marc cerrone became the star of incredible live experiences in paris and elsewhere. as if, after having spent the first step of his musical career elaborating his repertoire, he’d chosen to devote the second one to make it live permanently. firstly on stage, then through younger generations: when bob sinclar samples his music or invites him to collaborate, it’s a new way for cerrone to keep his main ability alive: make crowds dance. a talent which most of his younger fans - todd terje, prins thomas, james murphy and a whole generation of cosmic disco lovers - agree to and get inspiration from. from 1976 to 2014, cerrone, whose discography makes so many others jealous, never stopped playing and keeping his beat which he considers vital. and if disco music had to be summarized to one artist, one creator, it would be him and nobody else. this exclusive double lp sounds like a tribute to his prolific discography, containing incredible remixes talented producers. a cd with all tracks is included.

• billy nasty’s electrix recordings returns with a new ep by fleck e.s.c.
• very limited vinyl pressing features solid remixes from carl finlow and pip williams
franck collin, aka fleck e.s.c, is an electro artist originally from france but currently living in tokyo. franck’s earlier experience playing bass and drums in bands and his love of horror, science fiction and b-movies, naturally drove him to the electro scene. with additional influences rooted in new wave, contemporary, techno and ambient, fleck e.s.c tries to avoid the clichés of electro, leaning more toward the spooky side of horror and sci-fi and the cheap retro sounds in tribute of the movies he loves. never too serious or pretentious and always striving for fresh sounds, fleck e.s.c’s music aims to distract the body and the brain.
his ‘nice guy ep’ comprises two killer new tracks that emphasize this sound, the dappled ‘what r we waiting 4’ and the ominous tones of ‘nice guy’. remixes of the latter come from london modular’s pip williams with a sweeping rendition, alongside the mighty carl finlow who also adds his magic touch...

jaumet is back,but not alone,he asked 3 remixers to revisit his track la visite.on the a side,we have a brand new band from duseldorf,the wilde jagt.we know the boys from their previous band,der rauber und der prinz(released of desolat)which a favorite from everyone at versatile.thet deliver a surprising mix of la visite,in a pure kraut fashion(neu is not that for).on the flip,the french man low jack turns the tune into a dub marécage.multi layered music typical of the low jack.and finally,gilb r,so inspired by jaumet,delivers his own ambiant version of one the highlight of jaumet s album,midnight man(a tribute to i:cube who use to come at the studio at night at that time)

concept record alert! fairlights by fort romeau is a tribute to the - technically minded readers might raise an eyebrow - australian computer musical instrument that people like peter gabriel, herbie hancock or kate bush fell in love with during the late 1970s/early 1980s. anyways, if fort romeaus current album is like painting with oil, fairlights is like drawing with permanent marker- to quote the man himself. all based on the word saku, you will experience an epic journey evolving around heart-breaking dance-floor romanticism, jaw-breaking beat exercises, life-affirming ambient digressions, and a general feeling of spring fever.

jaumet is back, but not alone: he asked 3 artists to revise music from his latest album la visite. on the a-side, we have a brand new band from düsseldorf, called die wilde jagd. we know those boys from their previous band der räuber und der prinz, released on desolat, which is a favorite from everyone at versatile. they deliver a surprising mix of la visite, in pure kraut fashion. neu is not that far... on the flip-side, the frenchman low jack turns la visite into a dub marshland, multilayered as is typical for low jack s music. and finally, gilb r delivers his own ambient version of one of the highlights of jaumet s album, midnight man, a tribute to i:cube who used to come to the studio at night.

after debuting earlier this year on a collaborative split with max_m for parachute records, italian producer wrong assessment lands on m_rec ltd with his very own 12. disillusionment is a tightly programmed techno tool packed with groove. there’s a warm and almost melodic bass line here, clearly indebted to the detroit groove, but darkened as it has become custom with italian producers and their sound. the loops that develop around it are of the hypnotic kind… the sound that recently made m_rec ltd label of the month on resident advisor. parachute affiliate cw/a (already involved in clockwork and avatism) delivers a prime time remix that transform the original into an aggressive techno anthem. playing intelligently with the elements of the original, the remix delineates a very interesting narrative as it fluctuates between harshness, funk and psychedelia. expect major playtime. on the flip side, ‘persecutory beliefs’ is basically a tribute to all proper techno dancefloors. with tension and tightness, the track revolves around a forward driving ravey refrain perfected for those late night sessions. closing the ep, ‘inner turmoil’ follows a similar path, but gets druggier and more crepuscular as it evolves. like throughout the entire ep, there’s a love for proper 90s techno at play here. dark stuff for late, late nights. is it clear that max_m and his label m_rec ltd have discovered major talent in wrong assessment. expect more great things throughout 2015.

rounding off the vinyl series that accompanies themas label-defining strength in numbers compilation, part 4 downsizes from 12 inch to 7 inch to present two distinctive jams that show some of the farthest reaches of the new york imprints sound. laurine frost may be best known as part of the nonconformist house and techno scene of europe through releases on perspectiv, sharingtones and nervmusic, but on this special creation for thema he makes the perfect tribute to the city that gave rise to the label, with a little help from the racy diatribe of amiri baraka on “your house”. by way of a truly special finale for the series, minneapolis maverick dj slip graces the label with an all-too rare appearance, taking an altogether more primal approach on “x7” that channels his years spent conjuring up next level techno for missile, music man and more into a taut and punchy electro excursion infected with tricked out effects and seductive sci-fi noir atmospherics. it’s the perfect example of the freaky fringes thema has comfortably reached to over the course of the last forty releases.

introducing damien zala... the next promising young frenchman to release on hold youth. although relatively unknown, his first album *lonely happiness* received strong support from theo parrish, norm talley and luke hess amongst others. combining analogue synths and drum-machines with acoustic elements and samples from old records, the trained sound engineer is a rigorous technician aiming to create sophisticated deep house atmospheres. hold youth provide a breeding ground for open-minded and innovative music, and zalas second life ep ticks all the right boxes. exploring sounds from a broad spectrum, *ms blue* is the moody opener that creates a melange of raw minimal jazz, while the b side continues in this vein with more of an obvious off-key german micro house influence. *considered done* references the late herbie hancock, sampling his voice over a flowing piano melody and punchy bass line, while *tribute to willy simon* goes all out funky, full of brass, with a classic hip hop swagger.

the tracks here are in the brutalist machine house vein and the source material for * we come together* (by mazi as asp and john griffin as awoke) will be familiar to devotees of roots chicago house. the brodanse brothers * sleep won t come* is remixed by audio soul project and awoke. chicago based multi-instrumentalist jonn wallen contributes the dense * aesthete* under pseudonym *by gordon gartrelle*. * we get together* is a tribute to the 90s house that inspired us to start making music years ago. people reminisce about how things used to be better, but you must breath in the present. we keep with us those hallowed bones but let pain and suffering fade into the mist. we let memories fade in the depths of our neural web so as not to be paralyzed by the burden of sentiment. we forget to stay sane.

the original opens with a field recording intro followed shortly after by heavy bass shots and a pulsating kick drum. snare patterns and an underwater synth melody hit the speakers with an abstract touch, while halfway through the pace changes with a new bass coming in. an experimental and brave track, it reflects idriss djing style and his long sets, going into different mental spaces, a wavelike combination of beats and up&down rhythms. eduardo de la calle s trademark analog sounds fill his tribute remix with acid keyboards, rim shot grooves, industrial noises and metallic vibes, swinging with a rolling bass line and bringing the original percussions to the fore.

iconic deep house label large music returns to the vinyl market with a limited repress of the classic kerri chandler release return 2 acid. first pressed in 2005, this was the 100th release on large and has been out of print for 10 years. the a side features kerri s powerhouse tribute to the glorious days of acid house laced with driving beats and an incessant 808 acid line. on the flip side kerri goes old-school, this time with an electro afrika bambaataa influenced jam entitled planet sonic. also included for this special reissue is the unreleased acapella of return 2 acid solidifying this as a true collectors item
