alessandro parisi recorded this album just with a roland tr-707 and a roland jx-3p. the result is impressive. for lux rec it was worth the labels first lp. the heritage from his home in the northeast of italy is clearly present in the music of parisi. back in the late seventies and early eighties pordenone was an industrial city with a vivid underground post punk and wave scene. cold weather electronics. fog and darkness surrounds the place to this day and deeply pervades this record: the history of a city called draconia. who will do wrong shall not be forgiven. limited to 250 copies, it comes in a red vinyl double 12-inch outfit. free download included!

after the killer release by marco shuttle vidd is back after a long silence with their 2nd release. a special release from somebody who has done a lot in a very short time: gw from stockholm. surrounded by mystery and simplicity, hurry up demonstrates both power and heft with few elements. the driving force builds a tension which really doesnt reach a peak, something that the locked groove vocal manages to balance perfectly. the energy is constant and keeps things interesting. the b-side starts off with runaway, a chicago-resembling funk track that reflects the 90s tradition and the new digital age. tonight closes the doors of this release and the closing lights come on, it is time to go home.

trikk follows up last years debut release on manmakemusic with a second offering of shimmering bass heavy house music aimed squarely at the dance floor. the ep itself has already been getting some heavy rotation from manmake label boss george fitzgerald, appearing on his recent boiler room and radio one essential mixes. on basement traxx we see the darker side of trikks musical personality as he gives us a stuttering techno drum workout with demented pads and ominous stabs. rounded is trademark trikk featuring rolling subbass alongside drifting chords and swinging drums. lando (formerly lando kal) completes the ep with a guttural techno rework of the aside rounding off a stellar dancefloor centric release from the manmakemusic camp.

the savannah ep concludes mr. beatnick s synthetes trilogy, a series which has signalled the london producer s migration from hip-hop into well-schooled deep house. the first two installments, at their best, married adeptly selected samples with stylish synth work in a manner reminiscent of moodymann or andrés, but not excessively beholden to detroit house.

stygian stride is jimy seitang, a new york based musician in the no neck blues band axis who, as a member of psychic ills and most currently with rhyton, was brought up in the midst of the groundswell of avant-garde and improvised psychedlic music in new york city over the past decade. on this, his debut solo release, seitang has moved away from rock music completely, instead turning his attention to gauzy electronic music reminiscent of gas and the classic era of mille plateaux and chain reaction, with nods to manuel goettsching and tangerine dream

this is the sound of the future four. led by andy meecham, the brains behind the emperor machine, bizarre inc and chicken lips amongst many others, and captures the excitement, diversity, strangeness and harmony of the uk underground sound of the early 90s. we are talking about the sparse dub mix on side 2 of the 12 inch single, machines making mistakes and changing the course of history, the dark side of the rave away from the neon and the white gloves, future four points the way to the dimly lit corner of the dancefloor and makes you move. after a recent discovery of boxes of old s950 and mpc60 floppy discs full of sound sets dating back to the early 90s, all three tracks have been produced solely on the mpc 3000 in staffordshire, and in perfect unison of north and south, mixed by erol alkan in london.

demdike stare return to the lab with two extended new productions, inaugurating a series of untamed releases brought together under the testpressing banner. collision was recorded in late 2012 and is pretty much unlike anything you will have heard from demdike before, an intense high-frequency re-arrangement of jungle and noise, like a more brutal variant of the demdike-affiliated hate project, fed through a bank of analogue boxes and pedals, left to spin uncontrollably for 10 minutes before fading to black. misappropriation on the flip feeds off a different noise altogether, perched precariously between the mangled percussion you would most commonly associate with muslimgauze and the metallic clank of industry, a proper sunstroke riddim: angry and unforgiving.

innercity records is the new label from mark horsfall (horsey brothers/amenti music/kaluki) and danny stott (aka roland nights - amenti music/lost my dog). the label, based in manchester and launching in early april, will release a series of various artist eps. volume 1 features 6 artists that represent the very best of what the deep house scene has to offer right now - the well established giom features on the vinyl release with dale howard , leigh d oliver and roland nights, while young brazilian star gutto serta and welshman casey lee jones complete the digital release which will follow a month later. mark and danny state, innercity is born out of a raw passion for proper house music. remaining true to the spirit of house music is our primary aim, which does not involve trying to strictly emulate the music of days gone by but finding house music made out of love for the dance floor.

a collection of previously unreleased cuts from his early hip hop days (2003-8). some big bad sample tracks with chunky hip hop beats. two rap remixes of mf doom and supastition and two cuts more in the vein of cut chemist or ruckus roboticus full of movie samples.

a double ep release from the classic music company, mixing together friends old and new from the label. recent signings to classic, no dial tone deliver their second original production to the imprint - standing still – a deep slow burning almost bjork-esq vocal record kicks off the a side. long time label cohort from the early bar rumba days, mathew herbert twists and turns the record into something completely herbert and ultimately classic in its make up. on the flip…long-time greenskeepers man james curd returns to classic with nothing short of a bump! gentle help is typical curd funk and now with added black madonna flavours. road tested relentlessly at the smart bar, the chicago native channels the essence of old dance mania records and funnels it into something typically a little left of centre. each track is uniquely different and recognisably classic.

for its ninth release popcorn is proud to present the second ep of the man from koeln that we do not introduce anymore: daso. this artist who became a real friend and mainly one of the head artist of the label is one of the talented producer in the recent electronic music circus. immer, the main track of this release, gathers a collection of generous and deep sounds sprinkled with hypnotics’ synths: no mistake. the italian nico lahs (ovum, poker flat…) gives us a brilliant own interpretation playing with the bass through acid touches. definitely underground. schub the second original of this opus confirms dasos potential to produce deep house. strong original themes, romantic piano, voices and rollands drums are a sweet taste of springs. chordster is the last original but not the least. the lead piano drives the acid snare all along the track. the result is more than effective and brings your mind right into dasos universe, forever.

revelations of coldfish inspired many artists in the all inn family, so after a year of the original release it was obvious to publish the remix ep from the track revelation one by verrina & ventura, cristi cons and tc studio. stunning and bombastic reinterpretations for dancefloors in three different colours.

left hand path is an ode to the other, the outside, the odd and uncanny, a window to the wilds of theoutdoors from the crushing claustrophobia of the rat race. musically, the new aspects album deftly treads the light beam divide of old and new - at times dusty-fingered and familiar, yet finding moments of un-quantized lo-fi sci-fi - not far from l.a.s low end theory sound buffet.

championsound continue to blaze a trail, showcasing some of the hottest new talent to emerge from irelands vibrant music scene!! following hot on the heels of the premiere release on champion sound in 2013 , next in line comes the work of prolific northern irish producer, t-polar, whose previous releases on acroplane, saigon recordings, morris audio, !kaboogie records and rebirth garnered the support of everyone from mary anne hobbs to 2562 to boddika. in keeping with his previous output and adding to what must surely be irelands deepest discography in electronic music (dating back to 2004), t-polar (aka gary spence) releases feetwork, an ep which hop-scotches genres, roughened up by the searing properties of hoover bass, teamed with tough, rolling kicks, nods to leftfield house and vintage rave, and peppered with skittering two-step grit. the remix in the pack comes from the increasingly ubiquitous unknown whose youtube uploads and remixes have been setting the internet alight with speculation.

house of black lanterns is the brand new project from dylan richards, formerly known as king cannibal (ninja tune) and zilla (warp). retaining the earlier influence of dj krusts sprawling drum & bass soundscapes, house of black lanterns sees richards develop his sound to incorporate the dub-inflected techno textures of rhythm & sound whilst nodding to the catchy, yet occasionally bleak floorfillers of trax, all inspired by the modern noir visual style of michael mann.

music that rumbles. it is the trademark for hidden recordings. we continue the tradition in a big way with fast-rising uk producer chris finke offering the up the labels next release, dont try this at home. you may recognize his name from such prominent labels such as mote evolver, beardman, and trapez, and now joins our family. chris is tough to categorize, and that is why we love this ep so much. it is a combination of his unique mix of techno, bass and anything else he feels like, all rolled up into a nice industrial big-room package ready for warehouses around the world. clrs black asteroid provides a bold and unforgettable remix of dont try this at home.
support from many including luciano, richie hawtin, audio injection, dj emerson, danny tenaglia, andrea ferlin, sasha carassi, matt cooper, luigi madonna, noah pred, and angel costa.

the every make ep is a double-sided record, featuring 3 tracks crafted structurally for djs and emotionally for dancers. dont bother with em at home or in the car. and, if you are actually able to explode someones head on the dance floor with them, thatd be just fine. morgan alexander began building a sonic home in house music in the early nineties. having relocated in 2005 from seasonal boston to straight-sun los angeles, 2013 finds him with his fingers in as many musical pies as possible. topping them is his respected series of underground events, bottom floor, where he is featured as resident dj. the recent string of guest artists joining morgan in the booth include the likes of john tejada (palette recordings), kai alce (ndatl muzik), chris brann (wamdue project), brett dancer (track mode recordings), jordan fields (mowax), jus-ed (underground quality), boo williams (strictly jaz unit), daniel bell (7th city), recloose (planet e), mike huckaby (s y n t h), and dj sprinkles (mule musiq).

another round of wonderful eclectic delights from balearica. side a features the in demand *tonys song* by tony g. originally released back in 88, this floorfilling electro-tinged house classic features an incredibly catchy piano riff, phat bassline and some spoken vocals taken from al pacinos *scarface*. a massive hit both at amnesia in ibiza as well as at manchesters hacienda and at the early acid house parties, this track still sounds super fresh. next up is the dope vocoder-laden groove of escape from new yorks *slow beat* - a brilliant balearic chugger that features high on many most-wanted lists. on the flipside, we get the much desired slo-mo disco of steve benders *the final thing* - a moog-heavy groover that hit big at both the balearic parties and on italys cosmic scene. then finally, to round off this great compilation is the extended instrumental version of bowie & methanys *this is not america* - a favourite of everyone from alfredo to theo parrish. quality stuff!
