>the truth about love< by p!nk on black double 12 inch vinyl.

we wish there were more moments like the ones that madis ones new 12 inch, in the image (blnk-27), brought to mind. >the hotness< is just that, a mechanical, bass driven, hip-hop cut while >the abyss< recalls the days when the amen break and substance reigned over celebrity status. available on 12 inch vinyl, cut at 45 rpm. we recommend trying these out at 33 rpm as well!

paper recordings continue their journey back to plastic with another vinyl release once again proving why they remain one of uks best loved labels. jamie l is a mysterious figure of undisclosed origin and history who fits in to the moodymann / theo parrish mold of heavy future disco, which his new production >(what we saw) in the burg< nails. it is a heavy leftfield groove laid over broken house beats with a filtered bass, samples and leftfield vibe. the detroit pad creeps up to the break and filters in and out as the track works its way through for locked down dance floor business. next up, havana candy breaks out the analogue and takes things deeper and techier. with a rolling bass and tweaking acid line, it cuts to a rhodes before filtering down and riding back to the heads down groove. cottam steps up for paper for the first time and demonstrates what all the fuss is about with a very special mix. clocking in at 9.41 it is deep, tough soulful house that crosses the 4/4 divide from techno to disco and deep house to soul.

based out of nyc, profound audio is one of americas leading labels for seriously heavyweight bass music.

flying lotus alben sind für metaphysiker puzzleteile auf dem weg zur weltformel und für normalhörer grandiose geistererscheinungen. sein neues werk, eine kollage aus mystischen zuständen, träumen und schlafliedern, wirkt wie eine nachtreise. das aufeinanderprallen von kosmischen bassgewichten und computerisierten arrangements klingt musikalisch griffig wie nie zuvor, was auf eine beträchtliche entwicklung als produzent und komponist hindeutet, wie auch auf stets neu spriessende entwürfe von songfundamenten. bei der realisierung wirkten seine beiden gesangsmusen niki randa und laura darlington mit, thom yorke (radiohead) sowie die queen of leftfield r&b, erykah badu. flying lotus unternimmt seine intellektuellen sprünge, ohne dabei musikalische details wie das gewicht einer bassline oder den swing eines drumbeats zu vernachlässigen, so wie es viele master der soulmusik seit jahrzehnten vor ihm tun. >until the quiet comes< folgt dieser tradition, während es neue pfade für sich eröffnet - eine kombination, die einen wahren klassiker ausmacht!

big with:ernesto ferreyra, the mole, akufen, vincent lemeuix.. inspired by classic disco and electro, dkmd have already produced several dance music tracks, using old and new technology in order to come up with a unique sound which pays homage to their predecessors without sounding pastiche. echoes of giorgio moroder and donna summer can be felt throughout on the other side, while the playful and sensual taxi cab recounts the familiar story of an early morning phone call received by a girl in a cab, on her way home from a pleasurable night out. perhaps it is their experience playing together as improvisers that adds a special touch to their dance music,as they have grown accustomed to perform almost every element in their tracks using hardware intruments and effect boxes.in addition to their disco project,the two have a considerable track record as experimentalists and the dark,cosmic and mysterious androide is a good example of some of their output in the genre.even though dkmd are only at the beginning of their dancefloor adventures,they show no signs of stopping,and when asked what comes next,they will likely answer

the byrds were one of the earliest groups who could combine the best of two worlds. they caught on to the energy of the british invasion and combined it with the lyricism & musical elements of the contemporary folk movement.
along the way they pioneered psychedelic and country rock, always keeping things recognizable with their vocal harmonies accompanied by their jangly guitars.
on their third album >fifth dimension< from 1966 they started showing a more lsd-tinged side of themselves with the psychedelic rock of songs such as >eight miles high< and >i see you< and a preference for the indian raga.
one of their most pioneering albums re-issued on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!
