robosonic has been a pivotal part of off recordings roster, their releases being highly expected every time and usually meaning instant dancefloor melting magic. with a hip hop and techno background and adding many frequent flyer miles with worldwide gig schedule, the pair shows no sign of stopping. this time is no exception, cord and sacha get back in their creative roll of sample wizardry to provide two mouth watering jams. they once again prove their love for organic sounds and reivindicate the use of the turntable as an instrument, adding that old-school vibe to their trademark beats. macho madness is quite a trip, sweet rhodes over a bouncy bassline, great sample work adding guitars and an insane speech. as always, breakdowns are intense and its impossible not to dance to the groove!for the second track, robosonic joins another off family team, mat.joe and together they go deep into their hip hop influences again working the samples as only they could, a little disco flavor, a driving bass...all the ingredients are there for another instant classic and a respectful shout out to detroit producer legend j dilla, who left the game too early. r.i.p!

i am sure joe goddard needs no introduction, the co-founder of greco-roman and leading member of hot chip + one half of 2 bears releases this stunning 4 track ep. the title taking over is, as joe says: a reference to that moment when the music at a club starts to really hit you, when it forces you to focus on it and the night ahead. featuring collaborations with boris dlugosch and mara carlyle, taking over is an attempt to make synthesizers sound nice. the lead single from the ep is the step together which was premiered on the b traits (in for annie mac) on bbc r1 last friday. since that announcement step together has received more plays across the bbc networks. we have big plans radio wise for this track and we expect to see a lot more plays forthcoming across, bbc r1, 6 music, 1xtra, xfm and kiss fm.

the 17th installment from aesthetic audio brings together italian bred producer joe drive and detroits own keith worthy for a two-man journey to fathom the depths of the sound oasis. on this journey, the soundtrack articulates joe drives lush and extremely deep textures, and worthy compliments the project by paying tribute joe drives original with a stripped down, raw and bumpy remix of amnios.

philadelphias own joe lentini has returned from mt. olympus with a bounty of dance floor ready sonic ambrosia. counting pink skull (throne of blood), tiger & woods, danny daze, donato dozzy, azari and iii, erika (ectomorph) amongst his musical admirers. lentini is the genius janitor of techno. solving complicated sound equations under the cover of darkness, he takes the findings to make tracks that bear a gritty resemblance to the now defunct chinatown bus.

mr raoul k finally got one of his personal ‘heroes to do a remix on one of his tracks. joe claussel takes ‘ayoka (taken from ‘neo-evolution 02?) to a whole new level. he adds a lot of jazz-tingend sounds (especially percussion) and athmosphere but manages to keep the overall african timbre of the original.

distorting former interpretations from the late unchained rhythms series propelling the primitive released >eno< into an entirely new dimension, resulting in what joaquin describes as a mind-fuck battle between himself and himself.

italian producer joe drive serves you his first ep for 4lux. and what an excellent ep this is. deep house tracks with a true analogue feel. rain dance is an exquisite deep house bomb with smart tr707 drum programming, deep driving bassline and disco-ish vibes. title song junopolis is dedicated to the legendary juno synths and shows you capabilities of these machines in clever fashion. alden tyrell brings you the extremely deep remix for tefnut: steady drum programming with spaced out synth filtering and dubby tape delays. this is one for the heads for sure. joe drives original is included too. recomended!

superb deep house massives out of berlin from joe le bon hailing from finland. continental atmospherics with subtle chicago crunch sounds! >life is a bird< is a lush and beautiful deep house track, while >spring 64< with its repetitious percussion and a touch of dramatic strings develops into a 10 minutes long epic. as a bonus there is >drumbum< - a dub-vapored composition which recently appeared on pro-tezs >knights of the sad pattern< compilation and was previously unreleased on vinyl. limited to 300!

with releases as rare as a week of sunshine in london, and a profile that makes burial look press hungry, it is with great pleasure we give you joes first tracks of 2012. two wickedly sleazy and satisfyingly peculiar tunes that as you would expect, completely defy categorisation.
mb - a loopy, sleazy, slo-mo roller with the slinkiest guitar lick riding a big-boned bassline. as with all of joes tunes, a little = a lot.
studio power on - the sounds of 94 jungle smashed to bits, thrown around a studio and taped back together for 2012.

limited edition box set, containing 7 x 7 inch vinyl and code for free mp3 download of all tracks.

though >the duke< is a tribute album, it is also very much a joe jackson album, consistent with his long-standing sense of musical adventure.
>i revere duke ellington, but i didnt want this to be a reverent album,< joe jackson says of >the duke<, his new tribute to american jazz giant ellington.

dubbed a structural prodigy by mixmag, south londons joe syntax is back with >modus bass fun<, offering the very best in dancefloor d+b with buckets of bassline bounce.
joe syntax impressed with his med school debut last year, both >signal drop< and >sightlines< were received with rapturous praise from mary anne hobbs (xfm), mistajam (bbc radio 1), marcus intalex, brookes brothers, tc, dj hype and many others. this was followed up by >red rhythm<, an uncompromising collaboration with lung and eleven8, which was released on med schools >blood pressure< compilation earlier this year. joes new ep takes his production to the next level, so prepare to adopt your bassface as we get syntactical.

for another record store day release, british singer-songwriter victoria christina hesketh (little boots) teamed up with historic chicago house label trax to release the 12 inch for >every night i say a prayer<. she wrote this one with hercules & love affairs andy butler and it is better than anything on his groups sophomore dud blue songs. (it is also better than pretty much everything on little boots own spotty debut, 2009s hands.) the housey original version of >every night< incorporates a sort of cleaned-up old-school chicago aesthetic (dig the claps), but tensnakes posh freestyle rerub is the vinyls real winner. you can never go wrong with clinking 808s and pretty female vocals. fact.

originally recorded for chris blackwell of island records the rights of ‘life of contradiction’ were then given to joe higgs who released the album in jamaica and the u.k. in 1975. it was immediately obvious that this was a unique collection coming from a completely different direction to the other reggae releases of the period. although joe had first recorded some of the songs in the early sixties for studio one it was as if he was at last able to realise a vision of his own music that had previously been denied to him: either by financial constraints or from not having the right situation with the right musicians.

a concept taken from the music of miles davis. originally produced by bob belden. remix and new productions orchestrated by joaquin joe claussell for sacred rhythm music.
