artefact - a smooth groover that has all the markings of a great producer. it’s a smooth groove machine, percussive and acidic in equal measure.
drag you inside a hole - is percussive again, with his hall mark signature groove, it’s infectious as it is long, a great booming techno number.
no merci - a peak time affair, booming and dark, think aliens, it’s the title for a reason, it stomps and delivers.
shelter - a breaks outing, subtle and melodic. a perfect finishing or opening track to a set, and one of our favourites on this release. it’s as magic as it is prophetic, simplistic beauty at it’s best.

phat golem shelter edits

(180 gr) the fourth in international feels minialbum series is by shelter aka alan briand, a young parisian producer with a strong melodic centre producing a sound that pulls on the zouk, the afro, the balearic and the ambient palette

shelter invites you to visit his secret and mysterious island through two tracks : a balearique travel between psychedelic rock , asian and african music, with disco and house influence.

ubers latest offering is a sublime 5 track ep from french producer shelter. sailing on a black sea is a drifting piece of ambient electronica. late night stargazing on the deck with the waves gently lapping on the shore. sad beach continues with the layered textures with a little more of a percussive feel. through the desert land is shimmering mesmerising journey through the dunes with loose congas soft guitars and a hypnotic jews harp. seaport theme continues the coastal vibrations but with a touch of bounce and uplifting choral vocal stabs and louche pads. finally water plain closes the journey with kalimbas and xylophonic melodies and the contining theme of phosphoescent seas and soothing synth sounds. a very accopmlished slice of beach bar balearica destined for sunsets around the med for years to come.

last year saw the mysterious garage shelter make their debut appearance on skylax, and little is still known about them! all we know is they are back with some freshness on the skylax classic sublabel. first up is bring back love, a track that will sink its claws in with that infectious vocal sample hook. sticking with the old school sample vibe is the lonely heart dub of attempt, it’s a bit more mellow but still has plenty of groove in it. friend of the garage shelter, dj la foudre, appears over on the b side with it’s alright (signal st mix). still on that catchy sample tip, it features one of the grooviest bassline and funky guitar pairings i’ve heard in a long time. next up, perception 66 is a smooth house affair from yet another friend, asa no hikari. rounding out the package is garage shelter’s own you (still), a dreamy pad-driven track that may indeed be the pick of the release. while we don’t know much about garage shelter, we can’t help but look forward to what they come out with next!

clint stewarts * shelter ep* ist gleichzeitig ein meilenstein in der geschichte von second state, da zum ersten mal überhaupt unser mann der stunde - stephan hinz - einen remix dazu beisteuert. lange deep-bass-parts und treibende trommeln des titeltracks entführen uns hypnotisierend zu einem unvorhersehbaren ort der glückseligkeit. kompromisslos und unheimlich jagen dagegen töne und frequenzen auf der flipside -l714- wie kometen durch den technoiden kosmos. wer bisher eine musikalische härte vermisst hat, kommt mit dem remix von stephan hinz auf seine kosten. mit mächtigen trommelschlägen baut dieser eine nahezu greifbare spannung auf, ohne die grundidee des tracks aus den augen zu verlieren. die * shelter ep* ist ein zeitloses komplettpaket, welches keine wünsche übrig lässt.

absolutely huge record from the shelter vaults! roland clark killing it on this underground house anthem from the turn of the millenium. i get deep (shelter mix) is pure peak time joy, based around a rough looping sample lifted from blue magics seminal philly anthem welcome to the club from 1976 and with clarks vocals telling us how he gets down in the club over some heavyweight drums. simple, yet devastatingly effective. this 12inch also features the dub mixes, original mix and the always indispensable acapella version for those who wish to create their own version!

underground audio are proud to present brand new remixes of cristophs highly acclaimed shelter track.

der titel *shelter* beschreibt die wahrnehmung und anschließende emotionale resonanz auf eine sammlung von klängen und motiven. lieferten moirés bisherige veröffentlichungen bereits fragmente dieses gesamtkonzepts, stellt *shelter* diese vision in gänze vor. die verschmelzung von motiven früherer arbeiten und neuer produktionen komplettiert die idee und zeigt moiré außerhalb gewöhnlicher muster experimentierend. das ergebnis ist unerwartet, roh und dynamisch und spornt dazu an, sich musikalisch und physisch auf die erfahrung einzulassen. *shelter* schafft eine parallele situation zwischen dem künstler, der die grenzen seines mediums erkundet, und dem zuhörer, der das gehörte individuell interpretiert. man folgt der einladung gerne, sich in den persönlichen und ehrlichen klangmustern von moiré fallen zu lassen.
die doppel-vinyl lp erscheint inklusive download-code.

fantasic 90s analog sounding deep house

jack dixon follows a string of critically acclaimed releases for apollo (r&s), take and losing suki (hypercolour) with his debut outing for hotflush. influenced by the sparse atmospherics of wolfgang voigt, the playful intricacy of autechre beats and the off-kilter grooves of uk garage, the berlin-based producer is unconstrained by genre or place, pioneering a modern, progressive sound that has already garnered him a glowing reputation. in turns colourful, ambient, melodic and driving, his new ep feels right at home on scubas label. beginning with a deceptively clean and minimal rhythm, >e< slowly gives way to lush glacial drones, skittering beats and huge euphoric drops to form a bold production that sits somewhere between the early morning techno dancefloors of berlin and the murky sweatbox raves of late-night south london. on the flip, he delivers the soulfully taut >find shelter<. warped vocals weave in and out of an insistent, jazzy house groove, backed by a tapestry of glitches, vinyl crackle and live drum flourishes. it all leads to one of the most delirious and ecstatic drops you will hear this year.

garry todd teams up with mic newman for illusion 5 with some proper house music as we like it!

up next on scubas hotflush recordings is the stunning debut ep >forever for now< from 20 year-old duo shelter point. through the use of field recordings, upright pianos, their own chopped and screwed vocals and a varied palette of synths, the pair have created a lush and elegant four track love letter that is bound to make their contemporaries stand up and take note. >braille< sets the scene, its wistful, haunting vocals delicately slinking along to emotive and complex analogue synths, only slightly changing course on the vibrating and discordant 80s inspired >hold on me<. on the flip is the title track, a compelling and experimental piano ballad, rich with vinyl crackle and a bittersweet lyrical flow (forever burned your picture in my mind) followed by the pop-inspired >sleep easy<, a sweetly composed bedroom soul production kitted out with filtered synths and dubbed out atmospherics. a unique and memorable debut from a very bright new talent, shelter point is here to stay.

one of blazes dopest record finally repressed!

just brilliant groovin deep house , flip with dj rolando (underground resistance, jaguar), a fantastic detroit lovers track

to remain a discerning platform for underground artists with integrity is easier said than done in todays music market. alphahouse vows never to forget its roots in the afterhours basements from whence it came. in that spirit, we would like to welcome two up-and-coming italians to the family with release number twenty. good friends alessandro stefanio aka buck, and andrea santoro aka santorini, both from puglia, proudly represent the new school of deep thinking producers from a country not generally known for such restraint. if you have been following santorini or bucks output of late, you will know that italy is more than just the land of shuffled techno.. there is a deeper music movement in the country, and these guys are two of the best.

last year put leeds-based producer midlands (aka harry agius) name on the map with his successful collaboration with hessle audios ramadanman, >your words matter< on aus music. this year, aus label chief will saul has invited midland back to take a solo swing. its an excursion that explores the boundaries of 2-step, uk garage and techno and consists of two original tracks. on the a side >through motion< shows midlands ability to seamlessly take the spirit of uk garage and fuse it with techno. the tracks moody piano melody is punctured by a dark, pitch-shifted vocal and encircled by the warm atmospherics that have become his trademark. on the flip side is >shelter<, a brooding and cavernous affair whose vocals and whispery atmospherics make this the perfect late night tool.

the fourth release on dont be afraid >west acyd shelter< takes one of the most important jazz funk records of the 1970s as its starting point. semtek rebuilds the legendary hook from scratch over a disorienting range of acid, broken and techno accoutrements leaving a tweaked out bassline stepper. photonz bring their unique lisbon via essex style to the proceedings with an >i cant believe its not garage< take on semteks beat, proving yet again that they are a force to be reckoned with in 2011. the b-side >east acyd shelter< is a sparse analogue workout that would be at home as much in legendary and much missed kings cross hangout the key, as it would in a james bond soundtrack of the timothy dalton era.

roy davis and t. regisford mixes

beautiful, classic sounding deep garage track mixed by timmy regisford!

from the home of sensuous house music shelter records we are brought the record crazy love, featuring the african princess zap mama. what we get on this record is unrestricted house song by a full bodied eloquent vocalist. yes all the elements of house are here, deep bass, pianos, vibe, strings and much more. the heads will turn right to the spencer loveslap mix because of the steaming afrocentric percussion which is sliced between the house movements... this is made for the shelter, body & soul, warehouse alike

beautiful brazilian flavored organic house with a cool edit by shelter maestro timmi regisford who adds edgier beats to the wonderful arrangement of brazilian female vox, accoustic guitar and percussion.

repress of this classic deephouse outing. very beautiful melodic stuff in that classic jersey vein with a dope remix from joe clausell on the flip.

take a journey into late night new york house where everyone raisess his or her hands to praise the gospel of the dj. big moses delivers a musical sermon of house music with lead vocals by the angelic pam mcdaniels. for a beefed up bass organ filled jersey house vibe play the >trinity vox< mix.

quality house ep with vocal & deeper tracks to keep fans of this great label more than happy..! dynamodyse is the deepest german we know and he is hailing from dortmund, usually only known for sausages and the odd good result of the local football team. as we dont believe in stereotypes and we have been listening to loads of superb teutonic house music these last years, we never questioned the association between the words deep and german and we just listened to the music. safe to say it blew us away.

first debut on purple music for the swiss producer ray paxon featuring two of the most appreciated international house singers: sybille (from souxsoul) and freda goodlett (soul of switzerland member). classic house at its best!... including ray paxon original versions and two amazing remixes by panevino.

bubbled beats and hi hats rain down before the bass pulse kicks in the and the hands are raised.. delicate atmospehres climb towards the center of the room and we are off..the syncopated bass tones carry the mix into the morning hours. flip it over for sparse escape that is perfect interlude to give dancers a minute to catch their breath..
