tangible assets returns with its fourth release in the series by label owner stojche. an outlet that�s given the berlin based producer the freedom to explore and distill his trademark dubbed out detroit fueled productions. asset 04 follows on from three previous releases and opens its account with �payback�. a dubbed out affair that�s firmly grounded in a powerful groove. stojche sets about reinforcing his strengths in composing a surgically laden foundation with precision placement of 909 toms, panned snares and staggered kick drums that proceed into razor sharp hats, blooming into subtle delayed pads which are further lifted by emotive and colourful chords. payback�s true charm lies in its ability to capture an honesty and sincerity that�s as captivating as it is transcendent.�tunnel� continues where �payback� left off and leads in with a booming cavernous kick drum, diving directly deep into a wonderland of mysticism, an effortless trademark that�s clearly evident within all of stojche�s productions. rich swirling pads rise and sit happily beside cleverly programmed melodic keys that tease in out of the mix, directly complementing the main elements of its structure. if anything, �sinister alley� should be further proof of the macedonian born producer�s maturity in exploring the outer worldly and broken beat time signatures. his approach in creating both depth and enchantment is both pragmatic and effective. beautifully deep, undulating and atmospheric. �sinister alley� opens with an airy signal that captivates upon overture. combining quintessential snares, a series of rapid fire hats that are anchored by an analog baseline, he sets about creating hypnotism with layers of atmospheric suspense, while fluttering waves of electronic circuitry waver in the distance. a multitude of pads and textures combine to create an ethereal feel and harmonic cloud to float within. tangible assets 004 is far more than just another chapter in stojche�s musical journey and much more than just another release on his label. it�s further evidence and development in a sound that truly captures the essence of the man behind these tracks. an ethos he�s been exploring for quite some time, catalyzing imagination and furtherance that�s beyond tangible.

a1. celestial encounter (original mix) 6:08 � 4×4 driven groover laced with choppy hi-hats, complexed rhythms, and orchestration only fit for mental travels. an uplifting tune of spirit and electronic sorcery. a2. ominous 4:58 � steely industrial percussion, creepy atmospheres, dance floor know-how. the honest depiction of the title lurking within the corners of your psyche. a3. celestial encounters (interlude) 1:22 a fine example of the latest in signature interludes from the optic nerve project. movement & imagination. b1. jazzy circuitry 4:49- moody, computer-ridden textures walking along side a odd-time signature until the introduction of the bassline and trippy piano keys seal the deal on craft & creation. niceness, indeed. b2. jazzy circuitry ( blaktonys step glide remix ) 4:18 traditional optic nerve ambience is chopped & rehashed into a 1/2 step groover then blasted into a full jam session by blaktony. madness/a complete new trip on the original structure & tune.

christian viers is fast becoming a prominent name on uk underground house and techno circuits, either as part of lazlo dancehall alongside leon vynehall or his long running a1 bassline project. techno-focused releases on his own label, source unknown captured the attention of the ears behind the newly formed fina white resulting in the bad timing ep, which the label state is a strikingly clear indication of the distinctive direction they plan to take moving forward. title track bad timing is a straight up techno banger whose menacingly melodic low-end tones, relentless thump and rolling toms are the driving force behind its robust and looming groove. without time is a similarly complex percussive cut, but with its jungle inspired arabic horns, trancey synth-lead breakdowns and acid squelches, whilst uk house veteran nail offers a more direct 4/4 take on the track with his typically classy remix.

a little over a year ago nunorthern soul brought you bj smith s gorgeous cover versions of two hip hop classics. last time out he tackled mos def, which gilles peterson proclaimed as -the sound of sunsets for years to come- and the pharcyde, this time he is bringing his unique touch to the recently-reunited outkast. andre 3000 and big boi are hitting the festival circuit during the summer, this celebration of their greatest work should tide you over until they get back into the studio. and would they approve of these two radical re-interpretations of their music? we like to think so, see what you think.

one of the most active and in demand producers on the european techno circuit at the moment, angy kore from italy joins the australian power house elektrax recordings with his first vinyl release sasau ep, including two heavy big room bombs sasau and train zero on the a-side.

nice price deal !!! man invented the machine and from its circuits music with soul was created. > soul machine< is about rediscovering the creative ritual between man and its machines. the man is helder russo and he will drive you through a futuristic motor city soundtrack with an atlantic feeling. > soul machine< is a kind of techno rebel record, in a sense that its not a product of the industry. its rather the soundtrack for an imaginary society, with soul as the unifying element between men and technology. the type of record that mojo could play in his fabled radio show and make people connect through music. in fact this is very much about connecting. with the machines, with sounds and with each other. its about the endless ritual of creation and the challenge to transcend time and leave an inspirational mark. helder russo did his job, now make sure you appreciate the many hidden layers of this special record.

willie burns, secret circuit and suzanne kraft are the odd numbers� setting sail with an ep of blue-eyed house. recommended for chilling in higher temperatures.

considering the combined talents of detroit veteran terrence dixon and black jazz consortium man fred p, you d expect this split ep for finale sessions to be a lesson in warm, soul-flecked depth. pleasingly, that s exactly what it delivers. dixon excels with the sub-sporting alien futurism of -to the bridge- - the aural equivalent of staring into space while dancing to electronic jazz - and the sumptuous, minor key bliss of the casual deep house jam -starting over-. fred p, meanwhile, delivers two contrasting cuts. there s some acid-fuelled deep house futurism in the shape of -circuit-, and a chunk of bongo-laden dancefloor humidity in -the road-, whose rising strings and sweet melodies are arguably the highlight of a superb ep.

one of these things is not like the others. put veteran producer and general madman eddie ruscha (aka secret circuit, laughing light of plenty, dadamunchamunky) in a studio with the spritely whipper-snapper diego herrera (aka suzanne kraft & 1/3 pharaohs) and your results will be nothing less than an epic jam. as the name blasé suggests, their laxadasical style and confident panache is abundant. the duo ease into their productions with a cool hand and an open mind, letting the moment take them somewhere foreign to bask in surreal surroundings, but not without documenting the trip.

techno-legends oliver bondzio and ramon zenker aka hardfloor are back in style this season! with their beloved machine music that is free from seasonal flares, and artificial flavours. hardfloor are still true to the core of their 303 platine circuit boards. electronic music production is nothing less than a bare necessity to these pioneers of the acid groove. hailed and namedropped by many a young producer�s today, revamped or sampled... acid lines emerge anew in quite a few tracks. but when hardfloor put acid in their tank - it is sooo much more and way bigger than a marketable gimmick or the fuel to an otherwise exchangeable battery of loops. it is the motor, the lifeline and the heartbeat to a whole organism offering a whole world of expression and � first and foremost - emotions!

the la duo return to machine limited with i stand alone along with a trio of dope remixes from secret circuit, mike simonetti (italians do it better) and detroits monty luke. lush and deep with psychedelic spaceman lyrics, classic house drums and italo-esque arpeggios. fyi: now signed to kompakt! supported by cosmo vitelli, mark e, eric dr. dunks duncan, ivan smagge, matt walsh and more.

nice price deal !!! fear of flying kick off the new year with the next instalment in their vinyl only series, enlisting the talents of matthew burton & kate rathod. >cyberg< has an atmosphere so thick you can cut it with a knife, a vocoded vocal and haunting pads imbuing the track with a distinct 4am feel. >mr magpie< ups the ante slightly with swung percussion and fx. the lofty kick drum and twinkling synths of >8 minute abs< and the subtle deep houser >hammer top logo feature on the b side. the second disc comprises of >raw moves<, a rough and ready analogue jam and the dawn chorus of >clive< whilst a trio of ambient skits, >analogue systems<, >raw circuits< and >beppe< round things off nicely.

following up on a stellar 2013, timo maas kick starts the new year with the final vinyl remix sampler taken from his album, lifer. this is his latest offering since tantra ep which was received with rave reviews and featured across rolling stone, xlr8r, clash, as well as played by some of the finest djs on the circuit from seth troxler, maceo plex through to luciano and danny tenaglia.

eintakt 29 >rauhv01< vinyl, including 2 exclusive remixes of nvelopes successful first full length >chords & scapes<, also part of the 3 track ep is the original song >tribute< by nvelope. nvelope presents his tribute version on a1, a track as simple as classic as good as you know what im talking about.longtime label fellow gunnar hemmerling (also man behind dock records) kicks off on the a2 with a quite reduced stomper (and as >stomping ground< is the tracks name he does good so). proper ancient techno vibes, enslaving the circuitry and drumming on the real heavy barrels. rob strobe and kai randy michel aka say what introduce themselves on eintakt on full b-side with a soupy submarine machine and you might dont know what to say (but the project name says say what) and i say get lost there then (and you probably will). the rauhv series are an upcoming collection of unreleased remixes of different rauhphaser releases

with france�s long-fallow club scene back in international resurgence as paris storms back into fighting form, europe now has found a new source for yet-unheard music. it was a long time brewing, but names like concrete, katapult, zadig, and society of silence, have begun to appear in the international clubbing circuit, and the growth is not limited to the capital. further south in lyon, a city quickly gaining its own renown for busy club parties booking bigger names, there exists a smaller circle of energetic operators whose name is also spreading rapidly and whose recent accomplishments include nuites sonores, boilerroom and more.

valcrond video, the label of brooklyn-based visual artist and producer luke wyatt presents its very first vinyl issue in the shape of two new tracks from torn hawk, one of wyatts aliases. first coming to the fore in a musical sense with a set of distressed guitar and asphalt beat attacks on the lies white label series, torn hawk has been closely associated with ron morellis label ever since with wyatt subsequently working with karen gwyer, secret circuit and willie burns. distancing himself a bit from the grime and grit some associate with his productions, the two new tracks have more in common with the more expansively voiced compositions on emotional response release teen hawk, or the cinematic melancholy of the untitled ep he released under the alias lossmaker. clearly wyatt is building towards housing all his musical instincts under one roof.

the founders of >pfand<, hali and yapacc, met each other in berlin and torontos nightclub circuit. they created the synonym >act natural< and debuted four tracks which describe the actual vibe and feel of berlins club culture. beside the purely minimal percussive tracks (pretty good & action - words), they created a vocal-based hymn, >berlin is killing me<, that perfectly expresses the mood after a long party weekend. for >revenge or insanity<, they invited julie marghilano to give the right punch in combination with a bumpy bassline that kicks you in your ass.
