after the rip-roaring success of the first hot waves compilation and sampler, hot creations subsidiary, hot waves releases the second volume along with this four-track vinyl sampler from the album. as well as featuring releases from hot creations heavyweights, lee foss, robert james, russ yallop & m a n i k, the album showcases some blistering new talent from some hot new producers.
the sampler serves as a mere taster of the sonic treats available on the full digital album compromising of 17 tracks and released shortly after the vinyl sampler.

a very high quality production for wonder wet records. on the second release, we reset, the dj/producers duo from the capital, well known for their overwhelming live sets, makes its debut.
the productions of we reset are the fruit of their love for live music. folco and alessandro are two roman producers born to recreate in studio the atmosphere of the dance floor through hot and melodious sounds often created with the use of anologic synthesisers built with their own hands. nothing more and nothing less than two best friends who love to making music and spending intense and rewarding days doing it!

off we go and leave the cannibals all empty. the skies are lowering into the sea. gently pushed by stones we wonder/wander on. somewhere behind a rainbow, apartment houses quietly suspire their berlin. the cheeky spirit is pinching the nose with zest. watch them trip and do the mashed morale. we dance with them, but not for long. spirits are holding the upper hand again. still we miss a beat with a heart still strong. noisy colors all blending in one blue. i sit with you where the citys down low. we know no wrong in the sound of a song. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the pointy poets heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whos mad with magics saving factor. we wander on, stroll to and fro things weigh us out, no con, no pro, unlike the jesters saving factor we stick around too long a-go. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the meek musicians heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whose magics not an urban factor. strike up the band, play on and on for sweet sage music always wins just like the jesters magic scepter beats up and down, forgives all sins. this is when you come stepping in. a row of tender houses smash your knees. the skies are lowering some more. existences twitching here and there. rain reflects berlins icy glow: a frisking spirit on the tip of your nose. we dance with him for quite some time. no stopping a hand that holds up in a work. no missing a beat for a heart goes on. flamboyant whispers strike a chord back home. you come to me, im not alone, in the sound of a song we know no wrong

john gazoo aus düsseldorf mit seiner zweiten maxi! midnight runner bringt soul, wah-wah-funk, disco und house auf einen nenner. hit!

somewhere over western europe, an un-identified falling object crashed landed causing a massive bang, and a ginormous banana shaped smoke cloud. frederic, a local artistic young chap was so inspired by this hilariously funny giant cloud that covered the whole sky as far as he could see, he ran indoors to take cover, and wrote a little summer step d&b beat, called >laughing at clouds< – which seemed to draw a lot of attention. out of the studio window, frederic could see what seemed to be a pink giraffe giving it some serious head-nodding action. by the second drop leonard (the pink giraffe) was dancing so heavily that he caused a small tremor somewhere over in the states, where young up & coming producer melo seemed to pick up the transmission. while in his sonic laboratory he managed to transfer his latest project (affirmation) through the current, where frederic decided to make his first remix project, which pretty much made leonard pass out after all the summer stepping….

the first two solo albums by peter tosh on columbia records were cornerstones of the roots-rock-reggae movement: >legalize it< (1976) and >equal rights< (1977).
thirty-five years have passed since the release of >legalize it< , toshs first album as a solo artist after more than a decade in the wailers with bob marley and bunny livingston. music on vinyl brings it back with remastered audio on 180 grams audiophile vinyl, including 6 bonus dub tracksand 2 insert sheets.

release number four on upcoming swedish label local talk brings more of that local talk talent, this time we are presenting an ep by swedish producer andreas saag. andreas is no newcomer to the scene, with releases on freerange, a room with a view, rebirth, deepermotions, artizan and tokyo dawn records out and remixes for laurent garnier, joy orbison, portformat and danny howells, he has become a favourite among many djs and producers. his debut for local talk, back to life ep, contains two stunning house jams that aims straight for the dancefloors. the main track is a piano and strings driven house monster that almost sounds like an updated version of >strings of life< but with a deep/tech feel. should be big in the main rooms! on the second track mr saag delivers a house cut that sounds like its straight out of south africa with a raw tech/afro feel. its dark, deep, percussive and 100% house!

second part of the very successful primitive cannible remixes. this time its reboot, stacey pullen and tanov doing the works. massive!

exactly two years after his first sirion release we proudly present mastras second 12 inch titled >out of nowhere<. this time around in collaboration with his buddy jon donson, who also released his first ep on sirion in spring 2010. the mood and structure of this latest coup entirely reflects the familiar yet different of the bernese natives mastra & jon donson. for the first time in form of an exciting fusion of individuals signed by both distinct handwritings. >out of nowhere< is a deep and, owing to a impulsive bass drum, repetitive deep house track. this impression is given through a state of mind clearly offside of a classic course. nevertheless its bits and pieces remain stuck and arent easily banished. pablo bolivar is known for his large spectrum of high quality compositions. upholding that standard he delights with yet another impressive interpretation. the subtly chosen synth revive the base of the original track - an impulsive remix of vast variety.

after a big release from sweet n candy, amazing records continue their roll with a superb 2 year of amazing records sampler. a compilation more than a standard release, the music is supplied by mihalis safras, toni rios & andre walter, marko nastic, m.in & jonas, luigi madonna, simone tavazzi, sweet n candy, maurizio vitiello, matthew hoag, marka t, luca morris, mauro alpha & dalbe, mladen tomic, alberto pascual and a track from the label heads minicoolboyz!

second part of the 5 years semantica compilation. happy birthday!

sundance is back with the new release. we had our first release in 2009 by fumiyandric (snd001) and the second release in 2010 by fumiya tanaka (snd002). in 2011, here we bring the new release by a new project called tofu productions. this project is operated by thomas melchior and fumiya tanaka.

the catalog of pink stallone & joey washington singles continues with the arguable gem of their collaborative sessions, mine. the second daniele b & eddie mars co-production, mine exhibits the steady progression of the stallone sludge-funk thump, again fueled by gushing maturity and composure from washington vocals. eddie mars even delivers his own stunningly-authentic production of the stallone/washington sound, marking the first official mars rendition of pink stallone since his inception as a producer and member of the live group. with this comes two workouts by master of the deep the revenge who provides a stripped back timeless dub. one of those tracks that will still sound great in twenty years time. simple and effective with a hint of grandeur. finally wrapping things up are s.a.s (subb-an & adam shelton). following the bumping foot & mouth release earlier this summer we had to ask the boys to give there twist and they sure delivered. acid base and full throttle beats transform >mine< into a jacking dancefloor destroyer, be warned!

just in time for the australian summer, sydneys indie-electronic-popettes, convaire bring the first and title tune from their highly anticipated debut ep, the new you. equal measures quiet childhood nostalgia and barefooted summer festival romance, the new you is a sparkling indication of what convaire do so exceptionally well - the art of creating synth-happy, 80s inspired, chill-sweet pop songs. inspired by the likes of talking heads, friendly fires and phoenix, convaire were first given airtime by local sydney radio heroes, fbi radio. since then, the four-turned-five piece released their first single gate track in september 10 to national airplay and gushing reviews. their exceptional reputation was vindicated whilst winning a triple j unearthed initiative, which saw the band play alongside delorean, kele (bloc party) and 2manydjs at sydneys iconic dance festival, parklife. two singles, over one hundred shows and a few tambourine shakes later future classic saw potential in john toweys vocal likening to the cures robert smith and the energy of the synth-loving slattery sisters. the new you ep is available in a 7 inch vinyl package + 5 track bonus cd, which is exciting enough to warrant a shoe shuffle and a couple of hand claps.

its already about ten years since we started with our first vinyl releases in 2001 including music from plastique, telly quin and mr.clean, time is running and 3 more sublabels and about 35 vinyl releases later it is time to celebrate the first decade … we are looking back to a steady upgrowing music-development, successful parties, live performances and an upbuilding artist collective.the first part of the anniversary compilation presents a variation of different dub house tracks, several are more deep, others are more massy. some remembers to the 90s us house era. including music from dub taylor (eintakt, dirt crew), olivier girardot (ogmusic, arte), lohouse (talk dirty production) and fingers in the noise (deepindub) the eintakt 00 compilation is an unique peace of jewelry, diversified and also a versant device. second part of the anniversary (will come out in december) includes music from neal white, ghettozoid (bekeschus edit), reynold, gunnar hemmerling and telly quin. the 10 years eintakt anniversary vinyl compilation will be limited to 200 copies. feel good!

galaktika prepares their first vinyl of the year with the hand of garnica, paulo olarte and maurice aymard teaming up with mr hot guy maceo plex. the small compilation is meant to be for those floor killer sessions and those layback down mixes a mixture between deep house and techno. why not give it a try in vinyl if we believe this are one the best original tracks the labels heads have made so far and with the support of one of hottest name in the scene. so take advantage of this exclusive 200 copies.

despite the post-industrial label often affixed to factory floor, there is a greater complexity of sound within the bands music that defies such facile descriptions. yes, there are rigid, fixed beats, and other sounds from the manufacturing plant, as suggested by the trios moniker. but there is also an underlying danceability that belies the seeming austerity of the sound, a hint at warmth that cuts through the permafrozen exterior. that curious balance has paid endless dividends thus far: they have been remixed by producer gavin russom, liars angus andrew and no ages dean allen, remixed and released by optimo, remixed and collaborated live with throbbing gristle legend chris carter, and remixed and produced (!) by joy division and new orders stephen morris. its been a whirlwind few years in terms of musical accolades, and factory floors dfa debut is a glimpse into why.

here comes the second part of french team lowkey & kardinals electrovino series!
the first part is nicely rockin the floors around the globe and found its way into many cases (or better said file-lists) of many djs from small to big! the second part follows the path with another rocker called oroborus (the name taken from an ancient greek tale of a dragon eating his own tail !) with a kind of tech-housy but techno bangin feel to it, bringing back the old casio organ sound. followed by two versions of indian summer, one in its more smoother original version and the second in a very nice prime time techno version by kardinal himself!

the second edition of efdemins successful chicago series comes up with another outstanding bundle of future classics. four gorgeous remixes by deadbeat, fred p, rndm and efdemin himself make the wintertime starting extremely hot. again phillip sollmann aka efdemin personally chooses a dreamteam of remixers: scott monteith aka deadbeat is well known from his releases on scape, cynosure and wagonrepair. new yorks fred p aka black jazz consortium digs deep again after we already love him for his large output on underground quality, mule musiq, laid and semester. last but not least dials darlings rndm and efdemin get it well done with two modern interpretations for the excited dancefloor

heralding the birth of the first leleka is a limited edition, hand stamped, two-tone vinyl release from the labels owner vakula from konotop, whos name is widespread due to the success of releases on firecracker, and recently shevchenko (white labels with prints of ukrainian literary celebrities such as gogol, lesya ukrainka & shevchenko himself). these are an ideally captured ukrainian landscape of change, struggle, nature and art slightly embellished by industrial design of the 50s. and this is what the leleka label is all about, its musical concept reflects vakulas love of folk and live music, where passions and melodies play leading roles. this debut release contains six vintage tracks from vakula, almost serving as a prologue to his recent epic output. the meeting of imported soul, exploitation movies and detroit techno, with ukrainian folk melodies and soviet electronics, offers a glimpse into vakulas way of working, and gives us a taste of things to come

everyone have experienced the >first time< in their life. now is the time of sergio pace. old and young is glad to presents the first works of this young turin producer. influenced by classical piano teachings of his mother, his productions are a powerful mix of rhythmics and melodies, the right balance between dance and listening! we choose these four track for our second release, but more is yes to come!

following his dream ep release last year that featured an amazing j.t.c. remix, juanpablo drops us this time another especial production called mother mountain ep that shows clearly how hard he is pushing to create his own beat. last year his song dream was reviewed by some specialized media as hard to describe but easy to love and we think that the mother mountain track on this record will get a similar description. sea people is the second track and for this song juanpablo has invited spanish producer vinz vincenzo to collaborate with him in the production. this artist has been around for a long time and has made a lot of music in many different types that are far away from electronic genres which gives a plus to the end result of this production. and lastly, we have a remix of mother mountain by the mythic spanish producer arcanoid who has released on labels such as tesla, semantica, etc. his remix is pure techno, very hypnotic, dark and mental but always with his personal touch. probably the most club oriented tune on this record.

the second in the sold out series combines the powers of three of the hottest producers in the disco game right now. heading up the field is toomy disco with a monster of a track. deep, hypnotic and swirling >into the flashlights< hits you right in the chest, a certified dancefloor bomb, make no mistake. on the flip, remixer and producer de jour mario basanov reworks a lesser know stevie wonder track into a towering disco gem! soaring pads elevate the track to dizzy heights before its dropped back down into the groove to great effect. finally sean roman pulls apart, loops up and glues back together a boogie banger in the vein of tiger & woods. all in all a damn useful 12 inch

nobody does it like gamm does it! the second part in dj will-rocks duo of heavyweight eps, jam packed with dancefloor jams, upended and amended for maximum impact where it counts from deftly executed hip hop blends to surefire disco & funk rewires, its all 100 % proof!

trendkill records is proud to bring you its second release from prolix (playaz, ganjatek, metalheadz, virus, viper, uprising, renegade hardware). the a side is a hip-hop vocal infused stomper with huge beats and distorted basslines with hooks that keep you wanting more and more. the aa is a energetic filter workout which twists and turns leaving listeners dizzy with excitement! both tunes have had great responses on dance floors across the world, and the versatility of these beats will ensure you keep them in your bag for years.

diynamic is back to release its 053 ep. this time its a classic 4 tracker showcasing some of the finest young talents in house music. after their hit single ‘deep in the three’ on 2diy4, adriatique and thyladomid are back making their debut on mother label diynamic. ‘the l way’ is combining a emotive vocal line with warm pads and a driving bass, for a fresh yet deep sound. „touch me“ from italians newcomer hunter_game is a very deep and sexy track with nice vocals and very smooth hypnotic sounds. on b1 the two romanians ntfo make their second appearance on diynamic. ‘feelings’ is a housejam of highest calibre. with chunky bass stabs, funky-muted guitar sounds and a crispy hookline this song is made to make you shake. ‘smiling faces’ by london-duo app shines with its laid-back groove and its trippy vocals. the breakdown unfolds into a new wide dimension before coming back with a strong groove. quality time is guaranteed.

stephane signore delivers an excellent record called >we live in a world of ba57ard ep< chordy and firm techno that will rock in venues with good soundsystem. with long an well constructed builds on the opening track called bad trip. this is a vinyl that will no doubt get support from larger names in the industry. the second track is the stanny franssen remix of ba57ard. this is a nice rolling remix with a lot of dynamics and way more uplifting that the original. for the 3rd track on the ep we find this original piece. this is a very deep somewhat chaotic production, this might just be the eps winning track. with a strong arrangement and little vocal edits this will no doubt get played alot. for the closing track we have got >paranoid< the title covers the load, strong dark techno music that will rock your world.

produced by elektro guzzi and patrick pulsinger recorded directly to analog tape. no edits. no overdubs.
elektro guzzi redefined the meaning of performing techno live. with just guitar, bass and drums, they take the most unusual playing techniques and put them together into a rigid mechanical form where everything makes instant, evident sense. if they had not performed live extensively, becoming audience favourites from mutek to sónar and from berghain to fabric, it would have been hard to believe this is really how the music is created. that said, it seemed impossible they could go even further in this direction. yet thats exactly what they did. parquet, their second studio album sees them in monomaniacal, claustrophobic techno mode. throughout the nine tracks the distinctions between instruments and roles are totally vaporized.

emanating from japan, and discovered by erid d (of rub n tug fame), these re-edit masterclasses would never have gotten outside of their native market. luckily a helping hand from one of nycs most hyped party throwers has guaranteed a wider audience!
all the combis so far have sold out in a matter of days and are now exchanging hands for silly money. this release has another glorious duo of obscure but super high quality dancefloor friendly edits.

incredible second release by disco tom aka tom noble (superior elevation) for the whatchawannado label, featuring two strong edits!

brand new label london label features superb karl o connor remix ! first edition limited to 350 copies with laser-cut sleeves folded, stamped and glued by hand. also features hand-numbered fluorescent card insert - see new pictures below . plain sleeved 2nd edition will swiftly follow . new from london based upstart diagonal comes a four tracker of tough, skeletal rhythms from label boss powell. revelling in mechanical hooks, cold, brittle percussion and unfamiliar time signatures, powell pursues new modes of dancefloor dread but is unashamedly indebted to the past to: (amongst others) the propulsive funk of suicide, the linear surge of nitzer ebb and the uncompromising force of mika vainio. no wave new york remains more of an inspiration than bass-heavy london, as does the vision and encouragement of friend and blackest ever black owner, kiran sande. diagonal would like to thank downwards boss karl o connor regis for his love and support and, of course, for the bleak and brilliant rework he has contributed to this first release. thank you karl...

nang powerhouse sare havlicek bursts back into the synth-scape once more with the first track from his second nang album. sare is a firm favourite here in nang towers and the mercurial, slovenian dynamo has hardly stopped for breath since his last releases on nang (a well deserved new masters comp, a co-mix credit on beach disco and also as part of the transatlantic disco alliance ep). to remix vibe on you nang have called in the talents of fellow adriatic funkster ilija rudman, who places his seal-of-authority on the sonics and gets brassed up. uk based head of bear funk stevie kotey pairs up with this lightning-fingered-keyboard neighbour manestar to create a cool cross between haddaway & ten city. sare contributes an instrumental and a slowed down, pitch-bent, 115 bpm version. his slyly retiled nothing you can do version jumps forward 4 years to 1985, sounding like a long lost stock-aitken and waterman extended 12 dance cut. stay tuned for sare album number 2 later in the year. weve heard it.. its a goodie.
