2013 sees the release of norwegian disco viking rune linbaeks latest long player, on his drum island label. its his first album since the 2000 release (sondag) on paper recordings repap offshoot. last years single wonder feat kurt maloo on the label was a day one sell out here at all ears and marked a significant maturing of runes trademark sound. the influence of norway on the worlds forward thinking disco scene & beyond is more than evident, with countrymen like todd terje, prins thomas and hans peter lindstrom all leading the charge for years now. the creative cauldron of the infamous club in a public toilet skansen has much to answer for! krasava is a very much vocal led project, with a cast of featured vocalists which includes norwegian popstar anneli drecker alongside recent collaborator Øyvind blikstad. the album is steeped in norwegian folklore, visually and musically and the gentle lilt of the norse/balearic sound, sits comfortably alongside more cosmic flavours, rock and beautifully crafted pop.

extended album tracks... bound to rip a place up!

on the a-side, the delectable solk clearly proves that the exact midway point between mostar and malmo is in fact chicago. meanwhile, inter gritty takes you back to mid 90s stockholm with a viciously pounding remix. the closing track loksyra is quite simply the perfect marriage between onions, knives and a 303.

straight and to the point high bpm club ready tracks from the world of delroy edwards. no one is left standing with the clap, whistle, and warble of this ghetto funk. rough and tough beat tracks made for mixing and getting the fuck out, just like in the old days. nothing flashy here, hard working tracks for the working dj.

after emerging from years of seclusion below the chicago underground last year, marquis cooper aka svengalisghost, returns with all new material recorded this winter somewhere between the woods of north carolina and the streets of nyc. an advocate in creating what he calls the anti-beat, cooper takes what he s learned from the traditional machine experimentation of the early pioneers, reconstructs and retransmits the sounds which lie somewhere in the realm of unhinged synth punk or industrial forward-thinking beat electronics. these tracks are truly the essence of house, and a vicious circle it is.

another thumping e.p. from fresh l.i.e.s. find, vereker...tip!!!

new label with chicago influeces ! killer release. incl legowelt remix

phat drumcode like prime time action

the inspiration for this ep came from a trip the two producers took to zug island- a polluted toxic metal factory isle on the detroit river between detroit and windsor, canada. the sounds within this record are intended to sonically personify the environment of zug island and the harmful impact it currently has on the river, wild life,and humans residing there!

oh yes, fresh steve moore visions on the brilliant l.i.e.s.!!! tip!!

super-limited exclusive three track vinyl sampler ep from the upcoming l.i.e.s. >american noise< 2xcd compilation! this sampler expands upon three completely styles reflective of the diverse l.i.e.s. catalog to date. torn hawk pulverizing the entire a-side with his most unclassifiable material to date, marcos cabral returning to the label with a sinister 110 bpm techno track, and delroy edwards doing a blown-out barneys workout. a strong finish to the year.

returning after some time off, two dogs in a house took to a secluded studio in stockholm sweden during spring 2012 to record while on the road. here we have the result of uninhibited access to machines with no time constraints and no distractions from the outside world. this freedom allowed the duo to expand upon their ideas of deconstructing conventional song structure and harnessing the power of what immediately surrounded them in the moment. two full side tracks that will absolutely crush and/or isolate anyone who crosses through the sonic pathway of them. perfect sounds for the apocalyptic world we live in.

new l.i.e.s!just when we had our doubts about the west coast, los angeles via nyc producer delroy edwards steps up with his debut release for l.i.e.s. musically edwards takes his influences from that barneys ghetto sound with oversaturated 909 shuffling highs, dx bells, 101 filters and ends up making fresh, and yes, melodic ghetto style tracks that somehow get stuck in your head even without vocals. a unique take on a modern classic with the dancefloor in mind.

the first release from swedens random island recordings offers three tracks of pure-bred techno from label owner inter gritty. nihad tule provides a stunning remix that turns the raw, chicago-esque pounding of kiska into a dramatic, flowing techno builder. and finally, huemul drops the pace and sets off to explore the deeper side of techno, drenched in drones, chords and deep bass.

no stranger to the cherry-picked pool of talent at somethinksounds, lucky paul now delivers his second weird and wonderful single >elephant island< on the boutique label, backed by a couple of muscular remixes from hyperdub wonderboy ossie and the unstoppable midland.

highly recommended! marieu comes back with an amazing solo e.p. on his own label enlightened wax after the worldwide success of his first work, heavily played by the most appreciated underground djs. as usual, this record has been written, mixed and produced only on dusty machines and recorded on juicy magnetic tape. the opening track, >ancient times< is a capturnig fat deep house track with a subtle female chant and space-station pads a2, >heat eninges< is build on an heavy ground shaking bass, a wagging latin piano riff. big claps, and sharp cymbals. funky and relentless, its just an essential choice for every swingin dj. on side b,>radiant< develops on a solid bass drum a filtered house groove making a breach to a charming jazzy piano and a blues voice. a complete feeding for every hungry dancefloor b2, >spectrum<begins with a dark hypnotizing groove enlightened in the middle of the track by an uplifting motorcity pad. striking and suggestive.

this summer paul weller has a treat for his fans in the form of a brand new track - starlite. the song comes accompanied by remixes from black van, drop out orchestra and d-pulse. speaking about >starlite, weller said: >here is a brand new track called >starlite< in time for the summer. its not from the forthcoming album, its just for now! its part balearic beat, poetry and psychedelic music. i hope you like it. pwx<

somewhat of a metaphor for britain, welcome to goon island is born from the great british art school tradition, the core of the band having met at art college in sothend, vivid, interesting, expansive and far-reaching, an aesthetic that seeps into everything they do from their other-worldly videos via intriguing photos to extra curricular activities such as training dogs to dance. yet such apparent frippery shouldn t disguise their uncanny ability to pen rather fine songs, as welcome to goon island attests.

jess mills is on everyones lips at the moment as she sets the barrier high with her single >vulture< – which is actually out today. having worked alongside digital soundboy main-man, james breakage, providing the vocals for his track, >fighting fire<. breakage has returned the favour by producing >vultures<. theres a moody photek re-edit on the flip, if you know what rupert parkes is capable of then you wont give this one a miss. limited to 250 vinyl.

label boss jazzy eyewear with a double header fantasy island / the wait.
