ghosts/spirits is the result of many exorcism sessions, most of them performed unknowingly. the tracks are numbered based on their order of collection. ghosts are generally subtle and linger around more than spirits, which are said to go straight to your mind’s heart. whether you long for a naked dance in the forest, or a subaquatic journey through mermaids and sunken ships, you are welcome to indulge in our musical exorcism, in the name of the tribal forces which brought us rhythm, and the spiritual forces which brought us together. ah,… man

grammar of movement makes his long-awaited debut via lobster theremin’s main label. a shining light through a hazy prism that refracts a spectrum of techno from it’s tinted facets. a sound that shifts between sampled swamps of spoken-word lathered over crushed synths and carpet-covered drum excursions. a raw and cathartic output born out of a period of personal noise and pain.

the maghreban has been making dusty house music for a couple of years now and has put a few records out on his own imprint zoot and also on versatile records. some people have liked this. the maghreban found a bunch of old cassette tapes at his dads house. one said ‘alex july 84&#8242,,, on it. this tape was from alexandria, egypt in the summer of 1984. it had some interesting music recorded on it. the maghreban sampled a few of the tracks to make this one.

heard on “melancholia” are interpretations of honzo’s subconscious visions of life. the intense compositions are made up of drones, noises and distorted beats moving in and out of the frame. on opener “orientalism” said elements blend with hi-hat brushes, brassy synth pads, sci-fi noises and distant human voices evoking islam’s “adhan” (call to prayer). the theme contemplates over alienation caused by western accounts of “orientalism”, soaked in “hüzün” (the turkish term for melancholia). on a2 a rework of “moral masochism” is provided by the mysterious shadows outfit, starting with a distorted guitar over a slow and gritty rhythmic backbone which gradually turns into a chaotic high-intensity acid jam on the ep’s most dance floor suitable cut. on the flipside, “lovesickness” presents a broken kick rhythm periodically flipped by toms and accompanied by a disorienting hi-hat rhythm, ghostly strings and sporadic human moans – all resulting in a tribal mood, recalling a ceremony, perhaps a quest for a saviour from the blue temper? b2 presents the “moral masochism” original. again a distorted guitar plays over a slow rhythm, but compared to the remix, the original’s intensity is introverted, contemplating over melancholia’s effect of deriving gratification from self-inflicted moral humiliation. ambient closer “emptiness” explores a cold state with such an encapsulating airiness that it feels like a close account of another person’s mood down to the impression of their breath. arpeggiated synth noises appear from a distance representing increasing pressure from the outside world without ever suppressing the state of mind. as a result, “emptiness” sums up the state of melancholia experienced as a mood rather than the effect of a cause.

repress !! it s been said that the day unravels what the night has woven so that each morning, we hold in our hands a few fringes of the tapestry of a lived life. the act of remembering is more like forgetting. for it is only when a memory is recalled that the fragile and forgotten quality of memories are revealed. we go about life weaving fragments together, fragments of ourselves we find staring back at us as we remember conversations, smells and quality of light.

van bonn presents on his new ep pluto dedicated techno music with a dubby edge. every tune of the ep points and reflects a different situation of the night. the eponymous opener pluto delivers a powerful groove full of drive, massive chords and sirens to thrill the air. twisted elements spice the dubby elements that melt into a massive break. 2650 pleases with a forward driving groove and modulated chord stabs. the massive bass goes hand in hand with the overall positive vibe created by subtle shifts of the harmony to round off an evolving tune that points on the dancefloor. the two heroes brendon moeller and eric cloutier remixed van bonn s original mixes. it needs to be said that it is amazing to welcome these two artists on this ep with their fantastic reshapes. brendon moeller remixed pluto and presents a stripped down, groovy and dubby affair that fathoms the wideness and depths of the original mix. brendon moeller s remix proves again that less is sometimes more. techno dub at its best. eric cloutier s remix of 2650 rounds off the ep with a gentle and deep driving dub house vibe. it is presented in the stripped down eric cloutier sound . full of details and little changes does eric cloutier s remix tickle your eardrum that makes you long for the next neverending open air session. but don t forget to go home.

what can be said about this hasnt already? cited by many as one of the most influential chicago trax there ever was, especially those within techno circles unsurprisingly, computer madness set the stage for a new wave of demented club tracks along them like the gherkin jerks n aw that. you know the script by now. originally released on muzique in 89, the work that mutha fucka ep is a goddamn classic and thats all you need to know, if you didnt already. and guess what? you dont lug that ol beat-up copy around anymore. fresh artwork from the resurrected dance mania, and a full-blown sexy sleeve lookin sexy as a mutha...

not an animal return with their 2nd installment, this time from ess o ess (aka chris stoker and jamie blanco). their original offering, cantillate, isn t an easy beast to identify, being equal parts swamp-rock and techno. imagine you ve stumbled across an ephedrine and moonshine fueled rave in a deep louisiana bayoux in the year 3000, and you re close. add an out-there vocal refrain, and you ll start to appreciate why this is a particularly distinct record. relocate said rave to a some kind of space ship hitting hyperspace, with photon torpedoes fully armed, and you ll suddenly find yourself with the first remix, as created by ene records owner chida.

the first release is coming with 4 high-talented players: skymark, nas1, jose rico and gari romalis. each producer delivers something different on this debut ep, expect crispy acid sketches, running mpc sequences, synths unleashed and a jackin’ low end.

all instrumental immersion from visionary los angeles guitarist and songwriter.
the middle sister, released by leaving records, is an instrumental album by guy blakeslee, guitarist from entrance. side a is all acoustic, improvised guitar music. someone said it “sounds like john fahey and sandy bull with celestial nuance.” side b is all electric. its more-experimental – think can, terry riley, “noise rock.”
the vinyl release includes a download code.

almost no need to describe this one... some of the first recorded works of later drexciya member james stinson. one of the, until now, unaffordable holy grails of detroit techno.

two and a half minutes of drums rolling under a whirlwind of cranky guitars and vocals arguing from the bottom of a 1990’s boom box, that’s 51 black super. 11 tracks and 30 minutes to cross the usa, from california with pavement and weezer to ohio with guided by voices and the raspberries. 51 black super isnt a band to get lost on its way, or in futilities. written, composed, recorded in an emergency, with short and intense sessions, the debut album by 51 black super is made in the image of its creators: spontaneous and eager to get things out there. sounds like the strokes with less cocaine and more facial hair, said a californian rock critic after listening the two first few tracks.

who said that there is no techno in bavaria? not only the bavarian based label itself as a kind of lighthouse for the more energetic sounds deep in the bavarian heart is a proof, also the young and crazy dirty basscore is emerging from there with his very own, unique, freaked out, crazy, uncomprimising style. compared to his outlets so far this one might not be the craziest and freaked out stuff he did, but for sure this is a massive debut and introduction of his trademark and unlimited talent here on credo. perfectly timed and playable tunes with only one goal: working on the dancefloor! and as this wouldnt be enough we even top it with an excellent repaint by another bavarian techno-stallion. klaudia gawlas, who probably doesn t need any introduction, delivered a superb interpretation of the titletrack.

marshall applewhite has released some stellar sounds via yosucka!, htk, and detroit underground aswell as a number of releases under the name oktored. following up on his clan destine debut on the monumental *dark acid v*, marshall applewhite presents his first solo venture on said label, *advance beyond human*.

this double a-side from fantastic man and francis inferno orchestra is first in a series of cheeky off-shoots via the superconscious label.

zimbru is just one of the new additions to our label roster. focused on a more housy approach this outlet is looking for sounds that cross the boundaries between techno and house, collaborations between artist friends and nonetheless eternal dance music.
that being said zimbru debuts with a double tracker by sahau, the brainchild of dan andrei, kozo and paul agripa, entitled montreal ep.
side a is a pure house gem with breaks attitude, suitable for both night and day, indoor or outdoor. a new jersey influence can be clearly heard in those synths, hence probably the name nj breaks.
montreal, on side b, seems to be a different beast. with powerful swing and a catchy theme this track means business.

spherical collections of stars form around black holes in situ, that is, locally to their cosmic neighbourhoods. it is said that future space colonization will rely on sourcing supplies in situ. construction in situ uses raw materials at the site: colossal sculptures such as naqsh-e rustam, the leshan giant buddha and mount rushmore were built in this fashion. wild, organic machine grooves, with a mind’s eye on naked treetops and an early sunset. melody breathes out from dubwise fx, percussion by turns sinewy and floating, sub blasts and stripped synth arrangements. keys on air. spacious, witty, melancholic, deadly.

after a 2 year break paranoid london return to show the johnny come latelys how to do acid house. proper late night, bass driven machine music featuring the mysterious mulato pintado on vocals. we played this to our mate who said: >it aint clever, but it fuckin works!< the music is all analogue using two machines: 808 & 303! nice & simple. once again we press on 180g vinyl, no downloads, no cds, no promos! no bull shit! just some proper acid tracks done the right way!

deep dark industrial ambient. a slowly evolving soundscape with boiling buzzing sounds, resonating through the dark world.the berserk was perhaps one of the world s best fighters, which in old norse time sworn allegiance to the norse god odin. before a battle berserkers excited each other up and occurred in bearskin or wolf skin, hence the word berserk. in the beginning of the battle they performed exceptionally talented, indifferent battlers, but in close combat they fell into berserk. then they howled like wild beasts, probably to frighten the enemy and incite their comrades and themselves, and then get into rages. a berserk in battle were said not to bother about any injuries, and was therefore until the enemy, or they died.

proper destroyer, is what somebody said and its probably the best description youll hear for this new syncom data release. syncom data teams up with finnish/dutch vocalist saara soini for rumpukone. inspired by me and my rhythm box from the 1982 film liquid sky, saara soini delivers a powerful vocal performance on razorsharp beats and acidic textures by syncom data.

joy divisions *substance* album, re-released on 180 gram double vinyl. replicating original album artwork, cut from the 2010 +- audio remasters. includes 2 additional tracke: as you said & love will tear us apart (pennine version).

well cut records return with another deluxe vinyl release with dubble d presenting under his irrepressable moodymanc monniker. side a opens with comfort me, a deep and gritty sounding soulful jam, followed by a retouch of war and peace, a deep and dirty disco dance floor monster which has done serious damage in the past. luke solomun opens side b with his love and death re-make, toughening up the drums and adding some analogue twists to take the energy levels up to the point of frenzy! the record closes with hashtag, a no nonsense, tough chicago inspired groove which plays backdrop to a conversation between snoop dog and g unit about the music game today which we thought said a lot about the state of play in house music today! a beatapella is an addition to the digital version of the release for those djs who want to get more creative with the message!

another day , first track of the ep, starts with some radical percussion based house that leads to a gliding deep base, underlined by vocals. in collaboration with gallya on she said , the duo takes it to the deeper level and combines spheric sounding percussion with gliding mallet notes which distinguish the track. afterhour straightness that involves all leftovers to move. last but not least, simone vitullo adds an arpeggiated techhouse-version of another day to the ep. a dark sub surrounded by minimalistic hats and strict but heavy beats bring down the sound of an great acidic house work. definitely an ep to play at dark and dusty hours.

since 2010, jackie house aka jacob sperber has been driving the a&r side of the san francisco dance-music troupe running the hnytrx label and producing remixes with other members under the honey name. putting label duties on hold in 2013 sperber cocooned into his music studio, entering as a brave brunette and exiting as an ambitious blonde. * stydive * is jackie s debut to wax and has as much house-party in it as it does warehouse 4am. with a vocal sample nod to punk s past, * stydive* pogo dances to dusty and stuttering live/analog drum rhythms and skips along a rude and infectious bass-line. bound to find lovers of all persuasions for its dub-esque qualities, instantly recognizable hook, and open relationship with house music, this tune begged to have it s own side. that said, there is always room for some matrixxman who takes stydive to a strobe lit south of market darkroom in his remix on the b. spurting erotic lazers around a cavernous kick, this tune finishes off even the most experienced edger.

one of detroit’s most relevant names in modern techno “terrence dixon” joins the modularz roster of producers with his debut ep that features both his terrence dixon name and his alias population one on the same ep. terrence dixon submitted this ep to modularz a couple months back and said to us that he had something special for the modularz label - with the intention of releasing a well balanced ep with deep grooves, stripped down rawness and funky hypno rhythms we felt this would be a great addition to our catalog. we are very pleased to present this release and continue to show our range and our diversity in the techno genre

chaka khan, born yvette marie stevens, is an american singer-songwriter whose career has spanned four decades, beginning in the 1970s as the frontwoman and focal point of the funk band rufus. often dubbed the queen of funk, khan has won ten grammys and has sold an estimated 70 million records worldwide.
*what cha gonna do for me* (1980) is arguably the best effort of the partnership with arif mardin. slowly but surely the two began to craft an even more successful and innovative sound. the album peaked at #3 in the r&b albums chart of 1981.
the cover of *we can work it out* gets a brash and funky stevie wonder –style arrangement, with gregory phillanganes doing great synth work. the best song here, *i know you, i live you*, displays brilliant bass and drum.

”love will remember pharaon de winter” is said at the end of the record. pharaon de winter was a painter from north of france, who lived from the end of the xixth century to the beginning of the xxth century. today, pharaon de winter is reappearing again. it’s a band, but also the name of a song, which changed everything for his author. past leader of both bands toy fight and (please), maxime chamoux was playing since now a genre between north american rock of spoon and neutral milk hotel, and sophisticated british pop from prefab sprout or xtc. we find today in this new project songs navigating between french, for most part, and english. partners and friends since a long time, thomas pirot at the drums and raphael ankierman at the bass are playing alongside fx guéant-mata at the guitar. we also find mina tindle and her delicate voice appearing here and there. at last we don’t forget the goldsmith’s talent of canadian musician sandro perri who’s joining the band, highly recommended by pitchfork magazine with his album impossible spaces in 2011.

matt karmil is one of the most favorite newcomer for us. after we have listened his debut track reverse peephole,we are overwhelming. we said masters at work meets ibiza, fight on a side is unique merodic raw house and kiss and make up is more uplifting but sweet techno house track. if you like the production of dj koze,you will love this release.

deep disco warrior the revenge turns in an epic hypnotic mix of slow burning house nailed down by analogue bass and acid. using a filtered vocal it builds slowly as the bottom end is tweeked towards a mesmeric journey through minimal wigged out disco. sleazy mcqueen and romano arcaini turn in a disco inflected house mix with congas, spaces out synths and enough dynamics to keep any dancefloor bubbling. it builds with added percussion and a filtered pad before the lead hits the break and the track comes back in with even more wallop. drug empire is an original off the album and has had support from the likes of rune lindbaek, crazy p’s hot toddy and horse meat disco. said to be inspired by theo parrish’s productions it’s a delicious slice of bass driven deep disco with a nod to the looser end of detroit and chicago. it’s all about the fully locked in three note analogue moog bass which holds down the grooved out drums before breaking to jazzy rhodes at the end. one for the heads.

machines will fail us: those are the unsettling first words of this much expected new episode of the polar inertia odyssey. starting with this ode to machinery, the tale plunges suddenly in a stark apocalyptic scenario. along the 3:14? of the track kinematic optics, this mysterious polar inertia eventually begins to materialize and reveal more of its true essence. same might be said about this double ep, consisting of almost 75 minutes of music.

it is our pleasure to welcome triptil to aku001 with the official release of his micro, minimal, techno ep. triptil embodies romania’s emerging talent, and he enraptured us with innovative track production and top-tier dj’ing. we are now excited to embark on this adventure with triptil, and the record’s associated artwork is an additional sensory indulgence for hungry ears and eager eyes. gloved in a sleeve screen-printed by hand, the center of the vinyl is made of copper. information related to the release has been engraved in the copper. that said, there are only 300 copies, limited to one copy per customer. a scarce treasure for a rare talent.
