on its sophomore release, raar s bold mission of unbridled techno with a punk-rock ethos is continued in tracks from label co-founder maelstrom and newest family member, specialivery. opium wars sets a seething tone, deftly holding a line of tension as machines moan and shriek. focused yet dissonant, the discomfort continues to build without resolution, playing the edge but never grasping hold . diameter of recess starts under the skin in maelstrom s typified controlled chaos. as it grows, the track becomes both an aching roar and a needle-sharp, frenzied insistence, a feral yearning and a frustrated surrender. swiss italian carlo bernasconi is a man of many aliases, the most ferocious of which is specialivery. having eagerly taken up the challenge to push further than the original demos sent, dust detector subsystem is a demonstration of this, cumulating in -an extremely rare, compulsive mental movement- presented in both teeth-bared, club-optimized and more pensive beatless versions. it is with great pride and pleasure that we present the evolution of raar. it is our greatest hope that this work inspires and liberates its listeners. released on 12inch via the vinyl factory

blueprint are pleased to announce pluralism, the latest ep from berlin based techno protagonist and blueprint affiliate sigha.

chris carrier’s brings us the latest installment from his ever-trusty adult only label, with a firecracker from julian alexander, a rudeboy from holland, utrecht to be precise. julian’s close ties with slapfunk records, the label that released carrier’s most recent artist album, make him the perfect candidate to captain this new release, which is full of murky grooves and simmering energy. across three tracks julian brings encapsulates that adult only flavour, kicking off with ‘butress roots’ a bass-heavy roller with an eerie overtone and a minimal make-up – watch out for the extended breakdown, it will send shivers down your spine. up after that we have ‘xy’ a more up-tempo, bouncing, dance floor destroyer. major vibes on this one. on the flip ‘point of view’ brings the energy down again, with a steady flow, and a slow-building pads together with an indecipherable female vocal clip that adds to the captivating atmosphere. carrier steps in to remix ‘point of view, closing out the ep with a punchy demonstration of his production prowess. raw.

it feels like only a moment ago that we welcomed russian prodigy andrey pushkarev to the circus company fold with the gingo biloba 12inch, and after that refined exercise in stripped down dancefloor aesthetics its gives us great pleasure to bring him back in for another three-pronged demonstration of his considerable studio talent.

catalognumber 23 – what else is to say? while we are feeling the spirit of william s. burroughs blessing this very vinyl-enigma, &me went particularly mysterious ways to transcend the category - dance track - for this one. the meditation through bass had been the major discipline of some of his latest cuts, but what you will find on this a-side, one could certainly call the perfection of somnambulistic peaktime-fever. the way he is kneading the lower frequencies, how he is channeling the expansion and decay of bass must inevitably lead to some aroused moaning. good vocal-selection, for that matter! then there are those tension building synths and a staccato-frenzy in the break that might be the ultimate ecstasy-trigger of the season. * locust* on b comes in with some smoothly looped e-guitar-coolness, adding whispering hi-hats and a comparatively rich percussive architecture. but then again: rolling bass barrels like a signature and a defence breaking build up thats ensued by liberating pressure compensation in mighty breaks. two demonstrations of understated and sophisticated peaktime-emphasis, so to say. or differently put: a flawless double-a-side.

groovement has been developing its artistic connection with japan in recent years, so sais integration as a member of the labels on-going group of producers feels nothing short than natural. this first record showcases his meticulous approach to electronic music creation, with 4 original tracks that constitute a strong demonstration of his potential. flying with you” is a collection of tracks with a house matrix feel, sometimes revealing a dramatic pulse other times hypnotic forward thinking moves, but always with a subtle melodic texture that makes it work for the mind, body and soul. in fact, sais music is both luminous and dense, inviting us to embark on a trip but giving us the freedom to dream about our own destination. its a beautiful sense of interaction between the creator and his audience.

the mosso imprint presents the newest addition to its catalogue. the fifth episode of the series features two newly picked, slow-­&#8208,,,,,,burning numbers. reporting alejandro mossos further travels on the fine lines drawn between awakened reverie and inspirited groove, this new record could also be considered as an adroit demonstration on how to preserve delicacy in splendor. as >islote< was slowly taking its final shape in the few weeks preceding the records mastering, alejandro mosso decided to pull. >arrecife< out from his unfinished archives. it is a beautifully stern and steely work, presenting the slow development of the main lead, giving it space to gradually appear from the fine selection of uncanny percussions and steadily met by its accentuated twin. a damper invitation to look within. on the flip, >islote< begins with a selection of colourful drums, not unfamiliar to mossos usual escapades. however, spreading itself like a most complex delicacy, the apparent sweetness of this distinctive title soon gives way to a rugged melody. conveying a sharp yet cloudy feeling, this b-­&#8208,,,,,,side is located somewhere in the middle of a soft longing and bluesy bliss. mosso places the listener into the near isolation of an island, that is still anchored to its continent. needless to say, his magic is once again well at work.the mosso imprint presents the newest addition to its catalogue. the fifth episode of the series features two newly picked, slow-­&#8208,,,,,,burning numbers. reporting alejandro mossos further travels on the fine lines drawn between awakened reverie and inspirited groove, this new record could also be considered as an adroit demonstration on how to preserve delicacy in splendor. as >islote< was slowly taking its final shape in the few weeks preceding the records mastering, alejandro mosso decided to pull. >arrecife< out from his unfinished archives. it is a beautifully stern and steely work, presenting the slow development of the main lead, giving it space to gradually appear from the fine selection of uncanny percussions and steadily met by its accentuated twin. a damper invitation to look within. on the flip, >islote< begins with a selection of colourful drums, not unfamiliar to mossos usual escapades. however, spreading itself like a most complex delicacy, the apparent sweetness of this distinctive title soon gives way to a rugged melody. conveying a sharp yet cloudy feeling, this b-­&#8208,,,,,,side is located somewhere in the middle of a soft longing and bluesy bliss. mosso places the listener into the near isolation of an island, that is still anchored to its continent. needless to say, his magic is once again well at work.

magic wire label head lone picks another smasher, aptly titled delirium tremens, from the elusive neon jung with a suitably precise re-edit from nathan fake on the b.side, fresh after his last remix for radiohead. delirium tremens takes on flavours of garage, soul and psychedelia and glues it all together with an armour plated, mutant electro backbone designed to make the dancefloor lose it for 4 minutes but still keeps the soul firmly intact. its another demonstration of neon jungs ability to take influences from many genres and join the dots to create something fresh, but with all the right reference points to make this accessible to everyone from your backpacking beat head to the hardcore club frequenters. the bass in the first drop of this track is just berserk – theres no other word for it. the b side sees nathan fake up the tempo but draw it out, making this perfect for the more patient crowd. it has nathans signature beat all over it – it rotates, swings and soars gloriously until it finally ends in a warm afterglow, complementing the original perfectly in its grower not a shower approach.

project tempo are back! the mysterious parisian duo of djs with a passion for 80s funk, boogie and soul produce two more heavily dubbed out reworks for the dance floor and for the after hours.

autodiscotheque return with two killer demonstration only cuts from pete herbert (lsb/reverso 68) & dicky trisco (disco deviance). visual is a slick reworking of a classic slice of early 80s ny proto-house. move your body! on the flip, exodus disco classic together forever is cut up and enhanced into an irresistible, heavy hitting dj tool that will really work the dance floor. strictly for use in discotheques - dancefloor destruction guaranteed!

fresh 2010 repress !! maybe silent servant (aka john mendez) has been at the coloured sweeties and fizzy pop, as the two tracks for >negative fascinations< are decidedly more upbeat than offerings on his previous three sandwell district releases, or indeed his own historia y violencia label. that s not to say that they are exactly cheery though - the string-like drones of >discipline< will doubtless send a shiver up the spine of many a raver - but >demonstration< certainly ups the tempo by a notch or two compared to the much deeper flavours that we have become accustomed to. an accomplished enhancement of his production, whilst remaining true to his trademark textured sound...

blackstrobe are back from beyond. their newest dance floor gems are a foray back into the darkest realms of disco with their unique blend of boogietrance, softgoth, gaybiker house music. on their latest release they employ deep gothy hooks that match perfectly with a nostalgic italo flair and dark disco pulses. dancefloor zombies and casual listeners should find these retro-futurist tracks akin to the worlds of john carpenter and the twilight zone. trevor jackson >great release< // chloé >good tracks, will play them< // dj hell >great single<

autodiscotheque continue their demonstration only series of cut up dancefloor weapons with two top edits from alexandra parade (rumoured to be none other than legendary optimo selector and editor j.d. twitch). first up is barneys bubbles a heavily chicago influenced take on movin by brass construction. on the flip bronski beats classic smalltown boy is chopped and teased into a jackin slice of arpeggiated nrg bliss called ruchill rumpus that delivers maximum impact.

new and exciting label from our friends north of the border, aimed squarely at the dancefloor autodiscotheque kick off their demonstration only series of cut up dancefloor grooves with two killer edits from richard sen (padded cell/bronx dogs) and legendary grafitti artist cazbee. first up is a fresh rework of the bass driven disco glitch of kat mandus i wanna dance reconstructed here as cat dance. on the flip, the chunky disco funk of dennis deans i feel it is transformed into the irresistible proto house groove of lifetie. cut and pasted for the elegantly wasted, this is sophisticated and decidedly filthy 21st century club music !

alec storey has been making quite a name for himself in techno & electro circles since his debut release on kracktronik back in 2006. renowned for his no-holds-barred live shows (which often incorporate stunning demonstrations of his considerable skills as a drummer), he has also been making considerable progress in the studio, with new equipment and new techniques. the troglodyte ep is a distillation of all these things and more, and although calling it refined might be stretching it a bit (its not called the troglodyte ep for nothing), its certainly fair to say that he has honed his sound into a near-perfect combination of brutal beats, bowel-busting bass, and mind-mangling sound design, all presented at slightly-higher-than-normal tempos, guaranteed to get the pulse racing. for remix duties we called in two heavyweight producers! carl finlow (aka silicon scally) has been turning out immaculate electro, house and techno for over 10 years now, with releases & remixes on such respected labels as mute, warp, playhouse, satamile & scsi-av . here he turns troglodyte into an off-kilter, but driving, electro workout full of twists and turns. kracktronik fave volum doesnt disappoint either. he drops the tempo and increases the spook factor by a few notches, and as always his intricate programming reveals layer after layer of nutritious electronic brain-food.

if you like it hard, fast and evil try this dep affect 4 tracker sure to kick all asses

cool electronica lounge & experimental breaks !
