number 3 on ruff draft comes from louis guilliaume. having met louis back in 2009 and followed his music since way before then, it was an exciting day when we received these tracks from him. known more for his harder edge techno productions on labels such as soundtravels, bio rhythm holland, teng, sd holland and a remix on skudge, here he edges slightly away from that harder sound. the tracks vary from deep, groovy and meandering house to a beatless soundscape reminiscent of early larkin and pullen to a powerful kick drum driven sermon.

nrbq sind die mutter aller eklektizismus-bands. schon auf ihrem 1969er debüt-album coverten sie sun ra, spielten eddie cochran-rock & roll und komponierten die tollsten popsongs, was yo la tengo, bonnie raitt, paul mccartney, elvis costello oder den chefnörgler keith richards zu ihren größten fans gemacht hat. sie sind die ewige lieblingsband vom drehbuchautor marc scully, was sie zur wohl unbekanntesten band macht, die jemals bei den simpsons einen auftritt hatte. was aber auch dazu führte, das sponge bob schwammkopf immer wieder ihre lieder sang. aus der original-quartett ist leider nur noch keyboarder und sänger terry adams übrig, aber die aktuelle besetzung, die seit nunmehr 8 jahren zusammen spielt lässt für eingefleischte nrbq fans keinen wunsch offen. das neue album „brass tacks“ zeigt nrbq in ihrer ganzen prächtigen vielfalt. das berliner label staatsakt, das auch zum kreis der großen nrbq-fans gehört, ist sehr glücklich, sich in deutschland um die vermarktung und promotion für -brass tacks- zu kümmern.

bulletdodges next instalment comes from us producer sean ray, delivering a single called deep 454 with 3 superb remixes from mgun, space djz & mr o and gareth whitehead. seans original track is a deep affair, heralding sparkling pads and grooving percussion. the track is cemented by a dark yet infectious piano riff and soulful bassline to make it a dancefloor classic. first up on remix duties is ur’s very own newcomer mgun. mgun has been taking the scene by storm lately with his incredible productions and his take on sean’s deep 454 is no exception. for this remix he has provided us with a detroit infused gem of a track. he has used soulful pads that eminate detroit and an upfront kick to create nothing short of a masterpiece. for the next remix we have an exciting collaboration between techno stalwarts space djz and one half of the detroit grand pubha’s mr o. their joint venture has produced a deep techno monster. it has a solid bassline and hypnotic use of the pads that shouts out 5am madness. lastly to remix deep 454 is bulletdodge’s head honcho gareth whitehead who has created a more old school stripped back deep house vibe. his tight drum programming and clever usage of the original tracks pads and piano riff rounds this perfect package off very nicely. supported so far by audio injection, colin dale, craig richards, dj deep, gary beck, paul mac, pig & dan, samuel l. session, sasha carassi, skream, slam, tom hades and vince watson plus many more!!!

after a brief hiatus church are back with a debut offering of original material from apes. the a side *two thousand six* is a straight up techno work out, having been tried and tested this track is aimed directly at the dance floor. chaos in the cbd are on board for the remix taking us on a journey of warm, deep, subtle analogue house fresh off the back of their stand out track *78 to stanley bay*. the b side *cold love* goes some way to show apes’ versatility as a producer, it’s a nostalgic piece of work, with a pulsating bass-line driving through the track along with intricate percussion and a choice vocal sample to round things off. cold love is equally suited for the club or for home listening. apes right hand man seb wildblood takes the track in a slightly different direction, using elements of the percussion and transforming the vocal sample for a delightful melodic contribution to the ep. early support from paul woolford, breach, ben pearce, dusky, alexander nut & more.

as a precursor to kabale und liebes debut album, soweso records releases the sammy hoboken ep in april as a teaser of whats to come. almost 20 years ago, liron van daalen was inspired to become a dj after his cousin explained that the mixtapes liron adored were created by one person seamlessly mixing one record into another. that revelation set off a chain of events that has seen him adopt the alias kabale und liebe and rise up to become one of hollands most exciting and reputable electronic music artists.

talk about saving the best until last. if you thought that the first two parts of awanto 3s opel mantra trilogy were good, just wait until you hear part 3. it delivers a brilliantly breathless conclusion to what could well be one of the strongest debut albums of 2014. by now, you should know the script. amsterdam producer steven van hulle has previously shown glimpses of his musical talents, either with sporadic solo productions (see his superb 2010 debut on rush hour, for five), or alongside friends from the dutch scene (san proper, young marco and tom trago, in particular). opel mantra, a debut album split across three 12 inch singles (a cd version will follow later in the year), is his big reveal – our first chance to wallow in his unique and thrilling fusions of deep house, detroit techno and a multitude of vivid global influences.

the 9th vinyl release is here and we re very glad that, after a long time, we finally have the noisemaker back on the label. and this time on wax. the noisemaker, new label / agency regular member, has putted all of his finesse in 4 new outstanding productions. this new ep is an experience with various feelings emerging from the different moods of the tracks. sometimes it goes on with broken beats, sometimes it is just straight and it always comes with hypnotic, tripping raw and acid synthetizers, entertaining rythmics, all wrapped in dark atmospheres. the ep is supported by a high quality remix from american techno legend paul birken that delivered a real cutting edge rework of the original track -processing-. more than a remix, we could call it a reinterpretation. paul s very own flow is immediately hitting with patterns running crazy and an intense energy which is raised by heavy bass drums and slashing percs.

2x12 inch lp in gatefold sleeve, including cd-copy of the album.
a few years ago, a-trak got together with the pioneering house/garage producer armand van helden to form the playful dance duo duck sauce, and they quickly scored a vast international hit with *barbra streisand*. now, nearly four years after that song landed, they are finally ready to release *quack*, their giddy and engaging debut album, which features singles like *radio stereo*, *it s you*, and, yes, *barbra streisand*. the album is not a typical dance album but a whole lot of fun: quack pushes the boundaries of house music and sampling into an absurdly visual listening experience, interwoven with skits, scratching and irresistible loops.

last summer, you could barely escape the wide-eyed charms of *late train*, the epic second single from paul murphy and quinn lukes all-star balearic rock outfit. following its release on claremont 56 last may, the song became the soundtrack to sweltering afternoons by the mediterranean and lazy boat parties in the adriatic. 10 months on, the blissfully baggy original is given a new lease of life thanks to a swathe of new remixes.

paul roses scuba project has seen him make some of the most pertinent and exciting music of the past few years, and through his legendary hotflush imprint he continues to push innovative, exploratory new club music in every way he sees fit. this is a collection of tracks exploring his rich and diverse back catalogue, scuba enjoyed a remarkable 2013. now back with phenix 1, his first new material since 2012s acclaimed hardbody single, expect him to enjoy an equally successful year this time around.
