art-aud is back to present his second release of the main series, after booming with the secret rave one. this release comes from a really important icon in the italian electronic-techno scene, a person that from the beginning of the 90s helped form what we enjoy now through his music, parties and writings. his name is andrea benedetti, aka sprawl. over the years he provided help to lory d in creating sounds never seen, founded his label plasmek, created a fanzine called tunnel and a distribution company with marco passarani, to name a few. this ep contains three tracks of pure electronic excursion and a remix by the rephlex-twins darcangelo. the track electrome was originally released in 1994 on his own label and now, after nearly 23 years, sees the light again with a remaster

first installment from the new mexican vinyl only label art in u. tracks by roberto martin & pablo marco, remixes by javier carballo and cumsecade aka vid,

ch seinem hochgelobten album -undertow-, auf ihrem eigenen imprint lower floor music, veröffentlicht das detroiter post-industrial/noise-trio wolf eyes nun eine limitierte 12inch mit zwei neuen instrumentaltracks. diese sind in ihrer art epischer, dubbiger und reduzierter als die albumtracks, getragen von einer signifikanten elektronischen unterströmung unter der tropischen ambience, die auch die jüngsten liveshows von wolf eyes - im gegensatz zu der dichten intensität des letzten albums - kennzeichnen.

mit ihrem neuen album besinnen sich die britischen synth-pop-legenden 2017 auf ihre ursprünge und geben sich so experimentierfreudig wie schon lange nicht mehr.

hidden fire from the ra archives! a double 10” set featuring sun ra recordings from the outer limits and the underground. initially released on2 seperate 10-s back in 2010/13 respectively and both quickly became collectors items. don t miss them this time around...tip! . volume 1 features ‘along came ra’, was a previously unissued live track recorded in paris in 1983. with june tyson in full voice, the arkestra announce sun ra’s arrival on a sleeping planet. the flip features two previously unreleased cuts from the legendary disco 3000 concert tapes, a mind-blowing quartet session that releases the full power of sun ra’s crumar mainman synth. volume 2 lifts three fine selections from the ultra-deep sub-underground series of saturn lps. the transcendent ballad ‘love is for always’ and the driving, rootsy ‘the world of africa’ come from 1974’s live at temple u, while the myth-science poetics of ‘space is the place/we roam the cosmos’ is beamed down to earth from the 1975 what’s new set.

it has been eleven long years since urbs dropped his last album which was called “toujours le meme film”. back then, the musician, dj and producer created the soundtrack to a fictitious film noir, which was released on kruder & dorfmeister‘s g-stone label, but after touring europe he almost completely retreated from public life. he does not consider his creativity as being his career, but rather as a part of his life which rarely is subject to concrete planning, and that is why urbs quite consciously took his time to create his latest –untitledalbum.

2 years ago, we celebrated our 10 years with 5 anniversary eps entitled 10 by ten, where we asked 10 of our favorite artists to write an exclusive track for the occasion. two of the stand out tracks were martin iveson - aka atjazz - leave me here as well as art of tones, koniokola, which we thought deserved a second life. freerange and delusions of grandeur boss, jimpster, blesses us with his deep yet driving rendition of leave me here, while fred everything chooses to update koniokola with a more dance floor approach and a strip down dub. we also included the original of leave me here which was never available on vinyl.

copenhagens music for dreams comes with yet another strong release - a double album of personal favourites compiled by jan schulte. according to all maps and witness accounts, germany does not officially have any tropical forests. this is of no concern to schulte however, who has unearthed many stunning examples of tropical drum music recorded there. perhaps the number of botanical gardens and palm houses in germany confused musicians into mistaking the climate, or maybe it was just a happy blend of escapism and multi-cultural integration within musical scenes that spawned such a curious output of undefinable tribal folk jazz. most of the tracks picked by schulte were released on small labels in the late 80 s. the musicians involved were mainly traditionally schooled, born and raised in germany. at that time to be interested in foreign folk music might have seemed a gimmick to some, what with the emerging -world music boom- already snowballing into the mainstream. but these songs, while they may be based on musical traditions from foreign lands, deal much more with introspection than exploitation. schulte himself points to his -general fascination for music that describes places where the artists have never been. songs about the jungle or the rainforest made by people that know the rainforest only from television and books. somehow i think you can hear their mythical imagination and fantasy in those tracks,- he explains....

‘this is my chance’ lay dormant until the 90s, when it was included on the ace cd “the heart of southern soul vol 3”. that series was aimed at ballad fans but art gentry’s mid-tempo gem proved ideal for the modern soul dance scene. a 12-inch promo issued at the time is now an in-demand piece of vinyl. mystery surrounds who wrote shirley brown’s ‘even if the signs are wrong’ but this splendid, lilting soul song deserves a vinyl release.

nice price deal !!! klakson welcomes art bleek ! this paris based producer/musician already released some nice quality house music on labels like connaisseur recordings but is also know for his more jazz orientated projects, playing live sax and piano! this ep brings you 3 beautifull, deep and soulfull tracks with a nice distinctive drive

a strange confluence of sound that sounds part krautrock synth label brain records, part hyperdub. techno haze and synth wormholes with spectacular sound design that has banged at berghain and soundtracked winter night drives. greenspan is known mainly for his work with junior boys and jessy lanza and taraval is a longtime touring member of caribou, but both have released several 12” and eps of electronic exploration over the past few years. inspired by synthesizer minimalists like jd emmanuel, cluster and john carpenter, the two attempted to create a type of dance music with hardware that was indebted to their influences but did not feel intrinsically retrogressive. the idea was to make a type of raw synthesizer and drum machine music that could be listened to beside the hypermodern techno of pearson sound or actress. the cover art is a tribute to a mysterious mural that looms over the hamilton ontario area where the album was recorded. each of the five tracks on the ep were edited down from much longer recording jams which were done with hardware sequencers in real time. the recording was done completely off the floor with no overdubs or added material after the fact.

medical records in collaboration with our friends at crispy nuggets blog are happy to reissue a very obscure australian gem from the 1980s. ironing music were a three piece band from brisbane. they originally formed in 1984 as a result of their collective love for new order, human league and eventually jean michel jarre and cabaret voltaire. comprised of bass and electic guitar, yamaha dx-7, melodica and an 808, they recorded a 12- single as their sole outpt in 1985 in a limited run of 250 copies (obviously excruciatingly rare now!). it was recorded in their bedroom studio with at teac 4 track. the video clip for the -hit- shopping bag women was played on several national and local television music shows. they also recorded demos in hopes of landing a lp deal which unfortunately didn t attract any takers at the time. they actually only played 3 gigs and were forced to disband after one of their members fell ill in 1986. the lp presented here included the original 4 track single as well as hand picked demos which nicely congeal to form a well rounded lp documenting the band s brief existence. they can best be described as lo-fi synth pop with an emphasis on excellent pop songs and interesting synth/instrument arrangements. the first track shopping bag women is infectiously catchy and just screams to be worn out in the club. fans of early to mid 80s synth pop and new romantic will fall in love. the tracks have been lovingly remastered by martin bowes at the cage, london. features original reproduction of the front cover painting. presented in a limited edition on 180gram vinyl.

sampling as an art is a concept: taking samples away from their origins forward something new, emotional or even funny. -le grand détrounement- was a movie made in the 90 s by great actors of french media -canal+-. it took several 50>80 s movies with classical american actors, cutting them and redubbing to make a big funny story. s3a records is delighted to welcome a new french artist, who wanted to make the same on his music with this project. s3a rec is very excited to present 6 tracks ep between minimal sampled house music and dirty hip hop!

ivanlatyshev is a record producer and dj with more than 10-years experience, having grown up in russias cultural epicentre of st petersburg. developing a love for deep house, the young producer has been releasing his perfectly-realised club tunes on labels such as toolroom, and now provides us with a second outing on dessous recordings. the art of flying ep presents two original tracks and a pair of remixes of the lead cut. the original art of flying is quite a statement a jazzy, swingy beat introduces the track, before solidifying around punchy 4/4 groove. restless synths drift in and out resulting in a track that is both exceptionally funky and deeply wonky - topped off with a killer spoken word vocal. the ever-dependable eddie fowlkes steps up on remix duties and supplies a more jacking interpretation, adding a filthy bassline on his fly mix. the same track also gets a crazy dub rework which expands the space within the track and strips it down for maximum club effect.

toydrum are a duo who sneak into the consciousness. not for them the full frontal assault but, instead, a drip-feed of classy work that many may know without knowing. their hugely acclaimed work with the late singer-songwriter gavin clark lit up shane meadows’ ‘this is england ‘90’, their rework of john lennon’s ‘how do you sleep’ led noel gallagher to have them remix his high flying birds hit ‘in the heat of the moment’ (which, in turn, soundtracked last year’s epic ad for the latest ‘assassin’s creed’ game), and their soundtracks for films such as the recent tye sheridan-starring thriller ‘detour’ and alice lowe’s 2016 venice film festival opener, ‘prevenge’, have broadened their appeal further. toydrum’s signing to skint records is now announced and celebrated by ‘my eye on you (to reinvision)’, a collective interpretation of their work thus far, running the gamut from nick cave’s balladry to trentemøller’s drum & bass-tinted electronica.

in its five years dgtl has carved its style and sound worldwide as one of amsterdams staple dance music institutions. this year the organisation is deepening its focus and vision. therefore dgtl is launching its own imprint dgtl records. the label builds on the festivals musical theme of an evocative cross section of the sounds and styles showcasing forward thinking, cutting edge artists. the one to kick off the new imprint will be the bulgarian hardware wizard kink. best known for his live performances, teemed with explosive energy, which for a consecutive year puts him to the no.1 spot of live acts on ra poll, he is also one of houses most in demand producers. kink has worked with dgtl for quite some time, including last years audiovisual installation transmission tower, where the first track neutrino was born. the melodic neutrino , kicks off with syncopating bassline. its interconnecting layers organically jump over and under each other, reflecting the organic character of kinks live performances, where every knob touch and turn matters. on the latter, he built the b-sider dynamo: i loaded my favourite element from neutrino in my computer and i tweaked the sound through various weird devices in my studio, till it sounded like a completely new track. as usual, he added a few endless loops on the record, for the adventurous djs, exclusively for the 12inch. the idea for the dgtl records artwork is to feature a different visual/graphic artist from the dgtl art program every year starting with the cover from tim buiting and his graphical visual of the liege train station, designed by calatrava for this years releases.

dance fiction is a little bit more than just a various artists ep. anaxander, quell, kresy and klaaar team up for a truly house music records. this house music record, made for the floor, is the result of the friendship between the art feast crüe and artists that have played at our endless parties in our beloved city of lyon. long nights, eating some of the finest local food, dancing, drinking, and having a good time together. this is what we call dance fiction, a simple story of friendship and love of dance music

in the early 1980s, nigerian was booming and recording studios used the oil money sloshing around to fit their studios with the latest state-of-the-art recording equipment. with the equipment came a new, slicker sound and a new breed of producers like lemmy jackson, jake sollo, tony okoroji and nkono teles who became bigger stars than the musicians they recorded. such was the fate of sony enang with don’t stop that music

cd included in the vinyl has the same tracklist. a relentless vinyl collector and a fervent connoisseur of anglo-american culture, the founding painter of the figuration libre movement (with di rosa, blanchart and boisrond) in the early 80s, robert combas has always connected his art with rock music. the two are always intertwined and fuel his inspiration. during his exhibition sans filet, robert combas made an essential encounter: the artist and video maker lucas mancione, also from the town of sete, and decided to make the leap. together, at the start of the decade, they created the band les sans pattes. notre renaissance is a dazzling discharge, a geyser of cold and searing emotions, a conscious search for a unique and extreme experience. the tension in each track is palpable, as constant as it is pregnant. this band is full of character. sometimes electronic, often a bit punk, always particularly rock n roll. raw and physical tracks, compact and heady. les sans pattes always lean towards psychedelics and repetition.

highly recommended!! parassela is the live and studio project of the analogue cops and blawan. they are back on restoration record with the “flunkey” e.p., an explosive 4 tracker of massive hardware jams. uptempo beats, heavy basses, suspicious noises, obnoxious analogue pads. raw-fi techno at its state of the art, helically scanned with no hesitation to 12.7 mm. magnetic bands.
