in 1986 steve earles new brand of country-rock music was taking nashville by storm. his debut album >guitar town< topped the billboard country album charts, as did the single with the same title.
influenced by bruce springsteen (who was earles eureka!) and townes van zandt (after whom he named his firstborn), this was one of the strongest & most confident debut albums released in the 80s.
he showed an angry literacy, a dark sense of humour & a street-smart snarl that was uncommon amongst his country counterparts and made him stand out amongst the crowd. but he was also ostracised because of his anti-vietnam stance & long hair.
this is the first vinyl re-issue of this double grammy nominated album since its original release! comes on audiophile 180 grams vinyl, including bonus track and insert.

after a break for over a year pattern repeat is back again with another two tracks on their own label. both kenneth & resoe has been really busy last year, so it has been difficult to meet up in the studio. but now they had the time to finish two tracks of deep dirty techno from the capitol of denmark copenhagen. again they set it of with raw dirty dub infected grooves and the a side starts up right away with the dub elements intact, and then keeps building through the rest of the track. after the short break a hypnotic atmosphere kicks off in best pattern repeat style. the b side starts slowly with an almost alfred hitchcock kind of atmosphere, with a dull kick underneath. the track keeps gettin more dirty through the 6 min. and 15 secs. it last, with more distortion added to the dub stabs. its a good way that kenneth & resoe returns since the last 12 inch they put out in december 2010, to set the stage for 2012.

second single cut from the collaboration album of minilogue & koss aka kuniyuki. a side, original version is cinematic ambient jazz which reminds the sound of ecm. earth tone mix is club friendly dance edit, the sound is like a mixture of mathew jonson and ame. b side, original version of horizon is epic 60min psychedelic techno. this edit version is like a dj tool. its for fans of ricardo villalobos ... and this release is last release on mule electronic. we cant feel good at all to separate the release of techno & house.

amazing deep house bombs! already a classic release. good old days are back.

disco connoisseur and edit maestro ray mang is back with a killer release for the disco deviance imprint. lock & pop is a heavy slice of body popping, good times boogie that is guaranteed to get the party started. while on the flipside, viva las vegas is a hands-in-the-air style disco bomb that will drive the dance floor crazy. lovingly edited and re-mastered for 100% disco action. enjoy the music!

electronic duo cage & aviary are set to release their debut album >migration< on prins thomas internasjonal imprint. part man, part machine, part cockatiel, cage & aviary take flights of fancy whenever they can. jamie paton is a dj, a one-finger keyboardist, and a pot-tickler. nigel of bermondsey is a musician, south londons finest oscillator, and a dedicated dabbler. together they are winners of the cosmic lottery. having put out releases to much acclaim on the ltd editions that are dissident distribution, cage & aviary have since spread their wings with releases on dfa, tiny sticks and astro lab.

the name dachshund is one immediately associated with experimantation, an innate feeling for ryhthm and good dose of tongue and cheek. the swiss dj, producer and label founder can scarcely hide his musical roots in reggae. the sunshine feeling from those days still shines through in his current productions and gives them a touch of dub. his latest ep for highgrade records is no different. this leads to the first track >extensive talk< with its reduced beginning sounding something like a false start. gloomy voices implore us to >come, sit down, forever<.this delusion establishes itself in a musical theatre, while simultaneously becomming more pressing as the track winds its way into the legs – moving inexorably towards the second groovy track, >asymmentric love<, with its sprinkle of varied and original sound ideas. the final offering, >octogone< goes even further and weaves original loops and straight edged percussion into a compelling carpet of sound.

do you remember the classic track >salsa house< back in good old 1988? yes? no? no problem! you will find a great cover version of this classic as the opener track of the new deep88 ep. a tribute to that amazing sound from the 80s … and yes the piano is the famous korg m1 piano preset as you may have already recognized!
the second track on the a side is a deep and straight track named >summer original<. the track features a lead synth clearly inspired by >summer madness< from kool and the gang.
the b featuring the mysterious vocalist laura. b1 is titled >5 a.m.<, which is coincidentally the perfect time for playing this version! if you dig the likes of roisin murphy this will be right up your street!
the last track of the ep is the named >detroid edit< and als features the amazing vocals of laura.all the best - 12records crew

in advance of the release of dapayk & padbergs third full-length sweet nothings - this time round on stil vor talent - the experienced duo are teasing us with the fluffy cloud ep, which showcases three of the album’s many diverse highlights, while keeping the vinyl lovers happy. the a-side bears the lps title track >sweet nothings<, on which dapayk & padberg’s sound takes a turn as they come knocking with a deep but forceful groover, whose distorted high-hats and trancey synth stabs create a vibe both euphoric and weirdly subdued. the lyrics, moreover, emphasise the duality at the core of many dapayk & padberg tracks as the latter ponders ‘you’re good for me - you’re bad for me’. showing another of the duo’s many facets, ‘backyard’ enchants thanks to mystical lyrics sung beautifully over a deep quasi-dubstep structure. marking the ep’s mid-point, the atmospheric song shines through intricately crafted fragility and is the perfect contrast to the previous and following track, while leaving a strong desire for more stuck in the listener’s mind. on the b-side, ‘fluffy clouds’ does quite the opposite to what its title suggests - rather than being a soft little piece, we are treated to big-room techno fodder à la berghain. a skeletal framework of heavy kicks, dark pads, white noise and dense metallics works relentlessly underneath a cold spoken word, proclaiming >not human, not animal - just a body in motion<. machine funk par excellence.

addictive beatdown house tracks inspired by the athmosphere of a foggy san fransisco. memories of days with good friends hanging out in a foggy city gives a melancholic feel, but the masculine grooves make this a fierce release that works well in the club. a nice combination that goes back to some hiphop roots and a love for deeper intense house music that works in the club. great start for this new japanese label from tokyo!

alberto pascual analytic trail after anagrams ep in 2010, releases for the second time a project of one of the most internationally famous spanish producers, alberto pascual. his works have been played by richie hawtin, dubfire, markantonio, adam beyer, cristian varela, joseph capriati and others techno giants. bailando, is a creative and tasteful ep formed by four track, including a remix of manuel anos a.k.a. psyk, already reached the success with is project released on richie hawtins minus label. the first track is bailando, it has a powerful charge with its massive groove and obstinate synth that flies hasty on a swarm of rides. no breaks in this tune, techno device. bailando continues to leave its mark through another spanish producer, his name is manuel anos a.k.a. psyk. he creates an amazing remix made by a weighty kick and a compressed bassline, this compact but hard beat is surrounded by acid sounds and increasing effects that make of this track a dark techno wave of course.amok has a rousing modulation that directs the track in a swinging vibe with linear claps and hihats. but is just the beginning, after few minutes something changes, a dirty synth in background starts to support an hurry beat that goes on till the break. here everything seems to quiet till the restart, where the ride rules and nobody cant avoid its rage. final lap with homonymous track of this ep. this artist on this tune can show his eclecticism using a techno unbreakable step with electronic cyclic string. wonderful underground soundtrack. so young, so strong, so techno. this is another quality touch for analytic trail, good music must be appreciated.

the connaisseur family welcomes its youngest member: ava myra flitsch. the daughter of hilary and alex flitsch was born november 15th, 2011 and both the parents and good friends of the label celebrate this miracle with this release. all participating artists were asked to produce a very personal piece of music. the style was left up to the artists, resulting in a beautifully mixed batch of great tracks. the intro track hello! by dop & masomenos features a little vocal snippet as a salutation by masomenos adriens son and it is an atmospheric, soundscapish and beatless tool.

next up on nang we-re honoured to introduce -2am- the new ep by sheffield scenester producers hiem along with another of the cities finest fellows- phil oakey of the human league. the original track is a synth pop powerhouse about those twilight club nights that you never wanted to end- complete with a epic guitar solo- computer blips and glistening synth rushes. oakey is as accomplished as ever- bringing his signature tones to full effect and it-s nothing short of sensational. to accompany- we-ve enlisted the skills of four producers to give us some cracking remixes. fernando and toomy disco are first up- and they ramp up the tempo and vibe for a loose -n- live rework that-s perfect for the dance floor. hiem themselves give it a go with his -1984 rework- bringing 80-s power drums- van halen solos and some atmospheric subtleties to the table. nang-s italian uber-cool-cat brioski steps up next giving us the italian angle with a brilliant walking bassline and luscious wide mix. the heels of love bring us frivolous percussion and stomping disco beats layered between emosh pads and slick keys. ace. to finish- our good friends free school take things down a notch for a beautiful leftfield excursion that only they could pull off.

this one is with morgan phalen, from a band called diamond nights that we love but went unnoticed 6/7 years ago. he lives in los angeles and we had him come over to paris to record. we wrote the lyrics with him and tried, as always, not to sound too stupid, avoiding clichés like come to the dancefoor, but without pretending to be bob dylan either. our lyrics are always a bit quirky. if they sound good and theres a little edge or something fun to them, were happy.

coloured vinyl! sometimes it takes a while, but in the end all good things come together! that’s exactly what happend when our favourite murat tepeli got in touch with us and presented these outstanding tracks. from the jacking >çiftetelli< via deeper territories >mastika< to the core of electronics >good< the whole spectrum from one of germanys most gifted producers! welcome murat!! thanks for purchasing a real copy!

we are proud to release the first ep from the new fluxion album on echocord. this work is about his travels in music. the sounds, influences and aesthetic of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the music influences deriving from them. through his prism those sounds, pictures, travels, emotions left traces of new directions, of future journeys to take. fluxion captured the motion in his travels with a different feeling each time. on no man is an island with the unreleased dennis brown vocal version ,an influential song, with a clear message. desert nights a kind of desert rock meeting dub on a road movie. butiama an actual place, where variations and consistency in rhythm is within people s dna. this ep also includes a flowing rmx by our good friend thomas fehlmann. after a decade in the field of dub, techno, ambient, fluxion opens the horizon with music that cannot fall under one specific territory.

andras toth is not a nu-school producer. please refrain from adding up-and-coming to his biography. he has arrived. with his second full solo-ep on alphahouse records, he presents a varied and captivating look into the mind of an accomplished musician. following the success of his previous works on the label, his debut >us< and the collaborative ep >futures< with boss-man butane, >would u?< is a trip through improvisational jazz, open-air sunrises, and sonic after-hours explorations. herein lies real music, nothing formulaic, nothing safe. the ep embodies an ethos, held by alphahouse, that musicianship is about originality, not following trends. there is still much that remains good in the world of independent electronic dance music. we will continue to search for, and find it.

the third release on the exquisite pain vinyl is a various artists sampler in which we are exploring a few genres of house music .3 tracks on the menu with >cosmic luck< by duff disco (join the dots) . duff disco delivers a pure masterpiece smartly blending between deep house & nu disco . then we have eddie c (endless flight) taking care of remixing good guy mikesh & filburts >gold snake< which is a pure piece of music . eddie is upping the tempo turning the track into a true dancefloor weapon . finally we have sasse (moodmusic) & james flavour (dirt crew) remixing alain ho & alex arnouts >your love< , a real belter for every single deep house lovers

4 tracks and 4 producers on one 12 inch. dj support from om unit, plastician, distance and many more … proper underground bass pressure, dont sleep - this is very limited and very good!

hailing from dubsteps home town of croydon, wheel & deal records introduce surge. with a signature deep and base driven sound you will come to recognise instantly, trust us when we say, you will be hearing a lot more from this guy. >leech< starts us off with a hauntingly atmospheric vocal track featuring vocalist phxis. sub heavy with marching beats and harmonic tones, this is a perfect mix of angelic vocals, and hard metallic beats. with exclusive support from n-type & walsh. >swaying mantis< sounds exactly as you would imagine. intelligent beats, heavyweight and dramatic, you may have heard n-type starting many of his sets over the summer with this one. unapologetically bass driven with relentless sway this one will get in your head and stay, in a good way!

what can we say about this ep ? not much. this is a very well known house artist who wants to keep his identity secret. he sent us some parts of his old 90s house tracks and luckily they were remixed by our good friends coat of arms and breach from uk. this is a very special release for us. enjoy!

it has been a while since alex showed up with a follow up on credo, but as you know, good things do not only last for a while, they also require some time to be finished and this result is more than worth to wait for! hollywood bullet might remind you on some classic trackss essence and it kicks of impressively however, the real >go< follows after huuuge breaks and now its your turn to free the animals on the dancefloor with this weapon that contains not only plenty of energetic basslinesounds, but also load of colors which could be missed these days on often very monotonous technoproductions. alex is not afraid of bringing colors, and not only shades on credo, and so does heartattack: a really weird and unexpected groove on 120 bpm only, even kind of housy, but the upbuilding rythmic noises bring the track back to where it comes from, and this is nothing else as pure bassic energy. very very big release in our eyes!

so after the elusive triumph of our first release finally came firmly into our grasp, we at sequencias here in new york thought it was time to take things in a parallel direction without retracing our steps. drafting three top names in underground deep house for a label debut is no mean feat, but how do you follow up on a surprise coup like that? we thought it was time to go even deeper, and we couldnt think of a better way of doing that than getting an experienced player to unveil a new alias for our second offering. things being as they are, weare trying to keep it a bit low here, but what we can let you know is that his discography stretches back to 2005 and that he has appeared on the illustrious bunker records. this should give you a good idea of what to expect: deeper-than-deep, dirty, and gritty house that jacks with the best the movement has to offer. we have to say that orpheus firmly delivers here, and we hope you will be as pleased as we are with the three dark and introspective offerings he unveils for his new project here at sequencias.

live at the regal ein klassisches tondokument, das nicht nur im blues seines gleichen sucht. ein album, welches in keiner sammlung fehlen darf.

for our third instalment on mars recordings weve decided to go for transparent green vinyl! this has nothing to do with aliens, we wouldnt be that obvious, but its the colour chosen by the artists and we think it looks like another great mars package. musically, well edward oberon & paul t have conjured up 2 awesome tracks. >love is< is absolutely sublime with its warm bass line and delicate sounds to the breakdown, while keeping the drums nice and punchy, a great tune to roll out. >absolute< harks back to the deep sounds of old good looking by the likes of big bud or tayla. ridiculous sub-lo bass and deep strings, this is how mars do things and we feel its another quality 12 inch where the music & the packaging matter.

the time has now come for eklektisch to unveil release number 006 and a debut from melohman & javi bora (20:20 / upon you). staying true to the label s ethos, the pair harnessed the warmth of the summer and with flurry of piano chords, created another feel good dancefloor anthem in >you love you<.
the first of the remixes sees label boss edu imbernon pay tribute to his summer on the white isle with his villaimberlove remix. a weighty kick drum, spritely key melody and fiercely plucked strings make for a more driving version of the original.
more upfront still, is the rework from uk house don steve mac. having spent enough time of his own in ibiza this summer and celebrated the release of his artist album >roots<, steve looks to inject a large dose of pace and tech-muscle, whilst bathing us in aggressive and effective synths.

the 2nd in this fine series pops out. showing the diverse selections of the dekmantel crew: awanto3 (alfabet, rednose distrikt), makam (dkmntl) and lone (werk, magic wire, r&s) on the line up this time... tip!

human woman is the new signing on hfn music, made up of two very promising artists from iceland, gisli galdur (aka galdur) of prolifi c icelandic band trabant, and producer jón atli helgason (aka sexy lazer). coming together in the studio the pair have forged a fantastic fusion of modern electronic pop, with their debut single, ‚delusional‘. the ep release, which will be accompanied by a music video, serves as a teaser for the upcoming debut album, which is planned for spring 2012. taking influences right across the board, the duo have cooked up a sensual, catchy indie-dance track that’s pleasingly reminiscent of the 80s, yet carries a great modern sheen thanks to the production skills of human woman. cinematic, feel-good music for travelling, for friends, for living! denmark‘s wonder kid kasper bjørke is fi rst to get his hands on ‚delusional‘, introducing a straighter groove which leans more towards the slow-housedisco fraternity in this slow-cooking remix. berlin‘s vincenzo then takes it even more cosmic with a bass heavy club mix that maintains the slow tempo yet elevates us to a more hypnotic plain. clean, pure elements greet us in this luxury remix from the emotive house master. zev from wolf & lamb then has his say with his ‚brooklyn beatdown mix‘, breaking up the beats and tripping things out with some real old-school new york vibes.

the first release ever for ivan. he is a dj and producer from croatia and we looking forward to hear more new stuff to come out from this brand-new talent.

a good thing takes its time, thats what rico henschel aka sweetncandy must have thought. after a little off-time for the producer located in bielefeld (ger) and an ample re-orientation phase, he is back now in the electronic music game with fresh sound – a sound that really hits your ears and brain, which makes us even happier to present sweetncandys debut single >feel something, say something< on our deep circus label. besides >feel something, say something<, the record contains two more tracks: >dew drop motel< & >you and you<, both bringing you lots of deepness, groove and funk just like the title-track. enjoy
