modernista records reaches it’s fifth release and it’s over to paul bennett again with a pair of impressively varied productions. * on before off* is stripped to the bare bones techno with ever contorting razor-sharp arpeggios. as a counter balance, * although sometimes appear* is deep, emotive, melodic house with sound system-shaking bottom end.

*before this world*, james taylors long-awaited new album, is his first collection of new material since 2002s *october road*.

proper techno from this no frills label that serves up swinging, heavyweight and dubby techno funk.

just emma – a new side project from minimal lounge addicted to soulful music. the first title comes with remixes from david jach (mangue records, keno), timo jahns (freundchen, 9volt) and helmut ebritsch.

with a limited 200 piece edition on vinyl -rüttelplatten- tries to catch the people on the danceflooor and also the regular listeners of modern electronic dance music. with -just before i leave- and -you- steve cole (swiss) & ronald christoph (berlin) provide the young label with two deep tech house smashers for a good start. label owner gunman does the remix for -you- and the spanish artist (living in france) eddy romero gives his interpretation for -just before i leave-. so these guys are just one part of the rüttelplatten family. the next members are already in pole position.

demented house/techno on a-side, and ebm-style techno banger on b-side by yourhighness (maracas rec). very good...tip!

colors, the east-london party collective has been on a roll as of late, with a spate of successful events that have taken them across europe to berlin, istanbul and barcelona to name a few countries. as the name suggests, each event draws inspiration from the colour spectrum, with guests encouraged to dress up in a different chosen shade each night to get down to a soundtrack influenced by deep house, funk, disco and techno.

plastic love welcomes fellow angeleno michael walsh on board for the 2nd release on their budding label. walsh s debut ep showcases the producer s breadth and depth of all things rave with two distinct tracks aimed squarely at the dancefloor. before when it was new s unmistakeable melody act as a call to the dancefloor while a rumbling bassline underneath keeps you locked into a groove. strobe lights arpeggiated bassline and snappy disco drums showcase how versatile walsh can be. remixes come courtesy of label co-boss maheras as well as caravan boss and aus music stalwart dj october

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!

raucous, volatile, crackling brilliance from north japan, testing the monster-infested electric fencing between techno and noise. plus some witching, spasming, dancefloor eomac to polish you off.

at some point in 2013, friendly fires, andrew weatherall and timothy j fairplay (aka the asphodells), convened in an east london pub to discuss collaborating on new music together. the plan was to produce music that came from a place outside of their respective usual musical styles - a loose, open-ended process embarked upon for the pure joy of experimentation and collaboration rather than a specific end goal. the collaboration came on the back of two hugely successful friendly fires albums - 2008s debut friendly fires and 2011s follow up pala - and an acclaimed debut album from the asphodells in 2013s ruled by passion destroyed by lust, the latest in a long line of classic releases from andrew weatherall’s own rotters golf club label. the result is *before your eyes* and *velo* - two brand new tracks that take close to ten minutes each to reveal their full hypnotic glory. the tracks will be released as a aa-sided single on translucent, orange colored 12 inch vinyl and will be the inaugural release on friendly fires own telophase label.

michael & mattis are based between new york and oslo. maybe thats why their music has such a unique feel. blending the oddness of norwegian labels as sex tags mania and the ongoing musical heritage of nyc in hip-hop, disco and house, they produce twisted house jams that manage to remain raw and catchy at the same time. bold grooves and smooth vibes produ- ced with tape warmth and a singular pop appeal.

as the title suggests the new before the show album depicts beginnings and endings. we believe that life has many different beginnings and endings, and that the various journeys we take from one beginning to one end are filled with detours – and it is these detours which continually shape and define us as the people we are. musically years&years&years picks up where hearts and heads left off, however, it has developed towards a bigger and more complex sound image. it can best be described as a combination of sting and peter gabriel on one hand, and smashing pumpkins and radiohead on the other.

brilliant bass-heavy techno tracks with a strong industrial vibe… a must have in the record bags of all techno-djs coming on limited orange transparent vinyl!

4 solid tracks on soul rock!

in just three years, berlin based artist dehnert has gone from unknown talent to underground hero with his very own >raw techno< sound making waves on labels like his own imprint fachwerk and now delsin, where he finds himself at home amongst the future music of talented cohorts redshape, a made up sound, delta funktionen and more. this ep is an introduction to his upcoming album framework - an uncompromising album made up of pure techno tracks of the sort youd expect to hear on the dancefloors of places like berghain or tresor. they go from pulsing and classic sounding to skipping and glitchy, through greyed-out and sandy via swinging and syncopated but always with a sense of restraint and control whether they are abstract, apocalyptic, atmospheric or whatever else. although his tracks are undeniably functional, at the same time, they are neither nondescript nor forgettable: somehow, through masterful sound designs and an accomplished knack for blending real tension and atmosphere with his obvious basic channel and berghain influences, mike dehnert manages to lock you into whatever mood takes his fancy with apparent ease.

originating from argentina, savor music is a multi-cultural project that aims at bringing out our favorite flavors in sound. the leading forces behind the project are cape and jorge savoretti, both natives of the city of rosario. savor music kicks off underlining the madrilenian connection, so dear to us. it is represented here by our great friend papol of the esperanza crew. developing his sound release after release, he allowed us to pick through his best tracks in order to inaugurate our 12 inch vinyl series. on the a side, first up is >before tea<, a strong driving bomb with a crossover appeal. on a2, ekkohaus delivers a surprising broken beat take of >dub 2010<.

microworlds signature is clearly evident throughout - the slow smooth build-up, with every new sound revealing extra dimensions within the music. definitely an after hours track that will go straight to your soul. the second track >ism< is a minimal but effective rhythm, a driving bassline, a catchy synthesizer and vocal sample that will stick in your head. canadian producer arthur oskan chose to remix >ism< and rebuild it into a pulsating 9 minute club track overflowing with warm synthesizers.

...enjoy this unfinished buisness and play it loud!!!

there are few artists these days who consistently succeed to focus their passions, talents and instincts into deliciously individual, melancholic, beautiful and timeless recordings. irish born donnacha costello is amongst the highest ranks of such artists. poker flat is proud to announce donnacha costellos new full length album, >before we say goodbye<. echoes of chicago house, detroit techno, and uk ambient techno flow through its futuristic core, as we find donnacha exploring further his love for deep, hypnotising grooves, rich synth themes and emotive harmonies. this vinyl version features four cuts taken from the long-player.

nice price deal !!! debox welcomes another exceptional artist. 24 year old talent christian schwarz delivers a debut that easily matches the production standard of guys that have been in the business for years and clearly stands out from the monthly pile of same sounding tracks. before you told me, which features christians own vocals comes along with fat analog synth sounds, dark atmosphere and a detail orientation and emotional depth which reminds of trentemoeller or swyazak. the massive remix package features versions by spanish dj legend memo and the london based producer duo dzeta n basile. memo combines the original with pumping house grooves and a spoonful of retro coolness to an extremely danceable mixture while dzeta n basile fragmentize the catchy vocals, creating a hypnotic, tribal infected minimal track which will surely have the same effect on the dancefloor. last but not least sternenfänger (starcatcher ) takes the listener on a journey through a strange soundgarden, following the beat along beautifully distorted structures and experimental contrasts.

in the sequence of numbers the seventh follows the sixth blow. this one is the first ever solo release by daniel d. curtis featuring three tracks. a sides first minutes already forebode the expressiveness of before we come. with well known techno structures in the background the magical spheres literally embrace and motivate every summer lover to a hip swing. after the first zweikarakter contributions and remixes, which are on pt006 (bachner & biereige - home summer) there is nothing more to mention than to listen, feel, and the artists request to get paid.
