time to say goodbye.my idea behind falkplatz schallplatten was from the beginning to release 10 catalogue numbers and shut it down after. so, it took me 4 years to come to this point and it definitely feels right to do this step. in the meantime i founded a few other labels that are more heads down and where names dont matter that much.

vinyl box-set limited to 500 copies + includes the compilation on cd - time is running and it seems like we just woke up out of our interstellar sleep-mode as we are facing the arrival of the 14th edition of the almighty cocoon recordings compilation.

after the success of the first ep on belief system records in 2013, ritzi lee has decided its time to deliver the next bomb! with radio signals ep ritzi is taking a deeper exploration on how certain signal sounds can influence space, and how he can apply this in techno music. the result (for now) is 4 tracks that cover different levels of suspence. >deflected< works like a frequency shield where no influences from outside can come through. >activate< is a subtile suspence build up to pass over the signals to infinity. >s.o.s.< is the tune to save our souls in techno music. and >code 754< is the technology to support intergalactic carrier wave transport.

stephan bodzin and marc romboy are very good friends. and this is maybe the main reason why they made a couple of tracks together which have become milestones of the discography of systematic recordings. you cannot really plan these things, so lets call it coincidence that both of them returned to the studio together after a break of four long years. and exactly at the point of time when the ep is finalized systematic turns 100 when it comes to the catalogue numbers. so lets celebrate their new output with this special picture disc!

21st century house music as its best. charming garage fragments and timeless motown compounds evolving into technological frequency texture through a combination of old transistors and contemporary circuit boards. uplifting, solid, soulful, ravy. dancefloor future classics.

the dixon avenue basements jams star ascends to the heavens and beyond with a cold crushin killer from modini. these are bonafide summer jams, just in time for the lick of heat we re having and perfect for slamming on whilst you scrape the melted tarmac off the road with a twig and guzzle bombastically coloured fizzy drinks. or alternatively, if you happen to be a fully grown-ass person, a 3-day roof party might do the do. the cut of modini s jib takes the shape of fully fledged funk cloak woven from the silk of the brazilian wandering spider, and adorned with jewels purchased on the black market from what is believed to have been a cache belonging to black caesar, most likely from his days of pillaging the florida keys circa 1718ad. bleepy house jams and halloween synth flurries belting out the mix, slabs of knee-grazing boogie and bulldozing dance floor drama - modini: hear thy name and know the essence of rhythmic grooooove. with this release dabj presents the first in a series of limited edition monotone prints (pictured below) from dan axon - simple ink on paper describing the energy of dabj, it s origins, people, music, direction and future.)

bok & trago are back with another 12- of deeply textured, hypnotic house music. this time taking a melodic approach on the a-side main mix of -need this-, the london-amsterdam duo borrow and flips motifs from a classic. -need this (radio mix)- is a piece of slow-burning deep-tech, helicopter blade arps hovering over epic fm bassline and churning percussive guts. a well-deserved melodic reveal at 4 minutes gives way to plenty of weightless beats to keep djs busy on the loop button - blending perfection ensured. on the flip, the 12- mix strips out the melodies and turns up the percussive heat. the results are a sweltering dub strictly for the dancers

the first part of another golf channel double header from the insanely prolific and scarily on form combination of dean meredith & ben shenton. a side *c.e.r.e.m.o.n.y.* has been dubbed the barnyard stomp by split secs / sonns travis kirschbaum (aka tk disco) - 11 minutes of bluesy peyote riot that features derek holt of 70s black country legends the climax blues band. b side *hiding from my shadow* is ripe with the funk too, but takes us away from the fertile stench of the psychedelic session in the barn and instead channels minneapolis via stafford as p-funk squiggles give way to mr. meredith’s trademark chugging bass. metal and technology vs mother earth in an elemental battle - both sides win! golf channel every time !

hot city orchestra is a reformation of a band, which was originally formed in 1998. at the age of 17, arno völker (einzelkind) and simon birkenfeld became friends and started making drum and bass music together. they toured all over germany with their record label and had residencies at robert johnson in offenbach and tanzhaus west in frankfurt. after gaining years of experience within the breakbeat scene, arno went on to become einzelkind with releases on playhouse, cocoon, white and his own imprints la peña, jax and pressure traxx as well as worldwide dj gigs. simon was still focusing on his breakbeat career for another year, making an album with a uk drum and bass legend, but it was never released. he stopped making music and started focusing on his career in pr and marketing, where he mostly worked on music and art projects. during this time, the long-time friends arno and simon came up with the idea to launch the blog-network-project www.disco-very. net now, 16 years later, after making first beats together, the boys are back! a tiny bit older, much wiser, more handsome and around 50 bpm slower.

roman flügel takes us by the hand and through ten tracks that sometimes feel like songs without a voice

still living in slavery is mr raoul ks third album. it is, however, the first one that will be released on his own label baobab music. he thought for quite some time about to shift the african instruments and african rhythm structures that uses in his production processs into a more dominant, more exposed position. giving them a role of there own and freeing them from being bound to a groove coined by a four-to-the-floor kickdrum. while using dominating drumsounds when producing records aimed for the dancefloor seemed reasonible, they werent needed for the storytelling concept throughout this album and are left to the accompanying remixes.

a new strong package from grey report. this time with takaaki itoh and adriana lopez. proper techno cuts.

the one and only eric sneo graces phobiq for the first time with this three-track journey into sleek, chrome-plated techno. the title track has been surgically arranged so that the cavernous percussion and spacious effects can take over the whole track with their immersing strength. the grinding drums in combination with the hypnotic, filtered riff running throughout the track kick things up a notch and ensure maximum overdrive. on *stanch*, snappy drums provide the backdrop for otherworldly hi-hats to pound away while the focus shifts to the immense rhythm section and percussive mayhem. as expected, an apocalyptic breakdown ensues and all hell proceeds to break loose. *interleaved* picks up from there and seals the ep with classic chords that mutate over time together with more sonic manipulation, which ultimately serves as an exhibition of effortless mastery.

der zweite longplayer dieser zusammenarbeit, high life, wird bereits am ende juni auf warp records veroeffentlicht. das gelungene musikalische experiment der beiden ist vom repetitiven minimalismus von komponisten wie steve reich und philipp glass und der polyrhythmik von fela kuti und funk an sich inspiriert

well deserved repress of a timeless 3-tracker from young male.

the next outing on mora music comes from leeds based tms, delivering two well-rounded & versatile tracks. *fuck you, pay me* is the peak timer with firing, pounding kick drums and off-key stabs in the background. it builds to a crescendo of intense feedback, before suddenly dropping with the bass line you have been waiting for. *slomotion* on the b-side is the slow burner of the ep confirmed by the beautiful hook that comes in halfway through the track. rounding off the release comes a remix of slomotion from mora music favourite bobby o donnell. this hypnotic trippy little number raises the bar, taking the track to an intense dance floor high.

brilliant! classic chilean influenced stuff with a splendid touch of international atmosphere. with two weightless pieces of music which seem to be suptle at the same time, un_node shows, that one or another movement has still its reason to exist in our young electronic history. both pieces remember of the classic south american house and connect this to dynamic aesthetics sounds. finally, this music with international character scintillates without any exaggeration and is thereby unmistakable.

it s been a long, long time since coyu produced an ep full of original tracks for his beloved kitty label. september of 2013 was the last party groovers from him. through all these months our mastercat has released several eps on cocoon recordings, snatch! records, noir music, bedrock records and some edits and original tracks with ramiro lopez and edu imbernon that have been released on suara. finally, we have our mastercat alone with two oustanding cuts. in my mind is a dark techno track with a break that it will literally blow your head up... balls , however, is a very housey and summery cut that will definetely break your hips because of the instantly recognisable vocals and the killer darbuka rhythm. enjoy this is 100% coyu!
