the 4th moment records installment brings us an intriguing collaboration between the labels owner, barac, and the french electronic composer lyonel bauchet.
stretching on over 12 minutes, buchla market unveils the symbiotic beauty born when these 2 creative energies collided in the studio: barac’s signature tension building percussion as the perfect high contrast background for lyonel’s buchla electronic symphonia pieces. flipping the record we find pavane, the uptempo version of this collaboration: wind like hisses lost in the crisp techno patterns, broken only by outworldly analog reverbs. moment 004 is a bridge between don buchlas electronic visions, started over 50 years ago and what electronic music has transformed into in our times.

one of the most charismatic pioneers of uk dance music, skream, is back on the visionary label that is crosstown rebels. the momentous ‘you know, right?’ has been avidly searched for since it’s inception and will finally be released in november 2016. this two track ep contains two innovative productions from the musical chameleon, pushing the boundaries of genre once again with breakbeat percussion, potent keys and a garage style vocal on the monstrous ‘you know, right’. the ep also features the techno soundscape ‘minor smooth’ on the b-side, which also is going down a storm . we last saw skream on crosstown rebels last year with the epic ‘still lemonade’, which gained high critical acclaim. keeping the standards high the truly individual ‘you know, right?’ has already been heavily supported this summer by jackmaster, jamie jones, annie mac, steve lawler and damian lazarus amongst others. starting out as one of dubstep’s first most prominent and prolific producers, skream went on to achieve commercial success and critical acclaim with magnetic man alongside artwork and benga reaching no.5 in the uk album chart and reaching no.10 in the uk singles chart. more recently he has been releasing on his label of unsound mind and as a sought after remixer on labels such as boysnoize records, hot creations and watergate records.

voyeur aka benson herbert and leo picking, are the young pair that broke through back in february 2012 with a remix of bombay bicycle club. soon after kerri chandler invited them to release on his madhouse and madtech imprints. before long the uk duo were sharing booths with the likes of frankie knuckles, masters at work, dennis ferrer and cassy. i album sampler is a limited ep of the more dancefloor friendly tracks which kicks off with the captivating production lost in paris . the a2 sees long beach island feat. kerri chandler with rippling drums and numerous mesmerising nuances merged together. on the flip patron saint generates a low-slung groove from start to finish, that features label head honcho kerri chandler. last but not least sees the tribal percussion and soaring synths of nina

zefzeed was chosen to be the first artist to release at arria, certifying his multi-dimensional artistic vision. porto deporta takes over side a with a deep bass motif propelling forward – everything clicks into place, making this piece a high definition 3d madness. soy sausage continues the journey with a stylish swagger and an irresistible groove, dotted with a chamber of indecipherable voice delays, while bright synths float across the driving beat. side b is spinning koo, a track that combines functionality with musical playfulness, tumbling percussion and clouds of textures, while drawing on the kinetic energy. though his tunes are aimed squarely at clubs, they’re detailed, spacious and hypnotic too, a rare blend that make arria-001 a slick dancefloor machine.

mono junk’s cult label dum records is back with a new five track various artists ep that again packs a vital punch. he appears himself along with some fellow legends of the scene. first up, morpholgy is a consistent performer who has continued to serve up quality electro since 2009 and here serves up a hot new piece. ‘vector plant’ is busy and industrial, slick and metallic as it unfolds and burrows deep into your veins. then comes the a2, irwin berg featuring freestyle man (aka finnish moodmusic boss sasse aka klas lindblad) with a track made in 1995 and never released before. this pair worked together and made a cult electro record for sähkö recordigs in 1998 and this one is just as impactful. it is frosty and frazzled, slow motion but high impact and full of distorted lines and heavy drums. next is mr velcro fastener who were the first kings of electro to come out of finland and between 1999 and 2006 were famous all over the world. their brand new cut ‘almost there’ is a deep one that is riddled with bleeping melodies and has smeared chords bringing a sci-fi feel. then it is mono junk’s turn to dive into the vaults with an unreleased track from 2005. ‘feeling or destroy’ is a physical number with crashing hits and snaking, gurgling bass that is dark and dystopian. last of all comes irwin berg with mono junk as new york city survivors. says the dum boss, “our unreleased track here was made after the new york city survivors – static light cd 2002” and it is a turbo charged track with screwed up grinding bass, icy hi hat rhythms and menace in its grooves.

vinyl only , the inaugural release comes from sandro kuhne, resident and owner of sbz and sbr, he provides two cuts for the genetic impression ep, two tech house grooves, subtle in their arrangement but powerful in the low end, effective dance floor movers. providing the remix is romanian duo livio & roby, who need little introduction and deliver a solid mix, true to their name. sunday breakfast records: sunday breakfast zurich has firmly established its name as a recognised clubbing event in the european house and techno scene, over the past years it has steadily built up its brand around a strong sound with quality line ups and a resident roster of exceptional home grown talent, that continues to raise the bar with each of its unique events. sunday breakfast records is an extension of this by where its resident artists are put forward to showcase the sbz sound that has become synonymous with their parties. each release will carry the signature sound from a member of the roster as well as from some of the regular guest djs who have played with the party label over the years.

with many new roads traveled over the last few years, the gaslamp killer is back with the full-length lp instrumentalepathy. glk will initiate his new imprint cuss records with instrumentalepathy. french surrealism artist albane simon designed the cover, supplying an array of psychedelic imagery that contains a brilliant sense of connection to glk’s music & the chaos he’s survived. instrumentalepathy features an impressive cast of artists tied closely to glk over his music career with brainfeeder, low end theory and beyond. guests include gonjasufi, miguel atwood ferguson, niki randa, kid moxie, mophono, amir yaghmai and the heliocentrics. it’s been over a decade since glk and gonjasufi have collaborated on new music, bringing the two natives of san diego back together for something truly special.

after a succession of new signings including recloose, tom trago and paul woolford - aus music return to their original roster and roll out another solid 3-track ep from label mainstay huxley who - in a monumental pairing - enlists the help of chicago legend roy davis jr. with a grand total of 8 aus records under his belt including his lauded lp blurred - huxley continues to return with a sound that typifies the label - intricate dance that music that packs power and emotion in equal measures. the rag & bone ep kicks off with do you feel me - a track that seed roy davis jr. and huxley meld moody synths with a tough, rattling low-end. a striking vocal runs over subtle flecks of acid and bending melodies that make for a pensive trip before weapon 3 dials carl craig-esque tension with rough, tribal drums and razor sharp sweeps. the dub of weapon 3 then mellows the tone of the original and rounds off a varied pack of dance floor bombs.

having previously turned out some refined club tracks for friendly neighbourhood label banoffee pies, christian jay comes to idle hands for his debut solo 12inch. as revealed in our past support of artists such as i.a. bericochea and matt karmil, an appreciation of the finer end of the minimal house and techno spectrum weighs heavy at idle hands hq, and christian embodies everything good about the micro-genre. the stylistic approach on this single is consistent across both tracks, fusing shuffling, 2-step fuelled drum patterns with blissful atmospheric content in a most natural of ways. on 117 this manifests in a more flamboyant end result peppered with playful hi-hat tones and delicate melodic licks, while on contrail the mood is resolutely low-end focused with some choice bass touches in amongst the tightly wound funk of the beat. what makes jay s efforts stand out is their immersive finish, using dexterous doses of dub processing to create a quintessentially bristolian mood while retaining the razor-sharp edges of upfront european minimal. its a tone that speaks to limbering up at the start of the party, or shaking down deep into the morning. that said, we could listen to this all day and night.

its the music of the space that extends between oceans and mountain slopes. its the music of the space that is much bigger and much more adventurous than the four walls of a club look like. its the latest record on acker, and it orbits around a song from il civetto. the band from berlin is a wonderfully multicultural bunch. their sound is reminiscent of gypsy, folk or swing, but at the same time it doesnt really fit any of these labels. liberté ana is a perfect example. monolink turns this track into a groovy downbeat tune that vibrates much higher than its low bpm count - the perfect soundtrack for laid-back afternoons or afterhours. pophop does what he does best: party. however, between the catchy bassline and the tight percussions of his remix theres still a lot of space for the soul of liberté ana. umami goes even further and creates an ecstatic banger that has everything it takes to be played during the prime time on the dance floor.

coyu and ramiro lopez are regular production partners, having released a number of tracks on coyus own suara in the past, as well as john digweed s esteemed bedrock records. this latest track on drumcode further adds to their reputation as a force to be reckoned with. clap your hands allows the pair to display their talent for harder- edged techno. pounding drums, metallic rattling, a tension-filled breakdown and the eponymous distorted vocal sample help to ensure the track fits in perfectly with drumcode s high-quality repertoire. made with the dancefloor in mind, coyu debuted clap your hands during his set at valencias marenostrum festival, where it received a spectacular reception.

lanthan.audio, the german label founded by christian gerlach, now presents its sixth release from abstract division . the netherland-based dou delivers a 4 track ep with two originals and two remixes by milton bradley (do not resist the beat) and albert van abbe (vanabbe). abstract divisions corrosive mind stands with a significant synthline that screws into your mind. surrounded from its open and pumping drums its really developing into a mesmerising piece for the dance floor with a high recognition value. milton bradley strips it down and presents a very strong tool with a great tension in itself. intervention grabs up its name and reflects the word into sound. it comes along with a exciting touch and builds up slowly but strong. with potent drums, like we knew it from abstract division, it is definetly a track for various situations but not without loosing its goal. albert van abbe abstracts the core and reshapes it with classic drum sounds and adds an emotional melody, its centerpiece. tight and thoughtful next strike from lanthan.audio again, which is expanding advisedly.

the inaugural release from raffaele attanasio’s letters from jerusalem represents a dark descent through various musical forms. the name of the label itself pays homage to jerusalem as a city and its metaphorical location at the center of the earth. the ep, then, is an extension of this imagery in its use of music as a descriptive source of the emotions that lie within man’s innermost recesses. credible threat, though ambitious in its breadth, is cohesive in its style and sound design: brooding, industrial, and percussive, this release is a shadowy and refreshing installment from a rising star in the underground scene.

frames is back this time with an outstanding various artists compilation, 4 hypnotic grooves for artistically sensitive music connoisseurs. something you can listen to and fall in love with anywhere anytime… timeless. vinyl only.

increasingly known for his productions as much as his storied dj sets, eric cloutier approaches the studio with the same kind of precision that marks out his club and festival appearances. on this first release on palinoia he exercises a keen sense of control over playful elements, not least on lead track -heuristic-. the nagging lead synth may hop around the mix, but it stays locked on to a thoroughly focused undercarriage of drums and low end that suits the professional techno set. -ipseity- is lighter in its demeanour thanks to some calming pad tones, but the strong structure of the track remains. the release rounds up with the slower thump of -opprobrium-, surmising cloutier s attitude to the warm-up part of a serious, long-lasting dj set.

a year after the launch of vanila , the fourth release of the label comes once again from sawf, four tracks full of energy, each one representing a different aspect of the athenian producer.

the eleventh release on romb is a wild yet beautiful mini compilation, combining detroit and chicago vibes with uk breakbeats and a dash of melancholic electronica: a generous ep with dj friendly tracks that will also work perfectly at home. the a-side starts off with a detroit flavored acid house groover by new artist almost automatic, followed by solarity, a stormy, break-ridden dance stepper with an epic feel. on the flipside sean dixon, well-known from releases on clone and rawax as well as his own final chapter imprint, delivers a clean-cut italo infused chicago house gem. the ep ends with a beautiful, melodic down-tempo synth journey by daniel savio. all in all a diverse and playful ep with old-school vibes, yet with fresh twists and turns. limited to 200 copies only, this is a gem not to be missed.

seven years, who cares? no one really but it seemed like a good excuse to do something a bit different. we spoke to some the artists that have helped shape wolf over the years and asked whether they would like to contribute to a double 7 inch release. excited by the unusual project session victim, frits wentink, greymatter & mr. fries have delivered four original tracks with the format in mind. hip hop, beat down, low slung & upfront house all contained across two records. this release will be vinyl only.

set apart from the underground electronic trail we are used with, atipic proposes vincentiulian for its second release.
002.1 harvests energy from the crisp and simple kick pattern to break the steady rhythm into scarce drum rolls and haunting tones. side b chooses the same phonic road. 002.2 shares vincentiulians minimalistic approach: visceral on the low frequency spectrum, a perfect foundation for the somehow familiar theme. 002.3 deconstructs even more, using as little resources as it can get: shadow like reverbs, glued together in a sketch that invites your mind in a twisted hide n seek game.
solid 3 tracker, a proof for vincentiulians skills on masterfully juggling with simple loops.

after their initial 7- back in 2015 the boys have been riding high, riding low and put together 2 more tracks of west coast psychedelic blue eyed soul... galloping percussion ride through tear it down while the harmonies build around the lead vocal that is backed by a wonder rhodes accompaniment that takes on a life of its own and the track builds to crescendo before opening up and allowing the vocal to come back for a final outing... ‘sugar rush is a more downtempo number, tripped out vocals of acid adventures and wonderful big strings to create a trip through mustard yellow fields, purple skies and forests of candy green trees... the flip side see s the cosmic capers of dan wainwright twist sugar rush into a 9 minute epic trip designed for the dance floor

its always a big moment when we welcome a new project into the watergate catalog and this time is no exception. for our next release we would like to introduce two newcomers to the label. both cle and eva be have been at the cutting edge of house music culture for well over a decade and their work as solo artists spans an esteemed list of some of the most highly regarded imprints from sonar kollektiv to poker flat, but it was only recently the two formed loyoto. after a stunning debut on marco resmanns upon you label,we were thrilled to release their follow up on watergate entitled lonely young tourist. over the course of three tracks the duo traverse an array of timeless aesthetics infected with a dub narrative they have fittingly christened starsprangled dubmosphere. from the twisted, low slung vibe on sheijk to the surging intoxication of 3 balls and the timeless fusing of classic dub and modern perspective on feel the bumpin, loyoto have constructed an exquisite ride into their sonic universe and we think you will agree. welcome to the crew loyoto!

elocution, the third figure ep from portuguese producer lewis fautzi, again displays a high defree of versatility but still comes cleary cut for the club. employing a rich yet spacious sound design, fautzi creates cinematic scapes that are at once both brimming with the hums of colossal interstellar machinery yet at the same time leave enough room for a range of carefully sculpted elements to do their work. whether it be the twisted acid arpeggio on opener shizophrenia, the imposing drones underscoring the mighty mirror or the propulsive percussion of centerpiece 37b. testament to fautzis talent of engaging arrangement, never do the tracks here feel hurried nor do they become stagnant - but rather given just the right time to ripe into their full captivating potential. no matter if one is to approach this records as already an avid lover of lewis fautzis work or comes to it simply looking for fresh takes on the classic formula, this enthralling ep certainly will satisfy everyones needs.

following their album save! aka colder & mutado pintado are back on dlm, with another deadly attack! kamikaze style. we ve been waiting a longtime for an i:cube remix. we ve been fans and friends since his debut and we love that he strayed from his more technoey recent work, as great as it is. this is full on psychedelia, almost rock in its approach. a trip, not a track. russia s great hope (not ivan drago), lipelis, hot on the wheels of his macdonald flack and the ack-ack pack pack remix delivers two radicals/tangents. police & robbers. they fly high, both in their own manner. rainy monday is dubbed out in space with that jungle screw feel. slowed down breaks that are all the rage with the yoof, apparently but lipelis takes it to another level. last floor his version of darkness in the middle is a trickster, you d think almost ambient kraut before you end up on an italo-piano-expansives beach.

slow futur was the name of the live soundtrack of zombie zombie for a juggling company. an add project that we decided to release some months ago, consisting in 4 tracks of 15 minutes. we were suprisingly sold out very quick. so we decided to give that record a longer life having some new mixes of one the track : hyperspace. tolouse low trax is all around the place at the moment. the amazing resident dj at salon des amareurs in dusseldorf provides a kind of sleazy remix here,that never really starts but subtlelly evolves while i:cube brings it in the dub territories, in a lush mood. enfin, gilb r provides a little reprise,putting the percussions in the front for a tropical effect.

*isigude (pronounced - e-see-goo-de... meaning bird of paradise) is a newly founded record label based in athens, greece. for our debut release we have dug deep into the archives of greek jazz fusion to unearth and reissue some obscurities from the catalogue of esteemed composer michalis rakintzis. rakintzis should need no introduction to greek ears, widely recognised as a celebrated composer and lyricist since the 1980s with his career taking in more than 20 personal albums, numerous singles and several high profile collaborations. his composition “arrest”, lifted from 1988 s ost to the film -lifelong- was selected and included on the hugely popular greek music compilation -into the light- in 2012. for isigude s first 12- vinyl release we draw our focus to the 1987 track “i don’t believe” featuring vocalist eleni dimou. -i don t believe- combines pop, rock and eastern melodies and feelings and sold more than 100.000 on it s original release. featured here in remixed form by up and coming greek producer zaq (a.k.a img_02) the original composition is reimagined and the result is a low tempo dreamy, balearic disco burner with dimou s lyrics expressing her disbelief in love, beautiful moments, oaths and sacrifices, with her requesting to be set free. a truly beautiful and tasteful reimagining of a lost rarity, the perfect way to launch the label.

third full length album from michael mayer. features high profile collaborators incl. goddard from hot chip. for fans of: michael mayer, roman flügel, hot chip, wolfgang voigt, audion, john tejada, kölsch, dj koze ...

going back to classics could fall so easily, luckily for skudge presents, the persistent and class-act of mark broom leaves the mediocre in its rubble. eric cloutier: broom is a legend. i can t even count how many of his records i own. both of these are pure fire loving it! the kicking a-side, moments1, with the high paced energy and flirtations with the dutch classic style of techno-house crossover brings a smile upon djs and dancers alike - without going too much into nostalgia, this track is sure to find its way through the peak times. moments2 on the flip submerges deeper into this records vibe, with a progression that throbs more than kicks, with a saw tooth lead that keeps the moody atmosphere intact. a sure-shot 2 tracker is what we need and what we get

hailing from bucharest, romania the vinyl speed adjust duo have been rapidly on the rise as producers and djs over the past few years with a back catalogue boasting material on pressure traxx, gilesku records, colours in music and visionquest where they return to here, as well accolades from leading industry names such as ricardo villalobos, raresh and rhadoo. here we see the pair back on fine form for visionquest following their carpe diem ep on the label in 2015 and taking the lead is title track retro which sees things taken down a percussive led path via modulating pot drums, murky bass flutters and screeching atmospherics. det riot follows and ups the energy levels with robust rhythms and stuttering vocal chops running with subtly unfolding arps, and further howling expansive swells hidden in the depths of the record before stretch souls rounds things off, closing with tumbling organic percussion, soft pad sweeps and a rumbling low end drive.

san francisco-based butane makes his debut on jamie jones hottrax with three hypnotizing productions this october. founder of alphahouse and little helpers, andrew rasse aka butane has been building a solid reputation as a respectable dj, producer and label owner for over a decade now. when not releasing his low-slung dancefloor focused cuts on his own imprints the multifaceted american has made appearances on sci+tec, crosstown rebels and moan. he now appears on hottrax joining a roster spanning waff, patrick topping, mat.joe, bunte bummler, raumakustik, dms12 and jamie himself. a gentle thud initiates addicted, making way for a throbbing synth that warps and distorts throughout the mix whilst a fuzzy bassline operates beneath it. lock and key focuses on intricate percussion whilst dusky atmospherics and a medley of nuances are introduced throughout before shark attack concludes the package with a rumbling low-end and compelling groove.

the first ep from abdulla rashim on his northern electronics in almost three years is leaning towards a new territory for him. taking his explorative rhythms into a more old school tradition bears a fruitful combination, as of water and the spirit transforms and a high pitched drilling groove takes the tracks in control. signalists flavour!

one more time we choose two little known gems for re-release on 45 rpm single. another single by the same group is pretty in demand by funk 45 collectors. these two sides are not that much known but they certainly deserve the same attention. while funky you is pretty good, uptempo funk, the b-side is the real beauty of this record. love come down is a fine example of chicago soul which has not been re-released yet. hopefully many people appreciate the work behind this release, from both the original musicians as well as those who are responsible for this high quality re-issue.

newborn munich based label slam city jams comes around the corner with its first release from young gun gonima straight outta montreal, canada. his grids ep? an exciting mixture of swinging distorted drums, catchy melodies and hazy atmospheres. you can definitely spot gonima s passion for dx7 adventures, analog drums and tape hiss right here. opener -grids- starts off with lush synth blips, 707 drums and a bassline bootsy collins would give high-fives for. -subdivided- is one of these tracks that shows you that it doesn’t need more than a few elements to get you going: a rough kick drum, cowbells and a smooth pad that gets slapped by just one bass note. the last original on b2 is the ambient-like -organ tutorials-, which shifts your mind directly to outer space. and as if all this wasn t enough, someone really special did a great remix job – khotin from 1080p fame, who gave the a2 cut a treat with his unique trademark sound. four house and ambient tracks both for the floor and the couch. or as gonima puts it: -an ep that has the sound of visiting home in the winter and rediscovering environments frequented in the past, birthing previously obscured memories. the sounds within are a ritual dance to stay warm through the procession of the seasons-

‘seven years adrift’ marks the premiere of true rotary recordings as well as the comeback of joel alter’s jor-el alias. while joel alter is renowned for creating melancholic yet peculiar uplifting house and techno, the jor-el alias signals a rawer side of his production. ‘seven years adrift’ tells the story of a journey in two parts. the first part, seven years, is filled with the confidence and energy of a novel traveller just setting of on an adventure on the high seas. a bold track with gusts of hard claps ripping the sails. in the second part, adrift, the once wide-eyed traveller has just turned his now weather-beaten face to the ocean breeze, patiently waiting for the wind to shift. a more laid back and moody track, but still confident and vivacious. the energy of seven years and the soulfulness of adrift embody the jor-el signature and set the tone for releases to come. true rotary recordings is run by joel alter and ena cosovic. stemming from a longstanding mutual appreciation for the combination of raw techno with more seductive sounds, the label is a natural development of joel’s and ena’s musical and personal partnership. true rotary recorings represent their mutual musical vision and vibe that they love. keeping it raw and genuine.

hailing from lithuanian capital vilnius, miskotom appears on pleasure unit for a debut appearance that should appeal to all lovers of delicate, pop flecked house with a smooth 80s veneer. the production is perfect for the mood of the music, with the dusty groove of the title track embellished with eastern flute motifs and larry heard chords of the sweetest melancholy. - downtown - meanwhile revels in slap bass finery, and -tempelhof kite- gets a rubbery moog tone in the low end that offsets the woozy pads beautifully. kito jempere comes on board for a remix that dubs -tempelhof kite- down into a warm and sexy house cut of the highest order.

the bobby donny label hits number four with a first ep of 2016. after efforts from label owner frits wentink and eindhoven producer san2, this one comes from tlim shug. the low-profile american producer has only one ep to his name so far, but it was an impressive one that came on echovolt records last year and suggested he has a passion for moody and lo-fi deep house.

high summer. sun is shining and the bordello is open to newcomers, the latest being slovenia’s ichisan. a 12” that bulldozes barriers, metamundus seamlessly slips between electro disco, braindance acid and gilded funk. writhing 303 jerks are tempered by warm-hearted key changes for the title track, patterns ducking into playful frolics and lush deeps. and this desire to toy with convention is what characterises the ep. bitter chords are sugared, machine grooves with nods to the dancefloors of the 70s, spaceflights with undertones of chicago, ichisan brings all together in a 12” that is as unique as it is addictive.
