the main idea for the luxxury edit series was to take overplayed and/or uncool songs and turn them into tracks that i myself would want to dj. initially the plan was to do this exclusively using the sounds from the original multi tracks, rather than the typical throw a new beat and some swooshes on it kind of re-edit.

kreidler begehen 2014 ihren 20. geburtstag - gerade der pubertät entwachsen, aber immer noch juvenil, draufgängerisch, ungestüm. die sechs stücke des in tiflis, georgien, aufgenommen albums sind für so manche Überraschung gut: plötzlich übernehmen bass und schlagzeug das ruder oder ein chor ertönt. ja, ein chor. kreidler haben mit georgischen sägern zusammengearbeitet: entrückt schwebend in dem versponnenen popstück -ceramic- oder bestimmend einen neuen raum im raum öffnend, wie in -nino-. letzteres eröffnet das album, ein stück, wie gemacht für die cabriosaison, mit schritttempo durch die verkehrsberuhigte zone und alles rauskitzeln, was die boxen hergeben. eine frauenstimme übernimmt zu -alphabet-, die laune steigt, es rockt, wie eben nur kreidler rocken, dann ein kurzes innehalten mit -destino-, ein melancholisches sehnen, das in abstrakten no-wave-funk führt, und dann -modul-, ein ähnliches brett wie -nino-, nur gnadenloser. bei -abc- geht es um ein ausloten von freiheiten in zuvor gesteckten grenzen - typisch kreidler. die lp erscheint inklusive einer cd.

was max richter mit -vivaldi recomposed- geschafft hat, kann man getrost als -vier jahreszeiten 3.0- bezeichnen. der komponist hat vivaldis ideen in die tonsprache der gegenwart übersetzt und damit einen völlig neuen zugang zum werk ermöglicht. zugleich zeigte er respekt vor dem original und seiner interpretationsgeschichte, und erfreut damit auch jene hörer, die das original lieben und beinahe schon auswendig kennen.

when the house music phenomenon was beginning, chicago djs like ron hardy and new yorkers such as frankie knuckles and larry levan would edit records for their own purposes, removing the parts they felt to be superfluous, concentrating instead on extending grooves and hooks, often adding their own basic synth lines and toughening up the percussion with what have now become classic synthesizers and drum machines. warehouse classics vol.3 holds 4 killer tracks going from obscure disco to new wave, first popularised at the music box and rarely heard anywhere else.

asan has been making music for some time. he is geographically the closest artist to lampuka records, yet lamp004 has taken us the longest to complete thus far. we had hoped this to be asans debut release but we were pipped to the post whilst he was on his travels. gladly though we have what we think is a superfluous release…and well worth the wait. no remixes here, just four solid bangers.

shortly after the dust under bridges ep was released, henri sent us nine tracks which he had previously recorded to tape, not thinking that they were worthy of release. on the contrary, these are nine tracks of beautiful, brooding, leftfield house and techno, and we decided immediately that they ought to be available to the public, and that they formed a perfect appendage to halvtraks debut 12 inch release, dust under bridges, written, as they were, during the same period.

you can tell label owner max m loves producers that arent afraid to experiment with the most hypnotic and mind bending properties of techno and electronic music in general. with seven release under its belt, its now obvious that grey series was conceived around a very clear idea: organic sounds, complete lack of stylistic restrictions and an overarching love for introspective and crepuscular atmospheres. the eighth 12inch in the series is signed by spanish producer tadeo, who follows a long list of releases on his very own cyclical tracks and another intelligence imprints with four caliginous cuts that belong to the brainiest and state inducing sets

music is strongly linked to memory, sometimes just a simple note will trigger a deep feeling of nostalgia or emotion. the new homesick series was created by music enthusiasts who are living half a world away from their birthplaces. their concept is a play on memory, to re-edit and rework songs from the past into something which is timeless, tracks which feel fresh but retain their memories. for the first release, the homesick team have curated three pieces by drop out orchestra, late nite tuff guy, zimmer, and amadei. doo have carefully reworked -no scrubs- into a warm, bass driven, disco jam suited for the dancefloor, alntg has provided a solid groove theory lesson as only he can, and the ep is rounded-off with a special (double) bonus track for all the people who love 80s-era french pop music, reworked by zimmer and the asia-based newcomer amadei.

as a precursor to kabale und liebes debut album, soweso records releases the sammy hoboken ep in april as a teaser of whats to come. almost 20 years ago, liron van daalen was inspired to become a dj after his cousin explained that the mixtapes liron adored were created by one person seamlessly mixing one record into another. that revelation set off a chain of events that has seen him adopt the alias kabale und liebe and rise up to become one of hollands most exciting and reputable electronic music artists.

producer mark e hails from the west midlands, an area of the uk that was at the heart of the industrial revolution and was also hit hardest by the decline of uk industry in the 1970s, and again by the economic crisis of our own time. its an area with a distinct sound and atmosphere, one that manifests in the music of artists as diverse as black sabbath and the specials, and one that plays into many of the ideas behind mark es new record product of industry.

nice price deal !!! quenum is an extraordinary individual. a professional breakdancer that was raised in africa, he found love in london in the 80s through mastering the art of djing to early electronic music and broke into the spotlight as acess58 in the 90s before forming the cadenza label with luciano in 2003.
his debut album *face to face* is deliriously deep and melancholic, rhythmically complex and gives a fragile new voice to techno. across the eleven original tracks, phillippe quenum exudes a graceful temperance creating tracks that flutter and take flight (indulge in synth voices of *children of the sun*) as well as rattle the bass bins (sample the raw energy of *basic solution* and delicate power of *ritual*). both sparse and insightful (*my people*) as well as intricate and anthemic (*never loose my soul*), quenums delivery is always quirky and slightly surprising and *face to face* is a curious analysis into this honest musical soul.

bushwick17 is a project by costanza francavilla and alex infascelli. it is a 17 minutes improvisation session, recorded in bushwick on a summer afternoon - with no additional edits, mixing or efx. the idea is based on both artists s obsession with the number 17: the concept was to freely capture 17 minutes of their day together, without any thought before the act or any extra sound manipulation after the act. costanza placed 2 mics on the floor in the middle of the room - facing the wall - and played synthesizers while merging herself with dreamlike vocals into ambient floating textures. alex turned on a fan that was abandoned in the studio, placed the electric guitar in front of it, creating ethereal drones, and moving from guitars atmospheres to abruptly exploding yet sultry drums patterns. the result is an hypnotic sonic journey into an indefinite condition of space and time.

das album loda von belp untersucht eine verbindung zwischen jazz und elektronischer musik, die noch nicht ausreichend bzw. erschoepfend betrieben worden ist. gehen wir einmal davon aus, dass elektronische musik als musikrichtung langfristig bestand haben und sich weiterentwickeln wird. dann stellen wir fest, dass cross-over versuche zwischen jazz und elektronischer musik bislang so gut wie nie echte schnittmengen gebildet haben, sondern versatzstuecke des einen im anderen einsetzten, ohne die beiden zugrundeliegenden philosophien zu verschmelzen.

hommage this is already the third release for our little baby s p i e l and as we are on a constant search for the more leftfield and not so deep house esque dance music it was a very happy surprise to find an amazing demo in our mail box by the swiss indie dance/ electronic duo mercury. the bern based act already made a name for themselves by releasing on the great gomma label and by doing remix work and collaborations with people like robert owens, byron stingily, tom trago,munk and two door cinema club. these three new tracks are a well crafted mix of electro, disco, house and deep techno.

n a rainy late september day in the mid eighties, 7 year old phillip lauer didnt know what to expect from that little new born g, who was referred to as his brother jacob. on the other hand, baby jacob wasn t very sure of what to make of this - back then still sporty - youngster either, who behaved like his boss. to make a short story long it took them almost 30 years to finally find out - behind the helm of the infamous pyramide 2 studio when conducting this fine piece of home made dance music: the brudis ep

it has been a while since jaxson & david keno have been on keno records but it was worth the wait. calippo is an absolute banger. driven by this oldschool deep bassline climaxing in a breakdown filled with detroit strings this track already rocked many dancefloors all over the world. oliver schories takes it down a notch, gets rid of the strings and takes it into a more melancholic direction but still very danceable. the remix from adrian martin pushes calippo even a bit more in the tech house direction.

at some point in 2013, friendly fires, andrew weatherall and timothy j fairplay (aka the asphodells), convened in an east london pub to discuss collaborating on new music together. the plan was to produce music that came from a place outside of their respective usual musical styles - a loose, open-ended process embarked upon for the pure joy of experimentation and collaboration rather than a specific end goal. the collaboration came on the back of two hugely successful friendly fires albums - 2008s debut friendly fires and 2011s follow up pala - and an acclaimed debut album from the asphodells in 2013s ruled by passion destroyed by lust, the latest in a long line of classic releases from andrew weatherall’s own rotters golf club label. the result is *before your eyes* and *velo* - two brand new tracks that take close to ten minutes each to reveal their full hypnotic glory. the tracks will be released as a aa-sided single on translucent, orange colored 12 inch vinyl and will be the inaugural release on friendly fires own telophase label.

andy meecham is a man of many musical incarnations and has been since the early 90s. following on from projects like the now dormant bizarre inc and revived dub-disco duo chicken lips, it is as the emperor machine that he explores his most experimental sounds. to date there have been three full length albums on dc recordings after the project was initially started with the idea of creating music using just one synth, the roland sh-3a. the results lay out the staffordshire mans love of vintage synthesisers for all to see, and combine tough edged disco beats with more cerebral cosmic melodies into alluring soundscapes that bend your mind and drive your feet. as well as a slew of 12s and lps, the emperor machine has also turned his hand to remixes of giants like moby, daft punk and royksopp, and has previously taken a live and inspiringly psychedelic incarnation of the project to clubs and festivals across the planet.
