nail provides the lead track for fofs latest vinyl only excursion - originally produced in the same time period as the classic tracks on the ode rammel reissue ep earlier in the year, glazed lay dormant on one of nails dats for many years before being rediscovered and given its first airing now on fof. chunky roughed up house beats are the order of the day here, a real peak time groove. new talent harry mccanna, resident at londons infamous undersound nights, debuts with act 1, a beautifully subtle bassline driven groove that rises above the pack with its super warm pad lending the track a warm and fuzzy hypnotic edge. romanian talent zece kicks off the flipside with the most contemporary offering, a breakbeat laden groove with a fx laden vocal snatch underpinned by that all important b-line whilst sonodab rounds things off with a beautifully deep and melodic slice of electro on brown study, the percussive elements giving rise to a hazy melodic pattern for those early hour excursions.

a quest for form which is never static and accompanied by two constants - repetition and reduction. reduction requires repetition in order to make the intangible tangible for man. this repetition also stimulates our perception and helps us find an inner self while illuminating towards the primal thought. another synonym for *intangible* is *not human* - for the most reductive of primal thoughts, sprung from fractal chance, does not deal with human beings but with a formal language that is universal, drawing from the innermost, and only becomes tangible in accidental, fortuitous moments.

isabel, the first of a new attic series dedicated to hurricanes, is the latest ep signed by fabrizio lapiana on his own label and including remixes from reeko (mental disorder / pole group) and max_m (m_rec ltd). lapiana delivers two tracks with mighty and warm bassdrum, hihats and evolving percussions everywhere focused on diffuse electric click and vivid minimalism. the pole group artist shapes “dfract” into a more bodily and harder structure while the m_rec boss takes the same track and makes its own atmospheric and ultra-rhythmic style. proper dirty dancefloor techno of the highest order.

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.

the idea of merging recordings of different instruments and sounds appeared out of recording harp for an audiobook. the result are 4 innovative, unpredictable and completely homeproduced tracks on the a-side of the record, which negates the cliché of the harp as an apparently benign tool for gentle and smooth tunes. in order to go one step further in breaking tradition-steeped sounds there are 3 remixes from 3 different artists coming from the more technoid world of music (technical grief, carina posse, mod.civil) on the b-side. there you’ll find the attempt to alienate the original instruments and let them coalesce with danceable electronic sounds in a new context. the 12- is on black vinyl, packaged in a silkscreen print cover and limited to 200 pieces.

ltd warehouse found... the joubert singers – stand on the word remixes available 12inch, including larry levan mix and exclusive reworks by patchworks, panoptikum arkestra & walter mecca. originally recorded live in the first baptist church in crown heights, nyc, in 1982 under celestial choir and pressed only for the congregation, it was then enlighted by walter gibbons (owner of jus born studios and a new born christian at the time of the recording), who acquired a copy and played it out at the 7th av. rock and soul shop, where he worked. >stand on the word< was walters biggest record at the time, says colin gate, who visited the church in order to track down the origins of the song.

following the success of its first release by the ever elusive jason grove, the vinyl-only sub-label skylax extra series returns with a little something beyond special. for those house-heads in the know, the man needs no introduction, but for those uninitiated, sit back and prepare for this double 12” selection to further your education in house music.joey kay hails from chicago in the us and has influenced a great many producers in the last two decades with his signature take on the deep house sound. he keeps things simple in the best possible sense of the word, stripping back tracks to their bare essentials in order to maintain what the spirit of house music is all about: the groove, the soul and the feeling of being carefree, even if only experienced for a few minutes at a time. there are no superfluous or ancillary sounds in joey’s music and this is all the more evident when taking a step back and listening to his spectrum of output in this collection, which spans more than twenty years of his career.

chaotic, acidic jack tracks are the order of the day here, dancer aka sidney winters, dropped this obscure bomb on trax in the peak year of 1987. both sides are mixed by the late, great frankie knuckles and have all the trademarks of his touch, tough drum machines, italo inspired melodies and thundering bass-lines. these monster tracks sound absolutely massive and will surely do damage when dropped today.

objektivity is starting the year with launching the long-awaited vinyl-only sub-label called obj analogue. the concept behind this is that in order to make the record, it has to be totally hardware based!

visonia returns with the anticipated debut album release entitled, impossible romance. commencing with juana de arco, which edges finely the fragile border between expectant angst and hopeful optimism, this opening piece pretty much sets the tone for the album. undulating between the highs and lows of human emotion which beautifully encompasses visonias own conception of art to hold hands and contribute to humanity to give beauty, wisdom, or to simply open the listeners mind in order to reflect and ask questions of ones own self, ones own existence what we have here is at times a poetic soundscape of emotions, feelings, fears and positive expression. the album, in its double vinyl format includes the previously available collaboration with dopplereffekt, namely die reisen, alongside an equally striking collab with new wave/synth pop artist, mad moizel in the form of beat frequencies and late addition to the album – the sleek, driving vision of between lies and real looks

re-issue of an italo-disco single by i.m.s. from 1984., that had a huge influence on the early chicago house scene, pet shop boys and new order.

dry, minimal and acid infected techno for the prime time. z.i.p.p.o continues with his collected works series.

romansoff is the man behind raw tools, a guy who loves to dj and arrange parties in and around bucharest, he is starting to stretch his wings further afield. with a release on machine records inc being his first for another label, romansoff delivered 3 tracks of dancefloor goodness to the ruff draft inbox that made me jiggle in my chair. it was when i got up and started to dance like my dad, and my son started to laugh and point, that i knew it was a winner. i contacted romansoff who suggested we should have a game of stone, paper, scissors to decide the track order

reminiscent of a time where we were releasing 4-tracks sampler every month (remember the secret gems from the vault) it is naturally that we thought about a various artists sampler in order to introduce the new wild bunch. julian m, is french and is taking over right now, releasing here his first track on briquerouge, but the man is no beginner, having released on catwash, homecoming, denote, to name but a few and of course recently on our own rz muzik, his music is deep, acid, techy and ready to please any crowd, ange siddhar is working for laboratory records and works with legendary artists such as ron carroll, paul johnson or chris count and now teams up with illan nicciani on several house project, they have a strong vinyl lovers community following their releases and just joined the label with the show

following on from her highly acclaimed ett lp on editions mego klara lewis presents 4 new works which further her signature explorations of field recordings, electronics, rhythm, sound and atmosphere. here lewis exemplifies her uncanny ability to harness the world outside in order to reconstruct and re-present this as amorphous musical matter. these 4 new tracks exude a certain ambiguity where standard signposts such as rhythm, ambience, texture, light and dark remain as elusive as they are present. whilst bypassing passive or photographic representation of the source material these works withhold a strong emotional quality resulting in a confident and at times brutal musical manifestation. as suggested by the title, msuic resides in a zone at once familiar and slightly off kilter, a world of lewis devising in which the listener is warmly encouraged to enter and explore. msuic is another superb collection of music as fantastic matter.

after the success of their first release charmin are back with another high quality wax. this offering showcases the talents of florist and close friend of the imprint tilman, all pressed up on heavyweight vinyl with a lovingly designed cover. the ep kicks off with “proof nothing” which is a statement of intent. deep, churning piano chords overlaid with delayed vocal samples all underpinned with a solid beat and deep bass. next up “raw” does exactly what it says on the tin. this is a stripped down thumper with crunchy claps and an infectious groove. “once again” has a looser, more percussive feel to it with machine gun snares rattling off overt the top of a killer chord line. bringing things to a close is “mood swings” which builds brooding atmospheres and eerie vocal snippets. all in all this ep carries on the good work of this exciting new label. charmin continues its journey to bring you uncompromising, underground house music of the highest order.

ruhig (audiolouis from natch records) debuts on midgar with a deeply atmospheric ep. crumbled beats, gloomy synths and meticulously crafted basslines are the order of the day here, resulting in some incredible introspective techno! the midgar imprint continues to explore the themes found in its first release whilst evolving to embrace a warmer, heated sound.

true to the motto do it yourself diynamic is re-releasing solomuns remix of lana del reys west coast on its sister-label 2diy4, in order to make it available all around the globe. in his subtle manner, solomun works his magic around the breathless sultry vocals of lana del rey: apart from the luscious beat and the droning lower frequencies, the catchy synthesizer builds a simple, but harmonic structure that sends you on a mesmerizing journey throughout the track. the a-side, which is the dub remix, has already proven to be raising hands on festivals and in clubs during this summer all over the world, the b-side attracts the listener with the matchless voice of lana del rey.

... adonis comically named -endless pokers- project is no joke, in fact, this is some serious chicago acid house! originally released in 1987 and featuring adonis trademark staccato drum machine rhythms, creeping acid lines and cowbells -the poke- is a classic (watch out for those vocal stabs too!). all 3 mixes featured on this 12- bring something new to the table, twisting and turning that acid line into a frenzied buzz. this is pure old school business, chicago style! raw, simple box jams of the highest order! a definite essential, a record like this in the right hands can produce some devastating effects and still sounds incredibly fresh today. re-mastered, re-pressed and brought to you in conjunction with dj international records.

radioactive man: -dub has always been a major influence in my music, mainly roots a la king tubby, marley, lee scratch, king jammy etc. i used to religiously tune into the manasseh show on kiss fm on saturday nights after coldcut, that introduced me to the massive amount of roots reggae and dub that was made in the 70s. i always loved the fact there was two versions, a vocal and a dub, which was always played in that order... the original remix music i guess...

vergleicht man dieses album mit dem vorgänger order of noise, dann fällt sofort auf, dass die persönliche handschrift nun weitaus ausgeprägter ausfällt. dies bedeutet, dass sich vessel nun komplett von den bezugspunkten techno und house gelöst hat und eine ganz eigene auslegung elektronischer musik entwickelt.

merck 274350 with its propulsive mechanical basslines, industrial-strength percussion, and a germanic vocodered mantra, this teutonic panzer tank of a track takes absolutely no prisoners - an electronic matter of fact statement inspired by the passing of time, fate, circumstance, and synchronicity. holland s misanthropic high priest of psychedelic, doomy, dark house & techno, drvg cvltvre, delivers a trippy interpretation, turning the track into a lysergic love letter to this iconic chemical catalyst, maintaining the dynamic bassline of the original but adding a nagging 303 line to deliver an explosive 3am dancefloor device. one step closer to heaven begins with a metronomic, rhythmic new beat stomp and a nagging insidious synth refrain that recalls the more electronic side of new order. muscular synth riffs then drop in and out of the mix, taking the track into dark ebm territory and ramping up the pressure before the influences of giorgio moroder and cerrone come to the fore, propelling the track into a rapture of hypnotic celestial electronic disco.

the debut album by synthek & audiolouis can be seen like a precious gathering of different approaches to techno, made in order to create a meaningful and elaborate piece of work. the opening tracks miasma and intro:spection are just a glimpse into the atmospheres which costantly surround the whole album. strong rhythmics and overwhelming soundscapes never abandon the ears, modulating intensity and brightness along the journey through a sea full of dark acid waves. unwise is a bold sequence of powerful tracks devotedly written for the dancefloor, but still keeps a certain emotional aspect made of few melodic detroit-rooted cuts, standing as a tribute to the authors primary inspirations.
