emlock founder untold is back on the label with his first vinyl ep since ‘doff’ on sub-label hblk back in 2015. this release follows appearances on last year’s #savefabric compilation, and more recently on ‘magic city iii’ compiled by mixpak boss jubilee. hek029 follows a rewarding period of a&r for hemlock that has so far delivered eps from bruce and parris, with several more scheduled to drop throughout 2017. ep’s two winding tracks are a natural progression from the fiercely textural drum work of untold’s previous singles and album ‘black light spiral.’ here the material is given more space to breathe and released from the grid creating a lighter more footloose feel. ‘tear up the club’ carries the weight of dmz era half-step using a loose web of elasticated breaks and builds to reveal a striking melodic line. on ‘watton res’ exotic tones are further compressed and expanded in sequence, encasing drum machine, keyboards and guitar work within a delicate shell.

planet rhythm continues the various artists series with a versatile 4-tracker containing tracks by planet rhythm regulars and a relative newcomer to the scene. the a-side features a deep groover by yan cook as well as an atmposheric track by promising act alpi. the b-side is home to two tracks that lean more toward the harder and more repetitive part of the label’s broad spectrum.

marco bernardi, a british producer with quite a flamboyant personality is no stranger to the burek family. having already released an excellent 2-part 12 series titled laffer ep for barba last year, it couldve been expected that hed appear on the mothership at some point. as on those two records, theres plenty of synth action going on, although with a little bit more restraint and less roughness.

the album from 1977 re-issued in a heavy weight 180gram vinyl edition in its original cover. the split lp *clash* is a classic in the deejay genre and features two of the most prominent artists of late 70ies reggae, dillinger (born lester bullock) and trinity (born wade barmmer). re-launch of the classic uk reggae label burning sounds.

the title track on tychos long-awaited dive lp is just that — a ripple effect record that sounds like three songs in one, as if sound/graphic designer scott hansen just discovered progrock and decided to apply its winding passages to his own singular blend of sinewy synths and bleached beats. its also the first tycho song to feature a prominent guest musician, guitarist zac brown, in this case, who paints outside the lines of hansens halcyon hooks with restless rhythms and monorail-like riffs. the >dive< single fleshes things out even further, as keep shelly in athens and memoryhouse — both rising underground artists in their own right — cut hansens cloud-scraping composition in half and slow his cruise control chords down to a crawl. the misty vocal melodies are still there, but they are now floating through an embryonic assembly of jittery cicadas, rusty gears, and lean loops that are both welcoming and a bit woozy. the sonic equivalent of staring at the sun for too long, really, or two sides of the same cracked mirror.

blank artists continue to push through with this 12 from josh dahlberg. rob wilson of the summer pledge and tim shellabarger of detroit funk staple will sessions help out on a few of the tracks while the b-side sees two remixes from planet es monty luke & i.t.s ectomorph. recommended!

for mad eye and drumcode fans !! two promising guys from subotica in serbia are responsible for this amazing piece of plastic which fits into the most recent technocatalogue perfectly. slightly reminding on some elements you know from labels like mad eye, the good production compared with solid sounds and a floor-orientated arrangement will make this record interesting to numerous jocks. upcoming uk top-producers perc adds another facette to the record. big release for us, you and mainly the dancefloors

after two incredible eps, wayne snow the nigerian-born, berlin-based vocalist and songwriter now presents his debut album on tartelet records. freedom tv is the natural sequel to the max graef produced tasters red runner (2014) and rosie (2015) a project marinated in afro-caribbean, soulful grooves and topped by waynes effortless falsetto acrobatics. as the title suggests, freedom tv is an album with themes of liberty, struggle and creative identity pumping through its veins. within ten tracks, snow fluently meanders between musical styles: from low-tempo soothers like album opener cooler and fall to the syncopated bruk of the rhythm and cosmic funk escapades found on nothing wrong. production comes from three varied and solid sources. the tag-team between snow and fellow berliner, max graef

with their new horizon ep, lucien & the kimono orchestra open a music box which transports you in a blue and dawnish atmosphere, a morning spent on walking in an old cinematic paris. first step in the eighties, connection starts as a film opening. then arrives the single, fresh start, full of indelible voices and gimmicks. horizon, sung in french, is a delicate reference to the french songwriting tradition inherited from michel berger, alain chamfort or alain souchon. to get some breath back between two songs, georges, offers a strong instrumental interlude. almost at the end, the english-spoken shell extends the panel of influences with its downtempo emotion. with its spontaneous declamations and slick guitar riff, asile closes the journey, as the splendid climax of the foursomes second ep.

like a memory you can’t remember having, surely lost to the past but resurfacing at the hit of the first steady note. so sudden and unexpected it curiously scratches the shell of your inner self. as he himself states: kerala dust makes music for a desert he’s never been to. once again, we have a new addition to the family, once again, like finding the piece of a puzzle you didn’t know was missing - three pieces to be more precise. carefully crafted music from the head and hands of this one plus two project, completed by a mesmerizing remix from the walking understatement dwig. welcome home, kerala dust.

with our regular 12” series both coming to end some people thought that wph would end as well. you should’ve known better, because there is too much gorgeous music coming from our small wph family to just let other labels shine with it. and so we have decided to throw caution into the wind and embark on a new story. a story in which our artists get to tell their story by means of a full album. at the heart of metrobox’ sound is a love for moog, 909 and sh 101 sounds, combined with a knack for seductive melodies and a healthy dose of vocal action. two collaborations with wph head honcho red d and belgian mc champ tlp add some extra oldskool flavor to the proceedings. and yes, we are well aware of the fact that double or triple albums are heavy on your budget and that you all prefer to shell out 15 euro for a one-sided limited detroit release instead of a 12” with three tracks you like ... so this album will come in three separately available 12”s, giving you complete buyer freedom.

since the turn of the decade token has by and large been an exclusive platform for the music of inigo kennedy, ¥ phase and ctrls. the belgian label has, however, remained on point by putting out formidable productions by rich oddie & ancient methods eschaton project, german powerhouse r¢dhåd and spanish heavy weights oscar mulero and christian wünsch as spherical coordinates, to some intercontinental fare by xhin and go hiyama. token, an iron clad operation continuously manufacturing unyielding techno, has always, deep within its impenetrable shell, had a soft spot for british techno. and following a reissue of mark brooms two, maintaining the glacial release rate of rodz-konez legend makaton, and welcoming surgeon to its fold with the thunderous fixed action pattern 12inch, the belgian label seeks out some fresh uk blood by inviting james shaw, aka sigha, to debut on the label with a stylistically sleek and suitably booming 12inch, our father / a better way of living.

"you wake from sleep, the door closes by itself and the walls run with slime and rain. a shadow moves, almost familiar, welcoming and simultaniously intimidating. the candle flickers and snuffs out. a noise. your torch is dying. something takes your hand. long fingernails and old skin. you mark the floor, chant the incantation. together. in the first of our split series we present two modern artists who’s imaginations know no limit. abstract drones, anchient machinery, neon cities within the shadow of the overfiend. heading up side a is the legendary cristoph de babalon, whose work in the late 90s on digital hardcore and his own cfet proved to be some of the most unique and timeless of the period. seperated by european boarders, the reigns are taken by triames, cutting the rhythms to explore techno as a more abstract concept, beautifully detailed work in between lustmord and emptyset. giallo disco is proud to present ‘invocation of the demon twin vol. 1&#8242; possibly the most sinister and atmospheric release to date, and also one of our most special. art by eric lee."

an artist usually chooses his (her) name to create an alter ego. this time, its a little different as from one, the artist became five. but christine and the queens is indeed a solo artist. opposite emotions, self-contradictory statements, eclecticism, all things that were roughed out on her two rather confidential first eps, are confirmed on the one shes about to release on because music.

almost two years after his stunning debut album release, john roberts is back with a wonderful journey into sounddesign, sample research and contemporary club music. as beeing inspired by the aural surrounding due to travelling around the globe- as a dj and author travellers almanach- the worlds finest magazine on our beloved and hatered jet set life- the paper frames ep contains some mixture of accoustic instruments, deepest bass levels and extraordinary rythm structures. according to john roberts, club music should be way more open minded and surprising. for those who are on the search for an advance approach of electronic music this one is the top match

in the world of factory presets, default settings and copy-paste ethics, there are few artists that actually care to make a difference. and -who told you that?-, 29th release on warsaw recognition label, is certainly a voice to be heard. the title track is another subtle narrative from label boss jacek sienkiewicz. eerie chord and a solid, damp beat from the start are underpinned by sherds of dialogue - snippets of words and laughter keep coming back in the mix, providing some sort of uneasy commentary towards todays minimal house formula. but at some point the voices disappear - and then the tracks gently goes somewhere outside the boundaries of todays club music, somewhere otherworldly. this shift, albeit amazingly subtle, is a leap towards music free of any defined context, far beyond dancefloor and definitely original. if this sneak peak into the possible futures of manmachine induced visions is too much to handle, there is still the b-side of this release. two tracks here - both clocking around mere 5 minutes - are prime exercises in compact, clever, tight and efficient club tools. uplifting -cobalt drive- is bound to to be quoted and reworked into many forms of a late-night burner. patefon, on the other hand, is a peak-time stormer with its stuttering chords and moody samples, supposedly picked from some vintage shellac discs

two building up monsters with very precise production and clear mixing. these tracks will dominate the floor for sure and drive people crazy with their hypnotic style. the return of a. mochi, who made his name not only with releases on luke slater s >mote evolver< imprint, also his last kumo-release was a massive success by finding a way to combine shaky minimal grooves with the energy of clearly arranged, straight techno
