nested structure is the first great circles release from artists outside of philadelphia. thrive are tetsuya yoshida and hitoshi kojima. they both grew up in the north kanto area of japan. they first met at the club run by tetsuya yoshida called sound a base nest, which is known as having the best sound system in the north kanto area. in 2007, the duo started their dj / producing unit thrive. previous releases have included a split 12inch with keia yano for japanese label struct, and recent solo releases by hitoshi for always human tapes and for his own label ambivalent deviation. this record almost didnt happen! — tetsuya and hitoshi were picking up great circles records in japan and, having periodically communicated with each other about music, they sent us the struct 12inch to check out. while cleaning out the back of the car a few months later, the presumably empty record mailer was about to land in the recycle bin when we fortunately discovered a demo cd of unreleased thrive material inside. we drove around listening to it and week later we agreed to release a 12inch. the music on the nested structure 12inch is dark, foreboding, even outwardly threatening. its hypnotic, textural and rhythmically complex.

the mythical transdance from uk duo night moves is given a much needed official repress by domestica records and the barcelona label have spared no expense. a limited pressing of 400 10-s come housed in hand screen printed sleeves accompanied by a leaflet with complete biography of the band. despite the paucity of night moves discography, it s clear the duo of michael guihen and john davis have had an everlasting effect on the canon of synth music with their much admired debut. transdance was originally released as a limited 12- white label in 1981, finding favour on the dance floors of europe and new york city yet never really gained the wider exposure it richly deserved. original copies of the gc1 pressing of transdance still command slightly ridiculous prices on discogs so kudos to domestica for this rather special presentation which features a previously unreleased demo cut -life up- on the flip.

for those of you wondering what adesse versions was doing at our heist boiler room this summer in london, the answer is here. the “push it along” ep for heist is adesse versions first appearance on our label and features 4 stunningly raw and warm originals, and an amazing remix by new york’s ambassador of funk: ge-ology, together with multi-instrumentalist marc de clive-lowe on keys. after having released numerous records for jackmaster’s numbers, local talk and toy tonics, we’re happy to welcome adesse versions to the heist family. when he sent us his demo’s we had the tough job to choose the right tracks, cause there were just too many. the selection on the “push it along ep” features what we feel are his purest work up to date. with only a small amount of elements, he manages to create such a big and warm sound, finding a great balance between gritty percussion, rich analog synths and funky sampling work.

having first surfaced last year with their first various artists release featuring the dearly departed andreas gehm, the stealth mission label is back with another four-strong salvo of no-nonsense acid, electro and techno. naked eye people kicks off proceedings with the punishing jacker -short distance- before barrow boy whips up a perfect slice of malevolent 303 mischief on -btb (demo mix)-. on the b side there s space for a little more reflection with the spacious pings of bobby durst s -shape shifting- before mike storm turns the heat back up on the delightfully unhinged -dark sight (sims jff edit)-.

this is how brasil meets spain in germany. when 2 friends from sao paulo (dwu & gioc) sent this fantastic demo to rainer weichhold for his label gold rcrds and shooting star wade from spain added his trademark style for a boombastic remix. no more words necessary since wade regularly delivers proper dancefloor gems on suara or relief.

the turbo debut from gilmer galibard is a collection of four dark, visceral techno floor-destroyers from a young canary islands-based producer about whom we know relatively little. it also marks the labels first release to feature a swear in the title, offering a foreboding glimpse of the paranoid machine-driven warehouse terror contained within. by now you will have heard the demo in its entirety and are still dancing whether you want to or not. for my purposes, you will use the search engine optimization terms dark, visceral, techno, floor-destroyers and paranoid machine-driven warehouse terror to ensure that it finds its way to the 83 people who need to hear the release through this specific channel. you may tell people i am 26 years old and from the canary islands both facts are true and sound comforting enough but as you now know this does not matter. print this in its entirety and leave the release title unchanged. i would say ive said too much but that is impossible because as youve come to understand all of this has already happened.

four never before released or publicly available demo cuts from the writing sessions of craig peyton and jolyon skinner circa 1983-1985. the duo produced and wrote hits for artists in between working on their own projects. these songs survived the past 30 years on a cassette tape, which was lovingly transferred for this exclusive to peyton records release. after their short but fruitful collaborative period, peyton went on as a writer and band leader and skinner went on to have a career as a songwriter for pop acts such as joe, nsync, and freddie jackson. in the words of craig peyton: “jolyon skinner and i met in the early ’80s through our mutual friend keith diamond (the trinidadian producer of hits such as “caribbean queen” by billy ocean). after we met, jolyon and i started regular writing sessions at my nyc p-factor studio. our first break came in 1983 with howard johnson’s “let this dream be real-. that was followed up with “love of a lifetime” by melba moore and “where ya gonna be tonight” for will collins. after this we were offered a recording deal by april blackwood music, but due to my contract with profile records at the time we couldn’t accept it. shortly after skinner got signed to zomba and we stopped writing together around 1985.

after mike gervais’ strident work on sym017, ben sims’ symbolism imprint returns with spanish newcomer jlg’s four track ‘convolution’ ep. originally coming to sims’ attention via the demo section of his ‘run it red’ radio show/podcast, javier lg has previously released for dynamic reflection and substance but it’s the quality of his unreleased material that secured his place on symbolism. characterised by intricate and interwoven melodic rhythms, some at the forefront and some almost there, jlg’s debut for the label is an infectious and consummate affair.

this song has been in high demand since a demo was released to premier dj’s around the country. this transatlantic production was created by singer- songwriter reno ka who previously had successful releases on defected and cajual. featuring production by ron trent for music and power! getting played by louie vega (amongst others).

rolling out the circuits between hot sizzeling hi-tech funk, slamming dub-tech/half-step and subdued four/four techno/acid, label head claus bachor keeps you guessing with the original demo track and four huge remixes by terrence dixon, elec pt.1, lockertmatik / kryptic universe of scratched surfaces, deep determination, kicks, clangs, cuts, medieval water torture and exquisite elocution. there s a calming force tapping out from cologne s psycho thrill bnkr underground techno faucet, and -deep down inside- is a crowning example. the first vinyls of this final fished copy series (ltd. 300) went into hand-out during the past -movement- dayz in detroit via detroit threads and submerge (local3000 ur). there will be no repress!

zwischenfall formed in belgium in 1982 with michael sass (synths), martin urban (bass/vocals) and stephan kraemer (guitar/drums). they were united by their interest in combining electronic and traditional instruments, which developed the basis for 1982 demo recordings. by chance patrick codenys of the belgian electro pioneers front 242, heard two songs and decided to record a 4-song ep

the secret after-hour über-hit of the 90s, matthias strzodas tasse kaffee, gets its first release on 7inch vinyl on berlin-based label martin hossbach. strzoda is the go-to drummer for andreas dorau and rocko schamoni. while working on songs for dorau in the 1995 strzoda wrote the lyrics to tasse kaffee while dorau, tommi eckart (of 2raumwohnung, acting as producer) and strzoda composed the music. the b-side gives us a previously unreleased living-room demo from 1994 by strzoda of the andreas dorau classic

nice price deal !!! incl. les petit pilous rmx its not easy to forgive the vichy collaborator swine for helping nazis rule europe for 6 years, and as you might know...we at turbo are very much against nazis, in fact we recently refused to release a pretty good demo by a 92 year old >paraguayan< named klaus, cuz i just didnt like his vibe (or his track titles: >i got gold (hidden)< and that killer a-side >caught! (can i get a passport)<. but enough about nazis... i was talking about french people. ok, so they are annoying as hell, and they hate you, and they talk french... but they also make amazing luggage and bread. while working on the plans for my new boat,thomas von party kept annoying me with >work< thins like >we got more demos< and there is a fire at the office and i think oliver is seriously burned, he needs help<....so i was like, >ok, any good demos?<

blow out - summer 2016 nice price action ...back after a two year hiatus following their top 10 hit with >the creeps<, freaks launch their next episode with >umakenosense<, a mind-bending electronic monster package complete with bad ass radio slave remix.
>umakenosense< is a distorted trip into psychedelic territory through a minefield of cosmic energy. this is music that appeals to the mainstream and the dark underground, a formula that freaks have achieved time and time again.
radio slave has become renowned for his epic reworks, producing some of the best-loved remixes of the past few years. he doesnt disappoint with an expedition through low-end and high-octane stratospheres shaking out thegroovy beast and creating a sonic soundsystem mash up of a remix ... rewind!
freaks was originally the brain child of bournemouths justin harris and london-based luke solomon, but has mutated through its live format into a 6 piece outfit incorporating the infamous jonny rock on guitar, sascha darroch davies on drums, vocalist stella attar and rub on bass. with three albums behind them, a seminal label we know and love as music for freaks and a top 10 hit with >the creeps<, freaks have journeyed through filter disco, quirky mid tempo house and minimal techno to cement their own revolutionary style.
luke, justin and stella are now writing new material for their 4th studio album and a best of compilation (out end 2009). from early demo listening, it looks as if it will be a mesh of all their electronic, disco and leftfield pop influences and will undoubtedly re-introduce their fans to a whole new level of freakish behaviour.

this is the second versions ii - it s again limited, no repress.

from milan, italy we happily welcome onboard to eartoground, wrong assessment.
mainly known for his work on the prolific m_rec ltd, our attention to marco’s techno came from tracks released on cleric’s label c l e r g y, very soon after a line of communication was opened and demo tracks were created.
the end result is what you have before you. a six track ep consisting of x4 originals, x1 centralised locked groove and x1 atmospheric. functional, emotive, very playable, dj friendly, dance floor techno.
alien landscapes visually back time transfixed by way of bespoke, full cover artwork.

house is ok, but oli, janis and homeboy never said they were exclusively a house label. introducing house of life and dgf to the world, they make a slight change in direction. this split 7 inch single leaves the world of 4/4 interpretations and takes the imprint to the land of creep hop and trip pop. house of life is a project of chaveli sifre riestra & nikias chryssos. they make songs about men who dance with no pants, jesus christ, satan, and darkroom murderers. their lyrics are channeled through occult rites, internet forums, computer codes, and therapy sessions.hans with no pants tells the story of a guy who likes to party with kids, eat cake and serve cool drinks. he lives in a house by the beach and invites guests to dance with him, but what goes on in his basement remains an unspoken mystery. on the flip, a number from dgf, a project of nikias & label honcho janis. greif meine hand was originally written for the original soundtrack of nikas short film the grandfather. after it got to the 2nd place on the intergalactic fm demo competition and got props by the likes of i-f, rude66 and dj tlr, we decided to give it a second chance by putting it on this lush 45.
