fernando gallego is not a music band which we can define as common, on the contrary. this group from uburriana, successor of funeraria vergara, started its history back in the early 1984, (after juan luis montoliu left), and it ended in 1986 with the emergence of the project *decúbito supino*. their usage of some synthesizers, amongst other gadgets, keyboards and large petrol cans, was the distinctive feature as regards to their predecessor band, such an echo defined a much more industrial and electronic sound, closer to early ebm.

massive underground acid techno ... raw stuff

incl download code , since a few years mrz is steadily shaping his dancefloor sensitivity on zürich s underground and sophisticated parties. its not a suprise you can whitness mrz s flow on his new productions becoming more natural as it does when he performs live. these three tracks plus instrumental are only a pick of many great new tracks, so we hope you are going to like our selection: title track konterversum is just as you d be sneaking in a stairway and catching a couple - to our surprise - having a dispute while the party booms behind the door. subversly charming. multiversum does somehow picture how it feels trying to quit a conversation at phone - while riding an edgy but flowing groove. circaversum is basically held in swiss german dialect and we let you guess what they are talking about. we insisted on an instrumental version of the track for those not so much inclined into three-guys-jacking-the-mic-in-the-studio. it was worth it.

helsinki based label friendship & decadence was setup to tap in to the helsinki electronic music scene and highlight those young and talented producers who inhabit the city. the first release comes via the collective known as joint minds, comprising of three artists autoexec, poly sone & miss kade. the 2 tracks are both live jams recorded using a host of outboard and analogue equipment. -commotion- fills the a-side of the vinyl with a throbbing acid bassline and pulsating industrial stabs, whilst the flip side takes a more stripped back approach. with -headstuck-, a delayed piano floats around rolling drum pattern, uk techno influences aplenty.

emotional rescue returns to the post war music of west germany and the work of dominik von senger and his cohorts based around the dunkelziffer project. this special -sampler- ep of recordings was produced as their part in cologne s stollwerck art complex, that acted as a home and inspiration to their musical experiments. based within the disused industrial warehouses spaces of stollwerck, a mix of post-hippies, punks and anarchists created a community within that fed off each other s artistic endeavours.

while music in its definitive nature fills both space and time, creating environments in which we live and breathe, these miniature dramaturgies string together to become the screenplay to ones existence. sometimes chosen, and often times forced, these sounds influence the subconscious and designate emotions. purposely flowing fluently through a spectrum ranging from theatrical to rapturous tensions that mingle through the night. cio d or s cinematic compilation for semantica explores another side of techno, a niche home to cio where each intricate sound takes a risk for the sake of progression.

front left represents a very special corner in a very special spot on this planet. every week the front left people gather together to celebrate techno music. techno is what brings us together and what makes us family to one another. we rejoice listening to it, produce it, talk about it, share it and mainly dance to it. it is incredible how one physical spot creates so such magic and human connection. this label brings the productions of the front left people to the world. in the first release, you will find elad magdasi, a heavy dancer and an emotional producer. his productions are wide-ranged and loaded with a true rave spirit, combining an acid-line treatment and his melodic point of view. in the last two years elad s productions turned to the techno side, and now he feels it s time to finally let his music out. gathering knowledge and figuring out his style brought him to this point. his love for raving is what keeps his mojo going and brings the inspiration to his life. joining the first release is matrixxman (charlie duff), the talented producer who s been shaking dance floor with his hit -protocol- for already 2 years and now releasing his debut album on ghostly. not surprisingly, the connection between elad and matrixxman was also formed on the front left. the first release combines a slick collection of sounds.

welcome back to the movielike resonating sound world of the 23s. already in 2008 the mysterious one-man band proofed with the album “bolivia” that they are trying to do another kind of music – something that isn’t entertainment, something that isn’t show, something that goes gently straight to your soul. now the producer from nord-rhine-westphalia did it again and tuned in the longplayer “flamingo”. anew he delivers a special kind of cinematic journey music that grooves opposite to his other, more rhythm based hypnotic dance productions. also as the 23s he produces pattern-based music, but it pursues a different intention: each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films that his inner eye creates unprejudiced. all ten tracks are romantic smooth operators. they put themselves in service of an artistic vision, in which the listener should get lost in music. the album can be seen as a love-letter to the movie scores of the french 70s cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements you can hear in the early cinema of peter greenaway. with double bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there and beats that recollect the warm jazz influenced soul of oldschool hip-hop the 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. you can listen to it attentive. or you can just play it in the back while doing whatever you like to do. it is recommended to play “flamingo” in a decent amount of volume as all loungey tracks begin to live bigger and brighter with sound intensity. if you play it flashy you will experience an atmospheric sometimes light-flooded, sometimes foggy 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls to fill the room between the notes with their very own milky fancy. soon the album will be accompanied by a bunch of remixes tuned in and twisted by producers like giegling and white artists edward, christian s of the cómeme tribe, canadian producer the mole and the german post rock and electronic music band to rococo rot.

ep starts with my m my s track which was edited with a monoplay voice and collaboration, a classy melodic deep and box track to start the set with. the extended play continue with a «give me love» bomb - groovy and super foxy house track like a colorful kaleidoscope of sounds. no time for regrets is tribal colored and groovy tech house track to be liked by a producers with a thin smooth taste. nehundredandninthizm is ode to a one of most famous synthesizers in a world containing the sounds of it spicy beats and bright percussion line.

a n a k is the second full-length from los angeles-based underground, ambient beat producer chad valencia, aka yuk, a founding member of my hollow drum dj collective. valencia is also co-founder and head chef of rising filipino pop-up restaurant lasa. (see: new wave of gives filipino food a modern spin – la weekly.) after many years of keeping his passion for culinary arts separate from his personal musical output, a n a k represents a fusion of the two as cultural movements that share the same inspiration

can we melt the ice is one of those mystery records that collectors love so dearly. very little is known about it, other than that it appeared on plush records sometime around 1982 or 83. it was written and produced by chicago producer morris j williams, whose sweet vocal provides a vocal point for the track s sensual boogie vibes - all lilting horns, subtle synthesizers and shuffling grooves. brilliantly, this reissue from finlands constantly on-point traveller records also boasts a previously unreleased longer version, which naturally extends the tracks wonderful instrumentation in all the right places. recommended.

huge package from west end of exclusive or never before released versions of one of the highlights from their illustrious catalogue.... arthur russell s loose joints... is it all over my face? kon (king of nothing!) sourced the original stems to completely re make the track utilising both the female and male vocal parts in his outstanding -duet- mix. also included in the barnstorming 13 minute original version that s never seen the light of day... its significantly and dare we say on par with the original version! finally included is the rare as hens teeth original female vocal 3:10 7- version that was only ever released as a promo at the time. huge release that s set to cause ever lasting ripples in the disco music community!

reissue of a unknown b-side of an early belgian trance outfit release. before they made euro trance they made this heavenly balearic gem. it screamed for lauer remixes and he provided…
unless you have been sleeping it should be pretty obvious that wph head honcho red d has a weak spot for early belgian trance stuff. before trance was even known as trance that is… the early 90ies were the post new beat era in belgium and loads of producers were experimenting with new sounds to steer away from the blatantly commercial new beat chart stuff. so that is when the magic started happening.

you re next: growling reece and jumping drums. ulterior motive show no sign of let up after the debut album the fourth wall. menacing and dancefloor tested *you re next* was made specially for the floor.
music city: super funk. blaxploitation. ulterior motive resurrect a style not heard for a while with this one. sounding live and full of energy music city is the slick older cousin of 2014 album cut sideways and will no doubt be just as popular.

2015 repress - from the first glimpses of henry laufers work as shlohmo, it was clear that the la native and visual artist turned self-taught musician was onto something. with an effortless grasp on sound design, laufer combines deceptively simple and emotive melodies, subtle bass drops and swinging slow motion drums. his early work has placed him at the forefront of a new wave of rising talent amongst west coast producers… inspired by the desire to write songs and create a release of full-range instrumentation and vocals all his own, laufer promptly began home-recording >bad vibes<, his proper full-length debut album for the friends of friends label. some might say the songs on >bad vibes< represent the spawn of a new rhythm and blues - one that swings and sways under the backbone of henrys own take on modern electronic music. augmented with delicate slide guitar playing, homemade synth sounds and lilting, tuneful melodies, shlohmos latest output is one that will take you places - specifically the un-paralleled vibes swirling through this young mans head.

reissue 2015 - coloured vinyl
perbec is mark broom and baby ford. their last vinyl outing was -variety club- for the seminal ifach imprint in 2001. here they return with -chaser- an epic journey into the original principles of house music. infectious bass, chicago-style keys and deep, analog synth pads announce that the party is very much in full force. flip the disc for -long john- which features stripped rhythms with plenty of swing and energy - equally suited to the main room or afterhours. mastered at d & m.

originally a member of the california r&b group club nouveau, this was irving s crowning glory as a member on the chi-town house faternity. the song was written by dwayne willie wonka grant and remixed by frankie knuckles and is quite unlike most of the vocals that came out of the house scene, with a beautiful clarity to his voice.

the second jungle wonz release on trax, again with harry dennis gorgeous vocals, was sub-licensed to both new york label vendetta and breakout in the uk (both subsidiaries of a&m), with some fine remixes by former area resident justin strauss. -this was one of the first house songs i ever heard when i was like 14- recalls felix da housecat. -marshall jefferson has been a huge influence on all my basslines. people usually think that basslines come from 80 s pop bands but they came from marshall jefferson. marshall jefferson is probably the best house producer of all time for this period.-

after waiting 3 long years, and finally getting the multi track session to do a b side, im proud to present the star blazers cover version of the masterpiece danger zone which was originally done my midnight express. many should be familiar with detroit producer recloose, while back in new zealand he assembled a band who called them selves star blazers (an ode to the 70s legendary japanimation series and a big hit on bostons tv38.. indeed recloose is from massachusetts) and they recorded a few cover tunes.upon hearing this i knew it was special. while most modern covers miss the mark, purely emulating and sounding like a cheap imitation, leaving me wanting to just play the original. they flip the tempo, swing and vibe, straight up owning this and making it their own.

with four original tracks from chris carrier, this new ep is based around the original detroit vibe, with a hint of acid. the tracks all take their titles from famous nuclear devices, giving the music a foreboding overtone. rds-1 was the first weapon developed by the russians during the arms race of the early 20th century. the track is deep, driving and morose yet full of life. trinity was the codename of the very first nuclear test in 1945, this track is a shivering acid beast, minimal and absorbing. bwr 3 takes its name from one of the reactors at the doomed fukushima plant, subtle elements of funk flow through this restrained number. lastly comes chicago pile 1, the worlds first ever nuclear reactor, and a track that embodies the ominous possibilities of such an invention.

evan reiner aka gossamer macht elektronische musik, die von hip hop, hardcore und jazz guitar beeinflusst ist. reiner studierte an der berklee school of music film-sound und foley artistry (frei übersetzt: geräuschemachen). dabei streute er dann beispielsweise sand über schlagzeug-becken, oder nutzte gebrauchte patronenhülsen für percussion, was ihm eine ganz neue perspektive eröffnete. inspiration fand er bei künstlern wie ai weiwei oder maya duren. für sein debütalbum begann er während eines trips nach japan field recordings in tunneln oder unter einer brücke in l.a aufzunehmen. zu hause setzte er sich dann hin und *made accidents happen*. mit aufnahmegeräten, samplern, gitarren und analogen synthesizern. *automaton* ist eine präzise und sanftmütige traumlandschaft, die sich mal solcher musiker wie gas, boards of canada oder auch vangelis besinnt, wie auch brian enos und jon hassels album *fourth world*. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

with his big releases on terminal m, material, bitten, area remote etc. spanish dj and producer danny serrano is definitely on the run and delivering consistent high quality clubtracks since years. it was in 2009 when he had his first release on bouq (together with mendo) so it was about time to return to amir & butch s label.

a remix package which well represent the multifaceted approach of midgar to techno. edit-select opens with a long and groovy rework of lost in the instability , keeps the peculiar synth & basslines of the original cut, and goes further, carrying those elements to deeper dimensions. synthek delivers a stabbing remix of nibelheim , a killer techno cut where powerful broken beats continuously crash into the heaviest sonic waves. alba was originally an interlude solely composed of ambient sounds and ephemeral voices, which evolved with luigi tozzi s interpretation into a sweet and melancholic trip. wata igarashi to close the record, re-imagines pulse width as a mind-stressing experience held in a frame of hollow drones.

dfalt’s latest release brings the music back to where jason was all those years ago, twisting knobs on his beat up old roland 303. this time he steps to the plate with a host of tools including ableton, mpc1000, technics 1200s, various korg koass pads, casio sk-1, amongst many other gadgets and toys. an appreciation fort he old school masters and the mid-90s experimental and electronic beat scene, mixed with jason’s ever evolving production techniques, are what brought dfalt and his latest record to life.
the vinyl lp includes a code for free download of the full album.

the original version is nothing short of a classic, but its as if the song had never been invited to a louie vega post-midnight global extravaganza. was the song not aware that spellbound dancing and high bpms were the standard for house music? normally, such a blaring disregard for nightlife decorum would relegate a song to the pits of sonic hell, but we’re talking about george clinton here! the original opens up with a g-funk groove that screams westside and lowriders. the listener is then blessed with clinton as he adds his sage, soulful and pimpadelic vocals, complemented by funkadelic singers asking him about the pains of the funk. the semblance of a beat that could drive the dancefloor into the morning hours is there, but in no way has it blossomed into its full glory. enter louie vega.

last time round for finale, it was label boss michael zucker offering some rare insight into his prowess behind the buttons. here zucker adopts the more familiar curatorial role, easing the finale focus towards the new generation of parisian artists prospering in the french capital. ka one & st sene oversee the prospering flyance records and arrive on finale with the french connection 12inch after a recent turn out on london s ornate music. the four tracks suggest ka one & st sene are developing into a truly diverse production unit, with the crisp motor city utopia of smokin joint a particular highlight.

markantonio can rightly be described as one of italys true techno titans, working tirelessly as he has since the late nineties to bring the tougher side electronic music into the light. recording for labels such as marco carolas design music, billy nastys tortured records and umeks recycled loops, markantonio has spent the last 16 years on the cutting edge of quality techno but it was with the launch of his analytic trail imprint in 2001 that he perhaps truly came into his own.

moscow017 sees archie hamilton release his first solo ep on the label since it s creation, five years ago. the opening track was written at the end of a summer season spent in ibiza s cala vadella. it s intricate bass, percussion and emotive tones capture the mystery of this beautiful part of the island, putting the listener into a hypnotic state over it s 12 minute journey. contrarily, 21514 was written in the uk during the spring (the clue is in the title) micro house percussion is paired with dreamy synths and growling bass in perfect harmony to create 7 minutes of wonder. romania s priku lends a hand on the remix, adding a sense of dance floor aggression but without loosing the original character of the track.

the next release on first music comes from profile with a beautiful picture cover! its a musical journey and a bomb tool for the upcoming summer months! we doubt that estonian-born artist viive kuks could imagine in 1984 that her euau-forte >viljandi vaade< (trnl. view of viljandi) will be on the record sleeve of a dubtechno record in 2015. moreover, that the birthplace of the music is also viljandi and that the graphics plate was stolen during turbulent times when a lot of countries were liberated. it was quite an off-chance and hard to believe that profile found a copy of the work at his grandparents place, framed and photographed the work for his 2nd vinyl release. and here it is, through countless threads and connections, through the memories of our forefathers. pure liberation.

solar one with another strong one! three exclusive tracks from clatterbox (check the clear audio release by clatterbox!), and sentinel which will be on vinyl for the first time. this track was well supported by many djs around the world and garnered the following praise from uber dj dave clarke: sometimes you get tracks sent to you that give you chills down your spine and make you feel pretty proud to have a radio show, and that track that gave me that complete feeling was sentinel by clatterbox. coming on white vinyl.

tengrams are brothers alessandro and davide piatto, who collectively have a deep and long understanding of dance music. davide runs the n.o.i.a. label and was one of italy s first touring electronic live acts, performing and recording with drum machines and synthesizers as early as 1978. he was also behind seminal italo outfit klein + m.b.o and proto house hit dirty talk. since then they have released under an array of aliases, have clocked up many hits and this new project brings them back to their electronic roots, with influences like sci-fi movies and old school techno looming large.

the third release on interzona13 s sister label outerzona13... black s debut was one of our best-selling 12 s of last year, so this highly anticipated follow up couldn t come soon enough ! edits ? yes, but out of the ordinary, and out of this world - a ron hardy staple teleports into the 21st century, elsewhere devastatingly good afro-soul is sure to work those thighs, and wrapping things up we get an impossible to resist, sultry, cosmic jazz-funk workout like no other. another keeper on this fine label !

emotive tracks by two super producers who impressed cartulis day with their memorable sets. the collective invites tommy vicari jnr and anton zap once again, this time to showcase their music for the labels third release. tommy vicari jnr brings us a deeply playful side a track, well suited for those special after hours. anton zap names his track after crucifix lane, cartulis home for more than 5 years before it was forced to close earlier this year. he recreates that stomping ground atmosphere with this b track, sure to keep a dance floor pulsating during the peak of the night.

motor city. the home of hi-tek soul. or simply, the origin. just a few of the names with which to descibe a city in the heart of america that has the power to captivate ones imagination. in the early 20th century it revolutionized transport, ushered in an age of previously unknown mobility and became the automotive capital of the world. during the 60s it gave us motown, one of the most influential r&b and soul record labels to ever exist. and, before the turn of the millennium, it would bring forth another musical revolution: the one called techno music. to abstract division, the city of detroit and its artists are a major source of inspiration. as such, they decided their newest metropolis ep was to be an hommage, a means of giving back. this special package includes an original track that keeps close to the spirit of melodic, rhythmic, minimalism detroit is known for. it also features three very special remixes by close friends oscar mulero - under his trolley route alias (which he hasnt released music under since 2010) - function, who ups the darker ante and marcel fengler who infuses it with his trademark berlin funk.

london-based artist the room below follows 2014’s dba debut (as part of the 015.5 v/a release) with a mixture of classic and experimental house sounds. born in bristol, raised in dorset and residing in the capital, henry keen aka the room below has been djing and collecting vinyl for over 20 years. as soundspecies alongside his brother he was championed by gilles peterson’s worldwide show and london institution cdr. the alias ‘the room below” was coined to coincide with henry’s analogue re-working of close friend paul white’s ‘rapping with’ lp. since then he has maintained this alias for his house and techno composition. they pay homage to the legendary chicago and detroit artists that inspired him back in the 80’s and 90’s.

2016 repress! primary colours opens the vault to a reserve series. a limited edition vinyl cut on 10 wax that sees the echo inspectors collaborate with some of their favorite artists. bourne dub began its journey in melbourne australia with etui records boss, insect o, touring the great southern land and meeting up with the lads from echo inspectors. bourne dubs infancy began. many trips later between dresden and melbourne the track is here to be shared and played alike. for the remix it was only natural to enlist the magical touch of the mysterious silver ash. the signature sound is sprawled all over this reshape and we cant be happier and ensure you will be also.

on their 2013 debut album voyage, l.a. duo de lux introduced their singular sound, a fusion of post-punk, disco, funk and synth wizardry. fun though voyage was, described by the guardian as -intricate, witty, inventive, dazzling and by dj mag as fresh, immediate, for their follow-up, de lux felt compelled to add an element of social commentary to the mix.

wenn es um erfolg geht, scheinen dem mann keine grenzen gesetzt: calvin harris, vom forbes-magazin jüngst zum bestbezahlten britischen musiker und dj nummer eins weltweit gekürt, schwimmt derzeit auf einer unglaublichen erfolgswelle: mit seiner jüngsten single *summer* gelang ihm nicht nur der sechste nummer-eins-hit in großbritannien, auch in deutschland erreichte er einen neuen karriere-peak. der song erreichte in den media control charts platz drei (bisherige bestmarke: platz 13) und den deutschen airplay-chart sensationell platz neun (!).

bon voyage is an ever-shifting constellation of musicians led by paris-based producer and bass player adrien durand. durand was first spotted in 2009 by jamal moss, boss of renowned chicago label mathematics recordings, which released durand s solo effort (impersonnel naviguant) under the moniker les aéroplanes. that first record, done using a very academic house music setup consisting of an eight-track cassette recorder, a drum machine, a cheap analog synthesiser and an even cheaper sampler, caught the attention of such dj s as beautiful swimmer and toby tobias. for his bon voyage project, durand recruited drummer nicolas ballay and keyboard player/engineer maxime kosinetz. while opening for legendary italian dj daniele baldelli, the band caught the attention of chicken lips s steve kotey, who released bon voyage s first two records (sorciers des aéroports, l imposture) on stendec, a new imprint created for the occasion
