(180 gr vinyl incl. rmxs by pharaohs, cfcf & apiento) on vacation was hailed by many as one of the finest of 2016 so far. as ever we asked a few people we like to do some versions.

rediscovered 80’s british acid house gem ‘cortina kidz’ recently made a serious impact on andy butler’s mr. intl with remixes from factory floor and juan maclean & tim sweeney. hot on the heels, moscow’s lipelis’ steps in to remix with striking results. pitchfork enthused of the recent reissue being “a chilly acid-house track operating the influence of both soft cell and the specials,’ xlr8r as “drenched in dark and sleazy overtones, the track encapsulates a downtrodden time in london”, while ransom note noted “cortina kidz is more than just an old skool oddity- it s a banger that s stood the test of time”. originally recorded on london’s stoke newington road in 1987, produced by a young tim brinkhurst ahead of his imminent record deal with virgin records with his band soho, and long before his current role as manager of mercury prize winners, young fathers, ‘cortina kidz’ remained undiscovered and the eccentric spoken word overlay and weird lead vocal made it very unlike the prevailing dance music sound of the time. leonid lipelis explains that “since it’s a reissue of a relatively unknown record it gave me a certain freedom of expression (when it’s something well known and classic you re likely to produce something more serious). i came up with more of a pop song, structured with a vocoder for the main version and had fun playing with vocal samples for the dub mix, paying homage to the 80s sound in both.- lipelis’ recent release on lies records has gained him support from four tet to dimitri from paris. he also runs a side project for hardware jams called tmo and co-runs low budget family records.

(includes high-quality download in mp3, flac and more) the drain dissects in grandeur the human void, for which only codeine is the appropriate remedy. we are lucky that ignatz version of the great void is soothingly synonymous with the essence.

this is the second versions ii - it s again limited, no repress.

chilean born and berlin based dinky has forged a solid and illustrious career over the past decade. ‘casa’ announces her new album set for release on damian lazarus’s crosstown rebels this autumn, with remixes from axel boman and satori. a trained classical guitarist, singer and keyboard player that has held a dj residency at berlin’s infamous panorama bar since 2004, dinky’s sixth album, also titled ‘casa’ will be the first since the birth of her two children.’ dinky’s delicate vocal on ‘casa’ is both up-tempo and spacious, with infusions of acid, leftfield and electronica in its veins. axel boman delivers a stunning, emotive and epic nine and a half minute dub version, overlaid with spoken word samples referring to lost experiences. the swedish born producer is much-lauded for his releases on dj koze’s pampa, permanent vacation and his own imprint, studio barnhus, formed with kornel kovacs and petter of border community. while the hedonistic take from satori takes ‘casa’ up beyond the horizon. a future crosstown rebels artist, satori has released on 8bit, under your skin and bla bla records. ‘casa’ sees a return to form for dinky and a welcome return to the crosstown imprint, after previously releasing a single and a mix album for the pioneering label.

die mischung von dub und techno gibts ja schon eine weile. aber wie der gute jpatterson sie anrührt, erfüllt alle kriterien für das, was man gemeinhin als frisch und spannend bezeichnet. seine rustikalen grooves stehen für draufgängerische tanzbarkeit in waschechter prog-a-dub manier, der klang seiner trompete für eine gefühlsintesität, die es in der digitalen musikwelt so nicht gibt. das zentrale element von elevator ist aber die stimme - bzw. die ansteckende lässigkeit, die sie verbreitet. mit der dub version liefert uns jpatterson einen in rhythmus und melodie gebannten sommertag. es wird tatsächlich noch spannender, denn eine handverlesene meute aus dem acker-umfeld hat elevator geremixt. timboletti kommt im digitalrelease mit schleppend-bewusstseinserweiterndem afterhour groove. dole & kom gestalten das teil zur hintergründigen hymne um. und mollono.bass schafft in der stilistischen schnittmenge von dub version und original eine hochgradig tanzbare ryhthmuskulisse für die schwerelose trompete.

adjunct audio is proud to announce the release of the new apendics.shuffle album aware sequence found life. here we have the asfl limited 12inch album companion, this is a special release for the vinyl freaks!2 hard heavy hitting spaced-out dance floor gems touching space feat. kelly johnston on vocals & sunburned tears feat. kenneth james gibson himself on vocals. sender records boss benno blome remixes the albums intro dark outlines into a trippy vinyl-only late night slammer. also included is the albums outro piece which is a perfect ambient mix tool!

sound and rhythm are effective means of individuals self-defence in face of chaotic steamroller of everyday life. hiding in a familiar yet simultaneously hardly recognisable parallel space does not have to result from the need of escaping the world or nurturing one’s ego. too many times to mention, music appearing under recognition imprint served as a peculiar type of a vehicle of survival and a tool for internal transformation. hideland, new record by polish electronic music producer jacek sienkiewicz is released precisely year after drifting, which largely explored tropes of classical club techno sound. eight (nine in extended cd version) tracks comprising this album go beyond easy-to-pigeonhole genres, creating a microcosm of utopian sound constructs. surprisingly unobvious and precisely composed release could be fascinating both for loyal fans and for new listeners looking for threads of experimentalism. its another intriguing proposal in jacek sienkiewiczs growing discography, but above all - a laboratory where dreams and artistic visions metamorphose into concrete reality.

the original move your butty (1992) gained cult status and the time seems right for a re-release of this gem. it was originally out on the legendary london based irdial records. thee j johanz decided to replace samples with synths, which gave him the freedom to create a totally fresh and moody remix, good enough to keep our buttys moving for the next 20 years. the strings of the elka synthex give you wings, while the typical move your butty bassline is pumpin you up. expect the unexpected from prins thomas remix: very refreshing funky eighties electro vibes, or is it the sound of the future? an original approach with an oasis of move your butty references in the middle. an excellent remix of the remix

(incl. dl card & sticker collection) the tenth anniversary of the subs is the perfect moment to look back at their heritage with a decade of dance, a best-of-album containing 18 previously released tracks and one new single

droplets of synthesisers trickle down intermittently between tides of evenly paced kicks while a hollow bass-line plucks at the lower depths of house music.

the latest release on antonio zuza and ilija rudman s imogen label once again features the latter, celebrated croatian producer and also introduces andre espeut. a performer, songwriter and arranger born in london with west indian, african, french and spanish heritage, espeut was raised on a diet of musical goodness. house, rare groove, latin and disco among the musical styles that sunk into espeuts dna in his formative years, making him the perfect foil for rudman on this 12inch, in her eyes. alongside the slowed down vibe of the original version, uk house royalty charles webster gets the call to turn in a superb remix for the djs!

with the release of their last album “smoke” (2013) dapayk & padberg moved to a listening oriented direction, that also works perfectly off the dance floor. the new single “sink this ship” underlines their decision to follow this path in the future … maybe even with their upcoming album “harbour” later this year. on “sink this ship” eva padberg unfolds her matured voice, which shows more confidence than on previous records. dapayk skillfully puts her voice in a common scenery, where the straight beats are long over and where is space for extravagances and inventiveness. however, this is not a radical change turning away from the club sound. two of the most sought-after remixer artists at the moment, robot koch and bebetta, ensure the suitability for the dance floor. robot koch skillfully disassembles (for which he is known) the original. primarily he builds his version on the emotional base of eva’s vocal part and dapayk’s warm bass line. however, on the flip side, there is almost a contrasting change. the slight melancholy of the original track gives way for a typical bebetta techhouse beat, that flows through the club in a dreamy, yet simply irresistible manner.

nach zwei legendären alben auf trevor jacksons output recordings mitte der 00 er jahre und dem vinyl-only album many colours (2015) veröffentlicht der französische produzent marc nguyen tan aka colder nun zwei longplayer gleichzeitig. beide bestehen aus brandneuem material sowie überarbeiteten, unveröffentlichten songs der output-jahre und bestechen mit ihrer eiskalten, atmosphärischen melange aus cold wave, krautrock und post-punk, irgendwo zwischen chromatics, lcd soundsystem, liars und the horrors, mit einflüssen von neu! und can. goodbye ist mit seinen zackigen, synthetisierten gitarren und dynamischer elektronik ein groovegeladenes werk, während the rain mit eisigem ambiente und new wave-expressionismus experimenteller ausfällt.

forceful, industrial and acidic, kamera’s ‘consignia’, taken from his ep ‘ventoux’, arrives reworked by two producers each as uncompromising as the source material. truncate steps up to delivers a remix that further encapsulates his precise vision of deep, raw techno. choosing to boldly strip back the foundations of the original track, his powerful rework performs subtle but precise surgery, creating a tense masterpiece of sustain and release, enveloping the dancefloor in thunderous claps and jittering rave samples. meanwhile, the so far elusive yaleesa hall is tapped for an offbeat, dub version of consignia, twisting the track into something altogether darker and stranger. a muddied, dare we say filthy bassline supports a chaotic framework of unpredictable drum patterns and mechanized noise, while still maintaining a hallucinogenic groove as the track’s original elements gasp for air underneath.

all good things take time, aussteiger said once. and indeed, it took a serious amount of time to get everything set for what soon will be known as dub disco s first release! we’ve been digging deep inside his tune collection. not only to make sure that the first three-tracker is a belter, but that it also showcases exactly the kind of musical approach we wanted as our personal imprint: to hell with a boring and homogeneous release that only represents one genre! we were looking for something that stands for itself, something that tells a story, something that is representative for what the artist stands for in a musical sense. and after a tedious quest, we carefully curated something we think is dope! kicking off the number one is a track disclosing the joint forces of berlin-based collective of musicians los wawis and aussteiger s capabilities as a remixer. here appears a psychedelic version of the track, which is carried by gentle guitars, a dubby bassline as well as the funky-trippy synthesizers that usher a tropical vibe onto the dancefloors. the starter on the flip is entitled “heimat” and comes around as a melancholic interpretation of aussteiger’s time in exile, a period that enabled him to craft his very own style. there is not much to say about this bomb that the ear doesn t catch instantly: this one is an honest earworm, with it s irresistibly arranged horns and a pervasive and driving bassline. to finish everything off, we went for a nasty banger, that carefully blends different aspects of the raving side of dance music. the electrifying broken beat and it’s haunting bassline are blended with an intense influence of acid.

ep number four of this series of eight remastered tracks with remix-tributes to the techno legend christian morgenstern is here, and kicks off with d_funcs remix of steigreider on side a. creating a warm grayscale atmosphere, the track is carried by a heavy sub kick groove thats saturated with the modern industrial energy that proves kowalski’s skills as a techno craftsman. as a contrast, jeroen searchs remix of aces high on b1 is a more minimal interpretation, carried by a slowly developing beat and playing skillfully with the most recognisable elements of the original. the final track, a remastered version of morgensterns lydia to the edge of panic is a timeless classic, painting a morgenstern-typical distant and dream like landscape and opening up into a widescreen chord progression, with an epic build up.

this is the phase ii ep of leo anibaldi variations. after evocation ep with sebastian mullaert (minilogue) realized on cannibald records, for the a side leo has proposed markus henriksson (minilogue) to create a new version of (always from reality) a track coming from the album cannibald realized in 1992. for the b side leo has involved donato dozzy to create a new version of aeon fusion 1 (1994) wich is a very particular tracks for thoose years considered by the statistics as one of the key tracks before the advent of dub dark techno music. the project will be out 1st july on cannibald records strictly on vinyl.

“last days and time” is the third studio album by american r&b group earth, wind & fire, released in 1972, their debut album on columbia records. it was recorded at the legendary sunset sound studios in hollywood, california, with founder and multi-instrumentalist maurice white, verdine white and philip bailey. due to their live performances it cemented their status as the main funk band and set the stage for the band’s blockbuster breakthrough. songs on the album like “make it with you” (originally from bread) the pre-“brazilian rhyme” powerful funk sax style “power”, (which sounds like an early version of “serpentine fire”) and “remember the children” are excellent examples of the great songs and albums they have made during their career.

not too long ago a jiffy bag arrived at parkwest hq. in it was a scratched tdk case with a sa-x tape containing a musical message from years past, simply marked the tape i lost! we sat and listened, able to pinpoint influence and reference but yet hearing something totally new. that this tape surfaced and made it across the years and the miles to us was fortunate. when the synth part came through clear on a later version on the tape, allowing us to remix then it became destiny. emotion, melody and rhythm will always be timeless and these tracks, selected from that tape, are as relevant today as they ever were.

stone cold classic, although pastime paradise has been reissued a couple of time on compilations every single reissue has used the rocky lp version which is not nearly as good as the original 7inch cut. as we at athens of the north like to do things right we went back to the sony tape vault and had the 7- version transferred for the first time since the o.g 45 was cut. this 45 sounds fantastic, much stronger then the o.g 45 cut so its a no brainer. on the flip we took one of our favourite track from the lp and introduced it to 7inch for the first time, mambotango is a dreamy sountracky latin disco number i used to spin on warm up duty, very new york.
