tomoki tamura s holic trax label has been nurturing tuccillo among its many regular artists over the years, and now the italian wonderkid returns with another distinctive run of jams from the wild side of deep house. there s a psychedelic quality to the rich textures that vibrate throughout -g-capsule-, while -pierrot- keeps things lean and limber with some minimal percussion and a cheeky bassline that will work wonders in the mix. -playhead- takes old skool new york house into a modernist mindset, and then -los amigos- finishes off in a more sensual celebration of unconventional house music.

following 2014 s untitled 12 inch on the rush hour store jams imprint, amsterdam based faster action (this time a solo outing by interstellar funk) now surfaces on l.i.e.s. with a fresh two track 12 inch. stated as dj tools for the djs this is what we get here, with the a-side sounding like an late 80s industrial strength 909 driven ebm cut, while the b-side goes strong with a metallic beat track perfect for the adventerous working dj. 100 percent club approved! act quick!

originally self-released as a 7inch in 1982, plath release is definitely one of the obscure gems of the italian underground. tip!

mysterious producer kian t is a crazy guy living in a lonely house on a top of a hill somewhere in italy. surrounded by a collection of rare old synths and vintage samplers, a little dog and the best red wine of italy. kian is making beats all day long. that’s his life. he started his career on toy tonics last year and now is back with an own ep - full of that fucked up, jazz influenced cut & paste house sound that is taking over the house world since last year. similar to his friends rhode & brown, fouk, nachtbraker or the guys around oye records in berlin he loves to create this special way of sampling old jazz records and using rare vintage synthesizers instead of digital computer sounds. just listen to a normal deep house records of the last years and compare it with the sound of the kian. using these old synths makes a big difference. you can hear it on every of his tunes: there is no cheap sound here everything is fat and has a very warm, personal, always easy to recognize sound-aesthetic: courtesy of the four synthesizers he uses: the korg polysix, the sequential prophet600, a roland juno 60, and the legendary oberheim matrix 6. and courtesy of the way he mixes his tracks: not in the laptop - but the old way: on a fat old mixing desk. thats why he has that massive sound.

weve waited really too long to release this ep. these tracks were given to musique risquée more than 10 years ago and waited since then on harddrive before they got rediscovered on a boozy night in tokyo. they have not aged a bit, fresh as when they were given to us. maybe we werent ready then. but we are now and hopefully you are too.

solarism is the result of a common fascination for landscapes and a passion for contemplation. after two decades of an unbreakable friendship, we have finally imagined a way to express what contemplation has offered us and how it connects us to the world, describing those experiences through musical compositions, dj performances and welcoming other artists to release their art. here is how markus described his mind’s landscape composing these pieces of music, and it talks more than any description: have you ever thought that you are two people? do you have memories that are so detached from who you are now that you sometimes believe they are not your own? like something you have read or seen in a movie? you wonder who that was, your very own tyler durden? and here he is with a gift from another time when i was another person, living so fast and unconscious that i eventually almost lost the only thing we really have – my life.

2016 re:issue , one of the most influential hip hop albums of all times.

tomahawk records is a new label that resists genres and hones in on the curation and sound of new artists. the label is keen to push undiscovered artists out into the periphery and give them the support to help grow as individuals.
the first release which is just round the corner is by the australian duo anthony fade, two hidden gems found on soundcloud. their process is a simple combination of hardware and software instruments and heavy use of ambient recordings and various samples. the ep titled “like that” contains four tracks of late summer vibes, dreamy vocals and a massive dose of energy getting ready for winter.

after releasing around fifty 45 rpm singles and his first 33 rpm album (ethiopian modern instrumental hits aelp 10, re-released by heavenly sweetness hl092vl), amha esthete set about compiling his best 45s on a series of now legendary albums in 1972.

spain s javi bora has been steadily carving out a name for himself over the past few years holding up a residency at the infamous, now late space ibiza and its kehakuma parties, as well as racking up releases for elrow music, suara, robsoul, 2020 vision and moda black. here though we see him paired with fellow spaniard for a new ep set to be released via london s fledgling spilt milk recordings which has played host to material from the likes of italoboyz, alexi delano and of course its founders tred benedict and st. bernard. title-track bounze takes the lead on the record, laying the foundations with snaking synth sequences, voice atmospherics and robust rhythms before hector moralez and katal step in on the remix. the pair reshape bounze with their own stripped-back distinctive style, opting for floating pads, heavily swung percussion and snippets from the originals spoken parts. ritual rights follows and lays focus on arpeggio 303 tinged bass hits, crunchy drums and subtly unfolding synth leads that ebb and flow throughout the record. the 002 then rounds out the package with dubby stab sequences, soaring pad swells and gritty, energetic rhythms

rfbcolours 004 is aimed at the dark, jazzy smokey affairs. from the off u can see the imspiration fro the ep title with the a1 track from sombro and embezzlement society capturing a low end, horn sampled groover with rough claps and an undeniable groove. georgi barrel delivers again with something that will warm up the coldest clubs or capyure you on sunset terraces. long island sound hit the pianos hard on the slower paced but equally as grabbing and tense -grit-. label owner jamie trench rounds off with night lanterns which is a track thats been waiting for a space on wax for a good few years now and fits beautifully with the rest of the ep.

lessismore (formerly lessismorecordings) was launched 10 years ago, and has been on hold for a few years. at the time the transition from vinyl to digital didn’t feel right and now that the vinyl market is coming up again the love and faith to release a beautiful product (vinyl with cool artwork) is back. this 10 year anniversary is a good reason to revive from hibernation state and to start sharing great music again. the first few releases from the relaunch will represent re-releases of the strongest ep’s from the back catalogue with remixes by respected artists.

remember when techno was all about creating the soundtrack for the future remember when there were no borders between styles or scenes remember when your favourite records were just white label vinyls, stamped with cryptic names this was exactly around the time edge of motion first made their mark on electronic music. even now, decades after they first burst on the scene, seminal tracks like set up 707 and albums like planet gong realities and ad hoc are still frequently played by techno s most revered selectors.

introducing the next release on highlife - our secret weapons by the mysterious tanzania sound system. if you ve caught us playing anywhere this year, you ll have heard at least one of these. now it s time to share the goodness...

now, if there was ever a record title that could make you look twice its gotta be this seminal slab of jacking chicago mayhem from maurice joshua & hot hands hula. released in the golden year of 1988 on the legendary trax label which was already in full flight and on a major roll at the time. it could have been easy to overlook i gotta big dick because of its (mildly) humorous, tongue in cheek title, but don t be fooled, this is one sleek, charged acid weapon, an early blueprint for the incoming ghetto house scene out of the chi perhaps? if you re somewhat prudish or easily offended by the lyrical content the guys were kind enough to include an instrumental version that jacks in all the right places! also included on this ep is the stone cold classic this is acid which was co-produced by lidell townsell that became an acid house anthem all the way from illinois to ilford. a true school chicago jam indeed! finishing out the ep is the almost apocalyptic acid of -feel the mood- that features a rap from kool rock steady, the combination of twisting 303 s, church-like organs and synths and kool s razor sharp rhymes make for a pretty heavy concoction, use this one wisely damage will occur on the dance-floor! remastered in conjunction with trax records, fully legit, now is the time to revisit a cornerstone of classic chicago house music, often imitated, never bettered!

antigone joined token in 2015 with his grand double ep cantor dust. he returned again earlier this year with the saudade ep for token59 an overall heavier offering that still manages to retain some of the delicacy of the first. now hes backwith a 3 tracker for token68 where employs an advancement on his usual sonic vocabulary

u is a producer and dj currently living in london. previous records for man make music have proven suitable for the club as well as home listening, while a collaboration with babe, terror as btu for erol alkan’s phantasy label was varyingly described as “pleasure with a sense of dread” (the line of best fit) and “akin to having five songs playing simultaneously on your computer” (the guardian). 2014 saw u’s debut ‘haven in a heartfelt world’ ep described as -giddy electronic fuzz that packs the subtlest of punches descends into dense glitch noise then returns triumphant gritty and melodic” (crack magazine) and “distorted dreamstates” (ransom note). after the deranged chamber­edits of vienna for where to now?, u returns to the well­trodden path between flattery and irreverence in dance music with a special edition 2-­track 12- for phantasy sound. friendly ghost enters with a splay of combat­bongos, a thin synthetic aura draws over the fluctuating rhythms before a strangely negative bassline sets the pace in nu­wave perpetual motion, inevitably spiraling back on itself into a clattering reversal. on the flip ascension hymn rushes headlong into a mechanical shunter, abruptly dragged back by a frail and singular voice reciting an uncertain mantra of self­fulfilment over this blunted hardcore epic spanning 13 minutes. pressed to heavyweight vinyl, designed and printed by the artist in an edition of 300ish.

das album -100%- war längere zeit nicht zu haben. weder auf cd noch digital. die songs sind neu gemastert. die songs sind dieselben, es gibt keine neuen songs oder sonstiges bonusmaterial, einzig beim sound wird man ein paar unterschiede feststellen. den remastering-prozess hat eike freese gemacht. eike freese hat in den letzten 15 jahren an mehr als 170 veröffentlichungen mitgewirkt, darunter auch an alben und dvds von deep purple, saga, apocalyptica, gamma ray, eisbrecher, oomph!, heaven shall burn, callejon, uvm. für seine arbeiten an deep purples -now what?!- the live tapes- und eisbrechers -die hölle muss warten- wurde eike freese mit jeweils einer goldenen schallplatte ausgezeichnet. außerdem wird er mitverantwortlich für das kommende album sein. aber dazu mehr zu seiner zeit. das gesamte artwork wurde überarbeitet. die band ist immer wieder ergriffen über das, was die fans zurückgeben. Über feedback, enthusiasmus und der liebe zu dieser musik. das zeigt sich an so vielen stellen. am offensichtlichsten und wohl auch am unumstößlichsten an den fan-tattoos, die der band gewidmet sind. und genau diesen tattoos, diesen bildern für die ewigkeit, dieser leidenschaft, möchte die band mit diesem release tribut zollen. so wie auf der haut, sollen die tattoos auch in der discographie dieser band auf ewig das sichtbare zeichen einer innigen verbundenheit sein. viele fans werden ihr tattoo also im artwork dieses albums wiederfinden. bunt auf weiß. für immer. zu 100 prozent - und jetzt als vinyl - in grün!

the third edition of alma soul music s limited vinyl series is now on the streets! this time the head honchos of the label sign the four tracks of this absolutely black record. on the a side javier varez comes back after his well known -i m not real ep- with a couple of melodic and hypnotizing deep house tracks. the talented duo sosandlow (alex sosa + d low) also develop some deep vibes on their first cut -el mito- and they complete the b side with a bomb called -de la caverna-, specially for tech-house lovers. just let your alma dance!

normal bias are two good friends - yac and 77 - who both went through punk rebellion, death metal fumes, the fall of the berlin wall, and even managed to settle down in life. along the way they listened to 80s/90s transformation period rebel vibes through a filter of dub - a sound and a tradition that they have always remained faithful to. each of them is highly regarded on the polish dub/dub techno scene in their own right, and now they combine forces, skills and equipment to create a modern take on a sound that unites studio one and berlin s chain reaction legacies. this vinyl lpweighs 180g.

over the last decade, bantam lions (aka liverpool producer mike carney) has devoted much of his spare time to “playful experimentation,” channeling 30 years of musical inspirations and adventures to create electronic music that sits somewhere between hazy nostalgia and far-sighted futurism. now, he’s gathered together some of his favourite moments to create short stories, a debut album – and scenery’s first long-form release – simply overflowing with page-turning musical narratives.
these are short stories to savour, to get lost in, and to revisit time and time again. they’re bantam lions’ stories, but he’s happily shared them for others to enjoy.

following the warm reception of the dance 2xlp album + live cd recording last year, kontra-musik now presents the dance remixes the dance remixed 2 features an ever-growing remix by efdemin - peak hour material without being boorish, just the way kontra-musik likes it. wa wu we and voices from the lake follow up with two tropical jungle expeditions: wa wu we s version of -fusion- is feverishly humid and hot while voices from the lake takes the nocturnal route, brooding darkness, heavy rain and strange creatures of the night squirming away from the flashlight. finally, northern electronics own ulwhednar (abdulla rashim & varg) takes the listener to completely different latitudes with a hyperborean remix filled with chilling harmonies and gangrene-inflicted beats.
