vermillion lands with an inter-stellar remix package. french techno connoisseur agoria leads us on a minimal, spaced out trip through shining synths and swift vocal echoes. acclaimed house maverick and hot creations head honcho jamie jones has been closing his dj sets for the last few weeks with his own remix. its bouncing, old school house tip bounding beneath bright gospel turns of phrase, approaching near classic status with arms aloft receptions on the dancefloor. and finally berlin’s deniz kurtel, who pulls her penchant for polyrhythmic percussion to the fore, casting sweet tribal grooves across an original surely destined to become a dancefloor anthem this summer.

fünf jahre ist es her, dass audio88 & yassin mit ihrem lofi-debüt zwei herrengedeck, bitte in einer szene aufschlugen, die nicht unbedingt auf sie gewartet hatte und die sie sich nie ausgesucht hatten. den übrigen deutschen hip hop finden die beiden in berlin lebenden rapper überwiegend wack und darum dreht sich auch ein nicht zu unterschätzender teil ihrer musik. das doppel-vinyl erscheint inklusive cd im klappcover.

office 04 circles in memories: the record is about johannes * iron curtis* palukas time at karl-marx-straße berlin where he used to live next door to label head baaz and graphic designer chris fladung. a1 track * magnet* is an ecstatic piece of house music holding all elements ics production is esteemed and loved for : heavy, unrelenting kicks, rolling bass lines, shimmering pads, topped with searing hot yet gamelan-like synts and an icing of slightly loose, detuned organ stabs predesting grand emotions on any dance floor. * what happened happened* surely marks up as another proof of curtis fearless takes on house music: distorted field recordings and blurred spoken words, a web of gossamer melodies and subtle clicks and cuts, all cohered by the louche bassline and the reshuffled groove in a true dilla-ish vein. adapting elements to their own agenda, clandestine groove explorers berg turn * what happened* into a true midnight roller: razor-sharp hihitas join forces with a steam-maschine like percussion, whipping relentlessly in-between kick drum and kick drum. berg cools off their take with prancing melody motifs and strung out pads of the original track, though never loosing focus of the * reductions* aim: keep the dancer dancing.

its with great pride (and a certain sense of defiance!) that tom and i present you with the 200th freerange release. despite the best efforts of three bankrupt distributors, an arsonist (who set the sony warehouse ablaze back in 2012) and a volatile market, we retained the fire in our bellies, a stiff upper lip, and most importantly an unrelenting passion for electronic music, we soldiered on and here we are at freerange 200!

ajello who are back with their second e.p. on the label! eclecticism is definately the keyword word of the ajello project comprising of luca (dj rocca) roccatagliati and fabrizio taver tavernelli
as this is the second e.p. of 2 from ajello we decided to take the remixes for this project to the next level. first up is luminodisco of house of disco fame, undoubtedly one of nu disco s pioneers with a heritage to match who has reworked montgomery clift ready for the main room. the second mix is delivered by none other than yamwho? best known for his midnight riot & ism imprints who delivers a pure disco groover. finally for the vinyl release is retrospective s own rayko serving up his -best remix ever- in his own words! in addition, for the digital release aashton of aashton & swift fame brings his signature house flavor to the fold alongside an instrumental of the original for the heads. quite a package i m sure you will agree!

dj support: reboot, steve lawler, dj w!ld ....
originally hailing from slovakia but now based out of berlin just_me has been slowly making waves on the underground having previously released for baile music, 1trax and act natural respectively, as well remixing alongside the likes of hector, laura jones and the great todd terry. not a label to pigeon hole ourselves to any one genre or style of house or techno we are constantly looking to push the boundaries on the music we release with the pattern ep we have done just that! as just_me brings us two original deep, stripped back and dubbed out cuts adding some atmospheric and acidic tinges along the way. on the remix duties we have two very capable artists first up is cocoon s martinez who has shown us his new deeper side with an altogether tougher but minimal groove and feel on pattern 01 and to complete the remixes desolat s fosky brings a much more energetic approach to pattern 02. !

following the release of jonas kopp s capturing debut album and the recent transllusion and drexciya re-issues, the berlin powerhouse starts the year with a bang. tresor records is proud to introduce the debut collaboration between all-time reference dj deep, and emerging artist roman poncet, with two powerful 12-s released back-to-back, exploring both modern and classic interpretations of techno. dj deep, uncovered by laurent garnier in the early ‘90s, has always rested on the cusp of modernity, whether in the realm of house or techno, relentlessly delivering visionary selections throughout. as label owner of deeply rooted, dj deep seeks out likeminded artists, including poncet, to propel his vision of contemporary sounds. roman poncet, surfaced in 2013 with a growing catalog on labels as deeply rooted, taapion or figure. the blend of the two producers is simply incendiary and their profound compatibility takes all its sense on these two eps.

*i cant even afford bed linen, let alone a 909*. the unpretentious of jay donaldson is disarming in many different ways. we consider donaldson aka palms trax to be one of the most promising new artists to date. his sound situates him firmly along the chicago-detroit axis, cooking up pad-driven jams, off kilter drums and hazy synths that shift like a gentle musical tide. in 2013 he inaugurated the lobster theremin label, the london-based imprint that quickly became one of the most talked about record labels around. when not travelling the world for prime-time gigs donaldson holds a residency at the widely respected berlin community radio. it is with great pleasure that we welcome golden boy palms trax to dekmantel records.

the soul notes imprint has never restricted itself to just one sound. ever since it emerged in late 2011, the basque county based outfit has shown several sides of its identity and has developed into a diverse and well balanced home. one of the labels usual suspects is cologne native, adryiano. after reaping some havoc with his efforts on the snx series early last year, adryiano has been crafting his down south ep (ironically) somewhere in the north rhine-westphalian concrete jungle. the down south ep is buldging with deep sine basses, fine rhythmic synthwork and lavish but hefty beats. the title track showcases these exact things best. the essence of adryiano s latest effort is still somewhat hard to pin down. a lot of different moods are going on throughout the ep while the overall sounds maintains it s own glance. from the deep machinefunk on down south to the broken beats of feel what you do. all of these bits have a nice theme to them.

berlin-based repitch artist gaja runs ophism, a label oriented to raw industrial inspired techno. modern urban and suburban views are composed by monotonous, repetitive sequences and simple elements, focused on the mechanical landscape of factories, warehouses and assembly lines. concept behind could be the translation of the urban sprawl in music. gaja provides full improvisation and finally the new protagonists are the machines: their cold steady rhythms, their screeching metallic noises, their symphony of inarticulate patterns.
vinyl only release, pressed on 180 gram vinyl.

amir alexander acid (aaacid) returns with his jack ingoff alias, a sub-alias of his smiley virus pseudonym to bring you an abstract acid dj tool ep. fully road tested from berlin, to nyc, to the ukraine, and beyond it s been leaving wrecked dance floors in its wake. as per usual, the tracks on this label always feature odd time synth patterns against 4x4 beats creating poly-rhythmic effect that first stupefies and then invigorates the crowd as they realize that these are not the average acid tracks. stripped raw bangers. just 909 and a 303 pure and simple. yet utilized in fresh, new, and complex ways.

for skylax 140, damien zala, of rowtag records fame, brings the heat with a new 6 track ep. it kicks off with an absolutely mad remix of * looking for the sun* by detroit legend, anthony shake shakir. the attention to detail is clear when it comes to someone who has been in the game for so long, and the rework he has done for damiens track is no exception. * the final break* is damiens first original on the record. a skippy, staccato affair in both its percussion and its disco/funk/soul sampling. *beauty is back* is damien taking things down a jazzier route, with a piano laden jazz sample and shuffling drums to match.on the flip, * always young* is an audacious disco edit, sampling such a treasured song that many would consider untouchable, luckily, damien works his magic to make an edit which gets people moving without being obvious. the ep closes out with * emotions* and the original version of * looking for the sun*, barely recognisable from the anthony shakir remix, in the best possible way! sweet & dirty indeed, dont miss this offering by the one and only damien zala.

following the release of jonas kopp s capturing debut album and the transllusion and drexciya re-issues, the berlin powerhouse starts the year with a bang. tresor records is proud to introduce the debut collaboration between two frenchmen, all-time reference dj deep, and emergent artist roman poncet, with two powerful 12-s released back to back, exploring both modern and classic interpretations of techno. dj deep, uncovered by laurent garnier, has always rested on the cusp of modernity, whether in the realm of house or techno, relentlessly delivering visionary selections since his emergence in the early 90s. as label owner of deeply rooted, dj deep seeks out likeminded artists, including poncet, to propel his vision of contemporary sounds. roman poncet, surfaced in 2013 on len faki’s figure imprint. more recently his catalog also expanded to include releases on deeply rooted as well as young french label taapion. the blend of the two producers is simply incendiary and their profound compatibility takes all its sense on these two explosive eps.

inspired by the success of last summers retrospective on poker flat, steve bug takes up his traffic signs moniker once more for a fabulous jam that more than merits the 10-year wait. the uncredited tunes that first came out under this name were classic jack tracks that devastated dancefloors - and cookie jar is a more than worthy successor. this is stripped-down house, chicago-esque, direct and determined to make you move. berlin legend jake the rapper adds downright dirty humour with a spoken vocal fit for an age of internet sextapes and celebrity photo hacking.

james freud is not the deceased singer of the australian new wave band the models. james freud is not a young art-school dropout with an affinity for electronic music. james freud does not live in berlin - he seems to come out of the blue and it is hard to say whether his production is analogue or digital, whether it is sampled material or sound design. because of the strange maturity of his work the tracks seem to come from both the past and the future. thanks to the digging-qualities of dj good news (who runs the hamburg poem-label) a selection of james freuds oeuvre is now brought to light through the 12inch 5-track extended play - to cut a long story short: mental futurism is wise optimism.

maeve is the record label run by three close friends, mano le tough, the drifter and baikal. some years ago, mano and the drifter ran a clubnight in berlin called passion beat. aera was their guest a couple of times. its very fitting that aera now joins us for maeve 06. aera s original you know juno comprises of warm arps and a dark hypnotic bassline over a jacking house beat. on first hearing the track, the drifter was keen to do a remix. his interpretation is a dark take on the original, boosting the bassline, adding a driving beat and pushing the drama to high levels.
