full pupp takes us on a trip to the darkest side of disco with 3 suspenseful takes on the lionheart brothers >the drift<. frisvold & lindbaek dont waste much time lull you in with gentle introductions but pull you right into their deepest lair where swathes of billowing, ghostly sounds and warped strings are sliced trough by gyrating rock guitars and echoing vocals truly messing with sense of reality and orientation. a psychedelic onslaught of stoner rock, italian horror soundtrack and progressive electronics which in the morten oby & prins thomas version obtains its dizzying intensity from stacking said components tightly to a towering, dense sound of wall while prins thomas diskomiks on the flip takes it sweet time of pleasurably adding up the spine tingling aural ingredients over a straighter beat, slowly tightening the screw during to course of 12 gloriously spooky minutes.

dank has been at the forefront of the heavy bass culture movement since its early inception years ago. this new york city native considered to be a pioneer of the underground sound currently coming out of the city that never sleeps, represents heavy bass culture from the school of the hard knox and is knee deep in it. it has been said he eats, sleeps, and breathes heavy bass culture. in addition, he is no stranger to demolishing dance floors throughout the united states and abroad. fused with sexy bass and super funk, dank has played along side some of the hottest talent on the planet.

the latest offering from san franciscos icee hot label finds the young imprint officially welcoming another artist to its gradually expanding roster. that said, contakt isnt exactly a stranger. the michigan-reared, new york-based producer is one of the founders and resident djs at brooklyns turrbotax® party, which has long been a sort of sister party to icee hot. contakt has previously released music for respected outposts like local action, grizzly, and dutty artz, but nobody else and tessera 04 find him taking an important step forward as an artist, delivering tunes that are richer and more really realized than anything from his past. particularly on nobody else, contakts flair for big-room melody remains intact, but he takes notes from classic kms, filling out the songs cresting synths with a full-bodied bassline, a hooky vocal sample and a sturdy rhythmic underpinning. tessera 04 goes deeper, channeling maurizio while delving headlong into a dense cloud of synths and maintaining a steady sense of forward momentum. on the flipside, icee hot resident ghosts on tape continues his recent hot streak, infusing nobody else with punchy drumwork and a potent rave sensibility. detroit legend robert hood then rounds out the release, transforming tessera 04 into a pulsing and purring slice of heady analog techno.

the weird house music composers from brazil strike again with four slices of spaced-out dance floor sounds. psychedelic is just one of the adjectives that come to mind when hearing brazilian duo colors sound system. on their first single for lovemonk, sao paolo brothers jota wagner and wander a, who call themselves weird house music composers, continue on the path to a higher state of consciousness with four slices of mind-altering disco and house splashed with spacemen 3-like vocals and seventies prog guitars and organs. just listen to the almost eleven minutes of *ar* if you dont believe. or *1974*. or *poeira lunar*, for that matter. the beatless title track is the only one staying under the seven-minute limit, and it is also the last track on the ep, like a much-needed comedown. space is the place, as the great sun ra said.

falling up in its original theo parrish version and the carl craig version on the same disc. nothing more to say. except that the carl craig version finally gets its proper title (also newly remastered versions of both classics, by stefan betke). it was never a remix as all the parts are original, created by carl craig. as scott grooves said when he first heard norm talley playing it, that aint a remix, thats a full-blown carl craig track

get the curse music 013 features oliver ho aka raudive, one half of duo the eyes in the heat. widely acclaimed for his vicious minimal techno grooves, raudives been on an machine funk bend and crafted two tracks which are as robust as they are potent. true to the gtcm philosophy, distinctions between vintage and modern, old school and new school, mind melting and bodily stimulation are brilliantly blurred. neither house, techno, ebm or synth punk, these tracks move in their own circles. the same can be said for the xenogears remix, miles away from the tired templates used and abused by most producers. fuck genres, lets dance.

sometimes your creating a declaration of love - automatically. beatamines composed many of those lines for extraordinary, dancing people, for electronic music and the possibility to express himself with tracks like >i said< or >something soul<. his tracks were released on mbf (traumschallplatten), damm records, keno and on his mother-label mangue records. but beatamines does not only work as a solo producer, he also releases tracks with his mate david jach - each number got a place in the charts .he is packing the emotions of a summer love into it, underlined with fat baselines, pregnant claps and magic melodies. we welcome beatamines as new bondage-music member. his first ep on bondage-music comes with the track >tonite< incl. remix from dachshund (highgrade) and the track >wknd< incl. remix from channel x (stil vor talent). early support from mihai popoviciu, pimont, patrick kunkel, tom novy, sis, benno blome, david keno, kiki, anderson noise, sven vaeth, pawas, sasha, acid pauli, robert owens, heartik, aruba, affkt, patrick zigon, someone else, oliver schories

phoenix g. ferm and deep kickdrums that are being accompanied by lengthy chords and a frequently return male vocal that states, bounce. all and all this is the dancefloor music we are used to from mr.g. the a2 brings a more technoish vibe to dance to. this fits perfect in the modern trend of bass producers turning techno. while of course g is somewhat more of a legend and he didnt just turn to this type of music recently. it does proove that he is still abel to catch any kind of vibe to get the people moving. on the b1 we find a ben sims remix. which of course is enough said. mr sims turns the a2 original into an absolute floor wrecker.

the tale of the mythic pentaki mountain has been engraved on a two-sided circular piece of wax. the north face of the peak is steep, abrasive, and has been the subject of many legends in the region. it is said that whoever would manage to climb it would find a plateau, leading to a place called >the single source of truth<.

the stereo remastered album on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl.

dusty baron aka latecomer may be a recent arrival on the scene, but he plays like a true veteran. a mysterious export from the around same eastern latitudes as label boss vakula, his music, much like vs, sounds just as rooted in the post soviet russian landscape as it is in the post industrial north america which gave rise to all the soul and machine funk that is the driving inspiration for so many of todays roots conscious electronic artists. vakula takes the controls on side a with dubwise and exotic production skills whilst side b showcases the barons heavy heavy chops, with drum programming as deft as his keys work, and a sound which is equal parts earthly and heavenly. sides c & d (on bonus 7inch) see v step up to offer two takes on >follow shot<, continuing the theme of techno tinged jazz cosmism. a noble introduction, by way of collaboration, to the dusty baron and his sound, and yet another installment in lelekas continuing contribution to the musical space time continuum.

part 1/3. the distance from ricardos last field trip >the au harem d archimede< (perl43) in 2004 to the present epic 5x12 lp-set is a galaxy of electronic expression through sound independent from time and pace. it is said that funk is defined by the notes that are not being played. the space between the notes here is so vast that funk becomes transformed into the spirit that creates unfathomable emotional adventure. the rules of dynamics between 0 and 1 shift the relation from reality to relaxation. 14 freefloat sessions are made of natural, secret ingredients from the limbic system of astro aztecs. they evolve from rituals, ending in the release of the sinuous percussion ghost from the machine who breathes out a score for easy living. which sounds like a primordial soup aerosol of funky molecules and molluscs.

12 inch vinyl lp + cd containing 2 extra tracks in full color inner and outer sleeves. stunning new downwards release from these post-punk legends!

following the extraordinary outings of his 2010 debut 12 inches on phantasy sound (summertime our league / havai), and an album and mini album in 2009/11 respectively (weekend / preparing a voice to meet the people coming) on perdizes dream/glue moon, sao paolo based babe, terror returns with knights ep his visionary take on modern sampleapsychedelica or wdm (wrong dance music) as he describes it, composed under the influence of the cadence of life. this heady stew of unsettling aural landscapes and lush, cinematic stories, have earned him the admiration of the new yorker, said the gramophone, the guardian, coke machine glow and uncut as well as the likes of arto lindsay, four tet, james holden.
this isnt your average piece of vinyl as well as >five killer tracks of skewed house / hynogogia<, it features etched illustrations around the edge and in the centre. oh, and listeners have to play it from the inside out – i.e. the stylus needs to be placed in the middle of the record…

auf >playin me< präsentiert cooly g die ganze palette ihres sounds und rast von ihren manchmal melancholischen, manchmal romantischen songs ohne bremsen in richtung ihrer lauteren, bedrohlicheren tracks.

razor sharp futuristic textures from the bristol based producer, dropping one of his deadliest eps to date. stratagalastico is an absolute bomb of machine-made dynamite, dark and deadly for those who like to lurk in the shadows. creepy shenanigans are most certainly the order of the day, but with that said, marco ends the ep with a deep, melodic piece titled bugs in the virus, a transcendent composition that enriches the stratagalastico experience and completes the package. killer!

spinline drop another all round killer release on dispatch ... and on the flip of this release they give us something special via the labels for non-d&b outing! on the a side sees heavy hitting >darpa< which features that distinct spinline sound the guys are known for and on the aa we have something completely alternative in the downtempo, dark and moody offering >monday luv<, the tracks a real dip into unfamiliar territory for us being its a 140 number however once we heard it we just had to sign it, enough said! huge support on this release from the likes of: friction, ant tc1, icicle (on rince 19 cd), doc scott, octane & dlr, skeptical, zero t, vivek, youngsta, jubei, safire, kasra, nymfo, hydro, dj madd, jack sparrow, ruckspin, author.

following last years acclaimed curse of soft rocks album, were invited to revisit said masterpiece from an alternative entry — a robust compilation of remixes. each track is wildly re-contextualized leaving us with a beautifully obtuse yet complimentary rendering. personnel employed vary in style and technique drastically, but such is the ethos of soft rocks, and furthermore the esp institute. at the end of the day, we implore you to shut up and listen. on this 12inch (the second of 3 surrounding the revenge of soft rocks remix album) esp mainstays cos/mes deliver a deep and sensual yet sinister take on little lights, and side b reveals an upbeat dubbed out version of wicker man by zurichs own lexx (running back, permanent vacation, leng) good lord this is quite a piece of wax!

in the beginning god created the bass drum. he made it beat 8.601 days. then he left it away. god said: death is the greatest work of art. and its expensive. finally infinite. thats politics and science and art. the art of omission. the art of refusal. death is absolute. the bass drum is absolute. do you want the absolute bass drum? if you manage to convince him, god will be happy to lend you his axe, because what happens is what he wants. just like the people. they want it to happen, too. the most expensive work of art in the world is a skull encrusted with 8.601 diamonds.

thinking too much/where the helios is juk juks second release on nommos. thinking too much is the most direct juk juk release so far. its peak time fare, aimed squarely at the dancefloor. the dreamy intro will fool the unsuspecting, sucking them in and propelling them on a tripped out ride on a techno ghost train, buffered by a cushion of warm throbbing bass. where the helios is the real dream side. a floating, hallucinogenic, spaced out drift, driven by a crisp, pared back rhythm and a gorgeous, woozy vocal- led melody. juk juks first release for nommos was unwrap/fall and before that his debut, winter turn spring/frozen, was put out by kieran (four tet) hebden on his highly regarded text label. all juk juks output to date has been critically acclaimed, coverage including fact magazine, pitchfork, mix mag, abeano, the fader amongst others. his releases have also received significant club and radio plays including mainstream radio 1 support from admirers giles peterson and rob da bank, who has promised support for this release. four tet said the room went off when playing thinking too much at a recent event.

o jays road manager, don king prison chauffeur, window washer, house painter, ink spot, domino, producer, engineer, label owner, guitorgan technician, and one-time steward of a coveted jet magazine delivery route, lou ragland is cleveland s eastside success story. though suffocated by lake eries nitrate rich waters and the burning oil from a cuyahoga river fire, between 1967-1977 lou ragland produced the most thoughtful, hopeful, and downright soulful work to come out of the forest city. bookended by his dynamic albums hot chocolate and understand each other, i travel alone gathers period singles, collaborations, and an unreleased live album cut in 1973, revealing a cleveland genius in a musical microcosm of fearless and confident creation.

alex israel, chicagos own overlord of deranged deep house comes to creme with a rip-roaring four tracker in said style. lush pads meander over swampy basslines and drum patterns that wash over you like a sweet monsoon. hard to imagine it was conceived in the windy city, but we guess the allure of the unattainable is a potent one.

4 tracks by unknown artist very reminiscent of the early ferrispark records releases. super trackee, simple, gritty & emotional sample based detroit house. enough said.
