during the summer of 2012 before the rains came, the captain headed for the interior and in a lost valley far from the world of men he jammed with a tribe of initiates ... the valley people. the results were channelled via ether waves to ocean moon central aka the centre of sound where seahawks guided them to vinyl in their own sweet way. echoes of fern kinney on helium, nick nicely on mogadon, kraftwerk jamming in the jungle whilst aliens land their craft ready for a cosmic lounge party. listen out for ethereal soul sounds, island funk and dream wave ... ghost vibrations from beyond the reef where they dream of sliver rivers and sleep under the stars.

in 2011 jaki whitren & john cartwrights original international times lp saw a release on emotional rescue after originally hitting the shelves in 1982. the pair are now part of a remix ep by misericord and one-time internasjonal producer al usher, who supplies two remixes and a dub, while a spacey aphophenia dub to the track times has added for extra measure. ushers first rework of stay cool sounds like a 2013 meeting between a purple-clad prince and a young diana ross, while the dub version sees princes funk make way for giorgio moroder sound design. on the flip is a acoustic-leaning and inspirational this time, which could easily soundtrack a mesmeric highway-driving scene from thelma & louise.

coming correct from deep within the london scene, jonno & tommo consummate their production partnership with a return to ornate to delve further into the hypnotic, soulful end of the house spectrum. close the door stretches across the a-side of their new release, the tough demeanour of the drum-heavy intro giving way to a serene pad arrangement, setting the tone for a starlit workout bolstered by an infectious hook of dusty vocal and subtle sonic decoration that accentuates the groove. small stone represents a more reflective mood on the flip, steadily feeding in reams of rhythm and melody before fully blossoming into an equally seductive, bumping jam laced with a perfectly pitched acid line that nestles into the cosy confines of the track.secret weapon of the capitals underground house fraternity, miles sagnia steps up with a simmering remix of small stone that keeps the tension high and the textures roaming through a decidedly futuristic soundscape, while still retaining the ethereal tone of the original.

2014 repress! sven weisemann returns to telrae after his very successful elapse/ light sway with another stunning performance, showing he is a master of creating interactions of sounds perfectly embedded in space and time. elusion is like a sleeping day that awakes slowly, by the hour, in small steps it pulls itself up but then.. folds up as if there had never been the promise of a new day. >freund der familie< are hailed in berlin as one of the upcoming top talents and let us say this... they deserve the praise. their remix is an overgrowing wave of sounds that incorporates nice distortion and grows on you till you cannot do without it.this is a perfect flip side to sven weisemanns original, playing the game in a different way.

this ep on memento records sees alfonso leon take his production skills to the next level. vinyl compresors soulful melodies and tribal percussions are matched by a deliciously funky and luscious bass line, until acid synth stabs open the way to a low-pitched, creepy, almost manic dark vocal that crawls along the groove.
fabrizio maurizis unique taste resonates hugely in his remix: a computerised, robotic low frequency bounce underpins a loopy rework of the dreary vocal, bringing its more rhythmical and human elements to the fore, marrying them to the relentless beat. outstanding works, both tracks.

making a clean break with the poisonous digital dubstep rhythms in his first ep, dogboy’s basement to the attic is an fearless musical odyssey where the confines of this world end in intriguing organic sounds. in a way that wishmountain or burnt friedman would, dogboy scrutinizes the boundaries between experimentation and pure dance music. using recordings made in the different rooms of his family home, the four tracks on the ep start with laying down the subtitle emotional cool yet wobbly riddim card on the table, before gradually rising the subs and the pressure into a rave like burst of pride. futuristic, organic, progressive and utterly baffling, what makes basement to the attic so successful is it is purely unique.

after their hot contributions for treats vol. 2, session victim prove indeed that they are on the roll with a funkafied and no holds barred ep that pays homage to their hip-hop roots. move me so starts rather simply, with just a guitar and a vocal, but you can hear a moving bassline and distant rhodes chords creeping up from the background. two minutes into the track and theres still no kick drum, although the level of excitement produced by the magnetic groove is almost unbearable. a filtered drum break finally gives way to a four to the floor beat that should turn any dancefloor into a frenetic party. the track builds with high energy, as the pounding bassline seems to be directly lifted from an early 90s hip-hop classic. the breakdown sees the vocal/guitar loop being played differently until the second part shifts gear and brings more surprises in the mix with the intro rhodes chords coming in and out.

more than six years into his career after several eps and a full album, there isn’t much known about ben gibson, and he is clearly keeping it that way with intent. gibson first emerged on jeff mills’ experimental, influential 6277 sublabel but then again vanished into the ether, he only reappeared three years later on perc trax, even more surprisingly with a full-length. since then, he’s gone on to steadily more notice with perc’s imprint, sect records, and most recently m_rec ltd in spite of the continuing lack of information. exposure isn’t the most important thing for us at chronicle though, and after hearing these five tracks, we saw exactly what it is that drew mills to him from the beginning. it is a sound that we find a perfect fit for the techno futurism of our chronicle series, and here we offer a platform for gibsons more sci-fi, ethereal sounding material, exclusively on vinyl for the fifth edition of our sublabel.

h a ll o h a l os first release and it is 001 for revno records also ... off to good start we think! h a ll o h a l o is a stockholm based anglo swedish unit formed when jon dasilva (hacienda/rush hour/ellum/soma) met inventor and multi instrumentalist jonas nilsson in the first week in his new home, stockholm. apparently nilsson and dasilva became best friends sharing their more nuttier studio obsessions… here h a ll o h a l o serve up some killer italo - flavoured disco and deep house with the doubleheader tuff beat / yessir. this is electronic music of the highest order…muscular and inventive and, dare i say, very future…in a blade runner kind of way! which brings us neatly to the name, which, according to the pair, is a pretend title for a philip k dick novel. there is no pretending with the music though ... ace deep house - incoming!

no rest for the wicked, after launching oneoffs earlier this year and releasing our first ep with three fresh cuts from three talented producers we are back. each of the four cuts is a highlight in its own way, from the afro inspired house on size up with a superb herbie hancock tribute from crackazat on keyboards, to the slow and bass heavy techy i m the jack from will berridge on the a-side. the b-side starts off with jmxs thats the way, another exercise in dynamic house with punchy chord stabs, finishing things off is keumels feel-good disco surgery incisions roll california my way.

877 records join with longtime friends and collaborators to present the well rounded rebel alliance ep. klic and riskotheque lead the way with their track compton, a bass heavy anthem already rocking the clubs and doing damage on radio. stomping 808&#8242,,,,,s, sing along vocals and acid arpeggios join perfectly to form this instant classic. donga & blake more than do justice to the original with the compton give a dam jam remix. a perfect example of their sublimely considered approach, the reworking is an altogether deeper four to the floor roller using only finely selected elements from the original. well rounded in the house! next up is skeleton grin by donga & blake + richta. this original composition features vocals by donga over an intense and metallic techno-esque bass and kick. we are true believers in the power of a b-side and this is no exception.

londons powell works with opposites, in a way that is delightfully disconcerting. his tracks, on the surface, seem relatively uniform - but listen closer, or at punishing volume, and they teem with detail: wiry guitars, sinister yelps, synth figures that fizz like bubbles through sparkling water. across two eps in 2012 for his own diagonal label and one for death of rave in 2013, he has established himself as one of the uks most unique electronic musicians.

after recent successfull releases by tapesh & maximiljan, mark fanciulli and tom flynn the next dubby house groover is on its way. c-rock & patrick kunkel are waiting for nina.

chris spero (otherwise known as uk house and techno producer glimpse) and hypercolour co-founder and producer, alex jones, return once again as dense & pika to the hotflush fold with move your body back. having crept out of the shadows back in 2011 with a collection of white labels released through their own eponymous imprint, dense & pika went on to bolster their rising profile with the release of their hotflush debut (crispy duck) which landed late last year as well as with their memorable live set at hotflushs recent boiler room takeover. there is nothing chin-strokingly complicated or needlessly over-worked about their productions. they make interesting techno aimed at the dance floor and move your body back continues with this central aesthetic. the three track ep plunders percussive depths by way of stern machine rhythms, swollen low-end grit and the echoing, anthemic elements of warehouse rave techno. the title track of the ep may already be familiar to many having appeared on their resident advisor podcast in march and is already being played out by maya jane coles, boddika and adam beyer, amongst others.
