a1 - the newness- combines dystopian sound landscapes with dubby atmosphere and whoopy beats. b side opens with - g.i.r.r engine-, reminiscent to -never engine-, one of cristian s best works up to date, blueprint of minimal techno with no additions. last but not the least, - box engine 124- slows speed down a bit and finishes the ep with dark and funky though spacey trip to another dimension.

this is a 12inch single by shoebox, a previously unheralded blip on the electronic music continuum. they sometimes make music, but only when the moon is rising. mostly, they bide their time, inhabiting the shadowy space at the back of the cupboard alongside out-of-date tins of food, unloved christmas presents, forgotten records and misguided charity shop purchases

stories of prison sees timothy j fairplay returns to emotional response having helped shape the identity of the label in it s infancy with the release of somebody, somewhere back in 2012. a lot of music has come from both artist and label since then, with fairplay s reputation as a solo artist fully established thanks to releases on a myriad of labels. stories of prison is a mini lp rich in the musical intensity fairplay has instilled in all his music to date, yet there is a daring sense of diversity at play too. from the effervescent dubbed out house toughness of opening track -the quay-, fairplay veers into subaquatic breakbeat, deep synth love from outer space chuggers, and other late night sonic treats

2015 repress ... willie burns and entro senestre team up for their second release on l.i.e.s. under the daywalker + cf moniker. big things on here! picking up right where last year s release left off, the title track supersonic transport turns out to be their most dancefloor driven effort to date. doing exactly what the title states, it moves in beautifully epic territories throughout its almost 8 minutes long course, taking you where you need to go. the b-side turns the floor vibes down a notch, as both tracks are left alone to breath in their own worlds, each with equal space and unique sonic character. ace release from these guys.

those who have been following the cosmology series from its inception will no doubt be familiar with the ad hoc release schedule and will perhaps have grown accustomed to the diverse range of styles that their eps encompass. each one has trodden a different path in the pursuit of updating pivotal dancefloor memories and cosmology volume four is the most ambitious reworking to date. the choice for this instalments source material is a topical one as the influence here comes from herman sonny blount, better known as the free jazz pioneer sun ra.

the hyper-chromatic music of matt cutler marks him out as a true impressionist, as lone, he drizzles brightly coloured melody through his tracks with all the reflexive skill of a master painter daubing inks and pigment across paper. on cutlers fifth lone album, reality testing, released on r&s, he sends notes and chords rippling delicately into space before allowing them to disperse, each oozing beautifully away into the background fabric of the music. combined with rhythms that ebb and flow, shifting from propulsive club constructions to beatific coastal hip-hop, it is a sensuous, immersive, heady experience, and easily his most accomplished and selfcontained work to date.
the double vinyl comes with download code for the full album.

following their acclaimed debut album, migration, on prins thomas internasjonal label in 2012, jamie paton and nigel hoyle (aka nigel of bermondsey) have seemed relatively quiet save for the odd remix here and there. tucked away deep in their south east london base though, a series of remixes and solo projects have been steadily forming. with new c&a material planned for 2014, plus more to come from jamies new solo efforts, as well as nigel making a long overdue reappearance in maurice & charles, now seems the right time to draw a line under their collective work to date. here then are a collection of unreleased interpretatons, including the sought after vocal remix of psychedlic darlings, in goats anthemic run to your mama. this is followed by a late night dub of 80s pop duo blancmange that mixes strings, guitar and some dub bass with a dose of space echo before bringing neil arthur s classicly recognisable refrain shining through. to finish is a remix of goats label mates teeth of the sea. fx-soundtrack vocal, bubbling 303 and 808 combine on a proper 3am dub that builds beyond some mere drug-chug.

before birthing his blasted acid house identity bobby draino drummed for various synth-punked groups around vancouver, and some of that scorched earth live energy bleeds through the five primordial bangers comprising his vinyl debut, *brain drain*. tracked live through one channel of a space echo straight to his computer, draino’s mo is overdriven drum machines saturated with gritty fried acid, bass damage, and blown-tone sequencer patterns, fused into a radical and weird debased mutant house. the eps five tracks are the cumulation of two years of demo workshopping, tr-606 and 303 autodidacticism, warehouse party spelunks, etc, all savvy tactics for developing a shredding, progressively singular style, which bd has in spades. one of the most awesomely wrecked and raw silk slabs to date. a west coast wiz worth watching. mastered by eric hanson. edition of 430.

the third diskotopia release of 2013 comes transmitted from somewhere out in deep space, courtesy of label mainstay, rbma alumni & tender hooks co-founder mau lin. building on from last years excellently received function open ep, mau lin continues his exploration of ruff and rugged polyrhythmic techno abstractions in fine style. the four original tracks which comprise the quotient ep, plus a stunning boxwork remix, are mau lins strongest and most visceral tracks to date.

it is neither a new computer game, nor a novelist - but most certainly the tightest live formation that jazz & milk has to offer to date! gta hoffmann sips out of your ear, sways your hips and bypasses the vessels of your awareness, 120 times per minute. three musicians, experienced in diverse and manifold musical areas, play their own and unique creation of live dance music. beni brachtel, aka bartellow (guitar), lukas rabe (keys) and gabriel hahn (drums) operate their instruments as armatures of turning knobs, sliders and effect pedals and pave their way through earthy rnb grooves, wooden house and analogue elevator-minimalism. as improvisers and composers they love to play with shapes, moods and all types of sounds. the result is pure energy, which inspires deep listening, immersion and dancing. what appears to be an artificially produced electronica record is in fact the live sound of a trio, which levitates through space and time - far away from any musical categorization - while sonically complementing and reorganizing earthly pulse.

vinyl only !! of course!! more than a year after his last ep, quarion returns to retreat for a fantastic expedition: a journey to the >moons around jupiter<. consisting of four tracks dedicated to the four galilean satellites, >moons around jupiter< is a sonic masterpiece that blurs the lines between house, techno, broken beat and disco. a certain detroit mystique (the futurism & outer space themes) also surrounds this mesmerizing ep which quarion himself ranks as possibly his best work to date … come and take a ride! we may share the ultimate bond with the moon europa: the presumption of oceans underneath its crust of ice as well as an atmosphere that is mostly filled with oxygen make this satellite a good candidate for possible extra-terrestrial life (more micro-organisms than 3-eyed aliens though). quarions >europa< hopes to reveal the secrets underneath the ice layer: beginning with a skippy beat and a tinkling piano, the track evolves rapidly as subtle keys and a cosmic choir appear from beyond.

thinking too much/where the helios is juk juks second release on nommos. thinking too much is the most direct juk juk release so far. its peak time fare, aimed squarely at the dancefloor. the dreamy intro will fool the unsuspecting, sucking them in and propelling them on a tripped out ride on a techno ghost train, buffered by a cushion of warm throbbing bass. where the helios is the real dream side. a floating, hallucinogenic, spaced out drift, driven by a crisp, pared back rhythm and a gorgeous, woozy vocal- led melody. juk juks first release for nommos was unwrap/fall and before that his debut, winter turn spring/frozen, was put out by kieran (four tet) hebden on his highly regarded text label. all juk juks output to date has been critically acclaimed, coverage including fact magazine, pitchfork, mix mag, abeano, the fader amongst others. his releases have also received significant club and radio plays including mainstream radio 1 support from admirers giles peterson and rob da bank, who has promised support for this release. four tet said the room went off when playing thinking too much at a recent event.

after his sublime remix for hitsafes >let the acid out< on shaddocks first release, tin man makes a deadly return to shaddock records, delivering his most dancefloor oriented record to date. opening track >t_dd_t_rr_y< sees kicking beats with a genealogy harking back to finest chicago house, yet done with contagious feather-light energy of uk funky and a naughty bassline gliding perfectly between cheeky rave chords and their moody older brother. >s_mple_house< continues with this blindingly effective simplicity, dreamily muted chord stabs, rolling congas in ecstatic space over a warm round bass. on the flip on >aut_repeat<, crystalline synth shards coalesce in complex forms and continue in icey determination as the beat sneaks up underneath, propelling into an absolutely blistering workout. >djsn_k< rounds up on a perky high, an ebullient synthline with crunch and a punchy beat so frontal it might make you blush. rave bones akimbo – tin man steals the pure dance!

originally released in 1985 for chris carters >mondo beat< lp on conspiracy international, >moonlight< is getting a long-overdue single release of the original and reinterpretation from neurotic drum band. a long-time fave of jd twitchs, >moonlight< was a hit in the late 80s with a much-slowed down bootlegged version on the belgian new beat scene and amongst the italian cosmic djs. the ny duo of ulysses and john selway, aka neurotic drum band, recreate >moonlight< keeping the original feel, slowing it down just a touch and ultra cosmic-a-fying it for an ultra-headtrip psychedelic spaceflight! as a special bonus, there is a digital-only remix from oneohtrix point never. its the sort of drone, dark ambient sound that fans of opns daniel lopatin know and love. bliss out… for those who may not know, chris carter is one of the founding members of throbbing gristle, partner with cosey fanni tutti (knows as carter-tutti and formerly recording as chris & cosey) and has been working with sound for over 40 years. for an extensive biography and up-to-date info about his current projects.

our japanese dear friend hidenobu ito is definitely overwhelming and it seems almost comically out of place. from alien hydraulics to percussive steel fractals he allows to take shape within the realm of impossibility. so, what follows next on numbolic records is a stunning lesson in subtle buildup of sound design. theres a feeling of constant movement and shaky energy that means his music never quite stands still. highly resonant and rapidly-panning drum hits act like flickering fluorescent lights. the result is a heavily abstracted layering and perhaps our most sonically release to date. every sound, no matter how tiny, is endlessly tweaked and picked apart. the 12 inch ep is rounded off with 2 prickly re-interpretations. dualism turns up the fog with a super-deep captivating and yet lovingly version. while ditch comes up with a characteristic throbbing dirty techno rework. another 4 smashing tracks by hidenobu ito are added digitally as well as two bonus remixes. kai provides a dance floor-approved version and the hungarian newcomer as we said made a cartoon spaceship to the moon. big pulsating bass kicks will drive you in that particular head-space, but before accidentally killing someone in love, we suggest go get this record instead and start dance! be numbolic!

if we add a new label to electronic music, is it really needed, wasnt music originally unlabeled? - lads contemporary productions could be called anticipated techno, architect techno, or architechno. these two tracks are simply brilliant and beyond what i have heard to date. the way lad is building space procures the feeling to be part of the music, to be in it, swallowed by it. >isolate< and >bergvall< are just two hypnotizing masterpieces, transporting you into unknown and untamed territories. deep, soulful, cinematographic, intriguing, moving. my drug is music. from 2d to real 3d chills. vanina hänin woods, forests, deep and dark spaces, like if kubrick, kurosawa and marinetti would have gathered together to produce music, simply highly cinematographic and futuristic. lad builds up organic visions, redefying sound in such a personal way. definitively two superb, soulful, finely shaped and constructed electronic pieces which will undoubtedly make you dance the night away.

pumpin like reeboks: an adrenaline soaked dose of pure nosebleed speed garage rave crossbred with dubsteps bassonics and 90s b-boy swagger. raffertie hits his stride with his most accessible & anthemic work to date. pounding 4x4 kicks bounce off cylon bass cannon blasts and crashing 808 claps battle rave sirens for dominance of the air space. clipped vocal edits and pinpricks of distorted noise are littered though out this blood pressure raising carnival ride as a constant reminder that this is party music with intellect.

lil tony is hotter than hot. while starting to dj and produce years ago, tony has been a staple in the scandinavian club scene since the early 90s. an amazing dj (actually one of the favourites around the moodmusic hq) and a talented producer, tony started with the fbi project with roberto rodriguez and kimmo oksanen before dropping some serious damage on raw trax vol. 1 last year on moodmusic. caned by everyone from luciano (he edited his own version of semble) to dj hell, tonys raw grooves cut the crap and moved people when other producers had to take a leak. hardworking, never forgetting his gentleman manners, tony is here to stay and raw trax vol. 2 is a bold new statement, and his best work to date. solid state takes the classic detroit influenced drum machine vs piano theme a step forward, a impeccable jam of 15 minutes with the beat keeping the pace, this has been roadproofed the last 6 months to good effect. the b-side karamba is a dry, tight driven tech-workout, perfect mixtool for the deeper techno as well as housier sets. it just works well. the closing checkpoint charlie is a tale of >lost in helsinki< – dark mean bass wanders around and gives space for the chuggin main line, monotonic body music at its best.

passionate, uncompromising, resolutely underground. a few words to describe the work and career to date of swedens finest real techno exponent, grovskopa. masterminding two high-calibre labels with frequent appearances on other imprints of repute, whilst giving a voice to the techno community through the nursery forum, he is clearly one of the harder working producers around. >make tomorrow< is the next chapter in his tale for the label, following the hotly anticipated and well received prologue of sect 2. >atopic< creates dense and intimate atmospheres, overlaid with a reflective, introspective key structure, culminating in the most poignant & moving of melodic sequences. >skinstrumental< bridges the void between tracks, speaks of the space between stars as our minds turn to thoughts of galaxies and nebulae, the spirit of detroit radiating like a supernova.>the fierce hug< completes the aural triptych, by contrast offering a more upbeat, playful yet no less desirable option for the more creatively diverse techno mix

after a wait of 15 years and numerous 12es, e s, random compilation tracks and remixes rude 66 has finally finished a full length album and dare we say it s his most cohesive work to date? sadistic tendencies begins where 2005 s three faces of fear ep ended, with 18 tracks that slide like snails on the edge of straight razors, exploring the dark side of the human condition. thematically connected, deep, dark and mind bendingly analogue, sadistic tendencies is both tense and full of release, sometimes brooding and encroaching at other times exploding into throbbing synth laden dance floor bombs. superlatives aside, sadistic tendencies works exceptionally well as an album and is one of those rare 70 minute journey s that can be enjoyed from beginning to end – like a good horror movie that scares the hell out of you, but keeps drawing you in.

side a brings the original sound of chicago acid sharply back into focus, subtly reusing the elements that made those records so special whilst bringing the sound up to date with modern production techniques and banging drums whilst maintaining the wigged out alien sounds of the time- for fans of everyone from todd n tadd to eddie fowlkes to sleep archive. the flip side brings a truly amazing track from rei loci again- playing with all manner of spaced out fx laden elements, and underpinned by the subtle interplay between machines- dreamlike, deep, intense and epic in all the right sense of those words this track sees rei moving into a more mature and complete phase in his production

there s a sense of paradox in love & beyond. it s jay haze s most defining album to date, but also, his most unexpected, in both music and form

detroit artists seth troxler & patrick russell join forces for their first ep >valt trax< on circus company in what is obviously a successful piece of teamwork. seth troxler, now living in berlin, has been attracting attention with his spacey, funky atmospheric releases on labels such as spectral, items & things (as thrill cosby), omarss fxhe ( as young seth), esperanza, beretta grey, leftroom, and dumb unit, moving into more and more interesting territories with every one of his releases. the idea behind the ep was to recreate a vibe identical to that of the heyday of underground dance music and instant insanity of the early 90s on a record that sounds like it was lost in a dusty vault for 20 years and just rediscovered.

spacetalk recordings present their second release, a powerful 3 track ep from veteran producer matthew puffett aka future beat alliance. future beat alliances music is warm and melodic with roots firmly implanted in detroit techno soul. his debut release for spacetalk contains some of his finest work to date, with retro synths and hints of vangelis style soundscapes weaving through the multiple musical layers and dusty vocal samples. breathe in your fear is a cool acidic detroit techno groove that has met with broad appeal amongst the select djs that have had the privilege to hear this deep gem. reverse the negative conjures up late nights at the loft with its haunting violin melody and seductive female sci fi dialogue. the ep is rounded off by the majestic contact yourself which draws from balearic, cosmic and electronica to create a melodic slo mo groove for those after hours sessions

here comes the storm ram by head honcho marco remus. as a follow up to the huge yet mysterious n34 release which adds a little nerven spice to some classic prodigy material, remus presents the butan ep. the ep is one of his most progressing works to date from the hands remus. the ep starts with a stripped down and mental jackhammer which has already shown its power during marcos world tour. the ep even comes with something more melodic and slightly more spaced out than you ve perhaps come to expect. a true masterpiece that will not only please the die hard followers of marco remus

aus continue to release the best and brightest of contemporary dance music with the oehug the scary ep, a collaboration between luminaries will saul and lee jones. will saul is best known as the head of simple records, up for nomination as best british label in dj magazine this year and also sister label to the more experimental aus imprint on which this ep is released. in his career to date he has released numerous singles on simple, the critically acclaimed space between album and has recently produced an ep for the german label systematic. englishman in berlin lee jones has to date released acclaimed singles on liebe detail, aus and his own label, just rec. formerly releasing under the moniker hefner , he is also a main creative force behind playhouse my my, whose oesongs for the gentle album won plaudits worldwide in 2006. opener oehug the scary is a transcendental journey. trace echoes of melody encircle an intensifying percussive step, filtering to a chimed key reflection. tonal themes fade in, compete, distort and then depart, making way for peaks of overwhelming melody, with only the fittest surviving and elevating to the sublime. on the flip side, partial arts (the duo of ewan pearson and al usher) give their own, heavily percussive, account of proceedings. stormy fuzz and bubble bath accents introduce a funk bassline and interplay between looped guitar and tonal melody. a sci-fi synth haze halts and then dictates the progression into a saturated melodic climax.

exciting news from the re-activated hairy claw label that has been lying dormant for a while. as you know, bears shouldnt be taken for granted when sleeping and this one has awaken to devastating effect. laj & quakerman have been dormant (remember what we said about sleeping bears?!) since 2002 and many fans of their tracks on fiasco and the idjut boys u-star will be very excited to hear of thismonster on hairy claw. two tracks entitled >vinyl frontier< and >lust in space< are sure to get plays from the widest spectrum of djs while keeping their old fanbase intact. live drum rhythms, bleeps, moody synths and latino marracas…i can see this freakin out alot of bunnies! its a space party for future bears on a mission to jack. raj gupta (for it is he) has released under several guises for labels as respected as nuphonic, session, noid, r&s, strutt, mr bongo…the list goes on… we will tell you more nearer release date but for now… grrrr!!!!! roooaaarrgghhh!!

super-jewel case, 8 page booklet
everything begins with changes, whether you re moving geographically or emotionally. aeraÕs album ãthe sound pathÓ tells the story of this sentiment.
born in the high north of germany and now a berlin resident, ralf schmidt aka aera first appeared on the electronic music map when he established his own aleph music label back in 2010. with only a handful of releases, aera was able to lay out his very own musically topography on the cutting edges between house, psychedelia and breakbeats. this colourful mix culminated on his debut album ãoffseason travellerÓ in 2013, resonating the past forty years of electronic music, which brought him the attention of a wider audience as well as fellow djs and producers. so it was a logical consequence that his talent also attracted other labels and lead to widely praised releases on innervisions, maeve or john talabotÕs hivern discs. with these, aeraÕs sound bloomed further into bubbly acid and trancey territorries and his fine reputation as a singular producer, travelling dj and remixer flourished. with ãthe sound pathÓ aera continues his musical travels and permanent vacation is gladly hitchhiking on that ride. his second album is the most coherent and definitely most personal work to date. here, he has perfected his sound even further - adding nuances from the meadows of new age, kraut cliffs and high-flying kites of ambient. complete with the cinematic and nature-esque qualities of ralfÕs music, it will draw you in deeply through a great variety of landscapes before your inner eye. however, youÕll never lose track, because this path is beautifully illuminated.

spacetalk is proud to reveal its most exciting release to date: a collection of long-lost recordings from forgotten californian duo morrison kincannon, rescued from the dusty tape archives of the pairÕs lead songwriter, norman morrison... with only a handful of sought-after private press 7Ó singles to their name, morrison kincannon are all but unknown outside record collecting circles. yet norman morrison and terry kincannon wrote and recorded some superb songs during the 1970s and early Ô80s, desperately hoping for the break that would see them released on vinyl. now, at last, their time has finally come.

damon wild and david sumner (aka functions) relationship dates back to 1991 at lord michaels future shock, limelight, new york city when damon was running experimental records via northcott productions. at the time, he first saw something in dave and added him to brand x, a record pool run by moneypenny. but their bond is based around a period 5 years later when dave had an apartment above rogue music at 251 west 30th street in midtown, manhattan. it was during this time damon developed him as a synewave artist and released his first ep as function in the fall of 1996 catalog number sw-24. falling in and out of touch over the years, across continents, the two have somehow remained on the same cosmic path. so itÕs not a coincidence that now damon has turned to dave to release his first album in 13 years, during the time he is reissuing that first synewave ep on recompiled i/ii & ii/ii (a-ton lp02/03). this is where those paths cross again. 21 years later, this fall, dave will release cosmic path on infrastructure. the cosmic connection.

steffi occupies a unique space in the realm of contemporary electronic music. although she s a world renowned dj, steffi s musical interests reach far beyond the dancefloor, and it s her work as a producer that has established an impressive, hard-won legacy. soon after moving to berlin in 2007, steffi joined ostgut, becoming a resident at panorama bar and releasing on the club s label. to date she s released five albums, including two solo for ostgut ton, a co-production with virginia, another with analogue cops as third side and a collaboration as doms & deykers on martyn s 3024 label. her impressive discography features club classics like Ò yours feat. virginiaÓ , carefully chosen remixes and appearances on labels including permanent vacation, underground quality and mixes for panorama bar and fabric. she owns and operates four labels: klakson (with dexter), dolly, dolly deluxe and dolly dubs. world of the waking state is steffi s third solo album for ostgut ton and a musical departure for both her and the label. it s also a serious statement of intent. over ten tracks she embarks on entirely new electronic terrain for her productions, marking industrial spaces with superlunary warmth while exercising a refined knowledge of polyphony and arrangement. subdued melodies interact with each other over implied harmonies and microcosmic drum patterns, luring us into a world that is introverted, bewildering and gratifying all at once.

what is modern russia? an infinite space filled with skyscrapers made of gas and oil, golden crosses on church domes made of titanium, thousands of multi-floor beehives with millions of concrete honeycombs, where the fate of tired people burn out every evening. sensitive and subtle stirrings of the mind, persistently pushing up towards the light through the bootstrampled dirt, and blackened by ignorance. an infinite space of a centuries old experiment of power over man, and man over power on its way from nowhere to nowhere.
on the 1st of september, mindtrick records will release the new album ÒmuscoviteÓ from russian mysterious electronic music producer delete. his previous full length album Òpredatory things of a minuteÓ already dates back to 2012. after the album he released two more ep s on the label and released his controversial music video called Òa letter to godÓ about the war in chechnya, which gained more than half a million hits on youtube.
