in celebration of the 10th anniversary of “force fed” we have teamed up with fat beats to release this limited edition colored vinyl. “the debut album from ide the shanty one, “force fed” is a verbal maelstrom whipping through the placid seas of 21st century underground hip-hop with thunderous beats and lightning-strike lyrics. ide displays his furious command of the mic over 23 dark and storming beats, his imaginative and visceral word-warping and unrelenting flow striking listeners with gut-punch directness.

did you ever hear about christian strobe? no? hardly surprising, cause its a brand new solo-project by christian schnall, one half of disco trash music (maximal electro) and spruce (dreamy shoegaze). the german guy is musically rooted in the 80ies and early 90ies and as christian strobe, he combines airy new wave pop, retro-futurism with a pinch of house. the original mix of >midnight call< is full of magic, desire and an airy atmosphere, but still a simple pop song. the nightdrive version is recommended for nightly rides with your ferrari testarossa through big city lights. the italo-disco-pop-masters from codebreaker gives the original a funky french taste and reknowned keenhouse conjured a good-feeling remix with lovley summer-piano-chords. midnight call? you could name it sunshine call! in a more and more digital environment, the warmth of the analog vhs-tape version gives you the relaxing mood you need. the placid >lonesome astronaut< completed the debut-ep and takes you to a cosmic trip though time and space. stay tuned for the upcoming full-length album called >heartworks< in autumn 2011.

re.face limited inaugurates its first release on vinyl with a unique 4 tracker ep titled lost. authors of this work the italians re_named, creative and talented resident of one of the strongest national night-life realities, zu::club, based in pescara. if lost, eponymous ep track, condenses in itself the thrill of a hopeful search of quiet serenity, united seals the safety of a placid finding, conclusion of an introspective journey to the discovery of a significant identity of its own. on the other side, the remixes of sakro and jack wickham consistently run through the same vein, a current that leaves way of surrender, but never tragically lost.

dm003 gets the black maths series off the ground. black maths is all about the most introspective of the rhythms that can get the dance floor on fire. one artist per side displaying their separate musical universes with one common link: mystery. a mystery that goes from placid to oppressive, sometimes even bordering on unnerving. black maths is above all an exciting journey through sound.
