coming back with a bang in 2012, craggz & parallel return with some eagerly anticipated new material in the form of the product placement ep. released on their own product imprint, it consists of two tracks that while different in style, still retain that certain kind of funk that has permeated through their music ever since those early releases on valve recordings right up to the guys most recent full length effort, the critically acclaimed turn the page lp.

opening track >what i do< introduces the ep on a poignant note with its sombre keys and emotive vocal flourishes without forsaking any of the force at its fingertips, driven by the bubbling subs and electric midrange. >fall< then sweeps in on a lush bed of glistening keys, soft vocal flourishes and a skipping drum line before crashing back down to earth with waves of warping bass tones blasting through the low end of the track. counterpointed by the soaring synth notes that flicker above, mydas balances the light and dark elements brilliantly.

>rispah<, the sophomore album by the invisible and their first for ninja tune, is >a love letter to grief< following the passing of singer dave okumus mother, is imbued with an inevitable melancholy but defined by a sense of hope. throughout, the band reveal their rich creativity and musicianship. echoes run through these songs of african music (including beautifully-woven-in samples of the singers from okumus mothers funeral), psalm tones and devotional music, in a silent way-era miles davis, hints of minimal classical composers such as steve reich and the wilder more psychedelic end of hip hop and related electronic musics.
nothing is ever included for the sake of it, no attempt is made to patronise or sell the audience short. it is a record brimming with real emotion and restless intelligence, a record to get lost in.

nottinghams mimm recordings present another hidden gem from the uks electronic music scene with bristolian ooko making his debut release on the label. with his first major introduction to the scene being through a track called understand on a free compilation from the label last year, he is now ready to unleash the cheekily titled sex sells ep which references a wide spectrum of dance music from house to jungle and beyond.

unusually for a record (for me,at least), constants collects tracks written in four very different moments in time: some are recent - so recent ive only had the opportunity to play them out just a handful of times - while others are over one year old. i really wish the story behind this ep would be a bit more interesting so this text could completely blow your mind but im afraid there were no dragons, no sex, no drugs and definitely no rock n roll involved. all four were mostly produced by me while sipping coffee and wearing boxer shorts in front of a computer. i could somehow try to describe the music on here but it would probably take less for you to give it a listen. however, if you happen to be one of the humans that prefer reading about music. anyway, im really happy to see these finally out, especially on a label i have always looked up to like vakant. i really used to think smoke, kaden and ozer were aliens at some hopefully you will enjoy this music as much as i loved writing and playing it out.

the third release of the vinyl label seoul community is a successful ramble through house and techno. the label run by john lagora and bob morane strikes back in a firmly, drifty, groovy and passionate way. the sophisticated productions of the five artists from germany, belgium and italy offer a wide range of peak time music for the dance floor. this third record includes two originals and two remixes and offers the right track for every moment. whether for the sunrise after hour mood in the morning, the introducing warming groove or high noon dance floor monster - this ep leaves nothing to be desired. the artists, who are residents on labels like mindshake, catwash, momentum and lordag, deliver felicitous and elegant tracks in a well-known quality for this release on seoul community

nice price deal !!! being in the same gene pool as pat sharpes hair is enough of a stigma to steer any young djs career off course - deep in the discos of pop trash. fortunately for metaphi / metske, although still benefitting from the same glossy 90s locks as the radio-jock/distant uncle, musical inspiration came from more complex climates. wigflex006 acts as a fine electronic switchboard to metaphis archive of talents, a complicated circuit board of the experimental ranging from hip hop, idm, and garage to blues harmonicas and classical rifts, seamlessly melted into one gloop of green circuitry where each musical discipline must co-exist with another. as metske the bpms hover around 95, the framework is hip-hop, the sound often skwee but the influences thereafter are endless, slow train blues clicks its way through a steam train intro before marring the lines between electronic music and the blues with a self-composed harmonica rift worthy of howlin wolf. at the same tempo spin states delves into the cosmic with pipey neon chords and bit-crunched bass: sega mega drive boss level business. metaphis taste for big room techno is blatant and genetically wigflex over sharpflex, and in terms of nationality its mongrel, half notts, half eastern europe. with concious mentis hes keeping things minimal but charged from lower frequencies and messmode progresses with some serious dancefloor swagger.

malcolm moores altered moods imprint comes through with the self styled deep as fuq >loves all right ep< featuring contributions from dubbyman, amir alexander and mr done!

the excellent lumberjacks in hell imprint has served up some fine edits in its short lifespan to date, most notably from chicagos mutant beat dancer traxx and the labels latest release turns to two other windy city residents renowned for their collections and skills. rahaan needs little introduction for the disco loving community with essential drops on stillove4music, disco deviance and more, whilst mr sounds runs the excellent bring the heat website. this twelve is all about the a side >rainin bleeding boy< which puts a well loved uk ebm couple through the dub laden beatdown grinder - though djs will get plenty of mileage out of both tracks on the b side with >flip side< some supremely chopped up disco funk and >war i declare< a stomping and heavily filtered bomb.
comes on blue, marbled vinyl.

nice price deal !!! prime numbers welcomes newcomer nick sinna for release number 13 on the imprint. hailing from manchester and long time friend of label boss trusme, nick has been best known for his deep, melodic dj sets. showcasing his hypnotic style, as well as a broad spectrum of influences, this 4 track ep is a heavy hitter from start to finish. jumping into it with a nod to the past, >voyager< will have you traversing down a boundless wormhole with its acidy groove. big room sirens and lumbering snaps drive through the eps b side on >kick the habit<. on record two, nick shows us his softer side with blissed out 9 am anthem >momentary<, while >real time< completes the ep on a dark and entrancing note.

the moritz von oswald trio operates at the bleeding edges where musical lineages collide. feeling for the shared heartbeat that pulses through dub, techno and jazz, it seeks out points of contact before exploding them outward into hypnotic explorations of rhythm, texture and tone. after two previous studio albums and one live album through honest jons, the trio - moritz von oswald, max loderbauer (nsi / sun electric) and sasu ripatti (vladislav delay / luomo) - returns with fetch, their most fully-realized voyage yet into these in-between worlds.

steve bug drops a new outstanding 12inch on his own highly prolific poker flat recordings. those grooves is the perfect primer for his upcoming album (due out in autumn 2012), and sees the man in fine form - masterfully in control of his sound and producing tracks with a depth of dancefloor knowledge most other producers would die for. those grooves, the lead track locks into its exquisitely crafted groove early on, holding a taut balance between its individual elements. mid way through its 10 minutes, bug drops the tempo and lets the groove breath, before bringing it all back home - an audacious late night club weapon. the flip side is no less dramatic – tell me why creeps up, evolving slowing but surely – before an edgy, freaked out bass line drops over the crisp drums. a true peak time burner with enough energy and tension to smash any floor.

we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.

early support by adam x, kyle geiger, jonas kopp, and, arnaud le texier, freddy k. resiliens recordings is not only a simply independent record label but it presents itself as a project much more detailed and complex. it wants to be an idea, an impulse: the paradigm of artistic, visual and sound contemporaneity. the purpose of the group is to reinvent, assimilate and re rework the contemporaneity according to an independent and multifaceted artistic sensibility. according to its intrinsic meaning, resiliens was created with the intention of creating a new way of thinking and making art, able to react to external influences of modernity, transforming it without getting stunned. the genesis of a movement that embraces every artistic aspect, in a profound synergic interaction and collaboration between heterogeneous parts whose point of arrival is a complete artistic experience, in its deepest sense. the final goal of resiliens is therefore change the existing schemes, through clear and obvious messages around the entire artistic path: from production to exposure.

>let yrself be<, the second single to be taken from jimmy edgars critically acclaimed majenta, tells the story of, in resident advisors words, a nomadic sex fiend gone clubbing. two of the albums more brazen house cuts are the focus, evincing an artist as adept at catering for dance-floor and dj as he is for the home-listener.
the title track is a beatific cruise through stabs, chords, claps and slaps to a place where 90s house meets garage vocals, shutters are raised and everyone dances happily ever after. >heartkey<, on the other hand, shows a starchild at his sultriest. chugging along with electro swagger and vocoder charm, his claims to be the only one with the key to your heart are hard to disbelieve. lock up your android daughters.

just in time for summer, pampa issued aimlessness, the long-awaited new album from dntel aka los angeles producer jimmy tamborello. his latest electronic suite brought forth stronger leanings toward house grooves, building upon the pop and idm approaches he explored earlier in his career as half of the postal service and a member of figurine - with a healthy dose of pampa otherworldliness on top. now, robag wruhme steps in and recontextualizes two aimlessness cuts for a remix ep. wruhme is already a beloved member of dj koze’s extended family, having released the full-length thora vukk about one year ago, which was deemed another success for both him and pampa” in resident advisors four-star review. first up is robags kloff mottüré mix of bright night, a starry-eyed transformation of dntels work that twinkles like fireflies in the clear midnight sky.with symphonic splashes, playful pitter-patters and a tranquil breakdown, it sounds a bit like teenage toads skinny-dipping amongst the lilypads. next up, robag finds inspiration in dntels jitters,not once but twice: the marf labo mix takes the title quite literally,offering a jittery breakbeat interpretation with a metallic angel chorus swirling over the haphazard beats. finally, on the flip side,the emmens worsch mix brings things more closely aligned with the grooving, heartfelt house thump that pampa has engendered. its the eps most dj-friendly cut, while at the same time showing off robags gentle production touches and letting tamborellos sweet, subdued voice shine through.

on >work that shit party<, a fingers inc. style rhythm buttresses a two-note riff, a crackling male voice filtering in from the ether. a pinging keyboard zips around before that two-note flicker expands and contracts, warps and wheedles. but around halfway in, a female vocal refrain of >gonna work it out< breaks fat lacerations into pinholes, blaring keyboards seeping in through the gaps and crevices. then, as with >d117<, it is the congealing of all these disparate elements: a work it out from fischerspooners lizzy yoder sashaying with the two-note riff, the keyboards bouncing off the ceiling, and flaring hi-hats fraying the surface played by pat mahoney (lcd soundsystem). each portion is given its due, only to make the ensuing combination that much more enthralling.

a freshly minted london label, clueplants mission is to push twisted, imaginative techno with a raw analogue energy and a futuristic approach to sound design.the first release showcases a balance of two distinctly individual and intoxicating tunes which have seen enthusiastic reception on the dancefloor and radio while doing the rounds as dubplates. the a side hosts a powerful chunk of modern techno energetically played live and is the first release from london producer 12&bit, a perverse hardware purist whose vinyl and live sets have thumped out at teknivals aross europe and seen over 2 million downloads of his played-live techno through the open-source audio globular music library. on the b side the perversity is taken a step further by the infamous bulgarian electro deviant, manasyt. following 11 years of quality vinyl output on prolific labels such as kommando 6, touchin bass and bunker, the balaclava-clad nomad manasyt has set up his studio in the techno capitals of the world, berlin, london and detroit, and is now in china pumping out his trademark brutal and forward-thinking industrial techno for clueplant
