faded ranger made their hypnotizing debut earlier this year with a sparkling trio of singles - be on the lookout, get together (right now) and blindfolds. now the duo are ready to unveil their debut lp, mechanical tonight, in its full glory.

emotions, melody and rhythm. those are the keywords to describe jin chois new release on serialism records, >delirium ep<. the berlin based artist has already been on the spotlight with the serialism team for his release >full range< (with maceo plex on rmx duty) a couple of years ago. his peculiar sound has developed even more since back then, leaving a special mark on the electronic music by spreading its uniqueness via well respected labels such as lessizmore, contexterrior as well as his own imprint private gold. the original tunes are solid musical journeys crossing over techno and dubstep, somewhere between the berlin and london sound, sometimes between the past and the future. romantically charged of emotions and broken rhythms. delirium ep also includes a minimal avant-­garde re-­visit by jazz musician david koch aka dewalta from the vakant and meander family.

somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

this october, the compilation disco sympathy will be released on versatile. it’s author is vidal benjamin, an outstanding dj / digger, considered by his pals as one of the most brilliant in his category. and that says a lot! here he makes us rediscover the sound that was so characteristic of a certain early eighties french scene: wacky, happy, dancing and at times even poetic. one begins to travel through an era during which the french producers were not afraid to tackle disco, american boogie, british and german synth wave, to present us their version: french, poppy and above all... fun!as a prelude, before releasing the compilation, versatile will come with limited 33 rpm and 45 rpm maxis, on which every track has undergone an editing treatment by mysterious french producers: jean-marc misère (last sighted somewhere near london), dj ringardos (who, since his last versatile release in 2008, chose roman exile), alt (already spotted on the edits du golem and on the us label black disco), and of course vidal benjamin himself, accompanied by gilbert cohen - the boss. on the 45 rpm you ll find no-one less than jeff lasson, of the get a room! duo, who came through with flying colors. and as a bonus beat: misère on the b-side.

ocoeurs latest album a parallel life finds franck zaragoza showcasing his adeptness at fusing thoughtfully crafted melodies with twitchingly syncopated techno. in a recent interview berlin music portal kultmucke introduced zaragoza something of an idm prodigy and while thats a fair summation due to his preference for malleable beatwork and his use of heavily processed field recordings there is more there than simple glitchery. zaragozas melodies, while often shrouded in hazes of static, affect the cinematic minimalism of modern composition. these such comparisons put him stylistically hovering somewhere between the likes of arovane and max richter which is no meager feat. a parallel life aches, breathes, pulsates and is forever churning. it has a subliminal soul that is all too often a casualty of electronic music of this style. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

here s something to stir the loins of any discerning disco dj: a studio hook-up between veteran producer felix dickinson (fresh from his much-loved outing on futureboogie recordings), horse meat disco and one-time dfa man (and renowned multi-instrumentalist) marcus marr. there s an additional contributor, too: a mystery (presumably big-name) vocalist whose talk-box heavy delivery sits somewhere between prince, george clinton and pharrell. the track itself is something of a summer anthem in the making - an immaculately produced p-funk jam with the additional benefit of a shuffling, house-friendly groove. no details on how many copies have been pressed, either way, you d be well advised to snap up a copy while you still can.

hailing from somewhere in spain, mystic & quantum is a new label created to show stories of adventures, magic, science and they launch in quite auspicious fashion with an album length foray through analogue experimentation from one of englands finest dmx krew. one of numerous handles taken by edward upton, standing stones finds the dmx krew sound in particularly contemplative mood across a variety of tempos and can be viewed as an extension of the approach he took on last years reith tracks lp for rush hours no label. however whereas that release saw upton take inspiration from his surroundings on an austrian farm, standing stones draws its creative juices from the mysterious pillars of stone that have stood across western europe for centuries. the accompanying silk screened artwork - which is quite lovely - extends the theme. whether you engage conceptually or just focus on the music, this is another rewarding set from the master dmx krew!

saves *monsters and fairies* is an abandoned hotel room located somewhere between england and spain. it is real for some while for others it is just a fantasy. who knows?
it is in this exact same place that the american singer/vocalist craig louis higgins jr. (paranoid london/mutado pintado/black daniel), the australian singer/composer saskia sansom and the fench electronic music composer marc nguyen tan (colder) got together to record these songs during the year 2012. however some listeners will find interesting to know, that until today, the three of them have never actually met in person.
four tracks from this experience are available now on limited 10 inch vinyl with original artwork by london artist sara pope.

the mlh crew brings house music tracks based on raw rhythms, infectious stabs and hard hitting grooves, written somewhere between chicago, new york, london, berlin and paris.this time the label is back with five jams that will smash any dancefloor. it includes the weapon *what is* by 4trak (aka jay shaw) and 4 new tracks from dennis collado (luv dancin), daniele temperilli (slapfunk), philou louzolo (lazare hoche) and metta (124recordings).

experimental journey...

after several vvaa and remixes, we are glad to introduce you the first solo ep of oscar barila in his own imprint my little dog. the first track is raw girlz , a forward driven song, somewhere between old skool and deep house. its heavy squared bassline and its catchy vocals promise to be a heavyweight stomper in the finest clubs. the second original track is planet hollywood , a melodic and chic deep house song with a brilliant dico touch. if it wasn t enough with the 2 original tracks, there is also room for remixes. the super chilean combo andre butano and demian muller (cadenza, 8bit) makes a fantastic and techy reinterpretation of raw gilz . meanwhile, the serbian mass digital (keno, yellow tale) gives his personal touch to planet hollywood and turn it into an outstanding indie dance masterpiece.

familiar friends of the label, french duo jules & moss return to tiefschwarzs ever-reliable souvenir imprint with another stomping two-tracker designed for those late nights and early mornings. situated at the very centre of a musical centrifuge, french duo jules & moss find themselves drawing upon an array of different influences spanning rock, jazz, classical but landing somewhere firmly rooted in the electronic spectrum.

anoma is proud to get things started with its maiden double sided 12-, featuring a collaboration between eccentric trooper -dr. beat- san proper and anoma records founder ohm hourani. side a : -triple x- - abstract lyrics mouthed to describe a blurry path to somewhere. accompanied by several acoustic elements, organic patterns and a healthy dose of soul. in the end, it s all about life, death & sex. side b : -she s gone- - atypical drum beat held in place by atmospheric sounds that promise to hold you tight until the wee small hours of the morning. the vocals tell a story that happened when you were not looking. this record will be enveloped by a cover sleeve that features an exquisite painting entitled -earthache- by our art director laucolo.

location 141? location unknown? although one would hazard a guess at somewhere in the ether between chicago and detroit (that is, of course, if we didnt know any better). this mysterious créature de la nuit sits comfortably between the two places of influence and bends them into his own style to herald rogue cat sounds first emergence of 2014 and, in doing so, unfurls two killer, bumpin and weighty jams for the discernable discoid freaks in all of us.

pauls rather unique vocals lie somewhere between david bowie and richard butler of the psychedelic furs. all songs have been remastered for vinyl by george horn at fantasy studios in berkeley. each lp includes 2 postcards with live photos, a list of instruments used and quotes, that are suitable for mailing. this collection highlights a lost duo with a big sound on par with ultravox, human league, omd or devo.

neues album von roddy frame, der mit aztec camera in den 80er jahren mit hits wie -somewhere in my heart-, -oblivious- oder -pillar to post- in indie-kreisen kultstatus erreichte. -seven dials-, sein erstes soloalbum seit -western skies- (2006), beinhaltet zehn wundervolle indie-popsongs, co-produziert von seb lewsley (edwyn collins, proclaimers, robert forster). das album erscheint auf dem aed label seines freundes edwyn collins, die sich bereits aus den frühen 80ern kennen, als aztec camera und orange juice auf dem legendären schottischen indielabel postcard records veröffentlichten.

its time for local talk to go local again with another swedish producer, eric ericsson. with numerous releases out in labels like planet e, fragile and freerange he is one of those producers with one foot in the techno scene and another in the more soulful house scene. basically, he is not a one trick pony! for his release on local talk we would say he lands somewhere between classic chi-town house and thumping nyc house groove but without sounding too retro or washed out. its simply real house music!

back in 2009, exactly five marches ago, culprit began its journey. 5 years of existence is a significant mark for a label and worthy of some introspection. with its new release, the los angeles­based label celebrates one of its most recognisable elements, the standard hotel rooftop, the site of the labels signature parties for the past 6 years: its been more that just a location – the rooftop has become the essential ingredient of culprits philosophy. inspiring a successful three-part compilation series, above the city, which has united some of the best young production talent around, the series has showcased a particular brand of warm summer­time sound, modern yet timeless. each remix is a culprit debut for all of the remixers. yet, each of them is part of the extended group of friends of the label, a like­minded tight­knit collective

one of these things is not like the others. put veteran producer and general madman eddie ruscha (aka secret circuit, laughing light of plenty, dadamunchamunky) in a studio with the spritely whipper-snapper diego herrera (aka suzanne kraft & 1/3 pharaohs) and your results will be nothing less than an epic jam. as the name blasé suggests, their laxadasical style and confident panache is abundant. the duo ease into their productions with a cool hand and an open mind, letting the moment take them somewhere foreign to bask in surreal surroundings, but not without documenting the trip.

cgi is proud to present the debut of 2 new duos who are experts at making their synths and sequencers sweat divine moisture. lyman-alpha forest is a new collaborative project between producers grey people (proper trax, finale sessions) and talk (deconstructure). as a duo they work to bring acid into new territories with their heavy, low-slung approach to producing melodic-and-spacious yet tight-and-focused slow-burning club-weapons. whether or not this is due to a stroke of compositional genius or if it is simply a side effect of the high levels of sizzurp found in the tap water in their hometown of nashville is irrelevant, but the effect is intoxicating all the same. travel 7 hours up i-65 and you will end up somewhere in chicago where afterburner spends long cold winter nights painting vivid synthesized tapestries as epic as the citys skyline. the duo of nicholas reed (windbreaker) and travis thatcher (voice of saturn) employ an aresnal of modular and analog gear to produce lushly cinematic tracks that chug along like classic moroder productions while simultaneously evoking the rich melodicism of kraftwerk. whether you listen to them at home in the headphones or on the dancefloor in the club, these tracks will take you on a wild ride.

el_txef_a continues rolling out thoughtfully detailed productions after a brief break. 2 years ago was released his debut album and now the misterious boy from the basque country launches the single of what will be his second long play.

straight back with the deepness! moralez, up and coming producer from russia, gets his first ep on gigolo. leaving everything unnecessary behind, moralez delivers stripped back, analogue house somewhere on a highway leading to the borders of techno!early support from locked groove, terranova, digiteria, my favorite robot, jacques renault and murphy jax amongst others.

following his well received fabric mix comp in december 2013, ben sims returns to his own theory imprint with yet another ring release in the form of *reflection*, which features two original new tracks, a remix from rod and a vinyl exclusive. the eponymous opener is a strident, 909 + 707 driven affair that fuses overlapping, stereoscopic tones to a gently distorted and brutalist groove that sits somewhere between dance mania and detroit. *break glass* is the second original on offer and has been a heavily requested track for the past few months. the perfect partner to *reflection*, *break glass* is similarly overdriven but heavy on the sort of mechanical funk that sims does so well. rods version of *reflection* is a linear assault which ebbs and ows with purpose throughout a linear and intense arrangement while sims remix of *break glass* zeros in on bone rattling percussive aesthetics and vox samples, in much demand after featuring on his fabric mix cd.

somewhere along the line the true spirit of the ku was lost in a sea of buddha bar pish and the anaemic meanderings of anyone with a nine bar and a spanish guitar. thankfully, nado uncork their bottle of vintage san rafael dust and sprinkle it liberally over their seventh release to put the sun and fun back into the balearic discotheque. and who better to call upon for authentic 80s oddities than the irrepressible brenda ray, who has plunged into the naffi hq archive and plucked out four vivacious (& previously unreleased) gems, wholly deserving the full light of day.

the central executives what can we say ? not much as it turns out - the generally very forthcoming golf channel crew are remaining tight-lipped about the architects of this, frankly mind-blowing debut long-player from this new nyc collective. a walk in the dark is exactly that, a situationist song-sheet & sonic chaperone to guide us through the back street escapism these troubled times demand. from gently over-driven punk funkin mascara stained hymns, to house that has been thoroughly smudged to the edges of its live music incorporating limits. sitting very comfortably, in a moment of stewed elevation alongside sound signature style machine jams, bare bones vocal led improvisations, discordant arthur russell moments & the distorted reflections of roots house that run to the very core of the big apple. a drop-jaw debut then, that wears its influences proudly, but takes them somewhere entirely new.

last years precursors ep from eduardo de la calle provided quite a curveball release for cadenza records, the spanish dj and producer who has recorded exclusively for his analogue solutions label in the past, turned out a warm and minimal release for lucianos imprint, with all the flair and trademarks of eduardos studio prowess. really though, eduardos approach to electronic music perfectly encapsulates the sound ethics of cadenza emotive, driving, long passages of deep rhythm, often focusing on the bare essentials of a track and enunciating these for an aural joyride

afmb - a forest mighty black , with a slamming deep 3x12 inch vinyl, including cd (in a cardboard sleeve).

its time for a new pack and take away is more happy and proud to bring the next one which releases also as vinyl first and leave the right impression as solid performance pack. its diamonds & dust by one of the talent & lovely artists from mannheim: veitengruber

mary was first inspired by her love for lofi and electronica music, but also by the international deep & minimal house scene. in recent years, she developed her own style and produced her music from a unique blend. here she presents the hidden poetry ep 12inch vinyl of the debut album and was subsequently allowed by jamie robson aka magic panda make a beautiful remix of the track mountain lake. with chestnut tree and rocket boi you go through somewhere between a deep and trippy journey.bonus track is forest haze.

having previously had releases on visionquest and italian imprint amam, aeons fifth release is courtesy of ukrainian producer and performer qbeck. with the *dont let it fall ep* and as the latest addition to the aeon family qbeck is the perfect candidate to bring a fresh take on the electronic music scene, supplying a sound that perches somewhere between minimal, tech and deep-house.

welcoming warrior one to losing suki, the man like carl faure has been knocking out some killers for labels like black butter, catskills and king pigeon over the last few years, and for suki he shines a light upon the garage house hybrid sounds…. title track 5ths kicks things off with the kind of punchy garage house swing that never fails to move you, airhorns and synth sweeps pepper the cut whilst a thundering double 99-esque bassline throbs hard and heavy. flipside, the reverberating keys and mc licks of nyc continue warrior ones indulgence of the classic us house sounds but with a slick production for the modern dancefloor. closing track only you presents orgasmic pads and tough garage beats, its meaty bass touching the spot, a sweet slice of when rave met garage (somewhere in a field off the m25, most probably).

a monster rolling dubby track clocking in at over 8 minutes. amazing production work. play loud! mr beatnicks signature organic drum work, coupled with additional melodies and beautiful strings take this track somewhere completely new, while still retaining the feel of the original. 400 hand printed sleeves, made using raised wood grains.

dort einsetzend, wo er mit somewhere (kompakt 264) aufgehoert hat, verfolgt kompakt schrauber und modular-hexenmeister john tejada auch auf we can pretend seine recherchen inmitten des zeitgenoessischen clubgewuehls: das mondsüchtige trackduo bringt soliden wumms zum einsatz, weiß jedoch ebenso gut mit den sensiblen problemzonen des tanzflurs umzugehen

new kanada welcomes londons bob bhamra into the chamber, with this two-track breaker from his west norwood cassette library (wncl) guise. >say what?< is a broken sub workout, with a strong nod to the hardcore continuum. distant alarms, aggressive drums, and deep bass drops make this a floor-killer for all sound camps. >flashlight< is an aqueous solution of damp funk that will resonate the head and drop the lights. gaseous and moody. on the flip is a slow burner remix of >flashlight< by adam marshall - sitting somewhere between tired breaks and acid reggae. 11 minutes of moog.

vinyl sampler 4/10 of the sound of belgium. the compilation cd

welcome to the world of magic eye, an illusory duo from leeds experimenting with light and sound. the mystical pairs debut release, inside my love, comes on the legendary house label strictly rhythm. kicking off with plummeting and rubbery kick drums it sucks you down into a warm and inviting place somewhere on the edge of the cosmos. when the dulcet chords of a certain minnie riperton song drop in its pure bliss. wooden percussion clacks away and then the whole thing drops into a serene breakdown complete with heavenly vocals. its a sympathetic re-imagining of a classic track that works to perfection. remix wise the label features interpretations from purp & soul artists harry wolfman & mark wells, plus mike mago.

brill house vinyl incl daniel avery & tiago remixes

french label meant serve up another ep from their fast rising montreal based duo vosper. made up of edouard le and christopher byron, the pair excels in analogue funk, have also released on throne of blood and here get remixed by items & things man marc houle. taking some of their cues from the likes of drexcyia and mark bell, the duo have a sound somewhere between darkened techno and physical ebm.

the debut lp from chicagodamn
gavin mcclarys music lies somewhere between the cavernous, pared down sonic delights of producers like levon vincent, and the simplistic yet irresistible classic house on labels like prescription underground. all executed and pieced together with beautifully produced analog textures, an undeniable ear for hooks & a dash of the gritty uk techno sound synonymous with his production alias.
available as a limited edition (500 copies) double vinyl package... housed in shrinkwrapped manilla sleeves, with cover sticker & unique download codes

myles serges saure music group expands its self to create smg limited. smg limited showcases only special and one of a kind tracks in a vinyl only format. the 1st release is from two of our good friends plural (aka james johnson) and general vex who split the release to create pure madness!

on an island somewhere between the mainland and a time forgotten sits new cyn signee karma, contemplating beats, samples and dusty vinyl. *her touch / salute* follows on from his luscious remix of dimensions *all i need* and showcases quite how special this young man is.

praterei turns 8, if releases were years and to celebrate, proffers a stamped 10 from label swami, 7 citizens. >do your head in< is charged with a side duties and a bit of a cerebral poke it is too. flirting somewhere betwixt both reverie and nightmare, it’s as playful as it is tormenting. it invites you round for a cup of tea, slaps you about a bit and calls you names before putting you to bed and whispering slightly sexy things in your lughole. >stride< is an altogether less hairy affair. its honest. its honest about the fact you are going to need a safe word. an acid romp with unwavering purpose.
