we are proud to present the first release of french artist nhar on 200 records. we have always been deeply impressed by the unique and sublime sound of nhar – heard on numerous releases on labels like wir, modelisme, time has changed, sonic culture, mina and many more. megumi and bluedrop both have everything, we expect from tracks released on our label: two brilliant, timeless, deep and majestic dance floor tunes.
this vinyl ships with a download code that includes both tracks.

the second release on johannes volks own label exploration. >energy field< is a powerful peak time bomb, growing with each passing second! the title track >across the emptiness< comes with a wall shaking sub-bass, stormy chords and a retro-futuristic sound design. on the b side we have >isolation<, a dub infected piece of music with complex organic textures. and finally >devoted to microgravity< with its heavy drums, toms and cowbells. vinyl only!

whatpeopleplay reels in another biggie for their second release: >western starland< is surely one of the signature tunes by tech-funk luminary john tejada and his long-time collaborateur ariane leviste. originally released in 2001 on his palette imprint this is one of those tunes that never leave the crates of many djs and if you have been dancing anywhere in the last 10 years you will surely instantly recognize those synthetic string chords. tejada himself gets busy here and revamps the also included original with a brand-new 2011 mix: the original signature elements are right there from the start but fused with a beefy house beat, a new bassline, a hissing soul organ and lifted to the next plateau by thundering staccato chords in a classic detroit style. the flip holds the glorious original plus the not any less brilliant john tejada vip mix from 2003.

2 big remixes by brendon moeller and fenin for lars & gunnar hemmerling.

the trekka rolls on and just takes time out for dinner at the rest stop of milnormodern

after taking a break for more than 6 months bukaddor & fishbeck return with 2 quality tracks. >camino< unites tight and loose aspects in an exciting modern way of club music. the track works on more than one level and incorporates silly little ghosts of sounds and massive basslines and last but not least: a lot of profound sound shaping. >physx< on the b-side is much more warped, moves in way of a snake, does is surreal dreamlike and still makes these brave cuts that throw you back into life. at times this track seems to be quite dadaistic and maybe this accounts for the most experimentell track they have ever released... but it would not bukaddor & fishbeack if this track did not have a atchy clubby side to it.

throne of blood present ford inc, mission 1 ... a-side >satire< recalls the deepest moments of classic transmat artists like mayday, pairing uplifting pianos with emotive synths and a propulsive vision of techno-futurism. on the flip, >delirium< lives up to its name, pairing a dissociative bassline with jazzy vamps and organic drums. eschewing the obvious big room crowdpleasing maneuvers in favor of emotional and melodic complexity, the latest on throne of blood marks the arrival of something special in dance music. keep an ear to the ground for more from ford inc later this year.

after his dial - debut in 2010 roman flügel comes up with a second issue of essential works for a colourful twinkling dancefloor. also known as eight miles high, soylent green and _ alter ego roman flügel always has been a main influence of the dial records family to finally release his >how to spread lies< 12inch (dial054) last year. podcasted and played by the most inspiring and lovely djs worldwide it became a suprising success for dial. the follow up brasil is another joint into roman flügels unique and unexpected productions again he brings eclectisism, modernism and dandyism under a groove. timeless.

after the very well-received work >in g< borngräber & strüver have not been resting on their laurels but made >reise< (journey). they extended the concept of >21th century electro motoric kraut< on the new album >urlaub< and added their preference for disco music. like a friend of the label said: >reise – sounds like a composition for the 20th birthday of carl craigs planet e<. borngräber & strüver have consistently worked on developing their minimalist compositions without taking into consideration conventions. the nearly 17-minute >reise< that starts extremely held back, grows into a groovy trip you can hardly escape. >berlin tribal music< has a radically minimalist approach and a surprising break like a portal to a parallel dimension. the last part of the album >dancing queen< has nothing to do with abba. the piece is a missing link between electronic h-pop and groovy club sounds.

nice price deal !!! the music of the cologne based duo kitbuilders can be described as electro with scifi-punkrock-energy and a grebo edge. a remarkable element in the tracks are the vocals of female singer ripley. in the kitbuilders-cosmos you will also find the sparks in their moroderphase, chris and cosey, neu and devo. but their music is not 80s retro stuff, they include a lot of futuristic and fresh elements in their songs. after a handful of 12 inch singles and compilation appearances on labels like electrecord, world electric, vertical and ersatz audio, >wake up< was the debut full length from the duo. the us magazine xlr8r called it >...an excellent hybrid of the past and present<. alongside american outfits like adult. and fischerspooner, kitbuilders are at the forefront of the worldwide electro revolution. equal parts moroder and liquid sky, the duo of benway and ripley fluctuate between adrenaline-rush bpm 909 beats, fluttering sci-fi arpeggiations and tense, sinister moodiness.

clandestine techno/house imprint, meanwhile records reveals a one-off opus from two highly respected techno producers, niels luinenberg (delta funktionen) and samuel van dijk (mohlao). the deeply mystical >inward content< session represents the leuwarden sound of their native north holland (also former home to another master of hypnotic repetition ((of the graphic type)), m.c. escher) with an elegant, classically informed and deeply refined brand of 4/4 also identified on celebrated 12inches for ann aimee and delsin. the albums six tracks use an economical production palette, but we wouldnt call them minimal. the emphasis is on subtly monotone melodic shades, from the rippling black masses of bass which power each track, to the bluest hued pads and unfathomably expansive atmospheres which lend them their spectral grace. listening to this album is almost a mystical experience, like hearing the results of a seance conducted in low-lit surroundings calling upon the spirits of basic channel, convextion and the black dog circa 1995. >inward content< took over two years to assemble and techno connoisseurs can clearly discern why. recommended!

seuil makes a storming entrance into the offbeat world of supplement facts with his >ultravision< ep. his immaculate track record for house music that pierces the soul with its energy and drama remaining firmly in tact with yet another dream collaboration with dop vocalist jaw. parisian seuil has fast become a pillar of the deep house and techno community. the innate organic quality that courses through his productions is allied with an ever-evolving style, always rich in substance, drive and atmosphere. >ultravision< is no exception. the mesmeric progression of liquefied bleeps, deep chords, and truncated rhythms is heightened by the poignant, husky drawl of jaw that bleeds through this enveloping track. the >dub mix< allows the bubbling percussive energy to shine through in a dubbed out, darkly populated soundscape. on the flip >in the moon< is a moody tech masterpiece of floating grooves and creepy fx. breathy vocal snippets intercept with notions of mortality as seuil traverses rusty sonic terrains and upholds his ability to feed both the soul and the feet. even when stripped back to its barest bones >in the moon< captivates with a driving energy punctuated by crisply formulated drums and a sparse bass line bounce...

**hand-stamped white label, limited edition of 400** four effluvial techno and industrial bass weight remakes of tracks from cloaks debut lp by ancient methods, justin broadrick, oyaarss, and legion of two. >versus grain< was one of the darkest transmissions we caught in 2009, whose rotten and rusted fruits provide brilliantly raw material for the remixes. its worth the cost of entry alone for ancient methods nine-minute viking ruffige remix of >r.f.i.d, the kind of northern european tribal funk workout that makes folk dance like they mean it. on a more crushed and crushing tip, legion of two dole out scorn-strength percussion and muscle tearing bass torsion on a remake of >against<, while oyaarss dismantle >sixmenace two< and rebuild it as frankensteinian dancefloor monster. to polish off the foolhardy few still standing, justin broadrick (jesu, godflesh) detonates >rust on metal< with bombastic halfstep force, giving a bitter taste of what to expect from his 3by3 album, due out next year. heavyweight.

we are proud and happy to present the first release by our cologne buddy ziggy kinder. since many years ziggy is a close friend and has impressed with his work on labels like ware and tiefschwarz imprint souvenir. favela is the generally used term for a shanty town in brasil. ziggy has recorded the vocals originally with aline de magalhaes during his brasil-trip. this house-tune has been tested succesfully on the dancefloor and comes with great remixes by soukie & windish from hamburg. the digital release also includes a remix by deep data mastermind rené breitbarth from berlin.

jeroen verheij has been churning out dance floor smashing tracks for almost as long as many of todays clubbers can remember under his aliases secret cinema, grooveyard and meng syndicate to name a few. tracks like timeless altitude, mary go wild (ec records) and kurzweil (cocoon) invoke warm memories in many of us. in december of 2009 verheij set up his own label gem records and started to release the unique sound he is famous for as a dj. now, just over a year later, gem releases its first full album - and this ep is the first preview from it!

the clover deliver their second release on clap your hands called >people power ep<. get ready for 3 unique tunes! >manifesto< on the a side is going to be perfect for your summer festival set. >cosmic jam< follows on the b side and will funk your dance floor like no tune before.

petros (aka echonomist) understood that apparel music is always looking for the jazzy. we perceive this term as a really special thing, strictly human, true. and then if the real instruments come in, like voices or saxophones, the plate is ready. >thats it< starts far away, with a solo that blends and presents the entire ep something more than one minute. everything flows, stops, gets consumed, digs. >midnight talk< brings us in the most hyper deep, unusual like the style of the artist is. an overview of evolutions that lead us to the awareness that petros is in our day, between things that go fast and others that slow down to be observed. the law of nature brings us to ali kuru remix (we move a little bit to the right from greece to turkey). habits, perceptions and tastes change. ali takes us on a mental journey, long, meditated, tidy. a motif that turns over and over, while things change all around, everything evolves, disclosing new sonar places. there is not much to say. >midnight talk< is a complete ep, wanted, constructed with care and a lot of work.
