following eomac’s debut album “spectre” on killekill, released earlier this year, here come remixes of the three most outstanding track sof the album. tommy four seven picked the title track spectre, taking away some of the dense texture of the original, speeding it up a bit and adding some straight-forward percussion to turn the original into a big anthem for the mellow moments on the dancefloor. lars stöwe aka anstam is using his anno stamm-alias to rip the distorted bassline of the grimey su riddim out and add some playful bassline variations and some serious 808 business to it to turn it into a peaktime banger with lots of chicago flavour. and do what they do best and turn shell of dark into a half-tempo stomper that after a while breaks up to a devastating weapon of distorted drums and melodies.

the very first release is by montreal based artist, stefny winter who emerges here with a wonderfully crafted tuned project. slightly stripped down but at the same time, providing a low end, fizzle bass, winter pushes hypnotic rhythms with a not so subtle smirk. a wink to audion, or a perlonesque aesthetic, this ep ensues a groovy moment as well as heartily groove.

massive two tracker from jonny miller on his 2nd edits release on kat.what you did is quite simply a whopper! disco music as god intended it - arms aloft, eyes shut, inhibitions nowhere to be seen, smiles bigger than life itself. what we have here is not an edit as such but a reworking of chaka khans what you did, subtly housed up, re-arranged, chopped, fil-tered and re-mastered within an inch of its life - chaka herself pretty much always sounds in-credible but here the vocal just seems to stand even taller than usual. on the other side we have something in which some of our slightly older party folk may well recognise. dionnes house classic from 88 gets the full edit treatment and the timing on this just seems so right. originally released on the ace bigshot label out of canada (and was just huge in the hacienda), re-mastered, stretched out, re-arranged and making the most out of all those old school stabs, ploddy bass lines and timeless vocals.

as bass culture proudly reaches its 40th release, it gives us great pleasure to welcome back john jastszebski after he last turned out an ep for us back in 2012. releases for phonogramme and robsoul in the past two years have confirmed that he is a force to be reckoned with in the booming parisian house and techno scene. his approach on the would be back e.p fits in perfectly with the bass culture aesthetic, delivering tracks with a simple immediacy, always loaded with soul in just the right places, but never shirking the all-important groove. > would be back< s sturdy beat leads neatly up to a colourful burst of piano chords and rousing strings that make this into a perfect summer house cut. > fevrier< comes on with an entirely different season in mind, as mysterious and dubby tendrils of synths and samples unfurl around each other with a distinctly wintry mood. > my girl< meanwhile keeps the energy levels up with a stripped back, punchy beat, filling the space in the mix out with rousing pads that soothe and uplift.for a remix of > would be back<, we decided to turn to a long-time legend of the uk house scene, nail. his remix takes a more emotive approach to johns original, dropping in some playful synth lines and dreamy effects with stunning results. reaching across all seasons, situations and times of day and night, the would be back e.p delivers just the kind of versatile house music that sets our souls alight here at bass culture

after taking a short break house of disco records are back with a purpose. not content with the adding to the plethora of disco edit labels representing the genre they have opted to walk a more distinct path, determined to lean on originals or clever sampling as opposed to outright re-rubs. in this their twelfth release they recruit previous label-mate harry wolfman and compadre skinny love to provide three stunning dancefloor ready originals. the duo have certainly delivered on the brief and turned in three diverse and clever takes on what a modern disco track with a house soul can represent. on remix duties they have recruited a promising young producer kickflip mike, who has released on box aus holz as joschka seibt and paired him with experienced disco merchant the revenge who is responsible for some of the best remixes we know of, and he doesnt disappoint here with either remix.

nofitstate return with four tracks from hot talent a1 bassline whose reputation has been building of late from a succession of releases for the likes of dirtybird, get physical and gruuv amongst others. here hidden agenda finds the young producer in true devastating form. skippy percussion, a nod to the uks garage scene, vibes the track along nicely whilst the bass does the damage. burnt out piano island delves deeper, acting as a neat counterpoint to the more main room agenda. here the style is much more nuanced with a more hypnotic leaning. outsider picks up the pace against, albeit in a subtle, uplifting vibe with warped pianos and razor sharp percussion. t moe p rounds things off nicely with a moody bassline driven groove.

after a short hiatus, blawan & pariah return with their influential works the long nights imprint. teaming up together once again as karenn, here they display three tracks of all-hardware muscular techno experiments. highly essential, therein keeping with traditions of the label and artist s previous output, of course.

outboxx return to brstl two years on from their first release on the label, tougher and more dance floor focused. although primarily known for deeper house sounds for labels such as futureboogie, they have never been afraid to experiment as exemplified on their debut lp for idle hands. here they turn their attention to deep techno, with two stripped back cuts that retain the warmth of their other productions. sequential circles drills down on a singular, angular riff whilst neatly deployed percusiion hits at just the right moments. moon loop whirls round on a deep spacey groove in keeping with its title. another strong release from the bristol focused brstl label.

2014 has been a slow year for sequencias in terms of releases. most of our energy has been spent towards the development of different projects, like our new webstore, that has become an outlet for us to share some of the records that influence the way we do things. so, with the wax offering slowing to a mere trickle, who better to entrust with our sole release for the rest of the calendar year? dcantu, of course. cantus electro-heavy sound is fleshed out here and while still lean enough for dance floors, it makes bolder moves into atmospheric and melodic territory.

adam has spent nearly a year crafting his latest full length excursion. aptly entitled irreformable. his latest endeavor is sculpted in innovative sound design and mixed down in full dynamic range. spanning a theme of diverse styles from start to finish irreformable refuses to reform or conform to commercialism. the term all killer no filler applies here.

good morning children, welcome to school ! what might be known from ipoly mate 003, got a very different context here in the title track. heavy club food, flavoured by alec troniqs love for the energy of the early 90s. the chain was originally induced by old man trouble and then impulsively got the blues by alec troniq. it has a special place in their hearts and continues alec s series of crossovercollaborations in 2014.

in the heart of madrid the el barrio djs have been one of the biggest gamm supporters over the last 10 years or so, spinning our gems in various jazz clubs in the spanish capitol. we are now overly excited to have them onboard gamm with an absolutely stunning 3 track ep. the el barrio guys really know how to twist and rework various tunes into one song and the art of editing have never sounded better than now.

sandwell districts rrose launches a new label with a follow up to >motormouth variations<, last years unlikely collaboration with legendary improviser and synthesizer pioneer bob ostertag (named one of 2011s top 50 albums by the wire magazine).
for the debut release on eaux, rrose searched through ostertags cassette archives to discover a lost gem of studio improvisation from 1977. >the surgeon general< sees the barely post-teen bob ostertag exploring feedback techniques with an early buchla modular synthesizer, tape delay, flute and violin. the results are uncharacteristically moody, spacious, and well ahead of their time. on the flip, rrose provides two new revisions. >no child left behind< is a noisy and hypnotic acid-laden beast designed for dancefloor damage, while >her insides laid bare< takes the original into murky subaquatic territory. look for much more to come from rrose and eaux in the coming months.

ronald burrell s second release as equation on nu-groove is as deep as it gets. we re talking late night nyc back room deepness, often imitated but never bettered. -i ll say a prayer 4 u- is the lead track here, a sublime longing synth groove with a nagging bassline and crisp rimshots, a total -under the radar- anthem straight out of new york city circa 1991 and engineered by the equally as legendary bobby konders, a real undercover gem. the other two cuts on the ep drive further into the night, -domm domm, yeah mm hmm- is another dope basement groove, rocking some classic burrell flavours, and -my life- is a real down-tempo piece that reappropriates the roy ayers classic -my life in the sunshine- while giving it a real -100 bpm house- swing, don t snooze... all in all this is another classic release from the nu-groove vaults, re-mastered and re-pressed here for the first time in conjunction with nu-groove records and the burrell brothers. essential.

fracture is a new label which aims to release quality music on a medium we care about. this is why we chose to work with matt colton from alchemy mastering, and also why we decided to put only one track per side of a 180 gram vinyl. after a first ep earlier this year by berlin s i/y, this second release features signalweiss, one of the alias of prolific and talented italian artist dario tronchin (also known as chevel), here supported by a remix of milton bradley.the past years have seen dario exploring many directions, from intelligent dancefloor tracks to surprising housy & technoesque pieces. artificial is another occurrence of him blurring the lines between different genres, dreamy and abstract, it successfully creates a refreshing and unique atmosphere. milton bradley skillfully brings artificial completely into the realms of techno, keeping the original s track attention to space and melody, the track in his hands turns into a mental and punishing dancefloor bomb.

it is said that the gods of the dead demand you ritualistically commit to each intensely hot beat of the ceremonial drum. now, here, is the music for their celebration of death, music to dance together with, to oblivion, a music both spectacular and ecstatic where, like never before, the spirits of santería and vaudou mix with raw electricity into burning diabolical polyrhythms. we here present cut hands and festival of the dead.
the double vinyl lp comes in gatefold sleeve and includes mp3/flac download code.

ample play records release a heavy duty collection of richard norris recent time and space machine mixes on double vinyl, including download code. a man of many guises, he has operated as a duo - as the grid with dave ball, as beyond the wizards sleeve with erol alkan - but when it is time for some solo sonic action, he records and remixes as the time and space machine. we find him at it here: *the way out sound from in*, reworking the most cosmic beat combos around into hitherto unheard psychedelic shapes. warpaint, jagwar ma, temples, psychemagik, the sufis and more fall into the time and space machine and come out the other side with wider grins and shinier eyes. it is the way out sound from in ... all aboard.
