now already almost a year has gone by since “inspiration”, the collaboration between jah wobble and singer pj higgins has come out on sonar kollektiv. with “chaingang (remixes)” we get a further renewal of one of the eight tracks off the album. for instance utrecht, netherlands based multi-instrumentalist and producer pitto gets down to work to morph the song into an eight-minute spheric techno extravaganza. some sort of a teaser for his upcoming album on sonar kollektiv later this year (although it will sound completely different). also releasing an album on sonar kollektiv in 2015 is producer marlow from weimar. his voodoo version of “chaingang” draws nearer to the original and incorporates the jubilee style gospel chanting to a hypnotically impelling rhythm. at the right time at the right place this remix will cause outmost frenzy on the dancefloor.

the imprint has come a long way since its launch in early 2011 with four years under its belt and a catalogue featuring reputable names such as huxley, dj w!ld, julian perez and east end dubs. here we see the label push on with a collaborative release from swiss producer dan noel, most notably known for his work on memoria recordings and little helpers, and germany s bunte bummler of cécille records / 8bit fame.

not content with a rich and flawless back catalogue of releases under a plethora of monikers such as dabrye, jtc and charles manier spanning multiple genres on a wide variety of labels such as ghostly international, rephlex amongst many others, and a career spanning 15 years, 2014 seemed like the right time to make plans to create an imprint with the aim of releasing the the rich flood of music that flows forth from tadd mullinix’s ann arbor studio. those plans have come to fruition and the first release this year is a 3 track 12” from jtc.

the 30th release on the trunkfunk label comes from vinny villbass, one of the long-time driving forces behind the norwegian club scene. his two hot originals come with a remix from skancke and doc l junior.

after four years of parties and many years of clubbing and djing, yay has decided to make its own philosophy to offer music can be something tangible and lasting in time to come. for this reason yay is proud to announce the opening of their own label, only on vinyl, where groove after groove will try to make sure that all the passion and culture of this small, but at the same time, great way of underground electronic music, it can be achieved with an object that will never die. the first release leave 3 tracks from the young artist riccardo of imprints records. energetic music for all the different dance floors. enjoy it!

after the last lessizmore release found san proper and maayan nidam crossing swords for the simmering, jammed-out tones of it was a night like this, now the label turns to another close ally for a slice of discerning, upfront house music. louis mcguire lives many different lives in music, from drumming with indie pop outfit ballet school to playing bass for lo-fi electronica group the waves & us. now though his own solo productions are being noticed in the house and techno world, with this new ep following on from a well-received debut on supply records. the diversity of mcguire’s musical leanings feeds into his distinctive sound, as his own take on stripped down, sensual house music bristles with unconventional energy to make for an unforgettable experience that steps up to the most creative frontiers of dance music. live drum sounds rattle around the mix free from quantized safety, while the melodic tones come on warm and fuzzy, capturing the hazy romance of a late morning session as much as the early part of the evening. it’s apparent that mcguire’s weapon of choice is the mpc, channeling his love of gritty beats in the grand tradition of point g and j. dilla. you can hear the spirit of the most adventurous micro house pioneers in the quirky funk of light hearted, while Óreitha revels in the transcendental qualities of a sustained groove without even a whisper of monotony. even with these unusual qualities the music is resolutely built for the dancefloor, and that mcguire manages to be so creative and so focused in the same beat is reason enough to keep tabs on this multifarious and unpredictable operator.

from the lands that time forgot birdie is proud to bring you an ep of the highest quality from the artist currently know as causa. hailing somewhere from up in the hills on the border between deepest darkest east lancashire and west yorkshire (thats up north to you lot) causa joe is a long time friend of trevino marcus. joe is underground and a lover of proper house music and has never been interested in music trends (he is a fisherman for christ sakes). he has been making music under various guises for 15 years with an apparent 6 year gap to go fishing. he has had releases with 202/20 vision tusk wax and paper recordings to name but a few. as marcus and joe still meet regularly for a pie and a pint its no real surprise then that this ep of some of marcuss favourite music of joes has come to pass. enjoy.

2016 repress - outplay s third vinyl release will be from young mancunian artist loz goddard. with releases on large music and editorial he has been making a great impression with his combination of disco and beatdown house. a well balanced blend between samples and synth work makes this a varied ep and a great showcase for loz s sound. outplay s own fouk takes care of the remix, turning the lush it will come to me into a solid dance floor track with added bass line groove

the tireless nibc returns to the spotlight for the next instalment of his trunkfunk records imprint. with each of the labels releases revealing his on-point a&r instincts, and all of his productions and remixes confirming a command of the studio, love lesson is a future classic that adds yet another shade to nibcs rich palette. remixes come from tuff city kids, ian pooley and hans berg. pressing on pink vinyl.

the tracks here are in the brutalist machine house vein and the source material for * we come together* (by mazi as asp and john griffin as awoke) will be familiar to devotees of roots chicago house. the brodanse brothers * sleep won t come* is remixed by audio soul project and awoke. chicago based multi-instrumentalist jonn wallen contributes the dense * aesthete* under pseudonym *by gordon gartrelle*. * we get together* is a tribute to the 90s house that inspired us to start making music years ago. people reminisce about how things used to be better, but you must breath in the present. we keep with us those hallowed bones but let pain and suffering fade into the mist. we let memories fade in the depths of our neural web so as not to be paralyzed by the burden of sentiment. we forget to stay sane.

len faki initiates a new series on figure. a hybrid of picture disc and classic vinyl, 65.5 looks to the future of the label in a bold statement both musically and aesthetically. already well known for his precise works, and with a wealth of remix credits under his name, djs have come to know exactly what they can expect from a len faki production - pure quality and dedication to his art! with other key figure artists expected to contribute to the concept too, we re excited to offer up this beautifully crafted series of collectors items. the classic rattling techno stabs of basic pain procedure are reworked into a storming deep quest for the floor - one for the heads, the original was produced by a certain and much heralded uk duo in their early years of operations… len faki takes the haunting, bare bones of the original and modifies it gracefully, resulting in this high-end reprise. emerging from the hazy echoes of a late 90s rave in the uk, by way of chicago, the classic synth line could be the epitome of a genre that seems to live on timelessly without borders or the need for hype: dub techno spirit 2015!

here at nang towers we are really happy to have back slovenian talent sare havlicek, without any doubt one of our favourite producers, and to present you all his latest creation *movies for lovers*. sometimes we like to try something a bit different. often the process of creating an album can be a not-so-simple task: which tracks are the singles? which is the breather track? do we have ten songs? have we covered all the bases? the list goes on. sometimes the answer is to throw convention out the window and just try to harness a burst of energy and get it down on eighteen minutes-a-side of vinyl. we gave sare the following brief: lock yourself in a studio for four weeks and come up with a piece of cohesive work. abandon the formulas, do some experimenting and (most importantly) try some things you wouldnt normally do. *movies for lovers* is the result of that session and encapsulates the feeling of the journey sare embarked on to bring you this album.

the globally trendsetting house and techno family that is visionquest now turns to a new pairing of sonny fodera & gene farris for their debut ep on the label. entitled ‘we work it’, the two-track affair comes with a remix by visionquest man lee curtiss. australian sonny fodera has been at the sharp end of the dance music scene for years now, clocking up huge hits both solo and with green velvet aka cajmere, releasing albums such as afterparties & aeroplanes and appearing on cajual, defected, suara and many more top labels. gene farris, of course, is a chicago house legend who has been active since the nineties, runs his own farris wheel label and has released close to one hundred definitive eps on relief, soma and many others. up first, ‘we work it’ is a lithe ritual of house funk with bent synths and slick mid tempo drums. a spoken word vocal snippet muses on the intake of various substances and the drums roll on infectiously below. it’s sure to be a standout anthem in the months to come given that vocal line and the spiritualness of the keys all around only adds to the effect. the first remix comes from lee curtiss. this one is a much quicker and more peak time bit of tech house with textured, dynamic bass and plenty of drum fills. it’s an involved, more cosmic and tense take on the original, that will build great pressure on the dance floor. all in all this is another on point package from visionquest that will get played far and wide

scuba s musical biography has been a story of constant change. over the past eleven years, his music has zigzagged through bass, techno and house, at times dark and contemplative, at others bright and anthemic. a look at his discography bears out this creative restlessness: from the shadowy rhythms of a mutual antipathy and triangulation, through the soaring melodies of personality and the cardinal -adrenalin- ep. claustrophobia is more than just the next phase in this development—it s a culmination of everything that s come so far. as its name implies, the record is tense and inward-looking, but it s also rich and dynamic, nimbly moving through a panorama of moods and styles. rhythms expand and contract from one song to the next, textural passages give way to shimmering strands of melody, found sounds and field recordings breathe life into ambient sketches. the album is modern and understated throughout, but also touched with something unrestrained: the exhilarating energy of classic rave.

300 copies only, dj support from midland, dam swindle, oneman, deetron...
the next release on rinse is the second in a series of three eps of gorgeous, punch-drunk house music from label regular rupert taylor, aka xxxy. the follow-up to last years acclaimed 18 hours, it is a further spiral inwards for the tripped-out, wistful style he has increasingly come to make distinctly his own, with clouds of arpeggiated synth notes and vapourised voice rolling atop pillow-soft, droning bass.

having spent three years tirelessly growing the la vie en rose label from strength to strength, championing avant-garde house music and helping launch the careers of fresh new talent, label boss terence:terry: now steps forward with a string of his own works. inspired by his blossoming collective and following his recent remix of marcos baiano on lvr015, * acid heroes* ep contains three original terry productions truly for the club.the title track enters in strong punchy form, concocting deep industrial vibes and sinister vocals that echo into the darkness, until, half way through, it takes a more upbeat turn, lifted by reverberating synth chords. * cliché* slaps a little harder with a pounding bass and clashing symbols, before warming up with female wails and woos. a short, sharp taste of chord jabs and the journey builds up to what seems like the climatic futuristic ending, before melting into softer territory and a much welcomed infectious kick, for that last lease of life. rounding off with the murky, splashing number * testing the water*, deep keys and the expert layering of techno effects equals a sublime underground house track, most certain to arouse the dancefloor. * acid heroes* is served as the perfect appetiser to get you salivating before * house couture* , the first compilation from terence:terry: on lvr, mixing producers past and present, as well as a handful of unreleased future-gems to come on the label.
