sampler #4 from the global communication >back in the box< compilation album, the techno and ambient retrospective selected by tom middleton and mark pritchard, back together again after a 15 year hiatus. this album has racked up an incredible amount of support and 5 star reviews across the board, and claiming compilation of the month honours in dj magazine and idj magazine.

in following up marcellus pittmans killer eastside story, seventh sign waste no time in bringing another red-hot act to the label. a member of the legendary underground resistance / los hermanos / galaxy 2 galaxy crew, santiago salazar has also enjoyed success as a member of the trinity (with mad mike banks and gerald mitchell) and more recently as ican, not to mention his many solo outings. his pedigree is unquestionable, a fact not lost on the many labels that have played host to his music, including submerge, planet e, motech and now seventh sign. santiagos sound is full of soul and warmth and is presented using state of the art production and a rich palette of modern sounds, as this e.p. demonstrates to devastating effect... hot!

englishman matthew styles is a special one. firmly schooled in the history of dance music as a dj, his productions usually carry a uniqueness that cannot be located in time and space - a little bit like what courtney melody tried to put into words with his >modern girl<. styles debut for running back is his first solo release in a long while and ticks all the niceness boxes: straight up house with >dont call me again< that works itself up in a frenzy, the rough and ready >scale< performance without a ruffle, >polee< and its irresistible melody and last but not least the percussive and bass-heavy lunacy of >galaxy 21<. yee-haw! styles for days !!

fina has been soaking up the sunshine over the past few weeks procrastinating over the best time to release its next summer cut. with global warming rubbing everyone up the right way, we feel now is as good a time as any to drop fina 004. originally from south africa, esa mervin granger may now be more glasgow concrete towers than table top mountain but his grooves are pure house pedigree. from his releases under his mervin granger moniker to exclusive remixes for ooft! the cape town cat was a natural choice for a very >summer< shuffling three track jaunt.title track veloore is immediately recognisable from its soft analogue piano chords, amalgamated with a dreamy filtered vocal and a bass line which nods to the acidic side of deep house. on the remix is erefaan pearce, a fellow south african who pins soul to every production he lays his hands on. reworking vocals and bass lines into an infectious frenzy that is almost impossible to resist, erefaan draws that sunshine feeling from every angle. think las salinas and you are nearly there. completing the ep on the flipside is galaxy, a deep vocal number paying homage to all the lazy dogs. cosmic deep house aimed purely at the terrace. fina records 004: we present… esa

a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away .... subsistenz. episode 10: it is a period of civil war. current value drone spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil minimal empire. during the battle, rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the empires ultimate weapon, the gay star, an armoured space station with enough media power to destroy an entire planet. pursued by the empires sinister agents, dean rodell races aboard the starship subdivision, in search of the stolen plans that can save all subheads and restore freedom to the galaxies.

dennis coffey war der gitarrist von marvin gaye, the temptation und edwin starr hat nun sein eigenes album mit gŠsten wie mayer harthorne, lisa kekaula von the bellrays, fanny franklin von orgone und mick collins von the dirtbombs

humandrone from japan featured on this lemon yellow release from we play house.
marked firmly on our soundcloud page and in various publications: wph does not accept nor listen to demos. a way of working that was shattered when one day red d found a real physical demo in his postbox. from a galaxy far far away called japan came humandrone a.k.a. takaaki shibuya, with his twist on jackin chicago rhythms. a twist deeply melancholic, almost detroit like, showing us that chicago music can be both jackin’ and musical at the same time.

limited run of 300 copies with din-a3 artwork included clear your throat. understand. sometimes. only sometimes. there is this feeling that there are people out there, illuminated people with a plan. where the music, the approach, the images, the design, the artwork, everything is flowing together and leading into a common transcendent theme. meet ctf 2 by bruno gauthier. a (can we say this, bruno?) veteran updating the epic gospel which was started by the mysterious one with a boom - the boom which broke the nothingness. the spark of inspiration has arrived in this universe. >existing reality< is a teslaesque algorithm for the universal prescription of all antidotes. it is basic and complex. it offers a minimal lushness, a universe within a universe. flip this galaxy. >music takes control< is a maelstrom that sucks all gravity away into the anti matter zone. its razor sharp vortex cutting away the peels of space and time, a radical march of nouveau deepness. or is it steepness? ctf is on base 2, the next beachhead for world domination.

comprising three state-of-the-art expeditions into deep space techno, deep heet vol. 2 takes techno back to its primitive roots, adding details inspired by yet-tobe-explored points in the galaxy, only visible from slaters spacestation Ø uk studio.
supported by adam beye, slam, heiko laux, luciano, damon wild and many more!

light sounds dark combine forces with fellow marshmallows psychemagik on a ride to the other side and as one would expect from these two a variable treasure trove of a selection plucked from all corners of the known galaxy and far beyond.

planet rhythm comes hard with another slammer for december. driving techno from start to finish by spiros kaloumenos, claudio ponticelli, luky r.d.u and the mighty gunjack! this is quality techno..

sound-design from a far-away galaxy, functional and intelligent arrangements, tricky elements somewhere between handmade and cinema-scope and continuously surprising ideas - this is the music of an extraordinary talent: boris brejcha.
he is one of the most productive creative minds of this time segment and while constantly releasing a great amount of tracks, his music does not sound like the work of a mechanic following a certain formula. boris force roots from a unique style that has a focus on diversity and still you recognize his hand-writing while listening to his tricky arrangements and breaks that are different as they can be.

phonica records limited offshoot returns with a second 12 inch from the man that kickstarted the label iori. the okinawan producer, whose >galaxy / urge< 12 inch won praise from across the board, has been working prolifically and this is only a brief glimpse of things to come. first up is >spatiotemporal< - a ten and a half techno odyssey towards the deeper echelons of the genre. starting off as a simple drum attern, >spatiotemporal< slowly but steadily builds up, with iori bringing layer after layer of synths proper mid-paced cosmic techno!! its definitely one of those tracks that need to be left to do their work preferably on a loud soundsystem! on the flip, weve secured the remix talents of one of the hottest names in techno at the moment. all the way from cold sweden, skudge have made quite a name for themselves in the last year, with solid releases on their own imprint. their remix of >grit< more than exceeded our expectations. its a masterpiece of stripped down techno that brings to the fore all the parts we like from the original, while taking it in a completely different direction. special artwork by pedro carvalho de almeida.

andromeda – just like the galaxy with the same name - is brilliant! expansive and excursive, the suspenseful groove on its own is >big room< worthy, but its the sci-fi tune that haunts across the synths that takes this tune from x files to x factor. while on the flip you will discover the #1 remix duo - 2000 and one and dj madskillz - with a punchy, in-your-face stellar remix.

ultraphat netrotrance inspired remixes

brut! records baby sister label, pop!, sees its second release with popnonames spaces. an eclectic line-up, including joerg burger, freund der familie and paid for fame, remix the original three times over to offer a varied perspective of the same brave track. revving its engine, spaces drives you to experience things. it invites you to crack yourself open so that through that voluntary rift some new future might pour. bold, beautiful and formless it emerges, washed in a golden light. a baby nebula, perhaps if you are lucky, cradled in the spiral arms of a distant galaxy patiently building mass as it clumps gas and dust together. the important things often creep up silently…recognized only once they are there, even though you had given them no shape in your mind prior to their arrival. space gives possibility to what these forms might be, boundless in four-dimensions. its that expanding medium that allows imagination to roam without end…where the need to distinguish between what you know and invented evaporates and flows pure and clear as an ice cold stream.

debut album from italys marcello napoletano, the space voodo as a d12inch. includes the calm b 4 the storm with i.f.m. (francesco schito), and expressions of a miles man, a ode to miles davis. his previous 12inch has been a hit with over 50 big name djs worldwide.

longtime fan of the 80s , digikid84 draws his inspiration from both the classics of this period in music (run dmc, michael jackson, midnight star, eurhythmics) and from cartoon classic trailers such as (thundercats, silverhawks, galaxyrangers,). this funkadelik touch has earned him an unwavering support from artists such as benjamin diamond, cassius, grand master flash, dj mehdi or vicarious bliss.

nys underground celebrity, electronic obscurity and rare disco specialist william burnett (aka grackle, aka speculator) delivers an ep that truly defies any categorization and therefore will have a harder time to find its way into the stores usually packed with easily digestible pre-masticated dancefloor stew that comes with filing recommandations. the music on this record evokes images of mad peyote sessions held amidst dry and sandy landscapes. the original desert acid sounds like a jam machines and instruments would do when left on their own, unsupervised by humans. a wobbly and acidey synthline goes on a psychedelic journey with fuzzy guitar riffs, backed by a stompy almost tribal discobeat. düsseldorfs currently most interesting band musiccargo rework the piece into a cinematic krautdisco gem that floats on a loopy vibraphone drone, sprinkled with german and english lyrics. sombrero galaxy (aka cbs/intergalactic fm regular dj tako reyenga and his mysterious uk buddy jonny nash) take the track into cosmic realms (rare occasion where the term really fits) and their version could easily be interpreted as a vangelis tribute. the last track on the ep we are it is a slow 808 jam with druggy and spaced out fuzzy vocals, paired with equally druggy and fuzzy guitars. if you are a filmmaker and you need a song for a weird desert scene youd be an idiot not to consider this one the perfect choice.

collaboration has become a cornerstone for motech. maintaining its diverse sound requires diverse collaborations. the sound that emerges on >midnight express< is no exception. combining the ever evolving sound of dj 3000 and the synth mastery of esteban adame (galaxy 2 galaxy, los hermanos, ican w/santiago salazar). this new 12 inch is a driving exploration of where the sound of detroit is going. joined together are the ethno-percussive elements instrumental to shaping the motech sound, as well as a dance floor driven synth pattern that beckons your inner desire to move.

stephan laubner s stl project returns on his something imprint with another great, deep and soulful vinyl release where he illuminates even more corners of his universe. retro stylish melodies between raw and rough house beats with the unstoppable affectation for long evolving grooves. these tracks easily break through the sound barrier and moving supersonically on dancefloors and places beyond. a voyage, which has it s roots in the dark. at a place where spirit comes from. music out of the inner galaxy where emotions and thoughts get born, all captured and channeled through oldschool equipment direct to your speakers. these sounds are part of something. something you can not see, but somehow, you know it s definitely there. get inside, and enjoy the unseen voyage.

great new release from boxon s very own wonderproducer : eclier. four tracks aimed at the dancefloor with maximum effekt potential. including remix from dilemn.

can you imagine something better than this duo outworks elektro, wellknown all over the world, is back with new remixes by nicola fasano, chriss ortega, steve forest & simon de jano...jolly roger records dream team!!!! supported by bob sinclair, robbie rivera, simon dale (kiss kiss), andi durrant (galaxy uk), hardsoul, andi daniels (hed kandi), jason nevins,....in their playlist!!
