for the past four decades, a growing cult of soul music collectors have sought two obscure lps and a handful of extremely rare 45s released on the vanity record label lad productions, inc. between the late seventies and the mid eighties by the mysterious south side chicago singer/song writer larry dixon. larry s raw songs capture the transition from r&b to boogie-down as disco was rapidly becoming extinct. they also perfectly illustrate larrys ability to overcome his environment and discrimination, transcended by his determination to write and produce music. with the support of his faithful musicians, larrys success was only hindered by lack of airplay and promotion, but his talent shines through. this is the story of larry dixon, his label lad productions, inc., and his friends and family throughout four decades of music in chicagos toughest neighborhoods. jerome derradji is proud to reactivate past due records the boogie funk division of still music to release this fantastic archive what many consider to be the holy grail of chicago funk, boogie and soul.

after a string of releases in 2016, french journeyman and beat craftsman hugo lx returns on balance recordings with his first house long player. supposedly designed as a more traditional 3-tracks offering, the project progressively turned into a two parts album, reflecting on past, present and future events through organic electronic music, with the loss of a dear friend and men­tor as the turning point. instead of a contemplative tribute piece, this effort focuses on storytelling, narrating crucial life moments through various song and interlude formats, colours and musical styles, producing a vaporous yet funky, jazzy and hiphop infused house music, flirting with soulful atmospheres and ambiant elec­tronic textures.

mono junk’s cult label dum records is back with a new five track various artists ep that again packs a vital punch. he appears himself along with some fellow legends of the scene. first up, morpholgy is a consistent performer who has continued to serve up quality electro since 2009 and here serves up a hot new piece. ‘vector plant’ is busy and industrial, slick and metallic as it unfolds and burrows deep into your veins. then comes the a2, irwin berg featuring freestyle man (aka finnish moodmusic boss sasse aka klas lindblad) with a track made in 1995 and never released before. this pair worked together and made a cult electro record for sähkö recordigs in 1998 and this one is just as impactful. it is frosty and frazzled, slow motion but high impact and full of distorted lines and heavy drums. next is mr velcro fastener who were the first kings of electro to come out of finland and between 1999 and 2006 were famous all over the world. their brand new cut ‘almost there’ is a deep one that is riddled with bleeping melodies and has smeared chords bringing a sci-fi feel. then it is mono junk’s turn to dive into the vaults with an unreleased track from 2005. ‘feeling or destroy’ is a physical number with crashing hits and snaking, gurgling bass that is dark and dystopian. last of all comes irwin berg with mono junk as new york city survivors. says the dum boss, “our unreleased track here was made after the new york city survivors – static light cd 2002” and it is a turbo charged track with screwed up grinding bass, icy hi hat rhythms and menace in its grooves.

death on the balcony s ‘tides of fortune has been the subject of relentless -track id- requests pleading us to reveal the name of the artist and track since be-at-tv streamed the bpm performance of lee burridge and matthew dekay back in 2015. joined on the ep by three other tracks there s a cohesive feel to the two friends vibe. mysterious melodies drift in and out of the hypnotic grooves on rivers of sound that could have soundtracked a star trek episode from the original series. 1700 miles is delicate and deep with a simple infectious vocal sample. don t be deceived though. when played on a club system the kick drum and bassline draw you in while the atmospheric elements send the listener to otherworldly places. we feel rather privileged as this track is mark’s first solo outing from dotb under his new moniker “caramelli” and dotbs first full length on all day i dream. mark’s back in the band for memories of the future which completes the release with its funky bass and trippy ambience. close your eyes and be transported.

following the success of their 4th album malamore released in april this year, french duo the limiñanas have now trusted london star dj, producer and friend andrew weatherall to remix the flagship single garden of love (feat. peter hook). the collaboration has resulted in two unique remixes. when we released je ne suis pas tres drogue in 2009, andrew played it in his radio show in london. then bernie fabre contacted me because andrew wanted us to play in his festival de la city a la cité in carcassone. thats how we met. when we worked with peter hook, the idea of a maxi with one or two remixes made sense. so we did this record with the original edit of garden of love and two remix edits by andrew weatherall. - lionel liminana

als weiterer höhepunkt eines unglaublichen laufs, der letztes jahr mit sicko (kompakt 322) und you are a blade (kompakt 343) begann, präsentiert der uk-produzent und langjährige kompakt-vertraute rex the dog zwei brandneue knaller auf teufelsberg, ein perfekter spagat zwischen dem kraftvollen, melodieverliebten techno seiner früheren produktionen und dem rohen, muskulösen stil mit analogem biss, welcher seinen aktuellen output charakterisiert. letzteres sollte nicht verwundern, ist rex doch zunehmend in do-it-yourself synthesizer-design abgetaucht und baut inzwischen modulare gerätschaften für seine studio und bühnenbelange selbst. das titelstück teufelsberg startet schlank und sehnig, dreht mit treibenden beats und einer simplen, aber schwer effektiven bassline schnell den hahn auf, der wahre star ist hier jedoch eine mitreissende melodie, die wie in zeitlupe über die gesamte lauflänge des tracks explodiert, dank ungemein malerischer synthesizerklänge die auch vor radikalen breaks nicht zurückschrecken. währenddessen keilt die rückseite mit einer ordentlichen portion rave auf dem industrial-beeinflussten shortwave aus erneut ein unermüdlicher techno-schieber zur besten sendezeit, der sowohl monumental als auch verspielt kann.

new years deal - 10 years of thema is not a milestone we take lightly, and we have absolutely no intention of slowing down. in fact we will be celebrating with a string of releases commemorating this accomplishment starting with this ep and going through to our 50th release with an all star line up ready for battle. sometimes there is a sound that lifts you so high you can’t possibly come down. its the kind of sound that many strive for, but few can ever reach. uk mainstay aubrey has been hitting this pinnacle for years through his releases on renowned imprints such as metroplex, ostgut ton, and skudge, as well as his very own solid groove records. * the reflection* ep comes as no exception. as only a dj and producer of his stature can do, aubrey goes above and beyond to take the listener through a spectrum of moods that culminate in a rounded and complex experience. from the uplifting, fast paced pads in *peligro 45* to the disorienting rhythmic voodoo of * roger doger* and peak energy drive of * train to the fire* there is a sense of direction and otherworldly ambiance that will take any dance floor to the place it needs to be

terrific record! eight charged, intimate meditations by julie normal and olivier demeaux, playing a rickety ondes martenot and an old church harmonium. gripping, detailed, stately improvisation — a bit like the ùrlars in classical bagpipe music — which nervily mixes the sternly doom-laden with precarious, other-worldly wonderment. (the ondes martenot is an amazing twentieth-century instrument — beloved by messiaen, for example, and varese. the theme-song of star trek is a vocal forgery of its sound. ‘j’aime cette fragilité qui côtoie la capacité de te décoller le tympan sur certaines fréquences inopinément,’ says julie. ‘je tiens une bombe dans les mains. j’aime son instabilité, son humanité.’) wood, breath, blood, eggshells… on the night of a purple moon. very warmly recommended.
