femen is the second ep from hound scales on fifth wall, the brooklyn imprint he runs with divvorce. a dedication to the powerful women that have sculpted his life, the release sees the artist setting out to create the story of their impact on him by distilling these and other major influences into a techno format. the result is two originals blending amen-style jungle rhythms with collapsed industrial squeals, each with its own sense of beauty clawing upwards towards the surface.on the remix front, japanese producer and 10 label head honcho yuji kondo delivers an incredibly complex, layered interpretation of *a clique of tough women*, while mira and opal tapes affiliate bleaching agent pits the elegiac chords of the original *throated* against a repeated, mangled vocal motif, imbuing the remix with nostalgia while remaining an effective dancefloor instrument.
support includes marcel dettmann, norman nodge, sunil sharpe,tommy four seven, perc, and, forward strategy group, sigha, darko esser, mosca, shadow dancer, and sinden.
the title track for schallbox015 is delivered by none other than label boss steve cole himself. with a driving groove, playfully set chords and vocals by her majestys sound (aka alexander friedrich), the original version asks every dancer for the *last dance*. or then, is this just the beginning the cast of remixers, consisting of rené bourgeois & dan caster, as well as the glitz, lines up in perfect sequence and will again set every dance floor on fire!

gaetano vinci a.k.a. hooved has been one of the most dependable producers on amam over the years, and more recently, his sound has mutated in some unexpected directions. thats why its high time to give our knob- twiddling satyr his own special catalog code from now on, and here we present amamhvd001, or for those of you who prefer titles instead of strings of letters and numbers, the timeless ep, his first 12inch of the year. the near-15-minute tmlss 1 begins with a 2-step beat, and as it unfolds, the beats only get more broken, causing a sense of auditory psychosis while somehow remaining calm, cool and collected.
toolbox is so proud of this wax. i discover somatic responses with their very first ep on cfet, and i still dig for any of their music. whatever it was with cavage, with ant-zen or with dbn. but its true to say techno became more and more rare with them. and this time we hang on with four unrealesed techno and hardcore tunes from somatic responses! the sound is just acid and crazy of course, but this is not oldschool, this is music, probably the best musical ep on acid night.
collision ep brings 4 acid banging tunes, dark and insane as excpected, with one superb tune, called supernova (a2), playing the acid break pressure leading to the beat.
ol aka oleg buyanov is well known in his native russia already. he has a background extending from releases on faces records and scuzzy lo-fi hip hop beats on labels like error broadcast, idle and fine grains dating back to 2007. more recently though he has been increasingly turned on by dance floor focussed sounds and as such, here come two missives on russias capital bass (which also hosts a popular bass and garage night in moscow and has done since 2006).
killekill 014 is being delivered by alex cortex. on the a-side hyperfocus combines a heavily distorted kickdrum with uplifting trance chords and a breakbeat feeling as if this was the most normal thing in the world. the result is an outstanding anthem that can be used on all floors, whether they are techno, house or breakbeat.by force of attrition is a typical alex cortex-track, driving and static at the same time, slowly moving, hypnotic and deep. the b-side features a remix of hyperfocus by skudge. the swedish duo recently released an ep of alex cortex on their label skudge presents and in return remix this track here for killekill. they extract the breakbeat sounds of the original and use them for a warm minimalistic house tool driven by a smacky wooden snare.
mellys uses striking kicks. sobre and efficient his sounds are physical and brings a natural born good feeling on the dancefloor. the a-side is all about that, a powerfull dancefloor 180 bpm fat confort. his selectas of friends tunes on b-side is exactly on the same scale. format c brings an obsessing hardtek oldschool tune while zside brings a superb dancefloor track as well. honstely this is a total sticking 100% to the peur bleue sound style. digging for more collab! and very awaiting playing this record for real on the dancefloor!

up steps the prodigiously talented 20year old justin jay, a true california golden child, born, raised and nourished within the la city limits for his culprit debut with the jaguar. the three track ep has been the result of organically built relationship with the labased imprint, with songs inspired by la and the labels sound and credo.
christoph el truentos debut album, what we used to know, is born of change and confusion, and sounds utterly incredible for it. the deeply talented 24-year-old new zealander started writing back in 2011 at the time his son was born. tired fatherhood, personal upheaval and artistic indecision would actually help show christoph a clear path towards completing the record – a transcendant sweep of synths, samples, organic instrumentation and window ledge field recording that gently reveals new layers of sonic texture and emotion to the listener.

bergstrom cuts to the chase: cavernous, reverbed chords, slicing high hats and steely snares strapped to a sinewy 909 kick, with a siren droning faintly in the background. four-to-the-floor ekaterina is the fever dream of funky house: icy hats and reverbs trick out a heavily filtered synth and a heaving sample of vintage polka. kicking off the flip, more war: state and revolution evokes a kind of long march beneath forbidding skies, its occasional skirmishes between razor sharp hats and muted claps blanketed by echoing synth stabs. finally, damperhof draws the curtains and departs the dancefloor: a mournful, impressionistic cello, a slow throb, a little acid, sombre chords bouncing around the ruins... this is mirko at his most expressive
repress 2015 !!

following on now from mayo soulomon, fbnm are proud to present our next release from another italian producer giorgio luceri. giorgio delivers two sumptuous house tracks here with completely opposite dispositions, the breezin balearic bliss of prophetic vibes versus the dark detroitian dissonance of woman. woman, with thudding drums and deep subs setting the picture right away. warbling synth begin to layer before the crescendo begins with fat analog stabs, rushing synth pads and airy groans. massive. detroitian. dancefloor. destroyer. lastly kai alce (ndatl muzik | atl) remixes of woman. simple but effective kzr delivers a retro house groove fitted out with lo-fi samples and old school sequenced mpc drum!
the fat dog label returns for its second outing with yet another confident four tracker designed for both the head and the feet. the proceedings begin with the sublime moonrunners. introducing contributions from new artist spooner, the production duo use their hardware to take us to the very craters with this bubbler of emotive deep techno with dissonant house touches, d link (fat dog & ny*ak) continues the basement feeling with urnogud4me, albeit at a slower tempo but still keeps the floor burning with an unsuspecting, intense voodoo-house mystery. this is raw club music. side b we head straight onto a greasy dance floor called werk. lush pads intermingle with breathy flute stabs while the building groove consistently nags attention from your feet. stop teases us back onto the slo-mo dance floor yet again with another scorching deep house groove for the hips with a subtle funk to be desired at the disco as well as the deep room. limited copies!
long time coming and definitely one of the triggers to start this label: listening to niagara and wanting to capture them on disc. their hands-on hardware live sets were keeping people on their toes. raw house with an improvised and fresh vibe outside the exclusive domain of the dancefloor. this connects with their more experimental past as one might add and translates perfectly into this intuitive approach to dance music. vinyl 12 inch limited to 300 hand-painted, hand-stamped copies.

hello?repeat 022 brings flash and anavi. both tracks in essence bring a linear and continuous flow, to many, a daze maxim signature in the sense that each element does not scream for attention alone, it is the combination of them which creates the overall impact. a dose of what we need when we need it. it is to do with structure, it is about the way in which elements are thrown in adding that bit of surprise effect which is able to stunt and amuse us all in a very good way. flash starts with a solid bass line, the vocal flash, a hypnotic cosmic/trippy element and a hoovering noise on the background making up the intro. the locomotive sounding high-hats then slam in, which together with the bass line complete a dance floor bliss of a track with all that groove.

since day one, radiq has been showing an affinity for the afro-centric funkiness and carefully-honed sound design of modern days minimal music. as in many of his previous tracks, all six songs of >vida noir< has this certain kind of unyielding quality - long, hypnotic grooves with muted kick drum set the stage for more emancipated experiments in texture and sound design. on >a long hot summer break<, for example, the effect is utterly obvious as kicking its ass into gear with syncopated drums and strain of warm chords before animated vocal sample slips in like fingerprint. while deeply seductive interplay of those chugging percussion gives way to delighted horn of >a-dieu<, warm chord and acoustic guitar of >calling< is perfect example for radiq’s masterful sound and texture. >machine codes modified< has rather restrained structure for him, but tightly woven drums speaks eloquently about its carefully arranged funkiness and dance floor functionality. despite their repetitiveness, its surprising how well these productions forming cohesive solidarity as an album. presumably, it owes a lot to wide tonal vocabulary which is radiqs hallmark - these tracks has something concentrated, vivid qualities. this album sits just at the edge of the dance floor, but also performs its exceptional strength on intense home listening. dusky synth and truncated surge of bass of >vida noir< constructing something dark, before closing this album with modulated afro-acoustic guitar and deep falsetto voice (by the producer himself) of >rondo<. this album offers up an engaging and comprehensive amalgamation from the inquisitive sound by the maestro
