for the 108th installment in the ever expanding planet rhythm catalog, a various artists effort has been planned with some of the label’s usuals and some exciting names we have had our eye on for a while now. for the a-side, arts label owner emmanual brings his much appreciated e100 to vinyl. previously released digitally through his own imprint, this cut has been sought after for a while now. second up is eindhoven native albert van abbe. albert has been making a lot of waves for a long time now and we’re very glad to welcome him to the prruk family. more to ignore 04 is a funked out piece of machine music that will definitely turn some heads. the b side is opening with elyas the hangman. the mysteryman that gained some infamy through his releases on modularz and olympian delivers a cutting edge techno work-out. closing down this va 12” is mendy. returning to prruk for the 2nd time, mendy has come up with elevation which is a chordy techno theme for peak hours.

final volume in the ‘walk.man’ mix series. a 4 track of burners and disco thuds. ‘cloud break’ bolts out the blocks with deadly bongo drums and heady vocal whilst ‘don’t you? opens it out on the breakdown with xxxy. ‘magnolia is looped up phaser disco distilled. finished with the glacial ‘ur salvation’

next up on asking for trouble after selling out the album and re-pressing comes a four track remix ep for radioactive man’s luxury sky garden album. life-time friend of radioactive man and control tower partner dexorcist aka simon brown is first up to deliver his take on ‘sonic portal’ on the a side. his style has always been uncompromising and as a music lover and dj he s been a major influence on tenniswood’s style and taste for a long time. dexorcist turns in a detroit influenced banger which goes deep. ben pest then follows with his own take of the same track. a member of funk band pest, purveyor of wonky techno, music tech teacher and hardware enthusiast ben has also released on jerome hill’s don t’ label, i love acid and horror boogie to name a few. his take on ‘sonic portal’ is as genre bending and weighted as you’d expect. over on the b side pain struck stanley dumb remix ‘blast furnace’ - a fast and furious electro track which was released as a digital bonus to the album. they work it into a breakneck speed techno number. taste the amphetamine! completing the package biggabush (aka glyn bush) brings his dub influence to the mix. bush of rockers hi-fi connected with radioactive man during a mastering session asking to do the mix after hearing the record. the results are impressive and provide a welcome tempo and vibe change to the ep with its deep and dubby elements.

deep house excursions for the eclectic mind. includes a beautiful remix by uk prodigy forest drive west supported by françois x, simo cell, peverelist, riverette, dos attack, sandro, san soda, al kassian

six years after their debut release on all inn, premiesku is back to the label with a brand new three tracker. last man on moon brings the usual winner formula of the trio. the proper hypnosis of drum machines, featherweight spacey themes with a pinch of classical house flavour on the top. a must have record for all periods of the weekend.

since our beginning, manny cuevas a.k.a. dj m-traxxx has been a big supporter of snuff trax. in return, we totally dig his amazing radio shows and podcasts. this man’s heart is beating for chicago house music and you can feel the impact on all of his productions. snuff trax is very happy to present a whole manny cuevas record: „thee jackin’ zone e.p.“ for „you’ll never know (twisted fantasy)“ manny invited the amazing dj and vocalist josh caffe. together they created a seductive tune that takes us back to the golden era of house. a truly irresistible affair. with the tracks „a matter defined (acid house)“ and „thee jackin zone“ manny captures the wild pulse of the dance floor. sincerely raw, that’s all we need.

distant hawaii punts the summer long into the autumn grass with an uplifting, spirit-dancing, soul-sparkling ep from fast-rising newcomer dj different.
coasting off of the back of releases for 1Ø pills mate and mood of the era, dj different grabs the bull by the horns for this one with some coarsely slabbed house samplin’ rubbing up against scuffed drum work, luscious chords and steady swirling deepness.

man power has proven on many occasions to be adept at all manner of different moods within the hardware house canon, but on this occasion hes particularly focusing on creating an exotic feeling out of mechanical means. tropical bastard is a fitting title for this project for not an animal records, with the original steeped in driving patterns of rhythm and melody that approximate a flavour of far flung lands while mutating the feeling into something more club-minded. lord of the isles goes one step further with a remix that ramps the modulation up to devilishly wonky levels. tropical bastard 2inch is an entirely different beast that plays on a cinematic vision of tropical escape, but with an acid thread pulsing through it. then the frank butters remix finishes the ep off with a more submerged, but equally mischievous take.

second up in doc daneeka’s walk.man series sees the all-time don, robert owens step up. two tracks, recorded in berlin that could have stepped directly out of his 90’s back catalogue. one for the lovers. the walk.man mixtape will be released in full on cassette and digital at the end of the summer.

spatial cues is a series of split singles sounding out main(void)’s and kon janson’s shared musical space. operating out of berlin and london, the two artists join forces to showcase their mutual vision of techno music. cues003 explores the darker side of the series with a focus on low frequencies, echoing percussions, and vast spaces, evoking a deep introspective motion. diffracting a manifold of sounds around its massive kick drum, cues003 a builds and releases tension through a dramatic sequence of smooth swells and intense surges. grounded by its captivating groove, cues003 b evolves around the sinister funk of fierce fm bass stabs, leading up to a powerful break that introduces a razor-edged hi-hat.

the highly-anticipated ep, despite everything , written and produced by italian techno artist, ayarcana, with remixes by london based producer manni dee, along with berlin based producer, huren, is finally here. this is the second release for omen recordings, once again archiving the dark sounds and malignant spirit of techno.

after his banging ep 1 on aus, tee mangos back for the 5th installment in his tribute project, inspired by the much referenced theo parrish quote: love of the music should be the driving force of any producer, performer or dj. everything else stems from that core, that love. with that love, sampling can become a tribute, an expansion on ideas long forgotten, reconstruction, collage. time is now time is now comes off like adamski era seal rerub for the small hours. replete with hypnotic looped piano and drums sounding like they were lifted from vaughan mason s raze house archive. simply sweet sweet electronic music. make it last forever the b side is tee mango on home turf, with a selection of choice samples under his cap (from a record you might recognise), some simple loose sampled drums and a smattering of dub delay. love for this series coming from: axel boman, benji b, artwork, fred p, and a heap of others. these tribute releases sell out pretty quick, my hunch is that these will not hang about.

soundtrack zu aktuellen netflix-serie -black mirror-. die musik stammt von clint mansell, früher sänger der band pop will eat itself, heute gefragter komponist von film-scores. zu seinen erfolgreichen werken gehören die film-musiken zu -black swan-, -moon-, -ghost in the shell- und -the fountain-. -black mirror- gehört zu den ungewöhnlichsten serien im moment: -wenn technik eine droge ist - und es fühlt sich wie eine droge an, was genau sind dann die nebenwirkungen? dieser bereich - zwischen vergnügen und unbehagen - ist der schauplatz meiner neuen drama-serie black mirror-, sagt serien-schöpfer charlie brooker. der score ist entsprechend düster, elektronisch, atmosphärisch.

the other man is a unique collaboration between up-and-coming young finnish producer janne tavi the flag-bearer of ibadans next generation nd acclaimed chicago house vocal legend robert owens. this ep is a superb rare gem that bridges global distances and combines a broad range of influences. the result is lush layers of sound, relentless energy, and intricate piano riffs and stabs. owensÆ poignant vocals seal the deal on this new house classic, taking it to sublime heights. the vocal dub kicks the heat up a notch with owensÆ seductive vocals and taviÆs stunning keys and arrangement. on the b-side, new york house legend kerri chandler makes a long-awaited return on ibadan. first up is a spirited vocal version with a dynamic bassline. chandler follows it up with an instrumental take, pared down to a tool and keeping the infectious groove going with deep and satisfying flavor.

das beste von dem sänger mit der rauchig-smoothen stimme, der seit mehr als 30 jahren als solokünstler, songwriter und produzent erfolgreich ist. “can’t stop a man” präsentiert 36 ausgesuchte songs aus den jahren 1976 bis 2003 auf triple-lp im gatefold sleeve und ausführlichen liner notes & track by track-notes, geschrieben vom us-amerikanischen reggae-experten rob kenner. erstmalig in jahre 2003 parallel zum gleichnamigen 2cd-digipak set erschienen, ist dieses beres hammond porträt wieder als vinyl erhältlich. das zitat von prime entertainment zum konzert im kölner stadtgarten bringt es auf den punkt: “beres hammond beeindruckt mit seiner durch tiefes timbre geprägten, dennoch smoothen und sehr eindringlichen stimme. seine texte sind stets von einer emotionalen dichte und der wahrheit getragen, dass wir eigentlich alle nur nach liebe suchen. diese essentielle message verpackt er in große dancehall-smasher, ebenso wie in romantische balladen und in spirituelle rootsgesänge.”

es war ein bewegender abend, der weit bis in die nacht hineinreichte, im ausverkauften hammersmith palais in london am 05. juni 1977. unter den 2.000 begeisterten zuschauern waren auch joe strummer und mick jones. beide waren von der show der jamaikanischen top-stars dermaßen inspiriert, dass der frühe single-hit von the clash -(white man) in hammersmith palais- daraus entstand. zur feier des 40-jährigen labeljubiläums präsentiert greensleeves die gleichnamige 4-track ep (33 rpm) in attraktivem packaging inklusive eines nachdrucks des posters, mit dem das konzert seinerzeit beworben wurde. hier finden sich die besten stücke von leroy smart und dillinger mit -ballistic affair- und -cokane in my brain-, sowie ken boothes unnachahmliche coverversion von sixto waiting for sugar man rodriguez und dem äußerst raren und gesuchten delroy wilson song -rascal man (false rasta)-.

newcastle-born, mexico-based man power debuts on optimo trax with two psychasonic missives cut extra loud for optimum sound system performance. we asked man power for some words about this release and he told us - -both tracks sound different, but they re both from the same place in as much as they represent a conscious effort by me to strip back some of unnecessary niceties in my music and really sharpen my focus on what makes people dance without crossing the fine line of what makes me sound like me.”

the snooze fest is over and we’re back in the saddle with the first output from colin la plante aka the mole aka half owner of this imprint. he’s been touring up a storm and playing out a lot of new music we’re excited to share with you this year.
spicy noodles are something colin thinks everyone can love…not one at a time…but by the bowl.
this four tracker definitely shows off “new directions” for the mole – nothing too outlandish mind you, but the path he chose with the title and crowd favourite “gelb grun blau” definitely has these tracks leaning towards the centre of a dj sets vs. beginning or end…spiralling kick drums with a fine grind blend of digital synths, analog synths, drum machines and the occasional samples here. vape-house anyone?
the closer “back in the studio game” is a beatless one created just for the sunrises of your life.

ariwo ist ein in london beheimatetes, kubanisch-iranisches quartett, das sich darauf konzentriert, die bislang unerforschten zusammenhänge zwischen elektronischer musik, afrokubanischen rhythmen und iranischem mystizismus zum klingen zu bringen. sein selbstbetiteltes debüt erscheint als auf 500 exemplare limitierte doppel-lp mit vier sehr langen und hypnotischen tracks. die platte ist die zweite veröffentlichung des labels manana, das vom !k7-kollektiv in der nachfolge des atemberaubenden kubanischen manana-festivals 2016 gegründet wurde. in den worten der band ist es deren ziel -to connect our native musical traditions to electronic music in a way, that pushes beyond traditional cuban an iranian identity-. denn auf diese weise entstünde ein sound, der keiner spezifischen kultur mehr zugeordnet werden könne. dazu passt es, dass der begriff -ariwo- in der westafrikanischen yoruba-kultur, die im zuge des transatlantischen sklavenhandels auch nach kuba gelangte und dort zu einem einflussreichen faktor wurde, schlicht geräusch bedeutet.

new comers laughing man and noah skelton release their -element ep-, on silencio. the first track, -element-, is a collaboration between the two artists. this combined effort rumbles into the clearing, dragging the dance floor and its occupants along with it for a riveting ride throughout its duration. a beguiling bass line, complimented by underlying ethereal sounds, seamlessly contrasts and connects to form a compelling rhythm. riddled with space age laser samples that periodically bubble to the surface, this track consistently pulls listeners in by pushing out good vibrations. on side b laughing man goes solo with the second track -1939-. this dynamic offering is a model of contemplative creation that basks in its own thought provoking ambience. a series of scintillating samples, echoing in waves of varying intensity, are served up with satisfying drums and a clever assortment of claps. this release has a way of finding your mind and marinating in the sub-conscious because it s just that deep.

solo project of vanishing twin (soundway) member. the song cucumuber sword feat. vocals by taishi nagasaka (fat white family) man from uranus has been making music inspired by the freakier edges of 60s and 70s library music and jazz for almost 2 decades, and like his predecessors - sun ra, space lady - he s never really fitted in, feeling more comfortable exploring cosmic realms than than with his feet firmly on his own planet. a prolific composer and home recordist, he has garnered a reputation for eccentric live shows, each presenting an entirely new repertoire. alien flowers, in a limited edition of 300, is one of few recordings capturing the spirit of an artist who is unwittingly on his way to attainting cult status. alien flowers has been played on nts, the wire s adventures in sound and music and the independent music podcast. support from the sunday experience, tom furse (the horrors), jonny trunk, doug shipton (finders keepers), emily bick (the wire) and anthony chalmers (baba yaga s hut).

it is making my blood boil. man, my jaw is hanging down listening to this stuff. read the email from butthole surfers man and producer, paul leary, when he heard the demo for what would become the debut philipp gorbachev & the naked man album. philipp gorbachev, the russian musician and dj, has been throwing killer parties and making some of the most innovative and exciting electronic music to come out of moscow in years. in 2014 he released his debut album silver album but when invited to perform a live boiler room he had something else in mind: a band scenario. the resulting concoction was not something locked into a 4/4 beat but rather a much more organic, groove-based sound with funk-strutting bass lines and live drums that rolled and flurried around the beats that jumped around leading the charge of the songs along with gorbachev’s damo suzuki-like vocals. taking that experiment into the studio, i dont give a snare is a wild ride that jumps genres, switches paces and alters tones frequently. the opening goodman exploding in intense rhythms and heavy, spiralling riffs that at times recall sabbath but the ever-shifting drums and gargling electronics give a wonky freshness that feels impossible to place into genre. whilst gorbachev cites a range of influences from beck to blind willie johnson as being core to him, the primary motivation is the live nature of the project itself. the main influence is the constant live experience we have as music players and performers. i want to get the most out of every party, every jam, and every dancefloor.

in support of the highly anticipated second album from london grammar comes the single oh woman, oh man on exclusive 7 inch vinyl.
