hypnotic, synthesised bliss, b-boy breaks and dreamy dub. if that doesnt sound like a winning combo, we dont know what does.

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it is loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts.
rabo & snob eschew the worn rhythms of disco injecting a heretofore unheard blend of middle-eastern rhythm mixed with western influence. equal parts studio musician and disco academia, this tel aviv duo know their history and can see the future. here we come is an appropriate maxim on their maiden vinyl release. these two weave a groove combining original and sampled elements to create a three track ep, each cut as strong as the next.

the first release on freerotation brings together 4 core residents, juju, jordash, move d and soulphiction with the organizer of the festival steevio in a joint project of live hardware jam sessions. the high on wye quintet: 5 men, a modular synthesizer and a mountain of hardware, crammed into steevios bijou studio in the welsh hills for 2 days after freerotation 2012. they had one ambition, to somehow transmute the energy from a weekend of heavy partying and performing, into a live improvised album of tripped out, ambient and deep techno. the result: the hafod jams (in several parts).

cut a. kaos has been in the music and dj business since many years. last summer, he actively returned into techno with the purpose to create a new album. in other words, he targeted a genuine techno album containing two parts. the first one is a retrospective view to the origins of techno, consequently deep tech is accompanied by clear acid structures, exhibited by artists such as the martian, beltram or the old umek stuff. although many styles are aggregated, they are all pure techno. niereich, austrias number one techno artist, contributed a brilliant remix of *because it s acid*! another artist, edelstahl, produced a remix of *walk and talk*, which resulted in a hard and fat monster!

walking through the sky, five years ago christian naujoks, peter m. kersten and richard von der schulenburg started a series of spontaneous recording sessions without any intention or idea. the only thing what held the group together were the immediate results hitting the three musicians straight inside their hearts. jazz as a metaphor of instrumental conversation, improvisation in the most dillettant way, science as a matter of exploring the opposite sound of what instruments were built to, these might be parts of a concept where there was none.

alec storey (formerly known as al tourettes) praesentiert auf seinem debuetalbum auf houndstooth psychedelisch-inspirierte, bassige dark electronica. double divide ist ein komplexes werk, inspiriert von liebe und emotion. es ist ein werk voller gegensätze, paradoxien und idiosynkrasien. ein mix aus hochintensiver, beatgetriebener musik, abenteurlichen clubtunes, die storeys basswurzeln belegen, gleichzeitig aber auch durch gefuehlsgeladene ambientpassagen aus komplex-rhythmischen strukturen und melodisch emotionalen passagen ausbalanciert werden.

the hot new black booby release for 2014 is a homage to none other than the mighty roach motel (terry farley & pete heller). the 4 tracker completely rips apart the pairs discography and re­blends and knits dozens of parts back together to give something new, fresh and above all house.

body function and vatican shadow have combined forces on > games have rules< for hospital productions, simultaneously stripping back each producers more prevalent production elements - the dancefloor-focused techno structures of function, the experimental cassette-roots of vatican shadow - to create an album of dynamic electronic ambient music, equal parts rhythmic and atmospheric.

look who dug a hole through the earth… fresh in berlin from the subtropic suns of la, draveng is coming up in your schrebergarten with a cup of coffee and three exercises for allergy season.
side a: first comes *dubious smink*, a rubbery wink of a snake’s housework. then, open up and say laaa for the the vocal mix of synth rearranger, *no flex fit*.
side b: things get dramatic here. wilderness whimpers while wind whips water before moses staff parts 4 to the floor kicks from divine mathematics. j. tijn does what he does best and sears *for thin soles* into a blown out roller.

this album is available in 2 seperate parts. part one comes in limited luxurious handmade screen-printed sleeves. part two comes with an inner sleeve and can be combined with part one to built the full lp.

this new ep is no exception as this time he draws out immersive pads and understated melody over the top of percussive grit, in parts channeling some of that irresistible autonomous africa flavour. the release has already garnered support djs and radio alike with jamie xx playing out reflex on both his recent boiler room and bbc radio 1 guest mix, while another early unveiling of pitch drift dropped recently on benji bs show.

we are proud to present the next thrilling release by co-owner pherox on slash! tims second ep named dmf-9-electric is a mixture of deep soulful and floor shaking electronic music. we call it the gentle side of techno, no wonder that one of the hottest artists in this scene john daly delivers a cracking remix to this 4-track ep. lets start with the first track road days which is dominated by deep rolling basses and floating voices creating a hi-tech energy peak time track. once you get the sudden effect of it, its gonna reveal the true freak in you, give it a try! the other title on the a-side called rude vox is a dark dream of liberty and a long voyage into the night. its clothed in moonlight and restless in wanting where the voices of children paired with strings, a ghost precedes us, a shadow follows us - each time we stop – we fall. the b-side starts with john daly s rework on the track shelter. the remix is a dark miracle of shiny blackness which has his own magic, while the sun sinks low, an h-bomb in reverse. john takes the key parts from the original track and raises them into a new context. techno-soul in its purest form. we, for one, are in ecstasy enthralled. can we convince you to smile? the whole ep ends up with the original one from pherox. the circular beat of shelter with its loaded flashy effects will heat up any dance floor for sure. boys and girls, its getting hot in here so take off all your.. or just keep doing whatever you want!

following the success of the digital release of sleazy mcqueens *you know how ep*, upstart label, cvmr were compelled to press the remixes to vinyl. the proceedings open in superb style thanks to the revenges live dub. a bass heavy tool with equal parts classic house and disco, with a touch of arthur baker-style drums. on a2, sleazy mcqueens space coast take things to the basement with the help of romano arcaini (latenight society), warm rhodes, live bass and an absolute drum-break-freakout add a decidedly different dub flavor to the package. b/w compost blacks main man kasper bjorke offers his acid tinged interpretation, driven by a gritty saw-wave bass hook, rolling snare hits, wanderings arps and crunchy drums, a simply stunning piece of music as expected from the undeniably talented copenhagen born producer. closing out the remix ep, cvmr in-house producer, century strips back the vibe to a dropped tempo, emotive workout fuelled be heavily reverberated piano chords, echoing vocal lines and a general chuggy, low-slung vibe throughout.

a diverse and damaging three track ep from bone, exploring and exhibiting detroit techno musically, figuratively and spiritually. a1. here to stay (won t fade away) a nod to detroit as an ever-present - a marker by which others are measured, bone s first track on the detroit ep, here to stay (won t fade away) makes a statement above and beyond just being a fine example the music it refers to. the sumptuous melody that opens the track is accompanied by a substantial yet soft, almost warm, kick, a combination that somehow provides an atmosphere and depth way beyond merely the of the sum of its parts. more rolling percussion and drums are crisply ushered in before the here to stay (won t fade away) vocal begins looping over the composition. linear, straight up loops, grooves and rhythm give a consistent sense of railroad-esque motion atop of an ever-present vein of lush synth and melody. a track that is certainly here to stay. a2. detroit is ... soul with more of an emotional focus than symbolic this time, it s clear this one is from bone s heart. detroit is ... soul, ducks and weaves in the grey area between house and techno, the initial percussion that is brushed over the kick giving more of a house swing than a techno groove. the on/off, cut-and-dry synth chords contrast with the looser fluidity in here to stay (won t fade away), and gives a real sense of intent and desire. the real focal point however is the profound vocal that comes swirling over the top, -detroit is what i love, detroit is what i need, detroit is where i m from, detroit s the air i breathe?- no explanation necessary. b. detroit is ... hard bone rounds off part 1 of his detroit ep with aplomb. where the previous two tracks have drawn on the emotional and symbolic significance of detroit as a place and as an ideal, detroit is ... hard, cuts straight to the chase. utilizing the same vocal sample as detroit is ... soul, bone feeds things through the grinder and comes out with a late night dancefloor destroyer that blends millsian fury and red planet mystique with the archetypal subject detroit aesthetic. chaotic arpeggiated melody, indignant claps and breakneck drums and percussion are the chosen company for bone s words on this flipside to detroit is ... soul. detroit is ... hard, undoubtedly to become a mainstay for sweaty after-hours affairs the world over

to celebrate our 10th release we would like to welcome back our favourite outboard loving russian, semerka. two tracks of the highest order include lead track *triptych*, a 9 minute masterpiece in 3 parts, plus *more* which manages to be beautiful but deep with a creepy acid line. and synths reminiscent of the twin peaks theme track. dorylus take triptych into dubby territory with distorted but gorgeous synth lines not a million miles from early underground resistance. includes code for free download of 5 exclusive remixes.

after a best-selling debut record, low budget family - an independent moscow-based record label run by the crew behind the legendary shop&bar denis simachev formation return, and how! king solomons mines from simple symmetry is quite a classic in the making - a deceptively simple workout that reminds of mid 80s boyd jarvis jams, but shot through with 21st century twists and turns, that amplify those tough drum machines, anthemic afro elements, chants and marimba riffing. add a truly dynamic arrangement and you have a dancefloor dynamite! it is disco royalty on the remix tip as soft rocks & brennan green step up. as expected, given the incredible ingredients, the two of them shine. soft rocks set up a classic euro flavoured afro-trance workout, utilising the parts against a far more electronic and unrelenting backdrop, building to a sweaty, strobe-lit finale. brennan green may be less than prolific these days, but he is dependable as ever here. working up a synth-soaked, prelude style dub, whose classic elements will work the floor from here to zanzibar…

patrick arbez strikes back with his second vinyl on delude records in this summer. the fabulous down to earth series comes exclusive on vinyl. the release contains 4 parts of dark driving melodic techno with a lot of synthesizersounds. even now a real all time patrick arbez classics!

two brand new remixes of sparkys eternal numbers anthem ‘portland’ by tuff city kids (gerd janson & phillip lauer). having requested the parts of the original track, the intrepid duo travelled back in time to the year 1991, set up their samplers and got busy with the breakbeats and euphoric synth pads.

rough, rugged and raw psycho jackers, that fill you up before the main course is served. parts unknown, weight unknown, this hasnt been the first and definitely is not the last you will hear from this guy. promo only like way back when, just to give you a little taste of what is to come. not coming back!

b.riddim is luis sequeira, a portuguese living in london. magic my ear is his second ep for third ear, following the (in) theory ep in 2012. formerly a driving force in the influential portuguese rap group g-ward under the name bellatur, luis followed his love of jamaican dub using electronics to arrive at a sound which is identifiable through the sum of its parts but which is quite unique.

well, well, well! our teutonic chums come through once again with the secret selections you vinyl-junkies love to love! house master boyz get ripped up, but this aint chicago and it aint 1986! that classic acid house refrain gets welded onto some distinctly brand new / retro sonics, an acid laced behemoth that is equal parts new beat and strobe-lit proto house. timeless & powerful floor food, and as such, equally at home in some erol alkan piloted stadium as it is in a stinky basement. a quick flip and the jj jam swaps the faithful homage we found next door for a futuristic steppers workout. roughly hewn stabs underpinned by some rib cage rattling low end registers

good old aunt frieda likes it colorful, that’s pretty known in all parts of the world since the birth of frieda musik. and even our new children of the family are the same kind of colorful: frivolous is painting in all different colors without wasting any paint. his two originals are pushing with forward-thinking rhythms without forgetting how to get his audience into dreaming through his golden voice and his playful melodies. a very special schmankerl is his lullaby. a little more precise and determined comes dirty doering and sascha cawa’s upside down remix of “for the message” within this package. and not to forget there’s a digital bonus by our boys san marco & don ramon, who tell us: don’t stop mumble, if you wanna get this kind of (zurich)-groove. in our opinion: a perfect ep for endless summer nights.

simon aka birth of frequency is back on board for his second ep on construct re-form. with four tracks he shows us different aspects of his talent as techno maker !! windy city is a relentless acid loop, with straight and sharp rythm parts. the kind of track you can play for a very long time. bad tempered is a proper techno, hypnotic and powerful : perfect to maintain a tangible tension on the dancefloor. huron will complete the destruction with a frantic and agressiv synth / hats duo. newcomer, comes from the ground with a sticky and heavy atmosphere …

die wild beasts veröffentlichen ihre zweite single aus dem aktuellen album -present tense- mit drei hochwertigen remixversionen als limitierte whitelabel 12inch. die midtempo-nummer entwickelt sich nach ruhigem beginn zu einer regelrechten hymne, die vom treibenden beat zusammengehalten wird und exemplarisch für das wohlbekannte gefühl aus zärtlichkeit, extrovertiertheit und perkussivem drive steht, das die wild beats seit jeher repräsentieren. trotzdem verpassen sie nicht die gelegenheit, sich auch auf diesem song weiterzuentwickeln. am stärksten wird dies wohl durch die parts deutlich, die zum mitsingen einladen und so -a simple beautiful truth- quasi zu einem selbstläufer bei live-performances machen. neben der albumversion des songs finden sich auf der whitelabel 12inch remixes von lone, darum und east indie youth!

keeping in line with the trademark birdsmakingmachine sound, comes the fifth release on their self-entitled label, bmm 004. with a more straight-to-the-point approach than its predecessor, the ep starts off on the dance floor, with rumbling bass lines and heavy metallic snares juggling with effects-laden delicacies on the a1s >ahora vengo<. the arrival of >ash but not arthur< on the a2 calms things down bit and takes the listener for a gentle journey through ambient pads and cleverly swinging hi hats, while on the flip, things get a little more bouncy in >oscars critical jack<, which is mostly due to the fact its main ingredient – the solid playful bass line – blends effortlessly with the higher frequency spices, keys, strings and rhythmic parts. the end credits roll down with >bonfume<, another relatively smooth yet jacking swinger that could either be used to kick it up a notch in a warm-up set or be danced to while finding yourself at an afterhour.

nach einigen eps und supportauftritte für bonobo, atoms for peace und jon hopkins folgt nun das mit spannung erwartete debütalbum von ross tones aka throwing snow, eine hälfte des electro-goth-duos snow ghosts (ebenfalls auf houndstooth). basierend auf warmen bässen treffen sehnsüchtige melodien auf immer wieder überraschende, rhythmische windungen. mit dabei sind kid a (ninja tune), knox (boysnoize) und adda kaleh (red bull music academy).

• massive new title from papers versus clouds !!
• another fine bundle of established artists go head to head...
the 5th brothers installment sees papers and clouds on the collab and 4 new members to the brothers family. the a side is a broken techno track with filtered drums, laced with an acid hook that will keep people fixed to the dancefloor. b1, a 138bpm straight distorted driver with heavy euphoric strings and harsh syncopated percussion, finally b2 slows things down a little to 122bpm, taking parts of b1 and flipping it on its head with harsh grooving hats and a ripping synth...

for the second instalment from quantum entanglement we delve into the misty past, a time when moving parts ruled the dance, when the power of the night rested on a needle and a bassline, and before cdjs calculated the bpm for you…you had to touch things, buy things, and the bassline ruled over all. acid thunder, a classic by fast eddie, was the first dance record i ever bought. it was important. the guy who sold it to me, at the time a spotty school kid in his school uniform, was called john stapleton, and the shop was sidetrax in bristol.

always hard at work unearthing interesting new projects or forgotten old gems, opilec music is now serving up a retrospective compilation of highly esteemed chicago producer jordan fields best work from 1986 - 1991. field has been active now for some thirty years (on labels like rush hour, headphoniq and mo wax) but his best work was arguably done in his first decade or so. now opilec boss i-robots has been given access to a collection of field s early recordings and has selected, compiled & conceived this project himself. it will be presented as a full-length album but will also arrive in a few select ep parts, with this being the first one

the cellar boyz *pay me* is taken from ben cenacs timeless cozmic house ep on thug records. pay me which was recorded in 1986 is the only track from the cozmic house e.p that had available parts. the stems for deeper & deeper, seems to me & who loves you were never recorded. this was due to the fact that all of bens projects through out the 90s were tracked midi only at mix down, with only the vocals being recorded to tape! thug would never have had the opportunity to release ben cenacs cozmic house 12 inch if it had not been for simoncino. simoncino did all the a&r for the record. a gift not only for thug but any fans of ben cenacs amazing productions. with that in mind, simoncino has provided 2 remixed versions of pay me, alongside a remix from close friend nicholas!

from the two individually revered artists seuil and le loup, comes the debut lp under their collaborative dj/producing alias hold youth. a collection of dance-orientated tracks, designed to make the body move, de la club explores the origins of hold youth’s fundamental influences to their modern day stance.a lp in two parts, the first vinyl is almost a retrospective of primarily state-side club sounds, but also of the pair’s early musical staples. paying homage to old skool production, the inspiration drawn from the detroit greats like moodymann and andres is clear on the funked-out, jazzy vibes of street my baby or the smooth flowing les enfants du soleil. hold youths love affair with head-bobbing hip hop also makes an appearance on the intro and outro, sampling the one and only j dilla, perfectly combined with their own personal beat-boxing. not forgetting their french 90s roots, kool & the boug oozes that warmth defined so well by pepe bradock and trankilou… a club track which has the power of subtlety to submerge the dancefloor that one level deeper. part two looks to the example of german minimal and micro house and brings us up to date with the sounds fresh from hold youth’s record bag today. be it the weird and murky territory of dodge this, or the eerie, glitchy world of black dog, their modern vision of de la club is darker and sturdier in its stature. but it is the ability to weave seamlessly between the lps two halves, two ideals, which truly characterises the hold youth ethos and their signature djing style.

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.
