a year and a half in the making – well, spiritually at least – the air jordan ep soundtracks a 2010 roadtrip through a captivating country, just before the instant rush that became last years fever album and subsequent when in doubt label launch. based on field recordings taken in various bustling city centres, rugged desert landscapes, peaceful cornfields, lively amphitheatres, abandoned villages and ancient temples, the ep’s four tracks capture glimpses of jordans stark and desolated scenery as well as its warm and vivid spirit, channelled and reinterpreted through a simple recording device and a sampler. we hope you enjoy the results as much as we enjoyed travelling.

07.03.12
imugem orihasam, offers a deep and introspective relation ep continuing the sistrum tradition of quality underground sounds for the true appreciators. track a1 - relation sets the tone right away, with soothing strings guiding a classic rhythm section into hypnotic territory. slowly, a tapestry of delicate textures evolves around the beats - sure to be the soundtrack to many a late night dancefloor. close your eyes and get inside your mind with this one. track b1 - “mirage” continues down the path of hypnotic, deep techno laid out on relation, toughening up the beats just a bit, with a subby kick and crisp back beat that gives it some extra punch. swirling, phasing strings and metallic, ring modulated tones float above a sub bassline that is sure to make things rumble. this is pure love from japan. track b2 - overlap lights (p. scott edit) - sistrum’s main man, patrice scott, steps in to offer his interpretation of imugem’s “overlap lights,” bringing forth his signature ultra deep, slow building future/classic detroit sound. patrice’s edit is a warm, delicate, masterful arrangement of imugem’s tones and textures - there never seems to be too much going on, just enough to convey his intended message, ever-so-effectively. clutter is left by the wayside and the listener is left with the perfect palette of sonic delights.

12 Inch
13.02.12
after some time spent entertaining from distant lands, the circus company brings it all back home with a release purposefully written to pay tribute to the breeding ground for their unique strain of house music, paris. seuil stands proud as one of her most cherished creations, a man ever evolving as an artist from the structure and function of minimalist dancefloor music through to the esoteric expression and ambience of jazz, channelling that same swinging spirit that has characterised much of the work on circus company. the release of his -chamaeleonidae- album proved to the world that there was a strange musical spirit in seuil that manifested itself in live drums and languid keys, character traits you could associate with his fellow parisians dop. the collaborations between them have been many in recent years, and once again they come together to both complement and test each others styles in a surprising vision of what pop music could sound like if crafted with soul and imagination. the beats stay tight and steady throughout the three tracks that make up -fluctuat nec mergitur-, driving a foggy brew of strings, synths and drones into a commanding groove. meanwhile the composition gently rises and falls on waves of melody, as particular harmonies swell in to carry you away to a very blue kind of euphoria. such drama and passion captures the essence of both seuil and his beloved city in one heady brew of dancefloor excellence.

coinciding with a hot new video and an upcoming album re-release courtesy of island records, turbo weighs in with heavyweight remix support from label bossmaster tiga and russian rave-czar proxy.
tigas mix gets reckless with your ears with a versatile after-hours jam. it packs a bassy punch but keeps its head down in the lifestyle k-hole, exercising restraint while showing off a mature and developed sexuality.
proxy turns in a bumping, hip-hop influenced mix, with old-skool cowbells, crushed claps and a sh-101 lead guaranteed to make heads bob til they cant bob no more. this is probably the only time azari & iii will ever be used to start a mosh, at least until society does some much-needed growing up.

when no one is watching ramona, is usually listening to future times records and beautiful swimmers all days. maxmillion dunbar is not only half of those aquanauts, but also running the label and releasing music as max(million) d(unbar). what a guy! hanging out in the vague territory between slow-motion house with a hip hop feeling or dubby and dubious fun music, his melodious approach is extremely hard to categorize but all the more enjoyable. >polo< already saw the light of day on >max trax for world peace<, but ramonas favorite dj ata and live at robert johnson manager oliver hafenbauer were so much in love with the bleepy bonbon that they offered it a place by their fireside. now cautiously modified, fine-tuned and extended for its label home, its a rainforest serenade for beatnik boys and girls, with all the ingredients you want from tha d. the only kid able to thrown down the gauntlet in front of maxi is frankfurts melody man phillip lauer (arto mwambe, brontosaurus, etcetera etcetera). turning >polo< into one of his trademark sluggish bass line barrage tracks with falsetto synths and sharp snares. get your vogue brogue out.

Live At Robert Johnson
the new leena welcomes an artist who rise through the ranks of the dj elite has been swift, purposeful and striking. starting out as a promoter and label manager, nicole moudaber booked huge acts for her soundworx nights at londons legendary turnmills club alongside running southeast recordings, but it wasnt long before she started to produce herself. flawlessly carving out her very own edgy house and tough, soulful techno sound, her music was instantly picked up by the worlds leading tastemakers including carl cox, john digweed and pete tong. a residency in ibiza playing alongside carl cox at his weekly night followed, as well as requests for guest mixes on both his and john digweeds internationally syndicated radio shows. her releases have received just as much praise as her dj performances.
