humans are an abstraction of animal life form – and this is their soundtrack. on the first release monomood shows some light. but the light is pulsating in stroboscopic rhythms and enlightens shadows of moving creatures locked into a murky basement. if this is too disturbing for you, the well known grounded theory mastermind henning baer slows down the frequency to turn the raging floor into a dark moving mass hypnosis. after that you can recognize some dark scientists are brewing a fascinating cocktail out of boiling bass anddistorted sounds capes. drink it and you will know!

the dynamic duo of lightbluemover (aka francis harris) and black light smoke are back, releasing a split ep on their home base, scissor and thread. “no cliché / poppa’s bag” follows two strong collaborations the pair released on hfn and poker flat, with the former yielding the dj secret weapon “girn,” and the latter making big noise with “idiot fare.” this latest ep includes the label debut of former beirut member jason poranski whose punchy and irreverent vocal on lightbluemover’s “no cliché” has been a flash point in harris’ sets the world over for the past year. on the flip we get two versions of “poppa’s bag,” from black light smoke which has similarly been featured in his hotly tipped live set. label mate anthony collins adds a dj friendly edit to “no cliché” which is exclusive to the digital edition of the ep

neben ihrer rolle als offizielle hausband des brooklyner labels dunham records hat die menahan street band bereits 2008 ein erstes album veröffentlicht, dass nicht nur von den kritikern bejubelt wurde sondern auch deshalb von sich reden macht, weil es so oft gesampelt wurde, wie kaum eine andere zeitgenössische funk- oder soul-platte. samples von made the road by walking finden sich unter anderem in songs von weltbekannten kollegen wie jay-z, 50 cent, kid cudi und vielen anderen. 2011 spielte die band no time for dreaming, das debüt-album der soul-sensation charles bradley ein den sie auf seiner welt-tournee auch als backingband begleiteten. das album wurde co-komponiert und produziert von mbs-gründungsmitglied thomas brenneck.

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. its loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts...

early sähkö / seico corp inspired goodness from new project, shadows. limited 1st edition on clear vinyl feat. insert & poly sleeve. avian moves on from the last two highly successful releases by londons mpia3 with a new project from undercover operatives, shadows. taking cues from early sähkö or seico corp records and putting a modern twist on it, shadows first ep for avian features two bruised & scorched original productions as well as a reinterpretation by new yorks mike parker who takes distorted images and reconstructs it in his own typically restrained but super effective style.

tribute continue to chart the deeper, funkier and more balearic musical territories with their mighty dj friendly reworks. for the latest edition, cut n paste duties are rumoured to be supplied by none other than keep schtum (the man behind the amazing hang together remake) and he serves up a serious slice of dance floor driven funk. single sided vinyl, no digital and with a heavy, heavy cut!

luca c & brigante are beginning to need no introduction as their heady balearic mix of sounds continue to resonate from the beach to the club. together, they have dropped bombs such as >different morals< feat. ali love and the robert owens fronted >tomorrow can wait<. luca c is also one half of infinity ink, whose >infinity< has been one of the summers biggest records, and a new addition to hot natured alongside jamie jones, ali love and lee foss. sebi aka brigante has remixed the new single from ali love, about to drop on no.19. aligning with the ancient mayan prophecy that the end of the world is due december 21st 2012, luca c & brigantes new single >flash of light< featuring dance music icon roisin murphy is a call to love like there is no tomorrow. embedded in heavy reverb and stripped back to slow steady drums, the mood rises as roisins crystalline vocals fall into rhythm and weightlessness builds with the bassline hook, pearly high-pitched strings and a burst of harmonic percussion.

sunwalkers is the b-side project of rks, thats what happens when the power of the beats meets the light of the synths. a raw mix of miscellaneous pad and analogue drums that start with a tribute, a detroit reminding track, 303 acid bass and a blaze of sweet melodies, like the old school way says. the ride goes on with 2, an easy dancing jam, the piano chords run into an unceasing clap for a massive dirty floor killer. on the b-side terrence parker puts his groovy piano style on a brilliant remix of the light, seven minutes of pure detroit parkers energy with a dreamy heartbreaker bridge.

2014 repress !! we think we do not have to introduce sven weisemann, but for all of you who are not familiar with his work... sven has released on top labels such as delsin, smallfish, echocord, liebe detail and maybe the label he is mostly associated with is mojuba records, which is based in berlin. his release for telrae starts with elapse a track so detached from everything and at the same time so earthly, it gains that mystic touch some trax radiate. it is again a timeless track on telrae what we think is a quality we strive for. light sway seems harder at first but turns out to be more melodic and light than elapse and so the title fits it just right!

after blazing out of bushwick in 2011 with two buzzworthy singles, a reputation for turning live gigs into spontaneous diy parties (and vice versa), and a bio built to withstand the most cynical indie-blog cred-vetting – brooklyns friends will release their debut album manifest! on lucky number.

though >the duke< is a tribute album, it is also very much a joe jackson album, consistent with his long-standing sense of musical adventure.
>i revere duke ellington, but i didnt want this to be a reverent album,< joe jackson says of >the duke<, his new tribute to american jazz giant ellington.

nice price deal !!! nach der erfolgreichen veröffentlichung ihres fantastischen albums >electric cables< im april diesen jahres, erscheint am 27.07.2012 eine ep mit dem track >silver & gold<, welcher schon auf dem album enthalten war plus drei weitere, wunderschöne bisher unveröffentlichte stücke. die neuen songs wurden in der selben session wie der vorgänger von dave mcgowan (gitarre, teenage fanclub), dave mcgowan (gitarre, teenage fanclub), brendan o hare (schlagzeug, teenage fanclubs erstbesetzung), tom crossley (flöte, international airport & the pastels) und bob kildea (bass, belle & sebastian) aufgenommen.

after the club tropicana sounds of bang the bomb its time to roll the sleeves up and get down to the business end of this trip. touching down on planet subturanus in search of the real underground shit light sound dark do not disappoint digging deep into its core and excavating strange alien like sonics which had previously been lying dormant.

having both previously released on phuture shock musik, garage experimentalists roof light and lostlojic return to share the honours on a split single set for release on the bristol label. always one to maintain an eclectic approach in his work, surrey resident roof light returns to his forward-thinking best, offering up >pearl< - a sultry number, where jerky beats intertwine with fragmentations of female vox that saunter through swathes of synth pads, glitchy blips, and warm dubby bass. on the flip lostlojic continues the regular theme of passion in his music, bouncing back with >so much<, another r&b inflected dancefloor gem, incorporating a saccharine vocal hook over a bed of lush rhodes chords. soulful as ever, and riding a 4/4 rhythmn just beyond the familiar 140bpm region, this tune premieres a departure from the typically cold, brooding style that the ukraine based producer is known for, to something more suited for the warm summer nights.

this lust und freude release by rodrigo polder aka re- light from santiago de chile is a jazzy-house style ep perfect for the summer season ready to spread the joy and make the sun shine brighter.

so what is after the void ... we bang the bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenades, obvious really! having been away for some time it appears that a light sounds dark spring is in the air. en route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants danger electrified tracks out this summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, its full steam ahead and proper european dance music time. not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like maltas very own ian dury by the name of iain richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic italo covers of big in japan, gloria, a wonderful new wave version of falcos euro smash der kommissar and the thoughts massive german hit wait a long time sounding like some long lost talk talk record. light sounds dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems axodrys you and colme 111s you take me high (early euro take on chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky theres some groovy goings on from kraut funksters epsilon urging people to leave the city which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.

next up on hot creations local london hero alexis raphael comes to the fore with two original tracks that display the producers intricate and diverse underground house style. tried and tested on a multitude of dancefloors, >into the light< is now unleashed to the masses with a quality business remix from the label heads hot natured.

white hills newest and most energized recording to date is bursting with raw energy packed into their most concise songs to date. fear not long time white hills fans, there is still loads of killer guitar work and fuzzed out psychedelia on frying on this rock.

nice price deal !!! the record opens with “origins”, and we hit the ground running with an obese bass-line dipping through a sparse rhythm .this is a deeply touching jack-attack, infused with stripped-down, cold-wave hysterics and touched by that very distinct meschi charm. science-fiction synth-lines smash through a rugged beat, wailing at you with such force that you can’t help but take notice.

second release on this promising french label.advanced industrial techno as we like it!inspired by an anticipated post-apocalyptic future,polar inertia formed their duo in 2010,they swiftly pointed themselves in the direction of an extremely contrasted music, both heavy and delicate. evoking a sci-fi end-of-the-world countdown scenario, the two artists of polar inertia decided to move aside,and make way for an imaginative and poetic world based on the words of a mysterious narrator. this is the first episode of polar inertia,and our second release on dement3d records.
