the transition from hip hop dj to dance music producer is not always an easy one. it is a path littered with countless fitted caps, baggy jeans, and backpacks. yet throne of blood s oneauff has walked this path and emerged unscathed. originally from north carolina, this long time brooklyn resident is no stranger to tob, having released two singles with production partner eamon harkin (mister saturday night/subway series) as well as remixes for populette, corinne (on the prowl), and the neurotic drum band (wurst music co.). though oneauff (known to the government as steve raney) has also been heard a couple solo releases including a digital-only single on buzzard gulch and a remix for cubic zirconia (dont cry recordings), the heavy heady ep is his most fully realized and developed. it s also among the most gorgeous records throne of blood has ever released.

new leng act mountaineer bring us their debut 12 inch for the label as a precursor to their album. the remix treatment here is coming from two great teams! on side-a we have the idjut boys giving us yet another genre defying direction with a sumptuously dubby take on golden chalk. this one keeps on building from a delicate strummed intro, with delayed vocals, the track slowly draws you into a deep sea of sub bass and guttural wobbles. the idjuts deft hands once again delivering a lesson in subtlety and arguably one their finest works to date. on side-b tuff city kids rework the always coming home in a wholly different way, fat 80s dub bass, hefty hand-claps and linn drum fills underpin some soaring atmospheric synth work. with the vocals dropped, this is the side for the deep-end of the club, as tcks gerd jansen well knows. a must have 12 inch!

the amiably deranged erdbeerschnitzel, alias the dark side of the meat is called tim keiling, half of whose life has been spent making music. with his self-distributed album pathetik party, dispersed among an inhibited, then startled public in free download grab bags,he demonstrated the lavish, unrestrained use of the musical propeller, drawing on influences from drum&bass, elektro, breakbeat, hip hop, techno, deep house & disco.

fred everything ist zurück mit einem weiteren classic! -winter tones- ist einer dieser unwiderstehlich dreckigen, jacky house groover, garniert mit emotional aufgeladenen synths und einer schönen hookline. fred everything hat es wieder geschafft, eine zeitlose ep an den start zu bringen. auf der b-seite finden sich zwei raue underground remixe der unvergleichlichen tuff city kids, auch bekannt als gerd janson und lauer. derb und unverfälscht, so wie wir es von ihnen gewohnt sind.

in almost ten years of existence, throne of blood has cultivated a diverse family of musical talent spread across the americas and europe, refusing to settle into any particular sound or scene. foremost among this crew of almost-impossible-to-pigeonhole producers is dissident veteran hardway bros aka sean johnston, known to many as andrew weatheral’s partner in a love from outer space. his third ep for the label, pleasure cry, is characteristic of seans style: a modern sound with sly winks to his rich history in electronic music.

francesco tristano really needs no introduction lately, his music speaks volumes and his reputation precedes him with that said we are happy to share place on lafayette with you once again, this time including some stunning remixes. the first one is a collaboration between two highly respected artists: thomas gandey and radio slave. the two take the track further into tech-house territory with the percussion driving while multiple layers begin the fall into one another, achieving a beautifully elegant and jazzy end result. gutis vision is much deeper, with hints of dub here and there as the artists drives the tension up and creates a stunning groove. the final remix come from tuff city kids, who are known for their sometimes unconventional approach to making music, and in this case, it works. they channel a raw vibe and create something that is quite possibly the furthest thing from the original in terms of percussion. the pianos keep the thread strong, and the rhythm takes care of the rest.

brame & hamo are back with the third release on their eponymous imprint. trants and club orange effortlessly upheld the berlin based duos reputation for dancefloor ready hits, with the latter selling out in one day. picking up where the others left off, limewire ep is a nod to their early influences channelling house, techno, trance and breakbeat. over three tracks, brame & hamo brandish the party starting spirit they are rapidly becoming known for. broken beats feature heavily alongside subtle acid licks, uplifting harmonies and sweltering synth lines. parade rain is a peak time house roller with pulsing bass, meditative pads and airy pipes that polish it off to make a fine rendition to early 90’s house. sports complex the darkest of the ep, builds an intense energy with a heavy hitting 808, shuttering reflections, a driving 303 line topped off with a trance-inducing melody that makes this into a big room bomb. the title track is a breakbeat workout honing a classy piano riff complimented with emotional synths, strings and more acid lines, a fruit for clarity. finally tuff city kids aka gerd janson & lauer round it up with a club ready interpretation of their title track, adding more drum layers, a jittering bassline and a simple but effective melody to finish it off. limewire ep finds the duo exploring a range of influences, expertly referencing various styles whilst still weighing in the sound that is now unmistakably theirs.

its been a year and a half since we last saw la fleur grace watergate records with a proper ep, having been featured on remix duties for sashas trigonometry and her contribution femton to the celebrated 15 years compilation. so her brand new outbreaker ep arrives just in time to curb any impatience you might have waiting for her signature blend of house and techno aesthetics fused with modern production techniques that sets her apart from her peers. la fleur kicks things off with a wild heaving bass line and crisp, distinctive organic claps on ‘devils sigh setting the tone for the hypnotic groove that soon turns into a high energy burner of explosive bursts and an incredibly unique lead guaranteeing an absolute hit. it only gets better when one of the hottest acts on the scene, tuff city kids, lend their talents for a remix and turn devils sigh into an analog heavy, future-retro banger thats as different as it is the same as the original, creating a perfect alternative to the already killer original. wrapping things up, la fleur takes it a little slower and deeper with outbreaker by utilizing lush organic percussion and washed out guitars to build a tune that will be the anthem for early mornings, open airs and beach sessions alike. we couldnt be happier to have the first lady of watergate back at the controls and we think you will agree.
