killer release on new yorks sequencias label. powerful and hypnotic chicago acid inspired cut on the a and a cool slow building chord driven track layered over raw drum rhythms on the b-side. recommended!! label promo text: sequencias does not stop, does not conform, takes no prisoners. our third release brings you a pair of artists from two different points along interstate 94, who have a reputation for the very same. so lets get to it. the main body laid down by villan x is tight metallic percussion underpinned by solid kicks and a stream of robotic filtered bass, containing unexpected shifts within the frequency register. foreboding tones and feelings drift towards us across which the disembodied voice of kold is able to find a platform from which to shudder into our consciousness and pose questions from across the galaxies about the nature of our very being. dcantu carries on the feelings of space, with protracted white noise shots and stabby modulated organ chords, but doesnt leave it long before setting the pace with solid drums and shifting keyboard funk aimed squarely your body and the dance floor as octave changes force you up and then down again to a backdrop thick with texture. this provides for the body and the mind. act fast though, sequencias does not like to rest.

this 2nd ep built from the full length features the title cut from the album and is followed by a deep remix of darlene from chicagos very own. the fresh spaced out starts the flipside and a previously unreleased version of memory chant comes as phase ii.

the wind up of phillip lauers album debut phillips (still available in all formats including gatefold double vinyl) is in the hands of nyc remix/production outfit runaway and versatiles very own i:cube. runaway do their best to turn tentatious into one of those early morning deep house dubs that you could find on the b-side on vintage designer labels of their hometown. music for baby powdered wooden floors. i:cube does the opposite and manufactures a bumper car boogie beat that also works as a uk rave dub. he likes to move it. on the flip, lauer himself turns in the hidden album track boringtone - his very own secret ode to the café del mar - and the super exclusive smashing pumpkin that is highdimes 100percent overground melodies

repress 2015! after several cooperations with aka aka and niconé, umami come up with their first very own single. we dont need words should explain all what you get from umami: melodic but stripped down to the essential ingredients track which make them catchy and danceable!

odd002,kdim ep comes from a pair of german-based young guns glenn astro and imyrmind. the two artists met in 2007, both sharing a burgeoning interest and eclectic taste in music from a young age. they frequently began swapping beats, ultimately culminating in a very raw and yet mature sound, which immediately grabbed our attention. the a side is a sweet and sultry jaunt, complemented with hip-tugging beats. whilst their remixes on the flip side show off a unique and finely tuned ear for the dance floor.

i light another cigarette in the tittery the sparrow has landed. we have returned from our excursion to the modern and would like to share what we brought with you: some showtunes and a twelve tone row. the show, as it turns out to be, is our very own. we started out writing new material to perform on stage, after we had found out it was great fun to refrain our instrumentation to vocals, piano and bad acting. originally very attracted to the- as our label told us- very clandestine idea of releasing three 12inches with very limited playability for djs, we agreed not to ruin our dial friends and work on an album instead.

we are very pleased to welcome bleak on deeply rooted house for his second release on the label, a pure techno 4 track ep and one of the strongest deeply rooted so far! dj deep:i have been very impressed with bleaks talent and how he can combine different styles of techno and still produce very personal music. each track, in my opinion, has a life of its own, it starts in a certain way, and takes you to different places. the arrangements are very subtle, sometimes hypnotic, very intense and emotional, the way the drums evolve and drive the tracks, or how deep chords apear in the back ground taking the track to a differrent territory etc.i hope youll like this 12inch as much as i do!

marlow is one of these music makers that takes his time to shape up his precious output. it has been nearly 2 years since his widely acclaimed put off ep on rwav, an ep that made a strong impact amongst all kinds of connoisseurs & became a favorite of the rwav fans and beyond. this is exactly why his return has been so awaited by many and why we predict that there will be no disappointment. as his early works on tanzmanns moon harbour, his appearance on dennis ferrers objektivity or his last 3 years output on dairmounts rwav witness, marlow got a very unique way to display his love for deep & obscure black music, combined with a natural sense at crafting genuine house music.

after the successful release of the expert escapist 12inch on diametric. in late 2010 and the inclusion of the track nanomal on last years music man mix cd by marcel dettmann, our purveyor of straight no nonsense techno mr. kevin m. kennedy returns with four new slices of dancefloor techno. if you like your techno edgy and direct in your face, this is the record for you. hailing from columbus, ohio, usa, kevin has already released on shake’s frictional label and on the detroit based xplor label (as sleep engineer) and others, and is a very welcome part of the diametric. family now. 300 handnumbered limited vinyl copies only. no digital distribution.

for its 35th release, be as one continues to keep its unique trademark sound, and this time the israeli imprint has looked in its own backyard to find the goods. magit cacoon, dj and producer, tel aviv born and berlin resident, and popsled, israeli duo composed of guy astrogano and niv konforty land on be as one with higher point, which brings a classic house mood on the dance floor, with its very hypnotic vocal, the big bassline and driving groove. greek house star argy is an apt remixer for this type of track and indeed, no surprise he delivers a storming remix that again hints a lot to the classic sounds of house and techno. detroit legend rolando closes the package with his techno takes on the tune, a rather hypnotic version, bass infected and driven by rolandos trademark drums patterns.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

for the next outnl we prepared a package with 2 of our favorite artists of the moment. on the a side we have a track by glaswegian james johnston who has had an immense year with releases on labels such as fine art, under the shade and boogie originals. we are very pleased that james decided to release his deep burning that was now on outernational. on the b side we find ben la desh. who returns to outernerational with the breezy but ferm drug carrier. while his previous release doctor bills is still making its round through the clubs and podcasts. we are sure drug carrier will even turn more heads.

following on the outstanding slz single -slow down & dance-, organic-music returns with the very fresh -aku mencintaimu- ep from doubtingthomas, the ep kicks off with the excelent -the long way round- a fusion of precise electronica and slow jazz,pure beauty !!! in a different strong and distinct mood, -koosh- with it s dinamic driving beats and beautifull hidden melody, the third piece -too much information- takes you in a vibe that resembles diving into the deep where you lose sense of time. together with its prolonged sounds that grow on you subtly, it is very danceable although very abstract and liquid piece. its just too good!! to complete the ep, koljah takes on -the long way round- and deliver a superb dinamic and melodic remix.brilliant piece of athmospheric house music that builds a solid groove that has you locked in from start to finish

very limited blue edition! stereo 7 records presents dark snow house from russia.dark november is an exiting debut ep from aerofeel5 – a tandem of 2 russian producers combined an unique vision of contemporary club sound. they arent afraid to mix musical styles, to go beyond borders of common traditions.

deep house mestro nacho marco joins forces with sais and fabiani and together they are dropping a balearic house stormer (with a certain jan hammer influence). although they keep the things simple the track relentlessly grows during its whole length to full effect. ooft! is on the remix duties. he speeds up the track, so the purist can call it house without suffering, and he does a great job while doing it, taking the whole thing into deeper territories.
all that on a very limited 12 inch with screen-printed artwork and download coupon. with amazing silk screened artwork by graphic genius pepe medina. includes code for free mp3 download of this release.

with eddie cs previous creation for lets get lost barely out of the barrel of the the labels finely engineered hand cannon we are bombarded with two more selections from the canadian turned berliners seemingly limitless arsenal of secret weapons. masterful re-arrangement as ever ever from the now seasoned producer. side a yields wonderfully quirky balearic vibes while on the flip a horn and string led disco barn stormer reminiscent of a rub-n-tug unknown gem provides what is, for us at least, the highlight of the ep. two very different tracks and a great package all round.

secret circuit, having been knighted by tastemaker tim sweeney by releasing their first 12? on his beats in space imprint, seriously run the voodoo down with this intense jam:jungle drums, spellbinding exotic chants once obstinately nesting in your head once you heard them, cheeping, bleeping and tweeting dub noises messing with your sense of orientation, gyrating guitar chords in a my bloody valentine style and between all this wonderful sonic chaos a slightly latin jazz tinged piano breaks its way. a beautiful maze of a track where you easily can get lost in for the rest of this summer. on the flip portugals tiago accentuates the cosmic rock vibe throwing in an aggressive guitar riff that sounds very much like chicagos im a man and prins thomas chucks the looser jam-like first part of the original over board and bundles the psychedelic elements to a breathlessly, constantly intensifying pressure cooker.

little is known about the norwegian bunny & bear duo known simply as the glue. their last appearance with us came courtesy of kolour ltd and we knew right then that these boys were in-store for their own ep with us and we are pleased to announce that it has finally come to fruition.
remix duties see the return of the incomparable dead rose music company to the kolour fray. he takes the title track and rubs it into a chunky piece of dancefloor business that has without a doubt turned into one of our favorite remixes to date.

so what is after the void ... we bang the bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenades, obvious really! having been away for some time it appears that a light sounds dark spring is in the air. en route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants danger electrified tracks out this summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, its full steam ahead and proper european dance music time. not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like maltas very own ian dury by the name of iain richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic italo covers of big in japan, gloria, a wonderful new wave version of falcos euro smash der kommissar and the thoughts massive german hit wait a long time sounding like some long lost talk talk record. light sounds dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems axodrys you and colme 111s you take me high (early euro take on chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky theres some groovy goings on from kraut funksters epsilon urging people to leave the city which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.
