berghain resident norman nodge offers up his first full ep for ostgut ton with three contemplative tracks. expanding and contracting with countless subtleties and enriched with bold artistic license. >the happenstance< is an enthused explorations into the many musical zones existing outside of techno. a warm and fresh embodiment of 80s wave electronica - like a classic carpenter score - only a few elements are needed for his narrative to shine. the impression of distant melodies exist in purposefully excluded moments of rest, where nodge uses restrain rather than release to interact with our very perception of the music. a fuller club cut, >body to body< floats into spacious, acidic zones. with the impression of sinking into a disorientating, resonating industrial space, this snaking and hypnotic exercise takes us in a very different yet equally rewarding direction to its sweeter a-side cousin. an ornate exercise in reduction and challenging timing, >breakdown< is a slow and measured display of nodges unique synthesised visions. this short exploration piece is a brave and gritty suggestion of whats to come next from this talented producer

produced in 2004, this ep marks an essential shift in the production of stefan goldmann to his modus operandi as a dedicated innovator. he had adapted the barricade guise to induce some serious deviations into the techno realm. yet, heads werent ready and he simply continued under his real name with his major breakthrough works: perlons blood ep and the legendary sleepy hollow tune. hidden from the public, aleko and frantic had built a prototypic aesthetic of rough, concrete-space sounds - reduced dark, metallic percussion grooves, spring reverbs and degraded post-acidic synths. you name it where you heard this sound years later. its revealing how far ahead these tunes were at the time of their creation. they sound more now than many current tracks. aleko is the 4/4 techno version of this soundset, locked-in clonk patterns built around a nitrous bassline. frantic could be a future development to todays dubstep, if it wasnt its actual historic predecessor. add the schizophrenic bass excursion heliotrope and you have a package of painstaking relevance. back then the a&rs simply didnt get it - thats why it took 6 years and the formation of victoriaville to finally bring these gems to light

its a lonely business, bringing the piano into the 21st century.
barcelona-based francesco tristano is establishing himself as one of the most original and eclectic musicians of his generation. trained as a classical pianist and having recorded a number of classical albums, francesco broke new ground with >not for piano<, the album that launched the french label infine in 2007, containing his compositions as well as acclaimed piano versions of detroit techno classics of >strings of life< and >the bells<. francesco teamed up with detroits own carl craig for a remix of >the melody<, and, subsequently, project versus (featuring symphony orchestra and moritz von oswald) as well as the legendary innerzone orchestra (as pianist, keyboardist and arranger).>idiosynkrasia<, francescos latest album on if, was recorded and mixed at planet-e communications detroit.

sampler 12 inch of tom tragos upcoming album >iris<! leading up to tom tragos debut album >iris<, to be released april 2011, comes this three track sampler. the tracks featured here show the diverse nature of the album, which can be best described as a futuristic soul album. after releasing his double ep >voyage direct<, early 2009, tom has spent the last two years finding his signature sound. the outcome of this search has resulted in >iris<. where >voyage direct< was his homage to disco, >iris< deals with all of toms musical inspirations. shaping these inspirations into a new sound and creating an exciting mix is where tom really succeeds. the three tracks on the sampler all deal with merging the old with the new. >being with you< is a match made in heaven between electronic music and r&b, >space balloon< lets disco and funk make love in a spaceship. what you do is a future version of late 80s chicago hip house, which features tyree cooper (who, together with fast eddie, invented the genre).

this february sees the launch of a brand new label, boogie originals.
the labels first release gives a taster of what to expect, four tracks of original music with feet in the past but head in the present.

ltd edition 10 inch !! detroits juan atkins aka model 500 gets fresh remixes from bullions & sdc (space dimension controller)

new x press 2 single taken from their forthcoming album.

incl. 3 brennan green remixes !!! supported by horse meat disco, cosmo vitelli, tim sweeney, space ranger, inflagranti, massimiliano pagliara, marcello giordani, bottin, discodromo, michael reinboth, luke solomon… danny was a drag king is back with an hot tune. chocolate black leather is ajello new single. driven by the one and the only hard tons vocals the track is an orgy of vintage synths, bouncy bass, a sure winner for the italo disco fans. brennan green needs no introduction, when he dust off his 303 and everything goes acid disco paradise... you really cant get any better.

supported by: radio slave, nicholas (no more hits), douglas lee (tbd), daniel wang, jim stanton (horse meat disco), jacques renault, space ranger, dj rocca (ajello), baby g (dance disorder), stefano e bene (compost records) and club silencio… cocktail d amore records is the latest venture from italian duo discodromo and berghain resident dj boris, an extension of the crews monthly berlin party of the same name. the label will be a new home for their productions, collaborations and remixes, as well as those from their global network of producers. as such, the first release, cocktail d amore, is something of a mission statement, showcasing a variety of names with their interpretation of electronic disco music in 2011

>world music< is the second 12 inch from washington, dc based protect-u. as the title suggests, protect-u grooves to global soundz, but this newest release–once again brought to you by future times–is total mutant house/techno. on the a-side, synth lines bubble like 80s-style francis bebey, then burn up into a space-pulse overdrive. the flip, >u-uno<, is an underwater electro-sitar dream straight outta 24th century india, followed by a slo-mo dub of >world music< that slips back and forth between digital jamaica and european nu-romance.

well rounded kick off 2011 with the deep space bump-n-hustle of littlefoots aptly named >interplanetary< ep.
all 4 tracks contrast tuff dry drums & low sweeping subs with cosmic atmospheres and twilight melodies and chords. theres a unique strictness in the drums here, less swung than typical garage but with innovative programming that shows a producer keen to explore new possibilities. as ever with well rounded and our producer friends, we are celebrating influences from the past - think classic 4/4 uk garage in the vein of dem 2, mixed with early 90s rave sounds and welded together in a motor city car plant. with added post-dubstep production sensibilities, littlefoot is creating an unheralded hybrid sound. all 4 tracks contribute to the completeness of the ep - we go in hard, explore different areas and complete our journey with the last track. we hope you enjoy this trip.

2010 has been a massive year for jozif, emerging as one of the most talked about artists in house music. the follow-on from the first sell-out edition, “beats in space”, “brick jane” goes further to cement his place as one of the vanguard of the london music scene, and propel fist or finger to the status of a buy-on-sight label. jozif’s title track – the dancefloor focused ‘fist’ of the package – goes in deep, the momentum continuously building as the track twists and turns through a landscape of deep slabs of bass assured deployment of subtle guitar plucks and piano chords, and dreamy xylophones. finally releasing into an epic crescendo, jozif only allows the moment to last just long enough, before all the elements are stripped right back as the journey starts all over again. brick jane draws out a journey, continuing to morph and subtly affix new elements throughout its 7 minutes. the arrangement is simple yet the progression is deft, subtle and effective, creating a vibe that can be employed at any given time of the night, offering a truly different context. craig’s ‘finger’ re-interpretation picks up the thread where his “beats in space” remix left off. crackling static laced with woozy atmospheres and paranoid utterings flip the vibe of the original completely on its head. richards displays a completely unique ability to stretch the original track far beyond its character into a completely different dimension, building a warped soundscape that feels as though it was recorded in a chasm deep deep underground. a mind-bending journey from a truly multi talented artist, in the truest sense of the word

played by chris liebing, cari lekebusch, dave clarke, adam beyer, the advent, luke slater, virgil enzinger, space djz, kyle geiger, gary beck, eric sneo, thorsten kanzler, sven wittekind, felix kroecher, damon wild and various others...

danish producer martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his versatile views on techno and house. his very special enthusiasm enables him to seize new musical territory with every release. with his debut record on cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever evolving tension between life and music. the mzuzu ep is all about bass. the bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades concrete and iron. while the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture, they are kind to us humans. the basslines put the dancers in a conforting state of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when one still rested in ones mothers womb. it arouses the memory of a state when one is completely merged with the surroundings. martinez reorganises the structure of house music: the lashing grooves cease to be the center of the tracks. martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass. its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited feeling. freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and open. instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their liberating energy. the tracks rarely need anything else. the icing on the cake consists in tiny vocal samples. creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us in a state of constant curiosity. disolving completely into the flow of the tracks, the human voices become pure sound. >mzuzu chant< & >adagio< are for the beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space

10th cosmic club with four up to date disco / cosmic titles

kicking off for the first release label owners maarten and jasper deliver a package of three different tracks. edition of 250 copies, hand stamped not to be repressed.

ldr returns with the labels first various artists release, four house expressions - from four cutting edge producers. dublin based italian producer, lerosa opens the ep with longing…a warm, proficiently produced electronic house cut as always from the adopted dubliner. smooth percussion and synth sounds layered and arranged to perfection while still keeping that free-flowing lerosa style. rotterdams mark du mosch delivers an uplifting house / techno influenced workout blessings. re­fined percussion and wonderful space-synth soundscapes alongside a driving bassline that will get the dancefloor moving for sure! glaswegian meschi debuts with concrete island , the london based producer delivers a blissful deep house track. a laidback rhythmical production that just gets better and better throughout, with clever arrangements of elements including a classic voice sample and a soothing and delicate piano line. wicklows automatic tasty concludes the ep with another killer analogue jam, 707 percussion, a rail­way raver-esque bassline, and ats trademark pads and synth melodies combine to make >welcome ohm luv< another classic from the machines of mr.tasty

italojohnson starts the new year punctual with his third stroke. this record will have something suitable on it for everyone out there. without batting an eyelid, its crosseyed and selfconfident, looking at three different floors at the same time: the a-side focuses on the chicago house floor. it begins with a recognizable toolish sound. slowely but surely the theme of the track opens – the track works through a breakdown, a classic drum roll sneaks in and jack grabs again. the b1 provides an unusual turn on the third italojohnson production. theres no space for compromises here. the track stomps on the steam engine warehouse floor. a flowing acid hookline is settled in the industrial drumline and gives the track its meaning. the second track on the flipside completes the whole package and is destined for the late night hours. thats everything there is to say about this track – the strength and emotion can only be experienced by listening first hand. love, peace and happiness

we are happy to announce the first release from ultrastretch featuring nottingham-born and now london- based artist matthew burton. a – who loves yous short, sharp hats and robotesque samples build slowly and aloofly to what becomes a somehow familiar and nostalgically tinted style. it is in fact, sampled from the 1987s >the running man< soundtrack, originally composed by harold faltermeyer and picked and plucked apart by matthew burton to make it into his own. the epic synth riff melted with its strong kick and tightly sprung sound corners are eerie and atmospheric. >who loves you< resonates with all of us with its clear 80s feel thats been manipulated into a new and exciting piece of underground music from matthew burton. b – small winner takes us on another journey all together. a deceivingly kicky intro steers us into a combination of swooning orchestral brass and delicate jazzy piano keys who share their space with a crunchy and inviting rhythmic stride. its cleverly concocted instrumental experimentation lends its listeners ear towards the smooth ambience while the hypnotic beat keeps us subconsciously moving. dramatic pauses, a syncopated yet soothing orchestral fusion build >small winner< into an original and intriguing musical piece.

crazy p return to 2020vision with their first new material since the stop space return album. the mts series is a chance for jim & chris to get back to basics and produce some club tracks for their in demand dj sets, before they reconvene with the rest of the band for their next album. already making waves with both of their soloexcursions (ron basejam and hot toddy), they team up here for two perfect examples of their trademark disco and house vibes. crazy p are quite rightly held in great esteem from some of the hippest names around, wolf & lamb, jamie jones and tensnake to name three. they have been ploughing their own deep disco furrow for many years waiting for fashion to catch them up, and now can take the plaudits for being figureheads of this uk scene. my love is a superb raw house cut, thats custom built for sweaty basement sessions, influenced by classic us house. make me wanna takes a moreunk riffs and diva vocals. both of superb examples of the amazing crazy p sound and have had unanimous glowing feedback from the few people lucky enough to have heard them so far

the debut release by molly wagger is the single >weekend<. the original mixes a forlorn and melancholy vocal with an uplifting major 7th piano driven backing. to complete the release we also include the live favourite >molly<, an ode to one of the band members cat. all elements are tinged with a grey-skied but undeniably optimistic scottish pulse which makes it all the more an interesting listening experience.
richard norris in his time and space machine guise take things into 12 inch territory with his remix on the flip side. we gave him the balearic brief and true to form that is exactly what he has delivered, a touch of granite and dark edinburgh afternoons mixed with some ibizan post sunset haze.

>3.652 tage< : the track a day originated after my 10-year-old djs jubilee. from the mood of the eve, there originated thus the acoustics-percussion beat with emitter surfaces. >zeitfenster< : this track with miguel aka electric gloss, to a friend from portugal produced. he has visited me for two days in frankfurt, meanwhile we were diligent in the studio. the sound capes remind me of a typical summer thunderstorm. >eureka< : this number has something incredible for me. a kind of space-electro with quite futuristic melody. if somewhat is inspired by the film barbarella. unambiguously one of my favourites on the album.

two brand new function tracks ! finally available as a two sided release - features original a-side... function aka dave sumner returns with the new version and supreme techno affair that is >variance<. moody in the extreme, this release finally comes with the kicking and slightly acidic b-side it always deserved without sinking into the predictable mire of dub techno. space is indeed the place....
