there’s a delicacy to the performances by toxe—not a fragile delicacy, but the kind you’d associate with an olympic rhythmic gymnast, whose twirls only seem light and graceful because of the immense muscular power behind them. “ - fader toxe’s horizons are very wide - she has deconstructed britney spears in -xic- for halcyon veil and with ‘still life’ (co-produced with mechatok) she caught the atttention of kenzo who used it as a score to their fw 2016 prints’ presentation and she has also performed alongside arca. toxe exhibits her relentless creativity as she edits and produces her own videos designs her visuals, exhibiting her relentless creativity which has lead to the excitement for the upcoming audio visual collaboration. the work, ‘morning story’, was created in collaboration with artist niclas hille. released on limited edition vinyl and also digitally in may 2017. the swedish musician crafts some of the most stomach-churning music productions, innovative drum patterns and lovelorn melodies in the scene. her debut ep ‘muscle memory’ was released on staycore in october 2015. on the five tracks of this release she clashed boulder-heavy rhythms against intricate details painting a picture very human and emotional, developing a very distinctive sound. the artist concluded 2016 with her first ever south-american tour. more recently, toxe played at berlin s ctm festival and meetfactory in prague. the swedish experimentalist has just been announced for a gucci x club to club night in milan, best kept secret and wiener festwochen s new hyperreality festival.

another slick double artist 12 inch from the 2nd drop camp and for this, our 9th release, soushakerz head honcho and kent second finest achievement after the channel tunnel, j:kenzo, offers a blistering a side with conqueror. this moody, skittish and intense bongo led firecracker that descends into a thumping bass skank out on the drop, is pure dancefloor dynamite.
on the flip sees the return of ld, who continues to take the percussive elements deeper on derailment, adding in ravey synth line and switch up 2nd drop that compliments conqueror perfectly.

the 14th release on the ifs imprint is a really special one, from a legend in the 140 scene, cluekid. he makes his return to 12-, after a very successful release with canadian imprint vinyl vigilance, and dishes up two lost dubplates which have been needing the plate treatment for years. having already received heavy support from the likes of j:kenzo, v.i.v.e.k, darkside and distance, this release is a must have. particularly with the added addition of the full sleeve artwork, designed by emily dayson illustration.

we are extremely happy to welcome yet another talented crew from italy in the moonshine family. d-operation drop is a project born in 2010 thanks to the encounter of 5 university students wich found themselves sharing the same house and more importantly, love for music (in 2013 zeemo joins the crew, modifying the formation from 5 to 6 elements). after a couple of early collaborations, almost casual, uniradio cesena gives to d-operation drop the chance to lay the foundations of an underground music program on air twice a week. thanks to this experience the group officially finds its frame and looks forward to its new goals such as producing, djving and vj’ing. to date d-operation drop, after almost seven years of experience, has received support from artists like j:kenzo, distance, n-type, icicle, radikal guru & many others. releasing music with notable labels such as lion charge, artikal music uk, subaltern and now moonshine recordings.

when it comes to a state of trance, thereÕs no desire stronger. we need it in order to make the most of life, to fill the gap that would otherwise remain unfilled. to make us want to be in that moment, to have the very essence of our existence looking for that emotion. itÕs what we live for. with Ôa state of trance 2017Õ, the titans of trance have gathered round to show us all that we envision. it is a happy place where we can celebrate music and life, chock-full with exclusive records and emotion-driven cuts from flag-bearers such as alexander popov, armin van buuren, marlo, omnia, orjan nilsen, protoculture, super8 & tab. the compilation has captured the essence of all we hold so dear, touching us in ways that makes us shine even brighter. if you are part of the movement, you will share its beliefs and swear by its ideals. yet, few words are needed to explain the feeling. one phrase says it all. i live for that energy.

based in california, banana stand sound has been wrecking expectations and setting forth new musical streams consistently for two years now. its discography is a diverse display of tribal stompers, melodic groove spectacles and everything in between, which excites the labels unarguably exquisite taste. over the years theyve gained steady advocacy from institutions such as fatkidonfire and trusik among others, as well as by a long list of highly esteemed djs and producers from the likes of j:kenzo, benga, compa, skream and joe nice.

hier kommt wieder die volle wucht an trance/progressive-sounds der stunde! armin van buuren, frischgebackener grammy-nominierter (fŸr seine single this is what it feels like), definiert den aktuellen status des genres. mit 37 tracks und mixes, von denen ganze 26 exklusiv und unveršffentlicht sind.

on the original one, a decadent intro with swishing reverse cymbals, create like a perfect countdown for the incoming hypnotic melody. these two elements, along with a deep half-step beat, continue their propagation for the whole track, made with a certain dose of style and precision.
the real explosion comes with the acclaimed remix made by artikal (j:kenzo & mosaix) who have masterfully dubbed out the version increasing the kicks, making a real runaway hit, already played and supported by many djs as youngsta and amit on rinsefm.

the next release coming out of the roska camp is this smart vinyl-only followup to the roska allstars release. this second instalment brings more of the same versatile movements from some fantastic producers currently leading the way for upfront danceable material. main man roska signs up terror danjah to pull of a smart remix of his track >without it<. its somewhat of a guilty pleasure hearing both artists signature idents in one song, terror with his evil gremlin laugh and roska with his ubiquitous shout out! however its all about the arrangement here as terror reforms those original trumpet sounds and adds some heavy distorted bass. j:kenzo serves up >let it move< which is all out pure electro style with punchy drums and dirty synths, again lending to the surprising nature of this labels output. tickles completes the vinyl only package with >da growler<. drums are tougher than iron and bass harder than rock as tickles blends funky, dubstep and house into his own dance-floor destructive mould. all three records show a different side to the current uk bass and funky scene, yet they somehow could only belong on kicks & snares. a fine package for a burgeoning label.

blasta s saga comes to an end with part 3 of his incredible adventures of kenzolika and quetzalcoatl among the air castles series. the product of an over-active imagination, this series has fused dubstep and post-garage riddims with traces of jazzy easy listening and psyched exotica. the most successful effort here has to be the garage rollidge of black muscatel offset by smooth and dreamy-clean synth keys, while zeppelin nacelle sails off with gently propulsive garage bass and trip42 brings the story to an end with down pitched dubstep beats subsiding into sunset 303s.

new material from label boss rob pearson, tech house heavyweight nathan coles (fabric/ wiggle /is this), and yann solo (new era/ 4 kenzo) as well as the first feature on wax of cubisms lunacy sound division (mark gwinnett) who delivers a slick rework of question mark
