dream states of lust and lucidity, slow to speaks latest reissue of house musics halcyon years comes courtesy of mood ii swings visionary lem springsteen. originally released on the eightball sublabel empire state records in 1994, these excursionary landmarks saw springsteen bid farewell to his usual club-saturated exercises in queeny house euphoria for a hallucinatory breach into a secret realm of desire, where the whispers of a long-forgotten hunger meld with the floating synth-work of a true practitioner of the sacred art of club music. this is the soundtrack to the chill-out room of your unconsciouss kaleidoscopic sex dream, the sweet synth lines of springsteens ritual music still floating in your mind as you awake, alas, a little too soon. fear not: this dyonisian masterpiece is once more available thanks to the good spirits at dope jams, who remind you, *whatever the eye sees and covets, let the hand grasp!* not without asking (or paying) first, of course.

without blinking an eye, the californian double trouble known as myron & e bring yet another dose of heavy soul to the table. behind closed doors switches gears from their previous material, providing this time a genuine up-tempo dancer. propelled forward by the mayfieldesque stylings of the soul investigators, the tune should shatter knees at any northern soul setting around the globe.

2 original tracks plus 6 vinyl only locked grooves! next number on claap and it is another special offering. for our 16th release we welcome new kid on the berlin block kindimmer. we have had an eye on this upcoming creative spirit in a while and everyone was buzzing at claaphq when we got the tracks that kindimmer sent over. the grooves on both tracks got us so hooked that we asked kindimmer to produce locked grooves out of these beauties and turn this release into a locked album!

after the great success of the first ep, dirty session is back! luca bear chooses to sign the second release of his label. the key concept of ds is to propose a precise sound, characteristic, that evokes the early days of electronic music with an eye to the future. a journey into the unknown from the early 90s.
this release represents it in the best way with 3 raw tracks full of energy. the power of the siren of *garage take* mixed with the violence of *strictly forbidden (reworked)* and the touch of class signed by kasper with his superb remix. three killer tracks ready to destroy the dancefloor!

the space lady began her odyssey on the streets of san francisco in the late 70s, playing versions of contemporary pop music an accordion and dressed flamboyantly, transmitting messages of peace and harmony. following the theft of her accordion, the space lady invested in a then-new casio keyboard, birthing an otherworldly new dimension to popular song that has captured the imaginations of the underground and its lead exponents ever since, with the likes of john maus, erol alkan and kutmah being devotees.

packed with three headphone jams that work on the dancefloor, animals marks the entry of a new creative force into the throne of blood family and a return to a lighter, more spaced-outvibe than much of the nyc-based imprint’s output over the past year. with an eye towards pushing things forward whilst keeping a foot firmly planted in a shared past spent raving to all sorts of dance music, throne of blood is proud to introduce our latest signing: pleasure planet.

after some sort of slumber, shabu recordings is proud to present its new series: sharmx. sharmx is pretty self-explanatory: these eps will be a retrospective that breathes new life into tracks from previous releases. these born-again tracks are then presented under a new form that is dictated by another party, not previously involved in any creative process of the affiliated release. the word shabu being japanese for splash, this leads us to our first installment in the series: splash splash vol.1

spike wolters quartet of self released lps which surfaced between 1981 - 84 have become the stuff of legend. an avant garde collection of solo tracks, combining guitar, drum machines, synths & vocals into spacious, fx laden compositions which stand firmly outside of the era in which they were created. its a lo-fi, but broad selection, taking in experimental pieces, alongside taut post-punk workouts, and more laidback steely dan moments. the sixteen cuts on orange cloud nine have been lovingly compiled from those four early 80s lps by golf channels phil south. its a limited single vinyl package, with custom artwork from perks & minis misha & individual download code.

music in the niche between electronica, kraut & jazz. remixes by egokind, gebrueder teichmann & m.o.r.a. download code included.

nach der veröffentlichung des neuen albums tomorrow s harvest , das von einer aufsehenerregenden internetmarketingstrategie begleitet wurde und boards of canada weltweit erstmals in die charts katapultierte, erscheint nun - aufgrund starker nachfrage - eine reissue-reihe mit all ihren bisherigen vinylformaten. jedes neue vinyl enthält diesmal zusätzlich einen downloadcode. zuerst erscheinen die alben music has the right to children (1998), geogaddi (2002) und the campfire headphase (2006), im zweiten schritt das minialbum twoism (1995) sowie die beiden eps in a beautiful place out in the country (2000) und trans canada highway (2006).

featuring new material and recorded in the bands isolated studio on the edge of the essex marshes, the album ebbs and flows in mood like the nearby blackwater estuary. working with a palette of vintage drum machines, analogue synths, textural samples, acoustic recordings, electric bass & heavily treated guitar, the songs were born out of captured live studio performances.

the star eyed condition is chameleonic effort in the impossible to pin down trajectory of loden s career. the belgian-based producer and musician has already proven his facility for glassy disco and droning ambient on his 2005 debut valeen hope, and glitchy hip-hop via his work with sole and thirsty fish.
on his new album, koks goes even further beyond his already drawn boundaries. there is a touch of robo-electro to tracks like *optimist never cries* and *sanesserarian* (a play on the phrase *ça ne sert a rien* or *it is useless*). he brings the ghostly sounds of german electronic pop into the dirtiest of hip-hop beats. and on his collaboration with rhymer doseone, *future confetti*, he gets lost in a psychedelic wilderness worthy of dj danger mouse.

alba (formerly albatross), have combined an immaculate eye for detail and warmth with their brand new release, knokke / law. the sydney duo have been hard at work perfecting their live show and supporting the likes of four tet, mount kimbie and gold panda for the past year so everyones appetite is whet for more tunes! a-side knokke comes out strong with the dogged drive of 909 hats and kick, over deep ominous noise and re-pitched vocals.

george evelyn präsentiert sein erstes album seit seinem umzug nach ibiza. der mann greift tief in die geschichte der black music und zaubert eine zeitgenössische, balearische vision aus motown-soul, disco, funk, reggae, dub, latin und trip-hop aus dem Ärmel, die - aufgenommen mit erstklassigen musikern - wie eine wiedergeburt wirkt.

brownswood präsentiert das brilliante debütalbum des birminghamer quintetts troumaca. die formation, die der karibik näher als den englischen midlands zu sein scheint, liefert auf the grace originellen tropical-pop auf house-beats abseits des mainstreams ab. britische fachkritiker von bbc bis nme sind bereits begeistert, und sie werden sicherlich nicht die einzigen bleiben!

following the success of factors compilations chandelier and lawson graham, the beatsmith embarked on a concept record in the vein of a prince among thieves and wound up with the melodic, complex symphony of woke up alone, mixed by factor himself at his home studio and featuring roles played by ceschi, open mike eagle, onry ozzborn, myka 9 and astronautalis. factors relatable allegory, scored by swirling synths, samples and live instrumentation, extends well beyond necromancy, as multitudes upon multitudes have gazed haphazardly in the rear view mirror and tried to resuscitate that which is irreparably gone.
code for free download of the full album included.

kelpe makes his first outing on don’t be afraid as part of their coveted dba dubs series. monte verità sees the london based beat veteran at his housiest (sic) yet. the track sports a low slung four to the floor and a deadly analogue funk bassline. kevin reynolds improvises on the original with a more upbeat outsider house groove and an acid line guaranteed to bring the dancefloor to its knees. since coming to the attention of dc recordings in early 2003 kelpe has released three albums, the latest of which *the golden eagle* dropped this year to critical acclaim. detroits kevin reynolds has consistently turned heads with his unique take on the modern house sound. as well as releases on his own nsyde recordings he has appeared on cult us imprints like todchai and love what you feel.

20 years ago the track unfuture, released on sven väths imprint eye q, marked a milestone in technoproductions with its uncompromising style and sound, delivering a view on techno which was revolutionary at that time: stripped down to only a couple of sounds in general, the track had an impact on dancefloors as not often seen before in those trance-dominated times - and still has!

- already supported by: psychemagik, quentin harris, dave harvey (futureboogie), volta bureau, the supermen lovers, aeroplane, huxley...

rogue vogue has been making a name for himself as a producer worth keeping an eye on with releases on french express and remixes on deep&disco & french horn rebellion. he is finally ready to release his next original ep titled say you will on his new home at house of disco records.

a little over year after its foundation, reaktivate achieves one of its 1st major goals: to put out a release in a tangible, physical format. even though the label tries to put the same care into each of its releases, independently of the final form it takes, as we believe in making the music acessible to as many people as possible, we realize that entering the vinyl market is a decisive step in the showing of commitment and belief in what we do and the artists we support, to the scene at large. for this landmark release, rkt upholds its tendency to be a platform that combines both newcomers and established artists in techno. up and coming colombian talent daniel restrepo (astronomical telegram) represents a strong bet that we feel is justified, and here he is met by three (well, actually four) artists with proven track records in modern techno with an eye beyond the functional.

after first meeting stef smith aka lakosa at a birmingham warehouse rave back in 2010, the 2nd drop camp have been keeping an eye on this burgeoning talent, especially as he has popped music out on kerri chandlers madtech imprint among others. co-producer rick grant is 1/3 of take records and with releases on george fitzgeralds manmakemusic label, another key talent making moves this year. and despite having never met each other (they communicate via email and bass frequencies), it seems that when they collaborate the magic happens.

shipwrec continues its 2013 expansion, third of the year, with the excellent arnold steiner

australaborialis is the concept mini-album from melbourne drum machine kid, inkswel. a collection of raw ideas, tape jams, new concepts and gritty homages.

jon hopkins war lange ein phantom der internationalen elektronik- und produzentenszene: während seiner oft unbemerkten zusammenarbeiten mit künstlern wie coldplay, brian eno und king creosote sammelte er in den letzten zehn jahren ideen, die er 2013 endlich in form seines vierten soloalbums immunity veröffentlicht. vom ersten moment, in dem die bässe leise aus den boxen blubbern, es aus allen ecken britzelt, gluckst, zirpt, blingt, schlurft, schleift und atmet, entwickelt sich immunity zu einem starken und vielschichtigen album, vollgepackt mit den besten sounds, die hopkins je produziert hat.
180 gramm doppel-vinyl im klappcover, mp3 downloadcode inklusive.

20 years ago the track *unfuture*, release on sven väths imprint eye q, marked a milestone in techno productions with its uncompromising style and sound, delivering a view on techno which was revolutionary at that time: stripped down to only a couple of sounds in general, the track had an impact on dancefloors as not often seen before in those trance-dominated times - and still has! alex grabbed the vinyl out of his vinyl-collection after years, did an edit for his own, sent it to pascal feos who produced the original back then and who really liked this edit and the idea in general, and so alex decided to start a remixproject on this pure classic track with young, but also established artists who were not afraid of taking the adventure to remix a track that actually consists of nothing more than a distorted kickdrum, a really monotone off-beat organ sound and an oldschool acidline. here we are with the first part of the repaints of this alltime-classic, coming from uk techno-heavywight and legend mark broom with two interpretation as well as berlins uprising and promising vault-series mastermind subjected. true and high class recycling again on credo to save our planet from bad music

turns out that cold meat lights no fire so attached to this music are ghosts of my life transcribing their emotions into techno. first half of this rocket is more on a negative tip, the second half is more positive, like we all should take it. either way you should listen to both sides cause they complement each other, so try to relax and enjoy the ride, or get off your ass and jam.

hat barrington levy seinen charakteristischen ohoho molldreiklang in absteigender tonfolge eigentlich jemals als markenzeichen schützen lassen? der reggae-saenger ist mit dieser stimmlichen signatur jedenfalls auf anhieb zu erkennen, nicht zuletzt, weil er von diesem gesangs-jingle ausgiebigen gebrauch gemacht hat. am legendärsten natuerlich auf seinem dancehall-hit here i come, mit dem diese werkschau seiner fruehen karriere von 1979-84 gewissermaßen abschließt. zu beginn war er uebrigens noch zarte 15 jahre jung und hatte mit songs wie shine eye gal schon ordentlich vorgelegt. ein zu unrecht vernachlaessigter klassiker. >d:bug<

commencing their 2013 release schedule with a glint in their eye and a friend by their side, masomenos return to feed our ears with their cerebral brand of house and techno!

ausgehend von einer großen liebe zu drone, shoegaze, post rock, frühen synthie-klängen und der ausufernden musik der 70er, wächst die klangwelt von conduits zu etwas größerem als der summe ihrer einzelteile: glockenartige gitarren, fließende drums, analoge synthesizer, progige basslinien und eine wunderschöne weibliche stimme, die stark genug ist, um in den wirbelnden soundlandschaften nicht verloren zu gehen. conduits aus omaha, nebraska, gründeten sich 2009 und bestehen aus mitgliedern von the good life, eagle seagull, son ambulance, neva dinova, cursive und the golden age.
der vinyl-lp liegt eine cd-kopie des albums bei.
