index:records is moonstruck to announce the 12” release dorsal, by berlin based artist, vase. dorsal is a genre bending output that combines the carefully layered sound of ambience with rhythmic ingenuity. the tracks aviolet and kinto balance in the eclectic techno realm with a nod to a time when idm was taking form. the organic grooves on the ep suit many settings, from big industrial spaces to soft forest beds.

vase presents himself with a massive debut of the potrait of his mind, and the way he thinks. three cuts, and an amazing painting from mr. mike parker are giving to this ep a very big impact. the simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

when la label acid test decided to start the leftfield imprint, avenue 66, they looked to new jersey house mystic joey anderson for an opening salvo. he delivered the modern psych-dance masterpiece above the cherry moon. now andersons back again with more of his beguiling dreamlogic. on if one cares, they act different anderson works with a lead that could score an unsettling 80s horror flick, eventually introducing his signature quicksilver synths and abstract, jacking drum patterns. peace there starts with the square-wave basslines and raspy hats taking us to a psychedelic far away place. on the vase, anderson reins things in, but even his bittersweet, relatively straight-head deep house tracks present an odd paradox. his music so alien and human all at once.

london producer kit grill returns fro his first outing on vase after a series of unique recordings for the likes of getme! and primary colours in the past year.

samoyed kicks off vases 2013 with two undeniably brave tracks and a change in direction for the hyped producer. breaking into new territory for the u.k artist he kicks off with sloe eyes, an percussive builder of a track with rave stabs and a brilliant catchy vocal hook. utilizing his brilliant use of the ethereal he keeps the club edge on this track emotional and heartfelt. the b-side guts starts with a hypnotizing vocal loop that slowly transcends into almost autechre territory but with an ear for african house on the drums. dj support comes from hudson mohawke, pearson sound, krystal klear and benji b. samoyed starts 2013 with a bang

vase continues its blooming series of stellar releases since its inception a few months ago with its boldest release to date: the zodiac ep. this self-titled project by producer / songwriter jeremy rose marks a definitive episode in the young labels direction. the brain and ear behind some truly singular releases, rose is responsible for production on the weeknds house of balloons (what you need, loft music, the party & the after-party), as well as >genesis< by bay area artists the jealous guys and the acclaimed styrofoam cup session remix of roach gigzs >got em like<.

vase returns with musical prodigy koreless releasing his long awaited single lost in tokyo alongside a dancefloor readied remix from label boss jacques greene. lost in tokyo garnered hype after being featured in jamie xxs bbc radio 1 essential mix last year and soon became a crowd pleaser in the young producers infamous live shows. featuring his trademark formula of stripped back production, lush atmospherics and hypnotic vocal chops. warm synth pads glow as the signature vocal pitches dramatically build to a beautiful crescendo. on the flip man of the moment jacques greene flips the track into dancefloor territory with pounding drums and incredible energy. dj support comes from annie mac, mary anne hobbs, gilles peterson and benji b

nice price deal !!! arclight drop the incredible holographic ep. via jacques greenes label vase. heralding from london, arclight caught massive attention via leaking songs on youtube and their incredible take on electronic music. the holographic ep starts with the glorious a side vitamin d. starting with sun soaked chords sparkling beside ethereal vocals it slowly builds in texture & pace until finally climaxing into holographic. the title track is just as memorizing as its predecessor with much more driven base of percussion and hypnotic chanting cascading into the realm of the night / club. b-side purple city is a tale of vice and virtue, sitting somewhere between panda bear, bjork and radiohead - arclight are making some of the most interesting pop music around. dj support from optimo, mary anne hobbs, gilles peterson and james murphy

body sculptures is a contemporary project that brings together five unique voices in european experimental electronic music today. the formative element is the collaborative pact between sweden’s northern electronics and denmark’s posh isolation. last year marked both body sculptures debut live performance - a highly notorious set at berlin atonal festival 2015 - as well as their debut recording, “the base of all beauty is the body”. the disparate elements that have come to inform the project thus far are further refined and encoded in their new lp, “a body turns to eden”.

with jungle, grime (forthcoming), 90s rnb (forthcoming) and even red snapper’s ‘96 classic prince blimey all getting the skrs redux recently, runcometest ep is a time-capsule. 8-bit basslines echo from distant battles with space invaders while sure-footed dub samples glare at sound system history through vaseline smeared lenses. returning to more grounded dubwise sensibilities (by their standards), runcometest builds a bridge between the collective’s 2014 nocorner cassette (rootprinciple) and the recently re-surfaced sci-fi/western clash dancehallshowdown (self-released on ics library recordings last year).

the greatest hits from death row records artists on 4x12 inch vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

a subtly appealing tape in a pink cover with an imposing artwork of highly erotic nuances: this cassette, originally promoted as candy-coloured sex-shop electronics, is the absolute gem of internazionale s discography and is clearly destined to become a timeless modern classic. together with the track the charnel house, included on the compilation ny dansk romantik, the excellent craftsmanship of elegy for the victors quickly evoked the loyal admiration of listeners worldwide who were captivated by its charm. this earned the danish artist a cult status and established him as an accomplished composer. the ambient music with an industrial flair of his earlier releases becomes organic in elegy for the victors and acquires life: a life depicting gorgeously melodious passages which tell a story of happy sadness or of sad happiness. such narrative is constructed by means of a lo-fi but majestic and emotionally charged sensitivity, gentle waves of haunting loops, cinematic samples and sweet maritime sounds which will hypnotise you. this is the long-awaited remastered vinyl reissue with a new artwork which, beautifully and more appropriately, captures the melancholic essence of a masterpiece of rarefied elegance.
