steve bug drops a new outstanding 12inch on his own highly prolific poker flat recordings. those grooves is the perfect primer for his upcoming album (due out in autumn 2012), and sees the man in fine form - masterfully in control of his sound and producing tracks with a depth of dancefloor knowledge most other producers would die for. those grooves, the lead track locks into its exquisitely crafted groove early on, holding a taut balance between its individual elements. mid way through its 10 minutes, bug drops the tempo and lets the groove breath, before bringing it all back home - an audacious late night club weapon. the flip side is no less dramatic – tell me why creeps up, evolving slowing but surely – before an edgy, freaked out bass line drops over the crisp drums. a true peak time burner with enough energy and tension to smash any floor.

the ninth release from the mainrecords shop, on its eponymously titled label comes in the form of three tracks of slick late night electro from matt star, plus a remix from perseus traxx. with well over three dozen releases under his belt in one guise or another matt star aka mattias schildger is no stranger at all to production of high quality electronic music, as this latest ep clearly displays. happily blurring boundaries between house and electro, with its tight, crisp beats the release exudes a form of stripped back and honest late night cool with basses that bubble in a way sometimes reminiscent of ed dmx, while others lend more of a chicago feel accompanied by rolling toms. synth lines and arpeggiations cut in and out of subtle modulations giving the feel of anticipation one gets while tearing along the motorways of a city, late at night, the lights of the city and other vehicles brightly darting by, streaking and reflecting across the cars windscreen. perseus traxx delivers a subtle remix that remains true to the elements of the original and while adding a booming kick and some of his own production techniques, influences and grit to the mix, shows he isnt stuck in one genre or sound.

played and supported by luke slater, dvs1, laurent garnier, adam x, marcel fengler, samuli kemppi, inigo kennedy, jeroen search, truncate and more. asr is a record label with a strong inspiration in cosmology, physics and science fiction. with one foot in detroit and one in birmingham, asr is getting the techno in its original form beyond fads. we are believers in the true conception of electronic music as artistic expression and as message. our first release is also the first volume of the series vla, named in honor of the radio telescopes system in the very large array of new mexico (usa). radio transmission true to the sound of detroit and influenced by idm and the birmingham scene, radio trasmission presents a crude and analog sound, sometimes simple and sometimes twisted, synthesizing unconventional elements of the dancefloor with complex sounds and structures. the first track,grote reber, works around the omnipresent tr909 and the classic dx100 solid bass sound, building a powerful and effective track. in interferometry, a heavy and deep sub bass, leads the track around dub and post industrial ways. cyg x-1, is the only track that isnt 4x4, with noisy and punchy stabs all around, this works perfectly late in the night and in more uncommon sessions. the last track,vla is more melodic and relaxed. it is the perfect end for the whole record.

we are very proud and honered to release this ep by function aka dave sumner from sandwell district. one of technos true underground heroes, function (dave sumner) has been djing and making music for over 15 years. hailing from new york, he was seduced by techno music when jeff mills held a residency (as well as his own first) at the limelight in the early 90s. dave started to produce music and from the mid-90s onwards, put out music on damon wilds synewave and his own infrastructure imprint. together with regis (karl o connor) he worked as portion reform, putting out uncompromising music on downwards and becoming the only non-birmingham producer to release on the label. in 2008 dave moved to berlin, still working with regis, and now silent servant (john mendez), put his focus on the acclaimed sandwell district imprint. obsessed is a supper powerfull floating track for the dancefloor, a typical function production. this ep also contains remixes from substance and scb aka scuba, both peak-time tracks.

brill deep house licks…

owain k from wales is starting his new deeper techno and hi-tech soul project ktrl on 200 records. title track a1 >colonius< brings together brash filtered rhythms, towering chords, haunting melodies and pumping bass - a jam of epic proportions. followed by the smooth chords of >aufstieg< on a2, this deeply soul fuelled ride sweeps you to the next level. inspired by the classic sounds of lil louis, flipside b1 >bützchen< pays homage to a true school master with its warm embrace and layered melodies. finishing off in style, the old school vibes of b2 >offen< makes way for a slow bass driven groove that builds through dub influenced synth washes and filtered sweeps

astonishing album by mark du mosch, who delivers his first full length album on syncom data records and it s quite simply overwhelming. in a true detroit fashion mark du mosch rides that fine line between techno, house and disco. that line which guides you to the dancefloor as well as a higher musical and emotional level. with salmiak mark du mosch shows he s not only a great dj, but one of hollands finest producers as well. absolute techno house killer bomb. don t sleep on it.

bob dylans >love & theft< was a true return to form, his 30th studio album, with the unfortunate release date of september 11, 2001.
his voice is shot, but he sounds warmer, more relaxed, and old mr. grumpy is as good humoured as on >the basement tapes< (movlp 429). bob is in a wistful, elegiac, playful mood. he has recovered the humanity he lost on >time out of mind<, and is looking on life with loving eyes. he has thrown off the weight of life and is remembering a better self. and that makes this one of his more accessible albums, despite a lack of high-flying hit songs.
with beautiful printed inner sleeves and 180 grams audiophile vinyl, this is the first vinyl re-issue since 2001!

keeping up their ethos of dancefloor >edits with the love left in< hmd bounce back on a1 with monster from their 3rd compilation. never before released as a 12 inch and much in demand from djs who have heard it in hmd sets, its a whole horse meat disco original track laid out underneath the original vocal acapella. playable peak time or at the end of the night its as deep as disco gets! on b1 a majestic and imperial take on a classic one more time the hmders push the way too short original track and lengthen it into a luscious, euphoric anthem. hmd take all responsibility for end of the night spontaneous dancefloor hug-ins. on b2 the boys have taken the squelchy synths of a real underground track and turned up the intensity that they felt seem to disapated in the original. keeping the vocals pretty much as they are including all the whoops and yelps that make the track so exciting hmd have stayed true to the original but have just given it the horse meat touch. a bit of added percusion and a whole lotta love.

satoshi tomiie biggest hit was >tears<, a collaboration with frankie knuckles that was released on ffrr back in 1989. the release of the single was a ground breaking moment, at a time when the huge movement of house and techno was in its infancy. more than 20 years later and satoshi has just completed the building of his brand new studio in new york city. with his focus having been firmly on his dj touring for many years,interspersed with releases and remixes, its now time for the saw recordings boss to enjoy his very own new flight deck. straight up is a track that displays the true and original acid house sound! says systematic boss marc romboy of the first single to come out of tomiies studio. having immediately snapped up the tune for the label he called his good friend alex niggemann in berlin who, sharing his friends opinion and love of the track, spontaneously set about producing his own interpretation.

the time has come that berlin based techno producer and dj frank muller launch his new label mad musician. these days it requires some kind of madness to devote your live to music. but we are not mad entirely, we are the geeks, the gear nerds, the outcasted studio freaks who just heard about daylight. following a string of eps and remixes as his alter ego beroshima, the launch of his new label as frank muller was long overdue to focus on the new platform. it continues to break the stylistic frame defined by the market and yet manages to surpass the expectations set by these skilfully crafted productions. mad musician defy genre boundaries and incorporate a wide range of sonic colours. merging detroit influenced berlin techno with any kind of genre. exploring the electronic galaxy to invite other true musicians to join the mission and to cooperate, remix and to release the stuff we like. the first invited mad musician is none less than lord kirk degiorgio who recently released some awesome stuff on rush hour and planet e.are u mad enough?

cut mistake music was conceived somewhere between the day dream induced soundscapes of my bloody valentines loveless on the western seaboard of ireland and the haze filled manic energy of new york city dance floors. loosely associated with a collective of new york based musicians our aim is true and our message clear, we want to bring our landscapes to the ears of those who are willing to listen. this first release comes from the hearts & minds of the label founder cnnr (connor whiriskey) and good friends no regular play (nicholas debruyn & greg paulus).

for a short period in 1981 and with brand-new equipment such as roland 808, sh 101, gr 500, we made some 8-track just for fun jam tapes. mainly just to experiment for our own pleasure. from those sessions, only white horse made it to a final treatment. the rest of the material was left behind, as our record company at the time found it too different. after white horse being a track indeed defining our sound, we thought it would be interesting to dig out left-overs to fulfill a documentation of that period - crucial for us at the time. we were still innocent newcomers, without actually knowing to be creating a new sound! recently, that left-over material was transferred from analogue to digital and, to stay as true as possible to original intentions, we only added vocals, bass and drumbeats ahead of a final mix. we hope that you will enjoy listening to it. good vibes from laid back copenhagen 2012.

berlin based daniel dexter is part of the new breed of producers showing us why theres still mileage in the good old house groove. his cultured, expressive productions have the mark of a true talent and mr. dexter has only just begun. the acid-revival lives on.storm is a heavy, late night tale of sax, e-piano and stomping synth basslines. growing from a filtered intro, its song like structure drives us into true reckless abandon - perfect for the darker moments of the night, but still oozy with funk and soul. the thick, percussive opening bars of there will be jazz lead to a focus on one of dexters chosen weapons - more jazzy saxophone samples and synthesized strings lift us into a musical crescendo of tension, yet theres a laid back, new york vibe to the track, which will no doubt get plenty of plays this summer. the mysterious murder is a darker affair, shrouded in rave-era stabs and a real pushing vibe. its clear that daniel is a dextrous (no pun intended) producer with plenty of tricks up his sleeve

a rolling tech-house bomb with references to old chicago tracks, a true homage, listen and let the music speak for itself.

the 2 halves of zoovox, king ludd and night manager, split this 12 inch with 2 tracks each. beautiful neoteny is a fresh number with incredible synth work & is followed by the light-hearted bucket brigades. the sound of sound and squitty, meet squilly on the flip are true synth workouts!

patrice scott kicks off the 2012 release schedule in proper fashion with the orbital bliss ep - keeping the sistrum sound true and setting the tone for another year of quality output. we are treated to cool, smooth, futuristic cuts that pay tribute to the wonders of the cosmos. as always, the sounds are carefully crafted and slowly evolving, treating the listener to a refined palette of rhythm and melody suitable for the dancefloor and the living room, alike.

a - side: i love my lady (the black bahia version) ashley reworks an unreleased collaboration between chic and lounge legend johnny mathis. what ?!!!! this has summer anthem written all over it. beedle waves his magic wand over this future classic beach groove to create a joyful sing-a-long. b - side: addis ababa (afrikanz on marz kosmik rework ) ashley and his musical partner darren morris add their trippy aom vibes to this rare studio one classic to create an afro/reggae/drone/psychedelic monster. it pulls you in and does not let you out. this is an essential rework for all the true heads out there.

its been a while since we have seen a release from dfrnt for on the edge, but im proud to announce, the wait is finally over! this ep provides us with an abundance of different flavours, but still retains the genius sound that is dfrnt at the very core of every tune. let me first draw to your attention to >the big freeze<. its a drum and bass track that has been moulded like a true pro. it sounds like dfrnt has been producing d+b for a long time with the finishes on this track, but believe its one of his earlier efforts. its a refreshing bpm for his take on electronic music and hope to hear more of the same from dfrnt soon. then dfrnt shows us what he is all about when he goes all out 4x4. a dirty, gritty techno roller (with a skip) that will blow your socks off! love the production on this one. then we have >monday morning<. this does exactly what it says on the tin, just the type of tune you need to bring you down after a heavy weekend. as though that wasnt enough, there is a 170 remix from man of the moment, indigo! support comes from: hatti vatti, synkro, versa, mary ann hobbs, kissy sell out, fused forces, loxy, dj rum, 501 and truth to name a few.
