due to the wish of the fans we release here a second limited vinyl with microtrauma, collecting some of their finest tracks never released before on vinyl. the 4 track ep starts with >reflection<, a mighty tune. the track is built musically on a sophisticated layering of intricate sounds that are counteracted by slashing snares and stiletto sharp sequences which allows a fine blend of techno with melodic structures. it is for sure by its nature a true voyage, a trip to higher meadows ... or maybe even follows a mission.

after selling out all previous releases to elite djs and collectors worldwide, the highly mysterius artifact imprint is back to its original aim, that is crafting obscure sonic weapons for disco ninjas! a side 15 minutes is credited to milanese crew love supreme and it is a mesmerizing disco rock rework that builds up to a climax that takes no prisoners. bottin has been playing this to massive dancefloor slaughter and has finally decided to share the blame. on the flipside speed is an enthralling car chase or grand prix if you wish, with throbbing bass, lasers and cowley-esque synth stabs, while frisbee is a rare italo groove, a funk gimmick topped by acid synth patterns, a latin lover voiceover and packs of sultry italian girls chanting >disco! disco!< and definity getting what they are craving for.

we wish there were more moments like the ones that madis ones new 12 inch, in the image (blnk-27), brought to mind. >the hotness< is just that, a mechanical, bass driven, hip-hop cut while >the abyss< recalls the days when the amen break and substance reigned over celebrity status. available on 12 inch vinyl, cut at 45 rpm. we recommend trying these out at 33 rpm as well!

with recent releases for internasjonal and tim sweeneys beats in space records, los angeles based producer secret circuit (otherwise known as eddie ruscha) has had a breakthrough year with his brittle synth jams, taking inspiration from balearic disco and minimal wave alike. however, he has been a prolific producer since 1996, and this record on emotional response, entitled tropical psychedelics, collects productions from rusha up until 2010 that have previously only seen the light of day on cassette releases. described by the label as a >balearic-tropical-afro-psychedelic whirl<, the album packs a rich palette of analogue textures into its ten tracks, from the afro dub of >afrobotics<, through the hazy, beatless combination of piano and analogue synth on >psouvenirs< to the psychedelic tropicalia of >foggy twilights<.

our next ep is the first release from strangers in heaven, the new side-project from a duo of established producers who for now wish to remain nameless. both berlin-based, this pair have cooked up this new alter ego in order to release music with more upbeat, vocal heavy work, with more of an eye to pop sensibilities.

micatone come off with a true masterpiece of sophisticated pop with their new and fifth album >wish i was here< (released in march 2012). not only the music press and feuilletons but also old devoted and newly found fans agree: micatone never sounded better before. the second offspring off the album is a 2-tracker with two very special remixes. label mate stee downes takes on >sweet pain< as if it was his own track and kicks out a vivacious deep house stormer. there is no doubt that this remix will be in every bag of those djs that put some more emotions on the floor. the second remix was orderd in italy - in bologna to be exact. keemani and alex ferratti just started their new project blue mondays and now – with their rework of >just a boy< – promisingly launch their career to become the next in-demand remixers. they dont just lay a vocal track over a pre-programed beat, but use all of their devotion, accuracy and finesse to turn an already astonishing pop song into an anthem for everlasting nights. it is like preparing the perfect sugo: simmer exquisite ingedients for days until your mouth is watering. perfetto!

truth & soul praesentiert die instrumentalversion des letzten lee fields & the expressions albums faithful man. für die produktion waren jeff silverman und leon michels verantwortlich, die schon federführend bei aloe blaccs i need a dollar hit-single und dem album good things ihr koennen unter beweis stellten. leon michels ist auch als kopf der el michels affair und mitglied der bands bronx river parkway, menahan street band und the mighty imperials bekannt. er spielte auch auf diversen produktionen für daptone records instrumente ein.

a long time coming, the first ep from the mysterious duo bernadott finally reaches us. the golem first heard those tracks last summer and noticed his body was moving beyond his control! he therefore decided he should immediately enroll these beat-smiths before the competition took notice. introducing bernadott, the roof of love ep showcases the talent of two underground producers hailing from paris and stockholm, two diggers of the highest order, immersed in musique concrete, italo, free jazz, punk, chicago house and such, two djs devoted to tension, hips & shoulders. with upcoming releases on high profile labels, the golem proudly takes them to the forefront first, unleashing their highly original and leftfield take on the dancefloor. on side a, bernadott turns a white funk forgotten gem, expands it before turning it into a gherkin-esque acid burner with unexpected nods to juke, subtly returning to its post punk roots before you even notice. the golem also wanted to have a nice tune to share with his girlfriend, and he got his wish with side b, another post punk affair autistically turned into a dubby madchester piano choon, a quasi absurd but groovy breezy love song

unusually for a record (for me,at least), constants collects tracks written in four very different moments in time: some are recent - so recent ive only had the opportunity to play them out just a handful of times - while others are over one year old. i really wish the story behind this ep would be a bit more interesting so this text could completely blow your mind but im afraid there were no dragons, no sex, no drugs and definitely no rock n roll involved. all four were mostly produced by me while sipping coffee and wearing boxer shorts in front of a computer. i could somehow try to describe the music on here but it would probably take less for you to give it a listen. however, if you happen to be one of the humans that prefer reading about music. anyway, im really happy to see these finally out, especially on a label i have always looked up to like vakant. i really used to think smoke, kaden and ozer were aliens at some hopefully you will enjoy this music as much as i loved writing and playing it out.

with daughter & son on the b-side of the vinyl, the freiburg native presents a groovy, playful and impulsive sound that is guaranteed to let a summer feeling arise. set between classical techno and modern tech-house the title track daughter & son points consistently towards summer. patrick kunkel & dirk redmer refine their remix with a hypnotic bass line, but then let the track, with its dub elements and the choir parts, drift so incredibly beautiful into the sunrise, that one would wish for an infinite loop. the beach with its more playful harmony feeling and percussive gantry gives a first taste of the open-air season 2012.

nice price deal !!!

vol.8 with more pure disco madness

so what is after the void ... we bang the bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenades, obvious really! having been away for some time it appears that a light sounds dark spring is in the air. en route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants danger electrified tracks out this summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, its full steam ahead and proper european dance music time. not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like maltas very own ian dury by the name of iain richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic italo covers of big in japan, gloria, a wonderful new wave version of falcos euro smash der kommissar and the thoughts massive german hit wait a long time sounding like some long lost talk talk record. light sounds dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems axodrys you and colme 111s you take me high (early euro take on chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky theres some groovy goings on from kraut funksters epsilon urging people to leave the city which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.

radioblues take me home on fenou no.16 is the sweetest piece of minimalish housy electronica in a long time on this label. as a mere mortal you cannot resist the dreamy voice of sylwia van der wonderland. you just want to fulfil her wish to take her home and get caught up in her world. solely the music itself makes it impossible to leave the dance floor and thats thanks to robert - the rocket scientist - who is the other half of this organic duo. with remixes by umami, arjuna schiks and le prix you can choose from various styles, but when the last beats fade youre almost forced to flip to b side and back to the a and so on and so forth

from the beginning of bristol archive records involvement in documenting bristols neglected reggae heritage we have wanted to release an album that showcases the great talent of one of the local reggae scenes mainstays, joshua moses.
unfortunately, joshua has no copies of the many recording sessions he has done in the years since his first session in 1978, and so it has taken more than eighteen months of painstaking research and the pursuit of numerous leads to gather together the fifteen tracks on >joshua to jashwha - 30 years in the wilderness<. the result is more than worth any effort involved on our part and is as strong a debut album as anyone could wish for, guaranteed to create a buzz among reggae fans worldwide.

part 3 of the drawbar organ ep series

sam cooke, inventor and true king of soul, recorded >mr. soul< in the same year as >night beat< (movlp163), and seems to be its more adult counterpart, with soulful ballads taking up most of the album.
and now, for the first time in over thirty years, music on vinyl is re-issuing >mr. soul< on 180 grams audiophile vinyl with remastered audio.

continuing on from the massive kon 12 inch released on basic fingers we welcome back our good friend kok. on the a side koko delivers a real uplifting feel-good disco/boogie scorcher that will make you wish for those hot summer parties. stay with me by norman connors is perhaps not his most known track but we will guarantee this bad boy will be the prime time number for many djs as koko really takes this track to another level. soulfulness at its very best! on the b-side burning up by imagination has, since its release almost 30 years ago ripped up dancefloors all over with its piano chord hook and a steady bassline. this mix is an updated version with lots more production details and plenty of koko flavour. its already been tried and tested in the basic finger kitchen with an exceptional result.

leave it up to fulvio to bring the heat with >pandemonium<, the latest ep by the wishmaster!bringing hardcore essentials with a solid intent to disturb and destroy, the wishmaster raises the bar to a new level.
dropping kicks and rocking vocals from left to right and back, these beats and melodies are shattering tools for the impatient. brought with italian elegance, >pandemonium< and >oldschool trip< set the stage for some serious dance-floor antics. the 2 upbeat stompers are joined by mid-tempo bash >back 2 classic<. presenting subtle flashbacks from a hardware driven age, neatly packed in an up-to-date statement.
if you had one chance, what would you wish for?

three years after his highly acclaimed 4th album humatron alex krüger aka tigerskin has returned to his dubbier dub taylor moniker, now he is also back on opossum to deliver down and dirty grooves. supported by gel abril, adultnapper, sasch bbc, marquez ill, dj t., roberto rodriguez, sven kerkhoff, alland byallo, simon wish, horatio, danilo schneider, show-b, dan drastic, p.toile, mathias schaffhaeuser, sweet n candy, raresh, martin landsky and many more.

like hardly any other ambassador of modern rhein main house music, christian burkhardt has experienced a true rocket-like takeoff in the last year. burkhardts cocoon debut ep stopover goa has, after one year, still a place of honour in many djs record cases. also his legendary live set in the pouring rain at last years green & blue may belong to the lasting memories of a life dedicated to electronic music. the heidelberg-born producer has already worked for la peña, raum…musik and oslo, and his collaborations with einzelkind and sascha dive became a talking point, too. with his second ep for cocoon, he again sets new standards. theres nobody around who is able to alienate vocals from the collective memory of afro-american culture into a hallucinogenic cocktail without harmful side effects in such a way than burkhardt is. nevertheless, and despite the massive, forward-pushing bass drum and hand claps, he never loses the focus of his soul. so - open your mind, we wish you lots of fun with heart and mind and the considerably acid-like waffles, while the tropical-hypnotic seagull atmosphere of twentysecondcenturydrama already whets the appetite for the upcoming club summer season of 2012.

how do you follow-up last years monster mr.spock? of course with something even more ghetto, more dirty and more fun. lezgo is the 2nd collaboration between justin martin and ardalan, a curious bay area duo of master and apprentice that seems to be magic in the studio. this time they delve deep into the footwork meets house sound delivering cool r&b respites inside mega booty grooves for 3 minutes then letting down the hammer on the kick drum in the finale that kills every time. this is the type of tune that gets everyone moving and smiling and makes you wish you had 10 of them just like it in your bag. i ve played this to every type of crowd from techno chin scratchers to college kids, festival crowds, london know-it-alls, fund raising 40+ year olds, deep house heads, post dubsteppers, basement afterpartiers, hip-hop crews, disco kids and straight up ravers. it works everywhere and thats the sign of a big tune.

it seems like hawkinson has drawn his inspiration from the lush crackling whispering of the woods. akiko seems to see it the same way and with her remix makes a compelling overall package of the second 12 inch by phunkit. >unterholz< is a crisp driving, deep techno roller with playful percussion elements, subtle functionally-held choral dubs and a bass line drily humming to itself. >stillleben< crackles bone-dry and elegantly at the same time, the light melodic phrases form a great contrast to the massive wall of bass. akiko is tinkering a little organic dust monster out of >stillleben<. definitely superb how she is breathing her principle of life into the whole theme, so that you almost wish the track would never end.

if yo like laurent garniers the sound of the big babou you will like this. elsewhere audiovisual independent art platform announce the 2nd issue of their 12 inch series (limited to 333 hand numbered copies) called >tv pet<. title and cover artwork originate from a congruent art performance of elle p.

nachdem der in berlin lebende grieche argy in diesem jahr unter dem projektnamen zodiac free arts club tief in kosmische kraut-welten eingetaucht ist, bleibt er dem münchner label permanent vacation nun treu. auf der >reminiscence ep< erinnert sich der sonst auf labels wie poker flat oder versatile aktive produzent an die aufbruchstimmung der späten 80er und frühen 90er-jahre. >wish you were here< und >tari tari< klingen so, als wären sie der plattenkiste der ibiza-legende alfredo entnommen worden

back on vinyl, nina simone with great jazzy / soul classics on 180g vinyl

we are sure max cooper does not refer here to one of traum boss triple rs favourite writer thomas pynchon but rather connects here to the technical terminus of the parabolic trajectory often mentioned as rainbow-shaped. nevertheless we wish to express that the transgressive quality of max music, does it question or break down the boundaries and categories of western culture and reason, is a challenge we have at traum always aimed at, with tracks that were very far away from the norm in the same way as maxs tracks are.

disco cakes are back for their second release. after the success of the first release they have invited the dancefloor outlaws back and this time have bought some friends with them for another solid packed ep of 4 dancefloor shaking bangers.

for the second and far overdue release on his little leaf imprint matt moroder delivers a superlative psychedelic reimagination of shuggie otis which sits far beyond the realm of your blog standard ableton edit. matt scliced the original into little pieces put it new together and added some drums and percussion with the respect this soul classic deserves. this rework is hypnotizing makes you wish to never end. on the flip hamburgs hardest working entertainer erobique used the same kind of gentleness to rework some cello and voice by one of the greates disco visionaries and songwriters that left us much to early. by creating a dirty mpc beat and blend it with vocals and cello erobique creates his own vision of the late arthur russell far from the average four too the floor mediocrity. this vinyl only release is strictly limited to 300 copies and shines even more with a splendid artwork that shows love and care

upfront final copies only at decks.de !!! friendship and the love of good music is what brought mike machine and sirion records together for this special ep. mike machine has quite a wide-ranging horizon of musical experience - from member of a band, student of music & media, video & audio artist, label member, promoter/organizer to dj in clubs. mike has the curiosity and the urge to create in any area of musical creativity and transfers this in exciting and thrilling ways each time anew in his productions. designed multi-variantly, based on an original rhythm and fashioned with individually created elements joker immerses the listener into a world full of energetic surprises. the repetitive, flowing foundation most definitely guarantees a gripping experience in mikes machine. david labeij chose not to play a joker when we met recently and luckily the remix resulted in a quite atypical style thanks to the quite euphoric surrounding. we most surely like it!

g.i.disco - an 80s history of cold war s hottest music in west-germany berlin local dj heroes kalle kuts and daniel w. best a.k.a. g.i.disco have compiled an excellent 80s soul, funk, r & b and disco selection. it combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the german historical background (which also is an important part of 20th century s world history), international artist quotes and worldwide renowned art by berlin based photographer frank thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. soul, funk and r&b from the us became a worldwide dance and clubbing movement during the 70s when it turned disco. in the late 70s and 80s more and more new electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines were added to the horn riffs and piano licks, bringing the funk back on the dance floor while still leaving it s soul untouched. although a global success story, it played an interesting role especially in the german experience. lp comes in gatefold sleeve.

this new record, drawing clouds, focuses on the raw techno aspect of andres production. never forgetting the more dubby textures and winding electrics so dear to the argentine master of wizardry, he creates yet another enthralling landscape right at the first seconds of the title track. as the maelstrom wraps around your mind, the unbeatable rhythms and fast-pace of the flip space mountain wallop your body for a tremendous trek. following the extremely favorable outcome of greeners first 12 inch, leonel castillos >el nino<, andres zacco pictures here the kind of journey we could only wish no end for.

bosco delrey is at once a thick combination of influences and a totally unique voice in current music. diplo describes him as >a sort of garbage can elvis from new jersey... teaspoon craziness, a pinch of rockabilly, and full cup of soul dressed in a leather jacket. he cant be topped as far as song writing... hes doin the music i wish i could if i had bought a guitar<, the fader called his song >round n round hillbillyhall, and boscos own myspace says >jerry lee lewis carol king of pop<. but whatever you call him, bosco delrey is making music that is instantly accessible, totally cool, and unlike anything else on our wide-sweeping mad decent radar.

if there is someone who recently has influenced and enriched the deep and tech house scene massively you can only mention one name called >gorge<! his imprint >8 bit<, many coproductions with nick curly, plenty of timeless remixes for steve lawler, chelonis r. jones and solumun, his big club hit >cassiande< on freerange and now his debut album >mood<, all these things have heavily improved why he is one of the most demanded producers in thw world of house music. after all these things, it was gorges great wish to deliver a high quality package of three assorted amazing house pieces for his buddy and friend marc romboy and his systematic imprint. and here they are..
