the finnish tropical troupe maajo is back with a two-track ep. in contrast to the afro-balearic sound of their 2016 debut tropic of tulli, the new defo / mansaba ep is a step in a deeper and sometimes darker direction. defo kicks off the ep with a driving 5/4 rhythm. reminiscent of mark ernestus� ndagga sounds, it is a tribal tune with maajo�s signature ethereal disco elements. trevor deep jr.�s version straightens out the original�s unconventional time signature and focuses on a four-to-four beat and plenty of berliner dub. the remix is a solid dancefloor tool, traversing the original like a train making its way through a dark rainforest. the b-side is entirely covered by mansaba, a 14-minute long journey into inwards. this studio jam, recorded largely live, is a wild mixture of polyrhythmic sequences, krautrock guitar licks, equatorial forest percussion and violin synths. the trip starts slow and soothing, sneakily picks up pace and keeps grow and growing, eventually exploding into a full-on tribal dance.

the next release on shaddock records is more than just dance tracks, 2 songs that come with full-blown vocals, a re-edition of classic latin freestyle by jorge ojeda ft. hilda mariee with an up-to-date cover version by mr. & mrs. jonson. the original version is a slammer coming straight from miami the capital of freestyle music. driven by hard electro beats and ojeda s signature, miami bass with latin hip hop/ freestyle dance grooves, -betrayal- when initially released on ojeda s destune records became a club and street phenomenon in miami. it would be one of the first of many productions between jorge ojeda and hilda mariee and their project teaz ii pleaz.

founded in 2018 by dj and producer deni-shain the man behind acclaimed compilations space echo and pop makossa, atangana records is the logical follow-up to more than 20 years of travels, constantly on the lookout for new artists and music around the world. as a tropicalist globetrotter in this new project deni-shain, in partnership with thomas vicente, co-owner of the french restaurant le verre vole, aims to dig, reproduce & transmit cross-cultural music, usually unreachable and/or less known by the public. the goal is simple: share the love of music and to rediscover the pleasure of voicings, percussions and sadly forgotten harmonies, whether you find yourself in a jam packed club or the intimacy of your home. atangana�s first releases will be looking at the caribbeans islands, especially into haiti with the reissue highly expected by various diggers of the acclaimed single divizion by singer fedia laguerre. originally released in 1981, this first 12inch comes with a remix by voilaaa and an instrumental cut exclusively based on the additional work by the french afro-collective.

the german sebastian beus, based in ibiza-spain, get out with �the day after� ep for his debut on wats records. the ep expresses widely his personal and professional paths combining theoretical background with personal and artistic maturity and represents a mix of three distinctive aspects of his life: an open vision, a certain freedom, a specific place.

dropping on rekids this may, butch remixes good luck - basement jaxxs ubiquitous 2004 single featuring lisa kekaula. appearing on kish kash, basement jaxxs third studio album, the unforgettable single was nominated for a grammy in the best dance recordings category and also reached number 12 on the uk singles chart and number 2 on hot dance club play in the us. good luck also featured as the opening theme of 2004 anime movie appleseed, victoria�s secret fashion show in 2003 and 2005, and a version without lyrics was used for the opening sequence of bbc�s uefa euro 2004. real name bu&#776,,,lent gu&#776,,,rler, german producer butch has been a formidable force within house and techno for over two decades, enchanting crowds from all across the globe with his technical performances. highly regarded for producing compelling grooves, his releases have appeared on labels like desolat, cocoon, rekids and sei es drum, not to mention collaborating alongside virginia, c. vogt and ricardo villalobos (as butric). receiving regular early support from villalobos, butch has provided three different renditions of good luck and the remix is a rhythmic roller from the off, featuring numerous elements from the original whilst generating a cacophony of percussion as kekaula�s iconic voice is chopped and looped � the result is highoctane and geared for the dancefloor. the dub strips things back, purely using segments of the vocal for instrumental purposes as a whirring bassline joins deep synths and mesmerising effects. tying it all together, the drum tool is a high-tempo percussive cut produced for peaktime dj sets

cryovac recordings enters a new sensible era of home grown production focusing on strong statements of personal style. cryovac stresses a minimal approach to basic production with a simple soul to shape a tale of sound. the broke lighter e.p. is a versatile mix of characters that come together and combine their visions into one vista. this shared space of consciousness is translated to vinyl for your inspection. cryovac recordings continues to shine light on every corner of the detroit underground to expose a depth of talent that is overlooked. the 19th edition of the cryovac series is a moody stab at the heart of techno. it starts off with disc detroit s upliftingly melancholy 4/4 groover that transforms synth and turns percussion with a steady patience. dutch mike executes a smooth assault lead by a 303 harmony, backed by a heavy baseline and flanked by tricky programming that shifts cymbal formations. vontell c. and his son vontell f. sneak a dark vibe into the mix with a manic and excitable minimal ballad detuning and nodding out while detailing the burning of pretty things. andy garcia applies a minimalized motown sound via strumming guitar, vintage vocals, and easy beat that rises and falls creating a serene phonic envirorment. every track on the broke lighter is an opportunity to go in a new directio

kantamoinen is perhaps the most intimately beautiful yet little known lp in mika vainio s Ø canon, bridging the gap between his classic �90s minimal techno productions - compiled in the vital metri and olento collections - and the project�s subsequent turn to more ambient, kosmic and dub wise dimensions in the coolly brilliant oleva and konstellaatio albums.

having played at on loops 1st birthday in 2017 after guesting on moxies nts show the previous year, we are delighted to welcome lk back to the family for our seventh release. hailing from leeds, hes been a producer on the rise for a few years now after standout releases on labels like shall not fade and ruff draft. previously releasing under the alias viers, as lk he offers something with a more soulful touch. each offering on the three-tracker brings something slightly different to the package. title track �dreams has been made with the dancefloor in mind, whilst the summery �(i wanna) make luv 2 u is drawn from laid-back soul and motown influences. slow burner �summer of 93 closes the ep, with a direct nod to the slinky vibes of 70s disco.

relentless apparel wax never misses a beat and is back at it with aplwax003, the 3rd chapter of the saga. the release is made up of 3 tracks, 3 distinct parts of the same engine, 3 proper dance floor bangers. the ep kicks off with a compelling broken-jazzy beat, with its groovy breakdown and reprises and its funky vocals its that one track youll need to shazam on the spot. the 2nd tune will have you right away when youll hear those tribal rhythmics and hypnotic vocals that drive it till the end while the 3rd is the typical one youd call a peak time track.

vinyl-only ep with tracks taken from debut album, discovery in the atomic garden - previously releasing as community corporation on argot and crisis urbana recordings. like changing the channel, changes in one�s life can suddenly bring about a new perspective. after moving from detroit to seattle, producer taylor hawkins suddenly found himself on flora fm. previously recording as community corporation, this fresh beginning in emerald city brought new sounds into hawkins� repertoire. where he was once surrounded by cheap boogie and disco records in detroit, seattle�s used bins were full of uk imports, early 90s ambient techno records and the idm that followed. these new influences injected judicious breakbeats and top notch electro sensibilities into his already adventurous midwest techno aesthetic. it�s as if his music has come alive, each song a new sound world abuzz with fluttering synths, nimble percussion, and soaring melodies. recorded as single live takes using an mpc to control his drum machines and synthesizers, the flora fm music flowed quickly from hawkins and needed only gentle edits. the eight tracks on his digital debut album, discovery in the atomic garden, document his experience finding his way in seattle and in life, all through the lens of a fantastic and somehow futuristic musical viewpoint. the vinyl-only ep atomic garden includes four of the album�s most danceable tracks, all wrapped in gorgeous artwork by patrick savile

suolo delivers the next rora release with a banging minimal four-tracker of his own. 180g and vinyl only.

exile is the next level basecamp of johannes heil. we at exile know that it is nonsense to write anything about music, because music can only be translated by listeners ear. so close your eyes. dont speak. dont think. just listen..... we are exile. mastering and cut my dubplates and mastering berlin.

olaf stuut returns to atomnation with a new ep titled crown shyness. in his elegant, dark improvised style, olaf created 3 tracks that are ready for both dance-floors and home listening enthusiasts. olaf is known for his album run, the ep siren (with a very solid remix from dauwd) and his remix efforts for the acid, max cooper and sashas last nigth on earth label.

five italian talents of underground scene. solid ep from raw house to jungle jams. elio (dancing like quagmire / 800hz) received likes by marcelus pittman, roman flugel, pablo valentino and pender street steppers. keep an ear on this guy because many releases will come out soon. robbenspierre (dusky adriatic), sheesma party resident. he really doesnãt like to talk about himself. all you need to know is that he is an italian dj and producer and that he plays records that will make your ass shaking a lot and your mind blowing out of the floor. he drinks strongly, so offer him a drink and donãt give up.

with its third release, hundert is diving further into the technological maelstrom that has slowly transformed our perception of reality and what this thing called life is. dj oks private messages poses some crucial questions about how we find, form and maintain relationships in our day in age. fittingly, its sound was forged seemingly everywhere and nowhere at once: classic new york-leaning deep house vibes meet uk-inspired gunshot sounds and the frantic grooves of contemporary outernational club music, balearic feels converge with the slick sound palette of our digital environments. private messages is as immersive as an ever-refreshing newsfeed, but just as emotional and real as the next person checking in on you via imessage. dj ja and dj neins third effort can be as much enjoyed in the sweat-drenched physicality of a crammed club as it may serve as the perfect soundtrack for when you are home alone, connected with the entire world via a dimly-lit interface. these four tracks will touch your heart like a spectre attack would infiltrate the device you are using right now. and you know that it is unpatchable. all hardware problems are.

following two previous appearances on the -contemporary dance- and -quiet eye- compilations the elusive lyubocha makes their first full ep release through black opal. -noblask- opens proceedings and instantly energises with a bass heavy acid jam, sitting on a simple motif and crunching away into the dance.-berzerk- pushes with a slow burning, deep and dubby tech sliced open by red hot hats. -nenavist- proffers a floral counterpoint to the earlier acid, bejewelled back drops host a perfectly wonked 303 line popping off to the horizon. closing track -nikogda- rolls re-pitched kalimba/xylo styles into a ball and jacks it against the wall, hard. simplicity is a powerful tool when used correctly. lyubocha nails a warm, lo-fi techno minimalism on this debut release.

label news from our label. a bit of perspective: this is fun, sincere, serious, unambiguous and friendly - unlike politics today. a bit of press-pective: central wants these black and white records with club music on �em, so we do another one. this one homes 4 takes on vibes for the floor. how do we keep bs at bay?

like all dj koze records, knock knock exists outside of trend and influence. in fact, it s a step further beyond: absolutely every single thing here, from grooves to voices to handclaps, is otherworldly and unique. which is not to say it is utterly alien abstraction, mind. there is still disco, there is still soul, there is still techno, there is still hip hop, there is still psychedelia Ð there are even wafts of easy listening, lost crackly thriftstore record memories and... sort of... indie rock Ð but though it may sound familiar, it never does what your brain thinks it s going to do.

psychick visions from a dystopic parallax, closely mapped and cognate to the occupied plane we recognise but littered with nuanced distortions, twisting certainty just past the assured facade of familiar... for its inaugural release mirror zone unveils a repressing of an overlooked ep from uk artist memphis way back when in 1994. we re delivered complex, mystic rhythms nodding to the likes of pwog, paradise 3001 and sabres of paradise, the unique breakbeat-tweaked, tribal-trance epitiomising early 90s output from labels like kk, go bang!, dream and esp records.

brawther proudly presents his first full length album, transient states. just over 10 years into releasing music, the lp sees the frenchman collaborating with an array of musicians and his first vocal song, with the appearance of detroit unsung hero javonntte and the listeners gradually transit via dub,techno, hip hop, ambiant and straight up jacking numbers. brudan in leeds sees a new collaboration with daniel paul (cab drivers). the album also marks the start of his imprint negentropy, a long awaited home for all his musical endeavors and fantasies. without any strict musical policy but one based on quality over quantity, it will manifest the latest adventures and experimentation of the french artist.

deepartsound, perpetual rhythms, osunlade s -yoruba-, and many others � -about u- is trinidadian deep s first release for croatian label burek.

born and raised on the island of trinidad and tobago, today a place this producer calls -home- is found on various locations scattered all over the globe and a variety of influences is what is immediately evident by rich sounds and textures engraved onto this piece of vinyl.

a side, -i want- is the most laid-back moment, in lack of a better term. warm-sounding tribal percussions supporting the interaction of deep chords and wonderfully lush synths running thought the whole track only to get enriched with a beautiful piano line in the 2nd half. if there is track fitting to represent the sunset, that transition from day to night moment � -i would- is the one.

b1 -ghost- is the track on the record with the most forward-momentum. deep tribal rhythms and lush synth lines are a sort-of a leitmotif on this record and are present here as well, with an occasional vocal snippet that only deepens the magic.

b2 -abourisha- makes good use of those leitmotifs in a similarly effective but overall quite different manner. broken rhythm gives it a slightly different energy, making it an ideal track for those 5 am moments when a track like this marks the night.

nyra continues to shine on his own canoe label, making the most of the creative freedom to show every side of his musicality. -take my hand- deserves to be huge, displaying a devilish instinct for a simple disco loop, a powerful vocal and a whiff of fist shaking new york house pressure that will leave its mark long after the club kicks out. -life is trippy- switches stance entirely with a snappy boogie-indebted jam for lighter moments. -on & on- meanwhile summons a rowdy detroit techno backbone that, paired with the bold disco licks, calls to mind the kind of fare dj bone can so expertly drop. -falling for love- maintains the fusion of rough and smooth with equally brilliant, party-starting results.

superhuit music presents boogymann�s 7th concept album: boogymann & friends. boogymann & friends is an eight track concept album comprised of two parts: with remixes from the original album delight and other previously unreleased tracks that are best described as strong funky house music. the two eps combine influences ranging from deep to disco sounds of the elite level world renowned house producers such as: gene king, james duncan, manoo, david duriez, rocco, dan electro and boogymann himself. after six albums, teo -boogymann- moritz returns with this concept album and once again showcases his status as one of the greatest dj/producers for the global house dancefloors.

deep, soulful and techy treats by maestro eric ericksson. eric has been releasing his music since the early nineties on labels like fragile and planet e. in resent times eric�s music can also be found on papa records, local talk and freerange, to name a few. an elegant four tracker that starts out with the uncompromising and crude track �greed�, followed by �acquiescence� with its sharp and classy shuffles, lush strings and big sounding pads. the flip side starts of with �totality�. complete, raw sounding with morphing dubby stabs, combined with rough grooves and punching beats. the ep ends off with the pulsating, dreamy and sensitive track �closure�. nothing is left by chance when eric shows his vision and approach for modern electronic music.

omaggio brings the heat once again with the reissue of prana people, self titled lp originally released in 1977 on prelude. the aleem brothers taharqa and tunde ra (or albert and arthur) are prana people and brought a perfect treasure of disco/funk/soul to make you want to dance from the funked up �is your life a party� to that slow, head nodding sexy groove of �wishful thinking� to proper hands in the air feel good disco of �angels say flee� to the perfect strings and flawless soul of �all around my world�. the combination of the tracks and strong production make for an endlessly playable album, and with the legendary brothers, who since the 60�s have their place in music history, this is an instant buy if not already owned to add to the aleems discography of your collection.
