2015 was probably the busiest of my career, during the course of the year i lived many hours of flights and delays at airports, stayed at hotels with wonderful views immersed in nature and others, on the contrary, very urban. i must admit that many of these scenarios were the kick start of the creative process of oscillators ep. this is an ep conceived strictly for the dancefloor, and its creation was a perfect combination between air and land, as all the tracks began on a plane and were developed on land. a very important part of the creative process when youre working on a track is the mood youre in, and there is always an extra excitement before, during and after each show, the space where you work. i take advantage of that moments and translate those feelings into music. - flug

this record was written with the intention of conveying classic aspects of house music. track names such as “paradise garage”, “the warehouse” and “zanzibar club” come from monumental clubs that helped shape the history of house. it s true roots in chicago (the warehouse), to new york city (paradise garage) and new jersey (zanzibar club). this 12 features an heavy low end bass line surrounded by a fuzzy acid, brisk and grubby house beat, lush chords deliberately sitting alongside with crispy clear high end vocals. it s about respecting a legacy, the foundation.

its been a couple of years since classic released an original artist album, the last one being luke solomons critically praised timelines. this time round classic brings a relative newcomer into the fold. eli escobar has slowly been building a credible reputation out of his home in new york, releasing his first single back in the late nineties and moving more recently from hip hop into dance music. as a dj, he harks back to a golden era of disco and early house music, graduating through the 90s during which he was brought up on a diet of underground house including classics early output. in recent years classics head was turned by his wonderful album up all night that was released on night people, a label from new york that eli (pronounced el-ee) has a vested interest in. following up the album with a series of singles, the label swiftly became a cult dance classi

ltd 2016 repress - delusions of grandeur have had an exceptional couple of years since their inception in 2009 with fourteen vinyl 12s from a host of producers helping to put them at the top of the pile of underground labels making house music for discerning ears. it was only a matter of time before the label took the logical next-step into artist albums and here they are with the debut lp from 6th borough project entitled one night in the borough. its more than likely that youve come across 6th borough releases or edits on labels such as instruments of rapture, jisco or permanent vacation as well as having kick started the whole thing off here at delusions of grandeur with their release the soul part ii (under the aka craig smith & the revenge). its also more than likely youve been in some late night establishment whilst the revenge provided musical accompaniment on his record players seeing as he is one of the most in demand djs playing underground house and disco on the scene right now.

in 1979, the critically acclaimed artist ralph macdonald (who co-wrote just the two of us with bill withers) released his third lp via marlin records. though the reception for the album was mixed - most agreed on it s musical highlight, east dry river . 37 years later, and just in time for the arrival of summer, fly by night music s calypso weighs in with a fitting edit, respecting and captivating the original beauty of the track, making just a few subtle changes whilst revamping the percussion. someone pack the suncream, this party s going outside..

nice price deal !!! a good year lies ahead for sonar kollektiv: one of the stables most successful and most enduring horses is back at the starting gate. after a hiatus of seven years micatone will finally release their new and long-awaited fourth album >wish i was here< in march. with >gun dog< we get a jaunty candy as a taster for the enhanced richness, maturity and deepness of the berlin based fieve-pieces sound. in addition to the original album version the 12 inch features a more laid back rendition (shuffle version) and a remix by sonar kolletiv honcho alex barck. after his widely acclaimed remixes f.e. for incarnations and jeremy glenn, barck once again shows proof of his understanding how to make a proper song work in the club, most preferably at peak time. building up and up until half way through it suddenly breaks down to cause one of these magic, energized moments almost every respectable dj longs for. therefore, we dont see any reason why you shouldnt bag this one in!

the aim of „métamorphose“ is to offer a voyage to the listener. the pieces really often start quite dark and then the mood turns into something intimate to catch the audience from the deeper spheres. sometimes it goes the other way as well: the track starts in a happy way and turns into a deeper vibe. by doing so the listener should notice his own feelings and try to completely let himself go. further he should be aware of his emotions: on the one hand the happy and melancholic and on the other hand the dark and rather monotonous side. in addition to the musical part to each track there is a specific artwork which was made while listening to the tracks and is based on the emotional expressions which were triggered by the sounds.

dystopix comes 3 years after the last neud photo record and the wait was well worth it. things have gotten darker with this release. elegant craftsmanship, subtle but effective vocals whisper throughout, and as always, it s cybotron influence is clear. the tracks flow with an eery cohesiveness, making it neud photo s most well told story to date. the hard part is figuring out whether the story is fiction or (soon to be) reality. these 6 electro hits can easily be enjoyed either chapter by chapter (songs for the mix or dancefloor), or as a whole (for bedroom listening). mastered by rude 66 first 60 copies include a handstamped photo insert. super limited us imports

some believe that the environment in which you make music – from the studio space, to the location itself – has a profound effect on the creative process. immerse yourself in the world around you, the theory goes, and it will shape the music you make. listen to gorthleck, the third album from veteran downtempo alchemists benjamin smith and paul ‘mudd’ murphy, and you can almost visualize the craggy, windswept and breathtakingly beautiful environment in which it was made.

the music has come into my life when i was about 9 years old, thanks to one of my sisters tape with songs by bob marley and the wailers. so i switched from reggae to dub, from dub to jazz, from jazz to radical improvisation in a moment.now i m 33, and after producing pretty much any kind of music, i want to put together what i still like of dub music with that of the south of europe, which is the place where i grew up, melting everything together with vintage equipments and working with modern machines at the same time. playing and producing this music has been therapeutic for my head. making all this known is for me like seeding again the love for music without any distinction. andrea gabriele 1981 - 2015

in 2007, renowned french producer julien jabre tracked down the american gospel singer phyliss mckoy joubert on myspace. joubert was already a cult figure for house aficionados thanks to -stand on the word-, a song she wrote and performed with her -celestial choir- in 1982 that became a staple of the club scene in new york. it resurfaced as a mysterious bootleg in 2000. julien, who d fallen in love with the song, was eager to remix and officialy rerelease it. when he finally reached out to phyliss, she explained the multitrack tape had been lost. the only thing to do was rerecording it-along with 10 other tracks. today on french label elias, julien and the joubert singers are releasing -stand on the word- in its original and unique 1982 version (mistakenly named after larry levan) and 3 brand new mixes including a fresh dimitri from paris remix. that s how the good lord works!

work them records founder spencer parker presents the first in a trilogy of releases as brotherhood. the brotherhood moniker was originally coined as a way of differentiating parker s berghain appearances from his panorama bar appearances, hence why this series under the alias will be concentrated on techno. thudding kicks and eerie atmospherics pave the way in chapter one - a physical techno number that warps and changes throughout its almost 8 minute duration. chapter two then employs a twisted melody that works alongside a remorseless low-end throb until chapter three concludes the package with punchy percussion and echoing effect

freaks was originally the brain child of bournemouths justin harris and london-based luke solomon, but has mutated through its live format into a 6 piece outfit incorporating the infamous jonny rock on guitar, sascha darroch davies on drums, vocalist stella attar and rub on bass. with three albums behind them, a seminal label we know and love as music for freaks and a top 10 hit with >the creeps<, freaks have journeyed through filter disco, quirky mid tempo house and minimal techno to cement their own revolutionary style.

after a 10 year absence, portugals question of time records returns in 2012 with brand new vinyl and digital releases. the label was a hugely influential house and techno imprint in the mid 1990s, with everyone from sven väth to carl cox, laurent garnier, mr. c, tony humphries, and dj pippi having supported its groundbreaking releases in the early days. the labels first release of 2012 comes from qot label boss and long-serving portuguese dj hero j. daniel. the >change it< ep features four wildly different mixes of daniels new single. one of the mixes comes from the co-founder of the new qot - ambient house techno experimentalist aqob. overall the package is an entirely absorbing, intelligent and unique club ep that is impossible to categorise. it firmly sits outside the realms of todays club trends.

the dutch artist releases music at a rate of knots – there’s been at least nine albums under the legowelt name alone now, and he has over 30 different aliases, all of which interact in weird, wonderful ways. his music has appeared on labels as disparate as unknown to the unknown and cocoon, and he’s got a reputation as a real studio wizard – not only due to the hardware in the studio, but the sample packs and plugins that he gives out for free online. on top of that, he’s about as unpretentious as it’s possible to get.

primitively made sample­ based electronic music w/ drum machine, tracked live. music which has no right to exist ­ sampled, then resampled. second release and first widely distributed material by a project which fermented in the basement cave for a few years before going public. music about loss and the developmental/gentrification hell which has blanketed once homely neighborhoods. tricks of the eye, tricks of the mind, what was never to be again.

the berlin-based producer is kicking off his label with a four-track single. while he is perhaps not as name-checked as some of the hardware hawking house heads of modern times, arttu snellman has been working hard at gritty box jams for a good few years now. he first appeared under his arttu guise in 2011 with the nuclear funk and fear diluted singles on royal oak and philpot respectively, and then proceeded to wheel out tunes for 4 lux and chiwax over the ensuing years. prior to the tough-edged pump of his current ventures, you could find snellman indulging in a more laptop-centric kind of practice under the name lump. this more minimalistic, glitchy house fodder could be found on labels such as karloff, morris/audio and süd electronic amongst many others. back in the here and now though, arttu was last spotted on clone jack for daze earlier this year with the rave dogz 12”, and next up he’s taking matters into his own hands. existing fans of arttu will be more than pleased with the heavyweight, crunchy tackle that inhabits cyblo01. this is dynamic business with same heft found on previous releases from snellman, mixed in with the cheeky flair that has always marked his productions out in a crowded marketplace.

after making some massive claims regarding electronic music last year which caused a stir in the dance music community, mat zo had a lot to live up to with his long awaited second album self assemble. what didnt help was the fact that his first album, damage control was critically acclaimed by many within dance music and is now considered a modern-day masterpiece with mesmerising tracks such as the sky and the massive easy with porter robinson.

riot 37: 4 remixes of 4 tracks which will take you on 4 different journeys, all of them, undoubtably, in first class

die mischung von dub und techno gibts ja schon eine weile. aber wie der gute jpatterson sie anrührt, erfüllt alle kriterien für das, was man gemeinhin als frisch und spannend bezeichnet. seine rustikalen grooves stehen für draufgängerische tanzbarkeit in waschechter prog-a-dub manier, der klang seiner trompete für eine gefühlsintesität, die es in der digitalen musikwelt so nicht gibt. das zentrale element von elevator ist aber die stimme - bzw. die ansteckende lässigkeit, die sie verbreitet. mit der dub version liefert uns jpatterson einen in rhythmus und melodie gebannten sommertag. es wird tatsächlich noch spannender, denn eine handverlesene meute aus dem acker-umfeld hat elevator geremixt. timboletti kommt im digitalrelease mit schleppend-bewusstseinserweiterndem afterhour groove. dole & kom gestalten das teil zur hintergründigen hymne um. und mollono.bass schafft in der stilistischen schnittmenge von dub version und original eine hochgradig tanzbare ryhthmuskulisse für die schwerelose trompete.

it is the year 2016, and the easy money remix series is even more back than it was last year! the outside agency - in their still ongoing quest to obtain the most speedboats - have sourced yet another batch of remixes from their friends for the highly anticipated follow-up to 2015 s easy money remix ep 2. deathmachine, detest and fracture 4 are the next three artists to deliver their undoubtedly smashing renditions of their favourite tracks by the outside agency. the deathmachine remix is epically epic (and 9 minutes long), the detest remix is lightning fast and the fracture 4 remix is depressingly slow. again, highly recommend by speedboat salesmen everywhere!

the original move your butty (1992) gained cult status and the time seems right for a re-release of this gem. it was originally out on the legendary london based irdial records. thee j johanz decided to replace samples with synths, which gave him the freedom to create a totally fresh and moody remix, good enough to keep our buttys moving for the next 20 years. the strings of the elka synthex give you wings, while the typical move your butty bassline is pumpin you up. expect the unexpected from prins thomas remix: very refreshing funky eighties electro vibes, or is it the sound of the future? an original approach with an oasis of move your butty references in the middle. an excellent remix of the remix

that night, we answered a regular call, something about crazy loud noises coming out from a basement. while driving to the area all i could think when i first heard the bass stomping was: “man, whatever, this doesn t even sound like music to me.” and we were at least a 100 meter away from the source of the sound. when we got there, after knocking several times on the door, we decided we had more than enough probable causes to bust in. after a warning, we kicked the door open. what we saw inside was a five feet tall woman jumping around in that cacophony. we screamed and she ignored us, my colleague then panicked and shot her with his taser several times – she then simply pulled the probes out of her body shouting moments moments – and continued to jump around..

the story begins at the heideglühen club in berlin where the true romance crew saw ojpb play. in the midst of his set he dropped a mysterious track that completely lit the crowd up, it was e-lane 2 troy. in this offering, true romance introduces montreal based ojpb (also known as bowly, dÐd, mtsp). through this alias, french-born olivier borzeix delivers raw and adventurous rhythms sourcing his inspirations in rare funk disco nuggets and the golden age of house music, blending it into what he likes to call : hypnotic soul. e-lane 2 troy is an uplifting cosmic mind bender. with its brilliant disco loops and infectious trance inducing melody, this is one that will fill and fire up dancefloors all over.

the mix is influenced heavily by how i used to dj at the first party i ever promoted, named seismic, and another named monox which was a straight up techno night where i was a resident from the age of 17. and although it wasn’t my plan, it turned into a kind of tribute to the cities that really formulated me as a dj: detroit, chicago and glasgow.
