darling farah is like a shot of adrenalin, administered by his own mind to escape from the anesthetized music scene of his home, the united arab emirates. despite living in one of the most club baron countries in the world and a city that actually prohibits live music to be played in public, the talented eighteen year old has managed to master the art of production and therein spawn an underground scene all on his own.

the distinct trademark of a bara broest beat is the soft but deep kick, the rolling house-groove just around 124 bpm combined with very heavy dub-bass-lines.

the journey begins with lose my life. lady blacktronika lays down her soulful vocals, deep bass and moody keys over simple and captivating motorcity beats. deep, groovy and hypnotic, the overall sound is far more than the sum of its parts.

windy city producers steven hitchell and josh werner continuing to challenge and confound expectations as antenna international drops >fractalrip< a speaker-melting 303 drenched bomb from chicagos southside, harkening back to the earliest days of outlaw warehouse and loft parties this track is already doing damage in the crates of justin long, traxx and adam marshall. while on the b-side we partner with fellow chicago independent imprint nation to bring the >preludes and nocturnes< mixx of >introspective< from traxx faith cd to light. this version has been put through the sonic cacophony that is hitchells echospace studio, packed with myriad gadgetry of assorted compressors, delays and the infamous echo chamber to create an ominous, building, dark entity not for the faint of heart.

if there is a driving motive at the heart of gavin russoms latest project, the crystal ark, it is to create music that communicates and compels physicality and movement. a listen to the projects first single, aptly named >the city never sleeps<, reveals a track as tireless as the title suggests, and russom as a visionary who crafts invocations to move. with his second release under the crystal ark moniker, russom is just as focused on eliciting movement, but deftly avoids repeating himself. unlike its hypnotic predecessor, which slow burned and subtly seduced listeners to physically respond, >the tangible presence of the miraculous< is explicit in its urgings û a composition of nakedly energetic and urgent inducements to dance.

fourth single cut from the latest kuniyuki album >walking in the naked city<. a side,>set me free< was a most clubby tune on the album.kuniyuki edited to bit dirty and more funky. this track is all around for the fan of francois kevorkian to villalobos. b side,original version of >strom< was a classical ambient house track with female vocal. kuniyuki edited to instrumental and added stronger beats.this new version remind early production of blaze or danny tenaglia. both tracks are deep and emotional and lovely dj tool. its real deep house.

one year later the label panacustica delivers a slamming second twelve inch rats mother followed by a brilliant prins thomas remix, plus a detroit inspired instrumental by stay gold, argentoÆs alter ego. the record opens with a dreamy version where a plucked string intro and rats voice drive you into a deep, cinematic, adult dance groove. this laid back, psychedelic track flows well beyond your usual dance floor act into eno-esque territories. prins thomass mix is faster, happier and jumpier. its an amazing balearic trip with a live warm feel to it in which a guitar plays along the melody, accentuating the spaced out feel of the track, lifting it into higher states. stay gold gives the listeners a techno version where sparse, mechanical drums and a minimized melody take us to the motor city (citta dei motori) for a night drive in the dark. own it, feel it, play it loud.

massive support from all keyplayers worldwide! techno from jena city strikes back! douglas greed first single on dekadent and maybe one of his best so far. after his wellknown releases on freude am tanzen, infine, acker records, ostwind and lebensfreude, mr. greed shows us his straight techno side of life.

following on from his string of successful 12 inches on styrax, l2s and mj coles prolific label over the past year, roof light drops a four track ep of dancefloor killers for highpoint lowlife.
already getting heavy rotation from the likes of hot city and mj cole, these four tracks span the spectrum of current uk club memes, from the 2step rhythms of title track >what makes you so special<, the slo-mo house of >face up to your sensibilities<, through to the todd edwards influenced of >prayin to t.e.<, and the moodier down-tempo sound of the closing >cakes, biscuits, and hows yer father<.

michigan central station built in 1913 for the michigan central railroad, was detroit, michigans passenger rail depot from its opening in 1913 until the discontinuance of amtrak service on january 6, 1988. at the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world. the building, located in the corktown district of detroit still stands today, though it remains unoccupied. restoration projects and plans have gone as far as the negotiation process, but none have come to fruition. spread throughout the city of detroit and its surrounding metropolitan area, the decay of once magnificent buildings during the industrial revolution and automobile era now cast a shadow of despair on a once flourishing city. these monuments of achievement now lay barren and forsaken by city government. infrastructural restoration and city development are fundamental elements in detroits recovery, and the recovery of cities worldwide. it is time for revival in our cities, but first, in our souls. the michigan central station ep is a platform for this change.

raw analogue techno

over its brooding, swelling chord rattles, what sounds like a flock of hihats each pushing every possible combination of rhythm to occupy the high frequencies of your hearing range.

after his highly inspiring releases on detroits mathematicsa, quintessentials (uk) and yore (germany), marcello napoletano is back with another adventure into house music. again his unique way of keeping a detroit / chicago sound freshly alive comes neither from the beloved ghost town nor from windy city - marcello napoletanos source of deep madness is based in lecce, a small countrysided village in italy. from here he spreads his deepness all over the world, representing the 8th outstanding issue of laid records.

new label from dublin club promoter conor lynch. conor has been djing and promoting the pogo night for a number of years now, and has a very diverse music policy, with the underlying ethos of anything goes, as long as it is quality. guests have ranged from theo parrish, b12, carl craig, optimo through to the ting tings. the aim is to transfer the ethos from the vibrant club onto vinyl. this is certainly not the reason that we would consider taking on a label for distribution, but the fact that this release from dublin real techno producers tr-one, is as beautiful a slice of deep detroit styled techno as your likely to hear his side of the motor city, certainly is.

when listening to scsi-9 its quite unavoidable the mind turning apart from the body and flying, fantasizing about unexplored roads and boundaries. once again, anton and maxim are providing a trip within their personal globe, travelling in the terra del fuoco (tierra del fuego), in the southest city of te world, ushuaia. tom turns the wave in an heavy deep stone, surely to become a classic to be hold in the most fond of the genre library. the voice is shaped in the loop and becomes like paraffin, the chords completing the whole, transforming an electronic piece into a classic dance floor track. the second track, chasing shadows, following the first one basic line, fill up the b side with the yapacc remix, not disappointing the expectations and concluding the ep in a classy way, giving voice to monsters and fairies, flowing into or days groove.
support by: someone else, osunlade, oliver klein, dj sneak, patrick zigon, nic fanciulli ...

nice price deal !!! glasgow based automaton uk makes his hum+haw debut with the genre defying >british steel<, a mesmerising lo-fi-dub excursion that resonates deep, dark and pure. automaton uk has previously released on 7th sign recordings and is one of glasgows finest djs and purveyors of fine electronic funk. the immaculate selections on his >pipe & slippers< post club mixes are the stuff of folklore in the city. his recent remix of alex smoke’s >lux+< was a sign of things to come. he decimated the original and constructed a mutant hip hop apocalypse of future bass.>british steel< is equally innovative but more cohesive and spellbinding. this track is an atmospheric masterpiece that digs underground to reveal a killer variant that fuses dubstep with fly-lo style electronic manipulation.

hoola is the new single taken from archie bronson outfits recent album, coconut. hoola will be available on two remix 12inchs with exclusive mixes from moscow, house of david, motor city drum ensemble, and 6th borough projects two versions of the album track chunk. coconut, archie bronson outfits third album, is a record full of deep riffs, spaced loops and the sound of a band revelling in both their individuality and intensity. coconut is a record of barely contained ambition and ecstatic overload. the album was produced by tim goldsworthy (lcd soundsystem, the rapture, hercules & love affair) and the result is a wildness of musical vision, given the freedom to be let absolutely loose.

yet another unmissable, under the counter trio of cuts, lovingly crafted from the most unusual of sample sources, combined with squeeky clean production values that make this a dancefloor dead cert. moonshine bears more than a passing resemblance to carl craigs monumental -throw- and ploughs an equally devastating groove, utilizing, of all things a chunk of glitter bands -makes you blind- on the flip the off-kilter but irresistble -revenge of the rock-o-mites- is a re-imagining of the lead track from the incredible rock city band’s impossibly rare electro-funk ep from 83 & sounds like allan parsons remixed by dexter. finally -why d you run away- skillfully reinterprets elements of flash & the pans -ayla- and is more than likely to be blasting out of many an adriactic boat party this summer massive

supplement facts records takes us to that detroit sound, with their next release featuring sierra sam & marcus vector… the auteurs of industrial techno. the man made jobs e.p. is an eager little package of tracks with a nod to the past, but with its sight set straight to the future. the opener >gangsta pimp style< echoes technos birth-city, driving beats and metallic stabs of synths merging with the spoken word rhetoric, intermittently making itself known throughout the pieces sprawling 7-minute runtime. >things you do< moves things to a bit lighter frame, but dont let that description lull you into thinking it as throwaway. this tracks dominates with the ever-present high stringnote that made so many hits in the past. this classic sensibility and a vocal hook which you will be humming for days later…make this track memorable. taking us straight to the 90s, >flagboy< is the final track to round up this powerhouse of a release. featuring vocals from rockey wahington, this track encompasses the likeability & flavor needed for a classic house record unlikely to leave your bag. its all there - the piano stabs, the cowbells, the soulful vocal. all these elements mixing together to create a track so euphoric that you can finally delete your >pusher-man< contact from your blackberry because this is the newest legal high!

excellent 4 track ep with groovin minimal techhouse, made for the hottest floors on earth

nice price deal !!!

nice price deal !!! shree bang special: this is an angular and unrelenting dose of hip hop acid. crunching diplodocus drums stomp holes as tsunamis of grinding bass level the remaining city-scape. the remaining survivors are driven into the mountains by the huge waves of synthetic noise and the threat of a rave induced frontal lobotomy.

release #6 for ornate music brings us agnes with a deep ride through (acid)house country.
