spanish based uner has been a solid part of diynamic for the past 4 years now, contributing amazing tracks and sets (live and dj). his new release four consecutive is a long awaited ep featuring two completely new uner tracks. and when we say completely new, we mean it! the more analog sound and density of the tracks create a deeper and darker sound, proving uner is completely on top of the direction house music is going these days.

midnight moves. thats what comes to mind when you listen to cale parks s n1, preferably at an hour long after dusk has settled around you in some beautiful, insomniac city. parks finds – or more aptly, seeks – beauty and grace in ambience and shadows. n1 starts as pure atmosphere – it feels at first like a sort of lovely sonic nothingness slowly taking form – before growing into the darkly lit, gorgeous moodscape it later becomes. a sensual bassline, a pulsing downbeat, a cinematic piano, strains of italo disco, and the sensation of breezing down a lightless road. if you could make sensuous shapes of the night – imagine kneading the dark itself – it might, at the very best, feel like this. the task of remixing parks s original is taken up by french duo paradis, who can otherwise be heard making music on tim sweeney s beats in space label. the paris-based producers shine a brightening light on parks s dusky creation, quickening its pulse and trading in its darkwave undercurrents for enlivening techno and house. theres an element of floating here – a dreaminess in the rhythms, an astral aspect to the keys beaming through the beats. and with the addition of vocals, sung in french – a pop finishing touch on a song that already feels like an earworm – the transformation is complete. this excellent introduction to cale parkss music is also his debut release on the hakt label.

following the success of the consumer ep by fellow label owner james johnston comes the praise ep by alex agore, and its a true return to form for him on no matter what. the record opens with the title track >praise< - an inspired tribute to gospel music, keeping all the soul but reimagining it into something more infectious. uplifting keys combine with vocals that will have you trying your best to sing-a-long, over a bass groove that holds it all together. >falling< is a slower affair, with its dream-like chords, airy synthwork, cowbell hits and seamless hats. a perfect track to start a night or to end one. the b-side completes the package with two undeniable house jams. you will soon realise how much you like >theres no love< when its skippy vocal is stuck in your head, hours after hearing it for the first time. >i can feel you< closes out the ep on a deeper note which will have you thinking of moments when the sun is about to rise, yet the night is far from over.

a new project for polluted records. poll022 is presenting a newcomer that is making a mark in the industry. kristian gjellan is a norwegian artist with a deep and tech hearth, soul and brain for electronic music. his project on polluted is a long awaited release that has the exclusivity of 3 remixes edited by dj sossa, sinan kaya and lorenzo panico. 3 takes 3 styles 3 dance floor bombs out of two original tracks from the artist himself.

meditative, absorbing dance music in true moritz style — at times seemingly transfixed by its own elements, and minimal almost to vanishing-point, but quickly back ticking, kicking and amassing, with the lethal dubwise density of the classic berlin sound. twelve minutes long, trenchant and forbidding but sharply alive, the dub itself is a kind of deep fort-da gambit which scoops your brain out for a quick sluice, before replacing it slightly skewiff. dont drop your guard because of the tresor.

a-side brings a 45rpm mentalcore speed hardtechno, very progressive with some good bloody breaks, and bass changes! twirling stuff absed on a david green sample... playable at 33rpm.. b-side brings one 33rpm dub techno breakbeat track, very efficient, with a long dub intro, opening on a massive kick where it was expected. a real tune travelling into style and remaining dancefloor, this tune is a postal collaboration between lityk and vulpine smile from usa. one side 33 rpm boostables and one side 45 rpm playable 33rpm... a superb record we are very proud to co-produce with lityk.

in on my way, a rich cultural heritage has been distilled into an upfront album of burning dance floor action, showing us why the bbe-crowned king of digging has for so long remained a formidable, worldwide musical icon.

after the successful debut release schmitzhöhe ep, bergwacht records is now coming up with the second project arbol del tule ep. of course the now well-favoured sound of bergwacht turns up on this release as well, and with dutch artists michael and jurriën of 10dens two more appreciated ambassadors of melodic techno could be gained over. the idea of producing an ep to pay homage to the trees of our earth arised after a long-standing friendship followed by 10dens first gig at a bergwacht event end of 2012. once again this is made clear: bergwacht is a family affair.

the 14th release on the made fresh daily label comes from barcelona resident and long time label supporter swoose. the former shine resident dj known to friends as danny simpson turns in a tough slice of forthright vocal house in the shape of rushin and it is complemented by a trio of remixes from rising uk deep hose talent timmy p, the venerable washerman and jmx, swooses partner in the extended play crew. in short, we have taken a banging original and flipped the script on it in several ways. showcasing our mob of talent in a blinding 4 track ep.

a side neptune builds with a tuned delicacy, layers of reverb hosting a restrained beat alongside melancholic synth work. sea of glass typifies nethers atmosphere driven sound, furthering his explorations into deep sonic space initiated on his previous release for space cadets.

favouring the potential of techno as a vessel for shock and awe, curiosity records emerges with a focused intent and a powerful opening statement with this ep from one of the unsung heroes of french electronic music, arnaud le texier. having followed his heart throughout his career and always seeking to unlock the creative potential of minimalism in music, arnaud has traveled far and wide both as a dj and a producer before reaching this point here, where he heeds the call of long-serving parisian upstart skat in providing tracks for his new label. cry001 stands strong as a testament to the principles that make techno exciting, avoiding the popular trend of industrial brutality in search of a more spiritual message within the intense drum patterns and synth arrangements

vinyl only rlease, 180 gram copies.
two, proper long stories on each side with some beautiful atmospheric-deep-techno touch from romanian producer with amazing style.

amazing new doublepack release by morphine man rabih beaini aka morphosis - tip!!disconcerting, questing brilliance from rabih beaini: two sick, nervy techno killers (including an ethio homage), stalking the corrosive perimeters of noise, and deep, long excerpts from his engrossing soundtrack to dreyer s vampyr, with contributions from the upperground crew, and sun ra in its marrow, alternately driving and motorik, off-the-wall, lost in space.

this time label boss jacek sienkiewicz goes under his alias reserved for club-oriented tracks, which is, well, recognition. we got accustomed to jaceks slight changes of style, or rather changes in his approach to music over the years, and this record is no exception: ditching his trademark, long, painstakingly elaborate and complex tunes in favor of probably the most straightforward, uplifting, fresh tracks in a long time.

cavaan is the alter ego of a rather well known berlin producer and his fellow from milan. the duo debuts with their very much loved project. they feature a studio-recorded wonderful vocal on this hypnotically modern percussive house affair titled black snow. the original track grooves on some free swinging retro percussions and beats from the 80s machinery and a softly moving house-beat making this a very subtle killer for any dancefloor. while the vocals carry the track as light as a feather it is after the breakdown that things get really musical - you will hear yourself while listening the melodies and sequences. for the remixes turdjr has aligned a high-quality and diverse array of a current top producer. one of heidelbergs coolest kids on the block, lopazz knows that every track gets better with a lot of handmade music-and he sure is right in his interpretation of black snow. last not least i is under on the flip which is one of these tracks that sucks the listener in so deep that there is simply no escape: repetitive yet constantly changing and constantly grooving while remaining very pure! this release is filled with tracks that will long echo on the dancefloor!

2013 sees the release of norwegian disco viking rune linbaeks latest long player, on his drum island label. its his first album since the 2000 release (sondag) on paper recordings repap offshoot. last years single wonder feat kurt maloo on the label was a day one sell out here at all ears and marked a significant maturing of runes trademark sound. the influence of norway on the worlds forward thinking disco scene & beyond is more than evident, with countrymen like todd terje, prins thomas and hans peter lindstrom all leading the charge for years now. the creative cauldron of the infamous club in a public toilet skansen has much to answer for! krasava is a very much vocal led project, with a cast of featured vocalists which includes norwegian popstar anneli drecker alongside recent collaborator Øyvind blikstad. the album is steeped in norwegian folklore, visually and musically and the gentle lilt of the norse/balearic sound, sits comfortably alongside more cosmic flavours, rock and beautifully crafted pop.

decks tip! after the great success of veitengrubers supervision ep as the first degree record, the label now comes up with the second hit ep by a very well-known artist - nick curly. the smart owner of the famous and dearly beloved labels cecille and 8bit thereby is giving one of his rare guest performances on other labels. in addition these three tracks are his first ep after his debut album >between the lines< in 2012. by this record, we will divide the long and desperately awaited summer in three parts to cater for all tastes - deep (time will tell), techhousy (people) and a tooly (beat the clock) - available digitally and on vinyl. the time will tell ep is the typical nick curly sound with a fresh note of 2013. so we radially spread warmth and power with sun and sound deeply into your mind.

dublin based duo, dave hargadon & phil long aka slowburn make their debut on lunar disko records with four machine-driven house and techno jams. fusing the percussive sounds of chicago & detroit with their trademark analogue soundscapes, slowburn once again push deeper into the realms of house and techno with their third full ep, crafted somewhere between the black pitts and contae sligeach. slow-rising cuts demonstrating precision drum programming, delicate chords and pads, alongside some acute arrangement, make for another outstanding ep from two fast-rising irish producers. lotus, is it?

as apple pips continues to explore its opening mantra of echo, depth, swing and bass within the duplicitous realms of modern electronica, it welcomes to the fold two long-standing friends of the label and in turn sheds light on their own fresh avenues within house music. you might already know lrusse as id or behling, commonly found kicking up the dust alongside sam baobinga simpson in all manner of styles and tempos, while bleecker has an accomplished back-story in dubstep as wedge & through his own if symptoms persist imprint. in their new venture both producers fuse their dancefloor inclinations with more searching, experimental textures and tones, placing crafty sound design on a level pegging with the more immediate tropes of groove and presence.

wheel & deal records presents the long awaited first album from the young, eclectic and talented dj / producer benton. following a stirling release catalog with wheel & deal, benton gives us his deep, dark dose of uk bass. benton brings dubstep, dnb, jungle, garage, acid house, dub & grime in to the mix, showing a knowledge of underground dance music but with a fresh, unique take on genre. reflections is a innovative and deep musical journey.
