mannequin records is proud to present a trilogy of reissues from the avantgarde italian-born producer doris norton, “norton computer for peace” (1983), “personal computer” (1984), “artificial intelligence” (1985).

chicago house pioneer dj sneak and russian export tripmastaz have proven themselves to be a formidable pairing since their first ep landed on sneak’s imprint, i’m a house gangster, in 2014. in july, they add to their joint discography with a three-tracker dispatch on cassy’s burgeoning label, kwench records. the label’s sixth release, cassy takes a step back and gives this collaborative duo yet another outlet to showcase their dancefloor fodder, which follows releases on kaluki music, mr. nice guy, reptile dysfunction, ovum recordings and, of course, i’m a house gangster. extraterrestrial intelligence reminds fans of not just their deftness in producing tough house cuts, but also their prowess at manipulating the roland tb-303 to deal a solid smacking of acid. ‘ufo’ reaches out to roughen up the humanoids of this planet with the 303’s distinctive squelch and those clattering drum machine rhythms – a track that’s guaranteed to get you twisted. gruff vocals on ‘click thang’ break through as a tough bassline ensures your participation on the floor, and ‘last daze of dizko’ maintains momentum with a thumping bassline that any peak-time burner should possess.

after releasing eps on labels like clr, plus8, drumcode, dmt amongst others, pascual is now onboard with sino. 4 raw mental techno tracks like it should be. for nearly a decade, pascual has developed his talents as a producer, but also as a dj constantly evolving in the studio, his releases in labels like clr, plus 8 y drumcode ltd, speak for themselves.

long serving irish producer derek carr continues to enjoy a resurgent career following his appearances on for those that knoe, now stepping up to love notes for some of his most effervescent house jams to date. -sidewinder- is a sprightly, detroit indebted house workout pitched at peak time, while -stepping out- trips into classically informed techno for the back room crowd. -search for intelligence- is a great example of how to execute sweet natured electro, and -indigo- ditches the kicks to twirl into more of that motor city flavoured machine soul magic for the mind.

fear is the vilest of human emotions - it weakens and corrupts, leaving mistrust and paranoia in its wake. in against the dying light, swarm intelligence embraces and wields fear, all the while breathing life into its rival: hope. to explore these concepts, swarm intelligence turned to horror films for inspiration - choosing dissonance and atonality to create sinister and unsettling melodies, as well as foley techniques to produce disturbing, unnatural sounds. the results are at times vicious and abrasive, at others acquiescent and almost mournful. swarm intelligence s against the dying light marks the first, full-length album on voitax. with moments of seething tension, unrestrained fury and dejection, as well as glimmers of hope - this record may have its roots in industrial techno, but ultimately it defies classification.

early support from jeff mills, psyk, angel molina, kr!z, amongst others. futuristic techno!

as always, a label about quality music and quality packaging without compromise. b12s sub-label firescope records is proud to present darren nye, the next producer to add a beaming pulsar to the expanding firescope universe. titled emotional intelligence, fs010 is darren nyes first-ever vinyl release and a voyager discovery into five of his finest work. a uk producer who has been writing music since 1995, darrens emotional and heartfelt work with influences from b12 among others fully represents our ethos of proper techno created today

artificial intelligence s second studio album, and first for metalheadz, was released just over 2 years ago, and we re now proud to present the remix package curated by the guys themselves. the ep features remixes from phil:osophy (phil tangent & philth), scar and zero t, with some of the best timeline cuts given a new leash of life for 2018.

so, after a little break we’re back with a new release. this time we’re joined by the multi-talented production powerhouse that is swarm intelligence (aka simon hayes). landing heavy with four bruising techno cuts that each find their own unique way of taking your head off, ear017 is a bumpy journey through darker club flavours. ‘flatlands’ opens things up, reminiscent of the type of marching, granite-heavy brum techno of old – this is minimal in construction but maximum in its impact. move forward to ‘ground up’ where demonic, dissonant keys take the lead above a rattling midrange that sounds like a corrugated roof ready to fly off. opting for cleaner, elastic drum patterns on ‘tingla’, hayes swaps tense for dense, with a loud take on steppy techno, that’ll please fans of some of blawan’s earlier work. ‘skitz’ starts out an a more dub tip with a wailing, paranoia inducing hook and snaking rhythms, eventually joined by more hard-hitting broken kicks, leading us comfortably into oblivion.

rebel intelligence return with a new 4 track ep of electro from john davies aka datassette. the tracks were composed using a vintage japanese analogue setup, delivering a warm sound reminiscent of 80 s wave with the title track paying homage to mr flagio and i.m.s. the b side -metropolis light transport- brings a strong drexciyan influence matched to the signature sound you ve expect from a datassette release.

now an essential part of the metalheadz family, artificial intelligence are back with the reprisal ep.their 2015 album on the label showed exactly what the duo are all about - blissful liquid and chunky basslines - something that was further showcased in last years shrine ep. the reprisal ep is more of the same but perhaps slightly refined, with reprisal and intimacy leading the way on the dreamy and sometimes euphoric side of things, whilst the darker sounds of sicario and force of habit transform the release into an extremely well rounded project

the 6 track double vinyl release includes the full 14 track album on cd.

after the sweat-soaked throwback fervour of his 2015 debut lp, unknown to the unknown and hot haus main man dj haus returns to rinse for a brand new 10-track album, “artificial intelligence”. working at a formidably high rate of productivity, haus returns with this new record less than 12 months after his last, and he shows no signs of slowing down, maintaining his reputation for creating hard-edged dance anthems that leave a lasting effect on the dancefloor.

a new essential release from the april77 combo. describing themselves as trash pop, this prolific avant garde indie band is always looking for more weird sonic experiences. what makes the songs different from the rest is that finberg finally found the right accomplices. the current incarnation allows him the perfect balance between the four track seclusion of his bedroom punk and the rough and tumble real world.
