the environmental radiation dose on the moon ep is the first collaboration between zooloft and aconito records. the two labels are twinned in exploring the limits of techno, experimenting with structures and sequences and ultimately arriving at the place where the deep and dark sublimes. the ep opens with the child that was watching the moon a track lifted right out of the drone-techno hymnal. it starts with muddied, subterranean bass and builds not just outwards but inwards. filled with obtuse references and metallic rasps the atmosphere created is obscure and spectral. on the reverse the moon that was watching the child sounds like its been exposed to radiation. the sounds are distorted, as if created from samples of the genome unzipping. the arrangement is stunning, bells filter in and out and the layers smelt into one another. there is awe at work here, but its an awe that remains underpinned by terror. this release, mastered in berlin at the legendary calyx studio, is something of a record collectors dream. it will be released on solid silver vinyl in a very limited edition of just 200 copies. za000ltd should be enjoyed on wax, this wont be available digitally.

detroits eric johnston who has already brought archipel a remix of marc neyen and an ep on kalimari now brings us a superb four track 12 inch entitled >silly girl<. this whole package is a highly rhythmic affair which while darkly tinted remains very funky. >stop calling me< is the most percussion oriented of the pieces and instantly sucks you into its very well thought out labyrinth of sky high rhythms which are layered just so and double dipped in liquid funk while >labrador< strips things down a little more and wraps you in blankets of warm and rubbery groove. >worth it< carries on with the perfect shuffle and utilizes a wonderful blend of warmth and funk which take hold of your mind and feet with an unrelenting grip while it ebbs and flows, building a heated story as it progresses. >munted< could be three pieces in and of itself but blends them all expertly into one single solid storyline which takes you through mazes of juicy percussion and excellently placed, darkly hued, very deep chords.

more deep and moody grooves from mike grants label. greg stadford is behind the monkier black art who’s previous production credits have included mixes of blake baxters seminal deep n da groove ep. nice and jazzy the favourite cut is just groovin a wicked blend of st germain keys and funky organ riffs, over some skippy detroit drums. dig this is a mellow late night journey of psychedelic horns and guitar licks with dreamy pianos floating over the top. ‘sweet’ is more on a broken jazz tip with live drums and a cute vocal snip that dubs itself over the rhodes bed. the production quality of this ep is stunning. very strong stuff from m & g!

after 2 very remarkable releases, the french label pilbus records is back on the offensive with this ep highlighting another label team member : macsim ganczarczyk. macsims minimal style is clearly represented in his part one original mix, decorated with dark tones mixed with cavernous atmosphere, and rolling around a heavy bass filling entirely the soundspace. you can feel the same darkness in the second track of this part one ep: a remix made by the probably most well known argentinian producer: franco cinelli, who shows his talent by completely changing the style of the original mix.

slamming groovin four track techno vinyl, very useful

james holden may not be a household name, but to fans of adventurous, progressive electronic sounds, the british techno sorcerer and psychedelic shaman is renowned as a genius. so revered are his talents that he has been tapped to remix some of pop music most eminent stars, including madonna, depeche mode, & britney spears, though as this mix demonstrates, his tastes tend more to the cerebral than those associations suggest. head of the zeitgeist-defining label border community which boasts fellow forward thinkers nathan fake & extrawelt on its roster, holden can count himself amongst that very modern breed of dj with a special knack for layering the most surprising of records with an unparalleled musical ear. his status as a free-spirit unconstrained by genre or scene is now championed by independent stalwart !k7, who have called up holden to deliver the next installment in their definitive mix series dj-kicks. holdens masterfully eclectic mix includes the first solo holden single in four years >triangle folds<, and his exclusive previously unreleased remix of mogwais >the sun smells too loud<.

big with mihalis safras, piemont, afrilounge, phonique, someone else, anthony collins, stephan bodzin!! slim, sporty and very casual- thats the way in which current number 18 on acker records sneaks into listeners ears and hereby wonderfully illustrates the much longed for beginning of the open air season in europe. other than the name justin side implies, its even two dudes from denmark who conjure up this unusual voodoo. bedded on a gently shaking groove and larded with tropical warm percussion and lots of vocals, the magic takes effect immediately but still unobtrusively. beside the original mix, the groove of the a-side includes a minimal club mix by mister mollono.bass that creates rather nightly associations in its straightforward manner. on the flipside he pulls out some other stops of his sound repertoire and calls the sunbathed result very appropriately his summer mix. last but not least the unmistakable, humorous organ sounds of rundfunk3000 represent the unique, local mecklenburg version of a mighty voodoo magic.

roberto bosco is becoming a household name these days in electronic music. he burst on to the scene with a remix of juan atkins classic >game one< in 2007 on orlando voorns nightvision records. since then, hes gone on to get praise from françois k, who has regarded robertos music as having an effortless quality. an almost dazzling sense of ease that masks a very strong foundation. a depth and musical maturity that belies his young age. this penned him to his >my universe< ep release on wave music earlier this year. now, mr. bosco has outdone himself with this 2 tracker ep release for minimalsoul recordings. simply put, its a timeless journey into the new sound of electronic music as we know it today. >biosphere ep< is a diamond in the rough and a positive input to quality underground electronic music!

supported by piemont, marco carola, chris liebing, danny tenaglia, deepchild, orde meikle / soma, igor tchkotoua (pig and dan),philip sherburne, derek plaslaiko, leo leal, axel bartsch, toni d!! this is something of a departure for our label, and one were very proud of. &#8232,,,we are happy to say jules made these 4 outstanding tracks with a lot of soul and passion. a lot of influences have lead to the making of these tracks. his uncle has a recording studio near frankfurt where jules spend endless hours, before he started to play in a soul band at the age of 13! his career as a drummer lead to a final show in berlin in the >tempodrome club< and there would be more to add, but let the music speak for itself..

steve summers is back with his third ep, this time around for greeces echovolt label. summers continues to play with his main inspirations, the energy and grit of hardy tape edits, melodies of larry heard, and deep bass tones of william s. this four track ep manages to capture a feeling of experimentation and authenticity thats often missing in modern dance music. strong 12 with timeless chicago house tracks! very cool!

brand new melleefresh release on a very limited >candy< picture disc from play records.

dave lees excellent better days label with another 4 killer disco edits with very interesting names.

one of the rare new terrence dixon releases... this time on the nice meakusma. the two original tracks are two deep space jams with and from a detroit mindset, the remixes on the flipside by upperground orchestra take the >room 310< track into deep jazz territory. cosmic insanity! very much recommended!

here comes edwards follow-up ep. this time he goes a slightly deeper and more direct. it might be the purest music we ve ever heard from the berlin-based producer. all the crazy clubgigs are manifested into hi music now. of course still with the classical edward style somewhere between dark minimal and trancy deephouse aesthetics. >bush of crows< is somewhat of a siginature edward track. but a very rough one this time. with a comfortable paranoia, this track unfolds itself into a little peak time extravaganza. on the flip, he cools everything down with a warm house tune called >the ghetto< and he adds a certain >blockparty romantic< to it... b2. is once again one of those more minimal edward tracks were he masters to be on point with just the core essence o sounds. edward remains a real romantic for sure...

this is a well-rounded compilation of material from various plan b recordings artists. up first is dakini9s remix of >swine<, a track originally made by spider & lola. this is a deep, minimal techno track, with squealing pigs and industrial sounds which were recorded in pig slaughter houses and have been layered throughout the track. second up is courages >mildred< track. this is one of those tracks that just makes you want to dance, period. this is from his >feast or famine ep<, which will be coming out later this year. the third track is from detroits very own bileebob (underground resistance, detroit grand pubahs), who teams up with his agriculture partner, marshallito. here we have an amazing array of driving drumbeats and chaotic synth work that blends perfectly together for an infectious, grooving dance floor banger! the final track is from dj spider: a deep house track, with a funky bass line, nice synth work and a good driving beat. this house track completes the compilation and also gives you a taste of the diversity of this labels sound.

tornado wallace is the alter ego of a certain mr lewie day, hailing from melbourne and having recently started making great waves following excellent releases on murmur, 8bit and herzlich. tornado wallace pushes down the deeper, detroit-inspired route which is why he approached us here at delusions with these very special tracks.

duijn & douglas return to nowar for their second release >quiche l hik<, this time teaming up with vocalist berenice, and anonym on remix duty on the flipside. >quiche l hik< is a solid dancefloor work-out that will get you hooked from the very first beat. the rolling bassline simply sucks you into a hipshaking groove, funked up by tight oldksool tush-moving hihats. the whole thing builds up to berenices warm and sexy vocals and a most funky chord progression that will glue you to the dancefloor. this cut is a full body and soul work-out! on the flipside detroits anonym pushes it into a more throbbing affair. raw, stripped to its sexiest parts and with slightly warped chords, the remix is a sweaty and sultry groover, mentally gripping, simply good ol fashioned house! this release perfectly reflects what nowar is about, deep and raw house music.

urgent, throbbing rhythms, which almost imperceptibly increase into a subtle wall of sound: the tracks on todd bodines new ep develop a hypnotic character, stolen away into a dark pulsating sound field which exactly match the title of the a-side: >dark matter<. the increasingly dense electric field mixes with sparse siren sounds that create their own unique attraction. the same qualities infuse >space and stop< on the b-side, with equally unexpected musical power surges. these are tracks that will drag the dance floor abruptly from its spell in the first few seconds, while simultaneously adding a very special drive and intensity. all in all, todd bodine proves again with his new ep - the first release after his highly successful album, >forms< – his unique sense of style, gained over almost ten years of production experience.

after the great mojuba g.o.d.2 by chez damier it is time for some oracy action, its been a while since we heard from the creator of such classics as family day and mind dance. but now after doing a very fine remix for balance alliance in the meantime, he is back in full effect. the a-side bass mood is featuring a disco break styled beat combined with a sick acid bassline à a special track for that special moment on the floor! the b-side with funk advice is cooling things a little down, but in a way only a mojuba record can do it - some serious deepness is waiting for you!

dj davis (freak n chic) starts the label debut of the famous brazilian club d-edge. including remixes of pete herbert, r.sen (padded cell) & wagon cookin. very limited stock
