a brilliant tune produced by a team who also worked together at chicago s loop record store, jesse jones and carl bias. written by leroy haggard (aka mr. lee) when you hold me was arguably the fiest of the deep house genre. the pair went on to work extensively with liz torres, the queen of house. re mastered for 2016 and re released in conjunction with trax.

after a brief hiatus komplex de deep and its chief protagonist master-h make a welcome return together to present the label’s twenty second release. in his very own words, -this is a new me-, h is now ready to unveil new music having been holed away in the studio for months on end mastering an array of new hardware and analog processes. the french producer is also challenging himself with the recording, locking down each individual track live and in one take. an art that was practiced by many of the jazz greats in their heyday and one that has also influenced the title of the new release - ’soul take’. as with all master-h productions we are drawn to the detail and emotion. ‘somba people’ with its inviting tribal rhythm pairs traditional african song with a warm and enveloping blanket of strings, handclaps and bass. the title track ramps things up with its bobbing drums, stabbing synth and echoing cowbell. one take and plenty of soul. komplex de deep are also happy to announce that they are now a strictly limited vinyl only label.

new x-masters! after the massive nicholas/morning factory release its finn gold with the 2nd x-masters. finn gold resisted his routines and started working on some other music... opening track is a briliant cover version of the classic atmosphere. pretty bold to cover such a classic, but finn gold nailed it! flip side gives 2 other excellent 90s inspired tracks for the body and soul. pretty amazing release!! recommended.

amsterdams house music master of insanity steps up to the mic to deliver some lust inspired poetry. old school chords and a groove worthy of a nyc shelter ep crafted with san by two cynosure regulars… mike shannon and andrea fiorito. an instant party classic.

anders enges interest in modular synthesizers comes from a desire to shut down conscious decisions about form and to focus on rhythm and timbre. this does however not land in traditional techno but rather in a riff-oriented style, the riff being both rhythm and melody and also a morphing entity in the music. drums and percussion attempt to follow this entity, while maintaining a link to the dance music pulse. the resulting style makes for a hybrid timewarped experience of travelling a parallell electronic music reality, a brooding technoid that grooves

after being returned from his abduction by aliens from the hidden planet nibiru, dj overdose was given an alien synthesizer the haex-hrll as a thank you for all the cerebral research the aliens did on him. on returning back to earth all dj overdose had to do was finish the 6 tracks the aliens had started to work on, which became this ep. straight forward techno hop electro funk without any fancy-pants pretentious hooha. its like a black and white movie which makes you think why the hell is there colors anyway?! after completion, the only record label he could imagine being fit for such rawness would be viewlexx... and so here it is.

official 2014 re-issue of hm 1002 released in 1983 limited 100 copies on red vinyl limited 300 copies on standard black vinyl / picture cover / limited supplies / this record comes from the peak era of italo-disco. this release is pure quality, genius, so simple yet so brilliant. from the guys who brought the amazingly beautiful -stop / livin up- release under bwh. this record is equally amazing, with a spectacular drumbeat and very nicely layered synth, parallel to -stop- in brilliance and sequence, but a bit simpler and slightly shorter. its a shame that this track is only 4:30 long and that the duo released only a handful of italo-disco gems altogether under the aliases of bwh, blackway and mr master.

grab the new s&c 005 record, a split 12inch by ender & stiletti-ana, put it on and lay down on your sofa. hear the opening groove from enders track p.l.i.h. and find your self getting up immediately to turn the stereo a little louder. adapt your self to the super tight, locked & futuristic and very original techno groove. watch especially out for the killer stab line in it as it is just something you will most likely find your self humming while shopping or taking your dog out. after the original mix of p.l.i.h. you will hear the stiletti-ana s stripped down version. he must have cut everything else out in his mix with his switch blade besides the ruthless stab line. dig the endless and ever growing stab jacking and remember that p.l.i.h side of the record is very serious and addictive for both club & home users. turn the record around and go back to your sofa. hear the twisted detroitian afro acid disco of stiletti-ana s track i got the master unit. filled with merciless synths and forcing rhythms i got the master unit leaves no questions of the keeper of that unit. the user of the unit seems to turn all things to the max and play midi tracks with tesla coil a like instruments. after the original it is ender s time to use the master unit and turn down the lights and ask the question: do you think that there will be something nice happening soon?

after an acclaimed serie of remixes on labels like freerange, fresh meat, composite & komplex de deep in 2011, dairmount is back on his own imprint with dust devil. recorded this summer between gothenburg & berlin with nowakowski, the swedish hotshot of the label, dust devil emphasized strongly dairmount s love for house music infused of hip hop attitude. the motto is clear: reduced number of elements, samples only, maximum impact. dairmount, who has always been strongly influenced by hip hop production techniques, had lots of fun to collaborate with nowakowski, another strong hip hop influenced tweaker. following a busy dj schedule that brought him in the last 18 months across scandinavia, us, turkey, france, holland & latvia between others, dairmount is the true soul & ambassador of the label that he created in 2009.

suicide dubs sister label league of the shamed is something that will scare the life out of you! this filthy 12 inch comes with two disturbing tunes from label owner high ranking and one part of the hench crew wedge. >escape from the hood< is soul destroying experience, with the calm before the storm this one drops hard! with its big tearing bass and crazy drum edits this one is gonna hit where it hurts! >puppet master< brings a eerie, spooky feel to it, this is halloween with sub! with its rolling growling bass that sits nicely under a haunting piano riff, this is a must for anyone who likes it dark!

blue skies and late nights, camp fires and cheap delights and whisky drained straight from the jar. in a hammock slung below a sky of dreams and sea of stars lay a pop princess and a hip hop pioneer, arms entwined and eyes locked into each others stare they whisper sweet – nothings to each other, >you re flash< he says >take it slow< she purrs back >and dont even dont think about going down under!< a mile or two out to sea, floats what has come to be known as a mega-yacht. aboard his life like an episode of mtv cribs but with more parties and less gold-encrusted pool tables. surrounded by beauties by the bevy and sipping on gin and juice, duff scans the horizon with his telescope (solid platinum, encrusted with diamonds, built in infa red) and spies young love or a new hope. smiling to himself he thinks >they look different, younger perhaps at least changed, if not for the better but changed at least which is surely a good thing<. he turns to the girls on the boat, one hand pointing to the shore and the other raising his drink to the sky he shouts >i helped create that<.

we have been waiting a long time for the bmg debut album. in the beginning of august the wait will finally be rewarded: >master of the universe< will be available both as vinyl and digital version on abstract records. who expects the typical album exploring the whole bandwidth of electronic music, will be deliberately disappointed. all eight tracks are definitely made for the dancefloor with familiar bmg relentlessness. stomping basslines, smashing snares, gloomy vocals and the typical synths make this album one of a kind. in addition you will get the wistfully expected bmg hymn in a wicked live version. bmg at its very best
