eric boss â&#128,&#147, closer to the spirit just when you thought that the funk 45 game was becoming a little bit too predictable, mocambo once again hits with a sureshot single to smash dancefloors across the pond. eric boss (dj e da boss, myron & e, the pendletons...) needs little introduction. his 2ndouting with the german funk heavyweights anticipates their forthcoming collaborative album - a modern love- with a raw uptempo funk track, oozing old school vibes, flipped live and uncut on tape with a fresh style that is all their own. limited edition vinyl 45 includes instrumental for dedicated djs.

in 2013, we released the debut album from the beat broker. it went down a storm with both the disco buying public and critics alike. fast forward to 2017 and we are just as pleased to welcome the second album from the san francisco resident. he is here to share his sunshine once more.

Üppige lp anthologie mit raritäten, unveröffentlichten songs und live-stücken. ergänzt wird die lp durch eine bonus-cd. diese enthält zwei komplette konzertmitschnitte aus brüssel und leuven vom 5. bzw. 6. oktober 1982 mit insgesamt 19 songs.

omer joins the love on the rocks family with a massive underground smash, the not-so-well-kept secret rework thats been doing the rounds recently among a handful of trusted djs, inducing hands-in-the-air hysteria and clocking up more than a few plays in clubs from robert johnson to panorama bar. finally it lands here as the title track of the ep, perfectly tooled for any poolside dance party. phew! finding just enough room for another huge jam to share the same side, omer moves effortlessly into his trademark late night melancholic trip territory with high hopes, leading in with snapping percussion before giving way to a fierce bassline, swirling layers of melody and synths that resonate with warmth and emotion. rounding out the proceedings, back and forth pulses with electric energy from the word go, quickly pulling you into its distinctly neon after-dark atmospherics, with a forboding hook that twists around itself amid spiralling tension, and on into euphoria. you and me to the party, you and me all night. you and me to the party,you and me all night.

five releases strong and a colourful storm is cementing itself as one of the most exciting labels to watch. theyve even managed to surprise us with their most ahem, functional record yet. four demented bleeps n bloops n bassliners with just enough sass, sub and a beautifully complex sound palette to boot. our pick is the specialist. fifth release on australian label a colourful storm - premiered on someones boiler room (we cant remember who) - ricardo villalobo’ favourite artist (surely) - absolute bangers

no tech, just wax! was born from the love for the raw essential old school sounds and the new deep electronic shades of gian marco / sucaz / frankie.

part 1/3! several shades of the same color is patricias first album for spectral sound, produced in conjunction with his own label active cultures.

this grouping of audio recordings is for aural use only. any emotional content perceived herein is borne of its listener, and is in no way intended by its author. any sounds resembling speech are not intended to convey meaning. several shades of the same color is patricia s first album for spectral sound — produced in conjunction with his own label active cultures. tips for listeners: consider the moment in which you exist, pay attention to how these sounds evoke physiological (rather than cognitive) responses. listeners may find themselves deriving immense physical pleasure from exposure to these sounds. inability to achieve such pleasure is likely attributable to over-analysis of the aforementioned audio content — or to improper amplification. each of shades three lps features suites of tracks that, considered alone, comprise their own distinct, unique worlds. disc one opens with -i know the face, but not the name,- an unabashedly plaintive trip through classic electro rhythms, flip it over for -the words are only sounds,- a haunting affair for synthesizer and voice. disc two s -the electric eye is upon me- swirls endlessly, while -shiba inu dub- is cut for the floor and coy as its namesake. disc three s jackin -feel your body- will cause you to do just that, -german friendship- sounds like d.a.f. on dissociatives. any emotional associations incurred while listening come at the listener s discretion. furthermore, the identity of the author and/or their passions regarding the recordings herein shall bear no weight on the listener s experience. this body of work is not intended to generate ideas, rather, its goal is to produce physical sensations in the listener.

this summer sees the joining together of two of the most loved institutions in drum & bass as bryan gee s pioneering v recordings imprint links with one the most loved and respected annual events in the d&b calendar, sunandbass. however this collaboration goes further than just these two - if you add certified d&b legend dj patife into the mix, add a collection of some of the most exciting brazilian producers into the mix (and a couple of special guests!) and you have one of the mostly hotly anticipated compilations of the year dj patife presents viva brazil sunandbass sessions. to kick things off sun&bass present a four track collection to wet your appetite the vibe is coming , available on 2x12inch vinyl this ep sets the tone with brand new music from dj patife, david ws & mc fats, alibi, command strange and simplification & translate. as you d expect this sampler is packed full of sunshine, liquid vibes the perfect meeting of sao paulo & sardinia. the vibe is coming, make sure you catch it!

panic! at the disco präsentieren 2017 ein reissue ihres debütalbums »a fever you can’t sweat out«, und zwar auf vinyl.
das album erschien ursprünglich bereits am 27. september 2005, und zwar beim label decaydance records von fallout-boy-gründer pete wentz. dieser hatte zuvor demos der band gehört und nahm sie unter vertrag, noch bevor sie jemals live performt hatte.
aufgenommen wurden die 13 songs von »a fever you can’t sweat out« in den somd! studios in college park, maryland. für die produktion zeichnete matt squire (good charlotte, the used, taking back sunday) verantwortlich.
das album wurde ein kommerzieller erfolg. die zweite singleauskopplung »i write sins not tragedies« schaffte es in den usa bis in die top 10 der charts.

nyako is our 7th vinyl release here at otc and it s a big one. south african producer behr created nyako together with makadem during a santuri safari session at sondeka festival in kenya. the e.p is 4 cuts that build in brilliance from the original which has extremely broad appeal. indian producer daisho delivers a straight ahead 4 x 4 house groover, south-london production duo modified man swing their analogue machines into action for a heady synth adventure, which is just a bit broken. berlin-based duo of dirk leyers and dj nomad (hans reuschl) are the ideal pairing to merge technology and tradition together as africaine808 bring up the rear with a balearic sensation to round off the ep. makadem is a talented musician and vibrant performing artist from kenya. he s a figurehead of the benga scene in nairobi. his stage presence and powerful vocal delivery, had him likened to the legendary fela kuti. makadem innovates by bringing traditional african instrumentation, story telling and contemporary production methods together.

the next ep on just this comes from octual, an established figure on the dutch underground techno circuit. his 3rd release to date is an exploration into melody and beat composition – a journey through uncharted territory. “jupiter’s moon” presents a fleeting view of different landscapes - claps and hi-hats depict the lights and shadows of a sublunary word. “untold places” reaches an otherworldly place where rhythm and metre counteract each other and obscure sounds sway us in and out of reality. amsterdam based electronic pioneer sterac provides two remixes, analysing and repurposing the molecular details of octual’s productions. his first rework of ‘jupiter’s moon’ provides a stunning and heartfelt view, exploring the intersection of each artist’s approach. for the dub version he reveals a darker sentiment, creating a dancefloor oriented secret weapon.

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.

dritte und letzte 12inch auskopplung aus dem aktuellen booka shade-album galvany street mit archive-sänger craig walker. während loneliest boy an die genialen pop-ohrwurm-qualitäten der pet shop boys erinnert, bewegt sich das bislang unveröffentlichte just like tonight in richtung der besten momente von new order. beide tracks erscheinen in unveröffentlichten single(pop) und extended(club)-mixes und komplettieren als quasi doppel-a-seiten-maxi in perfekter weise die aktuelle 12inch trilogie von booka shade mit craig walker.

arvid whetman has plenty going for him at the moment. as sexazoid he s dropping all kinds of off-kilter machine beats on excellent labels like born free, while as your planet is next he builds on appearances on junk yard connections, waving hands, opal tapes, studio barnhus and klasse to deliver this chirpy four-tracker to acid waxa. from the twee vocals to the playful synths and straight up drums, this is club music crafted for an immediate hit. whetman makes this approach work magnificently though, liberally applying his musical personality to lo-fi deep house and roughshod acid, with heartbreaker being a firm favourite thanks to its fulsome 303 bassline and hooky vocal mantras.

social experiment regular jonathan lee is back with a standout fourth release for the imprint. here he delivers four driving club cuts aimed squarely at the dance floor and once again showcases his intimately production style to perfect effect. the raw grooves that are the trademark of jonathan s sound are on show once again, but there is a subtle evolution as this exciting producer’s sonic palette just gets better and better. don t sleep on this.

if mega-psychedelic tripping house excursions are your thing then it s entirely possible that derrick carter s sound patrol orchestra may have exactly what you need. no exaggeration. tripping among the stars indeed. the other version of this jam lifted from the sweetened - no lemon lp from 1994 is maybe a little better known, but these mixes right here are worthy of all your attention too! 3 non-stop funk excursions into the cosmos with derrick and co. joining you and guiding you with their cosmic voices. it s hard to pick a favourite as all included are very different beasts yet somehow essential. honestly, this ep kinda shits on most things that you may hear currently and this stuff is from 1997. the still trippin mix is definitely a standout, a free, weaving, 12 minute plus colliding jam that just opens up and evolves real lovely, exactly the kind of record you want to hear around 7am on a smoky dance-floor somewhere. pure after hours perfection. the other mixes are just as potent, with a heavy cowbell laden dc dub mix that s brimming over with live drums and handclaps and a superb bass laden wamdue kids mix that takes off into the stratosphere of deep. basically, this whole record has it covered. literally, it shouldn t leave your bag anytime soon. essential new (old) school chicago gear that just won t quit. thank the heavens we all get the chance to trip again with this beautiful repress! essential. remastered and repressed with the involvement and welcome assistance of the mr.derrick carter, chicago usa.

it s all going on for cervo at the moment. having just launched the banana hill label with an excellent record from majid bekkas (that he also did an edit for), the uk-based producer has now been snapped up by marcel vogels lumberjacks in hell label to drop more of his worldly edit science. on rhythm leads the charge with confidence on the a-side, using a bubbling, afro-infused disco-funk source and making it lean and mean for the floor. there s a distinctly nigerian lilt to the guitars that cluck away through dancing dream, but it s accompanied by bright chiming chords and a solid beat that will stand up to any contemporary house jam. banku is even more explicitly modern, although still layered up with gorgeous vocals and percussion from africa

lead track(s) from a forthcoming artist album due to drop later in the year ,) deep rumbling bass complemented with skippy 808 drums, an ever evolving organ line and a gospel vocal. from chicago… with love! a.a

from ras_g: “the god spell beat tape just happened. i always make quick freestyle beats at work. i work at a “wrekastow” so i m always surrounded and listening to random records and after my bluntch breaks. i would come in make a few quick joints on my spaceprogram 303 and i just ran thru the gospel section that round and in 2 weeks i had. the gospel of the godspell.”

elizabeth merrick-jefferson is one of those artists who seem low-key. theres not a lot of information about her, if any, except for the existence of the first two records and a lone interview. one released in 2013 and the other in 2014. listening to either record tells you her music might be a lot of things, but low-key isnt one of them. powerful and colourful, direct, and with 313 references embedded in its dna, she pulls it off with style. elizabeths third record is no exception. it has found its home on our mothership label, burek. three happiness is tailor-made for the dance floor. it wont leave anyone with a pulse standing. playful synths, wonderful strings, and infectious groove make it impossible to ignore. knowledge revolution is layered and paced, painting a somewhat different picture. melancholy and a sense of mystery envelop this track, whose leitmotif vocal appears just frequently enough to provide insight into the title. the last track of this ep is fittingly titled noctilucent clouds. its a drumless track with a rhythmic main synth counterpointed by sounds which give off the impression of clouds shining through the darkness of winter nights. another amazing release from burek.

ihre geschichte ist ein wahres hip-hop-märchen: bei einem photoshooting trafen sich hip-hop-king notorious b.i.g., einer der bis heute weltweit einflussreichsten rapper, und rap-queen faith evans zum ersten mal - neun tage später feierten sie bereits ihre hochzeit. damit begann die wohl legendärste aller love-storys der hip-hop-geschichte, die bis zum (bis heute unaufgeklärten) brutalen mord an b.i.g. andauerte.
zwanzig jahre danach schuf faith evans jetzt das album “the king & i”, das die geschichte ihres gemeinsamen lebens erzählt. es enthält neue vocals von faith, die im studio mit der originalstimme von biggie smalls zusammengeführt wurde - teils bekannte, teils selten gehörte oder gar nie veröffentlichte rhymes aus b.i.g.s archiven. dazu kommen etliche gastfeatures von weggefährten des rap-traumpaars und anderen mitgliedern des hip-hop-adels, darunter busta rhymes, jadakiss, lil’ cease, lil’ kim, sheek louch, styles p und snoop dogg.

we hit you with the second single from jimpsters acclaimedsilent stars lp loaded with the good stuff! the album has received much love from djs and critics alike and its clear that after 25 years in the business jamie odell retains his reputation as one of the most talented and consistent electronic artists in the uk. as a&r and dj he also boasts a fine ear for emerging talent and here he hands over the reigns to two hotly tipped producers to rework his originals. first up we have the incredible peggy gou who takes on the sun comes up ft. jinadu.her speedy rise through the ranks over the past 12 months has been down to just a handful of brilliant eps on rekids and phonica and her skills as a club dj. the berlin based korean sits somewhere between detroit, london and berlin in sound and her dj sets are an assured, kinetic combination of dark, pulsing house and techno, broken beats and abstract compositions. her influences shine through on her remix which goes deep and musical whilst retaining an energetic drive for the dancefloor. perhaps the most mesmerizing, floor-focused track from the lp is up next, silent stars. an electronic tribal dance which builds to a speaker-wobbling sub-bass breakdown and wonderful chord section at the climax. next, a remix from west coast native urulu who came to jimpsters attention through his releases on lets play house, dirt crew and his own amadeus label. trying to describe his remix of where you areft. khalil anthony is no easy task, fusing elements of techno, broken beat and afro house, but check it out and if you can think of a suitable new sub genre to pigeonhole it with, let us know. closing the release we have the slow-burning, balearic-tinged beauty known as the sun comes up featuring jinadu on vocals. this is one to drop in the warm after-glow of a crazy night under the stars when tired legs and happy hearts crave a soulful groove to give them one last lift.

with just one 7inch release to their name in the form of the 1981 release, jive baby on a saturday night, the cult of the jellies was possibly accidentally assured with the long lost song being rediscovered by collectors and championed by sonic youth s thurston moore no less. picked up and reissued by the stellar trunk records in 2010, the b-side cut, however, was sadly overlooked. now emotional rescue are proud to license the conversation and remaster it especially for this rerelease. based around a simple drum and bass rhythm, interspersed with crowd noise, playful female vocal yelps and sprinkled with dub effects thrown in to the mix and you wouldn t probably think too much would be going for a track that the band put together in the last two hours of their studio time after jive baby had been completed. however, what you get is a killer gem of pop-punk-dub oddness that gets your head nodding to its infectious, repetitive rhythm laden with effects. with just this one (perfect) track available for license it seemed only right to hand it over to the in-house production team, apophenia, to do their increasingly trademark dubbed out reworking, this time in the form of a true, but respectful version for the flip. with both members of the jellies sadly now living overseas this piece of early 80s british dub as it were, can now be fully treasured for posterity while also, proving a nice little smokers delight.

next up on hell yeah is -the most balearic record i have ever released- according to label boss & it comes from japan s disco don max essa which features a four part track, themes from the hood, the cad, & the lovely, on one side of vinyl, and two more on the flip. essa was born matthew bruce and the uk artist has now been releasing his blissed out beats on labels like feel music, electric minds, bear funk and is it balearic? recording for a decade. a prolific producer whose big hits like panorama suite/uptown vibration (is it balearic?) from 2010 have long been in the hell yeah boss s record bag, essa first approached the label with a bunch of tracks. a good correspondence alchemy ensued and together the artist and label decided to put out the most timeless 12inch possible. the exquisitely ambitious themes from the hood, the cad, & the lovely is almost 12 minutes of serene ambient synth work that is like a soundtrack to a hot summer s day. heavenly chords sound just like a breathy female vocal and as they come and go, one finger piano tinkles add real emotional beauty and gentle twinkles shimmer in the distance. half way through lazy drums propel things along at a loveably lethargic pace and immediately place you on the beach. on the flip, saguaro is just as organic and beautiful, but has tumbling drums, wooden hits and soft claps as well as essa s magical synth work all bathing your soul in warm rays. b2 buran chime is perfectly horizontal and expansive, with tinkling triangles, angelic chords and scattered hits and harpsichord sounds all radiating effusively. this is timeless music that will calm busy minds now and forever.

excellent detroit house madness, decks tip!

the second single from the cultures of soul compilation, boogie breakdown: south african disco 1980 to 1984, benjamin ball’s -i just keep dancing- is a synth and drum machine-fueled track that also reveals ball as one of south africa’s earliest rappers. boston-bred djs, soul clap provide an excellent rework of the track adding some big room club flavor to the track for djs around the world. soul clap are the globe trotting dj duo of eli goldstein and charles levine who ve done everything from headlining clubs in ibiza to creating dj mix albums for fabric and dj kicks to making records with george dj/producer and co-founder of the running back label, gerd janson provides two funked up rerubs of the track, one with vocals and one without. licensed directly from the artist and housed in a custom disco sleeve these edits won t be available on the compilation.

pisetzky s full debut album on just this includes adventures into contemporary techno music, fines ambient works, and unique broken pieces. an intense mixture of incredible warmth, weird fluffiness, mystic trumpets and high uplifts, the album is interspersed with short ambient and fragmentated interludes, each just a few minutes long: ‘state of consciousness’ and ‘tears of a rough machine’ are serene and reflective tracks that give the listener time to breathe and bringing him/her back to more dancefloor focused tracks of the lp like viridis, bakwas and wand. the result is a magic story, a history in eleven chapters that the listener is guided through, like the landscapes of a mystic journey, with a twist on the melodies and hidden effects behind every deep bass sound.

doppel-ep auf pink & blau gefärbtem vinyl, inklusive downloadcode für das komplette release plus bonus-track „that thing“.
zum einen sind da die verschwommenen, direkten songs von „never going home“ mit denen hazel english ihre erste aufmerksamkeit erlangte, zum anderen ist auf „just give in“ die blühende, kreative partnerschaft mit jackson philips (aka day wave) zu hören. die beiden trafen sich, als hazel in ihrer wahlheimat oakland in einem buchladen arbeitete und jackson, auf dem weg seinen synthesizer reparieren zu lassen, kurz vorbeischaute. die beiden kamen ins gespräch und beschlossen kurz darauf zusammen musik zu machen. eine zufallsbekanntschaft ohne die diese doppel-ep vermutlich nie zu stande gekommen wäre. jeder der songs hat eine zeitlose, sonnengeküsste Ästethik inne, die von hazels direktem stil und ihrer pop-sensibilität nochmals hervorgehoben wird. hochansteckender dream-pop trifft auf ehrliches songwriting. auf einem beach-pop-fundament aufbauend schafft es hazel english mit „just give in / never going home“ einen vibe zu erschaffen, der sich in jeder umgebung wohlfühlt.

over the past five years velvet season & the hearts of gold have laid down all manner of sizzling disco edit grooves that veer into spaced out, cosmic territory, but on this new joint for blue velvet they aim for the jugular with an abundance of cheeky licks from familiar sources. angel dust is set to get all manner of parties going wild with its classic hooks, while turn me on takes a smoother approach into romantic climes with equally recognisable sounds repurposed for the modern dancefloor. the samples may be easy to spot, but that just makes this records appeal even more universal.

ofo the rock company (originally known as ofo the back company) were nigeria’s first acid-rock band. blending hendrix and deep purple with shamanism and a pro-black philosophy, they cut their teeth at fela kuti’s afrika shrine, developing a fearsome live reputation that intimidated every other band in lagos. no one wanted to follow the guys from ofo, not even fela himself.
