nice price deal !!! first single of english synth-melodic pop band chew lips on kitsuné. with remixes of tepr and david sugar. there is nothing quite usual about chew lips. not their way of making music, or their live shows, or indeed, their inception. when the vocalist tigs and multi-instrumentalists james watkins and will mcdonald decided to start making music together they had only one edict: not to sound like just another guitar band. the result was the organic and purely accidental evolution of their current, electronically enhanced sound every song sounds like it could be a planet-bestriding, galaxy swallowing pop smash, with will and james gorgeously whirling and mutating casiotone/guitar/bass/drum machine attack providing the perfect backdrop when the amazing frontwoman tigs s voice soars, swoops and dips precipitously and smoulders beautifully. with their first single solo on kitsuné, chew lips alternately capture the yearning, impatience, beauty, confusion and impermanence of youth, with tigs summing up the hopes and dreams of a whole generation with the fist-pumping battlecry of >we dont want to wait, theres no time, no time<. this is pop music alright, but pop with a gloriously vivid, almost cinematic sweep, as well as a human heart, filled with a very real sense of longing and desire, in amidst the shiny, clattering electronica. french producer tepr, well known for his remix of yelle >a cause des garcons<, has made of the song a dancefloor anthem while david sugar smoothly delivers an uplifted version of the track.

since its inception, shifted s avian imprint has gone from being a murderous, straight-laced techno imprint to what has now become a source for some of the best and most multi-faceted industrial music from the european quarters. we re not sure of verge s true identity, it could either be one of the label s existing artists, the mysterious shifted himself, or even an artist like blawan riding incognito (don t quote us on that, though!) solitary and crest-fallen, this magnetic collection of tunes feed off one another with utter ease and simplicity. they re not merely a selection of sound experiments but rather a unitary cloud of sonics which leave the listener with a powerful mental image. the feeling of dusk, the water dropping off the leaves, the cold breeze of autumn. this is a blinding foray into the darkest corners of contemporary industrial experimentation.

the secret initiative has been cloaked in secrecy since it’s inception in 2009.
over the past 8 years there has been a lot of speculation on who the artist(s) is/are behind this project. is it a collective of artists or a solo artist still remains to be answered. the secret initiative is a multi styled project ranging across the spectrum of acid techno, dub techno, hard techno & ebm mostly done in a 1990’s flavor but with a modern day punchy production sound. here on the latest release we have two peak time dance floor killers. “synesthete” a dark track-y techno climax-er with a whisper vocal sample repeating “i see the music, i hear the light” which builds into a monster of a track. on the flip side is the hard but hypnotic “return to mcmxc” which pays hommage to the 1990 frankfurt technoclub/dorian gray ebm techno sound.

loco dices desolat label welcomes uk artist waff for its next ep, a meaty four tracker by the name of hanzz sup. in recent times, waff has really established himself as one of the beacons of main room house and techno around the world. from standout sets at key ibiza clubs to gigs at fabric, london via big underground hits on labels like drumcode, cocoon and hot creations, he is a real man of the moment. the title track opens the ep in fine style with hulking great big kicks reverberating down low as wonky tones and scattered percussion add more heat. barreling along and taking no prisoners, it is a hugely physical drum track with spoken word mutterings piling on the pressure. making just as big an impression but in less direct ways, the shuffling and bubbling karimba is a skittish, busy affair with tribal drums and vocal chants all layered up into something that is sure to become anthemic in ibiza this summer. on the flip side hypnotised works on getting into your brain with tight, scurrying drum and percussive patterns that never let up. its a dense, busy arrangement that makes for a high octane ride. last of all inception takes on more of a house feel, with well swung, low slung drums bringing the groove as hammering hits and frosty synth lines keep busy up top. this is house and techno that makes a big impact from one of the most on point producers out there right now.

the duo dubdiggerz, hailing from the depths of slovenia, have been stirring up soundsystem culture a fair bit the past few years. even though the two-headed moniker has been taking part in this movement since its inception in 2011, both mark and daniel have already given life to some of the heaviest dubplates. these have been in steady rotation since their very first productions were finished and cut to lacquers. their tailored focus on the meditative properties of basslines, to-the-point percussion and perfectly executed dub effects make every ‘dubdiggerz’ cut a special occasion. without surprise, this has already led to support from some of the most established names in dubstep, including joe nice, distance, v.i.v.e.k, j:kenzo and sleeper. mark and daniel have a promising release schedule in 2017, releasing their first music on vinyl thanks to the trust of america’s dubstep ambassador joe nice and his acclaimed gourmetbeats imprint – something both producers are very grateful for. their involvement in the deepend! movement, ‘a like- minded group of individuals conspiring to advance their soundsystem culture concepts’, will result in their consecutive vinyl release – and more be unveiled later this year. bazzwarz is the producers’ bi-monthly radio shows, which is broadcasted via the dj’s live-streaming community chew.tv. this and their respected deepend! sessions have given them the opportunity to invite international producers to the show and play exclusive material from around the globe, soon streaming their 100th broadcast - with the first broadcast aired in 2011. therefore make sure to keep an eye on dubdiggerz, a promising moniker that has a lot in store for you and the rest of the world.

voodoo down returns to the compilation series that started it all: possible side effects vol.1, released in late 2012, was the first release on the brooklyn-based label and marked the inception of a concept ep series that would come to define the labels sound. featuring an a1 cut by german journeyman producer stl and rounded out by the label founders’ eclectic techno styles, pse vol. i was the perfect vehicle for the producers still working to carve out their own individual aesthetic. now with a dozen releases under their belt, the founders l estasi dell oro, nconduit and 12 x 12 have returned to their roots and this time recruited the prolific berlin-based producer deadbeat for volume three of the series. like the first two volumes, its a slightly chaotic mix of beefy dance floor tools and heady experimentation. the separate personalities shine through more than ever on this release. vdr always striving to keep things interesting.

since their inception in 2013, east london duo payfone have been breathing warm-blooded soul into their unique machine-fuelled groove. drawing the dots between the white isle and nu yorica - by way of london s narcotic nightlife - the pair conjure a rhythmic throb and soulful devotion all of their own. together, phil passera and chieka ononye buzz along the fault lines of classic r&b, cosmic disco and acid house, injecting their sound with 21st century syncopation. adhering to a strict no samples rule, their manifesto demands that everything be 100 percent original. it s a formula that s worked well so far: the pair have been widely tipped across the blogosphere and are currently linked to celebrated us imprint golf channel recordings. following three sold-out releases for the label, they return with another pair of discreet bangers, justified and we are chains. the tracks turn up the heat on their previous releases, again offering the vocals of performance powerhouse louis howard jones whose lyrics spark with a political punch.

christian gerlachís lanthan.audio features jeff derringer in its seventh installment, as well as two remixes from seasoned veterans shifted and giorgio gigli. the concept behind the label is the combination of music with architecture and photography, the consolidation of which creates a highly robust and powerful statement about music and art. this vision was born out of the desire to deliver a diverse product featuring innovative remixes from technoís most respected producers. jeff derringerís ëhuman moments in wwiiií is irresistibly fervent. both ëdepartureí and the epís title track are driving, acid-imbued, and deeply nostalgic of 90s electronic sensibilities. while shiftedís remix provides more hypnotic twists to an otherwise straightforward track, giorgio gigli lends the ep momentum and vigor, bringing the release to a robust and energetic close. human moments in wwiii adds dimension to an already dynamic and techno-forward discography, and derringer, shifted, and gigli are three amongst many compelling artists that the label has released since its inception last year.

nice price deal !!! alessandro bocci s first official full-length album under the m16 guise considerably fleshes out the portrait previously established on the eps he s issued since the alias s 2004 inception (prior to m16, the bologna-based producer was a member of starfuckers). in its early going, lack corner after the beat sessions sounds like it might shape up into a solid but well-behaved collection of artful techno, in particular when armati opens the set promisingly with four minutes of metronomic, bass-heavy throb, and lab 1 follows suit with an agitated broil of bottom-heavy locomotion. but a more experimental side gradually begins to declare its presence in the rippling crackle and buzzing whirrs that threaten to smother the combustible beat undercurrent pounding throughout lab 1. sounding perfectly at home in this context, the already-heard ep cut agenzia 13 then works a thunderously thudding kick drum and ricocheting percussive accents into a roiling groove that grows ever more forceful until it reaches a steamrolling climax.
