philippe quenum returns to cadenza music with ‘solitaire’, some thirteen years after helping kick start the swiss label with the 2003 release ‘orange mistake’/ funky dandy’. this groundbreaking single, co-produced with luciano, has since become a landmark release, not just for the label, but also as the benchmark for the micro-house and minimal tech-house genre that developed over the decade. with a music career than spans back to the mid-80s (dancing in nyc as part of the breakdance troupe, the magnificent force), quenum found his forte with house music, both as a dj, and as a producer and label owner. setting up the access 58 label in 1998 as a platform for his music and collaborations, quenum has consistently released over the years for labels like crosstown rebels, soma, alphahouse, thema and trapez ltd. ‘solitaire’ finds quenum on fine form, on the lead track, dubby fx and bass shaking shots roll out over an urgent disco beat, muted brass and technoid stabs fire from all directions as the tension building pads flourish. shadowy forces are at play on ‘mystic’, discordant sounds echo and bellow over reverberating percussion and a dense back beat that fire into life with shuffling hi-hats. wrapping up this welcome return to the label is ‘mystery’, whipping snares and industrial clangs rumble over the urgent drums for more hypnotizing dancefloor work from philippe!

i was deep in texas when a call came through... -hey man it s cherry ! ...we got some sick new shit for you, gonna blow your mind- i waited nervously for the package. it arrived two weeks later. i slipped the hot black acetate from its wrapper and placed it on the turntable... wired guitars wail like banshees on heat, primal beats erupt drenched in dark juice from roots of trees slick with crunk. flutes and bells hang like exotic flowers that reek of jungle sex and all night long the pulse goes on and on and on as usual cherry was right...this most surely is one sick motherfucker of a record. don t get me wrong there s warped beauty here aplenty but you gotta take it easy. don t ingest it all at once...make sure you re in comfortable surroundings, trust me i know...six months later and i m still feeling the burn. damn you cherry garcia.

cyclo is relaunching with an absolute classic track from its extensive back catalogue. produced by derrick carter & chris nazuka the chicago house classic rednail kidz -do my thing- was an underground smash when it was first released at the end of the 90 s. clubs nights such as space at bar rhumba rocked hard to the incessant groove of this track. we have included a remastered original with 3 remixes: the nacho marco remix takes -do my thing- into big room territory. nacho works closely with roland and on this remix you can witness big 303 lines and huge bass that will rock most discerning floors. hallo halo (jon dasilva & jonas nilsson) remix the track superbly and add their trademark warm tech sound. mystic bill creates a stunning, deep, chicago inspired, sonic journey of a remix where less is, most certainly, more. we hope you will enjoy these tracks as much as we are!

endlec is a project already appeared on label as mord, authentic pew and panel trax. he came on the old and youngs family with a powerful ep composed by three tracks that cross 90s rave sound and new dark techno. dirty vocal samples and acid lines are the elements that describe the release. in few words... this is techno!

high quality virgin vinyl - incl dl code, melbourne-based producer andras fox (a.r.t. wilson) creates a tactile and unique form of antipodean funk that feels equally informed by garage house and new age musical traditions. his productions sound appropriate on both the dance floor and in the lounge, boasting a casual danceability and mood that seamlessly adapts to both environs. on vibrate on silent, wilson creates g-funk with a surf sensibility, congas, shakers, electro-acoustic melodies coalesce with deep grooves, subtle hooks and a laid-back, oceanic ambience.

its time for phonogramme to explore different styles and releasing one of its most successful project ! from france, kris tidjan composes music layers in the high sphere of soul jazz. playing most instruments by himself and singing, he also presents music live with musicians. on his first ep floating therapy he comes with feel the love & mystic bantu trip, african music accents & a strong rare groove touch, mastercut oriented under the supervision of professor inc. a1 featuring fela kuti s accent with an additional sax played by christian rodenberg while a2 reaches a 11:11 timing with peacefulness and aerial feeling.on the other side we go deeper into the artist s influences, ethnic vocals melted with tidjans * son of the sun* beautiful refrain & meimouna coffi at vocal chorus, some soul jazz broken beat like we rarely hear today, very strong and contributing to the genre greatly, * shining from the deep space*. for the b2 professor inc brings you a remix of feel the love in two part with a soulful vibe and deep house touch in the spirit of what he has already done for the label before.

the extended project *inversion* follows his three track release *sleepwalkers* in 2013 and *timelines* in 2014. om unit was schooled via metalheadz. although he earned his stripes via hip hop as dj 2tall it was breakbeat-hardcore and jungle that shaped his attitude towards electronic music and the ferocious trail blazing of the metalheadz crew was an undoubted inspiration. thus it makes perfect sense that his take on this sound, his contribution to moving this sound forward comes via metalheadz. the sonic nature of the project is rooted in london, chicago and detroit- drums, subs and textures.

groovin hypnotic tech house / house
limited edition, handstamped, 300 vinyls only. entlet brings up the spirit of the ancient paraguayan tribe enxet. for the past twenty years, we have been delighted to discover shrewdly on the dancefloors his capacity to develop such a bestial jungle and magnificent rituals. he produced this trilogy with cosmic tones in the vein of the other label releases, an appeal to the collective trance and an evocation of the festive traditions that have transcended the past centuries. after countless epic adventures on the drum’n’bass scene, he has performed and produced mainly house and techno tracks. the echoes of his live appearances often reverberate long after the following day. some people say that he has the ability to pay a superhuman attention to the sound. through mystic condor, you will rise towards a joyful and powerful hypnotic state of mind. the feathered serpent will delicately bring you in an extraordinary journey. tramontina is a groovy and spatial evocation, an atmosphere deserving mr. fritz lang s movie. all the sounds progress constantly towards the highest level, like the sun. night new world is the most chill-out piece of this release, everything stretches and calms down, but never forget the whip lash.

hailing from bari, nico lahs has become a beloved member of the stock5 family. on the latest instalment of the label that guy blesses us with his runway ep. but don’t mix up the title with some anorexic chicks that stumble along the catwalk heidi klum sent ‘em on. if there is one direction, it would lead straight into a planetary orbit. the opener “shreder” sets the pace and mood, a decent composition of pulsating synths, a vibrating bass line and a whispering voice, telling us to fasten our seatbelt because our next stop is going to be “orion”. actually this is in one of the biggest astral objects having been discovered yet. nico takes us there on his spaced out trip, while we are watching stars being born and dying in super novas. on the flip we’re finally approaching “runway” the title track. dive into a world that is undiscovered, promising and overwhelming. all in all this ep is way more than “mystic”, which is the last track. we left our planet as humans and we landed as androids in stock5 galaxy, which is ever expanding, crossing boundaries and creating new life on the universal dance floor.

disco classic from legendary french producer cerrone, inluding a remix by his son greg.

during off map excursions seahawks encounter the woo tribe, legendary creators of celestial tones. via mind-meld the two groups merge and blur to create two eleven minute plus journeys that explore the outer reaches of mystic disco, warped house and psychoactive boogie. drenched in delay and smeared with hazed reflections of a thousand birds lost in a tropical jungle mist, the results leave you fazed, stunned and overflowing with euphoric intent. designed with the most creative dance floors in mind, both journeys are deep, disorientating and empowering. this release is in league with the wonderful emotional rescue label whose recent re-release of woos *whichever way you are going, you are going wrong* album has brought so much joy to the world. swim on forever.

rezkars fascination with music began with his parents record collection. listening to local radio stations as a child, he heard 80s tracks. as an adult he discovered the magic of 60s and 70s jazz and funk. one day, his cousin played a track that he immediately fell in love with. he later learned that this was house music. he discovered the fruity loops sequencer software and thought, why not try to make my own tracks, after all, it cant really be that hard? deep house can sound deceptively simple. its a bit like japanese anime, rezkar says. it looks so cute and easy to draw, but try to actually draw it, and you will discover its even harder than realistic drawings. the thing about house is that if you try too hard it can come across as being very cheesy, but then again, if you dont do enough it can sound incomplete. finding the balance is not easy, rezkar admits. after hearing his music, one finds that he is learning this lesson quite well.
