gazing session, -der- sits happily between black strobe and jeff wayne while -sleep red- cruises towards dfa city limits in a cowbell escalade. each one of them will have you hankering for the album. guaranteed.

presented on high-quality 180gram heavyweight black and white vinyl. features bonus lp insert compiled by tom ellard with ephemera from the time. limited edition. medical records presents two of the most striking and iconic reissues in its catalog. severed heads are one of the most diverse and expert soundpalette engineers and are also repeatedly overlooked and far underrated. hailing from sydney, australia, they formed in 1979. the lp exemplifies the transition point between experimental structure and loops into the catchy pop hooks that would later define such releases as rotund for success. difficult to classify, it is a masterpiece of electronic music

we are particularly proud to bring you this 2xlp based on unreleased tapes recorded in 1975, way before mariannis first lp back in 1980! after 2 years remodelling the archives at jeangérards studio, they now deliver a brand new 75 minutes album, obviously not abided by any hype. not only does the music remind such bands like popol vuh or any grm act (where marianni taught himself), but also 90s artists like massive attack, boards of canada or even moby. although each track fills one side of the vinyl like in the 70s, you can listen to the detailed samples. check for instance a3 b5 c2 d1 and d2.

disco bucuresti is an audio homage to romanias capital, bucharest. growing up between the citys communist blocks of flats and maturing in the citys underground discos left a distinct creative mark on andrei idu (the legendary 1979 orchestra). ever since leaving bucharest for amsterdam, andrei felt the need to tribute the place that shaped him. however, it was only until recently that he found the means necessary to express the feelings he felt. thus, records released during the 70s and 80s in romania as sole sample source, analog drum machines, delays, filters and reverbs, all recorded in live takes come together in this evocative ep.

maeve label honcho the drifter and co-emperor of the permanent vacation kingdom, benjamin fröhlich, team up for some rascal business. always quick to pull the sling shot out of the back pocket and hit you right between the eyes, the original version of -waterville- is full of hazy melodies, washed out bells and quirky arpeggios backed up with concrete drums for some extended dancefloor meditation. while the high tide mix wraps things up a bit with some more prominent drums and a little extra spice on the bassline. mysterious uk producer a sagittariun sculptures out of the original a breakbeat house track, that sounds like a hidden treasure from this short but influential period.

following up to their much applauded international debut save the youth, denmarks answer to warpaint,giana factory, return with their second album lemon moon this spring 2014. fronted by louise foo (sister of sharin of the raveonettes) and flanked by lisbet fritze (who also plays guitar in the trentemoller band) and sofie johanne, giana factory specialize in a wonderful kind of iced pop, beautiful songwriting with a lot of depth and diy attitude punch.

it is a two heads job. parisians producers pawn heart and fareed (also half of the techno duo society of silence) deliver a first split ep. for over a year, influenced by the raw sound of detroit and chicago, they were exchanging tips and compositions, catching each other, when possible, in the cold but intense urban landscape, drawn between northern paris neighbourhoods and banlieue.

its time for local talk to go local again with another swedish producer, eric ericsson. with numerous releases out in labels like planet e, fragile and freerange he is one of those producers with one foot in the techno scene and another in the more soulful house scene. basically, he is not a one trick pony! for his release on local talk we would say he lands somewhere between classic chi-town house and thumping nyc house groove but without sounding too retro or washed out. its simply real house music!

ital & halal is the psychedelic new collaboration between shadowy producer aurora halal and planet mus iconoclastic ital. recorded over six months, each track is a spiraling world unto itself, coursing between strobing club anthems and ephemeral headtrips.

since its very first beginning, the monkey bar has proved to have no boundaries music-wise. this composition of tracks pictures a state of mind, a bridge between the past and the future. a selection made by producers that can speak with the heart, the mind and the soul.
