hot on the heels of midlands placement ep, aus returns with a remix 12inch featuring lone & motor city drum ensemble. both producers deliver deep, melodic reinterpretations of the originals, with lone accentuating midlands signature sound (whilst flawlessly incorporating his own neon tinged atmospherics) and mcde dubbing out the original, pushing it into throbbing raw cuts territory. both producers are at the top of their game. lone is dominating 2012 with a residency at manchester hot-spot hoya:hoya, a full length dropping in may via r&s that will surely occupy the top of many year end lists, and remixes for radiohead, tensnake & underworld already under his belt. jazz enthusiast motor city drum ensembles sample-based raw cuts series made him a household name within the deep house scene and last years dj-kicks mix set him apart from the pack with its on point mixing and musical diversity. his notable november 2011 boiler room set is considered one of the finest, and is just another example of why mcde has been, and will remain to be, a musical force to be reckoned with. next up on aus will be an ep from bicep & friends with a remix from panoramabar resident steffi.

for uzuri 018 we return to one of our home grown artists – jitterbug. time has flown since his last release for us in 2010, but we have been quite eager to get some new material out from him for a while – and, based on feedback we have had, plenty of other people are keen to hear more from him too. both his raw winter and beaten trax eps were pretty popular releases for us and his dj appearances always create a stir, so we are pleased to bring you this, the arcane theory ep. the track sequencing on this record is pretty aggressive – front-loaded with the confrontational rise of the machines. a track that really lives up to its title, sounding like the production line at cyberdyne systems… all stomp and evil synths, like a bad mood e-dancer. fallout couldnt be further from that – relaxed and making no attempt at all to get in your face. itll win you over, though. just a nice, deep groove and a lovely, phased beat. could play it for hours… the whole of the flip is devoted to nomads, a chiming, acidic wander. nearly eleven minutes in length. the kicks never at the fore on this one – most of the action occurs at the mid and high frequencies – a resonant 303, lots of hi hats and, later, synths which expand on the eastern-flavour of the track title

gent 88 is a deep and constantly shuffled oldschool techno bumper by producer mirko hecktor from munich with a striking triole bells theme and recurring female vocals. the track was produced as a homage to the early days of the belgian label r&s records, which was the blueprint label for releasing techno and house music on the european mainland. the homeless house remix, produced by berlin based moire patterns & dj kriton, takes the track back to chicago and into a massive club atmosphere with a stomping underground attitude.

marx was totally right: the sustained reign of the exchange value and the spooky and tricky quality of the commodity - the fetishism of commodities - still keep the single individual under age and enslaved. therefore >the association of liberated people and music (vfmm)< is a necessary emancipated condition to strive for. especially the impact of art and music is able to hold on to the contradictions of reality and helps to transcend this wrong existing status qust release drive-by mix mup suspends the principle of causal relation. together we travel down a road that has lost its destination. the road becomes the actual reason for our motion. past connecting elements we cruise

alex israel, chicagos own overlord of deranged deep house comes to creme with a rip-roaring four tracker in said style. lush pads meander over swampy basslines and drum patterns that wash over you like a sweet monsoon. hard to imagine it was conceived in the windy city, but we guess the allure of the unattainable is a potent one.

london based welshman chamboche returns to the label that launched him with the smoke screen ep. his unquantifiable sound swerves genre classification, hovering around house but with enough musicality to please the hardened disco head. swirling pads and a bubbling bass line set down the groove, while keys fall around horns and vocals to make the lead track a refined, uplifting work out. slowly unfolding, the track is hypnotic and absorbing, showcasing the style of a producer as able to work the mind as the hips. bicep toughen up the drums and work the arpeggio, stripping down the track and bringing the chicago influence higher in the mix. while the original subtly unfolds, their remix demands attention from the outset, building to a climax then recoiling for another bite at the cherry. thinking big, krl ramps up the intensity with a bright, kinetic reworking. aimed squarely at the peak time, he harnesses all of smoke screen’s most propulsive elements to really work the floor. tucked away on the b side is the expansive mind your mind. trademark chamboche percussion is woven around a blissful riff, swelling majestically to round off the ep in slo(w) burning euphoria.

nice price deal !!!

following a busy year of stylistically varied releases under various guises on his own magic + dreams label, ralph cumbers delivers his first long-player for punch drunk. with a title lifted from the lysergic prose of a brian aldiss novel and grooves informed by the loopier, more martian aspects of chi-town jack and detroit techno-soul, >reeling skullways< marks a subtle, but highly alluring development in the evolution of cumbers primary recording project. long-term bass clef fans may be surprised by the lack of samples on this album, and in many ways it follows a similar creative process to his recent work as some truths, with most rhythms and textures sculpted from the raw, elemental waveforms of modular analogue synthesis. but with tighter editing, contagious melodies and perfectly positioned drum patterns, the end results reveal bass clef simultaneously at his most stripped-back, focused, playful, complicated, emotional and irresistibly groovy. unfettered by fashionable production tricks, imbued with a timeless machine-soul heart, >reeling skullways< is one of those albums you will be reaching for again and again.

introducing club constructions, a new series of releases that will operate alongside night slugs main eps and white label series. a new home for our most direct productions, cc will run as a channel for raw and tracky material aimed straight for the dancefloor. the first cc volume comes from l-vis 1990. hot on the heals of his >neon dreams< lp, l-vis dives further into the house music whirlpool, drawing on classic dance mania and underground construction vibes (think robert armani building trax for 2012) to deliver 5 tape-saturated, strictly-analog slices of modern-day ghetto hard house. strictly for peak time use!

leskin, massimo di lena, joseph russel and rio padice (aka the early sound collective) deliver four outstanding deep & raw house/techno cuts. of course, shitloads of records come out these days that fit the deep & raw house description, but this stuff just goes beyond. without falling back into cliche, their characteristic use of analog equipment takes you right back into the early days of hypnotic, raw & soulful machine music competing with the detroit/chicago cats from back in the day.

dont be afraid present spargel trax, a two part series of vinyl-only, coloured, hand-stamped 12 inches designed to celebrate the dual themes of great seasonal music and great seasonal spargel. contributing tracks across the two 12 inchess are some of our favourite artists currently making house music. from established artists like disco nihilist, andy blake, sound species and james duncan to up and coming artists like david joseph from cologne, hodge from bristol, untitled-w from st. petersburg, for whom this is the first outing on wax, and scott fraser from glasgow. no clues though as to which is which, you?ll have to just listen to the tracks and hear for yourself! proof that 2012 is a great time for music, a great time for wax and a great time for spargel. spargel is very popular in the netherlands, spain, france, belgium, germany, and switzerland, and almost exclusively white. else, it is specified by the local language term for green asparagus. compared to the latter, the locally cultivated so-called white gold or edible ivory, also referred to as the royal vegetable, is less bitter and much more tender. freshness is highly regarded, and it must be peeled before cooking or raw consumption.

loftsoul is the moniker of renowned dj uchikawa masahiko. he has been a dj for more than 25 years, and is deeply involved with the japanese nightclub scene since its early days. his borderless and genre-straddling playing style, from soul, jazz, dance classics, deep house, to techno tells of the impassioned music life of dj uchikawa masahiko. in addition to running regular parties at his club loft in nagano, (which has hosted djs such as joe claussell, jerome sydenham and glenn underground) and premier at loop, uchikawa has been recording tracks as loftsoul, and collaborating with pianist makoto kuriya as rhythm of elements. >soul inspiration< sees loftsouls continued collaboration with chicago house stalwart glenn underground alongside ricardo miranda aka the latin soul brothas. >soul inspiration< is a deliciously deep groove with trademark virtuoso piano for some esoteric soulful dance floor action. the b-side sees the latin soul brothas slow it down for them electronic soul of the moog mix. finally, dj uchikawa and hide koyama provide an essential dub.
