b-stock! one corner is broken. bolstered by the unshakable body of work behind it, brooklyn-born berlin-based techno label chronicle reaches its milestone tenth release with its gaze fixed dead ahead. ten releases in, it pays to make a strong, defiant statement of intent, toasting to what the label has been about so far. more important though is to remind those tuned in to take heed, because the next step is always the most significant. from the artists crafting the music at its beating heart to the all-important design that packages the records, chronicle is a label that pulls no punches in its creative vision. given that the vision in question matches unbridled futurism with elegance and intensity, consider this a warning is a fitting title for a salvo of sounds that set the tone for where chronicle will head in its coming chapters.
the double 12 inch includes a cd, featuring all traks from the vinyl plus 6 bonus tracks.

with his accomplished barcelona ep having turned the heads of seth troxler, maya jane coles, ben pearce and maribou state among many others, church head honcho seb wildblood returns with a hugely assured ep that matches his nascent labels promising recent output.

next up on !organism is italian techno purist vincenzo palumbo aka irregular synth - a producer whos unwavering focus on the dancefloor has shot him up through the ranks in recent years. his boisterous synthetic sounds come on labels like perfekt groove recordings and the likes of richie hawtin support almost everything he releases. here forest people are also enlisted to remix. another fine paring on organism! that matches the veteran skills of irregular synth with the soon to break through ideals of forest people.

ambivalent & michael l penman debut on ovum with *shimmer*. having found a very fruitful collaborative friendship, michael l penman and ambivalent (aka kevin mchugh) have begun exploring the intersection of their approaches to music-making. they originally connected when kevin discovered michaels music in 2010. after playing many of his productions in his dj sets and including them in a mix-cd (_ground) release for minus, kevin made contact and the pair began exchanging files and swapping ideas. this led to time in the studio together and yet more file exchanges. quickly a natural creative balance emerged as they found that their production techniques were complementary as is their shared love of groove, bass and musicality. for their ovum debut the duo have delivered a trio of tracks that have those three elements at their core. title track shimmer brings together raw jackin funk with a warm driving bassline and scything techy stabs whilst chevalier matches its fun bouncy groove with an infectious and spritely melody. final track memogram comes heavy with the oldskool, delivering a bed of beats and samples beneath the very heaviest of acid-kicks. not for the feint of heart!

support by: damian lazarus, kerry chandler, moodymanc, waff, dirty channels, jonny cade, claudio coccoluto, wildkats, ekkohaus, quintessentials, waifs & strays, julien sandre, nathan g, gorgon city, uglh, & more. for our second release, silence in metropolis turns to paraguayan producer p lopez

there s only one thing that matches a new my love is underground 12 - a remastered pressing of one of the label s certified hits! paris underground trax volume 1 was one of the records that catapulted the french label into the spotlight - at the time produced anonymously, it later emerged that mr brawther was the man behind the four retro house cuts. it s a wonderful homage to the deeper strains of 90s new jersey, nyc underground and sexy thing remix still smack of kerri chandler at his most bumping, with fat pads, sultry vocals and gritty basslines. the b-side features uptempo gem hardcore deep house , while gtfo! glides along with warm, embracing chords. if you missed out first time round, don t make the same mistake again.

the 40 thieves turn up in lengs back garden for a bit of late night skulduggery. kicking off side-a with >backward love<, a deep wobble of dub guitars, weird out fx, large 80s synth lines and lovely throbbing bass, more than enough to get people freaky. on side-b, >crystal mountain thunder< has a genius intro of ambient electronic atmosphere, which gives way to another slug of late-night dub wonkiness, with massive guitars and a hefty drumkit. as expected, a meaty joint of late night disco, for the murkier end of the dance-floor. we hear an album is coming up and if it matches the quality of this release then weve got a veritable treat on its way. check!

here comes a highgrade split ep. marcus homm and ludwig coenen share the honours on one record, and instead of competing for the glory, both producers compliment each other perfectly. markus homm, the global player, starts off as assured as ever with another great track. golden glow rolls towards a dramatic stage for hysteria. homm takes the listener in with a heavy and richly sweet narrative style. matches brings even more excitement, pushing forward with brilliantly entangled sounds that hit you more in the hips than the stomach, telling a tale of promise in the early morning hours. ludwig coenen, the man from infamous frankfurt, brings dancing into the realms of the zoo! with its not a zoo he manages to combine various sounds into a funky and functional harmony. the 2nd track mind your head breaks the standard mould and uses a broad sound palette to construct a new and unique field of maximum funk.

2009 has seen a slew of new detroit producers in what is turning out to be a stunning year of activity for the citys dance music. as the area experiences another test of its collective mettle, these musicians have emerged with some fresh insights. its detroits new wave, and its happening at a time when everyone wants to know whats really going on in the 313. as always planet e is on this wave with monty luke. following up releases on claude von strokes mothership music label, luke transplanted from california to detroit, shunning grace for grit and delivers his first offering for planet e, >art, love & war.< the labels first release since the 69 box set, >art, love & war< matches deep, stark piano stabs with sharp expansive drum hits, its upfront, its beat-driven, its for the dancefloor. the fantastic carl craig remix on the flip throws jagged edges of the original around in unexpected ways, its the first c2 remix on planet e since his epic remake of martin buttrichs >stoned autopilot<

nice price deal !!! debox welcomes another exceptional artist. 24 year old talent christian schwarz delivers a debut that easily matches the production standard of guys that have been in the business for years and clearly stands out from the monthly pile of same sounding tracks. before you told me, which features christians own vocals comes along with fat analog synth sounds, dark atmosphere and a detail orientation and emotional depth which reminds of trentemoeller or swyazak. the massive remix package features versions by spanish dj legend memo and the london based producer duo dzeta n basile. memo combines the original with pumping house grooves and a spoonful of retro coolness to an extremely danceable mixture while dzeta n basile fragmentize the catchy vocals, creating a hypnotic, tribal infected minimal track which will surely have the same effect on the dancefloor. last but not least sternenfänger (starcatcher ) takes the listener on a journey through a strange soundgarden, following the beat along beautifully distorted structures and experimental contrasts.

a digital hip hop dub floor shaker we rewind is impossible to resist, flore matches rodney ps good time vocal flow with woofer wobbling and 8bit bleeps. not forgetting the 4/4 bass line, b more, breakbeat mash up crew (!) flore throws down a rocking n rolling club mix of we rewind, guaranteed to set any floor alight! on the flip flore lays it down with the kuduro infected the test teaming up with shunda k of silver tongued hip hop duo yo! majesty (domino records). shunda k has worked with deekline, kotchy, peaches (xl/beggars banquet) and featured in a 2 page spread and nmes cool list number 41.

played by: baby ford, trickski, julius steinhoff, anthony collins, philip bader, dirty doering, lil tony, kotelett & zadak, karotte,.. _ very special one sided 12 inch_ once again the latest white release is a reinvention of the label itself and pre-announces its early ending years in advance. this release is a very special one... it is from oliver ton and can be understood as the >very last number of the night<, that is why it is catalogued as the white- 999. oliver ton invited many musicians for jamming sessions into the studio of his production partner >ronald christoph<, in order to create a unique sounding. the final results are >hasta el fin< a song, which will turn every afterhour upside down, especially during summer! the song simply has it all. we love its humor and see it as an ironic statement of the minimalhouse hype.... thats why it matches so beautiful to white... or not.... and thats what we love about it, say the creators of white.

stephan strube from eastern germany and sven schallers label 6 feet under seems to be a logical connection. known for his experimantal sound mixed up with different styles, he matches perfectly to this label, which is also known for the crazy, stomping, weird techno sounds. the head of high headz records shows us why he is getting more and more in the spotlight of eastern techno music.

side a of the 4th record from monotone leidenschaft provides furore. the producer newbee ash cawlin proofs once more his potential with this track. with wondrous slight devices and a very long breath he is able to design a timeless minimal techno sound, which reminds a little on g-man. with the track leda he provides a genuine hit potential more than the presence as a dj-tool. jack else aka subtronic produced a really succeeded and modern track, which matches perfectly between functionality, friskiness and brightness as well as between techno and minimal sound. the blowing groove is always multi-layered and a little capricious. in spite of that it radiates a defeating naturalness, which is slowly burning into the brain. the new track provides the typical heavy, pushing beats, which let you step on the same position. along with it there are endless traces of crackling and rustling

philly gypsy-swamp-rock-carny -soul-viking-vaudeville -punk collective. this record matches the fierce energy of their non-stop live show

incl hot d.i.m. remix !! the cooperation between dance experts luuk cox and jimmy dewit became a term in a very short time. they proudly present their new single, >heartccore<. this is a school example of a direct hit, the title matches the music perfectly.

john daly is a young cork, ireland lad currently based in london. the title track is a deep and soothing slow burner of exquisite proportions. melodic keyboards combine with shakers and congas setting a nice vibe-y tech house tone. >do it< is more of a minimal tech house number, topped off with the essence of dub and iron percussion. subtlety is the key hereas this moody number builds with tense strings, deep pads and iron percussion. the last track >too much pressure< takes the classic deep house sound and brings it to the 07 dancefloor. very much like nu groove or chicago tracks, starting off with nice organ riffs, it matches delicate melodies with wooden beats and a 80 s r&b vibe that is as sensual as it is groovy

brand new album by paul braendle

time will tell. true words reflecting the artistic and mainly personal metamorphosis klaudia gawlas has gone through in recent years. the result is her second album ÒvisionÓ in which she approaches a place she calls home in a musical context. the energetic but at the same time deeper and more sophisticated sound of ãvisionÒ is proof the she has taken a big step towards reaching the artistic level her true inner self has been striving for. as so often in life a strong vision leads to a very pure form of motivation, which finally turns wishful thinking into action. vision is a straight statement and commitment to the roots of techno. something that matches pretty well what klaudia gawlas is known to stand for. vision. 11 tracks, released on cd

austin-based vvv is one of a new wave of garage producers whose music actually feels like an honest mixture of vintage and modern touches, rather than a trend-hopper looking to capitalize on a few dubstepforum fruity loops tutorials. he s an artist who happily mixes and matches signifiers, lacing his productions with subtle streaks of colour and leading them into unexpected detours. over the course of across the sea vvv swings from gleeful todd edwards-style vocal mush (-aisle seat-) to sepalcure-esque house-tinged workouts like -retreated- to more experimental fare. on tracks like -stuck between- or the stumbling punch-drunk jungle of -duration of light-Ñwhere breaks crash through filtered soul samples and cause ripples like dominoesÑhe always keeps the tracks backbone intact while doing some of the weirdest things to bass music youll hear this side of machinedrum. across the sea doesnt have the same visionary outlook as room(s), but it shares that albums embrace of fine-tuned sequencing and development. the tender, reflective moments that occasionally pop up are its best, whether its that memorable opener or the fogged-glass beats of -among the whispers,- which admittedly sounds a little like burial but higher-definition, with high-strung chords recalling netsky more than untrue. the albums closer -all that weve been through- nicely sums up the proceedings, throwing an out-of-context piano on top of another burial-esque beat loaded up with reverb yet still cutting clear as day. its perfectly representative of vvvs aesthetic: his debut album isnt always made up of entirely original ingredients, but like any good chef, he knows how to present it in a way thats irresistibly appetizing.
