hypeltd are happy to introduce another new talent in the form of j. alvarez. it is a name you wont know yet, but the man behind it – seattle based producer chris 214 – has already made a name for himself with some rude electro, techno and even ghetto tech releases on in-the-know labels like frustrated funk (a subsidiary of clone) harbour city sorrow (and again) and others. now, though, he is on a house tip, and it is for that reason that he has assumed this new moniker…
continuing in the tradition of offering up sounds a little less accessible than its older hypercolour brother, hypeltd seems to have once again unearthed a producer more than worthy of popular attention.

lil silva returns to night slugs to drop the second installment in our new club constructions series.
cc is all about stripped-back, raw and highly functional tracks made specifically for the club. where l-vis 1990s first venture into the series presented a brutalist vision of house, silvas volume 2 represents the vital flip side to the concept: broken, grimey rhythm tracks.

hands up is the production team formed by the analogue cops (restoration/appointment) and alex picone (cadenza). their analogue joint venture has groundbreaking results. machine powered house music heavily influenced by the berliner dub techno and by the funkiest 2step, with a debt to detroit. this first release features 2 dancefloor killers recorded on tape and saturated with bass.

foolish felix dickinsons superb cynic label with another hot one! cynics latest release features another killer track from l.h.a.s. inc. (jamie read and felix dickinson). analogue synths and vintage drum machines rock along with an infectious old school style reminiscent of the early sounds coming from chicago and new york in the late 80s early 90s. think clubhouse meets nu groove. on the b side phoreski (felixs fellow resident at londons bad passion) delivers a remix that takes the track to another level, darker haunting synths and a robo vocal asking: do you like the way you feel, will you dance with me?

there must be something in the water of the canary island seas. something that turns quiet kids into tasteful buttoned-up hooligan experts in house music. >luxemburgo< is the huge vicario musique choon everyone was waiting for. a groovy sure shot which combines commanding ferocity and a delicate class in a way reminiscent of michael j collins early work, but also hints at alex & isaacs passion for house and mysterious funky vocals- almost ambient melodies a la lone, carried by a strong rhythm built on noble drums, unraveling the most >hands in the air< breakdown since the invention of putting your hands in the air.

romes egisto sopor has been making little waves with his releases for quite a while now. since we have known him he has released a cdr album on legowelts strange life records and put a cassette out on the much admired 100% silk label, both under the name polysick. as theawayteam he has released a dvd >relax & sleep< and a cd >star kinship< on japanese label moamoo. he is also one half of the low key video unit aavv, whose work has graced many of the important releases of new lofi electronic movement.
well, here is his first album proper >digital native<, 15 tracks of glowing, nocturnal, analogue grace that hark back to acid house and early techno, but with a mood and intent that seems to be designed for watching images dance on closed eyelids. it is no surprise that his work as a video artist resonates so strongly with the music he makes.

for the 4th release on their cocktail damore music, discodromo and boris bring you the exciting and extraordinary sound of lord of the isles. with a handful of releases for labels such as the japanese ene and firecracker offshoot, unthank, lord of the isles is currently one of the most talked about names in the electronic music scene. the sound in these 4 tracks moves between ambient electronica, planet e techno, kompakt shuffling trance (check out the sublime searching) and mid tempo balearic house chuggers, with squelches and bubbles in all the right places. they are highly sophisticated deep-disco house movements encrusted with splurges of sonic texture. lord of the isles has amassed support from a long list of both seasoned and new school djs, including masters like david mancuso & dj harvey, who included one loti s track on his recent x mix cd, andrew weatherall, daniel wang, fudge fingaz and linkwood. as usual: limited to 250 copies, 12 inch in 4 colors cover - no digital. hurry up, vinyl only!

steve summers bangs out four new tracks on his analogous desires ep. summers takes his usual palette of analog machines and creates a new feel for the four tracks on this record. large juno basslines, dreamy string leads, and big roomy 707 hits analogous desires combines classic elements of chicago, detroit, and new york house sounds with some dreamy soundscapes.

the excellent lumberjacks in hell imprint has served up some fine edits in its short lifespan to date, most notably from chicagos mutant beat dancer traxx and the labels latest release turns to two other windy city residents renowned for their collections and skills. rahaan needs little introduction for the disco loving community with essential drops on stillove4music, disco deviance and more, whilst mr sounds runs the excellent bring the heat website. this twelve is all about the a side >rainin bleeding boy< which puts a well loved uk ebm couple through the dub laden beatdown grinder - though djs will get plenty of mileage out of both tracks on the b side with >flip side< some supremely chopped up disco funk and >war i declare< a stomping and heavily filtered bomb.
comes on blue, marbled vinyl.

ltd 2012 repress !!! big l.garnier, steve bug, rolando support!!! what we re gonna do here is go back... back into time! this unlikely bulgarian/uk duo churns out an old skool chicago monster that reminds us of the rawest mr. fingers productions from the late 80s. we have been jacking our body ever since we first heard it. comes as vocal and instrumental. the b side sees a solo outing by kink and again it sounds like we go back 20 years... raw and dirty house music. when music is this good, let there be renaissance! our house is your rush!

marco bernardi is back on clone royal oak with a beautiful three track ep! tracks that are a nice blend of his roots in glasgow and detroit techno stirred into a nice personal outing that show his talents. the ep features slowly building tracks that keep the tension high with bernardis trademark melodies layered over basic house rhythms with a raw edge. the beauty and magic of electronic dance music captured by marco bernardi!

at this point you should know that am/tm is anthony mansfield and tal m. klein. this is their eighth record together. you should probably also know that anthony mansfield has another side project with nick chacona called ncam. in other words, anthony is a collaboratively promiscuous producer who likes to make music with his friends. back to acid is am/tm?s attempt to get the world from uptight and twitching to firmly crooked and messy. coveting a return to the halcyon days of tripped out people melting on the dancefloor and raves in the woods, comes this hard hitting trip with vocals by navid izadi. add sweeping 303s and crunchy 808s.. and well, what more could you ask for in a track called back to acid? on the b-side is an extended ncam remix which ups the bpms and attitude. its a family affair.

the modus operandi of awkward movements has been defined by quality of electronic music coming forth rather than a set look based on tempo range or sound. this has recently resulted in 12s from some of the undergrounds finest producers including nkc, chairman kato and daojia, pairing them with an eclectic group of remixers such as andres, scan 7, maddslinky and ekoplekz. awkward movements came together under keith p in 2009, and has since extended in to an ever-growing family of players, now including one of our londons top talents in the form of dont be afraid boss semtek.
limited edition, handstamped, no repress.

nice price deal !!! no, snuff trax 007 is not only something for miss moneypenny. with this release we bring you four special trips instead. created by two great artists from england and germany. jackee is a project of paul mitchell, who you also might know as meschi. for his debut on snuff trax he drops two hot acid cuts. >a tribute< is an anthem with its huge acidline and its incredible melody. >seeking space< makes you fly endlessly through the cosmos. an emotional and deep piece of music, created for the very specialmoments. the second artist on the release does not need any furtherintroduction. elec pt.1 belongs to our little label family since snufftrax 001. now hes back with two new mesmerizing tracks that do notneed a 303 to work like acid. >galactic journey< and >jack xpress< willfascinate you with their magic melodies and grooves..

on their fifth release, back to you goes digging around through analogue sounds and comes back with ample dirt beneath its fingers. this is dusty house that could have originated at any point along the us/european axis as it crosses the atlantic.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

deep house mestro nacho marco joins forces with sais and fabiani and together they are dropping a balearic house stormer (with a certain jan hammer influence). although they keep the things simple the track relentlessly grows during its whole length to full effect. ooft! is on the remix duties. he speeds up the track, so the purist can call it house without suffering, and he does a great job while doing it, taking the whole thing into deeper territories.
all that on a very limited 12 inch with screen-printed artwork and download coupon. with amazing silk screened artwork by graphic genius pepe medina. includes code for free mp3 download of this release.

full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.

marius bubat and georg conrad aka coma combine pop and house, techno and indie rock with an eclectic approach, creating highly recognizable music with an emotional impact. even though emerging just a short time ago, coma have already seen their share of travelling, with a recent appearance at sxsw 2012 and even a journey to vietnam. it was there the boys teamed up with norwegian dj charlotte bendiks, as they fought their way through the chaos of hanois traffic.

vinyl only! dark droning, energy loaded and straight bumping cutz! first limited pressing comes in handnumbered, transparent green vinyl. handstemped artwork.

we think everything we release on frijsfo is fresh. at the same time we believe it doesnt hurt to stay in touch with your roots, which is something buzzin10 does in a fascinating way. we cant tell you much about this young producer from east london, a publicity-shy individual whose music we first heard thanks to his older brother. but we do know he pieces together rhythms by sampling fragments from old tape packs – mainly garage nations late 90s recordings of some of the best djs of all time, including dj ez, karl tuff enuff brown, dj luck & mc neat, and ray hurley.
dj support so far comes from sully, desto, oslek, warlock, kingthing, resketch, rk and ltf (wifey ldn), cardopusher, valta, dusk & blackdown

alden tyrell hooked up with mike dunn for some new work!. a golden combination which already worked out great as we learned from the heavy remix tyrell did for the murphy jax & mike dunn collaboration (its the music - cat# cjfd06). tyrell always jamming and playing around with his synths had some tracks inspired by early mike dunn songs. so the obvious happened ... the hooked up for some appropiate vocals and here it is ... touch the sky! a peak time acid monster with mikes vocal chant in the style of his classic md3 projects. gerd is on remix duty here and delivers a killer remix with a more traditional chicago groove and build up. clone head honcho serge had some studio time with tyrell for a dub mix. the serge & tyrell dub mix turned out a bit wild and became a classic piece of piano and dx bass driven chicago house music with stuttering vocal samples and a acidic synth line. another strong clone jack for daze!

bokhari records is a vinyl only label. bokhari has been inspired by mo wax of old, and firecracker of present where care was/is also taken on packaging and design. each release will feature a different illustrator / artist for the design. musically we will aim to stick loosely within the realms of house and techno, but often with our own slant on it, and as the first release shows, in this case will include some afro percussion and a touch of acid. bokhari 001 only 300 copies will be pressed. artwork for release 001 is by the excellent illustrator andy potts (former head of design at abbey road studios), and every single vinyl will be signed and numbered. remix comes from the ever consistent mark e, who has taken the shrunken head bassline and made a 10 minute druggy, chuggy, loopy, creepy monster (and anything else you want with a ‘y’ at the end!)

karat welcomes a new band for the release n°47. we are happy to host some canadians again on the label. the mole, guillaume & the coutu-dumont, egg and eddie c have already represented this country for karat ! these guys from vancouver know how to make it right ! 3 massive tracks, « boomer » in a rough and fat pumpin style, with nice breakdowns and atmospheric landscapes, perfect for the club, nice for home, « full moon cycle », the depest piece of the record, doesnt need much precise words. its simply beautiful moody and elegant music, « house of business » is a nice groovin track with deliciously arranged with typical jazz elements, brass & keyboards, in a pure canadian cut-up house vein

slightly dark and very exciting dance music by the fabric resident with a playful remix by andrew weatherall

new 12 inch limited edition for any techno/acid lovers

on >work that shit party<, a fingers inc. style rhythm buttresses a two-note riff, a crackling male voice filtering in from the ether. a pinging keyboard zips around before that two-note flicker expands and contracts, warps and wheedles. but around halfway in, a female vocal refrain of >gonna work it out< breaks fat lacerations into pinholes, blaring keyboards seeping in through the gaps and crevices. then, as with >d117<, it is the congealing of all these disparate elements: a work it out from fischerspooners lizzy yoder sashaying with the two-note riff, the keyboards bouncing off the ceiling, and flaring hi-hats fraying the surface played by pat mahoney (lcd soundsystem). each portion is given its due, only to make the ensuing combination that much more enthralling.

after revealing themselves as ollie and if music owner jean-claude of amalgamation of soundz fame, london based dub and bass duo cessa return with another 12 inch on their missing link sounds imprint. on vocal duty is jamiacan-born mozez, who is best known as the singer of the british downtempo group zero 7.

dont be afraid present spargel trax, a two part series of vinyl-only, coloured, hand-stamped 12 inches designed to celebrate the dual themes of great seasonal music and great seasonal spargel. contributing tracks across the two 12 inches are some of our favourite artists currently making house music. from established artists like disco nihilist, andy blake, sound species and james duncan to up and coming artists like david joseph from cologne, hodge from bristol, untitled-w from st. petersburg, for whom this is the first outing on wax, and scott fraser from glasgow. no clues though as to which is which, you will have to just listen to the tracks and hear for yourself! proof that 2012 is a great time for music, a great time for wax and a great time for spargel.

makam – what ya doing: the hague based producer makam definitely didnt see jack play, simply because hes waaaay to young to be bragging about the history of house music. nevertheless mister guy blanken delivers a stunning anthem in the best of warehouse and music box traditions. keep those 909 rim shots coming please, but make way for the irresistible breakdown. makam – what ya doing (funkineven) more 909 sweetness comes from london based steven julien aka eglo-related vintage fetishist funkineven. while treating the original with respect, he adds some analogue acid dirt to it. in an everything but subtle way, that is. peak time stuff!

for uzuri 018 we return to one of our home grown artists – jitterbug. time has flown since his last release for us in 2010, but we have been quite eager to get some new material out from him for a while – and, based on feedback we have had, plenty of other people are keen to hear more from him too. both his raw winter and beaten trax eps were pretty popular releases for us and his dj appearances always create a stir, so we are pleased to bring you this, the arcane theory ep. the track sequencing on this record is pretty aggressive – front-loaded with the confrontational rise of the machines. a track that really lives up to its title, sounding like the production line at cyberdyne systems… all stomp and evil synths, like a bad mood e-dancer. fallout couldnt be further from that – relaxed and making no attempt at all to get in your face. itll win you over, though. just a nice, deep groove and a lovely, phased beat. could play it for hours… the whole of the flip is devoted to nomads, a chiming, acidic wander. nearly eleven minutes in length. the kicks never at the fore on this one – most of the action occurs at the mid and high frequencies – a resonant 303, lots of hi hats and, later, synths which expand on the eastern-flavour of the track title
