salvador breed and stijn van beek met while studying sound design and music technology in 2006. ever since then the pair have been beavering away behind an arsenal of blinking banks in amsterdam. the musical fruit of their friendship is breek. a partnership that smears the boundaries of styles and sounds with festive flare and a rainbow steaked uniqueness. for their vinyl debut yokai. a candy coloured cornucopia of elements are swirled and whirled. braindance. electronica and neo-classical are festooned with dubby tones and underground grit in a unique sound of diverse textures and deep tones. faster works. like the swooping joy of yokai. are countered by more contemplative ama. hang is a whimsical dreamscape of squirming acid lines. crisp drums and angular notes that combine to produce a brilliantly bright piece. mu-onna and oiwa are more abstract works that melt vocals with sweet strings before the final piano swells and ambient rains of burabura. a daring and dynamic vinyl debut from this eccentric duo with stunning artwork from warren du preez and nick thornton jones.

like many electronic artists. ryan lee west aka rival consoles spent his early years experimenting with idm. glitch and dance. but one consistent element in his musical journey has been his desire to create a more organic. humanised sound. through these experimentations he has found a process of producing electronic music that feels close to this urge. west engages his hands directly with instruments and is very selective about what he then records into the computer. he reduces musical parts even further. leaving enough space around the sound for it to breath.
odyssey is a reflection of west’s quest to create atmosphere and space from minimal arrangements. ‘i don’t like music to sound overly laboured. so i restrict how much is going on. i’m kind of obsessed with the idea of reduction.’ this 5-track ep was mastered by naweed.

hmot aka stas sharifullin is siberian-born. moscow-based musician. curator. educator and multi-disciplinary artist from siberia. using modular synthesizer. field recordings and visual programming languages. hmot collects sounds and organizes them into structures. pushing traditional electronic music genres beyond their comfort zones. “permanent imbalance” is his ep debut on the berlin imprint oqko following a single contribution to the label’s “form_1” compilation. structurally. “permanent imbalance” is disorderly and elusive. it’s a techno record which has undergone a gregor samsaesque metamorphosis. embedded with dizzying polyrhythmics. the discontinuity at the heart of the record might also be its central directive – interrupting the ecstatic clubbing experience in favor of a contradictory reality which is impossible to describe with regular rhythms. boldly submitted to the niche of dance music deviations. “permanent imbalance” also reveals techniques directly derived from early institutional electronics and musique concrete. but where others would pile on the layers. sharifullin keeps it trim. these are just some finishing touches enhancing his rickety and multifaceted soundscapes. subject to constant deviations of its own temporality. this music proves to mirror the crisis in which modernity resides – a state of life out of balance which now appears to be permanent as never before.

four tracks that capture the various emotional moments of the dance floor. produced by brian ring in berlin. remixed by honey soundssystem member jason kendig in new york. the photo on the cover comes from established amsterdam photographer sander meisner.

the british duo. lost property are back with more electronic tones in the form of a five track ep aimed for those in the year 2045.

180gr black vinyl. full colour sleeve. our journey continues with an ep of pure ageless music for the dancing brain. four tracks dusted from the archives of this mysterious artist. real name alastair johnson released only few eps and one album in the mid/late 90s and then almost disappeared. we are more than happy to have the opportunity to highlight this material. the other big great satisfaction is also to be able to involve the historical warp-affiliated duo b12 for a really deep and spacey interpretation. have a good trip!

dabei hat jeder einzelne produzent seinen ganz eigenen bezug zu daf. so erinnert sich gabi delgado. dass er früher beim ausgehen immer zu -i feel love- getanzt hat. westbam hatte einen seiner ersten bühnenauftritte mit daf und dj hell und robert görl veröffentlichten beide auf dem münchner kultlabel disko b. aus dem später dj hells international deejay gigolo records als ableger hervorging. mit dem grandiosen remix von boys noize und dem etwas experimentelleren ansatz von lor (aka gregory fergusson) nimmt sich dann die nächste generation die legendären klassiker vor. natürlich kommen auch die beiden herren zu wort und reinterpretieren ihre eigenen stücke auf eine ganz neue art.

chino from krakow is one of poland s most distinctive players when it comes to providing a good amount of darkness into your nightlife experiences.

tourist kid s first release for melody as truth. recorded in perth and melbourne between 2016 and 2017. though the idea of movement between two places could be a somewhat romantic afterthought. a more palpable sense of dislocated unease creeps up on the listener throughout the album.

the sixth release on warsaw-based bruta&#380.... (bruitage) is not the most experimental nor the most banging record. it’s not a tongue-in-cheek type of record nor a kind of commentary. it’s not a wild excursion into anything nor it is a dj tool. there’s nothing futuristic nor oldschool about it. we’re from poland. after all.

mu&#776...stesna is an istanbul based independent record label founded in 2018 with an aim to reveal and re-evaluate the underrated sounds which was either forgotten. or not yet discovered.

their first release comes with a selection of tracks recorded between 1995-2006 by etnik sentetik. the infamous electro synth-pop band from istanbul. this 8 track lp offers a dark journey of uncanny sounds. fostered by 90 s influenced raw electro-acid beats and eerie vocals.

gothenburg based tora vinter brings a sonic journey of two genre defying tracks to bror06. coming from releases on her own my sonic mountain imprint and remix work for fever ray (rabid records). arriving from an impression inspired by female characters of one thousand and one nights. tora starts the ep with the emotive morgiana. presenting minimalist layers of classy percussion over an eight minute bassline workout together with veraluz’s impassioned vocals. following up the a-side is the lush and evocative sheherazade. bringing the listener from atmospheric soundscapes through suggestive drum patterns - featuring a spaced out. stepping remix by dj lily.

after releasing a brilliant and stomping three-tracker on kontra-musik white label last year. ex-durian brother harmonious thelonious returns to the kontra-musik family with an absolute gem of a record. this is everything we want dance music to be: characterful. playful and impossibly funky. harmonious thelonious is a master of crafting organic sounding rhythms but arranging them in a manner that reminds one of a 1970 s car factory. primal pulses running through modern assembly lines. gears and pistons covered in green lianas. the result is a perfect symbiosis between living tissue and mechanical parts - dance music for primitive cyborgs.

having previously caused a sensation with his releases on labels such as enchufada and naafi. siete catorce delivers four supreme cuts for his hypermedium debut. packed with his futuristic rhythmic craft and his highly hybridised sonic language. agnosia finds the mexicali-based producer joining the dots between cumbia’s seductive syncopations. the entrancing club-driven beats of tribal guarachero and ruidoso&#769...n’s spooky experimentation. merging mexican traditional rhythms and contemporary dance motifs. the ep’s playfulness is further highlighted by imposing basslines. airy synths and eclectic glitches - its occasional sparse atmosphere quickly escalating to reveal some intricate. compulsive drum work. exquisitely intense. agnosia is undoubtedly siete catorce’s tour de force. revealing in every detail the finest textures of an ever-expanding affective continuum.

bombay springrolls contains three tracks which all have their own strengths. the a side is a wide 45 rpm print of thee j johanzs uplifting and pretty cosmic intergalactic rabbits remix of the original still fukkin with it on side b. a catchy slomo disco track by jim lok. here you also find thee j johanzs bombay springrolls. which just happened on an afterparty in a studio in bombay (energized by the best spring rolls around). with pre-production on the spot by bombay’s underground house and techno producers abhi meer (modular synth). spacejams (tr707) and chhabb (bassmachine). a digestive and spicy disc with a variety of flavors. masala!

suction records is proud to present ii - a new. archival ep release by italian duo d’arcangelo. we like to think of ii as an imaginary sequel to the duos classic 1996 debut ep on aphex twins legendary. now-defunct rephlex records (also reissued on suction last year). just like their debut ep. the material on ii was recorded in the ‘90s using hardware synths. samplers. and fx. also like their debut. ii similarly features fierce. crunchy industrialized electronix on side a. backed with melodic. robotic electro (the darcangelo brothers call these tracks their diagrams) on side b. four of the six tracks are previously unreleased. while aom2 (an absolute monster rephlex-style distorted beat track) and diagram ix (a timeless slice of early-human league-style synth pop) come from long-out-of-print 90s vinyl comps on eclectic records and suction records. respectively.

it was vladimir ivkovic who introduced me to the world of rex ilusivii. a world where the spirit of a genius holds sway. i remember spending an entire night at vladimir s house in germany. listening to all those recovered pieces. and feeling like i had entered another space-time. mitar tragically left us. one november night in 1999 in brazil. leaving behind an extensive body of work consisting of more than 500 pieces. for the most part never released. being submerged in such a unique universe. so singular. brought me happiness. it also filled me with hope. because i tell myself that today there must be many other outstanding musicians who produce in the shadow of the traditional circuit. just for the pleasure of making music. listening to the music of mitar suboti&#263.. makes you part of his world. he did not stop producing from 1983 to 1999. in different styles. but with an instantly recognizable touch.his music also marries the evolution of recording techniques with new instruments that have appeared over this time. from the tr808 to the digital samplers. it took me more than two years to select the music for this record. as each time i listened to the material it revealed other details and other possibilities. i am extremely happy and honored to present this record to you. in which i try to do justice to the different. versatile- facets of suba.
