reissue

giant records 10th release is from new york born adam collins and limited to 150 hand stamped and numbered copies. adam is widely known for his work as one half of production duo omni am, along with marky star and counts derrick carter and evil eddie richards and a whole host of others, amongst their fans. adam�s release for giant is titled - day2day and has all the trademark�s of adam�s wonky, left of field, slightly off kilter grooves - day2day builds and snakes itself into a bottom bass heavy house jam - chicago style keys mould the snare and hats into an infectious work out - with an alien like hook that keeps it all slightly wobbly. the next cut is from the super talented carl finlow under carl�s random factor guise, a beauty in its own right ! super tight drums and a punchy random factor bassline take�s this mix on a journey through many shades of electronica - as the track swells nicely with warm atmospheric pads and sprinkles of emotive keys, with an electro style hook that keep�s it all swinging in carl�s trademark sound. the next mix is from la based producer mieka du franx. mieka�s mix strips the original down to the bare essentials and gives it a tuff minimal feel. the last mix is from echo of glory, which see�s echo take the track on a acid tinged work out - adding dubbed out vocals and super subbed out bass.

carsten nicolais practice investigates the boundaries between visual and audio art forms within an integrated artistic approach. influenced by scientific reference systems, nicolai often engages mathematical patterns such as grids and codes, as well as error, randomisation and self-organising structures.

>beaten< is the first track to be released from random factor�s new album and comes with excellent art of tones remixes.carl a finlow again shows his history and pedigree as well as his refusal to jump on bandwagons and trends by producing timeless electronic music inspired more by kraftwerk, yello, stockhausen, tomita, prince, sakamoto, brian eno and the white noise than by what�s playing this summer at dc10. ralph lawson used >beaten< as the last track on his recent 2020vision compilation. this jerky sporadic groove gives a nod to the forefathers while holding down a beat anyone would be proud of. the single comes complete with remixes from art of tones, fresh after last year�s huge >praise<. this mystery outfit has now signed to 2020vision and this is the first of many bombs from them. art of tones take the track directly to the dancefloor and produce two versions that would slay berlin�s panorama bar at 9 on a sunday morning.

carl finlow could be regarded as one of the cornerstones of not only 20/20 vision, but also of british electronic music. his boundary pushing, electro-tinged productions under the random factor alias make for essential 20/20 listening, as does his work as 1/4 of 2020soundsystem. while this year has been about looking to the future of the label, we also felt it was important that we looked deep into our history and revisited one of our all time classic records: random factor � broken mirror. on the a side carl has prepared a new �revisted� version for this release and this is accompanied by the original version from 1999. for the remixer we thought long and hard about someone we felt would be suitable. someone with pedigree in the electro scene, who would feel as passionate as we do about making this release something truly special. there was only really one person we wanted and luckily when we contacted legowelt he was a big fan of the original track and was super keen to get onboard the project. we hope you enjoy these two pioneers of the electro scene going head to head x

carl finlow aka random factor has been doing deep house before they called it deep house. as a staple on 20/20 vision record in the last 90s he made a name for himself with his off the beaten path production that took europe underground sceen by a storm. we are super excited to have finally tracked mr. finlow down in 2015 and put together an amazing ep that has his signature sound written all over it. our seasons recordings imprint is proud to present *subterranean ep*. enjoy the underground tone and remember to play it loud!

limited backstock of this 2002 electro/breaks album by monophace aka niederflur for kanzleramts sublabel k2o.

the first release >baron< reveals to the audience what minimal music should refer to: not minimizing a song to mere sounds but rather focusing on the essentials. ric janvier melds pithy lyrics, an impulsive bassline and aristocratic effects into an opus which lets every dancefloor crowd melt away. further spiced with remixes by legendary random factor and a local frankfurt duo known as möwüller, the baron is unleashed to clubs.

excellent tech funk remixes by the emperor machine !!!

after their immensely strong last single i know what its like (to be a dog) and cheeky debut no hands no teeth australian rising stars >stick figures< turn up the pressure with an electro house dancefloor bomb! useless is a dark and twisted club rocker with rolling basslines, dark analogue leads and chunky drums custom built for large sound systems. swing sixty retains the darkness in deeper tech house mood with hints of tastefully restrained acid. flip for a wickedly building 45rpm remix of useless by parisian producer random factor that compliments the original perfectly - tough, deep and uncompromising

random factor teams up with blue-eyed soul favourite georg levin ( sonar kollektiv ) for a exciting mixture of oldschoolish, chicago style house and classic vocal delivery. fred everything comes up with a bumping house re-rub and new mastersounds re-build the tune as an original sounding 70's rare groover.

repress - ive never met rod modell (deepchord) in person, but we have met through music. he found an obscure cassette of chi music (from 86), sent it to astral industries and paved the way for the release (30 years later) of the original recordings in 2016. since then, weve exchanged ideas and good music. i sent rod a preview of the kallikatsou recordings - he really liked it - and here came the idea for a remix of lanterns. i started working on some random, lo-fi samples from youtube, using audacity, perhaps the simplest way of producing loops and samples. it�s the only computer based system that feels like the tape recorders i used to work with. i sent the first sketches to rod on facebook, but they ended up in the wrong inbox. i forgot about them, but months later he came back saying he loved them. i decided to go back to working on them, maintaining the lo-fi approach. i began manipulating the samples: time-stretching, tempo and pitch-shifting, mixing different layers and adding old-school monophonic old speaker effects, delays and loops. i used a few field recordings, voices and samples from my early ambient cassettes, and they matched. ario from astral industries got involved and the experiment turned into a plan a vinyl release - red lantern at the kallkatsou.

up next on trouble maker we have got some intergalactic riddims courtesy of newcomer cosmic weirdos - extra terrestrial. the aptly named >renegade< keeps things cool on the inside and rowdy on the outside....somewhere between electro & techno this is the track nasa have been trying to discover for the past decade. >satisfaction< takes us on a trip around jupiter and finds itself disco dancing with unidentified alien lifeforms. on the remix we have got someone who definitely knows a thing or two about inter-dimensional space travel - mr carl finlow aka random factor aka silicon scally - who serves up exactly the kind of quality you would expect from the captain of the starship enterprise. the truth is out there...

acid test continues their journey with the return of achterbahn damour. on their first proper release in three years, jool & iron curtis patiently craft an intricate sound world - with the opening track, major-key pads hearken towards a bright future, hi-hats rustle like leaves and on dehaveland, percussive elements fall into beautiful, random unison like factory machines staging an after hours dance. samuel van dijks vaunted vc-118a project steps up for a remix, turning in a taut techno version that unfurls smoke pillars of ghostly ambience. the duo wraps up the four-tracker with an unexpected dreamy electro turn, dont talk to me. throughout acid test 13, they remain in lockstep with the labels ethos - to bend, hammer and flatten acid lines into new, imaginative shapes

it is very difficult to present david duriez without writing an encyclopedic tome as its influence on the house music in france was decisive. since its inception in 1992, david released over a hundred records under his name, tens under various pseudonyms, mainly on vinyls on the most renowned labels like 2020vision, ovum, systematic, pokerflat, f communication, under the counter, stickman, crosstown rebels, the end, etc .. (the list is long, see discogs.com to be convinced) and as many remixes for some of the greatest artists (think moby, dj sneak, gemini, dj hell, llorca, telex, random factor, johnny fiasco, paul johnson, jori hulkkonen, ralph lawson, random factor, kenny hawkes or mr.c). founder of the label brique rouge and a whole galaxy of other labels, he participated in the creation of internationally recognized labels such as robsoul with phil weeks, freak n chic with dan ghenacia (from apollonia) or rz muzik. at a time when david had federated online the cream of the house producers via a forum (far and long before social networks), ivan smagghe had nicknamed him -the producer of the producers.- , a true house music activist, but most of all david duriez is a devastating dancefloor dj, he did several tours around the world and played in some of the biggest clubs in the world between 1995 and 2010. truly one of the most important players in the french electro scene, david is back on tracks after a few years hyatus. but don t call it a comeback because he has never really gone awol, he has been watching the scene and now he s back in the studio. you can expect a (very) long serie of releases for 2016, you have been warned!

billy nasty�s electrix records launches its 2016 schedule by welcoming back the always impressive, carl finlow. carl is one of dance music�s leading lights and a multi-talented producer across a range of genres, with releases stretching back to the early 90s. well known for the 2020 vision label he launched with ralph lawson, his solo work however has often taken an electro route with releases under various guises like random factor, black labs, voice stealer, silicon scally and scarletron (with daz quayle) on labels including warp, fuel, playhouse, paper, trope, sony, klang, arista, soma, scsi, pagan, minifunk, seventh sign and satamile. it�s been almost 3 years since carl appeared on electrix. his �boot loop ep� became the label�s second release after its re-launch in 2013. but it�s definitely been worth the wait. his �electricology 4 ep� once again shows why he�s a master of the genre. from the tough and funked-up �lateral thoughts�, speckled and melodic �hyperloop�, squelching, bassy �suspect reanimation� and sinister, beat-driven �latext�, right through to the playful �atomic level� (a bonus track for the digital release), the ep shines, with a stamp of high quality running though its core.

pure electro from sync 24 on electrix, including remixes by carl finlow (aka random factor aka silicon scally) and the exaltics.

nice price deal !!! essential & deep album by the man monoder aka jussi pekka! timeless beauty ! monoder. born in the cold north among industrial warehouses, people wearing only gray and random rabbits crossing the streets. his home town has two-lane streets which were made for the mass movement that never happened. physically close to civilization but mentally light years away. with the economic regression hitting hard, the town is filled with unemployed and old people wandering the streets and trying to find out what went wrong. like zombies of a mental desert. monoder. though the name sounds familiar, he has nothing to do with italodisco or electropop. the music, as the name, is filled with cold, stripped down and hypnotic atmospheres. taking you on a trip filled with hunger, cold breeze, forests and frozen tundra. the studio is on the roof-level of abandoned rubber factory, where disillusioned entrepreneurs try to get their daily bread doing what ever. moist pushing from the sealing and walls. water dripping during the mixdown. someone pulling cargo in the hallway.
