daniele baldelli producer now has nothing to envy to the daniele baldelli dj. this is demonstrated by the authoritativeness of the first two 12inch of six of the series cosmic temple on mondo groove label. what strikes the eye are the covers, with fluorescent colors, which will form a patchwork created by aldo drudi (the designer of valentino rossi), a large mosaic that interprets garish aesthetics/logo cosmic. but immediately then the music takes the stage, 3 tracks in chapter 1 and 3 tracks in chapter 2, able to tell the true mood of the imaginary baldellis sound and take them to a land of wonders. chapter 3: gandarva switching from a balearic atmosphere to an interstellar space travel.in kosmaro the voice of monica giacomobono describes a sleepless night traveling delirious on the notes of the keyboard played ricky burattini (justofunk) which then

six tracks make up jauzas the shining s latest vinyl offering. brutal basslines stand, arms folded, in front of snapping snares, distorted notes bucking under immense mechanic pulses. to help drop the temperatures, to push the punishment, dynarec and raw jay have been drafted in to add their own eclipsed emotions to the mix. dark skies, brimming with rain and heavy metals hover across this record, pin pricks of light piercing the charcoal heaven before diving back into the ink-stained sonic psyche of jauzas.

hailing from florida, the brookside imprint have dug deep into the master tapes and let nyc master-mixer mike maurro loose on a couple of stone cold classics! maurro, a queens based dj and mixer since 1986 has become one of the top remixers out there today with his own, faithful takes on numerous dance classics from the last 30+ years. here he lends his magic touch to a pair of well loved club classics while adding his own original flavour. dan hartman s -vertigo/relight my fire- is up first on side-a, featuring the unmistakable vocals of nyc diva loleatta holloway. maurro s mix brings the vocals in earlier, dubbing them out creating a super trippy atmosphere with a slightly different musical arrangement over the course of almost 14 minutes! on side-b, we have the legendary evelyn -champagne- king s -shame-, with a slightly longer, beat led intro for the dj s. a true extended mix with a slightly different arrangement maurro s mix of this classic is a killer. beautifully faithful and mixed with love and an understanding of the dancefloor and the classics! these mixes are essential for any disco/soul/funk fans out there, unmissable for the dj s, legitimately remastered and pressed onto high quality 12- singles in conjunction with all rights holders

2016 is suppose to see 2 more release from bordel ensemble, with new talent and world to discover
london based imprint bordel ensemble (limited series only) is back after one year with yet another ep by lodee gruv, alias of one of the label’s founder. the second release is stamped 003 as the bordel002 will be a compilation of music by all the artists of the label coming out later in 2016. two side / three tracks ep. on side a, lodee gruv confirms once again his style with an atmospheric raw and floor friendly 8 minutes rhythm . on side b he takes it up a notch with 95% analog generated drums and baseline groove toped by a progression of 3 notes sample melody leading to an slightly emotional pattern. the second track of side b is a lodee gruv signature, deeper and tripier somehow with samples twicked into different elements backed up by a gimmick changing low end drums. definitely a journey into lodee gruv’s mind and bordel ensemble spirit.

alexander ridha, besser bekannt als boys noize, meldet sich mit mayday zurück. auf seinem bislang dynamischsten werk führt ridha alles, was ihn geprägt hat, so konsequent zusammen wie noch nie.mayday verbindet die energie und den geist des punk mit der kraft des modernen techno und der frühen tage des rave, und transportiert die unschuld einer vergangenen Ära in die jetztzeit, ohne jemals anachronistisch oder nostalgisch zu klingen. kollaborationen mit polica, hudson mohawke, benga, remy banks, spank rock und so manchem geheimen gast (es lohnt sich die liner notes zu lesen) erweitern das spektrum.ich versuche mich immer selbst zu überraschen, als produzent und dj. etwas neues zu schaffen, etwas, was ungewiss ist, das hat für mich den grössten reiz sagt ridha. mayday steht repräsentativ für eine generation, der genre-grenzen nicht mehr viel bedeuten. musik ist spannend, wenn sie gut ist. und das gilt auch für mayday

following eps for creme organization and w.t. records, art crime delivers a four tracker of meltingly good music on pinkman records. chords cascade, blending and reforming, in the warming wonder of still life , dead carnation is from a similar place. keys skipping down scales, dancing down them as percussion lends a touch of weight. distant is the mood changer. rain falls, smoke whirls and the night descends in this dark and intoxicating encounter. but those clouds part for the close. lush pads and soaring notes break through for calming currents of the less than aptly titled hectic . an artist rewriting stereotypes, an ep of true quality.

ostgut ton reissues neun of zehn with original tracks by ben klock and ryan elliott as well as len faki revisiting rainbow delta. 2015 marked ostgut tons ten-year anniversary, celebrated with an extensive 30 track compilation release, titled ostgut ton | zehn, spread out over ten 12inch vinyl records housed inside a limited box set. this sampler sold out in no time, which is why ostgut ton is re-issuing these ten 12inches individually in 2016. without any doubt, the best klubnacht moments are when dancers let go in trance not peak time, not big hitters, its the subtle nuances that matter. ben klocks first solo production in six years on a internalises this formula: a simple beat, pulsing sirens, a shimmering melody, some sprinkling flute notes and ben’s your uncle. sirens is a pure, hypnotic cut, shrewd and stylish. on b1 ryan elliott underlines why he has been playing both of berghains floors regularly: smith lake is somewhere along the lines of micro techno/macro house, something living inbetween musical worlds and floors, combining tribalist bongo percussion with ethereal synth pads and a delicate bassline. is it safe to say that rainbow delta is a modern classic? because it is! on b2 len faki revisits his 2007 release in form of a stripped-down, bare-naked and intimate ambient version. a modern classic, turned seren

a1 nubian mindz - deep in raves: well known for his versatile and rich production, colin delivers once more. with a quite suitable name - deep in raves is just that. a deep plunge into dark and rave-like atmosphere. after a short intro layered with an ominous voice, massive bassline takes over and drives the track through the darkest curves. enriched with short percussions and a synth stab this is quite a stomper best experienced on a good club soundsystem, preferably in the dark. a2 volster - nebula: almost obsessed with audio purity, volster manages to combine new and modern sounds with old-school genre roots. nebula is all about complexity. although it is based on an electro foundations, it s so much more. space filled with an oscillatory synth motion perplexed with smooth pads that gives the impression of an interstellar properties. no detail is left unengaged, from the 808 that keeps everything in motion to the subtle amount of panning. this is a beautifully crafted story by a producer who is slowly but steadily growing into one of the best croatian artists. b1 lucretio - dracula: the most famed beard of cadoneghe/italy has pulled another magic gem from his music source. widely known for his relentless tendency to push the analogue spectrum to it s extreme, lucretio surprises once more with his ability to blend simple pieces into an effective sub storm with almost comic like features. dracula is not your conventional tune and it s pretty obvious why as soon as you put the needle on. broke down rhythm is heavily fueled by polished but enormous sub background with sparse and ¥in your face¥ shots. seemingly random notes take a gloomy and powerful form during the break and soon the lurky atmosphere comes into picture. this is truly brilliance in it s full simplicity. if only bram stoker could hear this, he would probably be both stunned and amused! b2 james booth - jxst do it: one of our goals on vakum is to be on a lookout for a new and promising talents. berlin based james booth surely fits the bill. jxst do it is a seriously crafted track with rich rhythmic section wrapped in a steady build up. after the initial break-beat intro sliced in short chunks, subtle 303 bassline takes over and the rhythmic game begins. booth delivers a perfectly timed cuts accompanied by a diverse palette of percussions. this is a perfect piece for those build up moments in the club..

mister ho and heap are ambassadors of the river danube. this is their first offering for the esp institute. on side a, collision resistance throws us into the bowels of an underground sex lair with an adrenaline-laden heartbeat for a kick drum, a rough dose of fisting illustrated by the combination of bassline with low-tom and an unrelenting snare that whips us raw into submission. somewhere in between the waves of punishment we can start to audibly pick up tortured moans of endurance and pleasure, but maybe its time we pull our minds from the gutter, wipe the sweat from our brow and flip the record for a reward. with side b’s veils of the beloved, mister ho & heap deliver us via speedboat to the white isle, coasting along to bouncy staccato bass notes and machine bleeps as a euphoric chord progression puts us in an 808 state of mind. the percussion arrangement and phasing string flourishes are introduced through a filter, opening slowly as if coming up for air from a beautiful blue abyss. these two songs are neither too salty nor too sweat

the 1978 record, which goes for up to $800 on the collectors market, comes with a lore all its own. the liner notes explain that at the time of its recording, davis was suffering from personal turmoil and a head full of memories from the vietnam war. the infamous jonestown, guyana mass murder occurred two days before the recording session and weighed heavily on his consciousness. the resulting electronic score would garner attention from legendary motor city dj electrifying mojo. in the early 80s, davis performed as 3070 in cybotron alongside juan atkins, laying the groundwork for detroit techno and electro with cuts like alleys of your mind. despite successful cybotron albums released on fantasy records, davis spent time penniless and abandoned in a v.a. hospital. the new 12inch version of methane sea was cut to lacquer straight from the original master tapes. davis currently lives in ypsilanti, michigan and works with music videos, fractal designs and cgi.

an atlantic crossover brings together detroits stingray313 and glasgows galaxian for a very special 12. more collaboration than split, the ep sees each artist fly solo as well as combining their admirable analogue abilities. pressures are high from the outset, galaxian twists and teases patterns in the reverbing reverence of storm coming. bpms surge as the two merge for the cold nu-1000. lilting notes ghost between rasping rhythms. and it is around such racing drums that warmth flows, as in the meandering softness of graphene. beats dont abate as stingray takes the helm for the blistering bass of dopant

part two of fhloston paradigm (aka king britt) beautiful cosmosis ep series starts with the haunting broken techno of nimoy, bass line and subtle piano gently modulating over scissoring drum machines and dubbed out claps, the switches in rhythm and the layers of chugging drums catching you off beat. the track builds into a heart-tugging melody, the drums breaking up under it s force. return is a pure analogue brain massage of a track, a deep space exploration of undulating arpeggios and shimmering emotive notes. the hour finishes the record, slow building waves of melody and chords, shimmer and swell, the repetition and addition of a mournful bass line consolidate the emotional energy of the track.

inmensamente (immensely) is the first vinyl release by lanoche and the first reference on so unreal, a new vinyl-only label based in madrid. this three-track ep opens with two deep house tracks ( te quiero and extasis ) on the a side and closes with the fourteen-minute-long inmensamente on its b side, an atmospheric lo-fi house composition which the ep takes its name from. lanoche is a project where ambient and experimental sounds converge with atmospheric techno and deep house, finding inspiration in the output of labels like mille plateaux, force inc music works, ~scape, faitiche, mule musiq, soul people music, deepblak, deep explorer, finale sessions, aesthetic audio, smallville, dial / laid, underground quality, plan b recordings, dolly, fxhe, echocord, sistrum, strength music, mojuba or something. with inmensamente , lanoche has produced a rare blend of abstraction, introspection and hedonism, carefully distilled into the enticing notes of an underground club sound.

the frosts of finland are blasted away by the radiate synthesizer sunlight of surf dancer! rich analogue textures are supported by surf dancer s love of the vocoder, computer-spoken lyrics twirling amidst addictive melodies and clean-cut beats. sweet notes and even sweeter words swirl in this world of ray guns, unicorns and of course rainbows. strings soar skyward in the elation of -rainbow man- before the sleek funk of -rocket in my pocket-. joy pours from the needle drop, instant happiness and body moving music from start to finish, the end coming in the xylophonic goodness of future in the night-.

ian blevins is the keeper of the jewel in the crown. this is his second offering for the esp institute. picking up right where we left off, side a unleashes another explosive big room belter with resume a driving rhythmic monster that takes advantage of the whips and cracks in ian’s drum machine arsenal, while warm chords lay a foundation for a quirky lead melody and rubbery pulse to dance upon. akin to hannibal, blevins esp institute debut in 2015, the arrangement here toys with us before revealing the true guts of the track—this time characterized halfway through by a punctuating gangster piano hook. on side b, poor old head utilizes ian’s signature drum styling we’ve come to adore, but here he establishes swells of melancholy via bending notes that meow and purr, beautifully ebbing and flowing though an array of incongruous dial tones and bells—shakey and barely out of sync, yet cradling a loosely drawn chord progression. these two songs will smack you up before they rub you down.

the organ grinder mints his new record label with a bulked up reissue of a gem from his back catalogue that will make djs - and dancers - very happy. far from throwaway, this is music rooted in the 90s us garage sound of kerri chandler, masters at work and early todd edwards, with the intensity of true deep house and the light rhythmic touch of ukg. obsession originally came out almost 5 years ago, but there s simplicity in its skittering rhythm and a mantra of rising minor-note synth hits that keep it burning into the dancefloor. x rated hits like its inverted counterpart, with a more heavily weighted drum groove and garage stabs that spiral down your spine. physicality finishes the ep with cunningly-sampled soul music, sung notes of passion belted out over a tense background of keys and rhodes chords, weaving an atmosphere that only comes out of expertly woven harmony

damien lynch is a gentleman youve met in a past life. emerging with this debut, he steps nicely into a home at the esp institute. on side a, we‘re invited to the heights, a transcendent state where the negative space between the notes is equally as important as his lush instrumentation. damiens build-up of warm analogue machines twinkle and stab, leading way to a memorable hook, a squelching chord melody full of live nuance and energy. on side b, safe house plays out a similar theme in terms of arrangement, however, the ethereal space damien creates with the kalimba and driving arpeggios elevates us to an even higher plane, where his lead floats gracefully across the stereo spectrum, blanketing the fast-paced rhythms with a calming sense of purity. were serious when we say that these two songs will guide you toward enlightenment.

he/at returns to his own label with four uncompromising workouts. rough beats, razor sharp synth work and booming bass merge to form this ep. taking cues from the harder fringes of chicago house and straight up detroit techno, this ep is as eclectic as it is tough.

mastermaster kicks things off and drives a shifting sequence through a lo-fi break, plodding piano notes and a clipped, lively vocal hook before -bruce wayne- melds spring reverb and squelching flangers to treat guitar riffs and more 80s drums. eerily wobbling synths shimmer over head before -hornet green- drives a sprung kick under tense, soundtrack synth tones and a sandy shuffle as a cinematic pursuit is rendered. -valium- then sets sultry vocals floating through more hazy drum breaks and softly shifting chords. rhythmic variation and more vintage effects wade in and round off off a refreshing package of rich and intriguing gems and another fine addition to the charlois series.
