twenty-eight homespun stunners from the alamo city s scrappiest souleros. the royal jesters were the kings of san antonio s cross-cultural teen scene in the 1960s, soundtracking lovelorn slow dances with their heart-sick harmonies. for the first time, english oldies gathers the best early doo-wop, r&b, and blazing latin rock and soul from these tex-mex masterminds - a simmering melting pot of diverse regional flavors, best served hot.

debut single for this hi-tech low-life straight from the slums of hong kong. the music of scott young is much like the city itself, intense and claustrophobic on one hand, dreamy and cinematic on the other. these tracks were made in what he calls the spaceshuttle energized by late night noodles under the shimmering neon signs.

head-honcho adam beyer delivers the next drumcode release following a monumental year from the techno heavyweight. two singles on the drumcode a-sides compilations, a multitude of releases on different labels, a 7 hour live broadcast from awakenings festival, 10 shows in ibiza for carl cox, cocoon and enter as well as an incredibly busy show circuit across the world. coming up there are a multitude of drumcode parties around the world including festival stages at major festivals and other high profile events. adam beyer is back on drumcode with an impressive array of tracks that will get the senses tingling and shows us what drumcode is all about. these 4 tracks are deep and almost melancholic in their approach to techno, using effects to really help enforce an ambience only beyer can achieve within his productions. the under lying throbbing of the drums drives this ep into the forefront of the heads down drumcode sound and have been heard in many of beyer s phenomenal sets throughout the year.

tangible assets returns with its fourth release in the series by label owner stojche. an outlet that’s given the berlin based producer the freedom to explore and distill his trademark dubbed out detroit fueled productions. asset 04 follows on from three previous releases and opens its account with ‘payback’. a dubbed out affair that’s firmly grounded in a powerful groove. stojche sets about reinforcing his strengths in composing a surgically laden foundation with precision placement of 909 toms, panned snares and staggered kick drums that proceed into razor sharp hats, blooming into subtle delayed pads which are further lifted by emotive and colourful chords. payback’s true charm lies in its ability to capture an honesty and sincerity that’s as captivating as it is transcendent.“tunnel’ continues where ‘payback’ left off and leads in with a booming cavernous kick drum, diving directly deep into a wonderland of mysticism, an effortless trademark that’s clearly evident within all of stojche’s productions. rich swirling pads rise and sit happily beside cleverly programmed melodic keys that tease in out of the mix, directly complementing the main elements of its structure. if anything, ‘sinister alley’ should be further proof of the macedonian born producer’s maturity in exploring the outer worldly and broken beat time signatures. his approach in creating both depth and enchantment is both pragmatic and effective. beautifully deep, undulating and atmospheric. ‘sinister alley’ opens with an airy signal that captivates upon overture. combining quintessential snares, a series of rapid fire hats that are anchored by an analog baseline, he sets about creating hypnotism with layers of atmospheric suspense, while fluttering waves of electronic circuitry waver in the distance. a multitude of pads and textures combine to create an ethereal feel and harmonic cloud to float within. tangible assets 004 is far more than just another chapter in stojche’s musical journey and much more than just another release on his label. it’s further evidence and development in a sound that truly captures the essence of the man behind these tracks. an ethos he’s been exploring for quite some time, catalyzing imagination and furtherance that’s beyond tangible.

after the killer debut, money sex returns with another jaw-droppingly good selection, this time from imyrmind. another triumphant tapestry of sample sources, reinvented and ramped up into an effortlessly effective 6 pack. these guys are untouchable right now - accept no substitute!

brack, the new imprint from uk-born berlin-based producer bnjmn, is back in quick succession with another strong transmission from the label boss. after plunging into dirtier, darker sonic waters on the pitchfork-tipped brack001, chromed continues the descent. while the propulsive rhythms and skilfully stacked samples remain intact, these 4 tracks are imbued with subtler elements that become more apparent with repeated listens. drums don’t just bang, they scrape, stab and shudder, and the typically mesmeric synth-lines are swathed in analogue hiss and seething low-end. idiosyncratic aural details have always been a specialty of the young producer, but here they rise to the fore. the rapidly flourishing sound world that is brack comes more into focus, and it appears it is even more intricate and musically rich than on first glance.

galcher lustwerks second release on his own lustwerk music imprint presents more tracks off the revered blowing up the workshop promo mix, 100% galcher, as well as a bonus dub of the title track. these murky, chugging club anthems continue lustwerk s tradition of menacing synths, hard hitting percussion and smokey hip hop vocals.

over 10.000 years ago, after the last ice age, humans began to explore and settle the place now known as scotland. evidence of our ancestors can be found in the various rock carvings, standing stones, tombs and dwellings still scattered throughout the lands today. modern archaeological techniques can offer ever more detailed suggestions as to what these monuments might have meant, but it is still largely left to our imaginations to discern just what these spaces were used for.

elusive records keeps growing, thanks to our beloved artists, supporters, and the universe. putting quality first and bringing you the finest of the world’s underground, since 2008. information ghetto (3rd wave, get physical, multi vitamins, pro-tez,) makes his second appearance on elusive, once again proudly exhibiting his rich, distinctive, layered sound, with what is probably the most melodic track on this record. joining him, are two no less exciting finds. andrey burtaev (aka electrosoul system, kos.mos.music, highway records) is shining light at his space-dub project with mega secret weapon dub over moscow, and berliner sebastian albrecht (park recordings) is taking it towards his highly-infectious, precision hi-tech sound. watch out for these guys eps in the nearest future!

dear wanderer, ramona is happy to present the video dead, chinaski s debut-­ep for live at robert johnson. originally hailing from the high north of germany, rostock near the rough and stormy sea, the young man with interests in 80s video-­aesthetics and vintage synthesizers is now calling offenbach his home­turf. chinaskis ep starts out with time to kill, a straight forward hypnotizing jacker directly heading to the synthesized happiness. midnight workout features a different side to the young talent sensitive placed synth harmonies packed in a vintage-­pop interlude. after a journey through more harmonious domains, night school turns the page again and picks up on those synth-waves and put ramona away from her calm drive through the midnight heat, right on the dancefloor mesmerizing analogue deep housevibes all over the place.hide society steps out of context and mixes chinaskis affection for the warmth of these marvelous synth-­sounds with trippy post-­breaking or even proto-­hiphop sounds topped off with a weird vocal sample. the title­track the video dead summons all emotional power ramona could implant into a synthesizer, the heartbeat like reduced kick-­drum and hihats floating around the track are mostly incidental or not even there for the ears. purely visual.

this compilation comes on four lp s with a total of sixteen tracks. more than twenty artists in the electronic music scene surrounding the neustadtmusik label participated on this project. new artist collaborations were formed, knowledge exchanged and experiments tried. these sixteen tracks are as diverse and interesting as they are to us a valuable outcome of the project. from chillout to rather straight techno, there is a wide variety of electronic music styles represented on the lp s. hence it is worth to take a listen to that compilation for all lovers of electronic music.

two pieces of snarling filter house from nyc heavyweights robbie busch aka dj mcboing boing - record dealer to the stars, digger extraordinaire, & dj of sweaty underground parties around the world, and josh dunn - one part of the sorely missed 100 limousines, and one third of the holy trinity that put on new york s legendary foreal people party. for two guys so deeply immersed in the rich history of urban dance music, from the blues & gospel through deep disco, soul, chicago and detroit sounds, you could be forgiven for expecting to hear a rich homage to the sounds of the past. instead we get the future ghost of ron hardy playing the record backwards on a janky turntable with a quarter for a counterweight and fucking shit up in every conceivable way. these two are chiefly concerned with moving things forward, having some fun, and taking no prisoners along the way. golf channel every time !

washerman who is steadily proving his outstanding craft since many years, delivers yet another uncompromising oldskool house cut to shake the floors worldwide. slightly ravey with a bouncing acid bassline riding on a driving beat: a sure play. crowdpleasers remix refers to an end of 80s / beginning of 90s house music style by using retro drummachine sounds and a prominently mixed hypnotic synth melody, which both somehow remind us of old david cronenberg movies. crowdpleaser is an experienced cat and a long time contributor to genevas cultural dance music diversity. he has co-produced the critically acclaimed album *2006* with st plomb and has released many on-the-point tracks ever since. emerging from st plombs debut album country city country, these two remixes almost desperately have been waiting to see the light (on a 10 inch vinyl release!). we think: these two remixes make another swiss crop-of-the-house release!

limited to 300 copies only.

athens of the north presents two of the disco floaters from our previously unreleased aotnlp original friends and buddies, both of these versions are on 45 for the first time. the stripped down version of silence that you keep benefits from the more direct tight vocal. without the synths there is much more space in the mix which suits the melancholy deep disco groove so much better. on the flip po man has also been stripped right back to its more basic elements also for the better, less is so much more.

very limited 250 run on 180g vinyl in printed sleeve with hand stamped centre labels.
a new vinyl record label founded and run by long time birmingham based producer & dj, etym. the label initially serves as an output for self-penned productions focussing on techno in its many guises. st001 - trial 01 is the first release and is a four track ep. taking in a broad ranging musical spectrum, these tracks range from the dubby, sinister edge of 01.1 and heavy 4x4 rhythm of 01.3, right through to the more melodic sounds of the 909 led workout 01.2 and the swelling juno pads of last track 01.4. all tracks created using hardware synths, drum machines and field recordings.

the second installment of uzuri’s “the wilderness sessions” delivers 3 tracks geared towards the refined dancers and listeners of the world. the idea here is slow burning broken beat tracks infused with the soul of jazz and funk. the ep opens with fox ‘n hound, a slightly menacing and equally sexy jam which ebbs and flows with a delightfully funky bass line and enough melodic accents to keep full attention. the secret here is in the details which are craft-fully manipulated by this talented duo. futonjam continues the trend of beautifully unfolding composition with its shuffled percussion and gracefully evolving melodies. a perfect track for home listening and for those deep sultry moments on the dance floor. the crown jewel of this release is certainly the near 9 minute odyssey that is zukunft/ silber. a track which entertains and pushes towards a sophisticated style which is undeniably unique in approach. using broken patterns as a back drop for beautifully orchestrated strings, micro flutes and longing horns it transforms from a sweet and delicate sound to something more demanding of our bodies movement. this release will be sure to mark the beginning of what we can expect from these two producers who clearly aim to set themselves apart from the crowd.

ben cohens *voyage to rahoz* is dappled with esoteric references invoking the hazy contours of the ever mystical inner zones. it delves gracefully into these realms with the opener *momentum*, which gives way to the mind-expanding workout that is *acid dreams*, a proper luscious piece. on the b-side, *play with humanity* is built around elastic percussive elements and an enigmatic looped-voice. the final cut is an adroit, if not buoyant, rework by the moscow’s top producer anton zap.

this release captures kicks, rhythms, and snares—only to drag them kicking and screaming into a metallic underworld. in j. tijn’s echo-sphere, there are only allusions to the status quo of sound and beats, and never a full-fledged embrace of the conventional. on side a’s “kanon v.i.p.” a grizzly digital war is left to play out between both kick and snare, with grainy battle lines drawn around upbeat and downbeat. survivors of the conflict are rewarded with a groove reminiscent of grime, if only the genre had been reborn in a dystopian future. side b opens with a roughneck beat on “mor” before turning its hand into a fist and effectively destroying its own image. the groove lives through this barrage of sound, but as a heavy and dark undercurrent just strong enough to remind you where j.tijn’s roots are. “shy” lures you in with a rounded electro kick, before glutting the rhythm and ushering in a wall of sound. a snowstorm of screaming drum samples proceed to surround you: you may have been here before, but you are somewhere rhythmically unseen. embedded in all of these tracks are perhaps a sign of the times: the things that used to be seen as normal have now changed and mutated.

scandinavian man of mystery tom of finland, once known as one of the most influential erotic visual artists of the 20th century, now shows his prowess for sexy edits on his first outing for razor-n-tape. a quartet of disco heaters, slow burners, and summer anthems comprise this tight little package, so assume the position cuz these 12 inches are going deep in ya!

beau wanzer and dan jugel are juzer. making their first appearance on nyc s corner label, juzer now see a release on italian outpost dog in the night. here we get three tracks of no holds barred mid-90s rz-1 techno somewhere in between dbx ot jack master era hawtin. complete and effective mixing tools, dry claps and all these cuts are sure to work the crowd into a frenzy. recommended.

it’s not often that a breakthrough producer manages to cause major hype after just one release but when that artist is from the uk, putting out a brilliant ep on moodymann’s mahogani music, you start to realize how it happened in dan shake’s case. now its time for dan to build on this incredible start and from the way things are looking it’s safe to say it’s all going in the right direction. another rising star from the uk is wolf music regular medlar who has been making serious waves the last 5 years. remixes for the likes of glenn astro and disclosure have all helped put him in the spotlight and his debut lp sleep from 2013 delivered in spades. so when the news that these two were joining forces for a collaborative project reached us here at d.o.g we wanted in on the action.

in wonderful thuringia in eastern germany (nearby gotha) a group of culture-enthusiasts run a 3-day festival every summer off the beaten festival track and far away from pr hustle and bust- le out in the woods. at this cucuma festival art and culture is played out in an utopian athmosphere that reminds of a peace- ful island. artists and audience sense a common party-vibe while being embedded in a scenic nature, that is attended by passion for detail. these individuate the festival to an intimate experience, one cant encounter anywhere else

where his previous effort, 2014s *the hollow organ*, dealt in dense, distressed sonics, *olympic mess* is younger responding to a period spent engaged with loop-based industrial music, dub techno, and balearic disco. these musical references, all of which can induce hypnotic states and feelings of euphoria, inform ten evocative aural landscapes which unfurl over the course of an hour and act almost as a counterpoint to the turmoil that spawned them.

vinyl only - one press

slowmotion is born from a collaboration between hakim murphy and vince noog. noog has been rocking more on the techno tip over the years with releases on his label, but when the collaboration took place, beat-down feels appeared causing some house jams to develop. the ep is called beats from lugdunum, but why? lugdunum is the old school name for lyon and the surrounding areas, and these tunes were conceptualized, composed, and beated right there.

what if you never sleep? sally rodgers (a man called adam) has written these few words, that anyone can imagine his own night story on. the 2 french boys patrick vidal (marie et les garçons) and laurent caligaris (working withterrence parker, enola, scan x) get the balance rigth for a nigth walking closed to art dep. iconic honey dijon (classic, ny) delivers a pure old school chicagos style remix as oskar offermann (white/hardmoon, berlin) goes step by step into a beautifull rythmic, melodic, hypnotic remix.

pittsburgh track authority return with a new single-sided limited edition edits record on the imprint that bears only their own logo. “i always wanted to be in a band” kicks things off in an early 70s soul jazz style, with infectious vocals and catchy horns doing the damage. next, a flute driven cover of the dance classic “lowdown” keeps the disco-funk vibes of the original but with added springtime/summer vibes. both of these have done damage for pta at their gigs, and now they can do damage for you at yours. a fitting end to the magenta logo series!
