played and supported by chris liebing, dvs1, marcel fengler,inigo kennedy, bas mooy, oscar mulero, truncate, markus suckut and more.kike pravda presents his first release on his own label called senoid recordings, including a remix of ben sims. the vinyl starts with the track exalt.it includes a roland 909 very processed, aggressive and distorted sound until the end, accompanied by a sequence of a dark bassline and dynamic,which kike pravda takes it to the limit of its frequencies in constant evolution.a track that makes it the letter of introduction of senoid. in b side, ben sims remix scared to the most pure style of mr ben. hi-hats unstoppable, unmistakable grooves,giving back to the sounds of the original, essential for its most faithful followers.closes the record the original version of scared, a continuous arpeggio with an accompaniment of a 909 ride pure, brilliant, subtle.scared evolves from beginning to end, with touches of dark, analogic, atmospheres and glitches, which turns it into a space trip.

nice price deal !!! being in the same gene pool as pat sharpes hair is enough of a stigma to steer any young djs career off course - deep in the discos of pop trash. fortunately for metaphi / metske, although still benefitting from the same glossy 90s locks as the radio-jock/distant uncle, musical inspiration came from more complex climates. wigflex006 acts as a fine electronic switchboard to metaphis archive of talents, a complicated circuit board of the experimental ranging from hip hop, idm, and garage to blues harmonicas and classical rifts, seamlessly melted into one gloop of green circuitry where each musical discipline must co-exist with another. as metske the bpms hover around 95, the framework is hip-hop, the sound often skwee but the influences thereafter are endless, slow train blues clicks its way through a steam train intro before marring the lines between electronic music and the blues with a self-composed harmonica rift worthy of howlin wolf. at the same tempo spin states delves into the cosmic with pipey neon chords and bit-crunched bass: sega mega drive boss level business. metaphis taste for big room techno is blatant and genetically wigflex over sharpflex, and in terms of nationality its mongrel, half notts, half eastern europe. with concious mentis hes keeping things minimal but charged from lower frequencies and messmode progresses with some serious dancefloor swagger.

after introducing iron curtis and catz n dogz to the label on the chart topping retrofit no. 8 ep we follow up with another new introduction, martin dawson in collaboration with label boss jay shepheard.here on the retrofit no.9 ep the pair deliver a quad pack of quality electronic music ranging from the peak-time dance floor killers kinds of people and cut a hole to the laid back mid tempo house of obey your aul (featured as the opening track on shepheards recent ra podcast) and the bouncing hip hop groove of megaface 3k.this is certainly one of the most diverse releases on the label to date and if early crowd reactions are anything to go by looks like it will be one of the most popular too!

following up after the mental drop by detroits master of repetition, population one, we have a new signing hailing from the land of the rising sun, helping us to set the standards for this new imprint— uncompromised techno funk! japanese producer imugem orihasam has spent the past 3 years slowly evolving. his early work on ilian tape and esperanza sounds like that of an already seasoned craftsman digesting detroit bit by bit, with a focus on lush textures and swooning eerie melodies. this past year has seen a spike in activity for imugem, with releases on patrice scotts sistrum recordings, berlins nsyde, and adam marshalls new kanada—all showcasing a more focused and exuberant approach that has sharpened his reflective compositions. with gem, imugem steps away from the supple melodies and tranquil atmospheres for a trip deep into the power plant.

quickly rising on the horizon of the london electronic scene, croydon-based deft joins forces with wotnot music for an enchanting two-track ep with three beastly remixes. while driving dancefloors wild with an energetic and fresh brand of ghetto-tech and footwork, defts production on this release betrays his hip hop origins in a whole new way, with seductive beats, g-funk-esque top lines and unlimited swagger.

after the well received clone s.o.s.>all around the fires< ep and his debut vidd 001, marco shuttle starts an adventure with his very own eerie records label. first trip is a great 3 track ep in marco s signature sound. deep, super deep acid & 808 driven grooves and dark dubby reverbed drums and dramatic strings. phat tracks that sometimes remind of early aphex twin works on the selected ambient works and surfing on sinewaves but then the marco shuttle way. dont sleep on this one! recommended.

aubrey is one of uks early 90s techno pioneers that made music still relevant today. on this contact funk 2012 ep lifeworld introduces you to 4 of his classic and rare tracks remastered. vortex two is a straight forward techno trip with minimalistic 909 programming and deep mesmerizing sounds. with reflection aubrey brings things in more playful territory. the deep driving bassline, jumpy melody line and dito percusion provide for an insane dance floor bomb. on the flip we have a melodic club banger in contact funk and a deep techno tune called ultra de ja vu. beautiful dark blue marbled vinyl. highly recommended!

after his first stomp in 2012 its time for the true first single astral projection out of his upcoming debut album micro mega (out in june)! for the new single strip steve is teaming up with the lucid and wild eyed dream-pop band puro instinct, young protégées of living legend ariel pink, straight outta sunny southern california. unlike his more dancefloor tunes stomp/mother circuit (bnr078), strip steve is taking us here on a trip painting lingering psychedelic-noir disco pop. astral projection goes more to the root and encapsulates musical influences from the beach boys, chic, and modern disco like amplified orchestra, highlighting the fact how versatile and multi faceted strip steves musical approaching can be. its the flirtyness with fragile lucency and the infantile embracement of the simple and still undiscovered popformula which leaves the song grow and breathe on its own. this cocktail is best served by the beauty of your own imagination. so relax & leave your soul wonder, cause astral projection will take you to a new dimension until youll have the pleasure to discover >micro mega< - strip steves debut album.

k skip skipson has built himself quite a fan base with his funky releases as (knarf) skipson on quintessentials and other labels. the young man from berlin is deeply infuenced by hip hop – both in terms of production techniques (he uses an mpc as his main instrument) as well as aesthetically. for maria colors he comes up with four massive house tracks full of hip hop and soul samples which make you wonder, can it get any deeper than this?! funky as hell and extremely soulful – thats what makes these tracks from skipson so special – and at the same time theyre a wonderful way to celebrate the labels first birthday.

the corner is a new imprint from deconstructs anthony parasole. the concept is complete d.i.y. like the great street labels of the nineties, from nervous to rawkus - music with no boundaries! the tri-state ep by dj qu & nor easter brings just that - no boundaries. the first track up, >cuttin headz (tribute)< is by nor easter which is an ode to the interlude, a tribute track to early nineties hip-hop! >times like this< by dj qu is a fresh, driving, deep and forward moving percussive dance floor thumper! then there is >tri-state< by nor’easter, a gritty ny hip-hop track. altogether this music represents… the corner!

at this point you should know that am/tm is anthony mansfield and tal m. klein. this is their eighth record together. you should probably also know that anthony mansfield has another side project with nick chacona called ncam. in other words, anthony is a collaboratively promiscuous producer who likes to make music with his friends. back to acid is am/tm?s attempt to get the world from uptight and twitching to firmly crooked and messy. coveting a return to the halcyon days of tripped out people melting on the dancefloor and raves in the woods, comes this hard hitting trip with vocals by navid izadi. add sweeping 303s and crunchy 808s.. and well, what more could you ask for in a track called back to acid? on the b-side is an extended ncam remix which ups the bpms and attitude. its a family affair.

nach touren rund um den globus kehrten eleanore und jason zurück in ihr abgedunkeltes studio und arbeiteten an dem hypnotisierendem nachfolger zu ihrem beeindruckenden debüt. >red night< wirkt wie eine meditation über trennung und wiederfindung, über fast verloren gegangene liebe und die lang nacht zu ihr zurück. der thith sound vermählt furchtlos minimalismus und abstraktion mit grossartigen melodien. eindringliche stringarrangements werden von treibenden rhythmen und eleanores faszinierender stimme überrannt. >red night< ist ein trip durch die schwarze grossstadtnacht, in der zeit sich dehnt, geschwindigkeit bricht, und gitarren in donner und herzklopfen eintauchen, bei immer intensiver werdenden vocals, je länger die nacht dauert. nach jüngsten auftritten mit odd future und kid cudi, mit den yeah yeah yeahs, james murphy und squarepusher werden thith jetzt auch bei uns ihr neues album ausgiebig live präsentieren!

rising parisian producer yakines career pretty much defines the word eclectic — in his teens, he was a bona fide metalhead, playing guitar in a metal band that toured all over europe, before his love of hip hop steered him in the direction of the dancefloor. he really found his home behind the decks, however, and once he discovered the world of electronic music via the patronage of his brother—who introduced him to the sounds of underground deep house and techno — yakine quickly moved into production. he has since released a series of eps on european labels like esperanza and jetaime records. the rise ep is his first release for spectral sound, a four-track slab of understated, atmospheric techno.
