voyeur aka benson herbert and leo picking, are the young pair that broke through back in february 2012 with a remix of bombay bicycle club. soon after kerri chandler invited them to release on his madhouse and madtech imprints. before long the uk duo were sharing booths with the likes of frankie knuckles, masters at work, dennis ferrer and cassy. i album sampler is a limited ep of the more dancefloor friendly tracks which kicks off with the captivating production lost in paris . the a2 sees long beach island feat. kerri chandler with rippling drums and numerous mesmerising nuances merged together. on the flip patron saint generates a low-slung groove from start to finish, that features label head honcho kerri chandler. last but not least sees the tribal percussion and soaring synths of nina

even though “darkness on the edge of ecstasy” is the first album by jonatan bäckelie under his given name, the singer from gothenburg is not a newcomer at all. under the moniker ernesto he already released four rather jazzy longplayers. as pinku vääty or jong tan bäckelie takes care exclusively of his electronic productions. and over the last few months and years he collected international acclaim as a gifted guest singer. for example on alex barck s debut (“reunion”) on sonar kollektiv.

supported by oscar mulero, jonas kopp, the advent, zadig, blawan, pfirter. the fifth release on dimi angelis angls label is here, featuring four original tracks. opener eye of the storm v1 is all about its hook. powerful yet playful, its loopy nature masks raw, driving techno hiding underneath. a foundation that is also very much present in electric tree. the second banger on this side of the ep almost sounds like analog equipment in conversation with itself. trippy, moving and constantly changing. on the flipside, speed boarding is growling lead synth propels the track forward, opening up and showing a glimpse of its contained grit every now and then. closing down the four-tracker, eye of the storm v2 trades some of the raw feel of its a-side counterpart for a more introvert, subtle vibe, making it.

the motorcity boys are back with loveit003 a fresh sounding 4 tracker strongly reflecting the diversity of styles found at their parties. lds kicks thing off with 909 to heaven, a jacking and balearic workout with a rootstrax, chicago style bassline keeping the floor hypnotised until the small hours of the morning. snares, kicks & rhodes is a more laid back jam. lazy warm pads and a slow winding sub bass rise and fall intermittently only to be interrupted by a lo-fi distorted bass that snaps you right out of that trance. nico brun opens the flip side with an absolute banger, hazily reminiscent of that 90’s warehouse rave. lds and nico brun close the ep with an atmospheric collaboration perfect to start or end the night with. splashy beats keep up the footwork whilst pulsating synth sounds slowly wind together and drop with a beautifully crafted sample that’s guaranteed to bring some sexyness back to the dance floor. this ep will definitely be a regular addition to your record bag to spread those warm summer party sounds. bruno farace early support: xdb (echochord / dolly): debut ep? congrats! end monologue is my favourite.

having previously turned out some refined club tracks for friendly neighbourhood label banoffee pies, christian jay comes to idle hands for his debut solo 12inch. as revealed in our past support of artists such as i.a. bericochea and matt karmil, an appreciation of the finer end of the minimal house and techno spectrum weighs heavy at idle hands hq, and christian embodies everything good about the micro-genre. the stylistic approach on this single is consistent across both tracks, fusing shuffling, 2-step fuelled drum patterns with blissful atmospheric content in a most natural of ways. on 117 this manifests in a more flamboyant end result peppered with playful hi-hat tones and delicate melodic licks, while on contrail the mood is resolutely low-end focused with some choice bass touches in amongst the tightly wound funk of the beat. what makes jay s efforts stand out is their immersive finish, using dexterous doses of dub processing to create a quintessentially bristolian mood while retaining the razor-sharp edges of upfront european minimal. its a tone that speaks to limbering up at the start of the party, or shaking down deep into the morning. that said, we could listen to this all day and night.

the kloom surfaced one night in dusseldorf through members of autarkic, naduve, stabil elite and more. this is what they have to say about it: -kloom, in hebrew, nothing. the kloom were not a one-day-band. they did it because it was there, all around them. whether we like it or not, the kloom surrounds us, envelopes us, makes us confess that it really exists. and you, sitting now in front of this screen, you are literally touching the kloom, an illusion that in its exceptional complexity makes you feel like you have the option of joining the other 20.000 newcomers. who will be credited for future kloom productions? no one knows. is there even a point in that sort of thing? it just doesnt really matter, because its too fun to bath in kloom

spazio records brings more swedish goodness in the form of three pulsating techno workouts from east coast mastermind edmundy. previously released on iconic borft records, he now delivers three fresh and singular cuts of raw jacking techno. open your mind and explore!

obsidian mornings,
sniffing quivering needs.
dawn keeps falling,
entraps me as before,
but from thy solitary grace
thou comest now no more.

svs returns with a supremely crafted 5 track ep from munich s david goldberg. channeling early 2000s electronica and more contemporary styles, goldberg delivers a solid slice of sonic pleasure.

mr. g extends his ever growing discography with another full length album. “a good place..?” comes as a 2x12” package which includes 10 tracks which range from signature mr. g style drum track cuts with the usual vocal cuts to somewhat more “dubbed out” bits and funky disco tainted dance floor bits. “a good place..?” proves to be the perfect follow up to last year’s “night on the town?” with mr. g showcasing his versatile skill set whilst thoroughly molding the tracklist into the feel of an album.

correspondant can finally reveal the release of the remixes for man powers debut lp, which was released last year on correspondant. a year in the making, the remix package features artists and friends hand-picked by both jennifer cardini and man power himself. disco halals moscoman remixes the baggy splendour of beilsteiner, creating a rolling and belching extended opus more focused toward the peak time dance floor. hivern discs jmii takes hunting swan and turns it inside out, exploring space with a cerebral, schizophrenic quality. alternatively, pale blue (mike simonetti) takes boys beware and re-imagines it as an aggressive drum workout. completing the package, suade, the artist who also mastered the original album, replaces ten’s balearic leanings with an idm sensibility, yet still retains the optimism of the original track. all 4 remixes manage to exist as distinct works in their own right, while paying homage to the magpie approach of the original long player.

the purpose of dm001 was to create a versatile compilation of tracks with the idea of exploring the limitless boundaries of electronic music. for the labels first release it was fortunate enough to work with an array of talented producers from all over the world. each of which has their own defining sound. dm001 is a non profit release, both vinyl and digital, with the digital release containing more tracks. all profits made from this release will be donated to the international rescue committee in efforts to aid syrian refugees.

its the music of the space that extends between oceans and mountain slopes. its the music of the space that is much bigger and much more adventurous than the four walls of a club look like. its the latest record on acker, and it orbits around a song from il civetto. the band from berlin is a wonderfully multicultural bunch. their sound is reminiscent of gypsy, folk or swing, but at the same time it doesnt really fit any of these labels. liberté ana is a perfect example. monolink turns this track into a groovy downbeat tune that vibrates much higher than its low bpm count - the perfect soundtrack for laid-back afternoons or afterhours. pophop does what he does best: party. however, between the catchy bassline and the tight percussions of his remix theres still a lot of space for the soul of liberté ana. umami goes even further and creates an ecstatic banger that has everything it takes to be played during the prime time on the dance floor.

ltd to 300 , already support by jeremy underground, flabaire, phil asher, olivier portal, cedric sabras, dj caspa…..

new years deal - the next chapter in the creme organization ecplise series comes from cosmic garden with three original tracks and one remix from orgue electronique. little is known about cosmic garden other than he is from southern italy and has had two eps out in 2016, one on hotmix and one on cosmic rhythm. he heads out the blocks here with reptilian treant , six minutes of lo-fi deep house that is roomy and atmospheric. lazy synths bring soul and a gentle chatter of claps and hits helps drive it along. rare centaur is also way below the surface but is darker and more celestial, with turbulent bass, frantic claps and angelic chords glowing like a white light at the end of a tunnel. dutch house and electro don orgue electronique then remixes reptilian treant into something that is slick and serene, with metallic lines dancing above rubbery drums as big piano chords boucle up top. it is joyous and colourful and truly majestic before final track apocalyptic moose takes us back down into a mournful house vibe that echoes chicago with its roughhewn analogue textures and lovestruck chords.

berlin based adam marshall and christian andersen collaborate as graze. in the latest installment of our ufo series, the dekmantel records offshoot dedicated to experimental and futuristic electronic music, the canadian veteran producers serve up a 50/50 lethal/dreamy drum trax package. many have applauded the versatility of graze, and their xup ep is yet more proof of their original minds. xup is an abstract 4/4 jugular, beating out devious percussive patterns and rattling hi-hats over a grizzled and arpeggiated synth mortar-fire. vast on the other hand is an esoteric slow-burner, a hallucinatory trip to the depths of analog synth paradise and a perfect intro, outro or home listening gem. on the flip, the hyper-lean gearshift of tryptch pumps energy through off-kilter and plunderphonic basslines, while shadow play’is a classic piece of breakbeat bliss including a celestial synth arrangement that makes a perfect soundtrack for slow-speed sci-fi rides.

following up our previous daniel sanchez release, we are more than proud to have for this one the impropmtu remixes ep edition which includes 4 fantastic remixes by nima gorji, martinez, doubtingthomas and faster.

lord of the isles, a.k.a. neil mcdonald, has spent the better part of a decade steadily producing and releasing beautiful music. the esp institute has always wholeheartedly believed in neil’s work ethic and his journey as an artist who constantly refines his vision, and when we inevitably approached in hopes of working together, we were enamoured by the sheer breadth and depth of work he had in progress’. there are two types of artists. one internalises their process, endlessly perfecting their work while finding the endpoint a massive hurdle, in turn they produce immaculate yet very little art. the other is continuously inspired, so full of ideas they can barely work fast enough to articulate them all. the art becomes by-product of their larger trajectory and not just a collection of endpoints. lord of the isles seems to be both, always in an evolving state of process where the work is constantly shed to make way for the new layer growing beneath, yet he holds his cards closely, cherry picking when and with whom he releases his art into the world. neil is simply prolific. he shared with us a vast catalog of unheard beauty, which over a long span of time was collaboratively shaped into his debut album “in waves”. the title speaks to neil’s process both intimately and from afar, it speaks to the emotional ebb and flow of the music itself, and ultimately it speaks to the listener. ahead of the album’s release, we are proud to share with you the single ‘weh-in’, a mesmerizing arpeggio melody that opens and closes, purrs and barks, and plays nicely with its percussive accompaniment over more than 10 minutes. this lengthy single version of the track is joined by a dark and stormy, exclusive non-album cut entitled ‘pik’, as well as a big room rave remix by esp institute resident ian blevins, which take us to a slightly more frantic place while retaining the euphoric essence of the original.

this excellent four-track offering is the italian pairings third ep on curle, following on from blue aconite in 2013 and same mistake twice last year, which garnered them support from techno heavyweights such as sven väth, laurent garnier and efdemin.

fuse co-founder enzo siragusa steps up for productions duties once more with his hard steppers ep. flexin kicks things off with a pared down groover of a track simplicity is the key here, all the elements combining beautifully for a deadly hypnotic head nodder. jump up once again harnesses enzo s jungalist past with a typical rave-inflected, monstrous b-line underpinning the brisk percussive nature of the track, a real treat for lovers of the black wax as the track is strictly vinyl only.

daniel meuzard aka feater originally hails from a small mountain village in the western austrian alps. the music producer with north african roots calls vienna his home for quite some time now. for more than ten years he has been involved in electronic music and working with analog synthesizers and classic tape recording. as an owner of a studio equipment shop he was able to get his hands on a wide variety of equipment. experimenting with different instruments and recording techniques helped him to develop his own musical ideas. in 2013 he released the 7inch vinyl single digital love on paradeis garage. in february 2015 he recorded his debut album waste the time on a 8track tape recorder and finalized it together with the producer and recording engineer sam irl in the summer of 2015. as a member of the finishgermanaustrian group skymax (along with stilettiana & sam irl) he released the vinyl ep trucker trans on his own label called international major label

belgian producer joris biesmans (aka cashmere* and benn lian) delivers a counterweight to the fast food music that ram-raids its way into todays mainstream consciousness, with a project named tve - the virtual escape indicating his urge to escape from todays data-saturated, musicas mass-industrial-product environment. musically, tve aims for an aesthetic ambush incorporating strange & self-made hardware instruments, tape machines, non-standard structures, atonal abstraction, noise, distortion and randomness - openly embracing imperfections instead of smoothing them out with calibrated presets & templates. to this end, tve has brought two masters of this approach on board for the labels debut ep and with creme organization alumni legowelt and asok bringing forth their own inimitable style on remixes of biesmans delightfully askew original productions. keep an eye out for more engaging oddities on future tve releases to come. early support from: massimiliano pagliara, tim sweeny, ambivalent, lando

munich pair jorkes continue to build a nice head of steam with a third new single. entitled mindemania, it comes once more on the small but well formed freeride millenium label with a great remix from nikkname.

over half a year has passed since loz s last outing on brooklyn s razor n tape but he s back on a solo tip with this 4 tracker of slightly deeper and more synth-driven cuts than we ve been used to this year from the man. slap dancer sets the tone with punchy drum & sample hits, easily the most club oriented of the bunch. duplicity sees loz back on that slightly funkier sound we have come to know of recent times, but with a little added dustiness. flavour adds a little extra sprinkling of dust with it s rolling drums and chords - proper chillin basement tackle. be sure to check that b2 cut sunset vista for that slow, machine driven & synthed out acid jam as well.

channeling the spirit of moodymann, rick wilhite and other such detroit house greats, guilhem monin follows up on the promise of his debut for colors last year with this sizzling slice of rough hewn deep house gold where the samples stay locked in the groove and the atmosphere of the room is captured forever on the record. -social music- would surely not sound out of place on kdj, while -i plan to stay a believer- calls upon the warming tones of rick wade et al amidst an irresistible 909 house bump. -vlg- gets a little more sassy with its choppy edit style, and then -people- brings in a fist-pumping riff to hit the sweet spot later in the night.

alan arbelaez makes his first outing on vinyl, launching the keepers of the wild label with a forthright selection of rave minded goodies pitched at the darker side of the dance. -ravejavik- revolves around terse breakbeats and uneasy dx7 keys, making for a most intense of club workouts pitched at an even tempo. -downton abbey trax- equally keeps the tempo slow and deadly as a hailstorm of rave tropes meet with emotive string samples, while -hidden agenda- explores paranoid house with pan pipe leads flown in over the top. the release rounds off with -matrix wave-, a more meditative, dubstep flavoured cut showing another side to this emergent artist.

having originally surfaced on creme organization back in 2002, luke eargoggle and ronnie johansson s monkeyshop project is an intermittent treat that offers the best of warm synth-led electronic disco. on their second outing for ali renault s vivod label (after the excellent escape from the mental zoo ep in 2014) the pair bring yet more of that addictive, utopian dance magic on this new record. -island of love- is indeed a romantic club burner with smatterings of vintage synth pop in its bones, while -heartbreak- takes a more overtly italo direction and sounds just as strong with it. obergman then takes -island of love- to task with a respectful remix that shines a few different synth lines and beat patterns through the same fuzzy prism.

for its fifth release, amsterdam’s taped artifact offers up a various artists ep that features four tracks including one from the boss, kevin arnemann, as well as hiver, elmer and physical therapy. it is a moody and atmospheric deep techno offering that fits in with the label’s ever more singular aesthetic

having first surfaced last year with their first various artists release featuring the dearly departed andreas gehm, the stealth mission label is back with another four-strong salvo of no-nonsense acid, electro and techno. naked eye people kicks off proceedings with the punishing jacker -short distance- before barrow boy whips up a perfect slice of malevolent 303 mischief on -btb (demo mix)-. on the b side there s space for a little more reflection with the spacious pings of bobby durst s -shape shifting- before mike storm turns the heat back up on the delightfully unhinged -dark sight (sims jff edit)-.

it s not often that you get to see alan oldham stepping out under his own name. the legendary detroit artist is more commonly spotted as dj t-1000 (or designing iconic artwork for techno labels) but this time around he s sharing some more house-minded delights for finale sessions. -don t take me- is a haunting, mystical slice of deep house that fits into the finale narrative perfectly, while -wild- too offers up a distinctive approach that manages to be both refined and yet imbued with that detroit roughness. -breathe- may well be the best jam on the record, dealing in subtle threads of melody that conjure up the perfect dubby 4/4 confection.

crimes of the future is the kind of label you can trust, no matter who is at the controls. the same could be said for giallo disco, and certainly the two labels orbit a similar space for lurid soundtrack-inspired hardware jams from the italo age. vercetti technicolor is one half of the giallo team alongside antoni maiovvi, and here steps out with a perfectly bombastic range of compositions that revel in b-movie brilliance. -golden taurus- is the perfect slow-burner, those mono bass notes warming like no soft synth ever could, while -topaz fear- brings a more action-driven sequence into the mix. -death wish- too opts for a pumped up club scenario, while heinrich dressel smokes out -golden taurus- into a seedy slow-jam.

african scream contest’ is the third release by the analog africa label. the project initially took off in august 2005 when label owner and vinyl collector samy ben redjeb arrived in cotonou, benin, “without any special expectations, just hoping to lay my hands on few good records - what i found in the process cannot really be described in words-. this first trip was followed by eight more to the region. thirty months and few thousand records later analog africa proudly presents this 14-track compilation. redjeb conducted 16 interviews in various cities in benin and togo with artists, producers and sound engineers to reconstruct the history of the 70s music scene for the 44 pages booklet which also features many rare photographs directly received from the artists. delve into the forgotten raw and psychedelic afro sounds from 70s benin and togo and experience the african scream contest. very, very limited copies in, and this might notcome in anymore.... tip!

for his first outing on naar, eric duncan presents us with shut it, a full bore techno-disco work out, complimented by an altogether more cosmic yet tribal remix from living legend daniel baldelli, alongside production partner marco dionig. on the b side you will find zona de perigo, which is a compelling mongrel affair showcasing a drug chug rhythm with a new age feel, and melodies that border on the anatolian, before breaking in to a satisfyingly arpeggiated conclusion.

hudd traxx first release of 2016 comes from parsian house don chris carrier after the label had a big year in 2015 with their 10th anniversary. back to business then and no messing around on this one as carrier delivers 4 slices of gloriuosly crafted house music with something to please everyone. cycle psycho is a raw house groove that filters the main hook up and down throughout the track accompanied by heavy beats reminscent of early cross section releases. dimension 5 is a cheeky acid number that carrier has done so well in the past and he delivers here once again with this. flip for the b side and find more groovy head nodding material with smoke and flesh. tough beats and a trippy vocal with various hits make this one a sure fire future hit. chris rounds things up nicely on b2 with a sleezy deep one for the heads entitled flying sausage.2016 looks set to be another good one for hudd traxx hq.

digging deep into the annals of gospel now, the name pastor tl barrett should be familiar to the eagle eyed crate diggers amongst you. an extremely colourful character from chicagos southside neighbourhood who found himself on the wrong side of the law for his involvement in some activities of a dubiously illegal nature, more importantly, besides this the pastor was widely known for his community activism and positive sermons preaching love and responsibility.

fresh off the success of versus volume one, volume two of lossless music’s various artist ep series features more fresh underground talent hand picked by ceo soul intent.
tim reaper, melani & silo take pride of place with “finite motion”. beautiful, somber and full of percussion detail this is a track that could well feature on such imprints as exit or metalheadz. london based paragon who brings his unique mix of ominous and sinister vibes with “again & again”. artilect (formally known as deeperheightz) hails from manchester and delivers a tough n ruff roller in the form of “kush”. lastly soul intent brings some serious breakbeat edits alongside eerie cinematic atmospherics with “eyes open”.
pressing on yellow & black marble coloured vinyl.

the stone is not hit by the sun, nor carved with a knife their first release for gizeh records. the canadian/berlin-based ambient doom duo of aidan baker and leah buckareff continue their ultra-prolific output with a monolithic record which explores the depths of heavy noisescape-related music. encompassing distorted riffs and hypnotic rhythms the album sonically attempts to continue on from the more structured elements

john tejada and arian leviste are back on areal after their much celebrated release “reactance“. these guys are working for 25 years together meeting up weekly in the studio to try new things. they say themselves that it is their longest and most special collaboration. they use mainly hardware with an old school mind set that comes more from the early 80s nyc hip hop culture than anything else. early pioneers misusing gear and making the best of their limitations. their newest release “hysteresis“ comes along strongly functional for the club.

cbrb s latest triptych for phantasy takes their sound into a more dystopian direction, a world of concrete shopping centres, the occult and physically irresistible repetition. the title track “mecanique sauvage” is a muscular industrial / outsider house track, a stop start rollercoaster that constantly intensifies. one part a brutal exercise in poise and restraint, and one part undiluted disco excess. a contradictory beast of a track. something of a epic (at over 8 mins long) “children of the monolith” drops the tempo to 100 bpm and takes the listener on a very different kind of trip. a widescreen composite of tribal drums, sinister synths and the beguiling mantras of an arcane cult. don t touch the brown acid... “soda jerk” is the everything but the kitchen sink moment on the ep, a hymn to over indulgence. unhinged electronic body music, a gloriously relentless assault on the senses. resistance is futile!

norse projekt brings muninn back for release 004 with his ep called fornjot, some more minimalistic analogue warmths accompanied by a remix from fuse resident rich nxt who adds some lively acidic tones to the track jarnsaxa.

mark henning is back on his own label swing, showing off his more melodic side with some acid and squelchy arpeggios.

after excellent remixes for kalyma (connected 006) and terranova (connected 004) aaaron releases his own ep on connected. closely associated with rampa, kalyma and florian busse, amongst other minimal deep/tech house explorers, aaaron started collecting & playing vinyl at the age of 15. one year later he bought his first sampler and started producing. moving to berlin in 2003 expanded his knowledge to electronic dance music. berlin was start- of-the-art for genres like house & minimal techno back in these days. in 2013 aaaron released “feelin this”, his highest selling single so far which was released on defected records and was played & gained broad support from jamies jones, mk, hot since 82, claptone, tensnake, waifs & strays, rampa, re.you and many more. after this,he released in 2014 splendid on get physical music followed by another cutting-edge ep for defected records named -what makes you itch. in 2015 he released whatcha say on jena s fatplastics label which sven va&#776,,th included in his sound of the 16th season ibiza compilatio
