fumiya tanaka s double-tracker >beautiful town< was fully inspired by its cover artwork: a set of carefully selected old pictures with a layer of masterful signature paintings by romanian artist and fine-arts student bonjour bonsoir. a-sides >abacus avenue< is the ep’s most dense and eerie side. an addictive piece that utterly succeeds in sucking you right in like a vortex would. the locomotive bassline serves its purpose of movement in a strong loopy groove, while the pads and poltergeist y sounds reformat our heads with an inability for space-time tracking. the otherside of this town, >himegami marathon<, is another mysteriously intricate work. its a microcosm of grooves, sinister details and voices locked in a tight groove built on a single bass stab and a flowing, never-ending set of wet claps. a piano kicks in at key points, alongside percussive elements, reminding us that this town is alive.

everyones expression is unique, interesting and a collaborated product of lifes experiences, so is the music, the art and the vision. we carry this essence in everything that is techfui. our label brings family, friends and fresh talents together, and is built on a strong relationship around the people and their talents. we stay true to our roots, traditions and culture, always forward thinking and cutting edge.

tzinah on black continues its odyssey with a second installment, delivering on wax the sounds of - an emblematic artist for tzinah - dani casarano, an enigmatic whiz kid - silat beksi and a fresh & promising member to our crew - derek. on the a1 side, setnup embodies casaranos adventures through the hypnotic sound of minimal. stretching from the lowest frequencies all the way to an uplifting atmosphere, we have got a serious case of massive basslines and heavy beats. the b-side continues the story with >its all about feeling<, that displays a trademark arrangement of silat beksi, taking us on an euphoric trip with his percussion-rich signature sound. and because we love an authentic rhythm, derek brings on the b2 a crystal-clear ambience with his solid drums from >aphe soft<, as an after-hour mood and a pinch of minimal romanian sound was all that we needed to complete this release. so, make room in your bag for our second vinyl-only tzinah on black release! from tzinah, with love

nice price deal !!! after a year of silence, the mosso imprint returns with a new record charged with perfectly crafted percussions, hypnotic basses and the unmistakable mosso rhythms. 2014 was a calm and introspective year for alejandro, who spent the most part of it writing a soon to see the light album and a series of singles for 2015. ! the catalogue 006 is a blunt call to your feet and basic impulses. it awakens your deepest nomad nature and puts you in movement for the next adventure. ! the a side opens the record and immediately pushes you into the water flow of the dobagan river from where it takes its name. meandering melodies carried by rolling waves, so vigorous that it feels impossible to escape, driving you until the very end of the stream. a sound journey thru north argentinian landscapes. ! formosa on the b side, pulls you against the tide in a slower but not less seductive manner. a laid-back pace of precisely tailored congas opens up the way to a drifting pad filled with tension, slowly swallowing you into an unknown territory. it feels exotic and unexplored, yet so undeniably pleasant.

released by pizzico for the first time in 2009 with the moniker -erre-, marco antonio spaventi was one of the most pleasant surprises about what an excellent techno producer can do with his beloved background: italo disco. influenced by soundtrack masters as vangelis, john carpenter and most of all italian maestro s like nico fidenco, pino donaggio, francesco de masi, and appearing in the sky like a laser beam in a post-atomic bronx filmed by enzo g. castellari, the positive first album of ma spaventi called -viaggi- is landing. a real journey into obscure worlds, dirty streets, atomic sunsets, broken hearts and analog feelings, a blessing for your most romantic and cinematic essence. could this folding full length fit the modern dance floors? maybe it could be better for the outcast clubs of a near future: synths atmosphere are sweet and pressing at the same time, the melodies and beats fit together in a succession of deep emotions, the -tape- sounds old school and totally irresistible. pizzico is proud to present ma spaventi s viaggi: nine exclusive tracks for a brand new album, invoking and evoking dusty italo vibes, analog synths and written soundtracks for unwritten movies.

next up on titanic city, needs no introduction, nigel rogers aka perseus traxx has been a staple part on most record bags, a man dedicated to performance outside the box, has produced one of the greatest releases we will surely drop all year. some kind comments in our direction had to surly be returned with a request for a release and did he deliver. nigels first question was *what do you like* - *well we love your m>o>s, bunker, photic fields, snuff trax material*, he returned with a little bit of all. i am not gonna give the whole soaring pads, scraping percussive smears or the frenzied synth lines. this is perseus traxx he always delivers!! there is a rough and raw diy feel to this music that makes it jump out of the speakers and arrest your attention, as is always the case with titanic city.

the rawest, diy gospel ever resurrected. the west side of chicago was just an annex of the deep rural south for gene autry cash and his flock of recent old dominion transplants looking to cut their fiery, unadorned sounds indelibly to plastic. his jade label absorbed those god-fearing artists: family bands with wailing kids and barely amateur groups sourced from local parishes, infused with reverberations of country and western and deep soul. glinting authenticity shines from every track like a diamond in the unpolished rough—each group completely convinced that salvation comes through song.

there is almost a year that ortella released his first ep on rutilance recordings. the previous release -ruti005- was adored by the label s followers. that s why the french label now offers a logical continuation of the series -mad in lyon-. same atomic recipe. enjoy!

joe goddard just had to knock on that door. the wall of his recording studio had been pulsating with original analogue house jams for too long, dry ice practically sifting through the vents. behind that door was gentleman george t, and before long the two heads were nodding to obscure dat edits and 4th hand soul samples as george plundered a wealth of forgotten late 90s dats from of a box in the corner. true story. and now those dat edits, lovingly un-restored, are available for the first time on greco-roman, the record label, party and artist collective of whom hot chip s joe goddard is a founding member.

this second release on dialegestai is our homage to romanian minimal house and techno music. one track by a household name, the other by the equally talented - but still very unknown - vlad radu. in our humble opinion both tracks have a certain unique quality and vibe to them. the question minimal and trippy, the answer haunting and mysterious :) we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

some facts about duncan gray... he is a multi-instrumentalist tune smith... he has a label called tici taci... he was, along with our kid, one half of the criminally under-rated machine funk duo the sons of slough who produced an album of elastic electro (milk, milk, lemonade) and invented electro-bingo (two fat ladies... aux 88). he has recorded a cover version of robert calverts (ex-hawkwind) *lord of the hornets*... he has played space guitar on a number of my remixes (we like to call his sound pink wray). he has given me 4 tracks of low-slung sleazey loveliness to release on bird scarer...

following chicago s disco demolition night in 1979 the genre s popularity fell dramatically, hence fewer disco records being released.in this era chicago s djs such as hot mix 5, hardy, knuckles & jesse saunders played a variety of styles mixing in italo, electronic pop music, electro-funk and older disco joints often playing their own edits which focusing on the portions of the songs which always rocked the dancefloor. at the end of 1982, when dj frankie knuckles left the warehouse to open the power plant, ron hardy started to dj at the warehouse s new location until owner robert williams renamed it the music box. in 1984, a local label released a 12-inch single called -on and on- by locals jesse saunders & vince lawrence who had simple made the song in order to replace a record which had been stolen from saunders collection, the -on & on- bootleg disco megamix by mach. hence chicago house music was born and a modern day phenomenon followed.
